Dam Mantle is pretty spot on right now in terms of that off-kilter wonk/glitch/dubstep scene which has taken over the city in the past year. He’s a normal, unassuming-looking Glasgow-based art student called Tom Marshallsay, but probably one of the most exciting producers about at the moment. He released his EP ‘Grey‘ at the beginning of April (on boutique label Halleluwah Hits), featuring the luscious tracks; Grey and Rebong (see below). His remix of Kele Okereke’s Tenderoni (also below) not only makes the tune sound good – a feat in itself – but makes it into something mind-spangling.

Following the success of the Sailor Jerry Presents… series, Sailor Jerry bring their free live music, film and art event to Glasgow with California dance punk act !!! (Chk Chk Ck) and Dam Mantle will be supporting.

There will also be an exclusive screening of the short film Hori Smoku which documents the life and works of Norman Adams aka Sailor Jerry. Did you know, due to an IRS dispute, he stopped tattooing from his 20s to his late 50s? He only tattooed for 12 years in total.

You can pick up tickets here but hurry as space is limited!
