Electronic music is the word that defines the passion of Mangelt.
Combine and merge organic sounds, synthesizers, instrumentation,
a little old school with new trends, and a continuing search for
new ways to mark their path.
He began to play records at 17, although his interest in music started
much earlier. The curious and innovative nature drives him to want to be part more directly and with 19 years of fate lay his hands on TR 808
Roland, which was more than enough to take the next step and start
produce their own songs. Since then he has worked and works for
many labels a lot of them known and respected internationally,
has remixed and collaborated with great artists from the Electronic music scene
In defining his music, swing, deep, techouse ... would be some of the right words, as would dekomatic and Plastic Garden Records their own recognized labels by those who usually release their productions along with many other artists.
JONAS HERNANDEZ
Gran Canaria born and raised, Jonas got involved in music radio back in 1997. His approach reaches such diverse styles as electro or hip-hop, or more complementary ones, as techno and dub are. He has shared decks with artists such as LOD, Gregory Shiff, Mikael Stavostrand or Barem, and his work as member of several local music collectives has helped spreading the electronic culture in the Canary Islands.
