A new Electric Mantis track is something that always puts a huge smile on my face.

The highly anticipated debut EP from Electric Mantis has arrived. Braincase is a 5 track effort that takes listeners on an entrancing and mind-altering journey.

Gearing up for his Braincase EP, Electric Mantis, just unleashed the second single ‘Apollo’. It picks up where ‘Infautation’ left off, blending heavy bass hits with futuristic synths.
