Mantris ... real name Dirk Eggermont, was the driving force behind pioneering house outfits The Black Sun and Brown Hardware Inc. together with Christoph Waelkens. Their creative connection led to three consecutive releases in 1992 on cult label Elektron, a short-term sublabel of USA Import Records. A productive music career was forecasted, but he vanished into thin air and no more music was ever heard of him.

Until early 2020, when a mysterious playlist made its way to Kong DJ & Hill Men. Sent from Bombay in India, little information was annexed apart from a reference to the 1992 records. In his small apartment in Bombay Mantris never stopped making music since he left Belgium twenty years ago. He composes instinctively, far away from hypes and contemporary scenes, creating intriguing and timeless jams.
