Mantissa Mix 377: runa & asha [10 Years of Mantissa - Mix 3/5]

Next up in the 10 year celebrations, runa & asha lead us through the bass-driven wilderness with a live recording of their excellent three hour opener from Montreal’s Exposé Noir.

“This 3-hour recording is taken from our opening set at an Exposé Noir day party in Montreal last October. It captures a pivotal moment in our musical journey. We’ll always have a deep love for bass (and it’s definitely present here), but this set marks the moment when we began exploring new textures, emotions, and modes of storytelling.

Starting with slower tempos and syncopated rhythms, the mix moves through atmospheric tracks with sentimental breaks before closing with rolling, bass-heavy, percussive, techno-adjacent sounds. This set reflects how our approach to DJing has evolved—layering rhythms, basslines, and tonal elements to create something fresh and engaging for the dance floor.

For us, this mix is a snapshot of our growth and experimentation. Hope you enjoy xx”
