Mantronik & Mc Tee was a part of one of the most inovative hip hop groups in the 80's combining Rap, Funk, Reggae, Pop & Electronics...Mantronix still make many of todays hip hop artists look like their making elevator music!! In my opinion Mantronix is the way hip hop was supposed to be in the 90's...Raw, Cool, Independent & Hardcore!! Mantronik's real name is Kurtis Khaleel (born September 4, 1965) & Mc Tee's real name is Tooure Embden. Mantronix was formed in New York in 1984. William Socolov, the head of the independent record label "Sleeping bag Records" heard a Mantronix demo tape and a few months later "Fresh is the Word" hit the streets in 1985 with a blast!! Their second single was "Bassline" from their debut "The album" in 1986 which probably is one of the coolest and rawest hip hop albums ever made. Bassline was the first single to hit the charts outside america..well that's when i heard them for the first time and since then i've been captivated by their unique sound. Later the same year they released "Music madness", also a great album, though some people think they was in a holding pattern, i disagree. In 1988 they released "In full effect" which also was a fine piece of work. He has also worked with Toni Braxton, En Vogue, Mary J.Blige to name a few. In a interview Bryce said about working with Mantronik : "I learned alot from watching Kurtis in the studio, he was the best producer i've ever met, and his attitude reflected that.
This is a fan site profile. Mantronix was ahead of their time in their music and production. Kurtis Mantronik produced such people as T La Rock , Just Ice , Nocera , and KRS ONE. Our goal is to see Mantronix come back in to the Hip Hop scene. Mantronik The Beat Creator, The Musical Genius, The Phenom. We hope that Mantronik will rise like the Phoenix, to storm once again the Hip Hop World that he helped build. This Myspace profile has proven that people want to hear Mantronik come out and revive The Hard Core Hip hop. Time will tell and we will see. And hopefully in 2008 we will hear something, but if not we will wait patiently for his return.

Having released a couple of tuneful albums with theAudiologist and Soni Jimm since my last LP, "Fear of Mathematics", Section 27 Netlabel brings you "Wrpdata”, containing 14 tracks full of chunky, breathy and some would even say pleasantly broken breaks, some good-time-mind-fuck glitch, a few (thankfully blissful) orchestrated mixes featuring the talents of Pinklogik and theAudiologist (also acting as co-producer on this release) respectively, and ends sweetly with some beautiful spoken word poetry by the lovely aussie Cindel Waddington.
A delight on the sensory organs from start to finish, "Wrpdata" is available now for *free* download (see my page or www.myspace.com/section27netlabel). Licensed by Creative Commons.
