Mantrix aka Benjamin Last and Richard Hinkson are a Melbourne based Psy-Trance duo that have been producing and performing since 1993. With solid musical production foundations, as well as extensive knowledge of musical theory and instrumentation, Mantrix have developed a unique alchemy of live electronic and instrumental performance and composition. The dynamic duo have united countless dance floors with their unique sets, earning the respect and admiration of many fans and event organisors.
For about seven years to date, Mantrix have toured Australia, performing at open air festivals such as Outback Eclipse, Exodus, Woodford, Rainbow Serpent (six times), Earthcore (five times), Earthdance (five times). Mantrix are known for their dedication to putting on spectacular shows, such as Earthdance Melbourne 2004, where their set included a jam with Australian rock legends, Regurgitator, Tibetan chanting, Indigenous Australian dancers, screaming guitar solos and a stage full of tribal percussion.
Mantrix have been known to run their own nights, in which they provide all the music for the whole night, including everything from live ambient performances with middle eastern musicians and vocalists, to live Hard Trance sets and DJing everything from World music, to funky disco sets, to full on Psy-Trance. With a strong tribal backbone, Mantrixs music has matured to be appreciated by a wide audience, while still satisfying their fans among the Trance communities. With a professional edge that successfully fuses Bens shamanic percussive energy and Richies melodic wizardry, Mantrix create a distinctive, yet diverse strain of Psy-Trance that hypnotises their fans, and truly rocks the party.

Mantrix, May you be as vivid as your hallucinations. Your hair sends forth a sheen remniscent of golden sunlight winding through shadows. Wood nymphs sprinkle your path with rose petals while you dance and prowl in the sequined moonlight with leftover cupcake sprinkles. Your layers of absinthe and torsion form concretions of hyper-alimentation. I relentlessly desire cotton candy lollipops. Come, let me suckle your fingers that I may absorb and lose myself in the wise and beautiful starlight that is you. Your wonderfully bright soul keep the demons from torturing me. Torrent vibrations cling to your skin and force you to consider relations with the perils of your eyelashes torturing my libido. How can I help but use your eyes as a means for self-asphyxiation? Your cleverness helps me breathe without the need of oxygen. In your absence I am forced into finding other forms of amusement while thinking about you. Polished rock candy comes ever to mind when thinking of you. Transistors bridge where your vanity would never go.
