Electric Mantis – Flips and Flops, Drips and Drops [Free Download]
The internet has been a monumental force in helping unknown artists be recognized and be brought to the masses. Just a few days ago, Electric Mantis was just a 20 year old producer from Portland who went from averaging 30 plays a day on his Soundcloud to over 217,000 plays (and counting) on his new track “Flips and Flops, Drips and Drops”. That’s a pretty big leap in a matter of a couple days.
The exposure was due to Mad Decent record label signee Djemba Djemba, who reposted the tune on his own Soundcloud. It blew up quickly after that, and for good reason. The song has a chill, laid back vibe going for it with elements of trap and hip hop to it. What surprised Wyatt Pearson the most and what he considers “the biggest achievement of this whole thing is that my grandma likes my song.” Read about how this whole thing came about on reddit HERE.
