Fantastic Man Exclusive Mix

Aussie native, Mic Newman, under the guise of 'Fantastic Man' crafts deep feelgood disco-tinged house with well-selected samples and clever groove-building rhythms. His latest venture for Wolf Music on their last EP featuring the likes of Greymatter and NY/London bloggers Bicep released this September, 'Don't Worry, It's Just Me' was a lesson in dancefloor house, all classic soul vocals and catching handclaps. Here he makes us a lush exclusive mix featuring Tornado Wallace, Debukas, and labelmate Medlar for Dazed.

Well, sometimes I like to take a note, a sawtooth wave, right off a Pantomime 4, re-gen it through itself, loop it back, mix it with the sound of a crab commiting suicide, and I let it stew on reverb for about 3 hours, right? And then I pump it all out through a shoe to get a nice oakey timbre.
