Mitch Lantz is an electronic music producer who struggles to stick to any one genre. His music reflects his love for all kinds of electronic music, from IDM to house and ambient to drum and bass.

With over a decade of experience in music technology, Mitch’s current home is at Polyend, where an ethos of curiosity and experimentation aligns perfectly with his values. While his role as Director of Marketing keeps him busy, he also contributes to sound design, crafting presets for the Polyend Synth, and dreaming up new devices. For Mitch, it’s all about exploration.
