Kurtis Mantronik and Just-Ice have reunited under the name Mantronix, and the duo is dropping new music. Following up last years "A Long Time", the new single "Rockin' Worldwide" combines Kurtis' signature drum heavy production with Just-Ice's witty lyricism and rugged delivery. "We been rockin' worldwide/it started in New York" Just chants over the sparse drum track and piano loop.

In a recent interview with Rock The Bells Just-Ice reveals that the duo are in the studio creating more magic for their fans. "The new music is dope, and we are hoping that it will catch on," says Just-Ice. "Me and Schooly D are gonna do something, and I'm doing something with Greg Nice, which should be interesting because we have two totally different styles. I feel that anything that Kurtis makes is gonna be dope."

Mantronix and Just-Ice ushered in a drum machine heavy, hardcore sound in the mid 1980's, defining an era with their Sleeping Bag/Fresh Records string of releases. Mantronix, which consisted of Kurtis Mantronik and MC Tee released classics such as "Fresh Is The Word", "Needle To The Groove", "Bassline", and "Ladies". As a producer Mantronik redefined drum machine programming with his collaborations with label mates T La Rock, Tricky Tee, Just Ice, Nocera, Joyce Simms, and Hanson & Davis.

Justice's debut album, Back To The Old School showcased his raw and energetic flow, as well as his commanding voice on classics such as "Cold Gettin' Dumb", "Put That Record Back On", "Latoya", "Turbo Charged", and "Gangster Of Hip-Hop". Just Ice went on to release the critically acclaimed Kool & Deadly and The Desolate One, while Kurtis Mantronik found further success in dance and electronic music, before taking a break from the industry.
