Mauv shares new single Manual on London/L.A. based label all my thoughts. Despite the infancy of the project, the London via the midlands artist has made waves of late, with recent single Change Will Come Anyway - a duet with Pixx - generating a buzz which saw the song on heavy rotation at BBC 6Music and eventually added to their playlist. 

New single Manual is an intense and explorative experience, showcasing Mauv's talents both as a lyricist and producer. Known in the South London scene - while still very much a newcomer - Mauv is something of an outlier, as his previous singles, including the hugely catchy Pillow Talk demonstrate. 

On the release Mauv says "I’d been in London for a year when I began this, and through the sudden intensity of city life I had a lot of pent up emotions and experiences that I wanted to put into this music"

Expect to hear more music from Mauv very soon. 
He will also perform at The Old Blue Last in London on November 18th.

QnA

Where did you grow up? Was it a single place or many places? How did this influence the songs you listened to?

I was born in Ann Arbor, lived in Redford for a year of my life, but spent majority of my life in Highland, Michigan. The rural midwest is a moody place. I spent a lot of time alone, at empty playgrounds or vacant parking lots, in empty lots waiting for homes to be built. I’m also a highly dramatic person, and spent my time recording these moments, finding songs to layer over them. My music taste growing up was heavily influenced by the internet, by tumblr and film scores (like Mica Levi’s).

Can you pick one song in the mix and explain where you first listened to it?

“The Rip” by Portishead was introduced to me by my sister. It was one of the first records I got and she told me it was mandatory listening. I remember being amazed at trip hop and how it seemed to combine these different elements from other genres I loved.

Who “introduced” you to these songs? Was it a person, a radio station, a CD?

It’s hard for me to trace back the exact moments of most of these songs. I see Portishead and Nina Simone as sort of my centerpiece influences, and everything else can trace back to either of those. Portishead lead me into artists (suprisingly) like Tinashe, but also like Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith and FKA Twigs. Nina Simone lead me to Kelsey Lu, Anna Wise, Mazzy Star. I’ve always been attracted to poetic women in music, and I think this mix reflects that. 

Where and when did you first hear techno? Who did it sound like it was for?

I first heard techno at a club in Detroit sophomore year of college. I was into more experimental electronic music at the time, Arca was probably my gateway into techno. Shortly after I attended my first Interdimensional Transmissions show, and became obsessed with the complete freedom I felt at shows. My teenage years were spent at concerts every weekend, but only when I discovered electronic music did I discover my love for dancing and for the curation of a space.

You’ve got the microphone. What do you want to say?

Techno, electronic music, and clubbing has the power to be revolutionary if we let it. Like Emma Goldman said, If I can’t dance, I don’t want to be part of your revolution.”

We've paired Corporeal's mix with a still from Lucy Raven's Ready Mix—a 45min video piece documenting the vibrating, earth-moving, and destructive process of creating concrete. Both pieces have an open-air, open-road, open-ended quality—perfect for a hot summer day.
