"A longtime collaborator of Terenor Records on the sound engineering side, Manolo dug in his extensive record collection and took us back to the 90s, as he often does, but different from his usual BPM.  He brings up the ante and your heart rate, vibing to make you feel like you are dancing on top of a stack of speakers in a dark warehouse or the countryside. Flipping from ghetto house into Breakbeat descending into hardcore and taking you away with classic trance. Turn up the volume to hear an important PSA in the beginning. And keep it up because this is meant to be played loud. Bisous."

TRNMIX009: Manolo

Featuring close Sound Metaphors family member Brooke aka @__manolo_______ big time record and music enthusiast from around the block who has probably come to spend more time at the shop than some of our staff members by now ❤️ His love for music has led him to pursue higher grounds as a sound technician (hit him up for any jobs behind the mixing console! 🎩🚀) which has established his relationship with sound and music in very special ways. Growing up in the East Coast, it's only fair to say that house music has been his vegetable garden for a while now, a persuasive salad for the soul, this farmer is here to get your week in check. Listen to the story ✨

Beatin The Box With Manolo On Refuge Worldwide

This mix is a homage to those old places, spaces, and friends that we used to go to and we used to see.

Spinning those Brooklyn streets has threaded much of my story of musical and personal growth. Eating late night tacos at Regalos and then sublimating into the morning where space is the place.

If you are resolute in your search, then you will certainly find me and friends of mine at that record store or that dance floor. Maybe it’s at the cedar room or maybe it’s at A1 where we are looking for fun. For me this mix is gives me a lot of nostalgia. Before I played acid house I was still buggin off of pal joey. If u wasn’t there then you wouldn’t understand the spirit of how we took part. Its material to how it’s done our way.

With all that said NYC I’ll be back next year from mid Jan to early Feb for a very special gathering on the 20th In BK hope to see all y’all.

Big love

Julian is a Berlin-based DJ and founder of the label Sounds Over Seas. He first stepped behind the decks during his late teens at at highschool party and has been on a loveride journey ever since. The inspiration he takes from music are multidimensional and range from the obscure and free, to more straight forward and groovy.

When producing he uses this same approach, aiming to create something artisticaly unique with the means at hand. Next to his label duties, he is heavily involved at Open Tiny Records and also a resident at the Schimmer Records Collective.

Originally from The USA, Manolo started to learn how to spin records when living in Boston, MA. He left New York City to move to Germany in 2018. He is heavily influenced by the foundations of Black American music while also being exposed to various music from the rest of the globe especially Latin and African Music as well as Reggae. Collecting records since a teenager, his eclectic taste has allowed him to be a versatile DJ and selector across various genres and deep cuts. Based in Berlin, Germany he has become a professionally trained sound engineer, while producing and playing records throughout Germany and Europe.

The Breakfast Show  - Stella Zekri & Manolo - 30 Jul 2025

Hello Again Everyone and welcome back for a late installment of the World In Moderation. Personally i have very busy in my personal life relocating to Germany from the USA and have had much to think about and tend to in my time of transition. But the music never really stops running through my head. 

This episode could be considered 1 day late but let me give you another perspective to March 1st. Its actually February 29th. Black history shines beyond the shortest month of the Year. The babies who are born on the 29th on a leap year shall not leaped over and nor shall we.  This curation is meant to make you think, uplift, give reverence, provoke thought and create discourse. Songs that are edifices of black culture and diaspora as well as evolution. Human history is rich and Black History is an asset to that. Our identities, collectively and individually are intertwined with each other. We are diverse and beautiful. what black is and is not is not germane to what black can be, because we are infinite. Take back your space to feel free. I take back my space to be me. I take back one more day for the truth and youth. on February 29th or march 1st you choose. see yall in the future tracklist soon
