---<<< FEATURED RELEASES >>>---

After a relatively quiet period on the production front, Dustin Nantais is back on Manual Music, and maybe even more importantly, he's back with his first new release in more than a year!

Over the last couple of years he's been churning out one quality release after another on labels such as BluFin, SexOnWax, Wide Angle, Kittball, Stripped, Natura Viva, MNL and so many others.

2018 will see him launch his own label, but to keep you syked with anticipation the Toronto based DJ and producer drops an upbeat arpeggiator driven dance floor pleaser here with 'Apathy'. The infectious bassline is sure to work like a charm, a sure crowd favorite this one!

'Apathy' is our final single release of 2017. A proper way to end this we think! But of course we always end the year with our annual Manualism compilation, so be sure to keep an eye for that one as well.

Apathy (Original Mix) [MANUAL]

Further (Original Mix) [SECRET SOCIETY]

Empathic (Original Mix) [MANUAL]

Global Village was the name chosen for this new release of various-artists album that includes songs by creative producers from distant corners of the planet; 8 songs that create an innate musical union and bring together these ingenious talents from the global music community.

Throw Away (Original Mix) [BEESOUND]

Dustin Nantais makes his first appearance on Cinematique. The Manual Music resident from Canada reworked the laid back beats from 'En Spegelsvart Exil' and turned it into a stunning melodic tune.

Joel Forsberg - En Spegelsvart Exil (Dustin Nantais Remix) [CINEMATIQUE]

For heaven to bare a perfect match
Light the flame and kindle it
But tries the lover 'fore the catch
Brews the seas and blows the winds

Raises mountains, pours the rains
Widens miles, slows the days
Who has braved the long days
Savors more the perfect kiss.

WTHI005 - Dustin Nantais - Wandering (Original Mix)

Dustin Nantais makes his long awaited return to Manual Music after delivering one of the labels' biggest releases of last year with 'Apathy'.

The Toronto based artist delivers two delightful new tracks, kicking things off with the title track 'Last Legs'. A lovely piece of blissful dance floor euphoria that sits nicely in the middle of progressive melodic house and a more bigroom kinda sound. Sure to be dropped at many festivals this summer season!

On remix duties we welcome Argentinian rising star Emi Galvan on board, after already having released material by him on our MNL label. He brings that percussion driven South American touch which we love so much, and gives 'Last Legs' a whole different feel. Groovy!

The second original is titled 'The More You Do' and is a bit deeper and moody when compared to the opening track. The infectious bassline gently takes you on yet another trip to dreamland as the strings and arpeggiators get introduced subtly along the way. Proper emo vibes here!

Always end the thing with a bang we thought, so we asked Matan Caspi to remix 'The More You Do' and the result is nothing short of stunning! The Outta Limits label boss truly delivers on of his best remixes to date here with a driving chunky percussion fueled interpretation. Proper peak time dance floor madness right here!

Two great originals by Dustin Nantais topped off by two strong interpretations by Emi Galvan and Matan Caspi. What more can one ask for?

Dustin Nantais - Last Legs

For our latest 90watts release Paul Hazendonk has brought a few friends along for some groovy, funky and uplifting summer vibes!

The release kicks off with 'Vroesenpark', a collab with the mysterious Hank Achi who suddenly re-appears after a couple of years of anonymity. The previous two Paul Hazendonk & Hank Achi collabs saw the light of day in 2015 on Guy Mantzur's Plattenbank label and Paul's own Manual Music. 'Vroesenpark' is a constantly teasing timeless groover, highly infectious- as well as effective. Try standing still to this one!

On the flip side you'll find 'Inspect Her Gadget', a joined effort between Toronto based artist Dustin Nantais and Qbical & Paul Hazendonk's house music project Furrr & Hazendonk. Uplifting summer vibes with a hint of nineties flavor. These positive vibes will put a smile on your face without a doubt.

Two uplifting cuts right in time for the summer festival- and beach party season. Enjoy!

David Hohme & Dustin Nantais - Onward Only

Hitting the virtual shelves in October 2018, Rauchhaus and his sparkling "Opal" provided another beautiful melodic moment on Proton Music. With a release of its own on Particles, the original is now reprised alongside remixes from Canadian, Dutch and Polish talents.

Paul Hazendonk and Dustin Nantais are hugely respected names within the underground dance scene. Both individually renowned for a wealth of releases on a series of blue-chip imprints, Dutch star, Hazendonk has found himself at the vanguard of dance music for well over a decade from his Rotterdam home. Owner of the globally renowned Manual Music and MNL imprints, a roster that includes, Henry Saiz, Eelke Kleijn and Umek have kept Hazendonk at the epicentre of a world stage. A producer with almost 400 production credits, his own music has found its way onto the likes of Natura Viva, ICONYC, and Black Hole. Similarly, Dustin Nantais finds himself at the forefront of the Toronto DJ scene with performances across his home city. A sparkling production career has seen plethora of high-profile releases hit the likes of Where The Heart Is, Perspectives Digital and Particles, over a 5-year reign at underground music's top table. Joining forces, Hazendonk and Nantais have had a series of high-profile collaborative releases with stops on BluFin, Einmusika and Proton Music as they now make their Particles debut with a typically scintillating remix. Creating a beautifully crafted melodic affair, a strong bassline and ticking percussion provide the foundation for a clever us of Rauschhaus' components to create a track that revels in pulsating pads and sparkling riff. Hitting its stride post-breakdown, a strong combination of groove, melody and vocals provide a striking new interpretation of "Opal".

From Zawiercie in the central-south of the country, Rafa'EL has been creating electronic music for over a decade. With a passion for "deep house, progressive and tribal", the Polish artist has crafted a distinctive style with his popular "Infusion" show on Proton Radio. Simultaneously, an ever-evolving production career has found Rafa'EL with almost a double century of production credits to his name after a debut for Usessions Records in April 2013. Going on to feature heavily for fellow countryman, Tuxedo and his Electronic Tree imprint, Rafael has also been a regular on Sonic Union's Lowbit, Gai Barone's Afterglow and the iconic Balkan Connection. Making his mark on Particles in 2018, the four-track "Twin Flames" saw two original tracks supported by remixes from Izzet and E.F.G. in June, as he now returns to the label. Remixing "Opal", the Rafa'EL interpretation immediately identifies itself with Rauschhaus' original as familiar melodic themes are played out above a strong beat and dancefloor-friendly groove. Building in elegant fashion, new melodic phrases emerge with shimmering motif and reversed phrases making an innovative statement. Driving forwards in the third movement the combination of additional productional material with original components has created a rich and impressive new version.

Remixes from Nantais and Hazendonk and Rafa'EL have kept Rauchhaus and his "Opal" glistening firmly in the spotlight.

Dustin Nantais - Burning

Magnitude Recordings proudly presents a new name to its label. Please welcome Neptun 505 from Poland, a veteran producer who has been around for more than a decade and has been a solid favorite in the sets of label owner Francesco Pico for a long time.

Now debuting on Magnitude Recordings, Neptun 505 drops two original tracks which both get a proper reworking.

The release starts out deep and moody with 'Magnets', quickly followed by the more proggy Nicolas van Orton remix of Balkan Connection fame.

'Dream Within A Dream' is a melodic slow mover, intelligent and euphoric, lifted to the peak time moments of the night by Canadian producer Dustin Nantais (Anjunadeep / Where The Heart Is / Manual Music).

Bookings & Remix Req: dustin.nantais@icloud.com

Hailing from Toronto, Canada, and armed with an incredibly productive writing process and an impressive technical fluency, Dustin has proven both in the studio and in live performances he’s capable of big things.

Having began playing guitar and piano at the age of 10, by 16 he was producing music and performing in bands, everything from punk rock to electronica. At age 22 he was traveling throughout Ontario, Canada and the north eastern United States with a pop-punk indie outfit. By 2004

It wasn't long before Dustin was performing as a DJ in some of Toronto's hottest clubs. His mixes have been featured on internet radio stations and podcasts globally and in 2012 Dustin went international, having played his first overseas gig in the UK.

Where Dustin is truly finding his calling is in his production. With nearly 50 releases in the last 3 years, Dustin is compiling an impressive catalogue of house and techno spanning all flavours of the genre, from deep emotional house to energized big-room progressive. In 2014 Dustin was approached by Manual Music label-boss Paul Hazendonk. It was a match from the start, and with numerous collaborations and solo releases in 2014 on Manual and others, there is no end in sight to what these two can do.

In 2014 Dustin took the plunge on performing live. Leveraging his productive writing process, the bi-product is plenty of material to mix and match in a live setting.

You’ll be hard pressed to find someone as passionate and enthusiastic as Dustin. His positivity is infectious and he’s thankfully transmitting it to the world through his music.
