PLASMA, the first Manao EP for Kontra, is the culmination of years of sound and visual exploration, of learning within the environment of electronic music, of creative exercises that led to a new approach and a new narrative. His sound is the result of not being afraid of transformation, of ideas that are born from research. The result, however it may be, is accepted for what it is.

From this perspective, this EP gets felt in the bloodstream. PLASMA is the name that Manao wanted to give to a sensation: that of wanting to move to the rhythm of club music. It is in this work, and in this specific moment of his career, that he himself defines as in continuous transformation, in which all his moments and sound ideas converge and merge, generating a sound that for him is totally new and that, despite being influenced by European and American trends, it is built from its Latin American roots.

PLASMA also serves as a laboratory in which Manao experiments by meeting with other Latin American sonic producers. The result can be tasted in the track REALDEAL, produced in collaboration with Elektor, whose remix, by Bimol & Jauri, has also been included in the EP.

PREMIERE: Manao - X03 (K O N T R A)

The second release for Atomic Alert sees False Persona delivering his hard-hitting, explosive electro sound. Although a fresh face, the 21 year old Bournemouth-based producer has been self taught music production and DJing since the age of 13, and after spending years learning how to make different styles of music under a multitude of aliases, his sound as an artist definitely serves as a hybrid of genres.

On the title track Unknown Variable, he combines extra-terrestrial mutating synths and ghostlike pads with an insanely infectious bass line. Similarly, Hive Mind is a deep space club roller constantly buzzing its way through your mind.

The introduction of Brighter Days and By My Side is False Persona's own form of alchemy; reconstructing his usual element of club-ready electro with an expansive sonic landscape of subsonic pressure waves and euphoric pads layered with other-worldly vocal samples and magical glitchy percussion. A nuclear remix of Brighter Days cooked up by Dexorcist, one of the most prominent icons of electro and a dreamy rework of By My Side, Atomic Alert's Nite Fleit presses the button on this diverse weapon of an EP.

“Unknown Variable is a release that’s extremely special to me in so many ways. Not only is it my first proper EP, but for the longest time I’ve wanted to encapsulate my typical electroey sound alongside the more emotional, floaty side to my productions - some of which I’ve been sat on for months, even years, but hadn’t quite found the right moment for them until now.
I’m super excited to finally share these tracks with the world, along with stellar remixes from Dexorcist and Nite Fleit, two of my absolute favourite producers that I never imagined I’d one day be calling friends :)” - False Persona

If you’re currently lucky to be in a position to spare some funds, please consider making a charitable donation in your community to help support individuals and organizations impacted by the ongoing Covid-19 outbreak.

Should you still have any additional good fortune left, we have put together a second Aid EP, to help support the artists in our community and on our label, currently under financial pressure due to the massive amount of DJ gig and live set cancellations within our scene - and to keep the lights on in our collective, which is heavily dependent on income from event production.

The Aid EP II additionally enables us to provide a bit of work for our mastering engineer, also a DJ and producer, financially impacted by event cancellations.

All sales will be split 50/50 between the artists and ourselves, after production costs have been recouped.

Stay healthy out there - and if you have the means, we encourage you to find ways to reach out and support those affected in your local communities.

In case you missed it, here is the first Aid EP from April 2020: mechatronica.bandcamp.com/album/aid-ep
