Slowly Episode 02: @swmanikk

This episode we proudly present one of Hanoi's homegrown acts. This mix is leaned towards the techno side drawing each corner to a slow fold. Enjoy.

Born in 91’, growing up surrounded by the vast open spaces of Vietnam's countryside, the gloomy yet energetic colors and sounds of nature flowed over into my music, creating adventures on the dance floors. With a mix of various genres, using techno, indie dance, electronica, down tempo, and more. I wish to bring ravers deep impressions and new concepts of beauty in contemporary music. Let your soul sink into a bustling dance and take you to another land with Manikk.

Slowly Episode #02 - Manikk

Friend began his journey as a music journalist in 2010 founding @psymedia before taking up DJing 2017. In 2018 he moved from South Africa to Vietnam and quickly established himself as a formidable DJ and promoter in the region. From sandy beaches down south to mystical caves up north, Friend played at many reputable clubs, festivals and tropical jungle raves such as Studio Adventure, Savage, Retreat (Equation), We Groove and Equinox Festival. His creatively curated 'This Is' club nights and prolific sunrise afterparties in Hanoi under his humble record label @magicboxengine also played a pivotal role in shaping the city's underground music scene.

Since returning to Cape Town in 2021, Friend has performed at renowned festivals and prolific venues such as Wolfkop Weekender, Bazique, Habitat, Into The Wild, Afrikaburn, Origin Festival and Modular Club. Often eclectic, sometimes obscure, always tasteful - Friend's forever evolving sound is heavily influenced by his nomadic travels in SE Asia, South America and Europe. Never shy to switch up the genre or tempo, his versatile approach sees him blending elements of ambient, house, minimal, techno, electro and breakbeats spanning both new school and old.
