Mani Festo - Trax

READ MORE –– https://www.dummymag.com/new-music/premiere-mani-festo-warehouse-20/

Known for his omnipresence in the UK underground breaks/jungle scene rught now, Mani Festo is a producer in demand. The Club Glow co-head is now making an outing on SweetBox, following a string of releases on E-Beamz, WNCL, Hooversound and more. Take a listen to his coveted breaks banger 'Cheatin', featuring a vocal that you'll almost certainly recognise. Make sure you check out his Dummy Mix, too. Described in a press release as "hazardously sour bangers!", two-tracker 'Toxic Waste / Warehouse 2.0' is proper rave material, and we're premiering the latter below. Amid a frenzy of breaks and relentless kicks, the track spirals into an acid belter, handclaps galore and arpeggiated madness.

SAFE.RAVER Vol 1 - ft. Highrise, Etch, Dwarde, Mani Festo + Law (out now)

One year on from Erbium's emergence - with debut VA release Reactions Vol 1 - we're super proud to present the next experiment in the series.

Reactions Vol 2 marks a swirling palette of creativity, expanding into a versatile 12-tracker featuring artists from myriad backgrounds.
An exploration of sound that uncovers the many colourful states of matter within the electronic spectrum.

From trance-inducing ambience, introspective electro feels and nostalgic rave fantasies, to broken techno mindbenders, acid workouts and drum-centric leftfield sounds, each track stands as a reflection of their creator while coherently tapping into the ebb & flow of the overarching VA experience.

The release marks the culmination of almost 9 months work, curating a line up of both new and established artists that we respect and enjoy equally. We have worked very closely (label and artists) throughout the process to create a visual aesthetic that aligns with the shifting styles within, as well as to craft a sonic narrative throughout the VA that harmoniously twists & turns from beginning to end.

PREMIERE: Mani Festo  - Chuggr (Erbium Records)

https://wearethebrave.lnk.to/Sour_Punch

Theo Nasa returns to We Are The Brave with ‘Sour Punch’, another helping of his signature mind-bending arrangements, featuring a remix from the elusive UK producer Mani Festo.

The South London producer’s title track is fast paced, rowdy and confrontational. Theo charges in with rolling 909 drums, tweaky bleeping acid lines and hard hitting rave stabs.

Club Glow frontman Mani Festo takes on remix duties, offering us a nostalgic yet futuristic take on the original. His debut on WATB sees the award-nominated label head fusing high energy junglist loops with hypnotic synths to create the ultimate breakbeat vibe.

“Massive release; Theo’s original is a banger and Mani Festo takes it to the next level. Reminiscent of old Moving Shadow releases but with a modern twist” - Alan Fitzpatrick

Having ventured across the solar system, Rupture prepares its final approach of The Planets, starting with ice giant Uranus.

Mani Festo slows the tempo but raises the tension to conclude, with switching percussion and chilling atmospherics on ‘Caving In’.

The Reaper / No Stop (Remixes)

No Stop (Mani Festo Remix)

The electric pulse of classic techno raves surges through our veins, and with Halloween just around the corner, we've got a track perfectly suited for the season.

Inspired by the chilling ambiance of the 1989 horror classic, "Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan," we find Jason Voorhees, a character nearly impossible to refuse. In 2023, Jason makes his way to Berghain, not for mayhem, but to make a unique request for his favorite tracks. Rumor has it that even in the famously strict Berghain, they don't usually take requests, but who could possibly say no to Jason? The ensuing hilarity is a spectacle in itself.

Adding to the excitement, we're thrilled to introduce Mani Festo, who arrives with a mesmerizing techno-breaks remix guaranteed to unleash sonic mayhem on any sound system it graces.

Note: NOT a holiday track, we just love horror movies.

Title: Faces Vol.1 - The Many Faces of Killer Smile
Artist: Various Artists
Label: Killer Smile
Release Date: 26th June 2020

Faces Vol. 1 - The Many Faces of Killer Smile is available both digitally and on limited edition blue and white marbled vinyl with hand stamped label.

Track list:
A1) Manix - The Feeling
A2) Foul Play - Black Sun (Skeleton Army Remix)
B1) Denham Audio - Mercury Tint
B2) Mani Festo - Spiral


The mixed artist EP begins with none other than Manix of Reinforced Recs fame with 'The Feeling', a golden era style 92/93 Jungle Tekno roller with mesmerising stab notes, deep, funky subs, gliding amen breaks and soulful vox just like the good old days.
Next, Skeleton Army remixes Foul Play's 'Black Sun' in a contemporary Breakbeat Rave style fusing crisp, authentic oldskool breaks, bleeps and warehouse synths in a melodic drift to the dark side of the Jungle where cavernous riffs create a sense of defiant danger, the kind once found in journeys down the M1.
Denham Audio put on a 4min 58sec masterclass in Breakbeat science full of sweeping, atmospheric riffs that call back to early Detroit Techno and Bukem esque Jungle on 'Mercury Tint', a sonic sojourn around the rings of Saturn with mind-expanding soundscapes wrapped tightly round rolling breaks.
Mani Festo brings a progressive slant to the broken beat ensemble. The Far-Eastern influenced keys float gracefully around a crunchy oldskool hardcore break and booming bass vibrations on the aptly named 'Spiral', a bubbling cauldron of Breaks, Jungle & Techno as if created in a smoke-filled bedroom somewhere in a high rise London tower block.

A bonus remix of Foul Play’s 'Black Sun' by Mani Festo and Denham Audio lying firmly in 140 Warehouse Territory is available digitally exclusive to Bandcamp.

The first vinyl release on Club Glow is here! After a series of tape cassettes exploring the many corners of breakbeat driven rave music and beyond we are pushing things forward with our first 12" EP.

Kicking things off for 001 is Mani Festo's 'All Night EP'. The 4 Tracker features tracks built as far back as 2015, alongside brand new beat science. It's an amalgamation of Mani's influences, with audible nods to Garage, Trip Hop and Dubstep, structured in a way that sounds uniquely his own.

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

Cheeky Sneakers celebrates its grand opening in style as Denham Audio bring in a few friends for a masterclass in breakbeat rooted club music.
Opening track Single Minded, featuring the prolific Coco Bryce is a playful take on classic house tropes with a dark, ravey twist while the raw, stripped-out roller So Good, produced with fellow Club Glow affiliate Mani Festo nods back to the original jungle sound.
On the flip, another Club Glow affiliate enters the fray as LMajor assists on the cascading warehouse firecracker Down On Me while rising Japanese producer Kazuho joins to help close proceedings on the hyperactive Love Addiction.
