early support from Terr, Roman Fluegel, John Digweed, Meduza and more!

Popgang Records founding duo, Manics, present the two track "Clockwerk EP". Pulling influence from their love of UK new wave and post punk, Manics showcase their darker side with title track "Clockwerk". Written completely on analog synths (including the iconic robot voice in the breakdown), this visceral anthem-in-the-making is meant for alternative dance floors. While the b-side "24 Hour Party People" is an ode to Hacienda nights and burgeoning rave culture; featuring original vocoder, driving bass lines and ethereal melodies.

24 Hour Party People

D.C. darling Baby Weight teams up with Popgang's Manics for something completing different. "Precious Contemplations at a Loft Party" is an ode to the NYC indie sleaze era. Reminiscent of those early oughts bands that blended dance music and post punk and created a new American sound. Baby Weight provides a sped up Emo edit to keep the DJs happy, while the original is dripped in nostalgia.

Los Angeles based duo, Manics, make their Club Sweat! debut with their signature bass-disco sound on “Better Now”. Featuring funked up and hypnotic bass lines, euphoric choir samples and original vocal work, the single showcases the indie-dance artists’ dance floor and live set duality that they’ve become known for. “We love playing live shows, but we’re also entrenched in the club world and we wanted to make something that works for both spaces” says members Jordan Deherrera and Chris Sanders.
To further ensure club play, Manics called on long time friend Lubelski for remix duties. Slightly sped up and impeccably driving, his remix provides late night potential for the ear-worm vocals to make their way into club sets.

Better Now

The first single of 2014 from Manics is here. High Floors features complete original instrumentation and vocals from the San Francisco based duo turned trio. The band has been busy the last few months honing their live set, Adding Josh Hill (formerly of Hella and Boys IV Men) to the roster for percussion. After a heap of remixes and coming off their 2013 single "Git Wit Dis", Manics are back with a melancholic dance song that shows their versatility in production style, merging R&B, house, and their own style of driving indie dance.

Lyrics
nothin’ cost too much 
world of careless touch 
hold me down and say you’ll never 
walk without me 

try to make this pure, 
can we shake off our past 
nothing’s set to go just don’t 
walk without me 


nothin’ changes much 
when you’re all caught up 
find a waay to ^let go and 
walk without me 

try to make this pure, 
but we can’t shake off our past 
nothing’s set to go so you 
walk without me

Walk Without Me

More on “Make Out Room”
MANICS’ “Make Out Room” pays homage to San Francisco’s Mission District dive club of the same name. Reminiscent of Holy Ghost!, The Rapture and LCD Soundsystem, the track is a disco dance punk cut that captures the energy and dysfunction of the scenes inside small clubs around the world. “Make Out Room” is filled with stiff drinks, destructive lovers, bad drugs and too many characters acting out.

More on MANICS
MANICS is an indie dance live act from San Francisco comprised of Jordan Deherrera and Chris Sanders. Their performances are a medley of indie pop vocals, live bass, analog synths, percussion and modulation; accompanied by custom lights and visuals. Since its inception in 2012, the project has developed into a dynamic performance of technology and raw emotion with their music being supported by Odessa, Goldroom, Poolside, Steve Aoki & others around the world culminating in over 1.5M streams worldwide. After self releasing countless singles,  the duo released their “Binary EP” via Dim Mak Records in March 2019.
 
The duo are also the master-minds behind the bay-area indie label POPGANG Records. Founded in 2013, the label features artists and producers across a wide swath of genres and sub-cultures while retaining a cohesive identity built on the punk-DIY mentality turned modern.
