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

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

VIBES is a group out of Southern Cali who we got to see live after already becoming fans of their soundcloud catalogue. We knew we wanted to work with them because not only were they top notch producers, but their live show was incredible as well. Their name overlap with ours was just another sign that we had to work together.

Manics is another Cali production trio out of San Fran that delivers that Nu Disco flavor and puts the vocals front and center with a ‘move on groove on’ kind of feel. Their mix employs some deep bass modulation as well that is sure to delight in the clubs and on the dance floor.

VIBES - Fast Train (Manics Remix)

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

Manics debut 5 track EP “Personalities” came out in April, 2012 featuring an eclectic mix of Nu Disco and Moombahton sounds. The title track, Personalities became an instant hit, receiving placement on Beatport’s “Must Hear Indie Dance Tracks” for the week of it’s release along with countless blog posts and some radio play. “Personalities B-Sides” features remixes from French producer Mazik, SF live house legend Jaswho?, and Temple Music Group residents Lucas Med and Soulspin. Each remix keeps much of the original’s style of Vocal infused Nu Disco bliss.

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.
