Friday 3 February 2023 sees Newcastle polymath, Man Power release his first EP of the year, Wallsend’s Finest, on burgeoning Belfast imprint, Nocturne, following up recent successes on the label from the likes of Zillas on Acid, Tech Support, Perdu & Alex Virgo.

On the first Man Power outing on Nocturne he delivers a gnarly acid workout on ‘Overbite’. Driven drums, 303 squelch and tense synths are order of the day making a perfect combination for the late night, heads down crew.

On ‘Full Body Gurn’, he turns in a percussive 4/4 beast with a refreshing nod to a classic that will sit comfortably between both the house and bass dance floors.

Fiercely independent, Man Power is the curator of the Me Me Me label and parties, which this year has seen DJ Harvey, Jeff Mills, Daniel Avery, Gerd Janson, Jennifer Cardini and many more travel to join him in Newcastle while he continues to support, mentor and champion new talent from across the world.
Having taken some downtime to adapt, re-focus and re-align himself with a renewed focus as a producer and DJ, 2023 is on track to be a year of creative energy, as the Man Power project enters its second decade as a force to be reckoned in club culture.

It’s been exactly one year since we interviewed Man Power for our MixedBy series. Since then, The Me Me Me founder has launched himself back into the world, returning to some form of normalcy post-COVID. The British maestro is back to throwing regular gigs in his home base of Newcastle and is touring once again, bringing his world-renowned DJ sets back to the masses.

To mark his welcomed return, Man Power has partnered with Finnish imprint Echocentric Records to release his first vinyl record of the year! Titled “Space Walk,” this EP contains a total of 3-tracks and sees Man Power in his element dishing out his signature sounds that have been labeled as ‘intergalactic house.’ However, in his latest rendition, the beats have more of a tribal feeling – resembling something closer to home than some of his extraterrestrial belters.

Case and point, we are premiering the A2 from the record titled “What a Puny Plan.” Like most dance tracks of this variety, I wouldn’t put too much emphasis on the track's name, but instead, concentrate on its melodies. The song grabs your attention immediately with its gyrating bassline and almost ancestral-sounding percussion. This gives the listener the feeling as if an ancient ritual is about to take place and that Man Power is the shaman leading the procession. Man Power then continues to layer in waves of ethereal synths over menacing horns that give the tune some much-needed gravity – compelling the dancefloor to come together and groove as one. “What a Puny Plan” might be the closest thing you’ll come to having a religious experience at the club and we’re ready to repent for our sins!

Nu School Balearic producer @myfrienddarioproducer is back with a delectable Sunsoaked four track EP 'Food for Woofers Vol 1' which lands this Friday via @hell-yeah Recordings.

Apparently working towards a debut album My Friend Dario is a producer who always managed to give the Balearic sound a modern twist and this EP is no different  as Nu Balearic Breaks nestle next to tropical chords and mid tempo house.

Our premier today Easy Sunday combines powerful laser synths with a throbbing bassline and twinkling leads. It's a fascinating and powerful track which will please clubbers and sun worshippers alike.

TRACKLIST -- https://dmy.co/mix/dmy-mix-006-man-power

Geoff Kirkwood is an artist for the people - not so concerned with image, status or even legacy he’s a creative who is as comfortable writing or presenting experimental symphonies and Audio Visual orchestral performances as he is delivering raucous kinetic techno to sweaty dance floors. 

Filling the spaces between his eclectic output, Kirkwood's work as Man Power has become some of his most meaningful and potent. The project began all the way back in 2014 as an anonymous series of dark remixes which culminated in a debut EP on Correspondant. Via his Man Power alias, Geoff has since gone on to show the complete picture of his sonic breadth via output for the likes of DFA, SKINT, Hivern Discs and his self-helmed Me Me Me imprint. Not just satisfied with making music, his acclaimed Us & Them parties have been reversing the grubby trends of club-night promotion, ditching advance tickets and corporate mentality in place for a focus on regional talent regardless of profile. 

Recorded live in Newcastle while opening for Leftfield's tour earlier this month, this DMY mix shows Man Power's selector skills at their very best. Spanning over two hours in length, strap in for a real journey from start to finish.
