Drawing from 2000s-era downtempo & stripped down instrumental hip hop sensibilities, Michal Menert’s BODY HI is collection of sun-soaked grooves – an excursion intended to elevate the listener’s mood and calm an anxious mind.

The six tracks comprising BODY HI are the latest additions to Michal’s expressive and storied catalog. Michal Menert draws breath from the world that surrounds him, transmuting daily inspiration into music that is singularly his own.

The BODY HI EP is Michal’s first collaborative release with electronic and beat music label, Philos Records.

No Love is the second single from Michal’s upcoming EP! Listen on Spotify, Apple Music, and more now, and keep tabs for the full EP announcement coming soon.

No Love

SLOW BURN is a meditation on culling our desire and need
for extraneous possessions, burning down those things
that are not pure of heart, and warming the soul in the
embers left behind. Through loss and renewal, we may
realize that the fear of our possessions no longer being
within grasp is often larger than the fear of not having
them at all.

“Things burn down and then you watch the flowers grow
back out of the cracks,” Michal reflected in an interview
with BandWagon. “It’s about watching things burn, but
realizing that they’re just things,” he said. “And realizing
that the pain of losing them actually creates space.”

Sweet Remorse (feat. KEEPLOVE? , C1 & Paul Basic)

Elements is a tribute to alchemy, the transformation of matter. I always believed that sampling has the potential to transform a dusty, forgotten moment into a vibrant landscape of fantastic impossibilities. Music has an alchemic property, transforming silence into song, nothing into something. I chose Fire, Air, Water, and Earth, the four basic element of alchemy, as seeds for these songs. 
The first, Slivers of Light, represents fire, the sun, and the light given by both. Your Ghost, a song dedicated to the memory of my father Tadeusz Menert, signifies the element of air, and the unseen spirits therein. Eventide's two parts embody the duality of water: Part 1 is the turbulent high tide, water's destructive powers, crashing along the shores into Part 2, which sweeps through the lifegiving and cleansing properties, a low tide of sorts. The album closes with Quiet Earth, a song for my mother, Jolanta, as well as the earth that we chisel away at as a species. This song begins with the noise of humanity, with a lone voice cry out "Do you see, just what you mean to me" until the commotion calms, signifying the end of us, a finality, a quiet earth. 
I hope you enjoy what I consider my favorite work so far, remastered and released as a whole, digitally, for the first time ever.

Your Ghost

Everything Shines is an ode to long nights spent losing ourselves in the moment. It's a look back at the first taste of everything around us shining, at a feeling we chase for the rest of our lives, a split second of tasting something that lingers on our palette forever.

Everything Shines

A magical collaboration conjured deep in the bowels of Electric Forest is now seeing its first release as perennial producers Manic Focus and Michal Menert present M​anic Menert.​The projects debut single “​Whatever You Want”​is etched with a gritty, glitch­hop foundation that provides a vibeful texture for spacy bass arrangements and warping synth effects to carry the synergetic original. In its purest form, Manic Menert is a labor of love and admiration between two elite connoisseurs of electro­soul who commingle their diverse backgrounds into a harmonious creation with plans to develop further in 2015. As a shared release on Griz’s ‘All Good’ and Michal Menert’s ‘Super Best’ Records, “Whatever You Want” receives an official premiere via ThisSongIsSick.com and is available for free download now!

AT YOUR FEET(feat. Matt van den Heuvel)

This fall Michal Menert takes his renowned musical stylings to the next level as he drops the debut studio album from his six-piece live band, Michal Menert and the Pretty Fantastics. The lyrically-driven, electronic/indie LP is out NOW on Super Best Records.

The debut album for the sextet is like nothing you've ever heard from Menert, and will distinguish Michal Menert and the Pretty Fantastics as its own musical force with a uniquely indie-rock style. With beautiful melodic structure, vocals from Michal himself, and playfully inventive lyricism, this LP takes a leap in an exciting new direction while maintaining the uncompromising songwriting and production that we've come to expect.

Don't miss the band on tour accompanied by additional sets from fellow Super Best artists Marcelo Moxy and WillDaBeast, and support from StarRo (Soulection) and Russ Liquid.

High Noon

“Characteristically smooth and funky with laid-back vocals and mellow horn accents, the tune is by all definitions blissful.” - Live for Live Music

See You Again

All You Get is an affirmation to take life (with a grain of salt) and make it yours. A mantra for a disillusioned world waiting for someone else to save it, a comforting reminder that much of what we prioritize isn't as valuable as love & purpose.

Anchor Bay, California based electronic music artist and producer Michal Menert draws breath from the world that surrounds him, transmuting daily inspiration into music that is singularly his own. 

“A synthesis of past, present, and future, elegantly woven together by the hands of Michal Menert.” – Huffington Post on Space Jazz

A youth steeped in a broad swath of both Eastern and Western musical traditions gives Menert a deep palate from which to draw; his passion for original analog sounds coupled with a vast knowledge of music history has given him a unique ability to pull from the global creative canon with ease. A multi-instrumentalist, he incorporates live guitar and keys into his final production for a full sound and rich feel. 

As Menert co-produced the chart topping Pretty Lights album Taking Up Your Precious Time it was natural that he was the first artist to join Pretty Lights Music. His debut solo album Dreaming of a Bigger Life was released in 2010, followed by 2012’s mega-LP Even If It Isn’t Right. In winter of 2015 Menert released the highly anticipated Space Jazz, followed by fall 2015’s debut release by his band Michal Menert & the Pretty Fantastics, 1. His next release is expected in winter 2018.

In the live realm, Menert supplied sound design for Dead & Co tours in 2016 and 2017. Additionally, he supplied sound design on Mickey Hart’s Planet Drum rerelease in Fall 2016. Building on that relationship, Menert in both a featured performer and co-producer on Hart’s next studio record, slated for release in the fall of 2017.

Menert’s reputation as a live performer continues to grow, as he brings his music to fans nationwide via both his septet, Michal Menert & The Pretty Fantastics, and his 22-piece all-star ensemble the Michal Menert Big Band. His collaborations have led to the formation of myriad ongoing side projects including Manic Menert (with Manic Focus), Half Color (with Paul Basic) & Club Scouts (with Mux Mool). Over the years Menert has shared the stage with a number of musical luminaries including STS9, Bassnectar, Umphrey’s McGee, and more, and played legendary venues including the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver, The Gorge in Washington and the Red Rocks Amphitheatre (twice in 2016 alone.)

Committed to a community driven approach to collaborative creativity, Menert works hand in hand with producers he chooses for his own record label, Super Best Records. A dynamic and ideological producer, collaborating and working closely with a new generation of hip-hop & EDM producers, Menert is dedicated to bringing a new musical vision to life free from limitation.
