A new frontier for experimental heavy electronic music

+ @riolabel @initinit

Benedikt Frey is many. Or just one? He is a composer. An arranger. A DJ. A Liveact. A ghost producer. A fan. He also plays in bands like INIT, or Dolphins or KEYS +++ produced the last two albums for Chris Imler. Downbeat in experimental dub zones. The goat for Edits and remixes. When house was his nation, he used to listen to pen names like Suedmilch or Venedikt Reyf. He still likes the music formed under their umbrella, but today his tomorrow is not echoed in yesterday. His sound signature moved on. Into the open. He founded labels like R.i.O. or Serious Trouble. 

He lives in Berlin. Physically. In mind Benedikt Frey is at many places. Traveling far thru his home studio that is a flat a studio a flat an instrument a record collection a flat a studio. Everywhere gear, vinyl, tapes, instruments, rooms for spontaneous sonic notions, these moments, when a sudden strike of stimulation falls. He is inspired a lot. For music to dance. Music for films. Music for live shows. Music for dancing glows. Techno, house, downbeat, ambient, jungle, electronics outside the norms. Those transportive ones. Jamming with others. Jamming with his mind. In Berlin Wedding, North of the town, where the lights dimmed low, neighbors share the flow, and a small river runs slow.  As a DJ he plays here, there, everywhere. Big clubs, small shacks, festivals, gatherings. From fast to 90 BPM - as he feels. 

For himself. For the crowd. In the spur. He still remembers his club kid days. Going to dance with friends. Down there in Offenbach. Doing the Robert Johnson. Collective emotions for a better tomorrow. These he still seeks. In his music. His shows. His collaborations. You can book him for a party. For enlightenment. For ecstasy or introspective perspectives. Dancing slow, whilst pirouetting a high-pitched show. 

Since more than a decade. His own music is out there, too. Bringing his spirits in sound. On his own labels. On international imprints like ESP Institute, Hivern Discs, Craigie Knowes, or Emotional Response. Solo works. Driving ones. Slow drills. Teased during his DJ dates around the planet. 

The music plays day and night. Inspiration comes. From a simple kick drum. A movie sequence. A bird on the sill. A picture, totally still. Can’t kick that feeling when it hits. Benedikt Frey. In dreams. In streams. In music. Emotions. Situations. At night. In those flashy lights, when it bites.

Keep Bouncing.

Drawing inspiration from decades of Funk, Latin, Jazz and Hip-Hop music, Altered Tapes remixes / re-edits / reworks the classics. Extracting their basic elements and then reconstructing into dance floor bangers.

The production / DJ duo consists of Maker & DJ Trew. Fueled by a passion for crate digging, original breaks, and timeless music, the overall concept of the project is to elevate the art of the remix to unexplored levels. Their creations remain true to the original artists & songs, while at the same time becoming completely new compositions.

Live and direct from the Windy City...

A true example of the ever present diversity in sound from the South West of England. Boasting an array of live instruments including Trombone, Saxophone, Flute, Accordion, Synth Bass, Banjo, amongst others. Balkan, Gypsy, Ska and Reggae are some of the many genres that this eclectic band draw their musical mega sounds from. Their offbeat vibes are made for moving feet and causing raucous, rambunctious stomposity. Often causing feet to twitch in the most unlikely of people, they are never short of a lively and enthusiastic crowd.

Over the last year, Manushka has appeared at many unforgetable festivals and shows including Boomtown Fair, Sunrise, Balter and the international gypsy music bonanza known as Goulash Disko in Croatia. In between the festival shenanigans, the band have been booked as main support for some of their biggest influences such as Dunkelbunt, Electric Swing Circus, Babyhead and Gentleman’s Dub Club. All of this plus affiliations with Bristol’s Fat Hat Collective and Diplomats of Sound mean big things are looming on the horizon for Manushka.
