New Wave Podcast 046: DJ Manu C

Although having perfected her craft as a DJ years ago, Manu C found her home in the ghetto and electro community over the recent lockdown, emerging as one of the hottest young artists in the scene. With a natural ear for music, her sound has took various pit stops during her time as a DJ, however her recent rise was due to the plethora of knee-jerking and high voltage mixes released over the past year. Her bubbly and expressive personality is certainly portrayed into her mixes where she is able to express herself whilst creating a deep musical narrative.

Her prowess behind the decks has never been in question, featuring regularly in the local scene, but she admits that she does not have the freedom to fully convey her true vision as an artist due to the lack of support for ghetto and electro music. Residing in Buenos Aires and playing this style of music, does have it's limitations, due to the scene being heavily commercialised. However with a move to Europe planned for the future, her future is very bright. She has already made several links with labels and parties; including Former City Records and Sound Transitions.

We recently caught up with Manu to discuss her lockdown life, clubs opening during lockdown in Argentina, the Argetinian festival scene and nerves when DJing in front of a crowd.

"My original jungle sound I called raw jungle because I wanted to recreate the sound of the old worn out jungle cassettes I grew up with. (This was back when lofi/raw house was the big thing) but my sounds gotten a bit cleaner since then. Despite not using them as much anymore the KSETDEX name is a tribute to the methods I used to get that old raw sound that my basement jungle tape has. Even if my music's texture is a bit cleaner now that lofi influence is in my blood. I also love me some Digital Hardcore Recordings."
