Tribe...
This word has been playing over and over in my manic mind this week. Whether it's an ancestral tribe, community, a family circle, a close inner friendship circle or the tribe that you join to dance the night away with, we all have tribes we identify with and connect to - it's that tribe that moves to the same beat as that inner tribal rhythm pulsating through your being.

As a result I've zoned in on an Afro and Deep Tech mixtape this week - it's filled with tribal rhythms from around the world, coupled with deep basslines and will make you shake what your mama (and your tribe) gave ya!

Manic Mind '23 - Cool (GR) Takeover Session - Organic / Progressive

Manic Mind takeover time! This edition brings forth a true luminary of the organic house realm for those who seek auditory solace - Grex

Hailing from the picturesque landscapes of Slovenia, Grex brings a masterful touch and weaves intricate tapestries of sound that resonate with the very depths of one's soul. His mixes are a harmonious blend of melody and rhythm and carry within them the power to transport us to distant reveries and uncharted sonic landscapes.

Despite taking a hiatus from the forefront of DJing a decade ago, Grex's passion for crafting sonic experiences has never waned. Like a skilled alchemist, he infuses his sets with a palpable sense of nostalgia, taking us on an emotive journey that dances between the realms of memory and imagination. Each track selected, each beat meticulously placed, speaks to his unwavering dedication to the craft.

Manic Mind '23 #26 -  Organic / Afro / Deep Tech

Oh my hat!!

It's been a minute since I last uploaded a Manic Mind mix without my radio show voice interrupting the choons! I've put together 18 tracks that have featured on my weekly show on Release Radio (UK) and they're choons that sure blow my skirt up - Progressive and Organic sounds from Antrim, Blanka Barbara, Plecta, Jim Rider, M.O.S. and more.

Manic Mind

Manic Mind '24 '#3 - (Progressive / Organic / Deep)

A recording of my set at Essence Club's Festival of Halloween in Ascot, Berkshire on the 2nd of November. I was in the Transylvanian Garden, the production from the Essence Club team was next level, can't believe the level of detail for a pop-up event in a field (go check my insta - Simonzwa.dj for some of the footage)

A huge thanks to Essence Club for including me in the line-up and a massive shout out to all those who joined me in the Transylvanian Garden, what an incredible vibe it was and an evening that I will never forget!
