Lemme Tell You Now

It's All For You

The Full-Time Hustle

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

Divvy Up is the long awaited debut single from Half Color, a powerhouse collaboration between PLM artists MIchal Menert and Paul Basic. The track swells with synth stabs and orchestral hits, stomping along through a booming corridor of percussion and texture, knocking over anything in it's way. 

Dream Season EP out Feb 5 on SuperBest Records!


Half Color - Divvy Up (Super Best Records)

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.

Vocals: Michal Menert

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!

Manic Menert - Whatever You Want [Free Download]

2/5 of a scrapped sample-free EP composed from 2010 to 2011. Through transferring/breaking laptops, losing files and drives, these flawed mixes have become the only remaining bits of an idea I wish was still alive. Enjoy!

Lost Pieces

Lead single from the upcoming Break Science & Michal Menert EP.

Electric Touch (co-produced by Break Science)

A song I composed while taking care of my father. Based upon the feeling of falling in love during a dream and waking up with an empty heart. All instruments and vox by me.
