LOS Episode 268 "Summerslam Was Wrestlemania"

“Big Mani – I’m Back (Undertaker Tribute)” is more than a song – it’s a resurrection.
Massive church bells, dark organs, epic choirs, and a hip hop beat rolling like thunder. Inspired by the legendary entrance of The Undertaker, this track fuses gothic atmosphere with rap energy.

Big Mani rises from the shadows – scars on his heart, truth in his flow, and a mission:
to break the darkness and bring back the light.
A tribute to the Deadman, a symbol of strength, immortality, and return.

💀 NEMA ~ AMEN – I’m back.

NEMA ~ NI ~ IN ~ AMEN ~ BIG MANI ~ IM BACK ~ UNDERTAKER/MIB TRIBUTE

Let me share my journey with you. I started DJing at 16, playing school events in Sydney alongside my mate David. By the time I was 19, I had broken into the Sydney club scene, finally stepping into the career I had always dreamed of. From the very beginning, I was passionate about playing uplifting music—there's nothing worse than being in a club with a DJ who doesn't know how to get the crowd moving.

Over time, I made my way into the heart of Sydney’s nightlife. The 90s were the golden era for DJs—the energy was electric, the music was explosive, and the vibe was unforgettable. I had the privilege of being trained by some of the best and working with top talent in the city. That’s where I truly found my groove.

Honestly, I wish the magic of 90s music had never faded, but times changed. In the early 2000s, I hung up my headphones and turned to producing club tracks, especially since so many artists weren’t releasing proper club mixes. Still, I never stopped DJing—I just evolved and moved into a new realm.

AMEN ~ FOREVER is not just music – it’s a ritual.
Every track is a weapon of light, forged to break chains, purge darkness, and elevate the soul.
This is sound as exorcism, frequency as fire, rhythm as revelation.

No borders, no compromise – only truth, resonance, and eternal impact.
And more: a fusion of human spirit and artificial intelligence, a dance with AI where intuition and algorithm become one.
Sound becomes a living entity, shaped by heart and machine together.

If you feel the energy, support the movement:

Enter the vibration.
Je suis ~ NEMA ~ NEUNDLINGER MANUEL ~ AMEN.
