Embark on a compelling story as we welcome Manny on the Daniel Leese Podcast. Born in Ghana, Manny's early years were marked by adversity. Moving to the UK, he found himself in a new family dynamic, discovering both football prowess and academic potential amidst the challenges.

Manny's journey unfolds from the vibrant landscapes of Ghana to the complex  life in the UK. With a new family, including a stepdad and sibling, he navigates the trials of adapting to a foreign land.

Unveiling his talent in football, Manny faced the difference of being from an African household, where education was prioritized. A supportive teacher recognized his potential, providing the catalyst for a life-changing opportunity.

Scouted by Crystal Palace Guards, Manny's football journey reached new heights with a move to Chelsea. Yet, despite his successes, an undercurrent of struggle led him on a tumultuous path in the footballing world.

Amidst the challenges, depression cast a shadow, leading Manny to contemplate ending his life. Fate intervened, and his story took an unexpected turn. Transitioning to a career in sales, the journey didn't stop there.

Join us in unraveling Manny's remarkable journey—his triumphs, struggles, and the resilient spirit that propels him forward. This is a tale of resilience, determination, and the pursuit of purpose that you won't want to miss.

Born from Jamie Jones’ iconic event series, 2023 has seen Paradise evolve into a go-to destination for top-tier productions featuring artists like Jay De Lys, Mikey V and Gruuve. Now, in a first-time collaboration, Sicilians Cristian Viviano and Baglione, who have been garnering growing recognition through standout releases on Hottrax and CUFF, bring forth an irresistible house cut 'Somebody', complemented by a mega remix from the Hot Creations favourite, Manda Moor. 

The groove of ‘Somebody' reveals funky guitar riffs, catchy rap vocals, and house-infused shimmering chimes, building into a head-bopping bouncer perfectly crafted for big moments. Manda Moor then takes charge with playful, heavy-hitting drums loaded with swing and lively melodies for a fun-loving, feel-good anthem.

Brazil is in da house once again! Reecords' 50th milestone release comes from emerging Florianopolis-based rising talent Marian (DPE, Organic Pieces), who makes his label debut with 'Acid Travel' EP. As expected, the lead track takes us on a journey of acid-infused rhythms, squelchy sequences and swirly psychedelic vocals. Next up, 'Badei' offers skipping grooves and full-bodied basslines, all within a laidback funky mood. Games closing are entrusted to 'Rise n Top' - a collaboration with fellow Brazilian wunderkind BAPP (Mood Child, Black Label Recs) - which radiates pure percussive and bouncy flavours, providing a quality and classy option for all hours of the night.

UK based DJ/producer duo, Dunmore Brothers, make their debut on Kaluki Musik this March with their brand new, ‘Jack Me’ EP. The duo compromised of brothers Lucas and Louie, sons of Defected founder Simon Dunmore, have already turned heads with DJ sets that demonstrate their skills as selectors, while striving to produce records with a range of style and flare. Their debut release ‘Step Closer’ landed on Riva Starr’s Snatch Records, which quickly demonstrated the deep, techy, energetic direction the boys live and breathe. They followed up with their second release ‘Obsessed’, coming on Nic Fanciulli’s Saved Records. This has led to the boy’s increasing momentum, playing the likes of Printworks and Warehouse Project in the UK as well as festivals in both London and Croatia and Ants and Hï Ibiza over the summer. This dynamic duo brings their unique blend of fresh Tech House beats to the label making them ones to watch in 2024!
