Premiere : Michele Manzo - Jam 4 AM (MB001)

2023-11-29 Live At 5 Years Of Mister Bear (Michele Manzo)

Intro - live @ Biko

For the 78th installment in our Just For The Night series, selectors take you on their own journey through groove. Anything goes.

Next up, benvenuto Michele Manzo 👋 hailing from Northern Italy, he came to our attention with his latest release Ninos del Mar on Detroit label Dirt Tech Reck @dirt-tech-reck. With an extensive discography & prestigious international experience across the US and Europe, Michele has sculpted his unique style within the house and electronic music scene.

With a solid international career behind him as a guitarist and bassist in the jazz, soul and funk scene, Manzo has developed a unique approach to music production, merging organic and electronic sounds seamlessly. He's worked with legends including Omar Lye-Fook, Steve Spacek, Harvey Sutherland, Georgia Anne Muldrow, Waajeed, Illa J & Frank Nitt (Yancey Boys) & J-LIVE.

He's also collaborated with iconic labels we love, including Berlin-based Sonar Kollektiv @sonar-kollektiv, BBE Records @bbemusic (UK), Fuzzoscope @fuzzoscope (Los Angeles), Darker Than Wax and Soulfuric @soulfuricrecordings (Miami, USA).

He's delivered a dreamily percussive, soulful house mix - let music set you free! 💣

Grazie mille @michelemanzo 🙏

While jazz and funk are at the core of @michelemanzo 's musical foundation, the Italian artist deftly draws upon his inspirations in hip-hop, dub, and Brazilian music as both an instrumentalist and producer. But above genres, inimitable grooves are the key driver of his work, and in his grooves one can hear the vibe of a moment being captured and perpetuated for eternity. With this combination of musical depth and raw feeling, it is no surprise Michele has crossed paths with Darker Than Wax, and we feel truly blessed to present his LP ‘ALL RISE’ to the world.

‘ALL RISE’ is a genuine reflection of Manzo’s art form, which sees so many different styles and influences coming together in the most natural, organic way. Everything was recorded live using bass, synth bass, guitar, old analogue keyboards, blended together with modern synths, dub delays and ambient fx - giving off the familiar warmth of boom bap and progressive stimulation of neo-soul. The pervasive harmonies and clever use of chords give the album a real musical depth, but grounded with an effortless, natural approach to creation.


More than just showcasing Michele’s musical prowess and mastery of the instrumental, ‘ALL RISE’ is also a deeply collaborative effort. The chemistry with heavyweight collaborators like Georgia Anne Muldrow, Dudley Perkins, Nicholas Ryan Gant and RayClev is incredible - they
compliment his instrumental tapestry with poetic ammo, elevating “ALL RISE” to a level of virtuous artistry.

The five vocal cuts also offer a sober reflection on the turbulent social climate of 2019 America, and the world at large. Police violence, racism, and growing divisions that dominate the current zeitgeist are examined front and centre, most prominently by Dudley Perkins on the title track. Yet despite such a worrying state of affairs, there is an underlying message of positivity triumphing, and a rallying call to destroy evil at its root rather than be consumed by it. ‘ALL RISE’ is about people standing up and uniting, being brought together by a common spirit and emotional music.
