Emerging as their first release on Manual Music, But U marks a striking introduction to the label's timeless electronic music legacy. Featuring Rana Iravani's smooth, sensual vocals over a warm, mystique-scented sonic landscape, the track channels the spirit of classic deep house with modern flair.

Born in San Francisco and raised in Dubai, Rana's global upbringing and training in drama at NYU infused her artistry with storytelling and emotional depth. As a DJ, producer, singer, and songwriter based in New York, she brings cinematic nuance and musical sophistication to every project.

Little is publicly known yet about Janne Johannes, making this debut all the more intriguing. Together, Janne and Rana deliver a collaboration steeped in mystery, a synergy of subtle vocal phrasing and atmospheric arrangement.

Musically, But U unfurls with catchy piano motifs and string‑shot chords that evoke both vintage emotion and dancefloor energy. It's a track equally suited to deep late‑night club sets as it is to immersive listening at home or on the road. With its lush textures, rhythmic drive, and evocative mood, it stands as a modern house gem that intrigues and captivates.

Listen to But U, the bold debut from Rana Iravani & Janne Johannes on Manual Music, blending soulful vocals, elegant melodies, and timeless deep house allure. A track poised to resonate across dancefloors and headphones alike.

Live recording! I had the pleasure of playing the midnight slot at the FnF Fall Freak Fest campout just outside Yosemite. Played some tech house bangers in a beautiful setting on a killer sound system (waveworks) and unreal visuals from Radiant Atmospheres. Bit techier than usual for me, but it's still got that kem signature sound and mxing.

Winter TAG Session w/ CaseyDC

My tastes vary, as well as my mixing styles. Sometimes deep and thoughtful - other times dirty funky and a bit raw. Frequency can heal and create change. Music and deep community are the way.  Love.
