Tres Manos: Rare Downtempo set- Recorded at La Mesa - BCN

Around 10 minutes in is pretty funny..   This is the Off Sonar Party we did when we were still called Children Of The Drum (Luca Mauro, Dario Damerini, and Tres Manos).  The whole night was pretty solid musically and there are 3 other parts but this one keeps coming up because around 10 minutes in is when we had to explain that Dj Rolando is a dick and that because of his bad attitude he would not be DJing for us and that all his fee would be used to buy drinks for everyone inside the club, all night.  Good times!  You can read the whole story here. https://www.facebook.com/notes/tres-manos/why-we-told-dj-rolando-to-fuck-off/199810635536

Peace and please people.. Let's keep it real!  

or as the king himself said it.. 
“If you let your head get too big, it'll break your neck.” 
― Elvis Presley

Much love and respect,
Tres Manos

SECRET GAMES 
Lyrics written by Tres Manos
................................

I think I'm going crazy 
Never good with what I've got
(Always pondering)
And Instead of asking why,
I always ask why not

So I play my secret games 
With so many, so many different names

Love Needs Desire's Deception
I thought that I was happy 
But I guess I just forgot

**chorus 
Love Needs Desire's Deception
My Love Needs Desire's Deception
Love Needs Desire's Deception
Love Needs Desire's Deception

I must be going crazy
Can't see the difference 
Between what's wrong or right
(Always wandering)
I'm blind and in the gray 
There is no black or white

Guess I'll just play my secret games 
With so many, so many different names

Love Needs Desire's Deception
I thought that I was happy
Turns out that I'm not

**chorus
Love Needs Desire's Deception
Love Needs Desire's Deception
Love Needs Desire's Deception
Love Needs Desire's Deception

(Are you happy?)
(You ready to play my game?)
(Can you hear me?)
(Are you happy?)
(Help Me help me)
(I will not change!)

(Help me help me)

Why can't you see, babe
I'm beggin' for your help
I'm on my knees 
So please be the one who'll change me
And save me from myself

Or I'll just play more secret games 
with so many, so many different names

Love Needs Desire's Deception
I thought that I was happy 
Turns out that I'm not

Love Needs Desire's Deception
(Can you hear me?)
(I will not change!)
Love Needs Desire's Deception
(I will not change!)
Love Needs Desire's Deception
(Help me help me)
Love Needs Desire's Deception

(Are you happy?)

(Can you hear me?)
(Are you happy?)

(Help Me)
(I will not change!)

Tres Manos, also known as Your Only Friend and Jessica Saves, is a revered figure in the underground electronic music scene. With an illustrious 30-year career, he has been involved in almost every aspect of the dance music and nightclub industry.   
Originally a raver from Washington D.C., Tres Manos actually began his DJ career in 1992 in Denver, unknowingly setting the stage for a lifelong dedication to music. In 1998, he transplanted to the heart of Barcelona, Spain, where he took on a leadership role in the city's thriving Underground House and Techno scene. From owning one of the first underground record shops and organising some of the original Off-Sonar parties, “Radar” and “Soñar”, to building one of the first techno sound systems at Burning Man in 1996, Tres Manos has always been a pioneer in the global underground scene.
His sound, deeply personal and momentous, has not only marked his presence in renowned venues around the globe, but also secured him residencies in iconic events such as Davide Squillace's "This and That” and "Zoo Project" in Ibiza.
In addition to his remarkable DJ career, Tres Manos is a formidable producer, recognised for his distinctive and in-the-moment sound. He is a master of his craft, often lending his own vocals to his productions. His musical creations find homes on revered labels such as This and That, Om Records, Aesoteric, Cyclo, Detour, Loudeast, and SoundBlack. Furthermore, Tres Manos has established his own imprint, Your Only Friend Recordings, serving as a platform for esteemed artists like Rick Wade and Lady Blacktronika.
Tres Manos' enduring legacy is a testament to his unwavering commitment to the authentic underground sound. His timeless sets and productions resonate with a rich blend of old-school vibes and contemporary innovation, forging a profound connection with audiences around the world. As he continues to shape the global electronic music landscape, Tres Manos remains a symbol of uncompromising dedication to the underground ethos.
