Following a collaborative release on Sherelle and Naina’s Hooversound Recordings and EPs on Sneaker Social Club, WNCL Recordings and his own Club Glow (ran alongside Denham Audio, LMajor and Borai), contemporary UK breaksmith Mani Festo readies four typically lairy cuts of gun-finger, rush-in-the-rave energy. 

Mani Festo has become something of a breakbeat assassin in recent years with a deserved spotlight being shone on the producer as one of the brightest artists to emerge from within the dark ‘n’ dutty UK breaks and electro scene. What you see is what you get from Mani Festo; what you’re getting is a screwface and a smacked jaw. 

‘Leviathan’ kicks things off with its stripped-back, grime-like textures - distorted kicks, frantic claps and growls from the belly of the beast blend on a minimal-breaks sequence that packs quite a punch despite its uncluttered soundwaves. ‘Tethys’ follows in a similar vein; distorted screams come from a brass-creature deep in the darkness, scattered percussion and step-tipped production blur the lines between garage, breaks and electro.

Large wubs and basslines guide the listener front left (just make sure you’ve got your protective earplugs in!) on ‘Night Drive’ before ‘With U’ strays down an emotional and introspective route with its otherworldly atmospherics, jungle tones and contemplative stillness - a creative combining of both heaven and hell.

FINAL WAVE

Deep Down

In this installment of S3, we're proud to present MAETHESA & their track; 'an angel'

BUY/DL (name yr own price): https://scumtapes.bandcamp.com/track/an-angel?

 Having only been around for a short amount of time (from what we could find), they already amassed quite an impressive output. MAETHESA has been exploring the intricacies jungle & rave music. With more of a focus on hardcore breakbeat & oldskool jungle Tekno in their recent output. Characterized by blazing break chopping, rugged basslines with acidic hints & dreamy ethereal padwork. 

With their entry titled 'an angel', MAETHESA continues to explore down the path further of the oldskool jungle rave sound, presenting a groovy and highly addictive slugger of a track thats sure to impress. While by all means things are only getting started, they have left an amazing first impression dead out of the gate. and we are more than happy to accomodate such a killer song and artist.

We'd highly advise you to go and check out MAETHESA's output as well! you will not be disappointed.

The response on this edit has been huge! All credit to the massive original offcourse, but I was quite happy when B Traits opened her Radio 1 show with this edit, Kito repped it in one of her guestmixes, and I've been told Addison Groove opened one of his sets with it too!
