Manami is shifting gears, cranking up the low-end while steadfast in progressive eclecticism, unmatched dancefloor energy and community values to offer her most honest artistic expression yet through her productions, DJ and hybrid live sets.
Her musical voice has a striking clarity; a sound fusing breakbeat and 140bpm stylings, often edging into jungle and footwork territories, all doused in prog sensibilities. Raving to a Manami set is a rare pleasure, akin to experiencing an electric-charged cauldron full of bass heavy textures, vintage 140 wobbles and progressive house gliders amongst an abundance of other styles. It’s matched by an innate talent for dancefloor communality.
Having made a significant splash in Bristol and London over the past decade via a fierce reputation behind the decks, Manami now sets her sights on the next. Her forthcoming label and productions exhibit a sonic realignment, inspired by a revelatory introspection that has led to a liberatory opportunity of inner growth.
Known for her fluid shifts between techno, dubstep and off‑beat UK bass, Manami has become a fixture of the underground.
