Latest tracks by M A N I K
New York City born and bred, M A N I K is the latest talent to roll off the big apple’s endless conveyor of talent. His mature production style and ear for quality music, mark him out as a talent that is here to stay. Graduating from school with a degree in Music Business, he is not by any means your typical artist. M A N I K is quietly going about attracting more and more attention on himself and his home city of New York.

Despite releasing music for little over a year, record after record is continuously hitting the spot, most recently his release on Poker Flat, which follows tracks on Ovum, Culprit, Hideout and Komplex De Deep in 2010. Later in 2011, M A N I K will see the light of day on Lee Foss & Jamie Jones’ new label Hot Creations . The “McLovin’ You EP”, on the impressive L.A based Culprit, was played by everyone, while his ‘Keep That Fresh EP’ released on Ovum, cut up plenty of charts, further cementing his ability as a real musician, and making sure the ‘Hot To Watch 2011′ selection DJ Mag gave him in January 2011, was indeed the truth.

The highly anticipated debut Album, which is being released on Ovum Recordings, will showcase his “outside the box-house inspired vision” of electronic music- because M A N I K doesn’t just make dance tracks- he tells stories. The LP caps an exceptional and memorable past twelve months for the Queens native, who now finds himself as one the hottest breakthrough talents in electronic music. Whilst some artists are pigeonholed into purely one genre only, M A N I K prides himself on being heavily inspired by a diverse and comprehensive musical background by growing up on a diet of hip hop, funk, r&b, film scores, and plenty of synth based music.

From London to L.A, Berlin to Barcelona, his music is being championed as unique, fresh, and forward thinking. Being described as one of the “most focused, humble, & active musicians around in Electronic Dance Music today”, the M A N I K style has quickly evolved into a class of its own. His music is regularly supported by Josh Wink, Steve Bug, Lee Foss, Anja Schneider, Droog, Luca Bacchetti, and so many more. This driven 25 year old is one of the leaders for the next generation of multi-genre artists, as well as being one of the top cutting edge electronic musicians hailing from the U.S
