Newtype Rhythms returns with a packed episode of high-energy decadence, with this week’s guest mix coming from UK rave specialist Mani Festo.
Between releasing for the likes of Beat Machine, Rupture London, Swamp 81 and the indelible Warehouse Rave imprints, he also co-runs the Club Glow label alongside powerhouse peers such as Borai, Denham Audio and LMajor (who get bountiful attention in this episode) – highlighting the sounds of raves long-gone whilst carrying the torch for a sonic legacy that’s going strong almost three decades later.
With his latest release on E-Beamz, Mani Festo flexes his production muscles by channeling his trademark rave intangibles with tracks that take forms within the sonic realms of electro and techno, and does it masterfully.
Mani Festo has a knack for finding ways to surprise you after each listen, and he does the same with this kinetic mix for our sister series. Be prepared for a mix full of modern-era rave gems, dubs and surprises. His mix starts at 46 minutes in, with resident Sheepshead setting the tempo per usual.
