    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Manni Dee is internationally recognised as a producer of blistering techno, however there is more to Manni Dee than his sprawling discography of searing sounds. Today he's a multidisciplinary artist working across music, film and fashion. Manni’s open-minded approach remains the root of his creative process. Working from opposite ends of the electronic spectrum adds another layer to Manni’s leading-edge practice, demonstrated in his co-production work for rock outfit The Horrors, and his long-term co-writer relationship with Daniel Avery. Both Manni and Daniel co-produced Resident Advisor’s film ‘VOID - One Year Of Silence’ and contributed a track to Alexander McQueen’s Spring/Summer 2022 show. Based in London, Manni is an in-demand artist beyond the UK. Curating his event series Silk + Steel at FOLD, the party is a platform to elevate genre-defying artists, and to support a diverse resonance that is strongly needed to push UK dance culture forward. Industrial-strength releases on Perc Trax, Possession, S.L.A.M. and his debut album ‘The Residue’ on Tresor propelled Manni’s profile internationally, in tandem with an ongoing residency at London’s Rinse FM. Remixes for Daniel Avery, Sleaford Mods, The Horrors and Louisahhh built his back catalogue, and tours spanning North & South America, Asia and Europe dominated his diary. Looking forward, Manni is demonstrating his ability to synthesise disparate sounds, as heard in his Friday Night Guest mix for Mary Anne Hobbs on BBC Radio 6 Music, and in fiery mixes for Dekmantel, DJ Mag. Cultivating a sound and vision that shows no boundaries, Manni Dee is striking out from preconceived notions of who he is as an artist, and is leaving a definitive stamp in the fields of electronic music, art and fashion.
    Their RA profile lists Tresor, Perc Trax, Earwiggle, Black Sun Records and 6 more.

    the whole biography
    Ma Sha is a New York-based producer and DJ who has been active in the scene since 2017 when she co-founded event series - now a NYC staple - Kindergarten. Since then, she established a radio show which alongside the local Kindergarten crew, holds a monthly residency on The Lot Radio, as well as a record label that has won “Best Breakthrough Label” at the 2022 DJ Mag North America Awards. Focusing on cosmic club workouts with wigged-out rhythmic structures, the label “has become an essential outpost for hard-to-define, easy-to-dance-to club music in just two short years” [DJ Mag]; presenting “twisty, rowdy and unpredictable club music rooted in techno from both sides of the Atlantic” [Resident Advisor]. Apart from running Kindergarten Records, Ma Sha is currently focusing on her solo productions to present her take on experimental high-voltage dance music with a debut release coming out soon. However, Ma Sha is not a novice within the realm of production; as she has been active as half of the band Sha Ru who have been on the radar since their debut EP on Sorry Records in 2019, followed by releases on Infinite Machine, Pressure Dome, Progressive Future, Shubzin, Inveterate and of course, Kindergarten Records. Besides running the label, producing and performing domestically and internationally, Ma Sha is also a co-founder of Hone.Social, a free DJing workshop initiative providing a place to learn and practice within a casual and supportive environment.
