OUTCAST LOVE 43 > MIGUEL MANZANO

Miguel Manzano AKA The Lowrida AKA The Hammer AKA Rassputen AKA Klaus Koppner AKA Bell End.

The man with many names has had many residencies in Manchester and has played all over Europe. Starting from an early age, his older brother showed him the ropes on the SL-1200's with loads of 80's Soul, hip hop, disco and funk breaks stuff. Also in the mix came the late 80's hip-house revolution and all the first Chicago Traxx & DJ International gear, the NY garage was also in the mix of course.

Not content with bedroom mixing, he started his own garage parties with his school mates, mainly to get smashed and play spin the bottle... But the music was always at the forefront, religiously listening in on the radio shows that were pushing weird new UK & US street sounds.

"Leaky Fresh and 808 State on Sunset 102, and Stu Allen on 103, were really pushing US and UK underground stuff. Break Dancing, Skate Boarding, Graff, NWA, Todd Terry, Carl Cox, Sasha & Nipper were all massive in the early year. I was well into it all, but then I went all dark with the Tech Step and Hardcore shit. That was when I started going to raves and that. I think that's why some of the darkness comes through in my music today, but it's only in parts now and I always roll out of it back into a groove, don't want people going under do we! It's always gotta have an element of something soulful or funk driven, even if it's a crazy drugged out acid track, it's got to have a groove and swing to it. I'm not really into that industrial 4/4 stuff really.

With this mix I decided to take it back to those days when it was just about playing records and doing some weird sounding stuff with them, it's not really what I play in clubs but more what I would play in smaller intimate venues and bars."

ELECTRIC ELEPHANT

Returning for a fourth bash in 2011, Electric Elephant moves from its late summer slot to mid-July, where it’s been expanded to a five-day, five-night event that blurs the boundaries between festival and holiday. Electric Elephant is the place for sun, sea, boat parties, DJs, live music and club nights on the beautiful Adriatic coast. Full line up here

This year’s festival is longer, better and earlier! Much more than just a festival, it’s a holiday adventure, an escape, a musical getaway, a meeting of like-minded souls that invokes the original spirit of the unspoilt Ibiza of the ‘70s and early ‘80s. Live love dance.

Petrcane itself is a village of good, kind people and evening markets and rustic restaurants serving fresh fish caught that day and olive oil fresh from the local groves. There are plenty of places to rest your head. Old cottages and villas on the sea front are available for hire and there’s even Camping in the woods. Sailing boats can chartered and explore the mystical islands. Stunning national parks, waterfalls and mountains are all a short distance away. The ancient coastal city of Zadar with unique Sea Organ, bustling winding streets and open squares, is only a short bus or taxi ride away.

OUTCAST LOVE 41 > MOODYMANC

Moodymanc has been causing quite a stir amongst the house community of late. Having previously released under the guise of Dubble D, Danny Ward now delivers house bombs as Moodymanc that are being championed by the premier league of DJ’s and music lovers. Previously Danny has worked with a wide range of artists including The Pharcyde, Rae and Christian, Ralph Lawson’s 20/20 Soundsystem and renowned jazz musicians like Gilad Atzmon and Jim Mullen.

His take on house music is deeply rooted in tradition having been into born into a life of jazz-drumming, crate diggin' and beat making via the night clubs, warehouses and basements of his soul loving, native Moody Manchester. Recent releases on labels like Tsuba, Third Ear, Dessous, and Connoisseur have meant Moodymanc’s tracks are being played by the likes of DJ’s Luciano and Claude VonStroke as well as being aired on Radio 1 by Derrick May.

Regular guest spots at clubs such as Fabric, Electric Chair and Studio B in Brooklyn serve to reinforce his presence on the international scene. Guesting alongside the likes of Ricardo Vilalobos, Francois K and DJ Sneak which means Moodymanc is up there with the best and his talents continue to blossom at every turn. Reading the crowd and building a groove is Moodymanc’s speciality which means his sets are always interesting, well timed and a spot on narrative of the best house music around.
