Manus Malone is a Clare man who has been living in Dublin for the last four years putting on club nights and the like.
While clubs can’t happen at the moment, Manus did get the opportunity to develop and test his own dance music in the clubs of Dublin in recent years, along with performances at the Hazel Wood Stage at Electric Picnic.
Buyoed by Ireland’s excellent standing in electronic music in recent years, Manus’ debut four track EP Gradual Movements drops tomorrow officially.
The productions here sway between the Bicep-esque tension and release of the title track, the synth stab body music of ‘Higher’, the house pads of ‘Hey! It’s Me’ and the acid workout of ‘Back It Up’.
