“Some artists are pigeonholed as being into just one thing, but not Chris…”
New York City born and bred, M A N I K is a producer DJ that breathes Electronic Dance Music and simply put, is here to stay for a long time.
Graduating from school in 2007 with a degree in Music Business, he is not by any means your typical artist. Upcoming material in 2010 and 2011 will see him release on some of the best underground electronic labels like his debut release on Josh Wink’s Ovum, followed by 3 track ep’s on both highly revered U.K imprint Four:Twenty and Chicago’s very own Fresh Meat, plus more material being released on Poker Flat, Culprit, Komplex De Deep and his highly anticipated debut album in 2011 which will set the bar for albums very high…
Pumping out music 24/7 at his infamous “I’m Nice Like That Studios” in Queens, NYC, his tracks are regularly supported by Josh Wink, Steve Bug, Jimpster, Gregor Tresher, Milton Jackson, Laurent Garnier, Shur-i-Kan, Tedd Patterson, Davide Squillace, Luca Bacchetti, Jim Rivers, Mazi, Droog plus many more.
Both 2010 and 2011 are promising to be groundbreaking years that will see M A N I K the name, and Chris the artist, set his mark as a true innovator in the dance music scene. 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 it’s own.
This driven 24 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.
