His joyous new album for Planet Mu \u003ci\u003eSignals In My Head \u003c\/i\u003eis set to alter that for good. Manny's sound has widened out and taken on a more romantic edge. He openly admits that his goal for the new album was \"to do something that nobody (in Footwork) had ever done before which is an R\u0026amp;B love type of album. I just want people to know it's love out there.\" Tracks like \"U Want It\", \"Never Was Ah Hoe\" and the title cut \"Signals In My Head\" are strong standouts. DJ Manny has succeeded in moving himself forward. \u003ci\u003eSignals In My Head\u003c\/i\u003e brings us back to the joy of Footwork as a dance, as a mid-west American movement and most importantly as a mental and spiritual boost.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Planet Mu","offers":[{"title":"Pink | LP","offer_id":50469119983947,"sku":"1122062","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/a6a856aa-3a3c-4690-8aa5-203f95a0b627_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727356586"},{"product_id":"hypnotized-4","title":"Hypnotized","description":"\u003cp\u003eDJ Manny's new album 'Hypnotized' is full of fresh ideas which push the footwork format of 160bpm hyper-rhythmic music in really enjoyable new directions. He builds on the romantic themes of his last album 'Signals In My Head' and evolves them with shades of blue, taking very natural sounding experimentation into new moods and musical colour while never making the album inaccessible. Arguably this is a fine successor to the ground broken by DJ Rashad's 'Double Cup' album, which of course Manny also worked on. 'Hypnotized' solidifies Manny's style, from relaxed r'n'b rollers to moments of romantic distress - like 'WTF Goin On' and the reflective 'You N You (ft. DJ Phil)', to more intense moments like the dubstep inflected 'Ooh Baby' from the vaults, co-produced by DJ Rashad himself. Other tracks like 'Want U Bad' retool Robert Hood style minimal techno whereas dark, nervous belters like 'Turn Me Up' sound like Paul Johnson at his most wild but welded to footwork rhythms and a pumping jump up drum \u0026amp; bass-line. There are also moments of enjoyably hype daftness like the acid and diva head-fuck of 'Opera' or the old school Bukem style jungle homage 'Lost In Da Jungle'.
