MANIK: My 10 Favorite Chicago House Cuts
The latest release on Steve Bug’s new Sublease label comes in the form of a pair of floor-primed acid cuts from MANIK, titled Tonight and available for streaming and purchase here.
“Tonight” works a raw acid line for over eight minutes, balancing it with dreamy pads and clattering snare rolls. It’s a little touch of ‘88 filtered through a contemporary lens.
“Unknown Acid” treads a similar path – stripped down to the absolute essentials – a tough 808 rhythm track meets a phat, primed 303 lead to cause maximum club devastation.
