Manaboo is a duo made up of Brendon Moeller and Shigeru Tanabu. These two friends first met in NY in 2003 and began jamming on music. Shigerus guitar antics can be heard on many a Beat Pharmacy track. It is their mutual love of jazz, dub and techno that is the insiration for this EP. great support by: doP, 3 Channels, Swag, Jay Shepheard, Perc, Thomas Schumacher, Glimpse, Xpress 2, Jeff Mills .....
Side A kicks off with the undeniably beautiful and catchy title track Unhuh. Lilting pads ebb & flow above the sound of crackling embers while the grooviest of grooviest disco beat delightfully carries one to a state of bliss. Utopia is kinda like snorkling through a coral reef where all sorts of little creatures bubble and squeek their way through the crevices and plants. On side B we start with Morpheen, a deep, jazzy, bitchin' brew that will work it's way into your cerebral cortex before you know it. Hypnotic and seductive. The EP is rounded off with a nod to John Coltrane that chugs along creating the perfect backdrop to the deeper side of the night. Overall, an enchanting and haunting EP that's perfect for vertical or horizontal dancing. Expect more from Manaboo in the not so distant future!
