The Burning Ear about Manu El Chino – Lumos : « Manu El Chino has already impressed with his stellar remix work and now the guy is dropping originals and I’m loving what I’m hearing. “Lumos” is a twitchy groove-noodler that swells and swerves as it builds. The perfect kind of instrumental electronic jam to get me pumped for an evening of city lights. »

Surviving the Golden Age about Usher, Diplo & Daft Punk – Climax vs Human After All (Manu El Chino Bootleg) : « DJs try to get so fancy with their mashups that a lot of them end up sounding crowded and over packed. Sometimes a simple one-on-one mashup can be magical. Take Manu El Chino‘s new mashup that mixes Usher‘s “Climax” with Daft Punk‘s “Human After All.” The simple blend of the two tracks sounds great and is still as danceable and fun as any complex mashup. »

Acidted about Manu El Chino – Heady Noise EP : « The original mix of Heady Noise is aimed squarely at the Main Room, with its uplifting beats and gets too close to trance at times for my tastes. The track is also remixed by French producer MiLF, who gives it a darker sheen that works a lot better. Sickcom has a classic progressive house feel in its slow build up and uplifting chords. Rather pleasant. »

Acidted about Alex Metric – End Of The World (Manu El Chino Remix) : « Surviving The Golden Age describes it as having an old school house feel. This certainly applies to the vocal and the house piano. But it never quite has that positivity that you really want, the electro house flavours of today still come through. Nevertheless, less full-on that you might otherwise expect and unlikely to be successful in the competition as a result. A slow one for late night snogging and download. »
