Born and raised in Paris in the early 90s, Manaré Coly’s early musical education spanned everything from Miles Davis to Warp Record’s legend Aphex Twin.
Manaré got into production at the young age of 14, thanks to his elder brother, started deejaying at 16 and it wasn’t long before he played his first show at Paris’ renowned Nouveau Casino.
After quickly establishing himself as one of the go-to DJs of underground club music in Paris he was put into contact with the ClekClek crew around 2009 through his long-time friend and fellow label artist French Fries. It wasn’t until 2012, however, that he dropped his critically acclaimed debut EP “Quartz/Down To Dis”.
Although for simplicity’s sake you might describe Manaré’s sound as Ghetto & UK influenced House & Bass; that really doesn’t pin him down. His eclectic musical origins certainly still inform his selection today, reflected in wide variety of places he has been asked to play; from Sao Paul to Singapore, Astana to New York.
With another EP out in Spring 2013 however, Manaré’s journey is really only just beginning.

Paris is back and it’s no longer pumping to the filtered sound of disco house. Instead, a ‘90s generation have come of age born into the shadow of Mathieu Kassovitz’s classic film, La Haine. A world of internal tensions cracking the ground for new shoots to appear from a vibrant street culture that’s en Seine in the membrane, raised as much on global bass and hiphop’s freakiest mutations as the distant orbit of Chicago and Detroit. You can hear it in the music of ClekClekBoom, the Paris-based label which began in 2007 as a website releasing baile funk from Rio’s favelas but now serves up its own home-grown ghetto grooves.

"Manaré treats his productions as any other stuff he's involved in, like the "Fresh Prince of Paris" that he is. Just one hearing of this new EP and you'll understand what Manaré has to say: a lot! "Quartz" is a deep technoid House groove full of rooted vibes, what some call organic sound, which will takes you on a journey to a future motherland. The filpside "Down To Dis" is a heavy bouncing 808 beat, lifted by colorful chords and that fat loaded bass so cherished by the ClekClekBoom fam. This 2 tracks number combines an impressive wide spectrum of club music... a head nod guaranty, any time any place, whatever mood you're in."
