Manni Dee lands on fabric Originals with a new four-track collaborative EP Boundless set for release on 12th January 2024.
Acclaimed producer, DJ and multi-disciplinary artist Manni Dee prepares to unleash his latest EP 'Boundless' on the newly launched and already highly-regarded fabric Originals label. The four-track project includes collaborations and vocals from Manuka Honey and Grove and is a testament to the British-Asian artist’s dynamic and ever-evolving approach to production. ‘Boundless’ showcases the versatility and growth of an artist whose talents span a spectrum of genres, as he enters exciting new club music territory on fabric Originals.
Manni Dee joins the Originals imprint following a busy period and a string of successful projects. From performing at the Boiler Room World Series in Mumbai and Bangalore – marking his first visit to his native country – to a flurry of collaborations with Ivy Lab, Akiko Haruna, River Moon, Daniel Avery and Bodur .
This EP, along with a catalog of recent work, flexes his respect for a variety of influences, from hip-hop – one of Manni’s first musical loves – along with pop, R&B and dubby UK sounds. Just like his influences – “My cultural references are broad’ – the people he surrounds himself with, are wide-ranging too. Since moving to London, Manni met most of his closest friends through the London and UK club community that he now calls home. “The best people I've ever met are through clubs and club culture," reflects Manni. People, collaborations, and crowds drive Manni creatively, and on ‘Boundless’ it shows.
