Selects: DJ Manny

Selects: DJ Manny

DJ Manny might have been born in juke and footwork’s ancestral home of Chicago, but his sound echoes far outside the Midwest. Where his peers might make darker-sounding tracks strictly for battling on dance floors, Manny—who calls both Brooklyn and Chicago home—focuses not just on so-quick-they-make-you-trip beats but also melodies and sampling, taking in elements of house and techno, soul, hip-hop and R&B. It makes for an almost playful vibe that, like the title of his recent EP suggests, makes Feet Start Dancing. For Manny’s contribution to the Selects series—the playlist in which DJs and producers share their favourite tracks of the moment—he put together a set of tracks “based around Chicago footwork and juke, with a few artists outside of the city”, he tells Apple Music. “Get ready to move your feet and dance when you hit play.” Hear all his Selects and add any favourites to your library.
