MANI FESTO - All Night EP [12" Vinyl EP - CLUB GLOW]



A1 - All Night
A2 - Trackside
B1 - Cheatin
B2 - Tell Me Why


CLUB GLOW Records strike back and fight corona with their new limited weapon of choice! This time's the label premieres on vinylized releases with a resident established member, dj/producer and artwork aficionado, the man like Mani Festo from Brighton.

We're dealing with an imperative new release, highly expected from the fans for many years as these tunes used to be played out since 2015. It's a 4-track melting pot of influences such as UK Garage, Trip Hop and Dubstep from the man like Mani Festo, who's pleased to unleash his debut record over this mighty collective.


"A1, The title track 'All Night' was written back in 2015 and was on regular rotation at Swamp 81 parties at the time. A staple in the sets of Dj's such as Loefah, Orson and Youngsta it has remained an elusive dubplate until now!

'Trackside' is a continuation of the previous track. A gritty FWD style roller that features samples describing all-nighters painting trains. This is a subtle nod to a miss-spent youth sneaking out and painting Graffiti.

On the flipside 'Cheatin' is yet another unreleased dubplate from the same era as 'All Night'. This caused serious damage on dancefloors as a dub, check out this recording of Loefah and Chunky in Birmingham in 2016 - soundcloud.com/mani_festo/cheatin-loefah-live-in-birmingham-w-chunky - Need we say any more?

B2 slows the tempo down for street beat style breakbeat riddim 'Tell Me Why'. This one nods back to the sounds coming out of Bristol in the late 80's and early 90's. A perfect way to round off the release."


This record is limited by 300 copies only, most of these are available through Bandcamp and just a few on selected physical shops. Don't forget that on Friday 3rd of July, Bandcamp are waiving their fees again to support the artists, the labels, the good creativity that's working hard during this weird year.

A record that's a dark futuristic clubbing weapon to save in your soul, holding it tight till your return to the nightlife.
Vibes all around through it... 
And... All night.
