about

Detached Audio boss Manu brings us his long-awaited debut solo release, the Evolve or Die EP: 8 tracks in which Manu has developed his production further by trying unconventional sample methods to truly make his sound unique.

The EP kicks off with 'What's Next', a slice of dark, minimal Drum & Bass. Eerie synths and atmospheric synths are countered with warm pads to create a track which constantly evolves throughout its length. Tracks such as 'Chronic Pessimism', 'Unknown' and 'Disconnect' take the ideas from the first track and extend them further; it is clear that Manu has thought about these tracks as joining pieces of a whole project while also making sure the tracks stand on their own merit.

'Objective' changes the vibe while staying consistent. While still a dark and minimal track, this is more akin to old school hip hop than it would be Drum & Bass, showing that Manu can easily show off his sound in numerous styles. Final track 'The End' shows off Manu's ability to make a halftime track, with deep pads enveloping the track.
