Mangene

While known for their musical work in such musical juggernauts as Oxbow, BUNUEL and 16-17, they Eugene S. Robinson and Manuel Liebeskind have also worked with everybody from Barry Adamson to Peter Brötzmann, from Lydia Lunch to Marianne Faithfull, from Marian Gold to Jaki Liebezeit and Melt-Banana. Berlin’s MANGENE has taken a twisted international route through San Francisco, New York, and Switzerland on its way to being born. Chipping away layer by layer what they reveal is a DNA changing mélange of electronics and words.

Influences reach back to the early singer grands of Jazz and Rock’n roll, from Billie Holiday to little Richard to Screamin jay Hawkins, through contemporary classics from Ligeti to Stockhausen, to intense Synth punk and electronic noise legends Suicide, Chemical Brothers and the Prodigy. Add a pinch of 80ies Synth Pop and old School HipHop, think Fad Gadget meets Grandmaster Flash, and harvest a unique and timeless electronic analogue sound.

Expect music and a performance of maximum intensity, Mangene will make you sweat and dance.
