Guy Mantzur unites all genres from tech to house, progressive to techno, with a melodic and storytelling sensibility. He's co-owner and A&R for Munich-based label Plattenbank and has apparently been in demand as a remixer and producer for labels like Bedrock Records and Moments.
Chicola is equally accomplished and influential as a long-time vinyl obsessive, globe-trotting DJ, and producer of sounds that draw on his pianist background and offer musical harmony.
The pair open with ‘Neon Bible,’ an ever-shifting cut built on subtle chord progressions and dubbed-out drums sprinkled with percussive touches. 'Galactica’ takes a more extroverted turn, its melodies and synth sequences weaving a tapestry. The drums stay weighty and elastic to ground the track while the atmosphere brims with hope.
'Neon Bible' is also reworked with an Extended Ambient Mix that lays bare the synth modulations, ever-shifting chords, and creative melodies.
Guy Mantzur & Chicola's 'Neon Bible' is out now on Last Night on Earth.
