It’s strange to think that it was only 2010 that saw the first records from Christopher Manik, aka M A N I K. Since exploding onto the scene with his debut Ovum release he has gone on to develop and strengthen his own sounds & styles. The young New Yorker has confidently and creatively placed his music on a variety of the hottest labels of today, while always managing to maintain his own unique identity.

Today he returns to Ovum with an ode to his beloved former studio, ‘Im Nice Like That’, and presents a trio of new cuts, two of which were the very last productions to come out of his musical bunker. “The title track “I Got Us” is sort of a love song trapped inside a sleazier beat,” says Chris, as he also owns up to having provided the vocals on the track.

“Amber Knife” comes heavy with its FM bass and 303 action before “Weekend Is 4 Lovers” rounds out the ep. “That was actually the last ever track that i wrote in the studio. I wrote the lyrics and sang on this again too. Its a song about falling for a girl whilst on a weekend away…” A fitting final hurrah for the studio and yet another impressive release from both M A N I K and Ovum recordings.

 Ralph Lawson – “This is a GREAT release! Really feeling the whole EP. Maximum support from me.”

Jimpster – “The sound of now with all those big old fruity basslines! I like all three tracks. Nice one!”

Laura Jones – “GREAT work again from Chris. Great EP! Playing!”

Jaymo – (BBC Radio 1) – “MANIK keeps on killing it! LOVE I Got Us.”

Daniel (Trickski) – “MANIK is always dope!! Love Amber Knife! Thanks for sending guys!”

Justin Martin – “I am in LOVE with Amber Knife!! Great track Chris! J”

Nico Lahs – “Great release as always! “Amber Knife” is the one for me! Ovum and Chris are definitely on fire. Big UP!”

Deetron – “I Got Us sounds perfect for the upcoming season!! Lush and bright!”

Gregor Tresher is back with his latest release marking the third and possibly final in his ‘Days’ series, with “For Many Days To Come” following 2010′s “95 Days” and of course last years “As Days Go By.” The lead cut here is a teasing little jitterbug with a skittish groove and delicate piano riff, whilst on the flip “Throwing Faces” is tasty little firecracker. Gregor has delivered yet another heavyweight release for us here at Ovum and following up Luca Bacchetti’s sun-soaked “On The Moon” EP, we are now set and ready for the Florida sunshine… Lets roll!

Luca Bacchetti – “Crazy release!!!! I love both tracks! I love the jazzy mood in “For Many Years To Come” and frantic rhythm of “Throwing Faces”. Two more beautiful tracks who will join my set.”

Anja Schneider – “Great release yet again from Gregor and Ovum! Will play both!”

Tom Findlay – (Groove Armada) – “I love For Many Days To Come. Got a great roll to it.”

David Squillace – “Ovum Ovum Ovum… nothing more to add!! Always great!”

Its been a summer of glorious House Music for Ovum Recordings, but those of you more tempted by the darker arts will be happy to find that label chief Josh Wink has chosen to heat up our winter months with a return to Techno with a label debut from Portugal’s, Steve Parker. Having been throughly road-tested by Mr Wink, the “Escuro” EP provides the perfect example of Parker’s talent. Lead cut “Inerstate” is a moody relentless number. Always teetering on the edge of boiling point. “Bodytrade” sees things bubble over. A romping heads-down groove. The title track “Escuro” returns the calm with its wonderful warm depth. Be Sure to get your copy of Steve Parker’s new Escuro EP out now on Ovum!

Raido Plays from John Digweed and Carl Cox
Great Feedback from: Joris Voorn, Kaiserdisco,  David Squillace, Gregor Tresher, Shlomi Aber, KiNK, Basti,  Anja Schneider , and many more!
