Clear Mountain

A 3 track balearic / downtempo ep (23m 8s) — released June 9th 2017 on Fly By Night Music

Since 1998 Danny 'Dubble D' Ward's alter ego MoodyManc series of EPs have attracted huge attention from house music circles from Silicone Soul to Sebo K and Jesse Rose to Roger Sanchez.

Danny Ward AKA MoodyManc starts us off softly with the dream like 'Clear Mountain'. Soft piano triads grow ever closer before a low-slung boogie bass sets the groove. It's that lucid jazz trumpet that completes the scene…

Second in line we have the infectiously underground 'Message'. Fitted out from the start with bouncing toms and pulsing beeps and bleeps. A fully dubbed out vocal twists silken atop a chorus of stabbing chords and rushing synths, which may cause euphoria.

Cole Medina finishes the vinyl version of the EP with his rework of 'Clear Mountain', taking the jazz influences a few steps further and creates a full on slow motion prog - apocalyptic jam!

As a digital bonus, Danny slides up the tempo fader to max on 'Scrub', a full on percussive club pumper, with a bouncing low end, punctuated with syncopated synth stabs and one really grooving cowbell!
