About Me

Manni Montana - Electronic Musician, Composer, DJ, Producer and Soundartist. His underground electronic duo “BASK” having been a huge success in the 1990s. Manni Montana’s extravagant mixture of progressive club sounds, dub grooves and edgy electronics as well as his open mind towards any genre, steadily brings forth new and exciting music. Play lists of international star DJ’s regularly welcome his releases, relevant ‘in’ magazines like ‘De Bug’ or NME, Britain’s ‘biggest selling and most respected music weekly in the world’ (self assessment), are dedicating well disposed reviews to Manni Montana’s work. Airplay worldwide, e. g. Kid Loco plays "Walking Jazzman" on Coldcut’s ‘Solid Steel Radio show’. (Alan Brown / Soul Seduction)
