DJ MANIC

.. MySpaceScripts Profile EditorNew York native, Michael aka DJ Manic’s passion for music and natural ability to DJ, began long before he was of legal age. As a young boy he was inspired to pursue the Music & DJ industry while hanging out at his uncle’s large entertainment company. As Michael grew older he was determined to take his DJ skills to the next level. Michael was so drawn to this Profession, the only place you could find him was analyzing music, mixing and refining his art.  It only took a few club appearances for him to earn his nickname-Manic.  The name Manic describes him well because of the way that he DJ’s – combining a unique blend of skill, ability to read the Dance floor and dynamically controlling the energy. His particular taste in music allows him to be diverse, exciting and on the cutting edge. In 1997 Manic took his career to the next level. He began producing and remixing music in his studio, which he has been creating and improving ever since.  To increase his skills, as well as give back to the community, in 2003 Manic started teaching part-time production at Boces Cultural Art Center.  Expanding his musical vision even further-he has now joined forces with Producer/Engineer/Composer Alan Scott Plotkin of Virgo Studios. Together, they have developed a state-of-the-art recording studio with cutting edge Equipment and a knowledgeable staff. Manic and Alan are currently producing, engineering and Re-mixing for a number of artists and record labels.  When it comes to the studio, Manic is Relentless-putting in many long days and nights-and loving every minute of it. As co-producer of the song “Never Ending” along with Ronnie Ventura feat. Latrice Verrett, it debuted at hot shot breakout 31 on the Billboard Dance charts. Ten weeks strong on the charts “Never Ending” climbed to 25.  Manic once again teaming up with  Ronnie Ventura co-produced, other hits “The Freaks” feat. Latrice Verrett and “Music Is Your Life” feat. Dana Devine both which were signed and release on Nuuf Music. Creating, crafting and refining his music everyday, is his drive and his pulse.  Manic still remains close to his performance roots by making regular cameos appearances at some of New York and Miami’s most prestigious clubs.
