Premiere: M A N I K - Black Butter 3rd Birthday Mix

London’s Black Butter Records, home to house renovators like Gorgon City and the d ‘n’ b-collides-with-classical mash-up that is Clean Bandit, turn 3 years old this summer. To celebrate, they’re hosting a knees-up at the Oval Space on Saturday, which will of course be headlined by dance-pop hit-makers Rudimental – who Black Butter helped to break – with Yasmin and garage hero DJ EZ also on the bill. Also making an appearance will be New York whizzkid M A N I K, who’s put together this mix to prep things for the weekend. It’s a stout reflection of the kind of pristine-but-punchy house the label has frequently championed – with label picks like Clean Bandit’s summery-smooth feature on Gorgon City’s _Intentions nestling alongside Lauer’s blossoming rework of Jee Day’s Sum Of Love, and the neat addition of Movement’s sleek pop smash Feel Real.
