Mane2Mane is the debut album by Mane Mane, and we’ve been listening to it a lot.

For the unfamiliar, Mane Mane represents the production duo of C Powers and heRobust; both hail from Atlanta but Powers is now based in London. Mane2Mane draws from the influences of  their home country – both Southern hip-hop and the “lens flare funk” of Los Angeles are referenced here – but also looks to contemporary UK dance music for inspiration, resulting in a healthy balance between all sorts of shit we love. We’re really into it, basically.

Brooklyn label Triple You Tapes will be releasing the record, on C-54 cassette tape with full color inserts. matthewdavid is on mastering; artwork by Justin Swinburne. For a taste of what to expect, you can download ‘Skin Fox’ here.
