about

Manix & Able8 proudly unleash 'Straitjackets For The Uninspired’, a six-track EP that was gradually conspired between years of projects together, pieced together like a complex jigsaw puzzle.

Video & EP links: fanlink.tv/StraitjacketsEP

Within this release, Manix skillfully intertwines lyrics that are infused with undertones of self-deprecation and sarcasm, painting a narrative that explores the shadowy realms of mental health struggles and addiction. Each verse flows seamlessly to accompany the tones set by Producer Able8, who's compositions bring haunting soundscapes of thickly stacked synths and thumping drums, over saturated analogue bass lines.

'Straitjackets For The Uninspired' also showcases the lush voice of Selki on ‘Losing Sleep, razer sharp flows from Joe Snow on 'Bad Karma', rustic vocal backups from Elf Tranzporter on 'Winter', plus co-productions from Phillip Drummond, NonEntity and Mr.Richards.
