House music means “Everything” to Manu. Explaining his true dedication to house music, he says; “My whole life is devoted to making, playing and finding the best house music I can, for me when I see a dancefloor reacting to my love of house music this is why I wake up in the morning and do everything I can to deliver the best possible music to any dancefloor.”

Asking what the house gangster movement meant to him, he says, “For me the house gangster vibe is all about authenticity and a real love of genuine house music, it’s obvious to me DJ sneak is looking for djs who are also heavily inspired by the true sound of house. Regardless of the genre trends in the end it all come back to real house music.” He describes the house gangster sound as “classic, underground house music.” Using words to describe it like ‘authentic’, ‘deep rooted’, and ‘timeless.’

Manu told us how he chose the tracks for this mix, he said, “When working in my studio I received the request to make this mix I instantly started to think about the content of the mix. having been a huge fan of DJ sneak for many years and loving his sound it wasn't difficult for me to do a little research and pull together the kind of mix that I truly believed sneak would love. I really believed in this mix and it’s so exciting for me to now hear that sneak does also.”
