MANNEQUINE, THE SWISS PRODUCER DUO COMPOSED OF RUBEN CASSIANO AND CLAUDIO SALVIA, DEFIES EASY CATEGORIZATION, YET THEY FIND THEIR TRUE RHYTHM WITHIN THE VIBRANT NU-DISCO REALM. WHILE THE GENRE MAY EVOKE A SENSE OF NOSTALGIA, THEY’VE REJUVENATED IT BY SEAMLESSLY BLENDING CLASSIC HOUSE PATTERNS WITH BRIGHT, UPLIFTING SOUNDS, LEAVING A LASTING IMPRINT ON THE MUSIC SCENE. THEIR ARTISTIC PATH HAS BEEN ILLUMINATED BY COLLABORATIONS WITH TALENTS LIKE JBAG, ANDY FAISCA, ZIGITROS, AND OTHERS, ALLOWING THEM TO CARVE OUT A QUIET BUT ASSURED PRESENCE ON THE GLOBAL STAGE. THEIR JOURNEY TOOK A DEFINING TURN WITH THE RELEASE OF THEIR DEBUT SINGLE, “BOMBAY NIGHT STORY,” UNDER THE REVERED ENGLISH LABEL CONTINENTAL RECORDS IN 2013. THIS TRACK, A COLLABORATION WITH THE SWISS HIP-HOP TRIO JAS CRW, QUICKLY GAINED TRACTION, WITH ITS MUSIC VIDEO PREMIERING ON VICE & THUMP. THE RELEASE NOT ONLY THRUST MANNEQUINE INTO THE LIMELIGHT BUT ALSO SECURED THEM SPOTS ON SPOTIFY’S COVETED EDITORIAL PLAYLISTS. AFTER NUMEROUS NIGHTS SPENT BEHIND THE DECKS AND MEMORABLE APPEARANCES AT EVENTS LIKE KITSUNÉ CLUB NIGHTS AND PARIS FASHION WEEK, MANNEQUINE IS NOW REFOCUSING ON THEIR PASSION FOR MUSIC PRODUCTION. THEIR LATEST REMIX, CRAFTED FOR BENJAMIN AMARU & SHELTER 12 IN DECEMBER 2020, CONTINUES TO REVERBERATE, EARNING THE DISTINCTION OF “SONG OF THE WEEK” ON SRF 3/VIRUS. YET, THEY REMAIN RESTLESS IN THEIR CREATIVITY, WITH NEW SINGLES ON THE HORIZON. AMONG THEM IS “DIVA,” FEATURING THE SOULFUL LORD LES.
