after his 2013 ep *blunt run* as mgun, detroit based producer manuel gonzales is back on berceuse heroique with *full frontal*. b-side track *blowout* is a collaboration with ramon ramirez.

next up on the wicked bass label is newly emergent detroit talent manuel gonzales, aka mgun.

wild oats music proudly presents manuel gonzales mgun 01. manuel gonzales is a young producer from southwest detroit that has already toured europe with ur and has released with kyle hall as nsnt prjct. now, manuel offers his first solo release in the form of mgun01. this 12 inch is one that is full of raw texture, soul, and honest feeling.

detroit native mgun aka manuel gonzales returns from a two year break from releasing to unveil his debut lp for don t be afraid. marking the uk-based labels first artist album (dbalp001), gentium follows a string of highly acclaimed releases on labels also including the trilogy tapes, wild oats, third ear, bakk, berceuse heroique and fit.

the third in a row of split releases by the hague based bakk records is answered by mgun (manuel gonzales) and halvtrak. detroit local mgun already proved to be one of the more talented new producers and this time delivers a true trunk full of funk. the laser sword synths whip through the big space of the roomy kicks and the snare hits the nail on the head, a guaranteed floor filler. crossing the atlantic towards finland / helsinki, halvtrak shares a journey into his forming yet already signature sound. a smooth sailing analog track with trippy acid sounds - a perfect fit for both those during peak time as the early morning racers. sleeve and label are screen printed and 50 copies come with additional screen printed artwork by mgun.

third ear drops five cuts from mgun (manuel gonzales). harsh and abrasive, aching and reflective by turns, the grainy sound of this music creates an aura all its own as the sounds resonate and reverberate against each other in deliberately unpredictable ways

scorcher! brilliant, brimful and prodigal twenty-minute ep from manuel gonzales in detroit (following up collaborations with kyle hall). deadly sick, ambient and stepping by turns. highly recommended.

mgun is the pseudonym of rising detroit star manuel gonzales. since collaborating with kyle hall as nsnt prjct in 2010, gonzales has developed a uniquely lo-fi sound all of his own, a sound first showcased on his debut solo release which appeared in 2012 on the wild oats imprint. his first release for don’t be afraid will hit stores in october 2012 and is bound to spin heads, demonstrating as it does his particular avant garde take on modern techno, not least the game changing ‘gas chamber’ cut which, at 138 bpm, sounds as at home in bow e3 london as it does in his native detroit.
