* PROFILE:
Before to live a relaxed life in south of France - Obviously by the sea - Manuel Perez has done a few things:
Owner of Wrong Steps in Sweden, and more recently part of Marendadisc’s artist collective, Manuel Perez has been active in the modern dance music scene for several years as music producer and remixer. His reputation has also been built upon his very long and international DJ career.
Manuel began by the mid-eighties as resident DJ in the best clubs in south-west France and Catalonia. At the time he introduced early house and techno to a wider audience in that area, working for legendary clubs like Château de Fitou or Rachdingue. Further on he contributed to early rave events, often inviting MC’s and live musicians to perform in his sets.
Soon enough, his reputation expanded overseas and, for more than 20 years, Manuel has been Djing nearly all over and he has been billed next to the biggest names of the electronic music industry such as Dave Dorrel, Jazzy M, Derrick May, Rhythm Doctor, Soul 2 Soul, Underworld, System7, Paul Oakenfold, Dimitri, Eartha Kitt, Larry Heard, Bandulu, Alex Reece, The Aloof, Kid Creole, George Morel, Stonebridge, Luke Slater, Jori Hulkkonen, Joel Mull, Jesper Dahlbäck, Adam Beyer, Aqua Bassino, Paul Johnson, Robert Armani, Jon Marsh (The Beloved), Claude Monnet, Richard Dorfmeister, Erik Rug, Robert Hood, Aril Brikha, Ivan Smagghe, Steve Rachmad, Llorca, Marco Pasarani, Håkan Lidbo, Radio Bomb, Bob Sinclar, Jennifer Cardini, David Duriez, Patrick Pulsinger, to mention a few...
In 1993 he moved to Stockholm where he made new friends who pushed him to get more seriously involved in music production. As a result, his first important release was the "Strong Accents" single on Loop Records, recorded together with Alexi Delano and Cari Lekebusch. Healthy releases followed on labels like Plumphouse, Loop, G-Force and Step2House - as well as remixes for ie Warner and MNW - until he also had the opportunity to co found the label Svek before launching his Wrong Steps Productions studio and label project.
In 1996 he met French percussionist Philippe Monrose and they created Spiro Projecto, an electronic fusion act involving diverse international guest musicians and vocalists. Their mutual studio and stage experience has enabled them to create Spiro Concerto, a percussive live act delivering serious dance-floor action on an exotic tip. Long before world-lounge-electronic genre became trendy, some of their work was released via obscure 12" EP's and singles, and ended up later on many compilations like "Hotel Costes”, or labels like Yoshitoshi or Turbo. Many of their titles have also been remixed by artists - i.e. Raph Dumas, Jori Hulkkonen, YMC - or even The Beloved.
In 2003, Manuel decided to establish himself on the French Mediterranean coast, some kilometres north of Barcelona where he could eventually enjoy life in a peaceful environement, still DJing and producing, but also working as consultant for the local cultural institutions.
Always staying true to his vision of entertainment, Manuel has invested time and energy on studio activities, produced, mixed or mastered several albums for quite a few record companies. He also released collaborations with artist like Pawel Kobak, Fredrik Stark, Jesper Dahlbäck, Microman, Nico Bellotto, Alberto Vicente, Mourad Sliti, Ron de Cuba, Brice Bertran, Aqua Bassino, Martinez… On the remix list some relevant work has also been done for Brooklyn Funk Essentials, Martin Venetjoki, Håkan Lidbo, Dalminjo, MinimalBCN, Max Cherry, Ctrl+Alt+Supp, Uninvited Partners, Popcorn, The Delivery Boy, Tomm Jobb & Dj Janoz, Thérese Racket... More to come soon as well as a bunch of new projects.
