Belgian musical virtuoso Adriaan Baussens aka Manu Riga returns once more to the realm of Bonzai Progressive with a fresh and captivating creation titled ‘Keep Rising’. Manu Riga continues to mesmerize his audience with his boundless imagination and exceptional artistry within the studio. With a remarkable catalogue of original compositions and remixes spanning various genres, he caters to a wide spectrum of listeners. His touch is undeniable; every endeavour he embarks upon transforms into a golden masterpiece, a fact attested by years of global acclaim. His mastery behind the turntables, where he curates sets adorned with the choicest grooves, takes those lucky enough to be in his presence on a sublime journey. Without a doubt, Manu Riga is a genius of our time.

‘Keep Rising’ opens the release and in true Manu Riga fashion we find ourselves locked on from the first few bars. Rhythmically charged, the groove carries an infectious pulsating cadence which is enhanced with cascading arps and soft voices. On the break, various arpeggios are woven together to create a rich tapestry of sound that captivates before the final act. Deep and melodic and the perfect fodder for those journey-led sets. Concluding the release, ‘Retrospective’ sets course on a much groovier path with a deep subby bassline at its core. Again, we witness Manu Riga’s beat-making prowess as the drums invite us onto the dancefloor. Cool vocals add a little clubby spice while staccato piano chords bring out the full nostalgic vibe. Superb stuff that will not disappoint.
