MANI FESTO - Hold The Line EP (USED VG+ / SLEEVE NM) Be Free Edition

MANI FESTO - Hold The Line EP (USED VG+ / SLEEVE NM) Be Free EditionFour tracks of rugged, rolling jungle from Mani Festo, with the A side's 'Immortals' setting a deep, atmospheric tone before 'Hold The Line' kicks in with a weighty bassline. The flipside offers 'Awake' and 'Warehouse Theory', both built for the dancefloor with crisp breaks and dark, hypnotic energy. Note that the labels are misprinted: A2 is actually 'Awake' and B1 is 'Hold The Line'.
