Manifest EP by DPAZ

Following his beatific downtempo debut Cosmos on Kiosk ID, Spanish producer DPAZ returns with ‘Manifest’—an interstellar voyage that accelerates his cosmic signature into higher realms of tempo and intensity. Across five razor-sharp cuts, Manifest charts a high-energy journey through spaced-out synth work, stripped drum structures, and strobing, atmospheric nebulae.

Opening track ‘Clarity’ delivers an urgent, brooding transmission shrouded in darkly oscillating saws. Deconstructed sound fragments arc across a stripped beat, as DPAZ unfolds a shadowy cosmos of menacing staccato synth work that consumes the dancefloor in grayscale flashes.

‘Experience’ brightens the atmosphere while sharpening DPAZ’s focus on sonic detail. Fluttering drums, delicate pads, and cinematic keys are weightlessly suspended, blending sci-fi sound design with emotional nuance. Angelic stabs shimmer through mangled feedback like warped transmissions—soothing yet alien, and intimately moving.

On ‘Humanize,’ DPAZ injects his deep-space psychedelia with percussive urgency. Jarring white-noise bursts and choppy rhythms lend a raw physical edge, while a melancholic motif pulses beneath, warm and radiant amid the technical grit. Tactile and rich in feeling, Humanize beautifully balances raw energy with emotional depth.

The title cut, ‘Manifest,’ threads the needle between dubby atmospheres and sub-heavy propulsion. Playful chirps and brilliantly bright synths revolve around a deep, throbbing core, conjuring a ghostly, jazz-inflected trip. Ethereal yet grounded, Manifest radiates DPAZ’s singular, spectral charm.

Closing track ‘Twelve Dimensions’ pairs an acid-laced lead with a punchy rhythm section. Blippy arpeggios anchor the momentum as chord shifts open up worlds of melodic intensity.

With Manifest, DPAZ transcends his downtempo roots, stepping confidently into a celestial synthesis of synth-crazed, drum-driven psychedelia. The result is a sci-fi club odyssey across five distinct interstellar fragments—bleeding-edge, anthemic, and laser-focused on the floor.
