Neon Bible by Guy Mantzur & Chicola

Seasoned melodic house and techno pioneers Guy Mantzur and Chicola join up for a serene new EP on Last Night on Earth
The fi nessed four-tracker on Sasha's label features two originals and an immersive ambient mix.

Guy Mantzur unites all genres from tech to house, progressive to techno, with a uniquely melodic and storytelling sensibility. He's co-owner and A&R for Munich-based label Plattenbank and has long been in demand as a remixer and producer for top labels like Bedrock Records and Moments. Chicola is equally accomplished and infl uential as a long-time vinyl obsessive, globe-trotting DJ, and producer of sophisticated sounds that draw on his pianist background and off er rich musical harmony.
The pair open with the meticulously crafted ‘Neon Bible,’ a poised, ever-shifting cut built on subtle chord progressions and dubbed-out drums sprinkled with delicate percussive touches. Suspensory and hypnotic, it radiates a cosmic beauty that gently uplifts while drawing you deeper under its spell. 'Galactica’ takes a more extroverted turn, its shimmering melodies and intricate synth sequences weaving a lush and luminous tapestry. The drums stay weighty and elastic to ground the track while the atmosphere brims with hope and a refi ned sense of celestial escape. 'Neon Bible' is also reworked with an Extended Ambient Mix that lays bare the scintillating synth modulations, ever-shifting chords, and creative melodies that fl oat you up amongst the stars.

Sasha’s imprint is in its ninth year and to date has succeeded in being a key platform for fresh, inspiring talent, incl BAILE, John Monkman and VONDA7, along with showcasing well respected figures such as Maribou State, Max Cooper, Ejeca and more. The label has also released remixes from esteemed figures such as Nicole Moudaber and Radio Slave, along with Sasha’s own originals and reworks.
