Mani Festo - Higher

Flightpath is a new UK-based record label using a combination of sonics and visuals that pull from the past and future in equal measure. It’s first release; a four track EP by Mani Festo (label founder) entitled ‘Higher’ captures its essence perfectly. Fusing breakbeats, soaring rave pianos, dark-side kick drums and industrial machine funk to soundtrack hedonism in a way that nothing else could. The title track ‘Higher’ is a tale of long-lost raves, written during the summer of 2020. It reflects the first time in the history of electronic music that gatherings ceased to exist. The track is hopeful, but longs for the freedom of dancing in a field, something that seems like nothing more than a forgotten memory. The track is accompanied by a full-length animated video created by Mani Festo (Nick Marks), layering techniques that have been acquired and developed over years as a designer and artist.
