About

Mano Le Tough, born Niall Mannion, is a Dublin-born, Berlin-based producer and DJ whose music weaves a tapestry of introspection and euphoria. Known for his emotive, genre-defying sound, Mannion blends house, techno, and ambient influences into a sonic landscape that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant. His tracks are marked by lush melodies, intricate rhythms, and a melancholic warmth that has earned him a devoted global following. Emerging in the late 2000s, Mannion quickly became a staple of the underground electronic scene, releasing on labels like Permanent Vacation and Innervisions. His 2013 debut album, *Changing Days*, was a critical triumph, showcasing his ability to craft narratives through sound. Subsequent releases, including *Trails* (2015) and *At the Moment* (2020), further cemented his reputation as a producer unafraid to explore vulnerability and introspection. Mano Le Tough’s cultural impact lies in his ability to bridge the cerebral and the visceral, creating music that resonates equally on the dancefloor and in quiet moments of reflection. His collaborations with artists like Rüfüs Du Sol and DJ Koze highlight his versatility, while his DJ sets—often marathon journeys through genres and moods—have made him a festival favorite. Currently, Mannion continues to push boundaries, blending live instrumentation with electronic production in his latest works. His recent projects include a series of intimate live performances and a highly anticipated EP, signaling an artist constantly evolving while staying true to his emotional core.
