Roberto Rodriguez, aka Manolo, has shaped his personal funk infected old-school vibe over the last few years and helped to revive the house scene without forgetting from where it came from.

His Future Beat Investigators outfit strictly followed the Detroit heritage and his Acid Kings membership gave us lust for the Roland TB 303 again. The Bermuda project came back to Cosmic again and had a huge impact on the Nu Disco scene.

It is his pertinent mix of soulful, funky & functional dancefloor and his his effective productions who convinced the tastemakers worldwide and prepared the ground for releases on labels like Compost, 2020Vision, Freerange or Delusions of Grandeur and remixes for acts like Yoko Ono, Tigerstripes, Jay Shepheard, the Timewriter, Crazy P & Vanessa Daou.
