Strong’ands
Moving to Bristol in the late 90’s and rediscovering his love for dance music that started in the 80’s electronic scene, Strong’ands soon connected with Rama and Steve Matson to start the Manna Music underground nights. A meeting in Ibiza with like minded DJ’s secured the foundations of the growing parties. Starting with organizing, bookkeeping and decorating in the first few parties and some warm up sets he found his place in lineup. Bridging the musical gap between the US house room and the deep house and techno of the main room, a chunky house set developed deployed across the two rooms. The mixture of the crowd and their shared love of the Manna music sustained a decade of activity before family took priority. Today based out of the Netherlands, the music scene continues to be important, the music choice may be a bit more melodic but there’s always room for a bit of cheese, that’s not just the Dutch influence!
