Ever since dropping her debut release in 2020, Danish-Filipino talent Manda Moor has been on an impressive upwards curve and one that doesn't seem to be slowing anytime soon. Having dropped back-to-back releases on Jamie Jones and Lee Foss' iconic Hot Creations imprint, the hotly-tipped DJ/producer and label founder heads to her Mood Child label for the first time. Founded and created alongside Sirus Hood, the label serves as an artistic platform, a community-focused label, and an events series that delivers quality music via digital and physical formats, plus NFTs, unique experiences, and more.

An "invitation to a journey that blends feelings, emotions and desires," with takeovers at Hï Ibiza, Café Mambo, Lovefest, Fabrik, and more, the first release saw Sirus partner with fellow Frenchman Malikk. The second arrives in time for the peak summer months as Manda combines with Boogeyman and Pakate signee Trangaz. New York City born-and-raised, he draws lines between primitive and futuristic sounds and rhythms influenced by world travel and different cultures, and the two reunite for their four-track "Peligro EP."

Crafted together in Ibiza, the EP showcases sonics capturing the island's unique magic. Lead cut "El Peligro (Ibiza Mix)" is a production made after a special day at the coves and hidden treasures of Atlantis, under full moonlight near Talamanca, with the rolling organic drums grooves, playful vocal murmurs and vibrant melodies journeying deep into the night.

Next, "Tagalog" keeps the energy bubbling with another percussive workout sprinkled with vocal interjections and spoken words in the native Filipino language it is named after, while "Chatita" is a slinking production as wonky stabs meet and snaking low-end grooves. Closing the EP, the pair deliver the most stripped-back track with "Buena Vibra" as a killer groove guides vocal chants to wrap things up in fine fashion.
