Maniatika is the fusion of artists Raimon Jc and Rockoder.
Raimon began his musical career in 1993, attending music, guitar and
bass guitar lessons at the Conservatori de Girona, and also Jazz at
Modern Music School. After several years in different bands where he
performed in various concerts around Spain, he evolved until beginning
in the world of electronic music. As a Dj, he has been part of
associations like Oval-Music or Sanae Group, playing sets in many clubs
along the likes of Le Rachdingue, Eixclub, La Sala del Cel or KGB among
others. After settling into this music style, and evolving as a DJ, in 2004
he began his career as a producer. From this stage the most
outstanding tracks “Expression”, “Rotation”, “Insomni”, or digital
productions such as “Alone”, “Discharge Combuston”, edited by
himself under his own label, Hypnotic Creations.
Rockoder began his musical career back in 1999. He started Dj-ing and
in the following years he found his unique music style, and after a few
years performing in different clubs, he joined Sanae Group. It is only
then, when he really settled as a DJ playing in venues like La Sala del
Cel, Le Rachdingyue, Palm Beach Club or Oxid. In 2003, the Senglar
Rock festival included electronic music in their line-up for the first
time ever, where Rockoder stunned fans with one of his best ever sets.
After Sanae Group slowly fell apart, he became part of Hypnotic
Creations, beginning his career as a producer. His vast knowledge of
computers has helped him evolve quickly in this new environment and
efficiently master the diverse skills he has acquired over the years.
With their joint experiences, they both began DJ-ing at a new level,
where they put behind them all that had been achieved to the date, to
start working on live electronic sets, thus the beginning of their project
Maniatika. In their sets, you can see a strong connection between them
and a carefully worked style; having up to seven tracks playing
simultaneously. It..s obvious that, just playing on decks has
become too small for them, and they are thinking bigger by playing a
live format, this way being able to play infinite amounts of sounds,
effects and tracks, making even the laziest clubber dance. After more
than two years creating their own style, Maniatika has began to make
themselves known at clubs like Blau Club, Sala KGB, Row14, Florida
135 (La Boite) or in festivals like Pulse or Mipanas.
Maniatika now has five albums available in digital format: Techmotion,
Numeric, Two Months, Biotechnology and Beliefs.
Their passion is for playing live, or live-jockey, but they know very well
that they aren’t going to stop producing.
