In this special episode of Bounce FM, we dive deep into the pulsating heart of the Madchester scene to celebrate one of its most iconic bassists — Mani. From his era-defining groove in The Stone Roses to his thunderous years with Primal Scream, Mani’s playing didn’t just anchor the music; it shaped the culture.

We explore the sound, spirit, and swagger of late-80s/early-90s Manchester — the clubs, the attitude, the sonic experimentation — and how Mani’s distinctive bass lines became the backbone of a movement that blended indie rock, acid house, and pure rave energy. Expect stories, standout tracks, and a heartfelt tribute to a musician whose influence continues to ripple through generations.
