After last years release of 'The Mask' on MNL, and multiple releases on Nick Warren's The Soundgarden imprint, Dastan now makes his return within the Manual family with the release of his brand new single 'Ex Nihilo' on Manual Music. 'Ex Nihilo' sets a deep and moody vibe from the get go. An intelligent, mature piece of work by the US based artist who's output can definitely be defined as being quality over quantity. On the flip side we welcome another amazingly talented artist, Samanta Liza, who makes the song her own by adding her own vocals and guitar bits to Dastan's stems. A bit more alternative, making her remix a great addition to the single.
