Futuristic Avantgarde Pop Composer MANU LOUIS Shares New "Peu" Music Video

Belgium born, now Berlin based musician and composer extraordinaire, Manu Louis shares a new video single titled Peu from new album Club Copy, out now on Igloo Records. 

Manu Louis has just finished extensive touring: 35 concerts, 63 trains and 34 different bathrobes later, the Club Copy Tour Part 1 is over.


Manu tells us: "Thanks so much to all the people who came, to those who organized or helped with those concerts, to all the people I saw again and to those I met for the first time. It was my best tour so far!"

Here are a few lines from Ruben Marin, the director of the music video and the song: "In Peu Manu joins forces with Lynn Cassiers and Vicente Arlandis for a trilingual cocktail of experimental pop. In the song, the narrator manages to convince himself that there must be a solution for his anxiety. He tries to do yoga, convert to an ancient religion or vote for the right person but nothing seems to be able to prevent what comes his way.


The video clip appeals to the lyrics of the song, plays thematically and formally with the idea of routine. Life as a couple, small and reiterative gestures are contrasted with celestial bodies, galaxies and images of the cosmos, reminding us that life is an eternal spinning."

Rubén Marín is an artist and researcher (film and contemporary art). He currently lives in Valencia.

New album Club Copy brings us a futuristic world dominated by standardisation, in which, your place on earth no longer matters. In Paris, Bangkok or Hanoi everything is the same. Visitors are doomed to find the same street, the same shops, playing the same music, frequented by people wearing the same clothes, made in the same places... However in one of these towns, a small oasis of resistance is emerging in spite of itself. 

Club Copy, a small, outdated photocopying centre has been converted into an alternative venue.



Here, each photocopy generates new variations. Because of the obsolescence of the equipment and the technical incompetence of its managers, it is impossible to make a photocopy without deviating from the original.

Initially on the verge of bankruptcy, the shop soon becomes a new place of resistance for the freaks....

And even more Club Copy activity there is!

Because we couldn't fit all the requests during the latest tour, we decided to organise a part 2 next spring (April-May). Feel free to get in touch if you want to do something during the Club Copy Tour Part II

Built on the ashes of Manu Louis' latest release (Front de Cadeaux's remix of Internet), new album Club Copy bounces again to the sexy BPM of the slowed-down clubs. Manu is joined by an impressive cast of collaborators: Spanish singer from Las Victimas Civiles, Héctor Arnau; Brussels experimental jazz vocalist, Lynn Cassiers; and performer Vicente Arlandis offer their voices. Mastering by the cult Rashad Becker sculpts the bass and widens the space, and Spanish artist Escif's hijacked covers plunge us into the heart of the beauty of the photocopy shop. 

Club Copy is undoubtedly the Berlin singer/ producer's most accomplished, touching and disturbing work to date.
