Daniel Mancini's first introduction to music was through the medium of film , as a small child the memories of places visted and explored all came with a piece of music to set the mood and emotion . Having a very musical mother and a technical father , electronic music and film soundtracks were around as part of everyday life. This gave him a good insight in moods and emotion that are contained within music and film . The urge to make sound and noises led to him purchasing various synths , computer related electronic instruments and using almost anything as a instrument to create a piece of music.


" we try to visualize the sound as much as possible "


His interst in music became even more so with the creation of more reliable and affordable studio equipment and instuments. The music and film composition scores bieng produced whilst growing up where a big influence on him as well as composers like Henry Mancini , Vangelis , Isao Tomita , Klaus Schultz , Maurice Jarre , Jean Michelle Jarre , John Carpenter , Ennio Morricone , Wendy Carlos , Morton Subotnick , Delia Derbyshire , Giorgio Moroder , Krzysztof Penderecki , Quincy Jones , John Barry , George Martin , Micheal Andrews.
In his determination to create compositions and produce recordings he gained the qualifications as a Mixing / Recording / Sound Engineering / Programmer / Tape op always composing and using his own recordings as material to learn the craft of mixing.


"Music is the only way of life I have ever known"

Living all his life in London. Daniel's music productions come with a big dab of North London's best music scenes. Since he can remember he has been around music. "The first time i can think of is in the mid 80's going to parties with the older lot. Being told look after the sound system". They told me "If the red light comes on, turn it down". Excellent teachers !!!!!
It wasn't long before music production became part of his life (qualified Sound, Recording and Mix Engineer). Having got a firm grounding in the early 90's. He started to be noticed by the people who were going to become some of the most influential artist's and producers. After being involved in running a few studios he soon decided that it was time to get back to the production side of things. He built a collection of weird and wonderful midi gear and starting making noise...

After an analog excursion musical trip to remember he was asked by Richard West (Mr.C) to look after the Watershed Studios for him. DeBoy produced a mountain of music with no restrictions.He then went on to assist the Fabric club people with building studios and music production. Now established as a production and engineering all rounder he hooked up with various artist and producers collaborating on all different kinds of musical styles. Today deboy is working out of his own studio in North London......


"Running sound systems, studios, label projects and other stuff musical is life......"

 

Daniel Mancini a.k.a Deboy introduces a label to the scene, Inbred Recordings. A big talent, Deboy’s musical style is influenced by all things deep and electronic fused with a love for early Acid House.
Engineering and production has been his drive since the early 90’s with his interests being backed by artists such as Mr.C.

This led to DeBoy running the Watershed Studios and he was then snapped up by Fabric, They also required him to assist with studio projects plus a line of other artists asking the same, putting his abilities in high demand!
Inbred Recordings have some outstanding releases lined up but brace yourselves for the labels first 12” hosting two powerful tracks.

 

Daniel's interest in sound also extended to the involvement & interest in how the music is amplified from and very young age . His Father was an audio enthusiast , with a juke box in the kitchen , High quality Hi-Fi with rare and unique pieces of audio equipment in the sitting room .

" we had a few cases of valves always around , we used to smash them because i liked the sound "

His neighbours run a mobile disco setup ( this is the early 80's ) , with lots of homemade , carpeted speakers .There was always sound being played loud . As soon as an opportunity came along , He helped out with setting up a party for the older lot , who were playing at a birthday party up york way in a house .

The door was bricked up , so you had to climb through the window to get in , think it was richard & julie's 17th , not sure . i was told to sit by the amps and skin up . and .

" if the red light comes on a lot , turn this down . if the red light don't come on much , turn this up " .

i was 12 . From then on he realised how much more to the production there is in the Sound / Music world . The next 10 years where spent observing and learning production , my family had lots of very interesting friends , who where very musical or who's interest in music was amazing to see from my eyes .

" it will work with what we have got in front of us "

It soon became clear that its probably a better option from a production point of view to stick to one P.A manufacturer , " i had listened to lots of different companies , some professional , some not so professional " .

We had decided that d&b audiotechnik supplied by john tinline ( encore pa ), was the best option in all situations & environments , i still use it today .

Around the year 2001 , by default daniel and his friend bilbo had been in attendance for a few years and become the production at a private party in norfolk , we had been supplying sound systems , engineering and staging , but it needed to be organised properly from production , event and sites point of view , " it had grown by 2006 to a lot of people which meant more production , stages , sound , lights ( i will point out , mark england who is an inspiration and master , more than capable of running the whole gig , but stuck to lights and we left him to it ) , then grew even more to a we need more situation . it ran its course and myself and bilbo had separated the way we did it a few years before , i ran the crew , production and provided kitchen / fun , he supplied the engineers and stage crew . we grew up together , he will always be my friend , business is business , and if your good at it it makes it hard to give in …

After a while production became a major part of life , the experiences we had over the years at kimberley where an eye opener to all aspects of production & site .

Ben taylor , who organised and put the whole thing together , became very impressed with the results i got .
in 2011 daniel became production manager for house of honey . The party moved to eridge park after a long time at kimberley , then on to a perfect site at a stately home in private . Lots of festivals , gigs , club installs with encore ( john tinline ) . working hard lead to him working with Iain mackie at standon calling helping with production , i had met in my own special way and asked mackie to help me with the last gig at kimberley , it was like nothing he he'd even seen , his words .
