August schedule 🔥
This Friday we’re so excited to welcome DJ Mathias back to Manawa. ✨
Mathias has been with us since the very beginning, supporting Manawa as one of our founding community members, and it’s such a joy to have him back behind the decks.
Blase and I will both be there, and we can’t wait to dance with you all. See you on the dance floor. 💛

This one feels special.
After taking a year away, DJ Mathias Light is coming back to the Manawa dance floor.
His sets move through organic and melodic house, with these really spacious, celestial tones that have a way of gently dropping you back into your body.
There’s a softness to the way he plays. Nothing forced. Just a steady unfolding into presence, feeling, and connection.
We’re really grateful to have him return for this one.
✨ No experience needed
💛 Come as you are
See you on the floor

We're so looking forward to welcoming Bass Chakra to the Manawa dance floor.
His sets are deep, earthy, and powerful. The kind of music that invites you to slow down, feel your feet on the ground, and let your body lead the way.
There's a real sense of intention in the way he holds a space. Through rhythm, ritual, and movement, you're invited to reconnect with yourself, with each other, and with the earth beneath you.
If you've been craving a dance that feels both grounding and freeing, this is one to come to.
✨ No dance experience needed.
💛 Just bring yourself.
See you on the dance floor.

We're back!
I'm so excited to have DJ Mangosago with us this Friday. She has such a beautiful way of taking us on a journey through music. Expect Afro House, tribal beats, Latin rhythms, and plenty of moments to completely lose yourself in the dance.
If you've been feeling stuck in your head lately, this is your invitation to come back into your body.
No dance experience needed. No one is watching.
Just come as you are, move however you want, and let the music do the rest.
See you on the dance floor. ✨
