Manic Focus (John McCarten) is from Chicago, currently lives in Denver, and he’s playing in Detroit soon.
Manic Focus makes electro-soul and funk-infused electronica.
Heavy use of live instrumentation samples (horns, guitar, keys), often layered with hip-hop-style beats and chopped vocals. More musical and melodic than a lot of EDM.
