Felix Manuel aka Djrum, returns with Under Tangled Silence, an emotionally rich and genre spanning album that blends classical piano, jazz, jungle, ambient and experimental club music. The record is fluid and unpredictable, but maintains a clear emotional core throughout.

Although rooted in dance music, this isn’t built for the club. It’s introspective, textured and immersive. Manuel plays most of the instrumentation himself — piano, harp, mbira, and strings — giving the album a handcrafted feel. Every track evolves naturally, avoiding rigid loops in favor of freeform progression.

Compared to his earlier works, this album feels more mature and emotionally complex. Critics have praised it as a major creative leap by calling it “one of the most dazzling electronic albums in years.”
