It precedes the release of the new EP 'Road Rage'...
18 · 09 · 2025
Manuka Honey's newest track 'Faramanch', created in collaboration with Egyptian producer ABADIR, presents a fierce and exhilarating declaration that cuts through the noise with authority. This song, revealed alongside her forthcoming EP, 'Road Rage', pushes the boundaries of typical club music with an intense blend of tension and release. Built on alternating halftime and double time rhythms, “Faramanch” captures the essence of suspense and impending impact. It's not just a tremendous hit — it's a controlled explosion, both ritualistic and revolutionary.
The title of the track, which translates to “machete” in Arabic, serves as more than just a metaphor. The piece is likened to a blade slicing through silence with its disruptive, sharp rhythms. It embodies both meditation and aggression — akin to a breath held between strikes.
Set to release in 2025, 'Road Rage' is expected to be her most globally ambitious project to date. Collaborations with artists like De Schuurman highlight her dedication to bridging diverse club cultures. While it involves fusion, it primarily focuses on friction. ‘Faramanch’ demonstrates that Manuka Honey thrives in the sharp contrasts and uneven spaces — where things don’t entirely align — until she applies her pressure to them. She infused this single with her distinctive energy and flow. If this single is any indication, Road Rage will be both exhilarating and menacing.
