Manapool

MANAPOOL, a prominent figure in the Midwest DIY screamo scene, transitioned from vocal roles in bands like Gilliam to collaborative projects in experimental rap and production. Her debut solo mixtape, “NEPHALEM” (2020), marked the beginning of her exploration into Romantic Hardcore, a genre she pioneered.

Focused on leaving a lasting emotional impact, MANAPOOL’s releases in her four-year career showcase versatility. From the Nu Skool Breaks-oriented “Zodiac Core” to the Digital Romanticism Opus “seraph.am,” to her most recent electro industrial project “Shadowlink: Unholy Specialization” featuring rapper Danny Brown, her work spans Jungle, Trance, Industrial, Hardcore, and most recently dub - all becoming contemporary benchmarks.

As a member of 909WorldWide, leader of netlabel ChaoGardem, and a founder of Saint Louis rave collective Materia, MANAPOOL’s influence resonates across diverse genres and communities, solidifying her lasting impact. A producer first and DJ by means of having her production heard, her sets evoke a sense of industrial lust and transparent emotion shadowed in a dark warehouse.
