I'm Manuel, BA (Hons) MAS

Curator · Event Manager · Consultant · Artist · Developer

Few things inspire me more than creating spaces where people can connect — through music, art, and shared experience. For over 26 years, I’ve combined creativity and structure in everything from cultural projects to club nights.

Event Management & Curation
I’ve organized cultural events across Austria and the Czech Republic for over two decades — from grassroots raves to art-focused collaborations, always bridging creative vision with hands-on logistics.

DJ / Discjockey
I started DJing at 13 and never stopped. Under aliases like Dermanuel, Menual, and now XANUEL, I’ve played countless gigs, always aiming to surprise and move the crowd.

Live Act
Since 2021, I’ve been performing live modular techno as WANUEL, using analog gear to craft raw, hypnotic sets — each one unique and built in the moment.

Tekno Artist
As a hardtekno producer, I’ve used names like Freetekk, Tekthat, and now MANUEK. This project lets me explore my love for fast, energetic, underground soundscapes.

Digital & Tech
Beyond the stage, I work as a web developer and multimedia consultant. I’ve realized over 100 digital projects for national and international clients.

And Beyond
Outside of music and tech, I travel, take photos, and stay curious. My goal is to keep learning — and keep creating spaces where people feel something real.
