A youth steeped in a broad swath of both Eastern and Western musical traditions gives Michal Menert a deep palate from which to draw. Menert’s style of production combines vintage vinyl sample collage with analog synths and a futuristic hip hop element, creating a soulful blend of nostalgia and innovation.
Menert’s reputation as a live performer is well known. He brings his music to fans nationwide via both his septet, Michal Menert & The Pretty Fantastics, and his 22-piece all-star ensemble the Michal Menert Big Band and performs as a member of Pretty Lights.
His collaborations have led to the formation of a myriad of ongoing side projects including Manic Menert (with Manic Focus), Half Color (with Paul Basic), and work with artists like Eliot Lipp, Mux Mool, Break Science, and more. Additionally, Menert handled sound design for the Dead & Co tours, and co-produced Mickey Hart’s 2017 LP RAMU as well as his 360 Surround Sound performance at the Hayden Planetarium in New York City.
