Mano Le Tough

About

Mano Le Tough is the alias of Niall Mannion, an Irish DJ, producer and label founder originally from Greystones, a coastal village near Dublin.

His debut album Changing Days (2013) and the more song-oriented At the Moment (2021) cemented his standing as one of the most distinctive voices in European club music. He has played regularly at venues such as Berghain, Fabric and Circoloco, and at festivals including Dekmantel and Coachella.
