Mangabey, the French DJ and producer whose name has become synonymous with some of house music’s most influential labels — Toy Tonics, Nervous, Pont Neuf, and Novaj — is preparing to release his highly anticipated debut album via Cracki Records in 2025. Fresh off the success of his smash hit ‘Time For You & Me’ which has garnered over two million streams, Mangabey is about to take a bold leap into new sonic territory with the debut single from the album, ‘Six Figures Check’.
A striking departure from his usual sound, ‘Six Figures Check’ blends sultry, old-school rap verses from rising French vocalist Tora Meishi with a sleek, alternative R&B style that pulls heavily from the vibrant UK scene (think RUBII, Jorja Smith, Lava La Rue, and DRIIA).
With its hypnotic percussion, smoky atmospherics, reverb-drenched vocals, jazzy instrumental flourishes, and infectious bassline, the track transports the listener into a lush sonic dreamscape. It’s a refreshing reinvention that showcases Mangabey’s boundless production talent and sets the stage for an exciting new chapter in his evolving musical narrative.
