DJ Manuvers

Francisco “Pancho” de Pablo, a.k.a. Manuvers, started DJing at the age of 13. What started as a hobby (and excuse to go to parties) became an instrumental part in developing his love for music. In 1999, he officially began his journey into producing. Manuvers made the natural progression from DJ to producer; evolving from the man behind the turntables to the man making the music being played on them. He graduated high school in 1998, and in 2000 he started college radio on FIU’s 88.1 FM with a show called “Funknotix” Friday Nights that ran for five years. In 2001, Manuvers became part-owner of the now defunct Counterflow Recordings while releasing music as a solo artist with the Botanica del Jibaro imprint. Counterflow released more than 50 titles and became a critically acclaimed label known for quality in music, as well as in art.

His production has been featured on numerous releases with the following labels around the world: Counterflow Recordings, Botanica del Jibaro (USA), Merck (USA), Project Mooncircle (EU), Sonar Music (EU), RL66 (Japan), Potoco Discos (Chile), Sudametrica (Argentina)

Known throughout the world DJ Manuvers has performed throughout Europe, South America, USA, and Japan.
