Denver-based producer Manic Focus is an artist of many talents. As a magician, he uses sleight of hand to pull objects out of thin air. As an electronic artist, he executes similarly impossible sonic acts with his vibrant, genre-defying music. But his strengths lie not only in the musical and magical: what also makes Manic Focus stand apart is his mental triumphs.

Manic Focus’ unique style - defined by a hybrid of electronic, funk, soul, and hip-hop - has helped the producer cultivate a fervent fanbase captivated by his immersive studio trickery and vibrant creative spirit - a combination that has led him to performances at festivals such as Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Hulaween, North Coast Music Festival, High Sierra Music Festival, Camp Bisco, Wakaan Festival, Summer Camp Music Festival, and multiple opening slots at Red Rocks in support of Zhu, Emancipator, Pretty Lights, and more. With his tenth full-length album, Manic Focus continues to expand the boundaries of his evolving sound. What began as a breakbeat bass project has grown into a vibrant fusion of funk, soul, blues, and electronic music.

On his 10th LP, John “JmaC” McCarten showcases the full spectrum of his musical identity, weaving lush melodies, intricate production, and timeless grooves rooted in classical and blues influences. Each track stands confidently on its own, yet together they form a cohesive story — one that reflects both his artistic growth and his relentless curiosity as a producer.
