# Manse (DJ)

Michael "Manse" Hansen (born 17 October 1990) is a Swedish DJ and record producer. He became known throughout Sweden when he placed second in a remix contest of the song "Escape" by 3lau along with Paris & Simo. This resulted in Hardwell signing him to his record label, Revealed Recordings. He became known for numerous remixes from 2013 to 2014 before releasing his own singles from 2015.
His best-known title is "Freeze Time", performed with vocalist Alice Berg and released on Hardwell's label, Revealed Recordings. The single reached 8th in the top 100 downloads on the platform Beatport.
Manse has also begun a side project called Stasius producing music in a film score style.
Since 2016, he has a new show called Midweek Mentions live on his Facebook page where his newest tracks are often featured.

## Career
### 2012-2014: First Recognition and Revealed Recordings

Hansen first gained industry recognition for his unofficial, dancefloor-slaying remix of Axwell & Ingrosso's 'Roar' that was scouted by Hardwell to receive airplay on his Hardwell On Air radio show.
Manse gained a debut Revealed Recordings release soon after with his 'Escape' remix on the imprint that was handpicked out of over 3500 submissions. Garnering momentum as a fan-favorite and receiving international airplay on magnificent stations including the UK's BBC Radio 1, these moments signaled a rise for Manse's career, when he was personally invited by Nicky Romero to remix his 'Let Me Feel' single with Vicetone.
In the Summer of 2014, Manse performed at the Revealed Recordings label party at Ibiza's Ushuaïa venue. His set featured uplifting and melodic tracks captivating the peak time crowds and also included unique concoction of mash-ups and previews of original material. Manse also performed alongside familiar Revealed names including Thomas Gold and Blasterjaxx.

### 2015-2021: Remixes, Freeze Time, tour, and collaborations

As well as long-time Top 10 DJ Dash Berlin enlisting Manse for remix duties on his collaboration with John Dahlbäck entitled 'Never Let You Go', he also worked his magic on Canadian punks Down With Webster's 'Chills' on Armada's Trice, receiving support across international dance radio shows and at events from Ibiza to Tomorrowland. More recently, his collaboration 'Metric' with Kill The Buzz highlighted Manse's more groovy, club-friendly side.
Manse's hotly-tipped 'Freeze Time' track featuring vocals of Alice Berg, premiered on Pete Tong's Radio 1 show and was also labeled as a future anthem across the airwaves by Hardwell himself. The track hit both #2 in the Beatport progressive house chart and #8 in the overall chart. This year's Miami Music Week Manse demonstrated his live skills at the Revealed Sirius XM Lounge takeover, one of the biggest satellite stations in the US with over 20 million subscribers, that saw him pack his set with upcoming exclusives.
Later in 2015, Michael Hansen aka Manse had a slew of huge releases lined up with Revealed, including the follow-up to 'Freeze Time' that will be a collaboration with vocalist Chris Jones forthcoming on the label, as well as substantial festival dates penciled in for the approaching Summer season including a spot at the Revealed area for Tomorrowland and multiple Ibiza dates.
In 2016 he got chance to remix Hardwell's track 'Run Wild.' Revealed favorite Manse teases in rhythmic bubbling beats before hi-octane build-ups and guitar-tinged breakdowns take it in another direction, all whilst keeping one foot firmly in the club, show Manse's unique reworking as a true reflection of his almighty talent.
Also in 2016, he was given the chance to remix Armin Van Buuren's huge track 'Freefall.' Through an impeccable melody, a breakdown teeming with beautiful strings, and an outstanding rendition by Manse, it's made evidently clear that shattering the boundaries of Electronic Music can lead to great achievements and great rewards.
At end of 2016, he remixed Thomas Gold's track 'Saint & Sinners.' the track has been treated with the signature sound of Manse. The Swedish mastermind went all out and made sure its stunningly detailed arrangement and beautiful melody got the whole world of Electronic Music excited.
Manse's tour in China included his first festival appearance in the region. He expressed that performing at Dreamland Electronic Music Festival, a musical celebration in the Mongolian desert, was truly an unforgettable experience.
Manse expressed his surprise at the level of energy among the Chinese audience, which he found vastly different from his normal relaxed European crowd. "Chinese fans really appreciate my music and are open to new elements. It's the experience with people who like my sets that makes up for the stressful times on the road," he shared.
During 2017 until 2022, he did collaborations, remixes & tracks including Andrew Rayel 'Home' Remix, Flashback EP, and Stasius's Chill Tracks.

### 2022: DubVision & Afrojack collab

In 2022, Manse has teamed up with talented Dutch two-some DubVision and their fellow countryman Afrojack for the track that lands on his expansive new music platform Never Sleeps. Each carrying a formidable reputation into this production, expectations have been well and truly exceeded as the track flows with immense energy and vigour credit to its meticulous arrangement.
Although not long released, 'Stay With You' had seen play-out at festivals and venues as far back as 2019 as part of Afrojack's back catalogue, and has now garnered fresh radio support from the likes of Martin Garrix and Lucas & Steve on their respective platforms.
