Mantus is a disco group consisting of Billy Amendola, Frank DeCrescenzo, Jimmy Maer and Kenny Bee. One of the initial disco productions to highlight the breakdown of congas and bongos in the dance mix leading to a new dance era. “Midnight Energy” is the title cut from their 1979 project produced by Will Crittendon. The track is an infectious piece which outlines the disco era and its hold on those who caught ‘night fever’ with all the energy and excitement. It has the boys serenading us with several moments where this piece sounds like an early disco anthem. A nice arrangement and break make this one a classic in its own right.
I have taken the album version of “Midnight Energy” and laid out those heavy percussion moments for a ReStructure Mix. Adding a few new break segments using the bongos and beats are the new edits that give this remix a new feel.
