The digital form duo, Matthew Dean and Manuel Ferreira, sidled onto the Electronic Dance Music scene in South Africa in early 2006. A recent trip to London had inspired Manuel, aka Manwell Eff, after witnessing the Big Smoke’s cultivated club life, experiencing the global sounds and getting face time with some serious beat making machinery.

Bringing this new ambition to the fore back home with partner in chime Matthew, the two got down to business and got involved in the Johannesburg party scene, focusing on dj’ing at the more unusual and underground venues around the city. Bringing in the best elements of a variety of favoured genres, digital form found their groove in an unwittingly calculated mash up of all things techno, minimal, housey and tech techy. If its dance-floor oriented and well produced, the digital form boys are sure to give it a drop and spin!

Over the next year they scouted and touted their offering; a combined understanding and learned knowledge of music and a view to a digitally accelerated club culture. They soon came to find themselves at the helm of a ‘gadget boy’ style of inquisitiveness; they needed to know how to do it all! The emergence of new software and sound technologies gave them the access to fully explore their musical and creative freedom and so, digital form fell naturally into the role of beat-makers.

Making their music heard, with this digital new age in mind, Manuel and Matthew found the immediate progression for digital form to have a virtual base.
