Amal Nemer - Shik Shak [Manifest Records]

Amal Nemer’s "Shik Shak", released on Manifest Records, goes straight for the pulse with a stripped-back tech house approach and a groove that is difficult to ignore. The track doesn’t waste time building unnecessary layers: percussion, rhythm and a sharp sense of movement are placed exactly where they need to be, giving the production an immediate club character.

What stands out is the track’s playful attitude. "Shik Shak" keeps circling around its central rhythm, introducing subtle changes that prevent the groove from becoming predictable. Amal Nemer knows how to leave enough space between the elements, allowing the beat to breathe while maintaining a steady sense of pressure.

Released through Manifest Records, the track feels made for those moments when a DJ needs something direct, physical and slightly mischievous. "Shik Shak" doesn’t try to overcomplicate its formula; instead, Amal Nemer turns a simple rhythmic idea into a track with personality, movement and a clear purpose on the dancefloor.
