Twist and turn through a dark world of unexpected whimsy and emerge laughing into the sarcastic sunshine. What the fuck was that?? No-one wants to say, “You’ve been mangoed”, but that's the flavour on everyone’s lips. Genres are flying in every direction and no-one is even sure what decade it is anymore!
Mango Thomas is a genre-defying, rule-breaking and mind-bending phenomenon, fraught with laughter, surprise, intensity and excitement! Fusing together a progressive & psychedelic mashup of live and electronic styles, Mango takes you on a magical, mystical and eccentric journey from the depths of the soul to the heights of madness!
"Born and raised in the dense, cultural mixing-pot of Manchester's concrete jungle, Mango's perceptive ears and adaptive creativity have enabled him to survive in one of the harshest of musical habitats, forging the unique ability to shapeshift between styles and genres from around the world. Mango can often be heard reciting his mating call which the locals fondly refer to as 'throat singing' whilst prancing about in onesies and laying down fat bass lines to woo his admirers."

quotes
"Imagine an alternative universe where the Mad Professor is remixing Bootsy Collins, but in this realm Bootsy actually fronts a thrash metal band, and Frank Zappa peers over the mixing board putting his tuppence in; something like that, but more bonkers."
Devizine
"Holy wow! I'm spitting my coffee all over the screen. Now, I believe this is what you call a trip."
Ben, CatchTwentyTwo
"Bonkers. Pretty much the only thing missing is the kitchen sink ... but the important thing is… it works. The mix of disparate styles, the matching of modern dance influences to prog sensibilities, the rhythmic complexity, the invention and wit, and the ease with which all those are combined."
