Manuel Darquart is an electronic music duo from New Zealand, comprised of Sean Whittaker and Louis Anderson-Rich. Renowned for their sunny blend of house, disco, and balearic influences, their sound is defined by lush melodies, warm pads, and rhythm-driven grooves that capture the spirit of 1980s and 90s dance music while injecting a modern, playful energy. Since their emergence in the late 2010s, Manuel Darquart have released on respected labels such as Shall Not Fade and Wolf Music, earning an international following through both their infectious DJ sets and original productions.

Their music often evokes an escapist, cosmopolitan vibe, full of shimmering keys and smooth, laid-back rhythms—a testament to their love of crate-digging and obsession with dancefloor history. Now based in London, the duo continue to inspire crowds and collectors alike, championing soulful, sun-dappled house music that bridges the gap between nostalgia and innovation.
