Electro house prodigy No Mana marks a trilogy of releases on Monstercat today with his next nostalgic single, “Space (feat. ill-esha).” Inspired by one of his favourite childhood songs, “I Love You Always Forever” by Donna Lewis, the new record sees the artistic virtuoso juxtapose his previous moodier tones on releases like “Out of the Dark” and “Yesterday,” with vintage-analogue synths backed by his signature 8-bit beats.
