There’s a specific kind of energy that runs through Will Manning’s DJ sets—one that mirrors the clarity and optimism of his original productions. His latest mix, released alongside the new single I Believe featuring Matilda Cole, leans into that feeling completely. It’s sharp, polished, and geared for outdoor stages and summer nights, with the kind of vocal focus that defines his best work. Where earlier tracks hinted at his direction, this one cements it. He’s clearly writing with the mainstage in mind, and the mix doubles down on that goal.
Will’s been teasing I Believe across socials for weeks now, but hearing it in the context of a full mix gives the single a different weight. Matilda Cole’s vocal cuts through clean, and the arrangement keeps things moving without losing focus. You can hear the same instincts that made Kisses such a radio mainstay: short build-ups, bright melodic payoffs, and vocal hooks designed to travel fast. The rest of the mix follows suit—lean house rhythms, modern pop inflections, and tightly programmed transitions that never overstay their welcome.
For anyone watching Will’s career over the last two years, this release marks a clear step forward. He’s moved beyond quick-hit singles and into something more curated, and this mix reflects that shift. It’s functional but personal, polished without feeling templated and the energy holds, the quality holds, and I Believe earns its spotlight.
