Maniatics
Maniatics — a Spanish drum and bass trio — formed in 2012. The group are producers based in Los Palacios y Villafranca (Seville). The three members are Antonio Gordillo (known as "Rubio"), Álvaro Alcázar and Francisco Javier Zarco ("Javiviz").
Public biographical detail on the group is limited, but the core facts are clear: Maniatics have operated together since 2012 from their Seville base and have focused on studio production within drum and bass. Their recorded output appears across several independent DnB labels rather than on a single imprint.
Maniatics have released music on Melting Pot Records, His Bculture Music, Titan Records, Kosenprod, Eatbrain, Viper Recording and Dirtbox Recordings. Two track titles credited to the trio are "The Beast" and "Delusion". Those releases are the concrete reference points for their output and are the best sources to hear their production work directly.
Specifics of their musical style are not exhaustively documented in public sources, but their placement on labels such as Eatbrain and Viper Recording — alongside releases on Titan, Dirtbox and others — positions some of their work toward the heavier, tech-driven end of contemporary drum and bass. On the available tracks they favour sculpted, punchy drum programming, layered bass elements and darker atmospherics rather than open, liquid textures; the production leans toward system-oriented clarity and low-end weight while using processed percussion and tight edits to drive momentum.
Maniatics’ role in the scene is primarily as producers supplying tracks to independent DnB labels. Beyond the confirmed releases and label credits listed above, there is no detailed public record of additional collaborations, live DJ residencies or other roles; their recorded catalogue is the clearest trace of their contribution to the scene.
Specific personal influences or direct artist connections for Antonio "Rubio" Gordillo, Álvaro Alcázar and Francisco Javier Zarco ("Javiviz") are not publicly documented, so listeners are best served by evaluating Maniatics through the tracks and label releases named here.
