At the age of 16, Maniac was at a comfortable stage. He got his first play on legal radio station Kiss 100 in August 2006, as part of DJ Logan Samas War Report special. While still 16, Maniac was asked by fellow E3 native Wiley to vocal an instrumental entitled: Bow E3 which he heard whilst they were at studio. This was the song that propelled Maniac into the ranks, and brought him a high level of respect in the Grime scene. This track features on the excellent Playtime Is Over LP by Wiley.

Maniacs last release (Tinchy Stryder vs Maniac) consisted of half instrumentals and the other half of the tracks were recorded on by chart topping artist Tinchy Stryder. This was released in November 2008 and sold multiple thousands of copies.

This latest release, 'New Age Grime' is a full instrumental release that showcases Maniacs immense talent over the last few years. It is the first in a series of releases from the emerging producer.
