Manuel Bundy

aka Manuel Matisi, Manny Styles, DJ Mamafa


Widely regarded as Auckland's pre-eminent soul and hip-hop DJ, Manuel Bundy could be called the godfather of the scene. Indeed, In 1998, Che Fu told Pavement magazine, “Manuel has been at the forefront of [NZ] hip-hop from day one and without his influence, I don’t think I'd be doing what I'm doing now.”

Ask any DJ around Auckland city who is the DJ they most admire, and the answer will most likely be Manuel Bundy aka Manny Styles (Manuel Matisi). One of the most respected DJs in the nation, Manuel has been cutting and scratching behind the decks since 1987, when he DJ'd for the first time, at a party in South Auckland.
