Iraina Mancini

Iraina Mancini is a dynamic Singer/Songwriter and DJ, known for crafting a chic and irresistibly cool brand of pop that blends Psychedelia, Retro-Soul, Ye-Ye, and Vintage cinema. Her music weaves together a vibrant mix of the past and present, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and fresh.

 

Iraina has worked with a roster of highly respected collaborators, including producer Jagz Kooner (Primal Scream, Andrew Weatherall), Simon Dine (Paul Weller), Erol Alkan (Duran Duran), and Sunglasses for Jaws (Miles Kane). Her debut album, Undo The Blue, received widespread praise from both critics and peers, with Shindig Magazine commending it as "a playfully radical first album... perfectly amalgamating psych, pop, and rock." The Times noted her "intoxicating way with a melody," and described her as "a new heroine to make us swoon!"

 

Her infectious sound has garnered extensive support from BBC 6 Music, with a fantastic six consecutive singles play-listed in a row. Early champion Lauren Laverne declared, "this is an artist I absolutely love" while Chris Hawkins recently invited her to perform a special live session at the iconic Maida Vale Studios.

 

Fresh off an exciting summer tour - with standout performances at Glastonbury, Green Man, Jazz Equinoxe (France), and a support slot for The Coral - Iraina is set to end the year with a bang.

 

Her upcoming show at The Social on December 18th will be an all-out end-of-year celebration, featuring a special preview of brand new songs from her highly anticipated second album, set for release in 2026. Expect an unforgettable night of live music and DJ sets - the perfect way to close the year on a high!
