Manuel le Saux
Manuel Le Saux is a trance DJ based in Rome whose career has centered on a long-running weekly radio show, Extrema, which by 2016 had passed its 449th episode and continued airing without interruption for years afterward, alongside a separate monthly program, Top Twenty Tunes. He has been a resident DJ on the online trance station ETN.fm since 2003, a role that runs parallel to his club and festival touring across Italy and wider Europe.
Le Saux built his profile through peaktime, uplifting full-on trance sets, a style that distinguishes him within the genre's more melodic or progressive strands, and his catalogue of productions and remixes has been released through labels including A State of Trance, Discover, Extrema Global Music and Enhanced. After an early career pause around the turn of the millennium, he returned to production in the 2000s while continuing to DJ across Italy and for internet radio audiences, a combination that helped sustain his following even without major festival headline slots.
His Extrema show remains archived and streamed through platforms such as SoundCloud, giving listeners ongoing access to his track selection alongside his live sets. Decades into his career, Le Saux's radio residency stands as the throughline connecting his early scene-building years to his continued presence on the trance circuit.
