Happy to announce the release of DDANIEL HAAKSMAN´s new single "Flora" which is out today!

Though autumn is in full swing in the Northern hemisphere and the results of the US elections are more than depressing, it´s time to let confidence and beauty blossom!

With "Flora", Daniel returns to bass music after 12 months of releasing strictly vintage music and edits. His new track is defined by a strong groove inspired by current rhythms from Portugal, Brasil and Angola which he blended with classic orchestral strings in the manner of his earlier releases „Overture“,„Vem“ or "Magma". An additional rolling house piano and a surprise glockenspiel break peppered by a baile funk MC beatboxing adds up to the dense, hyperpop style multi-genre-mix that "Flora" fascinatingly embodies. Though the times are grim, let´s make minds and dancefloors bloom - with "Flora"!

I just re-released my edit for Super Mama Djombo´s "Dissan M´Bera", which first came out on my 2020 compilation "Black Atlantica Edits" on BBE.

The edit has since been streamed more than 800.000 times on Spotify and became a Tulum staple.

Now my remaking of this classic Guinea-Bissau anthem is also available through Man Recordings Bandcamp and later this week on all streaming platforms.

Grab it from here:

Straight from Rio´s underground comes the „Baile Funk Montagems“ compilation. It features nine „montagems“, i.e. collage tracks created on MPCs with the trademark Volt Mix beat as its base. Highlights amongst others include DJ Amazing Clay reworking the Indiana Jones title tune, Isaac DJ shredding the Rocky title tune and Jorge Maluco rinsing the most out of a video game melody. A DJs delight!

After the much acclaimed Daniel Haaksman edit for "Curimão" by Fernando Falcão, comes another Haaksman rework in the shape of "Ondas" (Portuguese for "Waves"). It´s #2 in the recently launched "More Black Atlantica Edits" series.

"Ondas" is an edit of an unreleased track by the mysterious Malandros De Berlim, a four piece German-Brasilian outfit that only released one 7" single in West Germany the mid 1970s and then disbanded.

"Ondas" is a deep rare groove samba, which easily lets the listener picture a late afternoon surf ride in the waves of Arpoador beach in Rio De Janeiro. It´s a beautiful deep track for the laid back DJs or the wee small hours sets that will create warm waves across any dancefloor.
With DJ support from Gilles Peterson amongst others, who played it on his Worldwide FM show yesterday!

Enjoy the wave ride!

Today we´re celebrating a digital re-release of one of our earliest singles, the "Não Wave Revisited" EP. "Não" is Portuguese and means "no".

Yes, when Man Recordings kicked off in 2005, our very first release was a compilation of Brazilian no-wave and post-punk called "Não Wave". As most of the "Não Wave" music was danceable, but not ready for DJ use, we asked a few producer friends and DJs such as Munk, Tim Love Lee, The Glimmers and Marco to remake some of the "Não Wave" tracks into dancefloor edits or versions.

Only available on 12" vinyl until today, we´re happy to now share this beautiful release in digital format. And in case the vinyl is still not in your collection, we even added a few vinyls in our shop from a deadstock which we lately found.

Grab your copy from our merch shop or download some of the EP´s Mp3s, "Não Wave Revisited" is timeless!

One of the most iconic pop songs to ever emerge from the German language sphere is undoubtedly Falco´s "Der Kommissar". Originally released in 1981, it was the ironic yet brazen Austrian take on then brand new New York rap music. Released only two years after the release of "Rappers Delight" by Sugar Hill Gang, "Der Kommissar" was an international sensation and a #1 chart hit in various European countries as well as a global club hit. For many teenagers during the 1980s, Falco showed that also white people can rap, even in German - probably the most difficult language for pop music.

"Der Kommissar" soon also reveberated in Brasil, particularly in the southern part of the giant South American country with its history of German migration. For Porto Alegre band Comunidade Nin-Jitsu, one of the most known rap-rock-funk groups in Brasil, "Der Kommissar" was a major influencle in their prime years, so in 1998, they decided to release their take on the Austrian hit and recorded "Rap Do Trago (Vai Começar)" ("it´s about to begin"), a phonetic interpretation of "Der Kommissar" (actually meaning "The inspector" in German). The song is additionally called "Rap Do Trago" ("Rap about getting drunk") and celebrates the joys of cachaça drinking.

Our head honcho Daniel Haaksman played "Vai Começar" for many years as closing track in his sets, fast forward to 2024 and the Brasilian interpretation of the classic Austrian rap sees its
re-releases on our little label.

Now raise your cachaça glas and sing along: "Pa ri bebum, vai começar!"

Hey Man Recordings vinyl lovers! We found a bunch of old boxes in the basement containing mint vinyls of some of our first releases.

Yes, when we started our label in 2005, vinyl was still largely king and we pressed up all our first releases (in fact, until catalogue number Man 034) on vinyl. Some of it completely sold out, but luckily we found a couple of releases in these boxes which we´re now selling gradually week by week through our Bandcamp shop.

First up is Man 06, Edu K´s "Sex-O-Matic" ft. Deize Tigrona , which was a huge club hit when released. It was played by everyone from Diplo to Ivan Smagghe because of the fidget house remix by Solid Groove aka Switch aka Dave Taylor, the main producer behind M.I.A.´s "Kala" album, the first Santigold and Major Lazer albums. In 2024 it is still a secret club weapon that didn´t lose its cutting edge character. The "Sex-O-Matic" vinyl also includes two baile funk remixes by OG´s DJ Edgar and Sany Pitbull as well as a reggaeton remix by Edu K himself. Yes, already in 2006, we blended reggaeton with baile funk! Extra bonus is the acappella.

Grab the vinyl quick as we only have 10 copies for sale. Make sure to also look out for other vinyls from our back catalogue from our Bandcamp page.

Happy to share a new DANIEL HAAKSMAN edit with you!

Originally recorded in 1979 in Paris but only released independently in Brazil in 1981, Fernando Falcão´s "Curimão" was released on the "Memória Das Aguas" album. Originally a much sought after record, it was re-released by Selva Discos in 2019.

Its mastermind, Fernando Falcão, left Brasil in 1968 during the peak of military dictatorship and moved to France, where he lived in exile for 15 years. There, after working in music, acting, and sculpting, he involved himself in Jérôme Savary's legendary Grand Magic Circus, where he met his first wife, Valérie Kling. It was from this relationship that a partnership began between the musician and his father-in-law, the artist François-Xavier Lalanne, who guided Falcão in the process of inventing sound sculptures such as the balauê – a horizontal version of the berimbau string instrument whose sound was influenced by a water stream (since there was a hose soaking parts of the balauê wet during the performances). Much of this exploration and experimentation resulted in the album "Memória das Águas", from which "Curimão" stems from.

A long time fan of Fernando Falcão´s music, Daniel Haaksman now enhanced „Curimão“ with heavy bass and turned this rare groove into a club friendly DJ track. It´s #1 in the "More Black Atlantica Edits" series which will kick off on Man Recordings in Janaury. It´s predecessor, "Black Atlantica Edits" was released on BBE records early 2020.
