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.

"Rua Rosa, 24", the new EP by Lisbon´s Pedro da Linha, is his way of getting back on track with music of his own. He feels very grateful for all the experiences he had in the last few years, from the people hee had the privilege of working with to all who have come and continue to dance with him.
This EP is, in a way, a summary of all that - of songs Pedro has been listening to since he was a kid, of the place that welcomes him every month, of ideas exchanged with friends and family, of the mix of everything he heard at home and on the street.
Out today! "Rua Rosa, 24" the new EP by Lisbon´s Pedro da Linha. Listen to it on all major platforms, grab it from our Bandcamp page!

Pedro Da Linha, formerly know as PEDRO, is a Portuguese producer and DJ who has been making waves in the underground music scene for several years. With a passion for blending different genres, his EP on Man Recordings, titled "Rua Rosa, 24," showcases Pedro Da Linha's love for rural clubbing. The tracks on the EP are inspired by an ongoing research of popular music in his hometown Lisbon and working with sounds, tunes and chords that are not so frequent to hear on a clubbing night. From accordions to high pitched voices, all gets blended in a warm and round beat that takes on a journey through several neighbourhoods of the Portuguese capital.

You may remember "Lluvia" ft. Çantamarta, which remixed in 2020. It´s a deep, melancholic Latin bass song that was streamed more than 1 million times on Spotify since its release.
Now has made another track with Andalucian-Venezuelan-Colombian trio Çantamarta and we're happy to announce that "Supervivencia" is out now! It´s the fourth single release from Daniel's upcoming "Sonido Lava" album, out on 14th of April.
"Supervivencia" (Spanish for "survival") reverberates the trans atlantic melancholy vibe for which Çantamarta have became famous for in the Ibero-American world and beyond. Mixing elements from his native Venezuela and Colombia with Andalucian blue notes, singer Luis Lozano reflects about a cooled off love affair and how to relight its former fire. Daniel added his trademark sonorous sounds and a demanding synth line, and the result is a pretty irresistible low end Latin ballad, which we´ll quite likely will be hearing lots in the months to come

We´re super excited to announce the release of DANIEL HAAKSMAN´s new single "Bruja" ft. MALAGÜERA + Los Bulldozer
It´s the third single from his upcoming album "Sonido Lava" (out 14th of April) and this time, rumba is calling!
“Bruja” (Spanish for “witch”) is transatlantic, dembow inspired tune, fusing Latin American grooves and vibes with German electronic sounds.
Vocal features are by Chilean multidisciplinary artist MALAGÜERA, with whom Daniel has already worked on the 2022 release “La Mujer Dormida”.
In "Bruja", MALAGÜERA sings about a witch who is purifying her soul through dance and fire. Just as "La Mujer Dormida" is inspired by the legend of the Mexican volcano Iztaccihuatl, this song is inspired by the legend of the witch that surrounds the Masaya volcano in Nicaragua.
Additional guitars in “Bruja” are by LosBulldozer , which have their own particular way of bringing international influences like soukous, West-African blues and post-punk to the already exquisite musical diversity of key Colombian styles such as currulao, champeta, and reggaeton. Daniel worked with Los Bulldozer already for his 2016 album "African Fabrics" on tracks like "Akabongi", "Sembene" or "Sabado".

"Magma", the second single from 's upcoming album "Sonido Lava", is putting pressure on the dancefloor. With a set of string stabs, a rolling UK funky inspired beat and a surprise bossa nova breakdown , "Magma" is a hot DJ
tool ready to get clubs in volcanic excitement.
Besides its dancefloor heat production, "Magma" and its music video, directed by Polish artist , reflect on the current, multi crisis moment we´re living through. It´s like we´re living in magma times, gliding on a fluid ground to uncertainty, not knowing whether our future will be hellish or if mankind still manages to let reason reign. Maybe it´s also likely that on the cooled parts of the former magma, fruitful ground will emerge, giving life to new hopes and possibilites. After all, Magma is deep underneath all our feet.

We´re happy to announce the new release of the new single "La Mujer Dormida" featuring Berlin based, Chilean singer 𝑀𝒜𝐿𝒜𝒢Ü𝐸𝑅𝒜] on the microphone.
“La Mujer Dormida” (“The sleeping woman”) is inspired by a volcano in Mexico called Iztaccíhuatl, between the state of Mexico and Puebla. This volcano also received the name “The sleeping woman", because its form resembles the one of a woman lying on her back. In Aztec mythology, Iztaccíhuatl was a princess who died in grief waiting for her beloved and the gods turned her into a volcano covered in snow.
The song lyrics of “La Mujer Dormida” are also based on the poem "Volcán Osorno" by Chilean poet Gabriela Mistral, in which she admires the Osorno volcano and its surrounding landscapes, near lake Llanquihue, in the very south of the huge Latin American continent. In the song lyrics, 𝑀𝒜𝐿𝒜𝒢Ü𝐸𝑅𝒜] talks as if she was in love with the flame mountain, admiring and adoring it, getting intoxicated by its beauty, its landscape and powerful force.
This is the first single from ´s upcoming, fourth album "Sonido Lava" scheduled for a spring 2023 release on

Watch Timo Maas dropping his remix of DANIEL HAAKSMAN´s "Magma", out tomorrow as part of the "Sonido Lava Remixes" EP!
“Danza Del Fuego” is the fifth single release from Daniel Haaksman´s recent “Sonido Lava” album. Released as an instrumental only on the album, “Danza Del Fuego” is now dropped as a vocal version featuring the mighty MALAGÜERA, who has already contributed vocals on earlier singles “La Mujer Dormida” and “Bruja”. Analogous to the “Sonido Lava” album´s topic of volcanoes and eruptions as signifyers for change, “Danza Del Fuego” adds another page in the album´s story with lyrics about the fire dance we´re currently all going through in this multi crisis time. With its Diwali riddim inspired groove, a simple yet punchy accordeon hook and the bewichting vocals of MALAGÜERA, “Danza Del Fuego” is both radio friendly ear worm and a club ready tune. The single comes enhanced with a heavy bassed 808 version, in which in early Plastikman vibes 808 drums roll out underneath the irresistible accordeon hook.

"Pau" is the new single by Daniel Haaksman. It´s a baile funk inspired track that fuses European electronica melodies with the big, saucy beats from Rio De Janeiro, which seem to pop up left and right in clubs at the moment. For Daniel, who´s been promoting baile funk culture since the early 2000´s with his seminal “Rio Baile Funk Favela Booty Beats” compilations, it´s a musical return to his roots. The track is inspired by a recent Rio visit, where Daniel had a daily view from his hotel room of Rio´s famous landmark, the sugar loaf mountain ("Pão De Acuçar" in Portuguese). Morning, day and night, he observed the many colors and shades that would put the surrounding landscape of the sugar loaf mountain in a constant, fascinating change of lights (as illustrated in the accompanying music video for “Pau”). The result of these inspiring moments led to the creation of “Pau”, which also embodies the various faces of Rio, the happy and joyful city of beaches, beautiful landscapes and elegance, as well as the dark and sinister sides of social inequality and inner city violence. The track´s title is of equal duality. It´s a word play between the Portuguese word for “Pão” meaning “loaf of bread” and the Brazilian portuguese slang word for the male genital, pronounced almost equally, but written “Pau”. As in life, things, words, lights have two sides. Get it / stream it from all major platforms.

@danielhaaksman played at a @bossafmeuropa ‘s baile funk party last Saturday here in Berlin. This video shows him dropping the “Todo Mundo” track by Seiji, which we released as #4 in our Funk Mundial series in 2007 - almost fifteen years ago. Back then, baile funk was still strictly a Rio thing, and not the global pop sound that has birthed international chart hits such as “Bum Bum Tam Tam” or “Malandra”. For us as Berliners, the series was a necessity as we were asking: How could baile funk sound when it’s mixed with bass music from Europe and could be better intergrated in club DJ sets? Thank god, our vision beared fruits and now the funk x bass cross-pollinations are everywhere. It’s great to see that our old tracks still bomb the dance floor and didn’t lose their relevance fifteen years later. #FunkMundial #BaileFunk #ConexaoBerlimRio #TodoMundo
