As from catalogue number Man 044, Man Recordings will no longer manufacture vinyl records. It´s a sad decision, but the recent bankruptcy of our distribution agent MDM and the increasingly difficult taks of making a profit from selling records we decided: No more vinyls!
This comes with mixed feelings: I adore vinyl for its sound, it´s cover artwork culture, it´s longevity. There´s no better thing to dig in your own record collection and find a long-forgotton vinyl that still sounds dope today. But nevertheless: Vinyl for dance music is increasingly less wanted, the average of sales figures for a dance music 12″ is nowadays 250-400 copies sold – worlwide. And this is not only concering Man Recordings releases but rumours say that even hyped up labels like Edbanger dont break the 500 vinyl barrier.
When you continously dont sell enough product to break even, you have to switch to a format that is easy to manufacture and distribute: Digital. And finally, let´s face it: No one plays vinyls in clubs anymore, except for disco or minimal DJs. No big sorrows please, vinyl has to go. So we can still continue to put out good music in the future.

I love this on so many levels. I can’t even begin to try to intellecualize it and tell you why. I’ve watched the video like 5 times already. I want every hook and adlib in the world to be done by Yo-landi Vi$$er. Currently I am only listening to this on youtube and listening to The XX on my ipod (not at the same time of course). Big shout out to Seiji for letting me know about this one.

Computer Juice is Riton and Seiji. I like the tune, and I like the video. It makes me want to go out and smash stuff up in an animated world too. Look out for Seiji (he’s the pineapple in the video) EP on MAN Recordings later this year.
Yeahhh! We are very happy to present: SCHLACHTHOFBRONX´s smashing new release the “Ayoba EP”, out tomorrow on Man Recordings digital!
Within only a year, these Bavarian Ravemeisters stormed the hearts of a global audience with their irresistable, full-on party bangers that nurture from Jamaican Dancehall, Angolan Kuduro, Trinidad carnival sounds, Rio Baile Funk, Dirty South and Balkan beats all at once. Call it the trans world rave beat hotpotch, all mixed up in a hyper energetic, maximal dancefloor sound – with prime time support by global players such as DIPLO, SINDEN and DANIEL HAAKSMAN. After their critically acclaimed album on Disko B and extensive touring through Europe, the “Bronx Guys” return with another slammin’ release – the “Ayoba EP”.
The EP kicks off with leading tune “Ayoba” (a South African slang word meaning “cool”, “alright”). It features the South African glam rap prince from Soweto, SPOEK MATHAMBO of SWEAT X and PLAYDOE, with whom SCHLACHTHOFBRONX have collaborated on various tracks on their debut album. Together with female MC GNUCCI BANANA, SPOEK rants over the mad tropical beats of SCHLACHTHOFBRONX. “Vem Que Tem” feat. MC MARINA brings the two Bavarians to a baile funk party, where they add their hi-speed beats to the savvy lyrics of Rio based MC MARINA which sings on how she’s shaking her derrier at a baile funk party. Baile Funk meets Ghetto Tech and UK Bassline in this track, which has been a steady sure shot in the high-powered SCHLACHTHOFBRONX live sets.
“Sai Safarda” (”Watch Out, you little bastard”) feat. MC LEKA is another baile funk inspired track. Leka has already contributed on “Para De Graçinha” on the CROOKERS produced Funk Mundial #3 release on Man Recordings, and returns with another strong female macho rap on what she’ll do to the girls that take away her husband. Last but not least it’s time to return to the Middle European melody complex, with “Tulum”, another steady guest in the SCHLACHTHOFBRONX live sets. Imagine a Bavarian accordeon-player accidentally landing in the studio of a Angolan Kuduro producer and there you have “Tulum”, call it “Bavarian Afro Schranz”, this tune certainly is bridging styles trans-continentally.
SCHLACHTHOFBRONX = AYOBA!

Just back from my internet/cell phone free holidays and I see everyone’s been posting 2009 lists and I can’t resist posting mine. However, it’s more album orientated and less dancefloor driven than the others, which accurately reflects my year…
Dengue Fever - Sleepwalking through the Mekong
Fuck Buttons - Tarot Sport
DJ Sprinkles aka Terre Thaemlitz - Midtown 120 blues
Position Normal - s/t cassette
Fever Ray - Fever ray
Steve Hauschildt – Critique of the Beautiful
DJ Hell - Teufelswerk
Céu – Vagarosa
Limits of Control (Jim Jarmusch) soundtrack
Cidadão Instigado - UHUUU!
King Midas Sound - Waiting for You
There you go, dozens more that I can’t think of right now. Happy new year to y’all.
