Today is carneval and we are happy to give away two smashing carnival mixtapes for you to free download.
Mixtape 1 is by Joyce Muniz, one of the cats on the mike at Ku Bo and parallely, one of the few females in the “tropical” DJ circuit that knows her steez. Joyce´s 2010 carneval mixtape brings samba fueled new tropical house from our favourite artists all in the mix. Download it from here:
Mixtape 2 is by Baile Funk Master Sany Pitbull from Rio De Janeiro who has send us his “TwitterFoliaMix2010″ which is actually a pretty amazing blend of baile funk and samba – perfect to blast any carneval party into pieces.
If you happen to be in Berlin this Thursday, come down to WMF where we´ll host #3 in the HEAT-Party series. Our special guest for the night is WILDLIFE!, the man who made the beats for Terry Lynn´s “Kingstonlogic” album and recently banged out some amazing remixes. Start: 11pm, Admission: 6 €
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.

Fashion and music icon Pharrell Williams recently took part in an on-stage interview at the Midem conference which focused on the world of music business. The 40 minute talk focused on various aspects of Pharrell Williams’ approach to work and some key things including his favorite producer and upcoming projects involving Jay-Z and Hans Zimmer on a 3-D CGI film, Despicable Me.
I am a fan of Banksy’s humorous approach to street art, and this trailer does not disappoint.

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.
