Here´s a recent radio mix João did for the radio show of Berlin´s Shir Khan:

Mix João Brasil for DJ Shir Khan by MANRECORDINGS

João Brasil is certainly only one of the most talented yound Brasilian producers of today. With his costum made music interfaces that include a Wii controller baile funk beat box or a 2 x 2 meter sized MPC, João Brasil has raised heads across the planet. But most of all João is extending the boundaries of music with his amazing mash-ups. For 2010, João aims for a truly giant project: To produce and release a mashup every day. Titled “365 mashups for 2010″, you can download the daily made tracks from his newly installed “365″ blog:

http://365mashups.wordpress.com/

Here´s the first two mashups he did:

Jan 2nd

365 Interlude (João Brasil) by lontramusic

P.S. If you´re in Berlin on Jan 14th, make sure to come down to “Heat” @ WMF, where I´ll play with João Brasil. João will perform beforehand at Berlin´s Radialsystem in the “Baroque Series” in which electronica producers clash with a chamber orchestra. “Baroque Series” will bestaged in Hamburg on Jan 16th. More news and footage of this performance soon on these pages.

2009 has been a great year for dance music. Fresh tracks and new genres popped up from all four corners of the globe, while mainstream pop music has been the most boring since years (err, could anyone name one serious chart storming tune for 2009?) . As the year is coming to an end, it’s time to do what most bloggers do aka. make the ‘best of the year’ lists. Here’s some of our favourite tunes in 2009. With a lot of hot new stuff in the oven for Man Recordings (Schlachthofbronx EP,  Beware-Motorpitch EP, Edu K EP, Bert On Beats EP, Seiji EP, Isa GT EP produced by Crookers, Daniel Haaksman album, Man Rec 5 Years compilation) 2010 is going to be even bigger!

I was on Sinden´s Kiss FM show last Wednesday, talkin a bit with Sinden on Man Recordings and playing upcoming stuff. Listen to my slot here:

Daniel Haaksman on Sinden Kiss FM 3/12/09 by Daniel Haaksman / Man Rec

Almost half a year after the closing of Berlin´s Scala club, where we had our last regular club residency, we are now happy to announce the start of a new monthly club event in Berlin. The night is called “Heat” and will be every 2nd Thursday on the small floor at piping hot WMF club in Mitte.

Our very first guest at Heat next Thursday (10th of Dec) is DJ Beware. On January 14th there is João Brasil and February 11th Wildlife!. Every three months a Heat special will be staged on the big floor at WMF, the first is on Jan 30th with Sinden, Drop The Lime, Schlachthofbronx, Ku Bo Live and myself. Berlin, the heat is on!

The deadline for the Ku Bo remix contest is over, we are currently evaluating the contributions. In between, we are releasing the official “KU BO REMIX” EP today, both on vinyl and in digital format.

After three critically acclaimed single releases on Man Recordings, remixes for Adam Sky (Exploited Rec), El Guincho (Mad Decent) and Schlachthofbronx, and the licenses of the tracks „Lefe“ for the „I Love Techno“ compilation by Crookers, as well as „Tsu Bo“ for the Fabric Live 49 Mix by Buraka Som Sistema, Ku Bo returns with a mind blowing remix EP. This is the new chapter for Ku Bo, the Afro tec project by Stereotyp from Vienna, Austria (of G-Stone / Crunchtime fame).

“Ku Bo Remix” presents eight remixes by classic and upcoming heat from Ku Bo. The release includes remixes by DJ Manaia, Batida, Daniel Haaksman, Flore, Robot Koch, Bert On Beats, Lazy Ants and Caski.

We give you the banging remix by Man Recordings boss Daniel Haaksman of “Sumanita” feat. Daniecell for free. With 145 BPM, it’s the fastest tempoed remix on this EP package, but nevertheless very floor friendly – imagine Dutch gabba blended with Angolan kuduro in a Cuban dancehall.

Buy the full release from today digitally at Beatport, Itunes, Junodownload etc. or on vinyl at www.manrecordings.com

“Pobum Coco” still causes a lot of mayhem on the dancefloors, see this live video from UK DJ Mr.Paul:

The vinyl release includes remixes by Edu K, DJ Rob 3, João Brasil, Schlachthof Bronx and Consistent. The digital release has extra remixes by Zombie Disco Squad and Sharkslayer.

For the same track Chicago’s ghetto don Rob Threezy brings the big bass drums in his DJ Rob 3 remix, which will bang any Ghetto floor. Rio De Janeiro’s hot new talent João Brasil twists “Kid Conga” into a Tecno Brega track, the sizzling new sound of Brasil’s Amazon area.

Edu K delivers – as a world debut – a Minimal Techno meets Forro interpretation of “Kid Conga”- Imagine Brasil’s Northen power folk meeting up in a Berlin techno club. For the same track Chicago’s ghetto don Rob Threezy brings the big bass drums in his DJ Rob 3 remix, which will bang any Ghetto floor. Rio De Janeiro’s hot new talent João Brasil twists “Kid Conga” into a Tecno Brega track, the sizzling new sound of Brasil’s Amazon area.

Sharkslayer from Helsinki produced a block rocking remix of the anthemic “Pobum Coco”, which already set many dancefloors on fire. Zombie Disco Squad reworked “Senta Senta Mais Uma Vez” in their trademark style – in which the drugged out ecstasy of Berlin’s Panoramabar melts into the frenzy of a Rio baile funk party.

Munich’s Schlachthofbronx, who reworked “Jesus” featuring Tati Quebra Barraco and created a rough and rugged interpretation – call it Bavaria Soca Dancehall.

„Deixa Tocar“ by Berlin’s Consistent (of Frontroom Records fame). Their remix picked the original’s horns and mounted them on an irresistable, French house resembling, dancefloor filler, which already produced hands up in the air wherever played.

Seven remixes with styles that range from Disco House to Tecno Brega to Bmore Beats – the kaleidoscopic sound of Daniel Haaksman gets the appropriate poly-stylistic treatment on „Gostoso Remix“.

The full tracklist is:

DANIEL HAAKSMAN
GOSTOSO REMIX

1. KID CONGA (EDU K MINIMAL FORRO REMIX)
2. KID CONGA (DJ ROB 3 REMIX)
3. KID CONGA (JOÃO BRASIL TECNO BREGA MIX)
4. POBUM COCO (SHARKSLAYER REMIX)
5. SENTA SENTA MAIS UMA VEZ (ZOMBIE DISCO SQUAD REMIX)
6. JESUS FEAT. TATI (SCHLACHTHOFBRONX REMIX)
