Ayobaaaa! We are proud to present the winners in the “Ayoba” remix contest today. After receiving more than 100 contributions from all over the globe, we spent hours and hours going through our Soundcloud dropbox. We received a lot of halftime pounding dubstep and wobbel remixes (in fact, a bit too many), there were seriously far-out remixes (the heavy metal remix of Chernobyl, the “Schnitzel” dub remix of Jah Power), a lot of Kuduro inspired remixes (One Man Ben, Barney Iller) and some very well produced remixes (PPP Refix, BamR, DJ Alarm, DJ Densen). In the end, we had to make some tough decisions, there were more than a dozen really good remixes, but we had to cut them down to three. So here´s our nominees:

Jakob / Schlachthofbronx:

Bros Before Hoes
Hood Regulators
Sabbo

Bene / Schlachthofbronx:

Bros Before Hoes
Hood Regulators
Africa Raver

Daniel / Man Rec:

Barney Iller
DJ Chernobyl
One Man Ben

After the jury´s selection was clear, we decided to announce two winners:

BROSBEFOREHOES (France)
AYOBA (BROS BEFORE HOES Remix) by Bros Before Hoes

and

HOOD REGULATORS (Switzerland)
Ayoba! (Hood Regulators Remix) by hoodregulators

CONGRATULATIONS!
And many thanks to all who have participated! This was a truly amazing contest with a lot of new, and unknown talent contributing, which we hope to engage in future projects. The winning remixes will be added to the “Ayoba Remix” EP after they´ve been mastered, expect them to be available end of March.

Wambam, thank you Man! Here´s another free track for y´all to download. It´s the Top Billin´ Remix of “Ayoba”, taken from the “Ayoba” Remix EP which is out today. Additional banging remixes on the release come from Ku Bo, Beataucue, Phon.O, Beware+Motorpitch and myself, oh and Belgian polka funksters Kush did a gutter tested cover version too.

The winners of the “Ayoba” remix contest will be announced coming Wednesday!!!

A while ago I went to the Position Normal website and ordered the Goodly Time LP (buy it! It’s only five quid and it’s wonderful!). Position Normal’s music is difficult to describe, it is as English as a cup of tea and a buttery crumpet, and uses guitar, samples, loops and extracts that recall Britain of a bygone era. It is a sound that is deliberately lo-fi but at the same time very evocative. It is the predecessor of the sound that has been labelled “Hauntalogical” and that the label Ghost box  has gone on to develop and explore. Listen to the ASDA mix by Moon Wiring Club at TheWire.co.uk, and you can hear the influence.

I started exchanging some e-mails with the aforementioned Mr. Normal, and he showed a curiosity about our own Man Recordings, Daniel sent him some Schlachthofbronx track parts and below is the result. I like this a lot, it’s someone who is worlds away from the Man universe putting their own stamp of eccentricity on what is already a bonkers Bavarian baile pile up. vive la différence!

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!

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.

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.

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

2. KID CONGA (DJ ROB 3 REMIX)
3. KID CONGA (JOÃO BRASIL TECNO BREGA MIX)
