Lua Preta (@luapreta) is an Angolan/Polish duo that has taken the global bass scene by storm in the past few years. Since the end of 2017 they managed to put out a series of successful releases, play a great deal of well-received shows at festivals and clubs all over Europe (plus two gigs in New York), shoot a bunch of music videos (one of them being filmed in Lisbon) and catch attention of @brankoofficial himself who remixed their song for his renowned 'Enchufada Na Zona' compilation. In 2020 they went on to prepare a debut album called 'Diaspora' - a seven tracks collection showcasing their characteristic catchy Afro sound which included 'Baile Lotus' (played by Diplo in his BBC Radio 1 show), 'Vim Para Vencer' (collaboration with South African rapper Robin Thirdfloor) and 'Drena' (featured in an official Spotify playlist by Adidas).

Now five of the songs from the last year's release come back with new versions prepared by producers from five different countries. United States' @tonyquattro highlights Ms. Gia's vocals from 'Drena' and freshens up the beat by adding guitar riffs and swirling flutes. @djraff, one of the most important electronic music artists from Chile, skilfully slows down 'Baile Lotus' and in an unexpected turn of events pairs it with cumbia turning the track into a Latin-flavoured beauty. Further into the release, Africa's star producer @gafacci adds his signature style to the instrumental side of 'Ao Som Dos Homens' - but don't worry: Ghanaian's famous 'shut your mouth I beg eh' vocal hook is very much there.

'Diaspora Remixes' finishes off with two remixes by European artists. Firstly, original vocals take the centre stage again in the club-ready rework of 'Sente Batida' by respected Italian producer @lamentomusic. Last but not least, French drum master @ruffkaval provides a perfect closing track with his wonderfully crafted version of 'RTE' which has been enriched by additional thumping patterns and... birdsongs.

El Buga vs Quarteto Em Cy - Agua De Beber (Baile Trap Bootleg)

It´s been almost 9 months since Daniel Haaksman´s laid back “With Love, From Berlin” album was released, and looking back to its release date from today, it has stayed fresh all those months and is still being discovered by new listeners. The album and its many single releases have stayed afloat particularly because of the steady flow of high-class remixes by piping hot producers such as Kelman Duran, Merca Bae, Rastronaut, Lazy Flow or godfathers like Mad Professor which came out since the album´s release, accompanying the single releases to the album

Now its the time to put out a whole batch of additional tracks of “With Love, From Berlin” to the world which haven´t been remixed yet. As with the remixer cast of the single releases, the list of producers who were comissioned for retouching is flaming, upcoming hotness.

Brasilia based producer and DJ kLap, who´s weekly releases of baile funk remixes is turning heads on Soundcloud and beyond has reworked the album´s debut single “Overture” in a 150 bpm style, currently all the rage in baile funk. New York´s Atropolis, much in demand expert in the low frequency level blending of various global sounds reshaped “Love Horns” into a deep, trap style remix. German hot ticket Paul Mond, hyped by the Soulection crew amongst others for his acoustic guitar driven, bass heavy mash ups, made a fantastic samba-trap version from “Como Sera” ft. Lavoisier. Originally a fado inspired song, Paul Mond spun the melancholic original into a sunny, Brazil bass grenade, playing all additional instruments himself! Avernian + Strick, currently praised as the emerging hard drum king pins, remade “Occupy Berlin” ft. Kalaf + She´s Drunk into a Berghain compatible club monster. And finally Moscow´s Fisky, who also shaped “Wolkenreise” into a melancholic hard drum version.

All in all containing nine remixes, “With Love, From Berlin – Remixes” will show the greatness of the original album in contemporary club mode. Now play the remixes out loud!

Love Horns (Atropolis Remix)

Sault´s "Black Is" album was my favourite album of 2020 and as I wanted to play out some of its tunes in DJ mixes for radio, I made a samba dub version of "Don´t Shoot Guns Down" adding Brazilian flavour to the original track . Samba, since it originally emerged in Rio de Janeiro in the 1920s, was always a source of joy yet often contained political lyrics dealing with current social and political issues. So what better groove format for my edit to enhance Sault´s original track which addresses the ongoing police violence against Black people.

Northern Italy, particularly Milan and the Veneto area have always been very open minded when it comes to new club sounds. Italy´s best tropical bass night, "Balera Favela" is hosted in Milan by Ckrono, Milangeles are stemming from Milan and Lamento has been founder of the "Muevelo o Mundo" club nights in the town of Bassano Del Grappa in the Veneto area. Many Man Recordings artists have DJed in clubs of this North Italian network.

Now Lamento, aka Andrea Campagnolo, releases his debut release on Man Recordings. A passionate record collector, Lamento has been digging music from the Southern hemisphere for years, particularly African wax. For his debut, he channels voice recordings from the Mongo people who live in the equatorial forest of Central Africa.

"Balama" comes with an all Italian remix-line up, including a tribally influenced remix by Lorenzo BITW, a UK funky inspired remix by Ckrono and a deeped-out trap remix by The Clerk.
