If you’ve been reading Truants closely over the past couple of years, you’ll know we’ve sung Manchester-based collective Swing Ting’s praises on a number of occasions. Originally formed as a radio show, Swing Ting now manifests itself as a clubnight and a record label, championing their own productions within UK club and soundsystem culture. The nights tend to swamp Soup Kitchen with bashment, dancehall, azonto, soca, hip-hop, RnB and grime. Amongst the residents are integral characters Balraj Samrai and Ruben Platt, who’ve also been major proponents of Swing Ting as a label. Brackles, Fox, Trigganom, Famous Eno and Madd Again! - a collaboration between Zed Bias, Killa Benz, Specialist Moss and Trigga - have all featured on the label, as have productions from Samrai and Platt themselves. We premiered “Bad Riddim” back in March, a weighty instrumental backed with the Trigganom-featuring earworm “One Step”. Knowing how capable the pair are on the decks as well as in the studio, we figured it was high time we asked them for a Truancy Volume - what we didn’t know was how outrageous the end result would be. There’s no other way to put it, Samrai and Platt fully throw down in the mix and they’ll leave you feeling wavy for days.

After a successful 2017 which saw them release the debut EP, tour Poland with the climax reached at the renowned Unsound Festival and perform for the first time abroad in December, Polish-Angolan duo Lua Preta (Mentalcut + Supa Gia G) are back with a double single to kick off a new year! 

First up is 'Quero Mais' which brings a direct connection to Africa with the presence of another long-time Basy Tropikalne favourite - Morena Leraba from Lesotho. One of the continent's most distinctive voices famously appeared on Spoek Mathambo's album last year, also published a bunch of singles (including a collaboration with DJ Spoko) and now contributes his energetic verses to the track. The single marks also the first time we hear Supa Gia G in her full glory on rapping duties as she light-heartedly tells the story about her weekend preparations and plans. 

On the virtual flip-side there's gqom-inspired 'Somnilokwie' which already gained attention from the main man Branko himself who premiered it in his NTS Radio show. This instrumental beauty is another proof of Mentalcut's abilities to reinterpret African inspirations and current trends and take them to the next level with his modern electronic music additions.

Daniel Haaksman´s "La Añoranza" ft. Coco Maria, Dengue Dengue Dengue and Ori Kaplan has become a bit of a surprise underground hit lately. Praised and played out by DJs such as Branko, Populous, Tash LC and King Doudou while receiving global radio airplay from Mexico to New Zealand as well as placements on various big Spotify playlists, the lead single off Daniel´s acclaimed “With Love, From Berlin” album has grown into a secret tropical slow-jam-bomb.

To extend the worldwide heat surrounding “La Añoranza”, we decided to add additional remixes to the sizzle. Remix one is by Spanish reggaeton and dancehall don Merca Bae, who has lately mesmerized the world with his slick remixes and productions. Merca Bae´s rework manouvers the formerly Kizomba rooted “La Añoranza” greatly into the dembow continuum. Remix two is by Lisbon hot ticket Rastronaut, one of the rising talents of the Enchufada crew. His remix makes “La Añoranza” playable for the more uptempo club heads. Remix three is by Rotterdam jack-of-all-trades-bass, Omar Duro, who has delivered a great Tamborzão version. 

And finally, by popular demand, there´s the instrumental version of “La Añoranza” for all you tarraxo and zouk bass fans out there.

Play it out loud!

Moonshine invite Pierre Kwenders - 10 Février 2020

We can hardly believe it ourselves, but our little label just turned fifteen. In human terms it would mean we´re teenagers in full swing, in dance music terms it´s like we´re silver agers. In the fast paced world of dance we´ve seen a lot of trends come and go. We´ve also seen artist careers rising quickly to the top and then suddenly crumbling. And despite the profound changes in the musical landscape, we´re still here and people still play our music. One of the reasons is that we stuck to our original aim: To release exciting music from around the world. And the interest in local music styles from outside the Anglo-Saxon cultural sphere has risen.

Since Man 01, the "Não Wave - Brazilian Post Punk 1979-1988" compilation, we were especially keen on blending local roots with the global in music, which has become a mega trend in pop and dance music. When we started the label in 2005 the internet was still a privilige of the Northern hemisphere and people were still buying vinyls and CDs.

Since we can´t throw a big celebration for our anniversary due to pandemic restrictions, we decided to put together a compilation with remixes of fifteen tracks from our catalogue. We asked young and upcoming remixers that grew up with the Man Recordings sound over all these years, to put their hand onto selected tracks and rework them 2020 style. 

The line up is great and the remixes even greater. The "15 Years Of Man Recordings" compilation features reworks by Ckrono, Lorenzo BITW, 2Pekes, Rolv.K, Kensaye, KG, Don Low, Bianca Oblivion and So Vital amongst others. There´s some super fresh takes on our former releases, and some solid club compatible bangers. They all resonate that Man Recordings is here to stay!
