It's time for the third part of Callecat's Symbiosis project! For 'Symbiosis' the guys took a unique approach; asking their producer friends and artists they admire to create a song together. After locking themselves up in the studio for a year they ended up with twelve finished collaborations, two of which you'll find here on the third single.

After releasing the collaborations with Paul Hazendonk, Meeting Molly, Juliane Wolf and Forty Cats which all gained loads of support and nice chart positions, now it's time to show you their combined efforts with none less than Hobin Rude and Not Demure, two of the hottest upcoming names of progressive house right now!

Callecat & Not Demure - Recurring Phases

Callecat & Hobin Rude - Infinite Enclosure

An exciting combination of artists here as Mira Nait, Riigs and Paul Hazendonk have teamed up resulting in a truly unique and stand out single 'Waiting For The Sun'.

Dark and melancholic, yet uplifting and infectious, and both 'radio' / 'streaming' friendly- as well as club friendly, 'Waiting For The Sun' has all the ingredients to become one of those tracks that will stand the test of time.

A classy cut by artists who, between them, have seen their music released on labels such as Purified, Get Physical, Diynamic and Toolroom to name a few.

Emerging from the rich underground scene of Rotterdam, the city where Manual Music originated from, we're proud to welcome JESSIN on board for his label debut.

'I Want It' is one of those unique tracks that will stay with you after you've heard it only once. The main melody theme sounds rough and almost metallic, but built on a layer of warm atmospheric pads and synths it's that contrast that makes his song stand out.

Another fast emerging talent hailing from Rotterdam is Susan Right. A regular at well respected events such as Pleinvrees and Komm Schon Alter, this experienced DJ is making waves with her productions as well nowadays, and her remix for 'I Want It' shows exactly why.

The second remix is done by French duo Weltmusik who are known for their releases on labels such as Purified, Faites Leur Des Disques and Pavillonn. They made their Manual debut last December when they released their track 'Deep Waters' on the Manualism XVII album and now we are happy to welcome their rework for 'I Want It' on our label.

We proudly present the fourth part of Callecat's Symbiosis project, the final single before the full album drops! For 'Symbiosis' the guys took a unique approach; asking their producer friends and artists they admire to create a song together. After locking themselves up in the studio for a year they ended up with twelve finished collaborations, two of which you'll find here on the fourth single.

After having released the collaborations with Paul Hazendonk, Meeting Molly, Juliane Wolf, Forty Cats, Hobin Rude and Not Demure, it's now time to showcase what their joined efforts with Fabri Lopez and Nick Varon have resulted in. As you've come to expect when you've been following the Symbiosis project, we're talking pure class progressive house right here.

Callecat & Fabri Lopez - Mutual Horizons

Callecat & Nick Varon - Beyond Perceptions

Ever since its official release back in 2016, 'Far Away' has grown to be a signature tune for Juliane Wolf. Until this day the song is getting a lot of love and support from all around the globe. It has racked up well over 200k plays on Spotify and 150k plays on YouTube so far which is rather impressive for an underground tune, especially considering it was released at a time before music streaming became the industry standard.

Now fast forward to 2024. Loads of things have changed, Juliane Wolf has became a household name by now, but one thing hasn't changed and that is her ability to make beautiful music. We felt the timing was right to revisit this song from the early days of her career and give it a fresh touch. Not only by Juliane herself, but also by none less than MPathy and Kenan Savrun!

Dutch producers Koen and Gijs, aka Callecat, present the hotly anticipated Symbiosis album, released 12th April on Manual Music. Every collaboration is equally as brilliant as the previous, taking you on a blissed-out journey with some of the best producers in electronic music.

Callecat themselves are very much a symbiotic relationship. Koen is more the DJ and Gijs the producer in this union, though both very capable in each field. Their shared sense of humor adds a playful twist to their productions. Their fun loving and light-hearted approach in their Utrecht studio helps bring you some of the best progressive electronic music around.

Callecat feel that making and experiencing music is even more special when you attract other people in it. This inspired them to make this album the way it was made together… In symbiosis: “the interaction between two or more different organisms, to the advantage of both”.

The first track, The Intro sets the scene perfectly for the album and for the dreamy Embracing Nature with Gustin, who brought a beautiful Balearic feel with him from Ibiza. This leads you into The Balance of Being with Bodai, whose organic production style warm vocal tones send you into serenity. Juliane Wolf’s beautiful melodies on Journey of Species seamlessly combine with a compelling danceability and Nick Varon adds deep and groovy melodic twist to Beyond Perceptions.

Hobin Rude’s deep, dark driving vibe resonates from the depths on Infinite Enclosure and Meeting Molly brings the groove and atmosphere on Unified Formulas. Not Demure’s fantastic lead sound shines on Recurring Phases and Paul Hazendonk (head honcho of Manual Music) has an incredible instinct for what makes a dancefloor groove, on State of Mind.

The Wash incorporates the mesmerizing arpeggio to Symbiotic Symphony. Fabri Lopez enriches Mutual Horizons with cool quirky sounds and a beautiful arrangement. Forty Cats’ beautiful melodic moments bring subtle atmospheres to Interconnecting Echoes without it losing Callecat’s edginess.

Around Us are good friends and repeat collaborators with Callecat, their infinite creativity shining through on In Unity We Thrive. By the time The Outro has finished, you will want to put the album back to the start and hear the whole brilliant release again. In fact, the first notes on The Intro match perfectly with the last notes from The Outro, enabling you to loop the album seamlessly. With Symbiosis, Callecat bring you music for the soul that will guide you through 2024. In a time where the world is divided, Koen and Gijs bring you a slice of joy to show what can be achieved when we work together in harmony, with a smile on our faces.
