On our seventh release, Man/ipulate encapsulates Watatsumi’s spirit, the legendary water dragon. Known as the ruler of the seas and god of the oceans, he would control storms and rainfalls, protect its waters and transform into animals and human forms making him one of the most influential creatures in Japanese mythology.

Our sensei Man/ipulate starts with ‘Dimension’ a perfect gem filled with swinging percussions and groovy rhythms, followed by ‘1st Date’, which is definitely to look forward to. On the flip-side comes ‘Watatsumi’, an absolute charm as if it were controlling the sea’s movement from calm to storm. To end things in beauty, ‘Make It Sweat’ literally speaks for itself, a powerful punchy track delivering the dragon’s message from his underwater palace.

SlapFunk are back once again with another solid EP made to freak your speakers and terrorise your tweeters. This time however they dig 4 killer club cuts from the vaults of their extended family and VBX resident Ferro.

Mostly known for his prowess behind the decks, Ferro is also skilled in the studio as these minimal stripped down grooves show whilst continuing the maximal funk of the previous double EP release by Tommy Vicari Jnr.

All four tracks have an improvised live feel with arrangements that subtly evolve whilst smacking and slapping in all the right places, guaranteed to get the heads down and fists punching the air. Tried and tested there’s no doubt that this EP will deliver on the dancefloor.

It’s with great pleasure that we get to not only present some of the best dutch talent again on the label but also a dear friend of the SlapFam.
