Jaap Ligthart returns on Manual Music's MNL label after his 'Saffier EP' debut earlier this year. In the meantime he also released a stunning remix for NY Fan on Manual Music next to other releases and remixes on various labels. 'Hasseldub' is a proper club banger, funky and moving without losing the focus on warmth and melodies. On remix duties we welcome back another MNL resident, PHM! This Bulgarian producer has already done two releases on the young label, and now he transforms 'Hasseldub' into a hypnotic techno tune, trademark PHM style!

Who the hell is Fatso? He is part guy and part monster. Monster Fatso lives by eating music, that’s why human Fatso is constantly up against it crafting tightly produced jacking club-noise in the studio. It’s no easy job satisfying that damn fat thing...

Dustin Nantais caught our ear after numerous quality releases and remixes on various underground labels. This Toronto based talent will release a full EP on MNL shortly, but first he takes on remix duties for Fatso's fine 'Asteria' track here.

JSPR is a Rotterdam based producer who you might remember from his earlier release on Manual Music's latest Manualism compilation on which he teamed up with Reinier Zonneveld to bring us the track titled 'Flat'. His first solo effort 'A Duck, Boys and Girls' was featured on the most recent 'Tour The Traum' compilation and now he's back with two fresh solo tracks, making his debut on Manual Music's MNL imprint.

The title track 'Rosy Bee' is a groovy little number built around dreamy harps and soundscapes. Loopy yet very infectious, not in the last place because of the immensely funky bassline this song contains. 'Journey Through Shadows' takes things in a more classic tech-house / techno direction. Moving yet deep and mysterious packed with effective stabs and loops. It doesn't matter if you're a progressive-, tech house- or techno DJ; JSPR delivers two cross-genre tracks suitable for a wider audience!

Release date: April 14 2014

Vincent Leijen is a talented young producer from The Netherlands who describes his style as a blend between old school house elements and various techno influences while keeping it all very danceable. With 'Melusine', his first release within the Manual family, Vincent shows his more warm and melodic sound. A record that will appeal to both progressive house as well as (melodic) techno DJ's that comes in two versions; the slightly more mainstream original and a dub version in which Vincent has stripped away the more trancey elements from the song. Pick your favorite!

Release date: May 12 2014

Arno Motz is a producer from The Netherlands who has been playing drums and guitar since an early age. When he discovered Ableton a couple of years ago a whole new world of possibilities opened for him and he was hooked, quickly resulting in numerous releases on various underground labels like ADRO Records and Callote. 

His never ending creativity results in a unique blend of choppy almost minimalistic-like beats and percussion arrangements combined with warm and sometimes roaring synth melodies, all very dance floor friendly, full of energy and full of drive and a proper doses of funk.

'King Of Clubs EP' is his debut within the Manual family. Have a listen and discover the awesome talents of Arno Motz!

The man behind our latest signing Fractal Architect is Daniel Watts, a UK based father of four who lives in the idyllic village of Weston Super Mare. When he send us his 'Crystalline' track we fell in love with it on first listen. It's one of those songs you only come across on rare occasion. Euphoric melodies on a layer of crispy progressive breaks complemented with every day life background rumble, this is a real stellar performance by this Brit! 

On the b-side you'll find the 'Hologroove' track. More four-to-the-floor this one, but with the same quirkiness and crisp production values as the title track, 'Hologroove' soaks it's progressive flowing soundscapes on a bed of minimalistic beats and percussion.

Fractal Architect truly brings something unique to the table here, averse to genre borders which makes it both interesting- and suitable for many openminded electronic music listeners out there.

Release date: June 9th, 2014

Logiztik Sounds - Illumine

Logiztik Sounds is the alter ego for Nicolas Silvano, a South American DJ and producer who has released on infamous labels such as Global Underground, Traum, Vapour, Sprout and Sasha’s prestigious emFire label, to name a few.

He has made his debut on the Dutch Manual Music label last year with the release of his ‘Marioneta’ single, shortly followed by a remix for Qbical and more recently ‘Illumine’, the first single from his debut album ‘Metamorphosis’.

As a key player in today’s dance music world, his music can not be pigeonholed in just one genre.

On ‘Metamorphosis’ Logiztik Sounds explores the boundaries of melodic techno with a progressive twist, alternated with a couple of delightful downtempo moments of relative ease, only to switch back full force to something more boombastic and ‘in your face’ every now and then. It’s one of those albums that’s suitable for both DJ’s for it’s club friendly cuts, as well as serving the public with a fine listening experience.

We're very happy to present to you the debut release of Eagles & Butterflies within the Manual family. We've signed no less than 4 singles from this talented Englishman, to be released over the remainder of 2013 on our Manual Music and MNL labels. His refreshing sound already saw him releasing on labels such as Bedrock and Sudbeat + he has recently remixed the legendary Felix The Housecat as well, and on top of that he's one of this seasons' Space Ibiza residents! Long story short: there's no stopping Eagles & Butterflies!

On 'Clandestin EP' he drops two phat instrumental downtempo tracks, 'Solar Flare' and 'Crescendo', whilst 'Mantra' takes things to the floor with some proper summer deepness (and dopeness). A perfect summer debut by one of our new resident artists. Enjoy!
