The talented Spanish duo Cumiks had made their debut on Manual Music not to long ago with a track on the Manualism 5.0 compilation. Now they are back with their single debut on which they team up with vocalist Louder Bays to bring you ‘Infinity’, a big room peak time progressive techno bomb in original and dub versions. On remix duties we’re proud to welcome Monaque and Nadia Struiwigh on board who both debut on Manual Music. Monaque have made name for theirselves with releases and remixes on labels such as Get Physical, Sudbeat, Traum, Vapour, microCastle etc. Nadia Struiwigh is a fast emerging talent from the Rotterdam underground scene who will soon debut with her first single release on our little sister label Cinematique, and she’s also got a release on Estroe’s EevoNext label coming up!

Early support by Hernan Cattaneo, Barry Jamieson, Cora Novoa, Cid Inc, Paul Hazendonk, Dibby Dougherty and many others!

Mono Electric Orchestra is the new project by Barry Jamieson, a name that not so many may be familiar with but would have surely inadvertently come across some of his work. He’s been on the music scene for over two decades, which has seen him working on remixes for Madonna, New Order, Depeche Mode, UNKLE and Seal, to which he was co-nominated for a Grammy. But his experience doesn’t just lie with mainstream artists, as he also worked on remixes for the likes of BT, Bedrock, and Breeder. But of recent, he has spent the last 8 years working alongside Sasha and Charlie May, recording and mixing, especially on the two ground breaking albums by Sasha; Involver and Involver 2.

After having done a remix for Henry Saiz’s Natura Sonoris label last year, this is the first full Mono Electronic Orchestra single release taken from the forthcoming debut album!

It’s that time again for another Cinematique release. This time we welcome to the label a bloke listening to the name Aiden.

You might have not heard much about this young and talented Dutch guy yet but we predict that’s going to change soon. There is a chance you have caught a glimpse of him before as he has made his debut with the track ‘Downstairs’ on the highly acclaimed Loki Story album at the beginning of this year. So it’s about time to discover more from him on this EP.

Aiden delivers four various tracks on this one. He starts off with ‘Jetplane’, a floor filler with a bit of a 80′s Scarface feel. The second track ‘Handcachief’ is a fine piece of music filled with some emotional melodies. Something completely different can be found in ‘Nougat Trees’ which shows Aiden is also capable of making proper offbeat material. The final note on this EP is ‘Mastiff’, an analogue sounding and freaky electronica track. Believe us, this is not the last thing you wi ll hear of Aiden!

Rebekah returns on Stolen Moments after her remix for Matador a couple of months ago. Rebekah’s passion is burning bright for techno and electronic music, inspired by Dave Clarke, Derrick Carter, Richie Hawtin and Billy Nasty in her teens at the legendary Que Club in Birmingham. She has recently played at MOS, Fabric, Back to Basics, Atomic Jam, Public Life, Guendalina Italy, Coolhouse, Shindig, Awakenings and Exit. Her residency in Birmingham for the Eclectricity events has seen her play for Cocoon parties alongside Sven Vath, Dubfire, Loco Dice, Marco Carola and Luciano. Rebekah produces her essential techno monthly podcast series ‘Re-Dezined’, which features latest music and mixes from guests and the artist herself. Revolutionary online broadcaster, B@TV, has Rebekah as a bi-monthly resident, where she can be found opening for some of the world’s biggest artists.

Today Rebekah is developing a new live show and working on a concept album, both of which will be released to the public within the next six months. The future definitely is bright and the diary packed for this lady of techno and minimal. Anyone that has seen her play out live knows first hand that there are no gimmicks or clichés about this DJ, just unadulterated raw talent and a passion for the music she plays.

We are proud to present to you her latest two banging tracks ‘A Lighter Shade Of Pale’, and title track ‘Rouge Noir’ which comes with a huge remix by Perc!

Martijn van Dijk better known as Alessandro Diga was born on the 8th of April 1989. Encouraged by his brothers, he bought his first rickety turntables and started to take over the dancefloors. At this moment Alessandro Diga is an upcoming artist in the Dutch music scene. He has a great passion for music, a huge perseverance and is a bit pigheaded, but those character traits made him into the artist he is. With releases on Outside the Box, Manual, 90Watts, Proton, Syndikaat and many more Alessandro sets a solid foundation to build on. His tracks know a great variety, they range from crowd whipping tech(house) tracks to compelling melodic tracks. His tracks are supported by: Hernan Cattaneo, John Digweed, Secret Cinema, Stephan Bodzin, Laurent Garnier, Adam Beyer and more! His style is best described as: From funky pumping techhouse to melodic progressive tech!

A lot of people familiar with the Manual Music label, are likely to have come across the very fine Cinematique label run by Robin ‘The Manual Driver’ de Lange. Since day one he has brought an original sound to his label, now and then working with artists who also work for Manual, which within no time resulted in a solid fanbase and an ever increasing following. We are very proud to welcome Cinematique on board as an official sister label of Manual Music!

To celebrate this fact and as a kick off Manual head honcho Paul Hazendonk decided to release an Cinematique compilation on Manual Music which is out now! This 10-track digital album ‘Manual loves Cinematique’ contains a selection of Cinematique tracks which were released over the past 2 years. It is especially meant to be an introduction for those who are not familiar yet with the Cinematique label. Both Robin and Paul are convinced that this improved cooperation will benefit both Manual Music and Cinematique. Both labels are sharing the same passion of melodic and electronic music without being clones from each other although some artists are member of both families. Cinematique is a welcome addition to the label roster of Manual Music and for Cinematique it’s a next step in taking the label to a higher level.

Idiot Idols are Igino Ottocento and Saverio Vetica. Although they are not working with each other already for ages, both their styles and influences easily melted into some hypnotic productions. As a result of that they have had a great year in 2011 with releases and remixes on labels like Parquet recordings, Wide Angle recordings, Rhapsodic records and System recordings.

And now it’s time to return on Cinematique. They have worked hard and with passion to deliver this fine and diverse EP. It starts off with the subtle and emotional Incanto before rocking on with the uplifting Meandri. More freaky are the psychedelic sounds in the adventurous Dissonanze Cerebrali. The EP concludes with 2 remixes. First up it’s Tundra, well known friend of the Manual Music and Cinematique family. He delivers a moody and exciting livetake of Incanto. After that it’s Niccolò Bianchi’s turn to rework the track which meant the start for Idiot Idols at Cinematique: Sisters and Brothers. Niccolò, who you might know from his excellent debut release on Shabu recordings, turns this track into a wonderful and dreamy piece of music.

Stefanowitz is the techno alter ego of Stephen J. Kroos, a name you might recognise from his recent release on Stolen Moments’ big sister label Manual Music and the big releases on labels such as Anjuna Deep and Strom Recordings. Three brand new tracks here that will be catagorized under techno but might also appeal to the supporters of melodic ‘Manual Music like’ music!

Early support by King Unique, Sasha Carassi, Paul Hazendonk, Daniel Mehes and many others!

After his big ‘Pattern Recognition’ release on Manual’s techno sub label Stolen Moments, which instantly became one of the labels’ best selling releases of 2011, Spetterphat now presents his full debut release on Manual Music: ‘Ambiance EP’. This Dutch talent drops two warm melodic, yet moving and funky techno tracks which fit the Manual sound perfectly. On remix duties we have familiar face Lanny May who reworks the title track in his trademark style, and we welcome the talented Stefan Vincent on board for the first time, who turns the title track into a dubby masterpiece!

Early support by Hernan Cattaneo, Nuno Dos Santos, Ryan Davis, Paul Hazendonk, Dr. Motte, Microtrauma, Angel Molina, Dibby Dougherty, Darin Epsilon and many others!
