The Manual Movement show is back!

Published: April 2nd, 2010 @ 12:20

The nice people of Red Bull and DJBroadcast have invited us back this year to make some live radio at their studio. Last year the studio was located in the middle of the Red Light District in Amsterdam, this year they’ve moved to the Sugar Factory building (also located in Amsterdam).

Last weekend we did the first live show of 2010 and naturally we’ve recorded it and posted it online. So if you wanna hear the Manual Movement show being presented by Tundra, Qbical and Paul Hazendonk + listen to guestmixes by Joe Manish and Furrr & Hazendonk + ofcourse the Manual Driver’s Choice For The Road, you can listen to it on Mixcloud (direct link) or simply visit our podcast page (and why not subscribe whilst you are there..)

Furrr & Hazendonk “Rrringit”

Published: March 29th, 2010 @ 22:20

Furrr and Hazendonk was formed by Raymond ‘Qbical’ van Baal and Paul Hazendonk just over half a year ago and they’ve rapidly made a name for their selves with some very successful releases and remixes, the latest one being “Rupert” which just got released on the infamous Diynamic label and is currently high in the Beatport sales charts!

“Rrringit” is their newest single, been played and tested by the guys their selves numerous times and we think we’ve got another winner here!

Blend cowbells, didgeridoo’s and ethnic vocals with some fierce beats and a healthy dose of funk and this is what you get!

Fresh Dutch talents and Melomane resident artists Ferreck Dawn and Etienne Manuhuwa on remix duties!

We return to our roots here at Manual by bringing you a timeless piece of electronic music madness by Spada.

Spada made an appearance on Manual Music once before back in 2007 when his Iloveacid track got remixed by Tundra.

This time he comes back with a full EP, some might even call it a mini-album. Five tracks of outstanding electronic melody crazyness by this talented Italian!

Already massive support by Sasha, King Unique, BBC Radio One, Max Cooper, Nick Warren, Henry Saiz, Ryan Davis, Daniel Mehes and many others. For the full feedback list click here.

Melomane 006 // Luca Donzelli

Published: March 15th, 2010 @ 16:59

Talented Italian youngster Luca Donzelli drops some serious tunage here with his Dancing Flute track. Fierce funky beats and percussion in combination with tight arrangements and a very infectious gimmick like flute melody makes this one real ear candy!

He also provides a fine dub version, taking it all a bit more underground but without losing sight of the mighty drive.

Luca Doobie is known for his recent releases on fine labels such as Freerange and Off Recordings. He provided us with a funky and bouncey remix which will move any dancefloor for sure!

Available now at the following shops:
Beatport, Whatpeopleplay, iTunes, Trackitdown, Junodownload, Beatsdigital, DJTunes, Zero-Inch, DJDownload, Wasabeat, Dance-Tunes.
