For the third year in a row Manual Music will end the year with the highly acclaimed Manualism compilation. It might just be the best episode in the Manualism series up to date! Manualism 3.0 features more tracks then before: 16 in total, mainly done by the labels’ familiar faces but also introducing some fresh talents.

As a bonus for those who will buy the whole album they get the continuous DJ mix of the tracks (done by Qbical) for free (only at Beatport and iTunes)! And if you don’t want to buy the seperate tracks but only want the Qbical dj mix? This is also possible!

Available now at Beatport, all the other (good) digital download shops will start selling it from January 4th onwards!

Melomane has probably one of the fastest revelations at the Manual Music company in the fine year of 2009. Having had just three releases (including this one) untill now, but already gaining massive support, solid sales and a fast growing fanbase!

The latest addition to the Melomane story is this 5 track EP by German producer Sensou who you might know from his previous releases on the cool Render Obedience label. Remixes are provided by E-Contact (Area Remote / Gimmikk) and Juan Manuel.

We expect this one to be a fine ending to this year and a good stepping stone to what awaits for Melomane in 2010!

Available at all the major download shops now.
