Our #1 ravemeister, Edu K, has just released his "Party Munky" EP - the first digital only release on Man Recordings. On the 6 track EP, Edu K presents the real rave business. Think of the early tracks of The Prodigy, Bizarre Inc, SL2 or Shut Up And Dance – all reborn on a baile funk party in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. A there you have the „Party Munky EP", sirens, pitched voices and the "Amen break" included.
We just received a new remix for Edu K feat. Marina´s "Me Bota Pra Dancar" by Argentinia´s Ricky + Rulo duo. If you fancy moustaches, noisy basslines and headbanging this one´s for you:
See some new videos capturing the mad Man Recordings session @ Melt festival in Gräfenhainichen, Germany, on July 19th 2008. It was truly a legendary night.
YEAHH! WE BOMBED! We certainly rocked the best stage at this year´s 2008 Melt! festival. Never mind the mud, never mind the rain - we blasted it for more than 10 hours nonstop. Even Franz Ferdinand came down to bounce.
See the first selection of shots, we´re still collecting further footage.

The night´s only downturn: Count+Sinden cancelled their show. Sinden caught an ear infection and as he is the guy repping Count+Sinden Live on international stages, he had to cancel the show short termed. A real pity, but it allowed the others to prolong their bombing.
Here´s the chronology - further shots will be added soon.
THE PICKUP IN BERLIN Daniel Haaksman ready to leave MC GRINGO TUNING HIS GUITAR
RAIN POURS Our floor opened at 7pm. Within 15 mins, DJ Beware got the floor from 0 people to ca. 1250 and instantly, hands were up in the air. Unfortunately, at the end of DJ Beware´s set, rain poured. Manic dancing prevailed.
MC GRINGO ACOUSTIC Despite a merciless 15 min thunderstorm with hardcore rain, die hard fans of MC Gringo remained on the floor.
IN THE SCHLAMM PIT The heavy rain turned the dancefloor into a mud pit. But shortly later, people didnt cared too much.
DANIEL HAAKSMAN PUSHING THE VIBE Daniel kicked off with half an hour straight baile funk and backed Deize for her show. Impromptu-hands-up-in-the-air ensued.
DEIZE TIGRONA ROCKING IT For the very first time, Deize Tigrona performed her anthemic "Sex-O-Matic", live with Edu K
EDU K BLAST OFF Edu K got the crowd into a craze with his muscle ballet performance with which he supported his block rocking party set to enthusiastic response.
