repress available! the groove sessions vol.1 is the compilation of the 3 eps released by chinese man between 2004 and 2007 since the creation of the chinese man records label.

man power has proven on many occasions to be adept at all manner of different moods within the hardware house canon, but on this occasion hes particularly focusing on creating an exotic feeling out of mechanical means. tropical bastard is a fitting title for this project for not an animal records, with the original steeped in driving patterns of rhythm and melody that approximate a flavour of far flung lands while mutating the feeling into something more club-minded. lord of the isles goes one step further with a remix that ramps the modulation up to devilishly wonky levels. tropical bastard 2inch is an entirely different beast that plays on a cinematic vision of tropical escape, but with an acid thread pulsing through it. then the frank butters remix finishes the ep off with a more submerged, but equally mischievous take.

soak by james hadfield, featuring danny linton, is one of the main reasons for the launch of me me me and a record i love so much i have done my first rem ix for the label, explains man power. further remixes from axel boman and bird of paradise cement a stellar third release on the burgeoning me me me imprint.

correspondant can finally reveal the release of the remixes for man powers debut lp, which was released last year on correspondant. a year in the making, the remix package features artists and friends hand-picked by both jennifer cardini and man power himself. disco halals moscoman remixes the baggy splendour of beilsteiner, creating a rolling and belching extended opus more focused toward the peak time dance floor. hivern discs jmii takes hunting swan and turns it inside out, exploring space with a cerebral, schizophrenic quality. alternatively, pale blue (mike simonetti) takes boys beware and re-imagines it as an aggressive drum workout. completing the package, suade, the artist who also mastered the original album, replaces ten’s balearic leanings with an idm sensibility, yet still retains the optimism of the original track. all 4 remixes manage to exist as distinct works in their own right, while paying homage to the magpie approach of the original long player.

the kachiri remix ep features a varied selection from some of the finest. kicking off with tronik youth who takes the title track and reboots into a harder darker groove, pushing the synths to breaking point. man power ignites a fire on the dancefloor with real bass and spacey chords. ivan smagghe creates an off kilter eclectic groove with a different energy. jamie patton dubs out pink ghost with a twisted and warped groove that takes it to a new cosmos. whilst, kasper bjorke takes us down to the sea with his love vibes and tropical rework of volupia. craig bratley adds his dark synths and toughened grooves for late night dance floors. two mamarrachos lead us on an epic 11 minute journey with their massive pink ghost funk groove.

nein records first vinyl release is one for the discerning collector. limited vinyl release of our favourite remixes from tronik youth singles on nein in 2014, comes in a glorious full monochrome shiny sleeve with a beautiful white vinyl 12inch single.

the anonymous man power makes his debut on throne of blood with the labels first release in 2015. closely affiliated with jennifer cardinis correspondant records, hes been making waves across the underground over the past couple years with remixes and releases on labels including hivern discs, eskimo records, ene, infiné, rothmans, and is it balearic? with a debut lp in the can for correspondant and 12inches due on voyeurhythm, renate schalplatten, and discos capablanca, this unknown producer and dj is definitely one to keep an eye on in 2015.
