One of the biggest Man Recordings anthems, Oliver $´s “Toca Pra Mim” feat. Deize Tigrona now received a magnificent Moombathon treatment. DJ Sabo, currently touring Europe, sent us his take on Oliver $´s techno-baile banger that he did together with Moombathon inventor Dave Nada. Grab it from here and wiggle it!

The deadline for submissions in the Crookers / Funk Mundial remix contest ended last night. Spreading out in the blogosphere like a wildfire the remix contest was featured on many blogs and websites, even XLR8R magazine featured it in its online version. Thus, the results are truly mundial. We received a reggaeton remix from Puerto Rico, a banging Tecno Brega mix from São Paulo and tons of ravey stuff from all over the planet, even from heavy weights like Brabe from Holland or Sticky K courtesy of Dubsided fame.

We are currently in the process of remix evalution – with more than sixty entries, a real challenging job. Until we´ll announce the winners of the contest this Friday, we´ll give you something to play with : The Funk Mundial cube. Download the construction sheet for your own cube here:

And of course: We´d like to say many thanks to all producers that provided their versions and participated in the contest.

Yo, ever fancied remixing Crookers? Well, here´s your chance. To celebrate the release of the Funk Mundial compilation, containing the best tracks of the vinyl series on Man Recordings, we are giving away original acappella, bassline and drumfills from the Crookers track “Soca Ali Baba” feat. Baile Funk MC Dandão for y´all to remix.

The best three remixes will be officially digital release on Man Recordings and rewarded with Man Recordings goodies and a share in sales.

Please send your remixes to info (at) manrecordings.com. Submission deadline is April 27th, 2009 (we postponed it for one more week). And: It doesnt matter which format you send us your remix. MP3s are preferred, if the remix gets a full release, we´d ask you for .WAV formats.

Our favourite Ed Banger, Feadz, has provided #9 in the Funk Mundial series. Fusing a major melody from old Europe, i.e. Mozart, with the banging beats from Rio De Janeiro, Feadz has quite probably created the most radio friendly Funk Mundial track to date. Sinden, Annie Mac, Shir Khan and DJ Beware already dropped it in their radio shows and on Austria´s FM4 station Feadz tune is played in daytime radio.

Here´s the original Montagem from Rio on which Feadz´track is based. Hurry up with copping the 7″ – it´s limited to 500 copies. It´s also available thru the Man Rec web shop.
