Berlin resident and general man-about-town, Asa 808 has run parties supporting underground house and techno all over the city for years whilst simultaneously learning his craft as a producer and DJ.

It is with great pleasure we welcome him to the label.

"Rob Glassett aka FOLD has been playing his trade of quality house music for over 10 years now. With a seemingly bottomless record bag, his varied and soulful sets at Panorama Bar and on NTS have seen him gain increasing recognition.His return to ManMakeMusic sums up what he's been perfecting over these last years: timeless house music. From the disco echoes of Mr W00d to the dubbed-out thump of Keif Chugwin, this is one versatile EP which we're proud to have on the imprint."

Tokyo-based composer Phil Gerus gives Man Make Music a summer record par excellence, warping classic r'n'b and disco into five highly original and up-to-the minute tracks. The latest signing to the ManMakeMusic roster, from Moscow via Tokyo, is Phil Gerus. A classically trained pianist, Phil grew up heavily influenced by jazz music before progressing into electronic performance. Gerus is an avid listener of jazz legends such as Keith Jarrett, Bill Evans, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea & Brad Mehldau, as well as funk & boogie records of the 80s & 90s. Inevitably, these sounds translate directly and smoothly to his own production: sensual 80?s vibes with tunes that are brimming with rhythm and funk. Gerus' use of synthesizers, looping, and heavily filtered vocals on the E.P are distinctive and he's marking his own sound in what is becoming a very hazy genre of music. The Opposites Left Together EP will be released on limited edition 10" vinyl

“We've been incredibly lucky to put out Laszlo's first two stunning releases, and this third one is more of the thoroughbred house music we've come to expect. I love these guys so much I even did a remix for this release. Plimton is a huge slab of filter house, perfect for the high points of any set, whilst Zizzou takes things in a quirkier, more introverted direction. As for my remix, you can make your own minds up.“ - George FitzGerald

This is the first full-EP from Denmark's Erosion Flow aka Henrik Koefed having made his first appearance on wax at the end of 2013 with his his spaced-out edit of Next's "Too Close". This record, ManMakeMusic's first release of 2014, pitches the breadth of Koefod's sound - running swinging, gritty house against grime-infused 4/4 and off-beat electronica. This EP shows the damage that Erosion Flow can do!

Shenoda steps up to the plate for ManMakeMusic's final offering of 2013. Having already caught the attention of Matthew Dear, Mattias Tanzmann, Skream and Martyn for with his earlier outings on Defected, Hypercolour and Losing Suki, Shenoda gives us a superb 3 tracker of hefty, garage-infused house. The EP shows Shenoda's musical gifts alongside first-rate production skills and we predict that it will have many a winter dance shaking to the rafters.

FOLD cut his production teeth as one-half of the much lauded London deep house outfit Homepark. His first solo release to date, this EP reflects FOLD’s extensive knowledge of house and feeling for the dancefloor. A-side Slime perfectly fuses driving staccato percussion with classic deep house warmth. Moving Patterns is a more laidback affair combining soaring vocals with an irresistible bassline that harks back to the early days of jungle. The EP is a given a special twist by an unforgettable technofied remix of Slime from fellow Londoner Ethyl.

ManMakeMusic kick-off 2013 with their housiest offering to date from two new label artists, Natan H & Amy Jean. Natan H made his debut last year with Anton Zap’s Ethereal Sound and on this occasion collaborates with longtime creative partner for an EP of bumping, unconventional house music. Title track, “For Her”, is a beast of unrivalled warmth working a deep and steady groove to perfection. On the flip, “I Know” is a soulful disco-infused workout while “Rush” takes aim squarely at the late night raver with its enveloping pads and low-slung bass line.

Man Make Music's second release is a collaboration between two talented Londoners, Jack Dixon and Rick Grant. Having already made waves with individual releases on labels such as Brownswood, Hypercolour and TAKE, these two good friends now offer up a pair of brilliantly off-kilter house tracks. 'Running Man' is a heady mix of skipping percussion and caressing Juno synth-lines, whilst, on the flip, 'Muted' takes a more understated, melancholic turn, counterbalancing the ecstatic nature of the A-side. Jack and Rick's contributions are also offset by Kevin McPhee's weird and wonderful slow-mo interpretation of 'Running Man'. The remix blends vocals drenched in reverb with creeping piano riffs and shows yet another musical side of a man garnering plaudits from all corners for his unique style.

ManMakeMusic first made their name running a series of eponymous parties in London's East End which showcased the best of lowend heavy electronic music. Given that the collective contained within their ranks a number of budding producers, the step over to label territory was always on the cards. George FitzGerald, who heads up the label, was behind the crew's first mysterious release earlier this year, a refix of Groove Theory's 'Tell Me' that sold-out within a matter of days. ManMakeMusic are now back for more, beginning the label series in earnest with some original material from George that sums up what these guys have been about from the beginning: real-deal dance music that tracks the borderlines of house, garage and techno.
George's releases on Hotflush and Aus this year have consolidated his reputation as one of a small set of producers from London whose tracks translate in to dancefloor capital outside of British borders. This record travels deeper in to the territory of housedubstep cross-pollination than George's previous excursions. A-side 'Fernweh' is an intricate work of ecstatic synths tempered with a rock solid groove that betrays George's UK sensibilities. On the flip, 'Hearts' ramps up the energy levels with tough percussion and the trademark FitzGerald vocal wizardry.
