For the seventh year in a row Manual Music is ending it's year with the annual Manualism compilation. This year more then ever before it's a showcase of what the label stands for musically with contributions in various genres, from downtempo electronica till peak time dance floor madness. With Juan & Esteban, Might At Night, Joe Miller, Oniris and Pulsek this compilation counts 5 debutants into the Manual family, whilst familiar names such as Qbical, Francesco Pico, Alice Rose, Max Cue, PHM and NY Fan are also present. From the moment you press play you will notice the album is building up from obscure electronica thru indie-pop, slowly but surely moving to the dance floor and ending with some full on melodic techno. A little bit for everyone here, and a perfect example of what Manual Music stands for at this time, and a pure bliss for any openminded music lover out there.
Manual Music was started in 2005 by Dutch DJ/producer Paul Hazendonk.
Nowdays Manual Music is a company taking care of management, publishing, digital distribution and ofcourse releasing music on several (sub)labels in various genres within the electronic music scene.
Every now and then Manual also hosts an area or a party at various locations, but Manual Music is not a party organisation.
