Despite his young age, Manuel Tur is widely regarded as one of Germany's hottest house music producers at the moment. Somewhat of a teenage prodigy, having recorded his first 12" in 2002 at the age of 16, Manuel has since put out over a dozen records, achieving wide-reaching recognition with his signing to Jimpster's Freerange label and his single 'Acorado'. Most recently he has teamed up with fellow German DPlay and their joint productions on the Compost, Freerange and Drumpoet Community labels stand out for their modern, yet deep and highly musical interpretation of house music.

Manuel Tur, who has long outgrown his reputation as Germany's #1 house music prodigy, delivers an accomplished second album. 'Back To Me' might constitute a slightly shallow opener, but from there on it's all smooth sailing with a flawless blend of sophistication and danceability, both elating and deep. Excellent.
