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.
This Maxi-Single is featured in Update #072:
Elektro Guzzi, Marcel Dettmann, Sepalcure, Surkin
If you are based on the planet's northern hemisphere like we are, chances are you're either looking for a melancholic soundtrack to the greyness outside or some cheerful music to counter its adverse effects right now.
Either way, this month's releases more...
Manuel Tur can do it all - piano hits ('Most of this Moment'), disco-house ('Foolin') - yet 'About To Fall' might be his most accomplished single all year, a deep and hypnotically grooving piece that balances soulfulness and sonic abstraction. Excellent release.
