We received an e-mail from Vienna based but Brazilian born dj/mc Joyce Muniz which contained her first official mixtape “Mexe Mexe” which was done for the newly started Man Recordings artist mixtape series. It’s made in that tropical and funky afro/baile style, it will completely transform your mundane day into a superb party.

Here’s some more info from Man Recordings boss Daniel Haaksman on the mixtape series and Joyce’s mix:

“We just started a new mixtape series at Man Recordings. Every two months, the series will present the mixing skills and favourite picks from artists of the Man Rec Crüe.
As every gentleman´s motto is “Ladies first”, here’s the Man Rec Mixtape #1 by our beloved Joyce Muniz: It’s full of new and unreleased tropical heat from Solo to Riva Starr, Man Rec classics re-edited, to new baile bangers and house shakers – a mix perfect to grind your sun tanned bodies at the pool. Watch this space for more mixes coming up!”

We have been waiting for a new release from our friends in Sharkslayer for a while now, but they have been working hard in the studio and touring instead of sending us tracks. But now they finally have some new stuff for us with their new EP on Real Monsters Records (a sublabel to Ramp Recordings). The new release contains three new tracks from Sharkslayer and a remix from Renaissance Man. Go get the whole EP and look out for Sharkslayer remixes on Man Recordings and Dim Mak real soon.

It’s called “Who’s Afraid Of Rio?” and the title track features the vocal offerings of MC Jennifer and some sharp stabbing synth action along with a rolling baile funk groove that’s gonna make the dancefloor sweat floods.
