Haaksman Daniel talks about the funk, kuduro, cumbia and more

Back to the blog with another interview, this time with Daniel Haaksman own label Man Recordings that talks about the funk, cumbia, kuduro, merging styles, new artists, and expectations for next year that comes with many releases.

How did your career as a DJ, producer and in what year? Tell us how it all started.

I began to DJ at the end of 1980 in celebration of the school as I always thought the music that other people were selecting was boring. Touch a bit of rap and hip music of that era did not exactly music club.A thereafter I went to clubs in early 1990 I was resident in the club Lissania assay in Frankfurt, who along with Don-Shantel Balkan, then we played a lot of downtempo, instrumental hip hop, Brazilian music, French rap, rare grooves and more late-night House Music. But I always tried to play a freestyle and not to pace or style overnight.

How did your interest with tropical music and in what year did that happen?

I started in 1970, my parents listened to a lot of bossa nova, then I became a big fan of reggae and dub, and then discovered the cumbia, Brazilian Tropicalia music, etc.

Do you like baile funk?

Of course! While I believe that when a bit artistically stagnant, used to be very "hot" in 1999-2003 when the people sampled lot, the samples have now largely disappeared and still has a bit of fun for me.

What do you think about the Cumbia?

is a great musical style and is interesting to see how the cumbia is still changing, things of Colombia to the adaptation of Argentina and Mexico now is amazing to see how you can adapt to different styles and regions

And the Kuduro?

kuduro I also love the powerful, 100% for the dance floor, the production is very similar to baile funk. The thing is that although it is very difficult to have access to good tracks Kuduro. You have to go to Rio de Janeiro to find the good stuff!

When you had the idea of \u200b\u200brisking his own label a musical style that is very popular in Europe? and is now being popular?

Well, when I started with Man Recordings I did not want to do another house or techno label in Berlín.En 2005 I was very disappointed by the house and techno to date, it is the dominant sound in European clubs. When I published my baile funk compilation "Rio Baile Funk Favela Booty hits" on my old Essay Recordings label in 2004 and saw what he was selling it I saw a market for this music also outside Brazil. So I created this platform for the baile funk in Europe with more than 50 pitches so far. Now tends to become a platform for dialogue of the International Cultural recent things I've reported are related only rudimentary baile funk, but more influenced by African rhythms and bass music

What was the first artist to find and like in south america ? Tell us about that experience. As I said, listening to Bossa Nova as a kid, I love João Gilberto and Tom Jobim, funk artists who first met in Rio was Mr.Catra, which is the principal male voice in the baile funk, which is an incredible artist with an incredible voice. I met him through friends in a band and was very impressed with how everything worked the club with a very subtle drama.

What artists call your attention now? your favorite MC's of Baile Funk?
funk MCs There are dozens of very good and I would say that I have worked with the best MCs, either Deize Tigrona, Mr.Catra, Dolores MC or MC Gringo. Of course, there is still a list of MCs who still want to record, Menor Do Chapa, Maiquinho Ron MC or Bob, but I am sure that our work will leave very soon.

Tell us about Isa GT "when he joined Man Recordings?
met Isa Zombie Disco Squad through London, who have been friends. I liked the subjects that did a Crookers Crookers time were completely unknown, "not" frightening "was a great acquisition and continued sending me tracks so one day we had enough enough material to release an EP on Man Recordings.

How do you describe your tracks?

vigorously with a heavy beat, most of these facts made for the dance floor, with various influences from South America, the Caribbean and Europe

What you think artists are going to have much success next year? Any hope?
There are plenty of talented artists out there, lately the tracks of some boys from Monterrey, Mexico as Otto and DJ Erick Rincón have caught my attention, are very powerful and great to play in a club. Also what's hot for 2011 on Bert Beats to release an album on Man Recordings. I think the new generation of producers in France with the likes Douster, French Fries, Bambounou, Canblaster, Timba Sam will have a big impact in 2011.

Any comments you want to add?
I'm very excited right now, just finished the final selection of my debut-album to be released in April 2011! I can not wait to throw! Incidentally

we let a couple of tracks for free to download it.
