Few individuals can claim to have done so much for musical exchange across the globe as Berlin based DJ, producer and label boss Daniel Haaksman. With the release of his 2004 compilation "Rio Baile Funk Favela Booty Beats" (Essay Recordings) he introduced the sound of Rios favelas for the first time to a global audience. From 2005 Daniel gave the sound of Rio De Janeiro its own platform and the Berlin treatment and started his label Man Recordings, today considered the leading international label in tropical bass music. Man Recordings has released more than one hundred records bridging the Atlantic by artists such as such as Diplo, Schlachthofbronx, Crookers, Bert On Beats or Daniel Haaksman himself amongst others, as well as the creme of Brazilian artists such as João Brasil, Mulú, Deize Tigrona, Mr.Catra, MC Tha, Edu K amongst others.
