Review: Berlin-based Haaksman is known in leftfield/eclectic circles as the man who, back in the mid-00s, helped popularise Baile funk in Europe. These days he runs Man Recordings, a 'tropical bass' label that "cultivates trans-continental sound dialogues between Europe, South America and Africa", and the likes of Peterson and Scruff are big fans. All of which gives you an idea of what to expect on 'Black Atlantica Edits', as he repurposes 10 percussion-heavy cuts from the southern hemisphere for more adventurous western dancefloors. World music devotees, drum circle enthusiasts and lovers of complex polyrhythms will find much to enjoy here.
