Few individuals can claim to have done so much for musical exchange across the globe as Berlin based artist, DJ, producer and label boss Daniel Haaksman. Musically, Daniel recognises no boundaries or borders, rejoicing in the free-flow of creativity as he absorbs all the rhythms and shades of this planet of sound in his productions. He’s got an especially keen ear when it comes to Africa or Brazil, and is an artist who never neglects the power of a strong melody when it comes to satiating a hungry dancefloor, be it a wiry guitar riff or some tinkling balafon. Full-flavoured and 100% proof, a Daniel Haaksman DJ set takes no prisoners, nor leaves a single person unmoved. His musical output as an artist includes various EPs, four albums ("Rambazamba", "African Fabrics", "With Love, From Berlin" and "Sonido Lava") , plus dozens of official remixes, edits and numerous compilations, such as the genre defining "Rio Baile Funk Favela Booty Beats" compilation of 2004. With more than 130 releases, his label Man Recordings pioneered the globalisation of baile funk & various tropical bass genres.
