Manuel Tur should need little by way of introduction these days seeing as hes causing something of a stir with his releases on Drumpoet Community, Compost Blacklabel, Smokestack and of course here on Freerange. Hes been in high demand for remix work just recently too turning in excellent re-rubs for the likes of Nick Holder (NRK), Random Factor (2020 Vision) and Skylark (Saved). Here Manuel returns with a follow up to last years mighty Acorado (which was licensed to Secretsundaze Vol.1 and Karizmas Coast 2 Coast amoing others). Vabanque sees Manuel up the ante with a real slow-burning deep house treat that were sure will put him well and truly on the map. This understated little beauty makes great use of a repeated vocal sample giving it its hypnotic hook and reminds us of something Global Communication might come up with if put head to head in the studio with Ame. Next up were very proud to have another upcoming don of the German house and techno scene, Stimming, get to work on Vabanque. The Hamburg based producer has been blowing up the place with tracks like Eiszauber, Funkworm and most recently Radar on the uber-cool Diynamic label. (also keep em peeled for a stunning new EP here on Freerange!) Stimming does what he does best injecting with his unique, teutonic-electronic funk. Perfectly executed breakdowns and precision beats ensure this mix wins over hearts, minds and feet on the dancefloor. Last up is another Manuel original entitled Girardet which utilizes a simple sampled stab cross rhythm and stripped back old school groove for maximum effect. Tis heavy! Manuel is currently working on his own debut LP for Freerange which is scheduled for release towards the end of 2008
