Not Many Experts

Mano has been very unfortunate; at the same time his publicists (wedonotfollow.com) sent round some unreleased remixes of his to be posted on selected blogs, not only had zshare plunged itself into a copyright coma (allegedly) so we couldn’t download the songs, but on the only blog that managed to post the tracks (Hot Biscuits), the recent intensified enforcement of copyrights meant that the tracks were removed almost straight away by t’internet Nazis. Not before hundreds of people could start getting excited about the tracks though.
Almost a week later, with zshare still broken, I managed to get hold of the remixes yesterday. The businessman in me said “Post them noooow and get some heavy traffic going to line my pockets”, however I still have some blogger-integrity (blog-egrity?) left and thought it was my duty to give them a spin and some quality control first. And yes, as you might have guessed, as they always have been, Mano’s remixes are absolutely quality. I haven’t been this excited about remixes since… well I’m not sure really, Mano just seems to get it right every time!

He’s a shrewd guy as well, if you remix such huge tracks as “Lady” by Modjo, “Pogo” by Digitalism, “Stronger” by Kanye West, “We Are Your Friends” by Justice vs Simian, “One More Time” By Daft Punk, and Amy Winehouse’s “Rehab”, you are going to attract some attention from the blogosphere.

Such blatant populist tactics would usually deter me from posting said material, but I think that everybody really needs to get an earful of Mano’s new stuff. Get them before someone deletes them!
