This moment was very important for me. The first time i saw it, (a good friend send it to me) i was so happy. My track, on my own label, got played by a big big DJ during the WMC. Never thought Sander Kleinenberg would listen to my music and actually would play it.

The things i see through my blackbuurrrrry
When i see something that catches my attention, and it’s completly normal, i capture it with my eye extending device. In this case my blackbuurrrry.
Do you know what it is?
Interview with Michel de Hey & Me

Extend Life
Rebecca Salvadori is at it again. She created this beautiful video with ‘Extend Life’
While My Closet is Burning
My dear friend Rebecca Salvadori, whom i lived together with for 4 months in Berlin, made this video as a goodbye gift. To me it is a special gift. A gift that will last a lifetime, and hopefully beyond, unlike any material things. This video is a hommage to friendship, a true bond that cannot be broken by time or distance.

For the third year in a row Manual Music will end the year with the highly acclaimed Manualism compilation. It might just be the best episode in the Manualism series up to date! Manualism 3.0 features more tracks then before: 16 in total, mainly done by the labels’ familiar faces but also introducing some fresh talents.
Fall Down Under
We are very proud to present the first various artist album on Manual Music! Presenting 12 tracks from a great variety of talented producers from various countries. Combining known names such as Francesco Pico (Global Underground), Giorgos Gatzigristos (Kompakt) and Martin Skogehall (Mezzotinto) with the Manual Music resident artists and some fresh new talents I think you’ll agree with us this is a really nice release indeed!
Terje Saether – Flat World
After a short period of absence, here we are again. Just before the summer, to drop that Savoir Bomb. The artist who delivers this fine piece of Scandinavian housemusic is, once again, our dedicated Savoir member Terje Saether !
Just like our previous releases, it’s the atmosphere that counts, and Terje leads the way with his beautiful ‘Wind Chaser’ & ‘Flat World’.
On the remix duties are newcomer Jarno & Savoir Records owner Thomas Lauren. Jarno stunned us here at Savoir HQ with his Wolfskuil Records (Sleepless) & Rush Hour (Memories) releases. If you haven’t heard of him yet, be sure to check his releases ! The remix of Thomas Lauren ties this release together, just like the rug that tied Lebowski’s room !
Examine – Confess & Undress
Examine makes his debut on Manual Music after having done some
fine releases on labels such as Stolen Moments, Savoir Records
and Home Made Electronica. Awesome remixes come from D.Diggler
and Thomas Lauren!
Day After Day
Thomas Lauren is one of the biggest talents Holland has got the offer at the moment. In his homecountry his star is rising rapidly and if he keeps on dropping massive releases like ‘Day After Day EP’, it’s only a matter of time before the international recognition will follow! The title track is a smooth repetative melodic track which slowly but surely builds up, untill you can’t get it out of your head anymore. True deep house music as it was supposed to be! Milestone turns it u melodic are the key words for this one. Essential remixes included by Nuno Dos Santos (Compost Black) and Giorgos Gatizgristos (Kompakt / K2)!
Elevated Morning
Savoir’s 50% Headhoncho Thomas Laurén, has finished yet another subtle deep mover.
With “Elevated Morning EP”, Thomas sets his mood for the early hours. It’s an answer to Thomas’s Savoir debut (Undefined Night EP).
Elevated Morning layers track on track, with a bumpy bassline that combines a minimalistic and deeper approach. It’s definitly something else!
Guide to Banyan is a track that clearly has it’s inspiration from some other parts of the world. An organic catchy and techy groove, with an oriental vocal.
Undefined Night
Undefined Night has a warm percolating drive and uses some additional vocal
work. It suites the early hour work, or you can warm up any crowd with this
mindshifter!
Unwind Mistake brings you a little back in time, because of the tempting
combination between rhodes and bass. This little piece of work can move any
crowd, physical en mental.
Is She Gone Before Dawn
‘Co-owner of Savoir Records Thomas Laurén, has done it again. He delivers a package of 3 deep, solid tracks. The first track ‘ Is She Gone Before Dawn’ has a constant hypnotic drive. The routine of life. Beautiful strings, that enrich the atmosphere, will bring an end to the routine and lifts up the moment to higher grounds. But like every moment in life, it won’t last forever. ‘Extend Life’ was made during that period in life, which everybody goes through. A period filled with questions, the search for a higher truth, statements and believes. The rhythm will remind you once more.’
Guy J – Stop Hold
‘Manual Music beendet das Jahr 2007 mit einem massiven track von Guy J. Eine tolle Platte mit noch besseren Remixen vom Franzosen Dj Yellow & dem Holländischen Newcomer Thomas Lauren’
Waste No Time
‘The newest release on King Fu is also from one of the new and upcoming producers of Holland. After releases on Wolfskuil & the start of his own label, one can say he is the upcoming man in the Netherlands. Thomas Lauren is the Brite new star of the melodic techhouse sound of Holland.’
