It seems the Queen of Soul is the favourite singer of Manosjmt (i.e. he of the nifty Rag N Bone Man/ Human remix from the other year) although frankly Aretha Franklin is almost certainly top of a large proportion of the world population’s favourite singer lists such was her skill. But if you’re a remixer and your favourite singer sadly passes, you might feel you want to give something back

ARETHA FRANKLIN: Won’t Be Long (MANOSJMT Remix)
MANOSJMT: Bossa Nova
Got bossa? Don’t worry if you haven’t, Athenian producer Manosjmt has got you well and truly covered. Enter three versions of his latest effort Bossa Nova constructed from samples of Jacques Brel’s ’58 cut Dors Ma Mie, Bonsoir and Paul ‘John Adams’ Giamatti. Three versions? Why yes! Bossa Nova (Hop), Bossa Nova (Hop & Hop) and the Bossa Nova (Instrumental). So that’s a bossa nova

MANOSJMT: Mulatu (Manolatu)
With new freebie Mulatu (Manolatu), Greek producer ManosJMT chops and loops where Nas and Damien Marley once also dared to sample, amongst the back catalogue of Mulatu ‘the father of Ethio-jazz’ Astatke. But where Nas and Marley pathetically used just the one track, Yegelle Tezeta, ManosJMT loves Astatke so much he’s stitched a mutant afro-jazz-hop lope together from

ONDATROPICA: Cumbia Especial (MANOSJMT edit)(2017)
There was a time a couple of years ago when you could barely move for breakbeat edits of Latin tracks – all of them good, not a few of them cumbia-based and for some reason, many of them done by Greek producers. Lately though, such fare has been thin on the ground. Luckily, Manosjmt is here to fill the gap in the market with his edit of Ondatropica’s Cumbia Especial. You’ll note from

RAG N BONE MAN: Human (MANOSJMT edit) (2017) Free download
Rating: 
The indefatigable Manosjmt turns his sights to Rag N Bone Man for his latest edit. Having clearly identified a singer with soul, he then sets to work identifying the missing element from last summer’s hit. It’s a double time stomping beat of course which means that this edit delivers the unexpected sound of Rag N Bone Man keeping the faith in a neo-northern soul style

CHRISTIANA: Lights More Lights (MANOSJMT edit)(2017) Free download
Not a man to sit idly and twiddle his thumbs when it’s colder than an inuit’s outside toilet, Manosjmt has been having a fiddle around with 70s and 80s Greek folk singer Christiana. Not literally you filth mongers! I meant he’s tweaked her old folk pop hit Lights More Lights by dint of adding a dusty break and created a slinky lil downtempo disco funky number. You can fit this one right in there

EARTHA KITT: Santa Baby (MANOSJMT) (2016) Free download
I’m not sure precisely who has been the most regular supplier of freebies to MB readers this year – but surely one of the front runners must be Greece’s Manosjmt. In case you thought he was going to let the Yuletide silly season pass unmolested – think again for here he is with a beat rerub of Eartha Kitt’s suggestive ’53 classic Santa Baby on which she breathily encourages

SHARON JONES: Pick It Up Lay It In The Cut (MANOSJMT RIP Edit) Free download
For the second time in a fortnight the world has lost a great singer and for the second time in a fortnight Manosjmt commemorates those we have lost with an edit. This time he salutes latter-day soul queen Sharon Jones with a subtle beat re-tweak of the lickin stick groove of early work Pick It Up, Lay It In The Cut which appeared on Jones debut LP – Dap Dippin With The Dap

LEONARD COHEN: Different Sides (MANOSJMT RIP Edit)(2016) Free download
What with all the despair last week that a man named after a guff has become US president elect, it may have slipped under people’s radar that the person arguably most suited to giving voice to said despair has sadly passed away. No doubt in utter disgust. And who can blame him? I refer of course to none other than the ‘prophet of despair’ himself – a.k.a. ‘laughing’ Leonard Cohen. Happily

MANOSJMT: Garifalle (2016) Free download
As likely to mix swing as funk, and rock n roll as soul, Athens-based producer Manosjmt gets on a funky downtempo tip for his latest effort – Garifalle which samples the back catalogue of Greek band Peloma Bokiou. The band originally came together in autumn 1970 and their first single was Garifale, Garifale-Min Kles (Don’t Cry) – a.k.a. the sort of thing that might turn up on a
