"Who's Afraid Of Rio" is the debut EP by Man Recordings label boss Daniel Haaksman. It�s the latest culmination point in his steady, mad love affair for baile funk from Rio De Janeiro which started in 2003 when a friend returned from Brazil bringing Daniel a stack of CDs with funk from Rio. A virgin trip to Rio ensued in January 2004, in which Daniel explored the - then in Europe - unknown terrority called baile funk, resulting in genre defining compilation "Rio Baile Funk Favela Booty Beats" on his former label Essay Recordings in summer 2004. The CD received global acclaim and produced considerable sales, encouraring Daniel to leave Essay and establish his own label Man Recordings in 2005, where he decided to fully concentrate on baile funk � establishing Man Recordings as the sole label outside of Brazil consistently and exclusively focussing on baile funk. Since it inception, Man Recordings internationally broke artists such as Edu K, Deize Tigrona or MC Gringo and released the first productions and remixes by artists like Crookers, Diplo, Count+Sinden, Bonde Do Role, Sany Pitbull, DJ Edgar, DJ Amazing Clay, Joyce Muniz and many others.
