Sixty minutes, ten tracks, one decade in the life of MAN2.0 aka Mark Bailey.
My recent NEIN Records catalogue buy has significantly boosted the quantity of MAN2.0 music and remixes in my collection, and this is only a good thing as I've been a fan since I discovered Mark via his remixes and releases on Paisley Dark Records a few years ago. Last year, he took the next logical step by launching his own label, Embryonic Soundwave.
Today's selection plucks selections from the past decade, spanning 2017 to 2025 and trying to avoid repeating tracks (or at least versions) that I've previously used elsewhere on this blog.
Starting off with the brilliantly-titled Anti-Chug, the selection takes in remixes for Perry Granville, Tronik Youth and Soft Cell, as well as MAN2.0 releases including last year's superb CTRL ALT DEL and wrapping up with Cosmikuro's stunning rework of 2023 single Red Shift.
May your weekend be full of sunshine, inside and out. I think this is the ideal soundtrack.
1) Anti-Chug (Single Version): MAN2.0 (2017)
2) Fake Robots (MAN2.0 'Counterfeit Machinery' Remix): Ulises Arrieta & Javier Martinez (2019)
