MANMADEMAN

Paul Baguley and Sonya Bailey have been producing music as ManMadeMan since 1994, operating in both the commercial and underground dance scenes. They came from completely different musical backgrounds. Paul was working with bands and Sonya was a wayward young girl with a keen ear. Coming together they partied hard at some of the most legendary events back in the early days, Cripps Barn, Dragon Fly, The Fridge, The Rocket and Space Hopper, the club that launched them. It was these experiences that inspired them to create music within a scene
that was totally different from anything they had been involved in before. And so MMM was born: one EPS 16+ and away they went, until they had a live set. 

Whilst playing in the clubs where they had partied in earlier days, DJ Tsuyoshi Suzuki heard them and soon after they released their first single on London-based Matsuri Records. Later they released their first album, Lovetechnology on Flying Rhino Records and followed this up by gigging around the world. This led to meeting loads of new people who were starting labels and soon they were releasing music globally on many record companies throughout the industry. They signed up with Concord International and found themselves supporting the Shaman in 1996. Together they worked alongside many producers and have played at a wide range of events across the world.  releasing tracks alongside
U2, Massive Attack, Fatboy Slim, The Chemical Brothers, Leftfield and many other renowned artists, and they found their music being remixed by chart-toppers such as KarmaSutra.

Their second album ‘Cell Division’, was released on Transient Records in March 2002. Manmademan have been on the play-lists of Judge Jules, Pete Tong, Sasha, Digweed and other leading DJs. They can turn their hand to many types of music but trance is where their hearts lie.

ManMadeMan是由Paul Baguley 和 Sonya 创建于1994年。他们认识以前,各自的音乐背景完全不同。那时的Paul在许多乐队里工作,年轻的Sonya则是一个非常任性的女孩,却有着天生的音乐天分。之后他们总是一起去Cripps Barn, Dragon Fly, The Fridge, The Rocket 和Space Hopper这些有名的psytrance派对。正是这些经历,带给他们许多灵感,激发了他们创作音乐。

DJ Tsuyoshi Suzuki听到他们的演出后,ManMadeMan就跟Tsuyoshi Suzuki的公司Matsuri Records签约并发行了自己的第一首歌。

1996年,签约Concord International唱片公司的manmademan和the Shaman 乐队一起开始世界巡演。他们的音乐跟U2, Massive Attack, Fatboy Slim, The Chemical Brothers, Leftfield 和其他许多著名DJ的音乐也同时出现在许多地方。

2000年,第一张专辑《Love Technology》在 Flying Rhino 唱片公司发行,随后开始到世界各地演出。

2002年三月,第二张专辑《Cell Division》在Transient Records唱片公司发行, Judge Jules, Pete Tong, Sasha, Digweed也放过他们的音乐,Manmademan做过许多不同风格的音乐,但是最喜欢的还是Trance!
