Born to a German mother and an Ibizan father, Manuel Tur began writing and recording his own music in his early teens. Inspired by the wave of new sample-based house music coming out of France in the late 1990s, Manuel Tur quickly taught himself how to chop up obscure disco samples from the internet in simple computer programs, leading to his first release on London's Mada Music label in 2002 at the age of 16.

With a series of records on smaller labels in the US and Europe, Manuel continued to develop his craft as a beatmaker. In 2007 he was eventually signed to leading UK deep house label Freerange Records for his first EP, as well as Compost Records with his production partner Dplay. The duo's underground hit "Deviate" on Zurich's Drumpoet Community caused a stir across the scene in 2008, earning them nominations for best deep house artist and track at the Ibiza DJ and Beatport Awards. The following year, Manuel honed his craft as a fully-fledged music producer on his debut album "0201". While launching his own label, Mild Pitch, with partners Dplay and Langenberg, Manuel manifested his status as an in-demand DJ around the globe with appearances at clubs such as Robert Johnson, Fabric and Panoramabar.

In 2012, shortly after Manuel's second album "Swans Reflecting Elephants" was released and work on the follow-up "Es Cub" had already begun, the producer had to take a step back due to
health problems, which forced him to find a role in the music industry that focused even more on the studio, Manuel's natural habitat anyway. Without the obligation to travel as much, Manuel felt just as comfortable behind the desk for emerging artists like André Hommen, whose "Battery Park" on Dennis Ferrer's label Objektivity became a crossover summer smash hit in 2015, as he did for established artists like Virgil Abloh, Tensnake or Tale of Us.

His collaborative work in projects like Clavis, Ribn or Amberoom was released on legendary labels such as Ovum, Innervisions, Poker Flat, Mule Musiq or Crosstown Rebels as well as a new generation of fresh imprints like TAU or Isolate.

As a remixer, Manuel has reworked the music of artists such as Jazzanova, Solomun, Chaka Khan, Dennis Ferrer, Ane Brun, Skylark, Nick Holder, Boris Dlugosch & Roisin Murphy, while himself receiving the remix treatment from legendary producers like Isolée, King Britt, Pepe Bradock, Ian Pooley, Stimming, Jimpster and Steve Bug.

As the Covid pandemic caused a tectonic shift in the music industry, Manuel began working on his own music again in 2019, leading to new solo releases on Running Back, Lossless and his own new label Spaced Repetitions, as well as a return to Drumpoet and Freerange with "Love Me Well" in 2022.
