Manuel Tur

Manuel Tur is a German DJ and producer from Essen, working across house and related electronic styles under a long list of aliases. He is also credited under his full name, Manuel Tur Wenzel, and has released music and remixes using variations such as M. Tur, MT, and Manuel Tor, alongside more distinct project names including Arcade Mode, Tweeq, and Blackbird. The breadth of these credits reflects a career that has moved between club-focused releases and side projects rather than being confined to a single moniker.

Tur’s recorded output is spread across multiple imprints, including Compost Records, Shaboom Records, and Spaced Repetitions. His association with these labels places him in the orbit of European house and electronic music scenes that value DJ-oriented production, remix culture, and a steady flow of singles and EPs. In addition to his primary artist name, he has also been credited as Jermaine Jones and Manuel Kiparski, among other aliases, indicating that his work has circulated in different contexts and catalogues where alternate naming conventions are common.

Based in Germany and rooted in Essen, Manuel Tur’s public discography is marked by the use of many alternate spellings and stylizations of his name, including Manuel >S06< Tur and Mauel Tur. Such variations appear in electronic music credits for practical reasons, from one-off collaborations to label-specific branding, and they can make his catalogue appear fragmented across databases. Despite this, the recurring presence of the “Tur” credit and its close variants provides a consistent link across releases attributed to him.
