Who's Afraid of Rio?, Daniel Haaksman's debut EP, sees the Man Recordings label boss continuing his passionate love affair with the baile funk sound. The relationship started back in January 2003, when a friend Haaksman's returned from Brazil and handed him a stack of CDs from Rio. Since then, the DJ and producer has traveled to the South American country himself, released the critically acclaimed Rio Baile Funk Breaks compilation, and carefully curated his own version of the genre.
