Comprised of High Ku, Sly, and Zé Mateo, the Marseille-based group sometimes counts among its membership affiliates such as producer Leo Le Bug, Le Yan, Taiwan MC, and MC Youthstar. With a sound reminiscent of early dub-heavy Gorillaz, Morcheeba, and DJ Shadow, Chinese Man combined genres with a heavy focus on beats and samples. Formed in 2004, they made their recording debut in 2005 with The Pandi Groove EP on their own Chinese Man label. A pair of EPs followed in 2006 (\u003cem\u003eThe Bunni Groove EP\u003c\/em\u003e) and 2007 (\u003cem\u003eThe Indi Groove EP\u003c\/em\u003e), before the release of The Chinese Man Groove Sessions (2007), a full-length album compiling the group's recording output to date. The follow-up album, \u003cem\u003eThe Chinese Man Groove Sessions, Vol. 2\u003c\/em\u003e (2009), was released a few years later and was promoted with a tour of France (a third \u003cem\u003eChinese Man Groove Sessions\u003c\/em\u003e installment was issued in 2014).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"VRq8xRpQ_AsdiUcIUhPmy\"\u003eIn 2011, they issued \u003cem\u003eRacing with the Sun\u003c\/em\u003e and a remix album, \u003cem\u003eRemix with the Sun\u003c\/em\u003e, the next year. A pair of albums – \u003cem\u003eSho-Bro\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Journey\u003c\/em\u003e arrived in 2015. While Sho-Bro was only a short five-songs long (and a couple remixes), \u003cem\u003eThe Journey\u003c\/em\u003e was a split collaboration with Tumi that featured appearances by familiar crew members like Taiwan MC, Tomapam, and Scratch Bandits Crew.
