As we continue to push the boundaries in our quest for the music of the future, we're very excited to welcome our long time collaborator Crowd Controlol to the Still Play Records family with his first ever vinyl release. Science Fiction' is an all original 4-track journey which blurs the lines between genres, maintaining a consolidated percussive groove while diving into a wide range of minimal frequencies throughout. From its bass driven house hammers on the A side, to its deep celestial euphoric soundscapes and glitched out twist of techno on the B side, this timeless record will be a gem in your crate for years to come.

Always searching for that special distinct sound, an introspective soundscape what will take you to a dazzling state of mind, Particular is back with its second release, signed by Sebastian Eric.

A Romanian DJ established in the UK, Sebastian Eric discovered there the alluring sounds of techno, tech and minimal. În 2012, he took things to the next level and founded the label EAast Frantic together with Raltz.

The Fragments EP begins with Dimineaa Roie, a wonderful and dark journey with just the right touch of some more chill and bright sounds in the perfect moments. When that powerful bass kicks back in, you know you're in for a ride.

Next up is Fragments and prepare yourself for a more deep affair. The airy sounds mixed in with a relentless bass line give this track a misty atmosphere. The calmness encapsulates this one like the fog would a mountain on a cold autumn morning.

Upgrade certainly changes things up. A more dancefloor oriented track, with some playful sounds mixed with an energetic bass line, will get your feet moving. A thrilling adventure which will lift the spirits immediately.

Eroziune continues this theme and it goes out of its way to be an even more lively track. An eclectic mixture of hi-hats, quirky bass lines and a discreet acid touch now and there.

Originally released by Michael Simon & Shahin Moshirian back in 1996 on Master Maximum Trance Traxx, Silverplate is considered one of the best Hard Trance releases of all time, with the vinyl release becoming highly sought after over the years.

Following Michael Simon giving us his permission, this massive Hard Trance Classic is being repressed, 23 years later, in collaboration between Simon Cutmore & Underground Music.

Although the original DATs were no longer available, this has been remastered from uncompressed CD source, and sounds fantastic. The label artwork pays homage to the original sleeve & centre label, and comes in a generic sleeve.

We're extremely proud to repress this masterpiece!

An accomplished producer with releases for the likes of All Inn Black, MAYAK and Body Parts in his locker, Andrei Adrian — better known by his alias, Zefzeed — is one of his country's most respected and consistent producers. Just as capable of conjuring up spirited deep house melodies as he is more intricate minimal perspectives, his is a unique take on electronic music that continues to endear him to those outside of his native Romania. His latest release comes at us from Naural, a Romanian Timisoara city - based label for whom he returns to here courtesy of the exceptional sounds of the aptly curiously-named 'Watermelon Effects as Viagra' EP.

The all-round intriguing EP gets underway thanks to the title track, a curious cut with muffled vocals that evokes memories of some of Perlon's most inspired works. A truly ambitious opener, it's also an auspicious one, and one that neatly paves the way for 'Loquat. Another example of the producer's knack for unusual and unconventional approaches, it sees Zefzeed rip up the rule book in quite astounding fashion. A versatile and curious DJ tool, it's definitely made with restrained, patient taste-makers in mind.

New UK vinyl label Depiction debut's with a solid 3 track EP which features 2 originals from label

Orion Records is all about freedom. Techno freedom. The Milan based label is an open space for club and non-club music.

With the third release Orion delivers an afterhours oriented record. 2 tracks for dancing and 2 tracks for floating.

Rolling percussion and heavy basslines for A1 and B2 vs hypnotic drums and ethereal pads for A2 and B1.

Enjoy the night ride.

The second plan comes from the mind of one of the most creative and respected exponent of the minimal scene.

Rene' Audiard has in his background the attitude to use melodic textures combined with micro and minimal rhythm that makes unique his own productions.

The final touch comes from the Vinyl Club master, Luc Ringeisen.

The third instalment from our imprint EWax Black Series is here! No names, just music!

Having kicked off last year courtesy of the exceptional 'Highpath Prologue' V/A, the London-based Highpath imprint has been touted as one to watch in influential circles. Founded by two Frenchman, Stephane Ghenacia and Thomas Roland and Helmed as a trio with Ludo M, the label's first release featured a host of astutely chosen talents, including Dan Ghenacia, Chris Carrier, Alex Arnout, Taymor Zadeh, Jedsa Soundorom and the aforementioned Mr. Roland & Mr Ghenacia. For the label's latest, HH001, the lads deliver with aplomb once more, this time with another cleverly chosen cast delivering the sounds.

Up first is Bassam, who impresses courtesy of the exceptional sounds of 'Lee Mouzi'. A tidy, well-crafted cut full of twinkling melodies and zippy acid lines, it goes off on tangents aplenty and keeps the listener guessing at every turn. A real rollercoaster of a track that comprises various sounds and moods, in many ways it's indicative of the release as a whole.

French producer JL (aka Jules Lemesie) is up next soon after courtesy of 'Get It'. A track that goes deep in search of kicks, the action is consistently interspersed with a muffled vocal that injects it with that extra bite. A canny tool with which to move the night along with, its percussion-heavy flavours prove a nice foil to matters elsewhere.

Two other Frenchman kick off the B side, with live act Oden & Fatzo getting things underway thanks to the sumptuous sounds of the baseline-heavy anthem that is 'Midnight Bedtime'. A rollocking track that's notable for its groovy aesthetic and firm dedication to the 'floor, this is peak time music that's best handled with care. Sure to get punters dancing and smiling in their droves, it's also further indication of the label's determination to trump upon emerging artists — and be greatly rewarded for doing so.

Seeing us out the gate is the sounds of Tom Akman's 'Misunderstood'. A Detroit-inspired

battleweapon that's high on intoxicating vibes from the get-go, it too follows an unfamiliar path, with its deep yet banging vibes and many madcap vocals ensuring it stands out from the crowd. A thoroughly intriguing and engaging EP, discerning DJs are sure to be reaching for this one long after the summer has come to a head. Majestic stuff throughout — and proof indeed that Highpath's opening salvo was no flash in the pan.

This project is directed by Miho in collaboration with Robert Drewek, the owner of respected label RAWAX. It is a special edition 'RAWAX - AIRA EP vinyl series".

Concept and mission will always be, to connect and invite great musicians who produce and create "essence of the real music', not following the trend but let the music speak itself with groove, melody, vibe, energy and soul....

Roland has made evolution in dance music all over the world in 80's, Music needed those machines, and machines needed those creators of music. AIRA are not rehashing of the legendary original TR or TB, But respecting those great machines from the past, AIRA continues to evolve toward into the future simultaneously, newly developed, new generations tools to keep the music alive and to bring more possibilities for the future.We seeks out this exciting movement of dance music history, as the music lover who has actual experience the flow of this evolution, and connections between musicians and machines to make their musical pieces on this project to inspire listeners and to challenge the genres they represent by each series.

With his new Extrasketch imprint now firmly established and fast becoming a key stop for the likes of Adam Beyer, Jamie Jones, Art Department, Danny Tenaglia and more, Andrew Rasse aka Butane's new home for self-released productions has once again confirmed his prowess both in the studio and from behind the scenes as a curator of quality underground House and Techno. The third installment sees Rasse's most varied release on the imprint to date, with a balanced blend of elaborate melodies, groovy percussion and trademark hooky vocals across four tracks for his 'Techno Mafia' EP.

Opening the A-Side, 'Losing Their Mind' draws on familiar aesthetics as organic drum shots work alongside tripped out vocals to form an oddly hypnotic, syncopated rhythm that locks the dancers onto the floor. Next up, 'Above the Scene' strips things back a bit, as Rasse lays down punchy drums underneath glistening hats and warm chords to reveal an excellent heads down, hands up, sunny after hours jam.

On the flip, 'Testify' raises the energy levels as Rasse deftly utilises a rolling, floor-friendly bass groove and filtered vocals to steadily build tension for the track's duration. Closing the EP in fine style, a slick ever-evolving piano melody works fluently amongst crisp, regimented percussion, whilst an uplifting voice beckons the people to 'Rise Up'. Yet another indispensable release to add to Rasse's extensive and sophisticated catalogue.

These crispy sounds and raw rhythms that flow into the 7th release from the well established reface factory are not allowing existing excuses to stand beside the wall. Get down on Moving Visual Things and feel free to bounce like no one is watching: the dance floor is yours.

Supported and Played by Arapu, Giuliano Lomonte, Gescu, Sepp, Cally, Prichindel, Viceversa & more.
