All Vinyl New Releases - News

If you are wondering what the artist wanted to tell you by choosing this title, we will give you a small hint: It's
a cynical statement on something that for sure every party promoter has experienced at some point. The
rest, we will leave up to your imagination...
In real life, there's no mercy - neither is when it comes to the sound of this new Snork release by Syntax
Error. The four new tracks with meaningful names are not only a social criticism and another artistic
processing of the current development of the techno scene, but also a classic Syntax Error: rough, tricky and
good to groove.
Each track stands on its own, telling another story. 'Collateral Cosmopolitan' is a straight forward piece with
a highly memorable beat talking about the uniformity that is creeping in the waiting lines of more and more
techno clubs. 'I Wear My Grandpa's Glasses' presents a totally dodgy sound, which might be a little old-
school and even a little irritating - just like some fashion items you encounter on today's big city streets. 'No
Fog Is No Solution' is a tight song that definitely needs some good fog and a harsh strobe. And finally, the
last track sounds like a futuristic fairy tale from outer space looking on the world as if it is a 'Society
Bathysphere'.

Happy Floating is the debut LP of Italian composer, producer and reed player Damian Dalla Torre. Over the course of two years, the Leipzig-based artist recorded 19 musicians in all kinds of places to bring to life his unique blend of Avant Folk and Electronic. With reeds, brass, guitars, bass, drums, mallets, synthesizers, organ and electronics, the album feels like a mindful walk through a flowering meadow, tickling and caressing all at once.
Born in Northern Italy to a family of non-musicians, his knack for woodwind instruments was uncovered by the sight of a big shiny baritone saxophone in a red velvet case that belonged to his grandma’s neighbour. It was and still is an odd instrument for anyone to play in the Val di Vizze, which may have added to young Damian’s excitement. He opted for the slightly smaller tenor saxophone, took up lessons and eventually studied music in Vienna and Leipzig, where he’s currently living and working within a spirited network of musicians, of which many are featured on this record.

Laurence follows up the 2019 ‘The Sun Is Warm And Directly Above You’ EP with another cut of pure happiness and good vibes. This four tracker delivers the exact message that’s portrayed in the title, positivity, faith and the ability to change a persons mood. Laurence's use of graceful chopping and cutting, blended with some of his more down tempo style productions creates a real treat of a record.

At only 19 years old, French producer THEOS says that last year he decided to dedicate his life to music. Now he has scored his first vinyl EP, continuing Shall Not Fade's new Killer Cuts series that focuses on no-filler dancefloor oriented house music. There's more than a touch of French to the funky groove of We Miss The Crowd, featuring collabs from Denyl Brook, Cosmonection and Romeo Louisa.

Opening out the record, "Lie Machine" is a delicious warm-up for what is to come. The unstoppable bassline and disco guitar samples get your hips moving while vocal snatches get into your head and won't get out. The title track's sultry groove is similarly catchy, with the pulsing kick and deep bass melody evoking a nod to the deep tech sound of UK house music but panning synths adding that filter house edge, sweeping the listener on to "Keep Creating Your World". The hard pulse of this track is balanced with sweeping pads, ethereal and summery. Organic jazzy piano loops take centre stage in the sublime production.

Onto the B-side and three stellar collaborations with some more of the best France has to offer; "Jazzy Cruise" with Denyl Brook is skippy, upbeat day party gear, with classic noughties filter sounds that tease the ears. THEOS and Cosmonection work together on "Unusual Ego"; sweet fuzzy chords but an Ed Banger style melody keep the record pumping for the closer, "Spread Positivity" with Romeo Louisa. Cool and dance floor ready, the climax of the EP is full of nothing but good vibes.

Don't miss out on the digital bonus track from THEOS either; "Livin' & Lovin" is a pumping deep house tool guaranteed to get hands in the air.

Techno Import is proud to present it's first own release.

"Steppin’Motion has established itself as a hugely cultured label and event series. Its motto is “Music with a Soul, Connections & Discoveries”.

The art of DJing and a passion for the Vinyl medium are always the main focus and has helped earn Steppin’Motion a reputation as one of the most innovative brands in underground music.

Hailing from the early age of house music comes Enrico Mantini, internationally renowned as one of the founders of the deep house movement and offering us the third release of the label.

Made with love between 1993 & 1995, these timeless tracks are part of an album project recorded back then on DAT. Never released, they now have been remastered by DDA Mastering for your pleasure.

If you are part of the first 100 people who buys this record, it means you're a real music aficionado and a special gift from Enrico and us is expecting you inside the record..."

(color label/ black generic jacket) We are pleased to announce the first release of a new Axis sub-label by Jeff Mills entitled 'Star Marked'.

Subb-an returns to 20/20 Vision with 'State Of Flow' featuring vocals from Oli Gosh (Crosstown Rebels). Ash Subhan has been an integral part of the deep house and techno scenes over the last decade and more with releases for One Records, Spectral and Culprit.

'State Of Flow' is a beautiful slice of deep techno that incapsulates atmospheric layers of melodies and vocals with powerful bottom heavy bass and percussive floor control. SOF is the first collaboration between Subb-an and singer songwriter Oli Gosh and has resulted in new directions and musical landscapes.ASOF comes complete with remixes from Adam Pits and Armec.
Adam Pits delivers a devious little gem aimed at dance-floor destruction that winds it's way between a heavy garage bassline and 90's four to floor house rhythms, fragmenting the vocal around an increasingly unhinged and infectious groove. It's fusion served at it's finest and a super fresh sound perfectly placed for the current club scene.

Armec accentuates and expands the immense power hidden in 'State Of Flow' by breakin' the beats up and adding heavily swung filtered loops snaking around a massive bass. The Armec remix comes complete with a twist to its tale with the additional of a magnificently wobbly arpeggiated synth twisting our melons into a right old state.

Wardown releases debut album on Blu Mar Ten Music

The emotive and eponymous project from Pete Rogers, of leading drum & bass outfit Technimatic

"It was my own countryside, and I loved it with an intimate feeling, though all its associations were crude and incoherent. I cannot think of it now without a sense of heartache, as if it contained something which I have never quite been able to discover".

Wardown is not so much a musical album as a diary of smeared memory; an account of physical, temporal, familial, musical and sentimental dislocation.

Created by Technimatic's Pete Rogers, the self-titled Wardown project uses his childhood home of Luton as a psychological fulcrum upon which he balances feelings of loss and yearning for the town, for now-passed family members and for the music of his youth which inextricably bound these things together.

"a ghost wandering in a world grown alien"

Embodying an ephemeral union with his Lutonian roots, the LP consists of mixtape cuts recorded from his teens, recordings of deceased family, clips from forgotten documentaries about Bedfordshire's rich free party heritage, recordings of brass bands and field recordings of the town-centre. The result is relentlessly beautiful, unashamedly personal and haunted with melancholy.

"Melodies bring memories,
that linger in my heart and,
makes me think of home and such"

Self-consciously littered with these recordings and other, deliberately familiar, samples, it would be easy to categorise Wardown as 'Jungle' in the flavour of early Good Looking / Lucky Spin / DeeJay Recs, but this would be to misunderstand the execution. Wardown is a resolutely modernist project, using these samples as memorial touchpoints through which independent narrative voices are introduced to the fabric of the work, layering a hazy, cinematic quality over the already beautifully evocative music.

Wardown is an attempt to capture what the Germans call 'sehnsucht', an "inconsolable longing in the heart for we know not what", (CS Lewis). Despite a profound sadness hanging over the album it delivers a collection of exquisitely elegant pieces that explore the complexities of physical, emotional and psychological drift.


About the artist:
Pete Rogers is half of D&B Duo Technimatic, releasing numerous albums on Shogun Audio and further singles on a range of other labels such as Good Looking Records, Critical, RAM, Hospital and Viper, garnering acclaim from the likes of Resident Advisor, Mixmag, Thump, UKF and tastemaking DJs such as Annie Mac and Giles Peterson.

Barcelona-based Svogue label is finally launching its vinyl only release series.

First drop is a four tracker wax by Matteo Floris, straight clubbing underground house vibes.

A side has a more rolling peak time party mood, flip it over to find some deep minimal actions on the B side.

Limited copies, 180 gram black gold.

"Where words fail, music speaks"... this is a central tenet for Steyoyoke keystone and melodic techno virtuoso Clawz SG. And how this music speaks! For his 5-year anniversary with the label that defined Ethereal Techno, the french producer once again delivers torrents and colourful kaleidoscopes of emotion.

This is “Between Shadows & Lights” LP, where uniquely original and immaculately polished sound design opens the doors, letting his unmistakable sounds fill the room from the first bar to the last. He is a gifted storyteller and an undisputed master of the analog synth domain; evidence the deep yet gentle bass growl, to fountains of sawtooth harmony, intricate layers weave and envelop, yet each waveform is as clearly defined and as pure as crystal.

This is a personal journey that lifts the spirit ever higher, to stratospheric levels of elation, souls of both artist and listener being exposed and transported to a far dimension of bliss. Whether a fan of the artist or the genre, do not miss this very special release, which will also be available as a limited double vinyl featuring a bonus track.

the new bomb on cocoon !!!

zwölf starke technotracks mit detroiteinschlag !! aber immer nach vorne !!!

Dylan Forbes is a man of sustained grooves. But for the next release on Haŵs, the Irish DJ producer deviates slightly from the sounds of his previous back-catalogue to investigate the idea of collective ideals from the solitary walls of his lockdown studio back in 2020. The resulting output is ‘Mind Expander’, an idiomatic release of club-orientated house and tech tracks marbled with introspection and the hopeful craving for dancefloor unity.

The opening ‘Ride The Flange’ jumpstarts the engine with an emphatic house beat, sitting beneath swathes of misty synth lines that trip over each other in their eagerness to peer into the void beyond. ‘Mind Expander’ takes the pH back to 1, with acidic iterations, delicate chimes and a protracted build up that yields a sense of broadening thoughts and augmented senses.

On the B-side, ‘Searching’ slots together gruff, probing basslines beside melodic contours that seem to dance together with a subtle rapport like two figures treading the verge between companionship and intimacy. ‘Take U Over’ intensifies the euphoria for the close, assembling a prog-inspired motley crew of synths, reverbed soul vocals and breaks to gently charm the traveller back down from the 4-track ride.

It’s said that reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else - so let’s make the shared journey worthwhile.

Banging Funcky Techno, Acid Techno and Jerking Drops !! Party time for sure it is !

Big one again from the succesfull Goog Series.l Massive electro techno already supported by Dj Hell, Dave Clarke, Steve Rachmad, Alan Oldham,

Pure techno... With a deep A-side, bringing the typicall Goog evolutions... And a fantastic ballsine techno flip, calm and precious. A splendid EP !

Mysterious producer Raphael Beneluz, aka Prince de Takicardie, took his pseudonym from the first French anime called “Le Roi et l'oiseau”. In his sound, he constantly tries to discover new facets of techno, filling it with his personality. In just a year, he has released three releases, including the "Matrix Computer Poetry" EP on the German Twig, "A Man's Hurt" EP on the Lumbago from Lyon and "P" on the British Cartulis Music.

Komponente and Kurilo were preparing their debut live and were in search of a new sound, so the record has absorbed many elements from different genres.

A and B sides are completely different, but they are one in the atmospheric flow. Each track has its own idea and purpose for the dance floor, it's up to you to choose. The artwork for the release was created by the designer Dima Phase.

Limited vinyl only 200 copies

The long running Superfett Records rings in for Round 4.
Another heavy champion 4 tracker mini compilation full of Dance Floor Knock-Outs!

Incl. the #1 world wide house hit by Gettoblaster - H O U S E feat. Missy.

Loved and played by: Diplo, Annie Mac, Jamie Jones, Purple Disco Machine, Claptone, Claude VonStroke, Steve Lawler, Riva Starr and many more!

One On One Crew are Leslie Lawrence & Danny Arno. They experimented with various styles and directions with the aim of creating different music; a deep house sound. There are strong influences from Detroit and Chicago, but still with an unmistakable London style and identity. Both tracks were produced in 1989, and this is the first time either are released on a full length 12".

Based on Francesco Fisotti's real life experience, Lido Sirena wants to be a sound details of late 80s summer on Salento coast. The new Apulian sound, also called "Adriatic Funk", is a perfect mix between floating disco strings and solid weighty kick drums.

Richie Hawtin today releases ‘Time Warps’, his first dancefloor focused EP since ‘Minus Orange’ in 1999. This is the first release on a new extension of Hawtin’s iconic Plus 8 label, From Our Minds (FOM1).
Few can match Richie Hawtin’s contribution to techno over the last three decades. A restless pioneer, the Canadian artist’s importance as a producer, which includes music made under aliases like Plastikman and F.U.S.E, is matched by his influence as a curator for iconic labels like M_nus, Plus 8 and Probe. Now, through a pair of brand new, long-form club tracks, recorded in lockdown and boasting a combined length of over 30 minutes, ‘Time Warps’ channels the blurred, stretched perception of time that has been so characteristic of life in
2020.With constantly evolving, precision engineered loops delivered at a pulse-raising tempo, patient pacing and a seamless yet unpredictable progression, the title track is a lesson in building the kind of mesmeric dancefloor moments synonymous with the producer’s name. The alternative mix 'Time Stands Still’ takes a
radically different approach, with stretches of ominous ambience that manage to slowly dial up rather than suppress the tension, deferring release until the perfect moment. A statement of intent on a new imprint, and a long-awaited return.

THE ALBUM EXHALES A NEW TAKE ON THIS GENERATION OF MODERN / CONTEMPORARY JAZZ MUSIC CONTRIBUTED BY THE QUARTET. STARRING TRACISGREY, PROFESSOR CREEPSHOW, DOMSTA AND MACKJUNT.

Here's a big reason to celebrate, as we face the 150th release on Cocoon Recordings! That's right, 150 prime cuts with a number of milestones. It's hard to single out any one for particular praise but even so, we still have something very special planned for the anniversary. With a certain affection, we wanted to present an artist from the region so it's with great pleasure that we can unveil 'Countach' from the one and only Butch, as a more than worthy anniversary release. The native Mainzer and sometime Berliner is without doubt one of the most dazzling German Tech-House artists of the moment. His performances contain a full dose of funkiness and his self-made promo videos never fail to entertain, providing a lot of fun in the process. First and foremost though, Butch is an exceptional producer, who, as one of the chosen few, knows how to mix together those special ingredients that drag us onto the dance floor again and again. What's more, since we really have something to celebrate, we don't just have an original from Butch, it's accompanied by a remix from none other than Kölsch! If the term 'man of the moment' applies to any artist then it's got to be Kölsch! At least that's true when it comes to hypnotic techno with a subtle yet seductive touch of trance. Kölsch is currently operating on another level. Whatever he touches turns to gold, turns moments on the dance floor into unforgettable experiences to be written down in the annals of techno. His Kompakt release 'Cassiopeia", as well as his remixes including the Chemical Brothers, stand out as musical testimonies of the past two years. The series of musical landmarks from the house of Kölsch is endless and his remix of Butch's 'Countach' is no exception! With poise and purpose like the Lamborghini of the same name, Kölsch takes us on an epic journey with his remix here, but as t

CRUE1 is the first effort in the very limited vinyl-only series from the brand new 'CRUE' camp. Very limited' in this case, means that only 250 pieces of hand stamped 10'' black gold will invade European and oversee recordshops this summer. CRUE1 is quite in sync with all that traditional house action that has been going over the last year , but really comes to the game 'fresh' with a very hype but recognizable sound by a certain ''Unknown Artist''.
We are sure this one will turn some heads as the music on this exquisite beauty is quite pumping and is definitely providing you with those genuine dance tendencies. Soaked to the brim with fleshy kicks and nervous spacey vocal cuts, CRUE1 is a real dancefloor killer that should never be played pre-peaktime. On both sides of this limited 10'' you'll find one tight analog house jam which is crafted with analog equipment and mastered at one of the worlds most specialized studios in house-music mastering. CRUE1 will be available from late July. Play the music, unsolve the mystery!
As most of the vinyl only releases in this style, the record is sure to be sold out quick. Herefor we advice to contact our distribution manager on short notice to not miss out on this record.

The mutable nature of our lives leads to a constant pursuit of musical incentives. Last month we launched a new series on MindTrip aiming to bring together diverse sounds and musical backgrounds under a mutual project.

Mutable Minds edition II welcomes the very exceptional work from five of our favorite artists out there. The release opens with our head honcho Pfirter and his Anti-Routine that comes with his trademark modular effect and a well-constructed sequence. Sleepwalker belongs to Mexico's finest techno export aka Fixeer who delivered a pounding track with great energy.

On the B-side things are getting deeper and more tripped out yet still powerful and intense with the Swedish duo Kuf & Dold and their track Mint. Mutual Minds II closes with a familiar name that is none other than Jonas Kopp who returns to MindTrip with a very interesting piece that comprises a narcotic feeling and space stabs.

The final outcome of the second Mutable Minds edition perfectly describes the musical perspective and ethos on MindTrip. Hope you enjoy this trip to the fullest.

This is MindTrip!

After Dana Ruh highly acclaimed contribution for the SOL10 compilation in 2018, now her 12inch follows with three driving, funky and percussive house tracks!

As dj, producer and label owner (Brouquade, Cave Recordings) and co-distribution owner (KMA60), Dana Ruh is one of the driving forces of the Berlin club music scene.

Beyond her world-renown dj skills and running a Berlin-based record shop & event space, Dana Ruh has become a prolific producer, who spends every free minute on developing her unique take on electronic music. She releases, not only on her own labels Brouquade and Cave Recordings, but also other imprints like Underground Quality, Ostgut Ton (in collaboration with André Galuzzi) and RDV.

Her club music productions are defined by a particular hazy and moody touch. The tracks are well arranged and always contain the right amount of roughness, which lets the music sound alive and organic.

With “Still Vase“, Dana Ruh presents three powerful titles from driving and percussive, to funky and stripped down. “My Friendly Fire“ sends us on a hypnotic drive accompanied by warm sub bass frequencies that make your trouser legs flutter. ”Takes Time“ brings you back to reality with its energetic drumming, and the funky, minimal “To Convince“ finalizes this ep with organic percussions and warm sounding strings.

After contributing with a remix in 2018, made of concrete invite Johannes Volk for a full-length artist release. A scene veteran, Volk is known for his releases on Jeff Mills’ Axis Records, Patrice Scott’s Sistrum or Steffi’s Dolly imprint or for his live appearances in staple clubs Berghain, Tresor, Panorama Bar, Golden Pudel, or Corsica Studios to name a few.

Opener 'Soldered Minds' introduces a dense, energy-filled dynamic that’s both impactful and intriguing. Label chiefs Rebar give the track a 'Hum' remix treatment, adding layers of sizzle and flow that transform it into an afterhours-ready alternative. Undulating basslines stand at 'Magma In Slo-mo’s base, a track that offers a solid anchor and great tool for the dancefloor. The haunting, glitch-laden 'Asphalt Flowers' brings unpredictability with its jittery, uneasy atmosphere that, if played at the right time, is the perfect trigger for a descent into dance delirium.

The music Strahil Velchev alias KiNK creates for the 12-inch format is as playful and fanciful as it is functional and precise. His first outing for Running Back is no exception. Inspired by the hardware of the same name, his 'Cloud Generator EP' makes the most use of that. Computer nerd symphonies and cyberpunk melodies for clubs, roofless raves and virtual racing games. Wilhelm Reich and William Gibson would enjoy this. Oh, and there is a breakbeat mix on here as well.

Montréal singer/songwriter Laroie with an EP of low key radio hits produced by Gene Tellem with Gabriel Rei and Robert Robert.

‘Seductive sadness. Powerful vulnerability. Precise yet irresistible vocals. A few words to describe Laroie as she steps forward in full possession of her means, following up on her debut and namesake EP released in August 2020, and on the recent singles "Can't Let Go" and "One More". Here she is with Speed of Life, an extended play destined to be absorbed and listened to in one sitting. Funny how it sounds both familiar — you feel like you’ve known these songs your whole life — and brand new, all at once. In this nostalgic and emotional territory, standing at the borders of her influences, Laroie's talent shines through.

Skilfully navigating the electro-pop sonic palette, the artist crafts a comfortable, soothing canvas where dance, soul, and R&B from the late 90s and early 2000 also hop into the mix. From the bewitching slow garage "Elevate" to the cathartic and luminous "Can't Let Go", and through the trip-hop infused "One More", the very danceable "A Place on Earth", "Moonlight", reminiscent of the best of TLC, Brandy and Monica, and the title track’s addictive vocal melody, Speed of Life, just like a silky everyday soundtrack, is enjoyable on repeat.’

The distance from Ricardo's last field trip 'Thé au Harem d'Archimède' (PERL43) in 2004 to the present epic 5x12LP-Set is a galaxy of electronic expression through sound independent from time and pace. It is said that Funk is defined by the notes that are not being played. The space between the notes here is so vast that Funk becomes transformed into the spirit that creates unfathomable emotional adventure. The rules of dynamics between 0 and 1 shift the relation from reality to relaxation. 14 freefloat sessions are made of natural, secret ingredients from the limbic system of astro aztecs. They evolve from rituals, ending in the release of the sinuous percussion ghost from the machine who breathes out a score for easy living. Which sounds like a primordial soup aerosol of funky molecules and molluscs.

Saib is back for 2022 with a brand new 13-track opus entitled 'Under The Stars'. The album mixes solo tracks and collaborations with Tom Doolie, Bluestaeb, Flofilz, Cap Kendricks and Leaf Beach, solid figures of the beat-making and 'lofi hip-hop' scene.

Authentic and delicate, Saib develops pure and powerful sounds, mixing nostalgic and melancholic melodies with varied hip hop beats.

Saib depicts his intention and feelings on the album - “With "Under The Stars", i stay committed to diversifying my musical palette and inspiration sources. The release is a musical journey that will accompany the listener throughout the day, ranging from early morning relaxed grooves, lush melodies to jazzy four on the floor beats you'd hear in a lounge.”
