All Vinyl New Releases - News

The Eskapist with his second statement of personality, handing in a seasonal Ep ranging from a seriously immersive Opener to the shuffling full-force rhythms of 'Islet Observer', gently flowing tides on 'Brittle' and finally some soulful electrifying alien techno, as 'Voluptuous Brittle' takes us home. This is where the Eskapist dwells, here we find freedom.

Cocoon Recordings is back with a bang after the winter break, cranking up the pressure once again. What's more, we're seriously pleased that we've managed to land Johannes Volk for the new season. Johannes has been making us smile with his productions for more than 12 years and considering his 2006 debut appeared on Jeff Mills' 'Axis' label, it's easy to guess which direction his Cocoon release is going. There are no dreamy minimal sounds or deep house trips this time round, instead you'll find headstrong techno pumping out of the speakers. 'Tears & Walls' drives forward relentlessly with its meaty kick and metallic open hi-hats setting the pace. Energetic and demanding throughout, Johannes Volk certainly takes no prisoners! 'A Little Story About Time And Space' follows in its footsteps although the mood here is notably more Detroit, taking us back to productions on cult labels like Red Planet, Metroplex or the Axis Records sound. Volk layers the track with more prominent harmonies and hypnotic arpeggios, giving it a subtle yet highly effective trance touch. The warm analog strings in the middle section underline this emotional impact and make 'A Little Story About Time And Space' a guaranteed sunrise song for the upcoming spring and summer season; heartwarming and dance floor friendly in equal measures!

Phonica's seventh release comes from Paul Woolford as he delivers a double dose of quality crossbreed dancefloor music taking his sound to new depths and illustrating he's an artist who never stops evolving.

For our fourth installment of the “Roar Groove meets Dirt Crew” series we present you this new set of shimmering and dubbed out Revenge cuts. After the last episode Graeme has been very busy working his “live” studio setup to come up with a whole range of new jams of which we have selected the below four tracks. We think these best represent his unique style and once you hear these in a club you instantly know “That’s a Revenge Tune”, something we have always loved about his sound.

The opening “Like an Ending” is a trippy, melancholic-euphoric track driven by a Moog Voyager bass line and classic House keys and vibe. The original recording was an 11 minute live take that he has been able to capture the essence off and narrow it down to this thumping club jam.

The A2 is all about those good times and it reminds us a lot of early 90s “French Touch”, filtering House at it’s best, it keeps running around in your head and with it’s slower pace we are sure this one will do especially well on the early morning dance floors and high summer sun drenched beaches.

On the other side we enter darker and more dubbed out territories. Here is the first track in Graeme’s words “This one had been knocking around for a couple of years in various forms, but it wasn’t really until I stripped it all back and let the arpeggiated synth do it’s thing that it really seemed to gel. It’s really the rhythm of the whole thing, I ended up scrapping extra hi-hats and stuff that was just getting in the way.” And we have to mention that we personally love that marimba! This track is like a spaceship floating the skies and eventually touching down.

To close out this new work we have one of these typical stab-y Revenge chuggers, loose and floating, synth lines underlaid by a distinctive beat, it has kind of a breakbeat feel to it and with the improvising on those synths and melodies on top of it all it’s a true Dub House track.

Summer is here and this record sets the pace and tone! Enjoy!

Zeta Reticula a.k.a. UMEK drops a dose of razor sharp electro, built in collaboration with mysterious co-producer Helga Neuer. Having released records under the electro-driven moniker for the past 18 years, Zeta Reticula continues to develop his unique soundscapes of harmonic electro bliss, cinematic chords and powerful, dynamic bass. From the A-side's anthemic title track and moodier journey of Luminsferatu, to the trippy realms of Mimic To Appear and Cromat, I Am Mensch truly encapsulates the sound of Zeta Reticula, and carefully blends inspiration from past, present and future electro domains.

MR107
Mother Recordings continues to dominate the contemporary house landscape with a new one from NiCe7 that packs two hefty punches and a drum tool. DJ and production outfit NiCe7 are Italy-based Nicola Daniele and Cesare Marocco and they have been making big tunes on the likes of Suara, Noir Music, Cr2 and more.

First up, Groove Key is a big vocal tune that builds suspense on chunky drums. When the impassioned vocal breaks out, and the bass line joins the party, the club is sure to blow up.

Go Back is a slow burner that will have the floor in raptures. Disco house loops, funky bass riffs and lush claps all build and build to a frantic peak. After the cosmic breakdown the tune drops and makes a huge impact. These are three tasteful house bombs once more from Mother Recordings and the dope NiCe7 boys.




MR108

Next is „Feel The Power, a party starting tune with big catchy vocals to sing along and an organic and warm bass line roller. Def a real peak time hands up track to make the crowd stomping and pumping. We say Feel The Power, Feel It!

The pair have collaborated to great effect recently on the likes of Jacky & Friends and Solardo s Sola imprint.


Harlem Shake is lively house with sleazy bass, big synths and a bristling sense of party and atmosphere that really pumps any club. It has slick production values and a mad lead that is full of fun.


Flashback is a track that gets you ducking and diving with its turbo bass and great female vocals. The whole thing is a really characterful and explosive cut. This is a standout EP from this duo.

Listen to this if you want to hear last year's best tracks on Heist by Detroit Swindle, Alma Negra, Fouk, Nachtbraker, Nebraska and Parker Madicine in 1 big remix package. Release info: Round up part IV marks the end of year 4 of Heist Recordings and it might be our most varied release yet with some serious Afro funk from Switzerland, electronic soul from Italy, proper old school deep house from the UK and some Dutch guys adding a bit of swing to the package. For those unfamiliar with our annual concept release: The Round Up is a release where each artist that has released this year gets remixed by another Heist artist from that same year. We put all the names in a big hat, and draw straws. The result: 6 different remixes from 6 of the most intriguing original tracks of the year, in a deluxe 180 gram 2x12 pack. Fouk had the honor to rework one of the most euphoric tracks ever to come out on Heist and certainly one of Nachtbraker's most party-oriented tracks ever: Hamdi. They flipped the original into a rhodesy afro-tinged jam filled with lovely bleeps and fx and some great work on the keys. The DS remix of Parker Madicine's Heartbreaker is just as dreamy as it is driving, making full use of their synth-cave with an ever-evolving Moog bassline and some great pads on the Arp Odyssey. Alma Negra's Blacksoul remix of Nebraska's Big Plate Chicken takes the full B side and rightly so. The African drums, chants and looped sampling the original's bleeps give a great groove, but the track really comes alive when the bassline kicks in. The second 12 gives room for Nachtbraker's Swing mix of Can't Hold it, where he lets loose a trippy, sample heavy track with a dustier ambience than your grandmother's living room. Turn it over and you'll find Parker Madicine jazzing up Afrorleans and Nebraska throwing in a classic deep house touch on his remix for Fouk.

Newrhythmic Records presents a new Various Artist on vinyl that gathers the talent of great producers in an impressive moment and brings it together in four purely Techno cuts that combine energetic patterns with hypnotic atmospheres.

Alexander Kowalski opens the EP under his alias "Disx3", with which he distills "Phobos", the sharpest track on the album. A poisoned pattern takes over the theme while saturated percussion turns it into a hurricane.

Joton signs the second song "Flashing Darkness". The Newrhythmic capo gives us a good dose of low frequencies combining power and melancholy with a hypnotic synthesizer that splashes the track cyclically.

On side B we find the synthetic dissonances of "E - Mission" at the hands of Kike Pravda. The figure that draws the melody of this theme induces the listener's mind to a state of physical hypnosis.

To conclude this incredible work comes "Amplitude" by the Portuguese Moddullar. The futuristic atmosphere that is created
Around the metallic but watery sound of the synthesizer is brilliant and puts the finishing touch on this record. “

Early Support by : Loktibrada, DJ Shufflemaster, Christian Wunsch, Svreca, Stephanie Sykes, Angel molina, Pfirter, Danny tenaglia, 30drop, Hd Substance, Gemini Voice Archive, Kaiser, NX1, Developer, Temudo, Vincent Neumann, Markus Suckut, Fragmentor, Electric Indigo, TWR72, Patrik Carrera, Takaaki Itoh, Sandrine, Arnaud Le Texier, Roll Dann. . .

2LP Repress

Written and produced in a country house surrounded only by vast, empty landscapes and an endless sky,
‘Suicide Disco’ is the fruit of a 3-year long collaboration and Years of Denial’s debut LP for Veyl.
Urged to escape from crowded cities and information overload, the duo sharpened their sound and working
process through isolation and introspection, crafting 11 songs filled to brim with enormous hooks, New
Wave nostalgia and razor-sharp production details.
Barkosina’s voice echoes and oscillates against Jerome’s snares, profound and wounded at once. Her
expressionist narrative take us to unknown yet familiar places, amplified by dub delays and otherworldly
reverbs. Each track tells a story based on the intensity of relationships, a touching and distorted invitation
into intimacy and complicity

LIMITED single-sided peer-to-peer Techno voyage from spheric to
looped shuffle-groove-realms that could have originated from the years
2039 or 1999 in unison PLUS 2 all-pervasive infinity experiments !

Various creatures of the native flora and fauna are interpreted musically on Dominik Eulberg's label 'Apus apus'. The music pieces are thoughtfully presented with 2 tracks per EP.
His first EP features the track 'Bienenfresser' (eng. bee-eater) on the a side and - Blauracke' (engl. blue roller) on the flip side.
The bee-eater is the most colorful bird of our native lands; a quality which is echoed through the piece of the same name. The composition oscillates from one color into another without losing its significant habitus. It is a musical journey through the color scheme of the bee-eater, through which Dominik Eulberg takes us by way of his iconic style. He succeeds at a striking balancing act between sensitive subtlety and steady pressure, in order to offer us a satisfying share of hedonism.
It is a piece of music that provides an intimate listening experience, while simultaneously supplying listeners with a collective, mobilizing anthem. The long introduction of the track emulates the agile flight for prey of the dazzling bird, but then it fervently taps out the stinger of the captured bee, and finally nothing can stand in the way of the massiveness of the celebratory bass drum. Intrepid, yet with a high degree of ataraxia, Dominik leads us through the skies on an expedition into the colorful land of the bee-eater.
The magnificent turquoise blue plumage of the blue roller glimmers green or blue, depending on the quality of light. These colors, translated into worlds of sound, are reflected in this piece of the same name. Sparkling melodies intertwine gracefully along musical chains, and create a constant redefinition of the theme. The piece is inviting and catchy in the typical Eulbergian manner; submerging into the auditory tract and manifesting itself with much elegy in the deepest cortex. The blue roller is a sit-and-wait hunter - at first occupied with idleness, until finally capturing its anticipated prey. This imperturbable serenity is felt in this piece of music and illustrates Eulberg's many years of knowledge and experience. He steers his audiences through the true essence of music, while always keeping both hands firmly on the wheel.

Meet Me On The Corner is taken from the band's sophomore album, Orange Whip, which itself was BBC 6Music's Album of The Day on its release. It follows previous singles Whatever You Do and Sinner, which garnered support from Craig Charles, Tom Ravenscroft and Huey Morgan. The song showcases Honeyfeet at their funkiest and chunkiest. A pounding beat beefed up by bass, guitar and brass propels forward while Rioghnach Connolly sings lyrics that could be straight out of the playground, but suggest something deeper, possibly mystical even, in its demands for a dalliance on the street.

Remixes on this more foot friendly single come courtesy of homegrown legends of funky house music, Crazy P who come through with both a vocal and dub version. Honeyfeet's latest opus is turned into a straight up soulful disco monster by the boys from Nottingham, with Rioghnach's rasping vocals playfully meandering over Hot Toddy and Ron Basejam's crisp beats and trademark live bass. Elsewhere, much hyped Russian production don, I Gemin, delivers his take - still aimed at the dance floor of course, but a slightly deeper house affair based around jazzy keys and chopped up vocals that take the song into more sonorous territories.

As a bonus, the 12" package also features the acclaimed remix of previous single, Sinner, courtesy of erstwhile Polish Innocent Sorceror, Envee - his shuffling, moody take only previously being available on vinyl via a super limited (and now impossible to find) 7-inch release late last year. For the last couple of years Honeyfeet (whose name comes from a line in the Blues Brothers film) have been a conduit for the ideas and expressions of an exotic mixture of Manchester based musicians. This genre-defying band incorporate styles including jazz, folk and hip hop into their music.

The band are fronted by Rioghnach Connolly - also known for her work with Real World artists Afro Celt Sound System and The Breath - "A remarkable singer and flutist who...can ease from Irish traditional influences to soul" (The Guardian). The line-up is completed by Rik Warren (vocals/harmonica), Gus Fairbairn (tenor sax), Biff Roxby (trombone/vocals), Ellis Davies (guitar), Lorien Edwards (bass guitar), John Ellis (keyboards) and David Schlechtriemen (drums).

Since their self-released debut album, 2013's It's a Good Job I Love You, keyboardist John Ellis jumped on board as full-time member, bringing his unique musical presence. This enabled the development of a more texturally adventurous style, as witnessed with the dual atonal solo between himself and guitarist Ellis Davies on Sinner. Similarly, for their current LP, Orange Whip, engineer, bassist and spiritual guide Lorien Edwards makes his Honeyfeet recording debut, so completing the 'kitchen' of this very special band.

- The album, Orange Whip, is out now.

The first Octophonic Beige vinyl release comes from Ukrainian artist Kirik.

This 5th release consists of three tracks made by the twin duo Manic Brothers, one edited by Petter B. They have during their relativity short career proven themselves as worthy keepers of the Swedish techno heritage with big releases on Drumcode a.o. What they bring to Bond on this release is their signature big room sound but with a much more simplified approach than previously heard. On the a-side there are two great tool tracks with lots of space for creative interpretation for a DJ. On the flip there are a long and epic track with a massive vocal breakdown. Groove based but yet with a big and strong hook.

The label Bond is the brainchild of Swedish techno DJ and producer Petter B. The concept of the label is 'music by DJs for DJs'. The label focuses on releasing tracks that enable the DJ, rather than the producer, to be creative. It is based on that special bond which is created every time a DJ combines tracks, loops and sounds live into something new and unique.

Vinyl only, limited copies, no digital promotion.

Supported by artists: Barac, Janeret, Vlad Arapasu, Sepp, Cosmjn, Mihai Pol, Miss I, Ted Amber and Vlf.

Chat Noir Tools continues its exploration of the new electronic scene with this second release which showase four tracks from the young producer Occibel. He delivers here 4 uncompromising tracks designed for the dancefloor.

Throughout the 4 tracks of the EP, Occibel oscillates between atmospheres and sounds to offer a coherent and effective whole. An EP made for the dancefloor in all occasions.

The PSI49NET label boss, Anthony Rother goes head to head with CE's own champion, Sync 24 for the latest Cultivated Electronics release. The pair first met last year at the Rex club in Paris where they were both playing. After a passionate chat about their shared love for electro they decided to work on a release together. Several emails and phone calls later, the idea for a split 12" was formed. On the A-side, Anthony Rother delivers the undulating 'Stellarator', accompanied by its beatless Plasma Mix. Flipping over to the B-Side, Sync 24 shows his diligent skills on the driving workout, 'Hyperway' alongside the added benefits of 'Hyper Loop 1' and '2'.

Alma Records LTD is a vinyl-only record label series. The first release welcomes Isbel & Ildec with two original tracks and Includes remixes from Felipe Bravo and Salty Nuts & BE9 rising star Fabe.

After offering tantalising clues to a new release in recent months, KONTENT finally reveals the author behind its third outing. Following on from his highly applauded release on Italian label Hashplant, Romanian mysterio Leanca now takes centre stage on KNTNT003 with three infectious minimal grooves. Kickstarting with the thunderous low end roll of ‘Zboina Zare’, Leanca sends us on a raucously musical journey. Making us jack with a knee weakening, sub bass wobble on ‘Rockability’ and tweaking our metal state with the immersive soundscape of ‘Umbra Mareliu Falnic’. There’s plenty to enjoy on this magnificent contribution to KONTENT, as Leanca draws us further into his eccentric and infinitely unique musical universe.

After a long break.... MOI is finally back! Vinyl only as usual!

Here we are Guys, with another great release.
Also this time we have the pleasure to add a new member to our galactic family.

This is Vigi's second space trip, this time with SENSEK (NORSE, COMPLATT) trying to solve the equation of motion. On the SPINFOAM approach, the synth modulations merge with the sparkling claps until the proton collision decomposes the spectrum into elementary particles. Then, you reach HIGGS FIELD with a massive bouncy rhythm that melts perfectly with those beautiful air pads. It was enough for CRIHAN (MEZIN, CATREN, ELIPTIC) to seize the boson and deliver his own minimalistic interstellar interpretation.
