All Vinyl New Releases - News

Finally time now of the first Various on the label with Tommy Vicari Jnr, Cinthie, Daniele Temperilli and Thomas Wood that pull out four awesome dancefloor house tracks!

The new series opens with a new various artists compiled by the home team Unknown Collective, Bronxy & Consep and Felipe Bravo.
Limited copies and no repress.

Next move from Artefakt and Delsin is a selection of their label back catalog remixed by a few of their personal favourites in modern techno days. Forest Drive West and Evigt Morker both deliver slamming and hypnotic techno workouts. Where Polar Inertia and Valentino Mora take a dive into deeper territories. It resulted in a well balanced pack of exciting drum grooves, hypnotic loops, smoky dub techno and cinematic ambient.

Here's a new atmospheric techno release by Conforce on his own imprint Transcendent. After his last gem on Delsin records he seems to be on a roll again with his sophisticated trademark techno sound. Conical Surface showcases a diversity of carefully selected techno tracks, all with the profound character you can expect from a new release by Mr.Bunnik. Lush pads and interstellar bleeps send you straight into his musical universe again. Performed and recorded with accurate precision for maximum impact. May Conforce be with you.

Electric Rescue is back on his own imprint to his new album, the third one and the most powerfull one no compromises techno and electronica music, a film of his 2 years past life, authentic, personnal and unique vision of the actual techno scene and life, pure !

With Labelrelease # 53 Monaberry presents three masterpieces of Oslo-based Finnebassen. Finnebassen welcomes us with Sekvens, a track full of atmospheric density and a humming synth arpeggio. Melodically underlined breaks pave the way to an intense and all senses touching out-of-body experience. Monochoir resembles a magical journey through valleys full of juicy grooves and ethnic drums as well as cinematic suspense. In addition, Wide Open literally radiates lightness, deep synths and invites you to a spiritual experience in the vastness of the groove cosmos. To make this trip perfect, "Jos & Eli" take Wide Open and build from the warmth of the original a gliding remix spaceship.

I'm happy to present the talented The Reason Y from Berlin. After his EP on Pan-Pot's label Second State The Reason Y showcases his diversity with straight dark techno but also a warm melodic tune - Almathea . On top the man of the moment - Kevin de Vries - made a wonderful remix of Almathea (Monika Kruse)

Tamango Records' fifth release delivers a pure Italian-heat collaboration between label boss Yaya and Alex Ground (Desolat / Kina Music). The fellow Turin based producers and longtime friends Yaya and Alex join forces for 'Rough Side', a 4 tracker EP enriched by a remix from Inkal honcho Ben Rau.

The opening track is called 'Rough Side' and has been a stable weapon in Yaya's sets since its first appearance at the Desolat boat party during WMC in Miami last year. As the title suggests, it's a peak-time roller with a shaking bassline that flows under rattling hits and toms. Some old tape vocals and drum fill find their place into the break, just before an unexpected 'party-starting' old school synth marks this track as one of the summer anthems to get any dance floor moving.

Remix duties are handled to Fuse London regular Ben Rau who has recently launched his own 'Inkal' and sister-label 'Meta', storming the charts release after release.

The B side kicks off with 'You Know The Unknown' where the boys go deeper and deeper, creating a majestic tech house groove with sharp and rubbery hi-hats, raw percussions and fluttering snares all rolling into one. The result is an intense and introspective trip full of light pads and dense synths, all together for another club gem.

Closing the EP is 'Night Wings', seven deep and warm minutes of the finest house music. Again, the title itself perfectly describes the track, where subtle and spaced synths and shuffling drums turn this one into a hypnotic warm-up mood.

Peder Mannerfelt & Pär Grindvik push the Aasthma envelope looser, faster, and stranger on a
second limited edition 12”, featuring one cut of blistered power ambient, plus a sidewinding
cybernetic techno twyster - properly f*cked & deadly dancefloor gear highly recommended if yr
into T++, Ugandan Methods!!!
A strong new addition to both artists’ oeuvres, the 2nd Aasthma 12” follows the same formula as
the first, and again finding a smart balance of immediate rawness and classy sound design, but
this time slightly altering the parameters to more reckless and experimental appeal.
The smoky ambient blush of ’Rotating Blue Device’ unfurls a fine mesh of gauzy mid-ground and
prickly surface disturbances to bend the mind’s eye and presumably sound steeply psychedelic
in altered states, which finely sets the tone for ‘Los Angeles’, where they spar with thorny techno
drums and surges of bass voltage in a roving, undulating, crisp but distorted mass that will swill
the club out something rotten.
No brainer.

Some good old Detroit techno/electro from Direct Beat producer Dj Di'jital and Detroit In Effect's Dj Maaco. The two team up for a smash collaboration of Electro funk. Sinister Aliens are in the studio making dope basslines for us ..we didn't do the work they did!!

vinyl only!

Electronic veteran Hermanez for the JWB020 Jesus Was Black release, presents one of his most direct and intense works to date with a killer remix by Chasing Blondes. False Flag keeps you guessing, with its astonishing beats, gradually building on a head-nodding rhythmic backbone with incessant swathes of funk-fuelled bass, before drawing in hazy reversed piano patterns. It flows from a strong impactive sound to a deep and contemplating sound effect, making it a beautifully subtle piece of work.

Chasing Blondes´ boys make the perfect remix on False Flag EP, by sticking to the deep exquisite flow of the original, but at the same time adding a little more of an adrenaline rush with key percussion beats, building infectiously as the track goes on via shimmering pads and creaky FX.

For our 13th release we turn to new kid on the block Justin Pak. With a string of forthcoming releases on the likes of Hoarder and What You Want, Justin is quickly proving to be hot property. His music has been supported by the likes of Priku, Rhadoo, Burnski, IO Mulen and many more, showing that even at such a young age he is a force to be reckoned with. For remixes we turn to Russian based Swoy, who delivers a pumping rework sure to find its way into many sets. Finally Label owner Niko Maxen steps in again for remix duties finishing off the EP dreamy interpretation of Justin's original.

Once upon a time, the footjob crew moved into a new studio space in their hometown Darmstadt. This location was previously used by a religious community that found its purpose in the worship of Shiloh. Phonk D and Sascha Ciminiera have somehow absorbed the spirit and created this EP as if by magic. In order to enjoy this spiritual journey even more, they asked Johannes “the wizard” Albert for his support. He was immediatly hooked, threw a few herbs together and brewed them a tasty remix.

Voynich returns with it's 3rd release this time 4 heavyweight cuts from Porter of Certain Circles & Elevate Berlin.

As club music flows, ladeep limited refreshes the catalog from LDN to CBA featuring Justin Pak (High Pressure Music), JustGrowth (4plae), Dellacasa (Re.Face) and Twodeep (Rubisco). Four top notch recruits to Ladeep collection.

"Christos Mavridis is a many of many guises. He's done an EP on - House is OK , some Tech House on Noir Music, Kindisch or Get Physical and right now he's preparing a tier-1 Techno career...For S4AW he delivers a dancefloor-heavy House Music EP showing off his wide sound horizon, influenced by tek-oriented House tracks like from Schatrax, XDB or Makam. - Black Pearls is that perfect, deep, technoid House Monster at 128bpm - deeper than deep. - Era Of Consciousnes surprises with some Disco sample slickness, in case you're looking for sunny summertime memories.Phillip Lauer & Gerd Janson alias - Tuff City Kids deliver a Ragga-influenced, rave-strikes back remix par excellance. It's their tribute to Groover Klein, DJ at the legendary MILK! Club in Mannheim in the early 90s.And finally there's another original Eddoh production, a hypnotic Tribal tune named - Down Low , blowing the air horn like it's 1992."

early support:
And.Id, Andrew Soul, Axel Boman, Dave DK, Filburt, Jacques Renault, Johannes Volk, Joseph Capriati, Kiko Navarro, Mathias Schaffhäuser, Melon, Mihai Popescu, Mirco Violi, Robert Owens, Roberto Rodriguez, Horse Meat Disco,...

Smile for a while' has recently moved to Berlin and calls for Jana Falcon, a local, emerging House Music producer .
"Falling (Again Boy)" is an intricate fusion of Garage and House textures, it's a sultry, catchy tune with stunning spoken-word vocals and a bed of fuzzy beats that give it a really contemporary gloss.Things then go off in another direction with the brilliantly named, "Contemplation of Inadequacy". This one is crafted on another hypnotic tip, drawing the listener in with another bevy of atmospheric vocals and a bassline that's pure fire.
In "Petrias' House" Jana goes for a more upfront House sound. Simmering piano keys lend this one a sun-soaked flourish; precisely the tonic for the fast-approaching summer.
The release closes with a thoroughly banging remix by We Play House man, Dynamodyse. A tune that's thoroughly engaging and is sure to get your head in

After his widely appreciated debut EP on S4AW Kolja remixed Cassius & Pharrell Williams on Ed Banger (yup!) and released some original stuff on Suol and Kakudo. Now he's back on board of the S4AW boat with a monster double EP - House for diggers, lovers and everyone else who's got Soul.

Remixes come courtesy of Philpot Honcho Soulphiction another one by well-respected French producer Bruno Hovart aka Patchworks.

Alltogether a Double EP bubbling over with excitement for Funk, Soul, Disco and Flutes (of course!). Tons of samples and complex drumming crafted the unique Kolja-kinda-way, with everything from deepest, jazzy Deep House Excursions over the typical Disco Slammers to funky excursions with Kolja on Rhodes Piano and Vocals himself...

At just 22 years old, Kolja Gerstenberg is not exactly the stereotypical producer of current times. His affinity to Funk, Soul, Disco & Jazz Rock brought him to study drums at a decent German university, even though the real glory days of Disco preceded his birth.

His passion for electronic music is part of a Gerstenberg family tradition. Breast-fed Rhythm & Grooves galore, Kolja's dad was touring with legendary Trance live act 'Afrotrance' during the early 1990s; releasing on R&S, Harthouse, etc. And guess what he was the percussionist, performing in legendary clubs like 'Dorian Gray' or OMEN in Frankfurt.

Now Kolja's ready to take over and let the drums roll. The Smile for a While guys came across him via soundcloud and instantly liked his unique style of House Music, combining complex drumming with oldschool samples and crazy arrangements.

One of both the label & Kolija's biggest hero's loved the tracks as well - namely Move D. Between his everlasting, world-wide tour routine he managed to squeeze in a bass line monster of a remix - the first he's done in two years!

Schiggeria are Kolja Gerstenberg & Atbin Milani, both from Weilburg. Their status as crime lords of Weilburg will surely be cemented by this EP. House for diggers, lovers and everyone else who's got Soul.

Some more uncut diamonds by S4AW... Robert Nedelcu aka Lecsicu from rural Romania is only 26 but already a skillful and dedicated producer of oldschool-flavoured House Music with a tek-edge. On top we've got vocals by Berinika van Wyk a singer born in South Africa. Robert was inspired by guys like Rick Wade, Mr. G, Kerri Chandler, and of course Moodyman. His trademark are strong percussions, little harmonies every now and then and a 'tracky' atmo to his tunes that sound very Chicago-ish.
All three original tunes are pure, vintage-style House Music a little on the tech side. So this clearly is an EP for the dancefloor and for early morning sessions when the sun's coming up again...
'Route to 95' received a groundbreaking rework by Detroit House Music veteran Gari Romalis. With incredibly deep subbass sequencies he makes this tune a deep jam like you never heard one before.

After a short hiatus to Axe on Wax and his return to Tieffrequent records Monosoul is coming back to S4AW, too...

Monosoul's signature sound is still there and yet has changed a bit. More bouncing basslines, more deepness and more Synth textures...

On remix credits we've got Atlanta's very own Byron The Aquarius. 2016 was an exceptionally good year for him in the biz with releases on Wild Oats, Sound Signature,
etc. In 2017 he will totally go big with his unique, deep - no frills jazzy impro style. So we're more than happy with his own chord jams making up a top notch remix.

What's left to be said Well like Michael Brody put it: Nothing is more important than friendship. Not money, not fame, not death. Crew Love is true love!

UK Garage may have originated in the United Kingdom but its influence continues to extend throughout the underground music scene as new generations discover the work of the genre's pioneers and their rule-book tearing approach to productions which established entirely new rhythms and grooves outside the standard 4x4 house music template. Obstacle Records is a new label that provides a home for established international artists adopting new aliases in order to release productions drawing on Speed Garage, 2-Step and Broken Beat's collective heritage.
Paying homage to the likes of Locked On, Nice & Ripe and Tuff Jam, while also offering fresh new interpretations of their classic sounds, Obstacle's limited-pressing releases will appeal to a broader audience than just UKG revivalists, at a time when the genre's influence can be found in the DJ sets and productions of microhouse heroes, Bristol up & comers and Berghain residents.
Obstacle Records 0101 - The Jam Therapy EP features a pair of 2-step rollers that take the rhythm into deep space, with richly textured soundscapes complimenting the intricate beat structures, while Funk Head's 'Lost In Tijuana' mix of the A-side 'Midnight Hour' adds hip hops beats and vocal snippets for a King Britt/Nervous Records-style understated groover.

Hungarian enigma San Laurentino always had a slow-paced release schedule but has anyway accomplished 12 maxis on a bunch of tier-1 imprints like Let's Play House,

Electric Minds, Mathematics and Live At Robert Johnson.
His distinctive, charming style of synthesizer useage remains unmatched in the world of recent electronic music, hoovering somewhere between Vangelis, Jean-Michel Jarre and
Alan Vega's Suicide.

S4AW proudly presents this artist EP of San Laurentino containing three tunes, connecting the dots between Ambient for after hours, Lounge Music and prime time tracks for a club.
Hear for yourself, surely music to fall in love to...

Sebastian Maschat a.k.a. Stoneage Kid has been around in the House Music scene for about 15 years now: Cult Stoner House with - Extra Produktionen', drummer in Erlend Oye's - Whitest Boy Alive' and numerous other projects.- Stoneage Kid' is an hardware / MPC based act, with own vocals and a very distinctive Electro Pop aesthetique. His first EP on - Smile for a while' creally sounds like Captain Comatose meeting Isolée in some purple haze panic room...You'll find melancholic Drum machine jams, some serious synths, lotsa vocoder and a lot of bassline-bumping. Phillip Lauer delivers a refreshingly cheesy remix with God singing solo and the Holy Ghost on drums - just as expected.- Hang On To A Dream' is quite a special tune, written and sung by German Indie veteran Otto von Bismarck. This Remix version is really something for intimate connoiseurs of both Pop and House Music.

French producer VENDi delivers four originals in diverse moods at one record. All together make it smooth and complete EP ready to enter your bags....

Fake Society Records returns after it's first release with another immense 4-tracker. This time showcasing their second artists, Haokah, a duo on the rise in the Romanian scene.
Haokah who gained respect and collected blissful vibes from those who listened to their live acts in the past year, is marking their name on collections with FS002, Sacred Mirror' EP, a melodical journey that takes one's mind to its subconscious edges

Our latest release on what Came First has been produced by Italy's newest export, Knowhat, who has delivered two original works blended with shades of uplifting house and tech house rhythms.

The original track 'Feel it' is a high-spirited, house-infused creation with soulful vocals and punchy drums, showcasing the artist's ability to shy away from the driving tech house sound he's usually known for.

'Make My Body Groove' is a sultry, alluring piece with infectious, groove-tinged percussion. Suitable to captivate any dancefloor worth its salt from the beginning to end.

Frankfurt based producer Basti Grub is also featured on the EP, re-working the title track. Having touched it down with a minimal techno bass-line, Grub has artfully kept the male vocal hook rolling throughout the mix.

In the year 2001, David Carretta released his fantastic Domination EP on DJ Hell's label International Deejay Gigolo. Vicious Game was a huge success for Carretta and Gigolo. 17 years later we release the track with a new Interpretation from Carretta. The track is coming with a strong remix pack. Mark Broom better known with releases on his own label Beard Man and releases on Robert Hood's M-Plant, Blueprint, Ostgut Ton (to name a few) is coming with two smashing remixes. The second mix from him is coming out as digital only. As a part of the duo Unsubscribe with Dave Clarke, the dutch producer Mr. Jones delivered us a strong Industrial Techno Mix for the peak time Set's. Last remixer on the record is GND Label Head S-File. He remixed a year ago Carretta's Hit Never Control and have a huge Floor Filler record in 2017 with Shelter and Nu Life. That release is after the huge success of Never Control and Machines Invasion, a big highlight in the GND catalog. We hope that you are as much excited as we are about this new Carretta record!

For the first time Relief and Material delivering a vinyl together. Legend Green velvet temas with Mihalis Safras for their own 12inch. HOT

Each vinyl sleeve is individually painted with highly-pigmented acrylic, using a single-movement brush technic. (Limited edition of 500)

ara is a new record label curated by David Letellier, a.k.a Kangding Ray. ara is a platform for recording artists with unique sonic identities that seeks to induce deep emotion through sound ; focusing on singular artistic endeavours, created with patience and dedication. While rooted in electronic club music, ara will not follow any prescribed sonic path : it will explore a palette of diverse sound worlds who evolve through parallel series of curated releases. Each series will represent either a concept or a particular musical direction, which will be mirrored by its own design approach. Since releasing physical records is increasingly becoming an irrational choice, each record will be irrationally produced as an hand-made work of art, involving procedures and techniques such as manually-applied ink, brushed acrylic paint or tape. Each edition will be individually numbered, recognisable as a part of a whole, while being slightly different by nature. The first release, by label curator Kangding Ray, will be the first step of this journey : organic, emotional club music, for the body and mind.

Liviu Groza's « Say Something » is a minimal & complex architectonical piece of music with emotions.
Building up the track on a very efficient rhythmical basis, the producer introduces a dubby touch through trippy synths napps, an ethereal voice, discrets claps & creates a singular & hypnotic atmosphere which brings listeners/dancers to an introspective state of consciousness between euphoria & nostalgia.
Nicolas Duvoisin's remix is a kind of deconstruction game of the original between excellent micro-house & groovy deep tech: mental (the atmospheric & dubby elements are still present in the background) & dystopic, with a heavy bassline, this track is a dirty sincere invitation to dance & celebrate sweat on a dancefloor

Gel Abril : bomb remix from my boy Nico!
Lauhaus : Both versions sound dope. Thanks
Quenum : Beautiful tracks full support

Label boss Michael McLardy joins forces with Newcastle based Moonlit Vision (What's Nxt/Tough Luck) to present 14 minutes of blissed out house on the A side of their collaborative 'Third Mind EP'. An ideal soundtrack to end the Summer months.

The B side sees the duo provide a remix of Michael's original track 'Pilot', delivered in their trademark sound. Released on vinyl only.

Brazilian label Not For Us has really hit its stride of late, with original from Davis and remixes by L_Cio and label bosses, Rods Novaes and Wender A., marking them out as ones to watch in 2014. Their latest release arrives courtesy of a 3-track original and remix compilation, with one of the label's most emphatic moments to date, Davis´s Love and Lost', proving the basis for three very different - but equally beguiling - interpretations, with a great bassline and vocal bring more 2 remixes from L_Cio with na atmospheric vibe and a more Techno and Dub from Wender & Rods, enjoy this very special release!

On their debut album as DOVS, Tin Man and AAAA summon the ethereal spirit of acid. Tin Man, AKA Johannes Auvinen, has been studying the emotional potential of the Roland TB-303 for 15 years now, and AAAA (Gabo Barranco), a fixture of the Mexico City underground, might as well be his acolyte. While the coincidental similarities of their studio and live approaches make this collaboration feel natural, even expected, Silent Cities is anything but. We recognize most of the elements here—the ubiquitous acid box and hardware drum machines—yet Auvinen and Barranco arrive in new, mysterious territory this time out. Lush arpeggiation, breakbeats and atmosphere imbue tracks like 'Nostalgic Oblivion' with a widescreen grandeur. 'Rene Figures' recalls Specific Momentific-era Cristian Vogel, symphonic, melodic techno with a kick heavy enough for dark, cavernous rooms. Meanwhile, beatless cuts like 'Whining Acid' are as intricately crafted as Tin Man's well-loved classical work (Vienna Blues). But as a duo, they craft a virtuosic harmonic narrative almost solely with 303s. Tin Man and Donato Dozzy's 'Nonneo' was the first release on Acid Test, setting the tone for the label and unlocking new potential for the genre. DOVS' closer on Silent Cities, 'Diazepam Blues', is the label's new melancholic acid anthem and a statement of purpose for Tin Man and AAAA, two hardware masters who have created an album of remarkable emotional depth.










[J}] D2 - Dysphoric Fix

And he is back! After the successful last EP on Terminal M, Metodi brings us again a funky 4 track ep in his very own Hristov style. Enjoy. (Monika Kruse)

One of Stephan and Marc´s biggest tunes ever, Kerberos comes along with brand new remixes.

Diynamic´s Solomun teams up for the first time with Johannes Brecht and their debut convinces with driving beats, fresh sounds and a composition of synth lines which won´t leave your brain anymore.

On the flip side you can find two versions by André Hommen, who has been responsible for countless club weapons on labels like Objektivity, Poker Flat and These Eyes plus Dublin´s poster boy Matador who recently delivered a master piece with his legendary remix of Oxia´s - Domino'.

Sixth release comes from our good friend Akyra with his 'Mind Blow' EP, which includes a remix from Parisian maestro Mancini! Massive support on this one from the likes of Nick Beringer, Arapu, Seb Zito, Rossko, Subb-An, Diego Krause and more

Lee Gamble signs up HXE (fka HEX) for a tightly coiled, hard-edged quartet of deco-rave recces in
the space between sound designer techno, mutant Latinx styles, and polluted megatropolis vapour
noise
Run out 3 years since the London-based duo’s debut with Liberation Technologies, and proceeding
their 2017 EP for Antifur, the ‘INDS’ EP is loosely structured around the practice and aesthetics of
modern, large scale industry. Its 4 tracks are brutalist in resolve and construction, but each derive
a sense of (perhaps perverse) pleasure and sensuality from the warped virtual/physical tension
and crunching industrial intensity of their sounds.
‘Rozay’ opens the A-side with an alarming sort of Industrial dancehall smackdown, all panic-
station strings and pummelling, off-kilter bass with unyielding effect, while the reticulated
writhe of ‘Worm’ synchs breathless synthetic gasps with mechanically reclaimed rhythm with
‘floor-flailing force, and ’Spill’ alternately sustains and vents the tension with lurching, gnashing
dembow dynamics.
Following Zuli’s ‘Terminal’, which ranked highly in the Wire’s AOTY chart, and Nkisi’s resoundingly
acclaimed ‘7 Directions’ album, HXE are a fierce new addition to UIQ’s gang of dancefloor mutants.
In a stark reflection of the music, ’INDS’ will be accompanied by artwork and video in collaboration
with Paris-based sculpture artist Anita Molinero, whose process of salvaging and irreversibly
deforming industrial objects and materials patently mirrors the process and abrasive, malformed
nature of HXE’s music.
