House Vinyl New Releases - News

theBasement proudly presents DÍAS DE CAMPO RECORDS, the Montanejos' boutique music festival 12” imprint. Valencia’ theBasement crew has created an enduring legacy, and the power of their impact is visceral in Spain. DDC Records is an opportunity to stablish the sound of the 6th edition of one of the best music festivals for vinylovers.

Días de D-D-D-D-Dope (DDC001) has the mark of the beast. OTIS, the berlin-based live performer and producer solo EP has been kicking around the best dancefloors and summer festivals. The music itself is beyond stereotype. A four track album featuring some of the artist genre choice: electro, breaks, house and progressive critically acclaimed hits including singles such as “Extra Dimension”, “E3rea”, “D-D-D-D Dope” and “Floxy”. But more than just some anthems, it is a freedom of thinking that extends beyond boxes.

For its first release on newly launched, fully licensed label DISCOLIDAYS, The Reflex tackles two underground disco cuts remixed from the original multitrack for the very first time.

‘The Voice of Q’ is a leftfield electro disco gem originally released in 1982 on Philly World records. Produced by the studio team behind the label, the track has become a cult classic but had never been remixed from the stems until now. The Reflex brings it up to date with the added discovery of a pre-vocoder vocal and a full rap vocal that were left unused in the tapes, highlighting the funk bass to the max while pushing the cosmic vibes envelope even further.

‘Everybody Loves A Good Funk’ is a rather obscure ghetto disco-funk produced by none other than John Davis (of the John Davis Orchestra fame) that was recorded at Sigma Sound studios in Philly in 1980 for the Midsong International label. Heavy synth bass, super punchy horns and a devastating groove make up for one hell of a dancefloor killer revision. Again remixed strictly from the tapes for the first time, The Reflex gives this Ruth “Silky” Waters track the shine it always deserved.

With both tracks running at 118 bpm, this release will speak to a wide range of DJ’s and music lovers, from the disco-house contingent to early electro disco fans alike and beyond.

This is the first vinyl release on DISCOLIDAYS (with digital to follow), a new label by remixer extraordinaire The Reflex, fully licensed from the copyrights holders, with more exciting releases to come.

DJ Support:
Dave Lee / Gilles Peterson / Dimitri from Paris / François K / Glitterbox / Skream / The Blessed Madonna / Bill Brewster

You can't say Shuray without saying Walle. As one of Leipzig's DJ teams of the moment, they play by merging into a synergistic unit with four arms, four ears, and two hearts. Their first joint release "International Licence" on Filburt's label O*RS sounds accordingly pleasantly balanced and mature. The two Distillery residents focus on a music genre that has unfortunately and unjustly received less attention lately: Deep House. The three original tracks are universally applicable due to their stripped-down, Detroit-inspired timeless sound. From the most underrated slot of the DJ craft, the warm-up, to the early morning hours: The 909's spellbinding, pumping force will do its job. On the remix duties is highly talented Lea Lisa from the Wolf Music fame. For her 303 Mental Remix she adds an irresistible acid bassline (quelle surprise) and creates probably the most peak time-affine tune of the whole EP. Shuray & Walles first extended player is a perfect example for reduced but clever arrangements and above all for the fact that the best ship is friendship.

Delighted for our first vinyl release, a selection of four artists from around the world expressing their own story with these magnificent sounds.

This latest instalment of ARTHUR BAKER Presents DANCE MASTERS finds the production/ song-writing/ remixing maestro taking the spotlight for a long overdue snapshot of his own classic 12” mixes during a crucial evolution of dance music, club
and pop culture.

“I’ve always felt like I was on a mission to make music from the time I heard Motown, Philly and Sly and the Family Stone. My mission started as a hobby and still feels like one now. You’ve got to keep on pushing and hustling. It can be a drag sometimes but
if you really love what you’re doing, it’s worth the work. I still really love what I do.”

Arthur Baker helped codify the remixer as artist. His genre-fluid approach to projects
has resulted in a joyous myriad of classics that spans many decades. This ’80’s focused DANCE MASTERS collection offers a welcome glimpse at Baker’s illustrious career and many long out-of-print 12” versions and previously unavailable mixes.

This 35-track, six LP expanded edition includes a wide array of selections from the likes of Robbie Nevil’s “C’est La Vie,” Fleetwood Mac’s “Big Love,” Neneh Cherry’s “Buffalo Stance”, Jeffrey Osborne “Soweto”, Freeez “I.O.U”, Rockers Revenge “Walking On Sunshine” and of course the juggernaut “Planet Rock” with Afrika Bambaataa & Soulsonic Force.

Complete with in-depth liner notes by Bill Coleman, track by track notes written by Arthur Baker himself, previously unseen session photos from Arthur’s personal archives and a signed insert.

Andrea Pellegrinelli and Davide Brugola are two men born and bred in the traditions of italo and electro disco. The duo, as Forklift & Saw, release their debut 12', Regression, as they melt past influences into the present. Meandering hooks, emotion soaked keys and snapping rhythms are at the centre of this Milan partnership's music. Across four tracks the pair delivers crashing snares, starlit synths and rumbling arpeggiators. Infectious full bodied funk oozes from this fledgling outfit, crisp percussion supporting their night gazing melodies. Welcome to the world of Forklift & Saw.

First ever production Fred P and Cassy have done together on Cassy's label Kwench Records remixed by Steve Rachmad who turned in two masterfully remixed tracks that present Steve's very deep and soulful side as a producer.

A hard to find sci-fi Detroit techno classic - it's featured everywhere from Marcel Dettmann to Zip's SW sets.- gets a timely reissue complete with a new, super solid Delano Smith remix. It's hard not to love the original in all its futuristic glory, led by a sturdy four-to-the-floor pummelling but boasting a throbbing neo-disco bassline - imagine a lost Gorgio Moroder classic being remade by Jeff Mills in PurposeMaker mode. But the Delano Smith remix updates it for modern palates, ironically by delving back even further, to the early 70s model Kraftwerk from whom he borrows some very austere but classy synth sounds and a touch of electro syncopation. Take your pick according to mood, they both do the job admirably.

2 Tracker from Parisian, Kléo - pumped up machine music that doesn't hold back.. TIP!

Kléo has been earning her stripes over the past decade and a half as both a distinct visual artist and well-respected dj. Refraining from the mainstream narrative she always remained close to her heart to express the unsaid. As her path embarks on to the next chapter it’s with great passion that she presents the first outing on her newborn label Call 4 Rhythm. A mind dazing invitation to let go and sense the raw, the rough. As much as it’s an authentic yet rugged dance floor affair, it guards the spirit and virtue of honesty. Elements which have been the backbone throughout every form of art she has shared over the years.

Dial 1 for ‘Deep Agogo’ sets off nostalgically, lingering keys remind of long gone days while menacing lines of acid make their way through the surface to ease in between robust percussive beats.

The flip houses the devastating Chicago-infused version, a statement bewildered by forceful 303 execution. Don’t be surprised if ‘Let’s Agogo’ prompts filthy facial expressions along the smouldering moments of this jackin’ beat-down. Roughly eight minutes to soar in total let go.

Dutch producer Lennart debuts on KopjeK Records’ second release with a 4-track electro EP called “Vitamin D”. It features three originals; the Italo and Trance infused club track called “Koalas March” is on the A-side, accompanied by the more dreamy “Vitamin D”. On the other side there is “I Don’t Know Your Life”, a more sentimental approach, which was made together with his partner in crime Lola. French producer Kendal, well known for his releases on Dischi Autunno, Moustache Records and Ritmo Fatale, is on remix duty. He took “I Don’t Know Your Life” for a more old school electro ride. The release came together in the first big lockdown in The Netherlands. The weird times of having to stay home and not being able to play gave Lennart the opportunity and inspiration to create this stellar EP. Early support comes from the likes of Biesmans, Tjade, DC Salas, Mouissie & Miimo.

“Music gives us a place to be lost. Washing away thought, place, time and identity. It’s in the falling into the river, the dream, that we find just who we could be”.

Classically trained cellist, composer and storyteller Lihla (Lih-Qun Wong) presents her debut album, ‘Socha’ for A Strangely Isolated Place. Combining a vast instrumental skillset of piano, cello, electronics and spoken word, she crafts intensely immersive aural-hallucinatory worlds of intricately shifting landscapes.

A deeply personal work, Socha explores the ‘diaspora of time and space, and why we all feel so displaced.' Piano chapters capture the meeting place between memory and longing, while explorational vocal and cello textures invoke and echo the ancient, the feminine, and the otherworldly.

Lihla’s voice guides us, weaving through electronics and field recordings of the ‘real-world' to set the path for a poetic and deeply haunting journey through the internal psyche that is truly transportive and escapist.

‘Socha’ will be available on transparent smoke 12” and digital.

Outside In is back in quick succession with number 3, this time from two artists close to home.

LVCA & Justin Pakzad combine for an EP for the first time, with a top remix from one of our favourites, German electro maestro - Christian Gleinser.

Long-time friend of the label Man/ipulate is back on Lumbago Records with a first solo EP under his new alias : Man/igance. New project means new touch! With a blend of new beat and techno influences over 4 tracks, this release highlights the artist’s versatility and capability to capture the essence of dance music while remaining very fresh. A must have!

YUNG DUMB Records returns to Argentina for YD019 with the 'Feel Alright' EP by Manuel Sahagun. The Buenos Aires house maestro offers up a 4-tracker, kicking off the EP with the title song which provides nothing short of an infectious swinging groove, with dusty vocals and percussion layered over dubby stabs. For the follow up, a classic techno-oriented homage by Montreal's Fred Everything for remix duties. The B-Side delves into stranger territory with 'Mellow', a brooding, deep and melodic house cut. Lastly, the record closes out with 'No More', a haunting ambient tune with minimal percussion for the headphones and night drives alike.

It’s 8am in the morning. Speakers pumpin. A few sunbeams
streaking your face. Spotting your crush. Fallin’ in love all
over again!

2024 Repress

The Berlin-based techno and house producer and DJ Oliver Koletzki has fully committed himself to his roots for this album. They can be traced back to pop music of the 80ies and 90ies, while his productions still manage to transport the fresh energy of today's electronic music productions. "Großstadtmärchen" is a perfect example for a producer's album: Oliver Koletzki has created a musically compact long player while working together with many different singers. Both established artists like Mieze Katz from the German electro-pop outfit MIA., the hot German pop-rock-singer Axel Bosse, critically acclaimed indie band Kate Mosh as well as newcomers such as Fran, Pyur and Juli Holz have contributed to the album. The result are ten songs that easily fluctuate between catchy pop tracks, modern house grooves and 80ies synthesizer pop yet still maintaining a very own Koletzkieske sound dynamic.

"Großstadtmärchen", which translates as "The tale of the big city" starts off with "THIS IS LEISURE". Famous pop singer Mieze Katz has put down her sexy voice on a guitar-based song pattern that functions as an ideal introduction into the craziness of the big city tales. After hearing this, the listener is directly fully drawn into this world when hearing Juli Holz's softly whispering voice singing about the dilemmas of love in the big city on "ZUCKERWATTE" (Single release date: 7.9.09). This is a very fine electro-pop tune. Coming up next Oliver Koletzki and Axel Bosse board an underground train that takes them around the Berlin U-Bahn system and back. Axel Bosse, who has had a massive success with his song "3 Millionen" adds his melancholic voice to this groovy pop anthem and sings about the poetic magic of public transport, while we hear the sounds of the trains on top. Of course, Oliver Koletzki has added some purely instrumental tracks on his album, too: "KUSSKOMPATIBEL" and "WARSCHAUER STRASSE" are a journey back to Oliver's first years in Berlin and his love for house music. "KLEINES ZWISCHENSPIEL" also celebrates the energetic sound of electronic music. Then there is another great shine of bright light with the pop track "HYPNOTIZED" that is already making airwaves on German radio. It features the newcomer singer Fran that turns this track into a wonderful electronic love story. In her beautiful crystal clear voice Fran tells the story of those moments during the night that decide where it's going to end: a song about love, passion and the energy between male and female, a catchy pop anthem about the first dance, the first kiss and that special moment when the night turns into day. Oliver has equipped this song with a wonderful piano melody and a very smooth and poppy electronic beat. Actually it sounds like Fran and Oliver have never been doing anything else than produce wonderfully fresh pop songs together.

The tale of the city carries on with a very appealing mixture of indie rock and electronic music. "HEADSHAPED BOX" encapsulates what Indietronic sounds like in the year 2009: symphonic, melodic and simply unique. On "THESE HABITS" the just seventeen-year-old singer Pyur makes her debut. This down-beat triphop-groove is a wonderful hit for the late summer. Last up is a bonus track: Oliver Koletzki remixes "NIMM MICH MIT" by the electronic boy-band Die Raketen.

"Großstadtmärchen": This title is chosen for a reason. The story behind Oliver Koletzki is also a magical tale of believing in yourself. Since he is 12 years old, Oliver makes music, by himself or in bands: it is the love for the energy of soundwaves that makes him work hard on himself. In 2005 Oliver Koletzki celebrates the big breakthrough by releasing his hit "Mückenschwarm" on the label of techno grand daddy Sven Väth Cocoon Records. It becomes not only the biggest tune of the year, but also the best selling single on Cocoon Records ever. With this success in mind, Oliver directly realises his dream of starting his own label to promote newcomers. Stil vor Talent also becomes the platform for the release of his first album "Get Wasted" in 2007. One year later, Oliver proves his intuition for pop music when he signs the track "3 Tage Wach" by Lützenkirchen. He makes a low-budget-video for the track that gets an astronomically large half a million views on YouTube within the first three weeks. At least from here it is obvious: Oliver Koletzki is not your average techno producer. His productions and his sense for orginal music also have a deep rooting within pop culture. Thus "Großstadtmärchen" is the logical consequence from two decades of intense musical production: here comes a mature, yet still playful pop album that manages to combine many different influences into one harmonious oeuvre. It shows just how close the dancefloor and pop music really always were, and still are.

New Omar-S

In the heart of Poland's electronic music landscape, a transcendent force has emerged in the form of Trance-Atlantyk, a entity devoted to cosmic tingled sounds of the electronic music universe which humans tend to describe as progressive house, proto trance, ambient house.

The creation of this new sonic organism can be traced back to two seasoned veterans that have not only witnessed but also actively shaped the evolution of the Polish electronic music scene for the last 20 years. For now they conceal their true identity under the nicknames of Pankoff & DJ Varius Trax.

Trance-Atlantyk is not just a dynamic and eclectic DJ duo that finds pleasure in all manner of progy, trancey, floaty, breaky and housey sounds that clocks in between 130 and 150 BPM; it's also a series of events and a record label that extends its influence across physical and digital realms. With a commitment to preserving the authenticity of electronic music, Trance-Atlantyk releases music on both vinyl and digital platforms. This dedication to the tangible and the digital reflects the duo's forward-thinking attitude, ensuring that their sonic creations reach audiences in diverse ways.

The very first release, which is also the creation of Pankoff & DJ Varius Trax pays homage to domestic pop seamleesly blending it with euphoric, uplifting and high octane club-oriented music.

The “Sound of Poldon” EP (“Poldon” being a slang word for Poland) kicks off with “I want to tell you”, an energetic, proggy house track that contains vocal snippets from one of polish most popular tracks of the last decade (which originally got released in 1979, but rose to prominence thanks to and edit that got released by The Very Polish Cut Outs in 2015). An anthemic chorus is pitched up & looped to the max for ultimate satisfaction. More experienced listeners will surely also recognize a few other notes in the background bringing back old-school trance memories.

“Moon Song” is a massive dj tool that evolves after the breakdown into a nostalgic and euphoric peak time anthem. The hypnotic vocal parts that are sampled from one of the biggest Polish hits of the 90s era by Varius Manx, will take you back to the glorious past with the kick going 130 beat per minute.

The B-side starts with a huge bop called “Punch Bowl”, a hip-hop infused & breakbeat-oriented acid roller providing hypnotic rap vocals from one of the most prominent underground anthems of the last decade. Dreamy synth stabs colide with cascades of snares and brokean beats and agressive acid elements. The whole tense and pumping track concludes with a soothing outro.

The EP ends with “Jeny”, an atmospheric and vibrant cut with a broad palette of different emotions. A heavy bassline is pushing the affair forward, with a chorus that is simply hypnotic and captivating, while synths and trancey elements add an impeccable flavour to the whole business. A massive club jam.

This year Santa put a special gift under the Christmas tree. The newborn Blind Spot label comes with a highly sought reissue of the house masterpiece released in 2001 by the italian trio Polythree.

Stick Around contains three club-ready stompers ready to burn any dancefloor and already played by great selectors in several festivals.
On the A-side, the Poker Did Da Dub Mix represents the essential clubby track with its pumping punchy beats and its groovy rhythm. Flip the record and enjoy two different mixes, the Night Breeze Mix and the New Wave Mix. Both tracks release a strong flavour of Italo-Disco with rolling drum patterns and uplifting synthetizers.

34 years after Terry Farley created the seminal remixes of Loaded and Come Together for Primal Scream he returns to the band to remix a brand new track ‘Ready To Come Home’. Only available via white label.

Curated by Lazy Susan (2StepBec, oliver.r and Zeus) the Truffle101 project sees the light of day this Spring with their inaugural release from co-founder oliver.r under his Raynerfromfinance moniker. The first on the label explores a multitude of textures, gliding between sleek jazz, hazy dub, ethereal ambience and everything in between. Music from the soul, for the soul, as the man on the numbers, Raynerfromfinance shares his debut offering in the realms of downtempo productions.

A loungey quest paying testament to the versatile direction of the Truffle101 label, a project from three aficionados of the slower end of the spectrum, looking to share idyllic sounds from friends and artists they meet along the way, presenting them to a new and appreciative audience.

“Please make yourself comfortable, sit back and relax, whilst we take you on this journey of the sounds of Truffle101”

Saib introduces "Jazzy Cats", his new house EP. The Berlin-based music producer, originally from Casablanca, is ushering in a fresh era of jazzy house beats. As one of the most renowned lo-fi artists, known for his hit "Sakura Trees," which has amassed over 66 million streams across various platforms, he now explores a new rhythm, utilizing his beatmaking talents to craft six tracks that will undoubtedly inspire you to dance and groove all night. Featuring collaborations with Felipe Gordon and Tour-Maubourg, this house sound will elevate your mood and keep you dancing till dawn.

Since its inception in 2022 the PILLZ label has built a reputation for refined underground moods, and “Take A Chill Pill” is certainly no different.; The astounding Belgian producer; Session 4000 maneuvers and delievers 4 cuts between gritty shades of house and electro. This EP shifts the night into fifth gear with spaced out atmosfears and direct drive.

Here is a producer whose experience for the hazy after hours takes us deep into such imagined trips as a “ravey conga paradise”, or some “hypnotic textured blend of vox sampled hits,” or twisted ravey motions, and big bass lines that blast the floor.
