House Vinyl New Releases - News

Parallel Berlin head Daniela La Luz returns to her home away from home, HOUSEWAX with a few friends to rework her modern classic, "Did You Ever".

Originally released in 2014 "Did You Ever" was an instant classic amongst decerning house heads, but it was when Detroit legend, Moodymann dropped it as closing track on his DJ Kicks compilation the year later. The light well and truly spun onto La Luz and her sublime approach of house and techno.

Now to kick off 2018 Housewax have invited Virgo 4, Dah Ruh and Cinthie to offer their spin on "Did You Ever". Together they each offer 3 unique takes from house to deep techno, yet managing to stay true to the soulful flavor of the original.

If anyone deserves to have the name Don, it’s Don Carlos. Responsible for one of the most influential and genre-defining deep house tracks of all time the Italian legend more than lives up to his name being a true master of his craft. In 1991 his debut release Alone was presented to the world via Calypso Records and quickly gained classic status, blissing out dancefloors worldwide with it’s euphoric piano stabs, sun-drenched strings and laidback groove. Establishing the blueprint for what would become known as ‘Italian dream-house’ Don Carlos would follow up a year later with another masterpiece in the form of a mini LP entitled Mediterraneo which took influence from the Chicago master Larry Heard but added a European ‘Balearic’ perspective which would pave the way for a wave of warm, emotive late night house tracks emanating from Bel Paese.

Don Carlos releases have been fairly sporadic since his seminal early 90’s output so Freerange is very happy to bring you brand new material in the form of the I’m Steel Here EP. Across the three original tracks we get to hear him revisit the vibe from those early years whilst bringing things bang up to date for todays DJ’s and dance floors. The title track marries a driving Italo synth bassline with trademark Carlos strings and piano to form an uplifting club track which will lift the spirits of all who hear it. Azimuth comes next cutting up and filtering a piano hook calling the mighty Trackheadz to mind, a gated vocal sample adding a distinctly 90’s hook for a nostalgic slice of regal house. Closing out this gem of an EP we have In The Sky which loops up a classic feel good disco riff for a mid tempo house jam which bumps along nicely and will create the perfect mood in any warm up set worth its salt.

Yellow Jackets number four follows the direction of the previous releases with more phat jams spread on a vinyl only 12’.

This time Fred P, who certainly doesnt need any introduction and who’s labels Private Society and Perpetual Sounds are distributed by Mother Tongue, offers the rhythmic yet melodic and spiritually engaging ‘Inspired By Dopeness’.

Chicago’s own Specter and Madrid’s Josè Rico, who often work together as Our Own Organization, go extradeep, raw and hipnotic on the other side with the aptly titled ‘You Don’t Believe’.

No frills, just the good shit!

Local Talk is back again with a fantastic album from Soulphiction who gets deep, down and dirty with this bumping selection of timeless house tracks across 3 pieces of beautifully packaged vinyl...

Dusty grooves and soulful emotion form the foundation of this release, which also takes influence from Jazz, Hip Hop and Afrobeat.

Soulphiction aka Michel Baumann is one of Germany's most respected artists who is also known under the equally successful and iconic alias Jackmate.
This is the third time Soulphiction has featured on Local Talk including his recent single "Beehive". Other labels to have featured Soulphiction tracks and remixes include Lumberjacks in Hell, Rebirth, Pampa and Philpot Records.

A master of both mood and texture, this release showcases the studio wizardry of a true sound-smith.
Chunky percussion with shuffling rhythms form the backbone of the grooves, which are fleshed out with intricate melodies and funky basslines that move mind, body and soul.

Like the tracklist of a J Dilla mixtape, this album flows with a purposeful care combined with a storytelling blend of emotions rarely heard in a house music long player.

Executed to perfect precision, this album is an instant classic and a must-have for home listening along with a club setting.

After the mixtapes that talk about iconic personalities of our time, two albums "Aller-Retour" and "Minuit" that revisit the 70's and 80's, one of which is certified as a Golden Record, the three music lovers, always curious to invent hybrid formats fed by their passion, launched in 2020 their label BE Records. The concept? In a logic of talent scouts and in the continuity of their mixtapes, the idea is once again to promote their musical favourites. The whole thing will be brought together in an annual compilation.

Unveiled on December 11, 2020, the first indie pop and nu-disco compilation, soberly called 001, was a great success, with a limited edition of vinyls quickly sold out, and more than 2 million plays on the platforms. The 2nd edition, like Bon Entendeur's 2nd album, will be divided into 2 parts, a Day part (pop, indie) and a Night part (house, disco).

Tracklist partially embargoed, a new track will be unveil every week until the release date

On their fourth upcoming release, These Tasty Records select a variety of old friends and new artists, promising to make it another exciting one. Karaba, SINM, Sunaas & Aymeric.

There is a wealth of talent on show on the third EP from the Fusion Sequence label which has put together this six-track deep house sizzler. The Variable Club' 'Biorhythms' is perfectly warm and dynamic for cosy backroom moments and Alpine DJ then brings an old school piano feel to 'Pepe Nony' before A Vision Of Panorama zones you out on lush chords and reverential keys on 'Kissing The Sun.' The flipside offers the more dark and heads-down 'Many Stories' while the blissed-out and feel-good grooves return with Common Mode's 'Bassface.' Body Corp shuts down with the slower, seductive sounds of 'Take It Or Leave It' which rounds out a top-class EP.

A recent Billboard No 1 containing full length DJ versions previously unreleased on 12 inch - featuring the full length funk version alongside House versions from Chicago hero Mike Dunn, and Baltimore's mighty DJ Spen & Thommy Davies. Pressed on Red Vinyl

After a stellar year of releases, Fred P’s Private Society gears up for another journey into the other. Starting with “Vol. 3: Music Is For The People;” an original Black Jazz Consortium track appearing on this EP as a Fred P Reshape. This one is accompanied by a reprise with an afro latin vibe that takes the tune into another realm. The B Side travels into more eclectic fusion as Fred goes deeper in to electronic hybrids. Good Vibration, a piano driven track, leads you to a peak feeling good and the mood evaluates through out going into over drive mid way with a dazzling solo by Slikk Tim. Closing out on Vol.3 is the track Profound Science hails back Fred P’s early days of visualization and preparations for what is a successful musical journey. Profound Science is lyrically forward with a baseline that describes determination; it is a rally for manifesting your future in the now.

RON TRENT's GEMINI JAZZ presents "EARTH DANCE" & ABSOLUTION for MUSIC & POWER's 15TH release. This release is a world music journey with heavy percussion & thematic melody. "EARTH DANCE" features a powerful indigenous component by MC QUESE. "ABSOLUTION" is an amazing Latin percussive track.

Black Angus Records is proud to present ‘Beautiful Ghost’
an Ep by Brando. Although a newcomer, Brando Calmonte
is already known in Berlin and Italy for his rhythmic vigor
and energetic dj sets. Starting out as a multiinstrumentalist, he seamlessly made his way into music as
an electro-acoustic composer and sound designer. The
young Italian artist has already being praised by some of
the best in the music scene. The four-track EP vinyl
‘Beautiful Ghost’ illustrates a fusion of raw sounds and
gritty old-school grooves which coincides with the
romantic vocal melodies that invoke a soulful dimension.
The release includes a remix by DJ Soch, known in the
scene as ‘Italian Stallion’ and the founder of Black Angus
Records.

Heist Recordings regulars and all-time good guys Fouk are back! Their ‘Blue Steel’ EP is filled with their signature grooves, chords and samples and might surprise a few of you out there. The sound design is top notch as always and there’s some rough edges on these tracks for an added bit of depth and personality. Next to that, the boys collaborated with the talented Dutch saxophone player Rebiere, who features on the title track. The EP holds 3 originals and a beautiful remix by Girls of the Internet. We can assure you that this EP on Heist - their fourth on Heist since their critically acclaimed ‘Kill Frenzy’ EP back in 2015 - is one you don’t want to miss. The EP kicks off with the gritty live jam ‘Blue Steel’, where Rebiere’s saxophone solo is accompanied by a killer bass line and some lovely off-kilter percussion. It’s deep, it’s jazzy and at the same time it’s a track that packs some serious peak-time punch. ‘Don’t you want to Boogie’ ups the tempo and energy and can only be described as a 100% feel good filter-house track. It’s got loops, loops and then some more loops. Mesmerizing, funky and unpretentious: this one is just here to boogie. The B1 is reserved for the low end thump of the Girls of the internet remix of ‘Blue Steel’. After having released his album ‘Girls FM’ only a few months back and a remix compilation for UNKLE, we’re glad he found the time to work on the remix and deliver this gem of a track. GOTI goes for an eyes shut, dancing-in-your-bedroom version with smooth keys accompanying the sax solo. Last but not least, ‘Money’ shows yet another side of Fouk’s sound, where we see the boys throwing in some beefed up disco funk. The tongue-in-cheek vocals and the squeaking acid line recorded over at the Dam Swindle studio together make for a

Italian artist Ocu is back for his 2nd release on the highly regarded Detroit side label. 'More Roads' is a jam packed 4 tracker that has the optimum balance of house party and club music while keeping the raw house feel the main focus. If you need the ideal record to point to that's currently a definitive house music classic, this is it!


'Fall Down' begins the EP in pure Detroit house style. The groove is highly addictive. All the well-placed elements ooze classic house music. Nothing goes over the top or tries to hard making this a sure-fire tracky winner. 'Raw Break' brings the fun back to house music. The broken beat works brilliantly with the keys and bassline to give it an almost Theo Parrish vibe as the melody creeps in to seal the deal. 'Feel Da Heart' has everything and more to be the house track of the summer. Understated and equally has smoothest of peaks and valley's. This truly could only come from an Italian's viewpoint of what is Detroit house music. That perfect blend of the two. Lastly, the title track bring it home with another memorable jam


After chatting with Ocu we understand his life work has been about exploring and consuming deep sounds. His background of repairing musical equipment for artist's along with his search for who in the scene was using those deep sounds the most creatively. It's that kind of background and devotion that sets up the foundation for this kind of quality of house music to then be made. And its no surprise that Detroit Side is the home for this memorable EP.

Five track new killer EP featuring Lost Balearic classics-not-classics, deep down rare boogie, gospel & soul and places beyond! Very tastefully edited & re-mastered to seduce you into merriment and dance 'Everything you’re about to hear is true'. Limited copies don't sleep on this one!

Volume 20 of Attack the Dancefloor kicks off with what we think will be a future classic – ‘Atlantia’ by Level 42’s Mike Lindup. A stunning mid-tempo boogie cut with great spacey production, excellent lyrics and an extended mix by Dave Lee.

Next up is Lazywax’s synth heavy, 80s soul style rework of the forthcoming Raw Essence ‘Do it Again’, the original being featured on Produced With Love 2.

Flip it over for Dave’s much played take of Jungle’s crossover hit ‘Keep Moving’, which gives the song an authentic bassline driven disco mix. Last up Chicago’s Emmaculate delivers a live instrumentation filled afro disco version of Doug Willis feat Zeke Manyika ‘Dougswana’.

The thing with biscuits is, you can rarely get enough. Luckily the second batch of extra crunchy disco biscuits is fresh out of the oven courtesy of Luv Shack Records! On “If You”, Lee Stevens teams up with Ken Hayakawa for a slab of high octane house music, followed by Das Komplex’ “Odmewianie”, a quirky mid tempo balearic number with strong Belgian new beat flavour.LeSale goes full on nordic disco with the upbeat yet mysterious “What Lies Beyond”, and, lastly, Jakobin & Domino deliver a flawlessly floating house shuffler by the name of “Square One”. That’s the way the biscuits crumble!

There’s a sense of adventure in the
grooves of Dereck Higgins’ new
album, Future Still.
Nebraskan Higgins takes equal parts
Kraftwerk, Prince and the Missouri River to
come up with his own unique take on
modern electronic music.
He does this by laying down waves of
sound that produce propulsive energy,
which then mixes with water in the air,
birthing glistening silver and gold droplets.
A shimmering pattern is inscribed on the
sky, spelling thoughts with shapes,
coloring actions. A hue of golden pink,
flashed through with emerald ivory...
Opalescent mist of a tangerine dream.
Dereck’s history of involvement in
Midwest music is decades long, primarily
as a bass player in countless punk, psych
and prog bands including Son Ambulance,
RAF, InDREAMA, and Digital Sex.
As Higgins himself acknowledges: “I am
a professional mental health specialist with
a 30 year career, but I am also a self taught
musician.
“I mostly go project to project but have
begun to get better at putting together a
timeline of work... Staying busy is the key.”
He also hosts a popular YouTube
channel which has been described as
“comfort food for music nerds”.
The last decade has seen a steady
stream of self-released records of his own
solo atmospheric electronics punctuated
with psych workouts and the occasional
pop song - snapped up by the
connoisseurs in his ever-growing fanbase.
Future Still is his first release for FPE
Records and is the soundtrack to a world
slowly re-emerging from lockdown, it’s
naturally full of openness - even hope?
Higgins declares his music is as full of
feeling and soul as anything else around.
Listen and feel it for yourself.
Like vaporwave of teens past, the sounds
describe a future imagined by computer
sounds of old.
It’s a joyous exploration: listening to
Future Still feels like gliding smoothly
through a bitstream, exploring digital
vistas of liquid data-scape.

As one third of the Lisiere Collectif, Andu Simion learned early and often how to take a dancefloor on a hypnotic, grooving journey throughout the night. Now he's standing solo on the next release on Eric Cloutier's Palinoia label, delivering four bubbling, seductive house grooves for any hour of the party. From the evolving "Heavy Glow" to the proper house banger "Gen Y All," this EP is a sure win for anyone looking to get a little sideways.

The 10th release of "House Mannequin" is inclusive four tracks new house touch.
play early till late nite.

Brooklyn-based Malik Hendricks does a fine line in raw, deep but visceral house sounds that cannot fail to make an impact both physically and emotionally. He has done so on the likes of Bliss Point, Coloring Lessons and Darker Than Wax before now and here arrives on People Of Earth with more compelling cuts. 'Move On Up' is a steamy and sweaty house thumper with impassioned vocal swirls, 'All Mine' layers in some heavenly melodies that manage to uplift the mood in a subtle fashion and 'Feeling Like Larry' references the great Mr Heard, surely, with its balmy cosmic pads and spiritual house depths. 'The Way' (feat Tane) is licked with acoustic guitar riffs that bring to mind open-air dancing by the Med.

For their second installment, the Chateau Chepere crew brings on board legendary producer Stephan Laubner under his STL moniker, with four time warping pieces of music. With his distinctive and intricate sonic palette, Laubner extracts from his hardware different musical colors and shapes to produce singular atmospheres. Opening up the EP is Fly Fly, an epic 11 min minimal house trip full of tension and excitement, followed by Eargrind, an eerie, laid back Detroit leaning ballad. On the flip is Light Up, a spaced out, playful and bittersweet number that will revitalize any hazy after-hours dancefloor. Closing up the EP is Unlike Dislike, a quirky, jacking and mischievous techno workout for the packed club. This diverse ep will pull the listeners and dancers into Laubner's multifaceted, low key but captivating universe.

New York City House / Disco imprint. On A1: Well Being's remix of Detroit Jevantte's, Mr. Piano Man is a slamming baseline loop driven groove. Next up Ari Bald and Martín Miguel, of Better Listen records fame, bring a summer edit fit for a WBLS barbecue.
On the B side we have a special filtered out cut with a big low end from Tilman. Finally on B2, a track from Higgins with filtered strings on top of raw house drums.

Pressed on Yellow Vinyl. Features tracks from Manoo, Atjazz, Jackson Braithwaite & Dave Anthony. HEAVY afro vibes.

Sci-fi and 80's action-movie inspired electronic sounds from newly formed duo Zima Stulecia. Made up of Cancer G and Latarnik, both musicians are better known for their playing in contemporary jazz outfits EABS, Bloto and Jaubi, and it's that jazz background which lays the foundations for their debut album - 'Minus 30°C': a kaleidoscope of improvised synths and indiscriminate, percussive, drum patterns, taking you on a journey through house, techno, ambient electronica and soundtracks. Inspired by childhood 'VHS' memories of Terminator, Robocop, Predator, Rambo & Bloodsport.

Midnight EP brings another four heavyweight cuts from the London based Club of Jacks production duo showcasing their varied sound. 'Midnight' opens up with deep, haunting chords and a lush reworked vocal laid over a smoky 2 step beat. 'Let It Ride' brings the 4x4 house vibe, mixing infectious synths, catchy lyrics and a rolling bass groove. On the flip, 'Remember This' digs into the garage house sound, infusing jazzy organ chords and solos with skippy drums and tasty vocal chops. To finish off, 'Smokers Dub'' takes us into a darker, speed garage inspired vibe, with weighty bass and dub reggae flavour.

Animal crossing edits 001.

Marc Brauner makes his return to the label, this time collaborating with fellow Berliner, Ulrich Harrison - better known by moniker Tender Games - on five summertime sweeteners.

These two producers are no stranger to working together, co-running their own imprint, Nostalgics Records in their home town of Berlin. This collaboration then came together naturally, and represents the ideal blend of Marc Brauner's syncopated rhythmic tendencies, and Tender Games' musical antecedents in soul music and penchant for instrumentation.

'Concrete Jungle' epitomises this fusion: a two-step rhythm carries a deep bassline which cruises beneath a blissed-out trumpet melody. 'You Keep Me Up' and 'Listen' are skippy old school bangers, the former complete with anthemic piano stabs a la Manix and Inner City and the latter peppered with blithe whispers of a saxophone. 'It Makes Me' follows suit, substituting hi-hats for a focus on funk-inflected low ends before the UKG-leaning 'Violation' draws things to a close with MC vocal chops and bass womp ruffage.

Concrete Jungle EP drops 17th June 2022 via Shall Not Fade

New York City House / Disco from NY/Philly based producers. Jacques Renault of Let's Play House offers a string-heavy bassline slapped floor filler. Matpat of Philly with release on Exploited and 124 Recordings brings a raw kick, heavy pounding loop driven classic house track. Evan Michael offers a belter of a raw filter track for the rooftop set. Higgins closes the record with an uptempo stomper.

This 3-track sampler 12” is being released to tie in with the Network Remixes 2 x 12 Double Album. The Fathers Of Sound and Urban Sound Gallery remixes are included on the album, whilst Ashley Beedle’s rework is exclusive to this 12”. All 3 tracks are classics from the Network catalogue.

The Fathers Of Sound remix sees the Italian progressive house dons reinventing the Surreal gem written and sung by Ann Saunderson. It is massively in-demand.

Ann is co-writer of Day By Day. Andrew Pearce was an inexperienced but incredibly talented 18 years old gospel singer who was plucked from the streets of Wolverhampton and taken to Detroit where he was given The Reese Project template by Ann and Kevin Saunderson. Chez Damier and Ron Trent were then drafted in and conjured up a magical Urban Sound Gallery remix. It is truly a masterpiece.

Inner City’s revival of Donny Hathaway & Roberta Flack’s Soul anthem “Back Together Again” started its life as a fairly faithful slant on the original. That was the plan until Ashley Beedle got his hands on the tapes and created a homage to Walter Gibbons, Larry Levan. The Loft and all things vintage New York true disco.
