House Vinyl New Releases - News

Abukurt is the new alias of Niklas Kleber who is a german composer and music producer being involved in numerous projects from pop to electronic music. We know him as a friend for a long time and we are very pleased to welcome him to our DUAT family. The two tracks were produced in our Berlin studio by some influence of Amin Fallaha and Ruede Hagelstein.

Mysticisms delves into the spiritual realm with the archival recordings of London based Japanese duo, Afrobuddha to present their highly sought music to date, in Obame and Zone, on one EP.
With copies of their debut releases now selling for dizzying prices, a chance to work with label friend Kay Suzuki attained. With his respected Time Capsule label releasing a stream of amazing world music inspired reissues, his project with Koichi Sakai is revisited and reborn.
Released as a celebration of the spiritual affinity felt with the African and Afro-Caribbean music community, enter Obame; a collaboration with the Kakatsitsi Drummers - pioneering percussionists of the Ga tribe of Southern Ghana. Combining traditional drumming with flutes, xylophone and folkloric chants, Suzuki and Sakai's art and philosophy of rhythm via house, disco, afrobeat and reggae, underpins this offering to stunning effect.
Zone follows. A spiritual essence of London's vibrant multi-cultural society, the track fuses intoxicating raw percussion. Featuring Ghanaian master drummer Afla Sackey's thundering congas and djembe on a 3/4 signature of polyrhythm beats, repetitive chants and deep analog synths, this is a stripped backed journey into drum dub of space-bending delays and reverb effects.
Chant the Mystery.

San Fran’s finest, Computer Data has grown a cult following over the years, off the back of a wave of high quality dance discs on Lost Palms. His latest outing ‘Ego’ EP showcases some of his finest work to date, seamlessly blending dreamy synth patterns with dusty drum sequences and gritty vocal hooks.

Out briefly on Berceuse, 'Zibaldone III of CVX' is the third in a series of releases from London-via-Mallorca based artist Rupert Clervaux, after two instalments issued via London's Laura Lies In - both available in the form of custom-made dubplates. Inspired by the unique format and flow of 'zibaldone' - the Italian equivalent to commonplace books made famous by Giacomo Leopardi's eponymous masterpiece, Clervaux's multi-angle audio mosaics merge fragments from various fields such as literature, philosophy, poetry, psychology, history, politics and more.

"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..."

Aka Jan Katsma of Bunker associates Syncom Data, stepping out with his first full solo release in three years. Six feverish, dubwise synth excursions, rumbling with restrained power; with passages as body-rocking as recent Katsma/SD contributions to mixtapes by Dettmann and Stingray, but always verging on acid disintegration.

It's been a while since Zukunft Recordings' last release but now their back on track with more quality music. Pacifica's 'Heaven Machine' is a beautifully diverse four-tracker lead by the ecstatic and vocal heavy title track.

Persian, the man who launched the label in 2017 returns, again offering classics from the archive tapes in the Garage bounce of Feel Da Vibe and the Jungle tinged Silver Spaceships.

Since appearing on Acetate 10" back in (where were you in) '92, Persian, Persian Prince or Artist Formerly Known As PP, aka Peter Riley, has been following his own path, breaking ground with self released, slabs of dynamite wax.

Delivering a myriad of styles, from Breaks to House, Digidub to Jungle, here, as with MYS001, the original masters were handed to contemporaries to work their magic. Brother Nebula aka Lance DeSardi has been around long enough to know the score, switching from Dallas to San Francisco and releasing music on the likes of Fair Park and Siesta, before relocating to London and with his new Legwork label, creating a fresh wave.

The respectful but wonderful spacial dub house remake of the anthem Feel Da Vibe builds perfectly before snaps bring it back down to Earth. Alphonse (Especial / Klasse Wrecks) however, heads for the heavens with an expanse of floating percussion that explores the line between Breaks and Jungle to move Silver Spaceships in to a new decade.

Vibe the Mystery.

Due to unforseen circumstances release is cancelled for now and will be hopefully remade in a different version...



Recently voted” as “The best British number one from British soil” by the readers of UK newspaper “The Guardian, “West End Girls” by British duo Pet Shop Boys is an all-time synth-pop classic that comes in a 2×12” package with two mixes from legendary Dutch producer remixer Ben Liebrand, a 2020 version from UK house hero Michael Gray, and a new mix by Italian wizard Moplen. The 2 Liebrand mixes offer an acoustic variation on the 80’s synth theme, expanding on the luscious string section, providing a canvas for extensive trumpet solos. The result is the ‘Ben Liebrand “9 Course Suite”. Also provided is the ‘Ben Liebrand Nu-Disco Remix’ with a more laidback feeling featuring a funky acoustic bass line. Michael Gray adds his classy percussive beats with a more sustained feel letting the melodies take over, yet retaining the PSB charm, whilst multi track guru Moplen stays true to the original Bobby Orlando PSB production. Mastering was done at the famous Abbey Road Studio’s in London.

British producer Portrait (AKA South London Ordnance) & Somne collaborate on new imprint - Aura Dinamica. The inaugural release arrives courtesy of the duo themselves with Speed, Noise, Machinery & The City. Born out of a series of particularly productive, fast-paced collaborative sessions in Berlin, the three track EP draws on the spirit of classic Plastikman & Basic Channel, eschewing greyscale linearity in favour of high-energy emotive leads, rich texture & groove -with moments of heads-down introspection enjoying as much space as outright dance floor fervour.

2022 may bring much much uncertainty to the world but one thing we know for a fact is that we are introducing our most innovative and intriguing new act in years – the French duo Archil & Leon with their five track debut (appropriately called) “Blooming”.

Having both released in the past independently, Archil & Leon were originally brought together thanks to their teenage band His Majesty and from there, their passion to create music together never has faltered. Leon is a veteran session and live drummer who also produces music for his own dance project Ongaeshi and the dance collective moovance. Archil is an accomplished solo electronic musician and the force behind Archil Lab handmade musical devices. Using elements like springs (Springophone) and wheels (Roulettophone), his instruments are lovingly manufactured in wood and somehow carry the characteristics of modular gear but in the most unconventional way possible.

At a first listen, Archil & Leon’s music comes off as a well oiled live jam but as you dig deeper, it’s clear these tracks have a precision and style that separates them into a category of their own. Their EP “Blooming” is the result of two full years of being locked in their studio, writing and experimenting together. Indeed, an underlying flow of 70’s funk permeates throughout their music, however pigeonholing them into such a stereotype would be a travesty as they have impeccable song writing skills and their self made instruments conjure an experimentalism which is through and through rooted in electronic music. We can only hope that fans of now-classic Jamie Lidell / Super_Collider will appreciate where they are coming from, and you agree their “sound” is brilliantly individual. After all, they created their tracks literally from the ground up.

Watch more about Archil & Leon and their wonderfully outlandish instruments.Das Jahr 2022 mag viel Ungewissheit in die Welt bringen, aber eine Sache, die wir mit Sicherheit wissen, ist, dass wir euch mit dem französischen Duo Archil & Leon unseren innovativsten und faszinierendsten neuen Act seit Jahren vorstellen werden. Passenderweise trägt ihre ihre Debüt 5-Track EP den Titel "Blooming".

Archil & Leon haben beide in der Vergangenheit unabhängig voneinander Musik veröffentlicht haben und kamen ursprünglich durch die Teenager-Band His Majesty zusammen. Von da an hat ihre Leidenschaft, gemeinsam Musik zu machen, nie nachgelassen. Leon ist ein erfahrener Session-Musiker und Live-Schlagzeuger, der auch Musik für sein eigenes Tanzprojekt Ongaeshi Studio und das Tanzkollektiv moovance produziert. Archil ist ein versierter Solo-Elektro-Musiker und die treibende Kraft hinter den handgefertigten Musikinstrumenten des Archil Labs. Seine unter Verwendung von Elementen wie Federn (Springophone) und Rädern (Roulettophone) hergestellten Instrumente sind liebevoll aus Holz gefertigt und erinnern irgendwie an modulare Geräte, aber auf sehr unkonventionelle Art und Weise.

Auf den ersten Blick wirkt die Musik von Archil & Leon wie ein gut geölter Live-Jam, aber wenn man tiefer gräbt, wird klar, dass diese Tracks eine Präzision und einen Stil haben, die sie in eine eigene Kategorie einordnen. Ihre EP "Blooming" ist das Ergebnis von zwei Jahren, in denen sie sich im Studio eingeschlossen haben, um gemeinsam zu schreiben und zu experimentieren. Ein unterschwelliger Flow von 70er-Jahre-Funk durchdringt ihre Musik, aber sie in eine solche Schublade zu stecken, ginge gehörig am Thema vorbei, denn die beiden haben tadellose Fähigkeiten was das Songwriting angeht und ihre selbstgebauten Instrumente zaubern einen Experimentierfreude hervor, der durch und durch in der elektronischen Musik verwurzelt ist.

Wir sind uns sicher, dass Fans von dem jetzt schon klassischen Jamie Lidell / Super_Collider Material ahnen, woher der Wind hier weht und von welch individueller Brillanz Archil & Leon's Sound ist. Immerhin haben die Jungs ihre Musik wirklich von Grund auf neu kreiert. Schaut Euch ihre wundervollen, außerweltlichen Instrumente auf ihrer Website oder YouTube an

Ruff Stuff joins the Shall Not Fade family serving up six luscious jams for their new coloured vinyl series.

Italian producer Ruff Stuff conjures up a six tracker packed full of fun and good energy. Ruff Stuff joins forces with Shall Not Fade regular Black Loops for two tracks on the project, creating future dance floor memories.

Jersey’s club queen UNIIQU3’s Heartbeats EP finally comes to vinyl, following a slew of Best of 2021 accolades (including The Quietus’s #1 Track of 2021, Crack’s #3 Track of 2021, and Best of 2021 lists from Resident Advisor, Mixmag, Billboard, Pitchfork, NPR and more. Released on Local Action (home of India Jordan, DJ Q, Finn and more), Heartbeats represents both a new creative phase for UNIIQU3, and her most ambitious and personal project yet — dealing with themes of “self-love, heartbreak, intimacy and lust” across six narrative-driven tracks that showcase her production, singing and rapping at its most accomplished. That’s never more evident than on lead single ‘Microdosing’, a modern classic that squares the circle between New Jersey’s house history and its legacy of modern club music — racking up millions of streams and six weeks on the BBC radio playlists in the process. Although it's not the longest release of UNIIQU3’s career, in terms of its scope, detail, depth and honesty it feels like a true landmark moment for one of contemporary dance music’s most exciting talents.

While perfectly fitting the deep house cabinet, this EP taps on various styles within this genre. Jayson Wynters, well known for his releases on Mr G's Phoenix G Label and Don't Be Afraid, sets the pace with Sherella's Kiss; a powerful groove and beautiful chord pads embedded in an upbuilding percussive atmosphere. This is a very personal track from Jayson and this dedication to 'Sherella' is testimony to the immortality that can be found in the power of a soulmate. Italian artist Duccio, who previously released on the label Greta Cottage Workshop delivers a melodic track with mediative vocals while Ukraine's Kiddmisha gets his well deserved second appearance on Batti Batti with an immersive electro cut . Hailing from Chicago, the artist Weakmassive makes his debut to the label with a smooth acidic track which could be a perfect opening or an encore to a long night out !

Malik Alston and Javonntte Garrett have been at the beating heart of the Detroit scene for decades now, with releases on Kai Alcé's NDATL, Patrice Scott's Sistrum, and Jerome Derradji's Still Music just to name a few. It's no surprise that Bristolian-cum-honorary-Detroiter Andy Compton and the two aforementioned would link up on Detroit's northwest side for a master-class in 21st century soulful house music. This EP, the product of July's 2017 collaboration, features 4 mixes— a percussive heavy 'Linwood Mix' from Malik Alston featuring his sensual vocals and a talkbox solo from Javonntte. 'Malik & Javonntte's Side By Side Dub' feature the two stripping it back to the bouncing bassline and syncopated percussion. For the flip we travel to Bristol, where Andy Compton's mix takes on a bit more of a neo-soul vibe that accentuates his guitar playing and Malik's vocal and Rhodes performance. The EP closes with 'Andy Compton's Dub', which puts Javonntte's harmonica prowess at the forefront.

This is the one you’ve been waiting for. First broken by Claude VonStroke & Justin Martin in their B2B set at Miami this year, “Ya Kidding” by FISHER was the biggest track of the conference. The vocal says it all - “Movin' On The Dancefloor”.

A former pro surfer from Sydney, Australia, FISHER’s debut release is already generating big waves with early support from Pete Tong, Green Velvet, Eats Everything, Skream, Latmun, and more.

We also enlisted two mighty remixes from artists who have sculpted their own unique sounds-the red hot UK duo Solardo and the mysterious up and coming, Sébastien V.

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".

"The Spanish label MATE back once again with more House and Deep House music. In this time we announce the return of Rafa Santos to the label..Madrid-based artist presents We Still Dance Ep, 4 tracks that will not leave you indifferent
High Voltage has a strong Baseline and soft vocals that carried you through the air,AMy life is a baseline into the hipnoticAAwith it's deep bassline and cool chord. Back To The Dancefloor is a track focused to dance.

Louie Vega goes back to his freestyle music roots and collaborates with one of the top artists in the game George LaMond. Born in Georgetown, Washington D.C. LaMond has released over seven albums and has had many top club and radio hits throughout his career. He’s had a number one salsa smash with “Que Te Vas” which spawned an RIAA-certified gold album. It was in no time that Vega reached out to LaMond with an idea of going back to his freestyle roots and recording 5 artists from that genre of music.

“George LaMond first up”, Vega says, “we wanted to redo a jam that was also played in the freestyle club world and is a vintage classic, the Spanish band Barrabas hit “Woman” was the perfect one to remake. Long Island dj/producer Frankie C was also working on a “Woman” remake and brought it to me for Vega Records. I thought George LaMond had the perfect voice for it, and when it came time for the session he knew exactly how to execute the song, I then brought in my Elements Of Life band on the rhythm section we were able to create a four floor percussive groove and a salsa version as well. The signature Barrabas electric guitar riffs courtesy of Mike Ciro, Gene Perez on bass, Axel Tosca on keyboards, and Luisito Quintero on percussion was a perfect fit!”.

The release offers sizzling remixes by house music pioneer David Morales, taking the track straight to peak time on the dance floor with a main and dub version. Frankie C Long Island Native, produces full on House and Brazilian versions, he knew exactly what needed to be done. There are over 8 versions to choose from and the vinyl package will be stunning. Available at all digital & streaming outlets, and soon on vinyl at a store near you!

OMAR S, THE BEST

Heavenly Recordings announce the release of ‘Heavenly remixes 3&4 - Andrew Weatherall volume 1&2’, a brace of compilation albums collecting together some of the finest remixes from the label’s long-time friend, collaborator and go-to remixer. These compilations follow ‘Heavenly remixes 1 & 2’, which showcases some of the label’s other great remixes.

 By the time Heavenly was born in the spring of 1990, Andrew Weatherall was already an inspirational sounding board, as well as a fellow traveller on the bright new road that stretched out ahead, thanks to the massive cultural liberation of acid house. Back then every energised meeting could be turned into a fortuitous opportunity in this burgeoning new underground economy. Bored of your job? Start playing records out! Start a club night! Get in the studio!
Start a label! Just don’t stand still. Commandments Andrew would follow for the rest of his life.

 At the start of things, Andrew was a regular visitor to Capersville - the pre-Heavenly press office run by label founder Jeff Barrett (soon to become Andrew’s manager). It was there that he famously picked up a copy of Primal Scream’s unloved second album and singled out a
track that would later become ‘Loaded’, after being given an instruction to “fucking destroy” it by the band’s Andrew Innes; it was there too that the idea to remix the first Heavenly release
came about.

 Andrew’s mix of that first Heavenly record is very much a product of its time. ‘The World According To Sly and Lovechild’ is a swirling bass punch topped with a hypnotic marimba line and the kind of ecstatic diva vocal that you’d hear coming out of the speakers all night at postShoom clubs like Yellow Book.

 His take on the label’s next release - Saint Etienne’s ‘Only Love Can Break Your Heart (A Mix of Two Halves’) - would set the template for his next three decades of audio exploration. A drawn-out imperial dub, the track builds and builds with a moody intensity (partly down to the
melodica played by Weather Prophets legend Pete Astor) that’s far more Kingston JA at dusk than Kingston-upon-Thames at kicking out time. It’s both a dancefloor record to get lost in and
headphone psychedelia of the highest order - a perfect example of what he did better than anyone else.

 Between 1990 and his untimely death in 2020, Andrew fed more Heavenly bands through the mixing desk than those of any other label. Consistently, he returned visionary music to the
office, often in person for (at least) one ceremonial playback - a ritual that would involve the volume cranked up high and Andrew rocking back on his heels, eyes closed, lost in the alchemy of it all.

 Each time, he would warp and twist originals into beautiful new shapes - elasticated club records that might evoke Detroit techno one second and Throbbing Gristle the next, before wheel-spinning into something akin to The Fall produced by King Tubby.

 Andrew’s studio adventures would always be guided by that early advice to destroy the source material. It’s why he was the first name that came up when remixes were discussed; the first number on the speed dial. Listening back to these remixes now - to thirty years of glorious outsider sounds - it bangs home again just how fucking good Andrew was.

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.

MASSIMO NAPOLI is a DJ from Catania with a passion for jazz and black music. He began his musical career in the early 90s playing funk, hip hop, and acid jazz in clubs, contributing to the spreading of the most eclectic and refined sounds in Sicily.

Departing from club culture with particular emphasis on electronic dub, Galathea unfolds into many influences and styles, making it a unique listening experience. Mediterranean culture, afro and cinematic melodies, jazz, spiritual echoes, and soothing beats lead the listener into a subliminal escape, where the fluidity and the convergence of genres freely progress intoa dream-like journey.

LIMITED EDITION YELLOW VINYL REPRESS X 300

Sublime deep House of the highest order from New Jersey’s very own Kerri “Kaoz 6:23” Chandler.

"The Mood EP" is pure quality from start to finish and is one of Chandler’s lesser spotted releases that is undoubtedly a classic.

Released on the legendary Nervous label in 1998 it still stands head and shoulders above most other releases of the time.

Following the late night swing of Javonntte's HM002, Hardmatter uncovers another Detroit talent for their third offering: Malik Alston. In his first vinyl release in several years, the Rebirth EP explores a spiritual jazz soundscape with all of the verve of the city's trusted sound. Beside the soulful ballad of Love Changes featuring Evan on guitar, the record's lead song, I Am, focuses on Malik's signature instrumentation and live improvisation. The track is a seven minute collaboration between Craig Huckaby, Howard Wazeerud-Din II and Hardmatterís own Zapata, who complement Malik's gospel-inspired vocals, the first time he has sung on a track in four years.

OB is back with two on-point Detroit nailers!

Japanese artist Takashi Himioka gives 4 tracks for the floor. Cabaret Recordings 27th release.

Using mostly sounds recorded at Altacura (the high stone of concepcion in Chile) itself, the EP transforms the energies of its spirits into an EP of psychedelic downbeat tableaus featuring rich sound design, driving percussions, conjuring vocals, and gritty basses :

'Allkun', which means "hear" in Mapudungun language, is a tribute to the voices of the birds that inhabit this area.

In 'Tierra Santa' guest vocalist Natalia Clavier joins the trio for a psychedelic dance around the rock.

On the flipside, Argentinian producer Uji increases the tempo of 'Allkun', and turns the original into a dry and percussive club version.

'Cirros' is the perfect tune for a beach club sunset, taking us up to the most recondite skies where we dance the day away with the Altacura spirits.

Mark Archer

A1 is a deadly downtempo number with distant clinks providing the melody underpinning, accompanied by some beautifully dreamy pads and wobbly 303 line, absolute eyes closed head nodded. A2 continues on the downtempo vibe but with a more electro style, slowly rising drippy acid and spacey vocal effects, despite the tempo it’s proper screw-face material.

B1 is another laid back groove with ethereal pads and sparse, crisp drums. Another track on this twelve that you can completely lose yourself in. B2 rounds up the release in a completely no nonsense, head down hi-res(sonance) 303 and 909 box-clash.

Damo B

Take a second glance into the mirror for another reflection of yesterday.

Dircsen hits you with 'Mono Operator' with its subtle acid switch ups and haunting melodies coupled with the bounciest of beats and thunderous claps ensues 303 nirvana. Heartfelt.
Scott Hallam offers up the stretchy acid meets dub reggae meets hip hop influenced 'Saturday night drop' Low slung, wigged out Sabresque acidic goodness.

'Slow float' With its groove building capabilities and intricate beat work married with an acid line that unfurls and caresses the mind, body and soul. Winner winner, acid for dinner. Biblical!
Next up totally going for the jugular in a +8 Hawtin kinda style is 'Distorted Reality' 3 am dance floor/club night decimation from this brutally lovely 303 jam. Banger!

Placid

Four tracks of 303 laced Machine funk. Made with soul. Absolutely essential. That aside. That’s really nice Scott. All 4 should keep the acid enthusiasts happy.

Derek Carr

Dircsen - Mono Operator and your Distorted Reality tracks are the pick here - Mono Operator has that deep underlying dirty funk but the Detroit soul, a beautiful combination.
Distorted Reality is like getting hit by a steamroller driven by an acid smiley face.
Wonderful EP.

Al Bradley

That EP is ridiculous haha! Outstanding!
"After being hugely honoured to offer up some acid-house-infused cuts for ROY 001, label boss Scott Hallam brings in the ace Dircsen for four more acid workouts & fuck me, do the two artists deliver! Taking what was introduced on 001 & upping the squelch ante, the flow of acid on these tracks is phenomenal. Ranging from slo-mo deepness, to full-on headfuckery twistedness, this is, to put it mildly, an absolute killer of a release."

Born in 1993 , Leonardo Passanti aka HollySpleef is a skater, producer, sound designer and part-time gardener who hails from Bagnocavallo.

Thanks to his training carried out both in Italy and abroad - with extended stays in London, New York and Los Angeles - he had the opportunity to explore new soundscapes and collaborate with artists from the most diverse backgrounds.

This album is an eclectic and organic journey into a garden of grooves where seeds of improvisational jazz blur and blossom with ambient hip hop, house and dub sounds.
