House Vinyl New Releases - News

Hailing from Bristol, Scissorwork presents three sharp cuts straight from the blades, including a classy remix by label boss Frits Wentink himself. The Bristolian's unique style fits Bobby Donny like a glove, combining a knack for off centre grooves with dusty soul chords and grungy tambourines.

Guy Gerber’s Rumors welcomes Italy’s Agents Of Time for an EP of delicately crafted dancefloor electronics in ‘Prince Of The Stars EP’ this March.

‘Mud Battles’ opens with muted and subdued tones, gently unravelling into a symphonic arrangement of analogue synthesis and 4/4 kick drums. ‘Rise To The Power’ picks up the pace with shuffling percussion and a series of melodic motifs before moving into an enticing extended breakdown.

On the flip, ‘Prince Of The Stars’ opens with fielding recordings alongside a skippy, broken beat, carrying the track through a sequence of emotive passages, a theme that continues with the final track on the 12”, ‘The King Of Our Days’

Agents Of Time have been impressing audiences since 2013 via the likes of Maceo Plex’s Ellum Audio and Kompakt, alongside their own Obscura imprint. Turning their sights to Guy Gerber’s enchanting Rumors label, the outfit draw on years of experience to deliver an EP drenched in dreamy downtempo atmospherics.

All sliced and diced to perfection by Ashley & Abi.
Enjoy :)

Homemade sound waves: this is what the first release of the new label Son d'Étroit sounds like. The label founder, Boran Ece made the premiere a matter close to his heart and shows his performance side with this track. A skillfully created chaos has arisen that presents and unites precisely chosen elements. It's food for the dancers in the underground. Rough, pure, minimal with an organic touch but still harmonious. This is neverending house music in its own way.

Hannes Bieger, berlin-based engineer of deep melodic notes honors the first release SDE001 with an "analogue origin" remix.

With four highly focused and crisp new tracks, Bas Dobbelaer and Vand return to SoHaSo once again. Their Laren EP from last year got high praise from dj’s and lovers of deep, percussive dance music and ZL2 seems to wander down that same and interesting path. Though some things have changed. On their new EP the vibe seems more melancholic, more introvert. Might the pandemic and the locked down nightlife have something to do with it? Or is it perhaps due to Dobbelaer’s new favourite instrument, the Waldorf Blofeld? This small synthesizer combines the technology of today with the analogue vibe of the last century and is a therefore perfect metaphor for the delicate ‘vintage feel productions’ of Vand and Dobbelaer. In any case, ZL2 is manna for headphone junkies. The condensed kicks on tracks like Nomansland and Runner make way for some excited listening, with beautiful details everywhere in the sound spectrum. Listen how the hi-hats unfold slowly on the blissful off-beat belter Story of Blade. Where a melancholic strings ties it all together. Once again, youth friends Dobbelaer and Vand made something special together. Let’s hope the clubs reopen soon, because you really want to hear ZL2 on a proper sound system.

Still riding high on the support for his recent Circus collab with Ki Creighton, new UK talent Kydus immediately returns to the label with a brace of new tracks that have already become proven weapons in the sets of label Yousef and the mighty Carl Cox.

His latest double-header sees him turn out more fierce grooves and raw funk with a large helping of sun-fuelled piano for good measure. Free Spirit is captivating from the first drum to the last.
A rolling groove, almost house, almost techno... A poignant story told that surrounds the listener with uncompromising positive energy, a huge summer moment if there ever was one. Yousef has been nurturing the demo for almost six months, building it from a secret weapon to Circus anthem.
Cala el Verano see's Kydus share the load as he continues the house techno hybrid, yet with a lighter touch from the musicianship of Naples born Dj Dep.
While the signature chunky groove of the UK producer remain the focus, it's the additional top line that energises the collaboration with a touch of hedonistic freedom. A real gem.

Felipe Gordon & Will Buck join forces for their second
collaborative ep, this time on Will's Off Track imprint.
Showcasing a fusion of their styles, the ep is packed full of
jazz licks, dusty samples, acid riffs, luscious chords and
slapping live bass grooves

From the moment of its release, Iñigo Vontier’s El Hijo del Maiz has become one of the most gripping albums of the moment. With South American and Middle Eastern sounds and his conception of music as ritual, the Mexican DJ keeps electronica in check as a valid mix of influences. The EP El Hijo Del Maiz (Remixes) marks the end of an episode which started, in good company, last autumn on the Lumière Noire label. The second track of his album, Bo Ni Ke, is distinguished by its original - almost implausible - universe, with a Japanese-inflected vocal filter and oriental flutes taking the beats into a crazy trance. Leaning on the 4/4 rhythm, Simple Symmetry’s remix of the track is also very playful (Iñigo Vontier recently remixed Nar for Simple Symmetry). The Moscow duo, noted in particular for the brilliant EP Plane Goes East released on Disco Halal (the Moscoman label which makes the link between east and west), pulls the track over to another - less terrestrial more psychedelic - universe, in their well identified ethno-underground style.

The remix of Bo Ni Ke by Nicola Cruz, French-born Ecuadorian producer, enlivens the track by playing on the sounds of voices and South American percussion. Also present in his fascinating album Siku released a year ago on the ZZK Records label, they overlap with the demonological whims of Iñigo Vontier but also those of Nicolas Jaar, who was revealed to him as he was starting out.

The inaugural track of the album Xu Xu (subject of the previous EP, only released as a digital version) has been remixed by Roman Flügel, allowing a vinyl release of this incredible track. You could pick out the science of this headliner in a million. Flügel has been on the electronic scene since the early days, learning the ropes under the aegis of prestigious labels Playhouse, Dial and Klang.
He has recently enhanced some emblematic tracks signed Daniel Avery, Koze, Âme, Radio Slave and C.A.R. and here once again the pioneer of techno is working miracles to create a more cerebral version of this track.

Concluding the EP with Thomass Jackson, his co-founder of the label Calypso Records, who we will soon be able to find on the compilation / family portrait of the label Lumière Noire From Above Vol. 2, Iñigo Vontier offers up a genre-busting version of the title Marijuana, like an ataxic play time, deliberately smoky for an explicitly licentious title.

From the vaults! 1992 KMS records pressure straight from Detroit, still capable of causing much damage on dance-floors in 2016! This 4 track monster pulls together a pretty heavy cast of Detroit Techno and deep House royalty in the shape of Chez Damier, MK and Derrick May all contributing various mixes and versions across the EP. If deep, driving, soul drenched House is your bag you will be in heaven with "Can you feel it", a truly classic slice of sophisticated dance music indeed. All of the mixes are killers, but it's the "MK Dub" mix, also known as the "New York Dub" that really steals the show, here MK and May combine to craft a classy, slamming, emotive string driven jam that pushes all the right buttons. As usual, essential retrospective action here from one of the most legendary dance labels out of Detroit. All tracks remastered and fully licensed with the sole permission of Mr. Kevin Saunderson. 100% legit and not ready to quit!

Debut release from Costas on his new label. 3 ultradeep heady originals complimented by a slick hypno-roller remix by man-of-the-moment Cosmjn, fresh from his ‘Soul Things’ LP.

After a year that will go down in the Glitterbox history books, five previously unreleased mixes that have soundtracked the label’s parties in 2019 are given a special vinyl outing, on part one of new series Glitterbox Jams.
- This red-hot 12” delivery opens with the sought-after Catz ‘n Dogz
remix of Fiorious’ ‘I’m Not Defeated’, where the Polish duo re-work
this powerful call-to-resistance anthem into a synth-laden club cut.
- Up next, Mighty Mouse delivers his gloriously funky remix of
Qwestlife’s ‘Hit It Off’, where the powerhouse vocals of Teni Tinks
really shine.
- On the flip disco maestro Mousse T. delivers his magnificent mash-
up of Selace’s ‘So Hooked On Your Lovin’’ and ‘Bad Habit’,
appropriately titled ‘Hooked On Bad Habits’.
- Finally, Joey Negro’s Falling Into Dub Again mix of Horse Meat Disco
& Kathy Sledge’s sublime summer-time hit ‘Falling Deep In Love’
comes through the speaker, a perfect tool for any disco-discerning
DJ.

... This is another delivery from the Glitterbox camp you won’t want to miss!

Threading their way across house, hip-hop and downtempo electronic landscapes since 2019, French imprint Cosmocities re-emerge with their fourth studio iteration “Say Goodbye” by Aussie-born / Berlin based vibist Inkswel featuring Phat Kat and Jitwam, supported by a choice pair of reworks courtesy of Adelaide's Beyond June and Amsterdam’s Jacob Otten, alias Kid Sublime.

Presented in both vocal and instrumental form, Inkswel’s hydroponic new single “Say Goodbye” blends the finest of sun-baked hip-hop and hazy R&B into a fine-grained slice of ethereal Cali-funk, as masterly provided by Phat Kat’s raw, choppy verses and Jitwam’s velvet-like timbre. Weaving a silky-smooth narrative out of retro string samples, intricate drum-programming and vaporous envelopes, Inkswel’s newest is poetry in motion, making the most of the self-balancing, therapeutical power of music.

Up on remix duty we find OZ talent Beyond June, laying down a playfully oneiric revamp, halfway cosmic abstraction and down-to-earth urban character. Transcending both spheres with non-conformist dash, the track reaches for uncharted galactic recesses. For his part, Kid Sublime takes on the cut with more of a fevered boogie approach, pulling out the infectious Rhodes stabs and athletic bass moves to keep every dancer on their toes as the drum beats a steadily sensual tempo.

Krystal Klear captures the essence of NYC's underground music culture with Danceteria / Keith Haring released 27th February on his own Cold Tonic imprint.
Krystal Klear has released on All City Records, Rinse, Eglo, MadTech, and Cold Tonic. He also curates a monthly show on Rinse FM while Djing the most exciting clubs around the globe.
From his roots in Dublin to attending the star-studded Red Bull Music Academy in Madrid, Krystal Klear's signature productions blend early-days NYC dance music with a forward- thinking sensibility.
'Danceteria / Keith Haring' is Cold Tonic's 6th release, and it pays homage to NYC's seminal Danceteria club and the inclusivity the space had come to be associated with. From disco to house - from the 70s and throughout the 80s - this is a part of NYC's rich cultural history that has captured Krystal Klear's fascination:
'No matter an individual's social status, sexual orientation, colour or creed, there was always explicit enjoyment and inclusivity within the musical surrounding'.
On the flip, inspiration is drawn from the artist and social activist Keith Haring whose signature style of evocative and fluid artwork spearheaded NYC's creative cultures.
'Danceteria' launches the EP with momentous drum programming, followed by a lively bass and swells of romantic chords - up until the euphoric 'Bronx mix' alternative provides playful samples and high-octane rhythms.
'Keith Haring' uses textured arrangements and funk-inspired melodies beneath snappy drums for a soulful R&B aesthetic. The 'Downtown dub' version closes the EP with nostalgic electronic piano and a gliding bass line, beneath popping synth stabs.
'Danceteria / Keith Haring' draws from NYC's rich dance music culture and is certain to be a success in the club just as much as it will be for fans beyond too.

Caruso kick off this latest EP from TLM with Souvenirs, a laid back summer groove skilfully mixed by Paul David Gillman (Red Earth Design). Following that Trans Of Life from Japan up the tempo with a nod to Gabor Szabo, percussion on the track is provided by the one and only Takashi Nakazato (Jazztronik/Kyoto Jazz Massive). The AA side starts with Jose Rico from Spain he brings in Anthonius on keys for a very deep journey. Lastly Melchior Sultana from Malta continues the deep Mediterranean vibe with a sun filled jazzy workout.

The ep begins with “ Resurrect my feeling “, a dub vocal house jam that is slowly bulding to reach an intense peak with a mix of new and old synths and a funky groove that will make you sweat and dance all night long . In the meantime, listening is also an option because Zepherin knows his music and the sounds and the arrangements are just amazing to dive into.
“Escape” and “Escape dub 88” are the same track with different arrangements and sounds , one being obviously more dubby and moodier, the other more musical and sunnier.

Born and raised in São Marcos, the north side of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais - Brazil, Naiche started his career with a deep music research in the 90's. Skateboard, RAP, his punk rock band and all the events productions he was part of built what means his music nowadays. "Lavanderia" was a great part of his musical path, the collective space dedicated to music and art is where he started his musical journey as a producer, working with for 4 years producing concerts, parties and exhibitions with artists all around the world.

Beyond the music production, exist the @visualparanoia and @holotropico, acting as illustrator and other visuals, working together with artists and brands with a huge expression in Brazil scene.

After launching his music inside labels from Argentina, Romania and Brazil, he’s now releasing "Back on Track”, his first LP record that counts with huge influence from Detroit Classic Techno, UK garage and House Music.

"Music sets you free from imposed bonds.
Makes you realize and to be more sensitive. ‘Back on Track’ was a record made on the move, each part of it was composed in a new place, in a new house, it is a record that represents the movement, freedom, detachment… ’’

Carl Weingarten and Multiphase Records return to Emotional Rescue with a collection of the music of Delay Tactics and their live, reel-to-reel and collaborative experimentation, that spawned two remarkable albums.

After meeting guitarist Reed Nesbit from the St. Louis new wave scene , Weingarten joined forces for a series of concerts, performing with guitars running through tape looping delay systems similar to Robert Fripp's 'Frippertronics' ideals.

Producer and engineer Walter Whitney joined to record the debut album, Out-Pop Options (1982), when it became clear his skills were a perfect addition. Recording to 4-track analog tape, the sound developed from drone based to proto-techno pop. Digital technology, drum machines, guitar pedals and digital effects offered creative freedom that resulted in rhythmic, kraut inspired pieces.

These Kosmiche leanings retain a unique US aesthetic and continued after Nesbit's departure. When guitarist David Udell joined for Any Questions? (1984), greater explorations - now recorded to 8 track - pushed the envelope to a wider sound.

In an age of endless holy grails, the work of Delay Tactics has a resonance, spanning Eno to Ashra but with a place and sense beyond Europe and towards to new age and fourth world leanings of Laraaji, Hassel and Karma.

The Detached Observation EP kicks off with Paradise Crane - a deep and dreamy production carried by soaring synths that echo throughout. Valentino Mora builds upon the soundscape left by Rai, remixing with fine affect as he introduces a simplistic yet highly effective tech groove to complement her work well.

The B side sees Rai offer up a balearic feel with rich horn lines dancing around a haze of muffled bass line and soft kicks. The EP comes to close with more delightful reverb soaked chords which are carried by liquid smooth hats from start to finish coming together in fine form for the title track.

This limited vinyl-only and single-sided 12" gem of a jam by Tetzlaff, an originally well-kept secret Rico Puestel project from 1995, had it coming for over 20 years now...

The mystical inscription "Angliziskuss" appeared on the original audio tape cassette as well as the magnetic tape that carried several drum machine and bass guitar recordings from the mid and late 1990s until the early 2000s - totally forgotten until they emerged in 2011 when everything slowly started coming together.

"Angliziskuss" is a combination of the German word for "Anglicism" (vocabulary borrowed from English from another language) and "kiss", like one language kisses the other one throughout some kind of symbiotic and overriding act.

That initial naming gave a deeper meaning to the whole development of the production and triggered the gathering of all creative amendments to the track over the years that led to one final and closing addition to it about seven years ago: The dynamic meeting of an infamous, emotionally charged English vocal snippet and its more rational counterpoint German translation, delivering a subtle tension overall and within.

All embedded into one charming housier journey of over 14 minutes, the „Angliziskuss“ establishes an unique recipe of balearic-like piano playings, a disco-and-funk-styled live bass guitar theme, both futuristic and nostalgic synth lines based on one unadulterated 1980s drum machine foundation.

Francesco Tristano really needs no introduction lately, his music speaks volumes and his reputation precedes him; with that said we are happy to share 'Place On Lafayette' with you once again, this time including some stunning remixes. The first one is a collaboration between two highly respected artists: Thomas Gandey and Radio Slave. The two take the track further into tech-house territory with the percussion driving while multiple layers begin the fall into one another, achieving a beautifully elegant and jazzy end result. Guti's vision is much deeper, with hints of dub here and there as the artists drives the tension up and creates a stunning groove. The final remix come from Tuff City Kids, who are known for their sometimes unconventional approach to making music, and in this case, it works. They channel a raw vibe and create something that is quite possibly the furthest thing from the original in terms of percussion. The pianos keep the thread strong, and the rhythm takes care of the rest.

On next Metropolita, Riccardo present a mix of different sound shadows, deep mood with soft and solid energetic groove... Do down in his travel!

JAM WITH US 002 - Djebali x Hyacin & G48 4 tracks, 2 Artists, 2 originals & 2 remixes.

For their 3rd release, Pulse Msc has traveled worldwide from Rennes to Vienna, Copenhagen, and Adelaide to create "Mind Trip", a detonating 4 tracks Lo-fi House EP with multiple influences.

The first track is signed by Subjoi, a young Australian artist well-known in the Lo-fi game. The man delivers "The Way I Feel", a subtle and emotional tune, embellished with devastating kicks which will leave nobody indifferent.

In the second position, there is an important contributor to the French Lo-fi scene, who has a lot of talent and is clearly to monitor: DJ Psychiatre! The guy has released of his imagination "Our Love Is Real", a wonderful piece conducive to escape with varied & nonlinear sonorities and powerful vocals.

Then Slim Hustla, a Danish duo with well-tempered personalities gives a big contribution to the project with "Ghostryda". The track is a sentimental and melancholic ballad, with beautiful vocals which brings the listeners in weightlessness and strays them into a dreamy universe.

To conclude, gutinstinct, an Austrian versatile artist, owner of Dream Raw Recordings ends the EP with "Blue Sea". The tune is a raw and dark dance-floor killer track, which plunges everybody into an abyssal atmosphere. Take a deep breath and enjoy the trip!

After much anticipation, UK-talent Ben Westbeech returns under his Breach moniker next February. Serving up the long-awaited Sun Salutations on André Hommen’s These Eyes imprint, the EP marks his first release under the alias since 2018, and features Dekmantel mainstay Cinnaman on the second track. The ethereal sound of Sun Salutations sets the feel of the release, as progressive synths reside atop a distinctive kick-hat backbone. We’re soon graced with an enchanting mid-track breakdown, paving the way for a tribal-leaning bassline and dreamy, flute-like chords. New Horizons feat. Cinnaman brings things to a gentle close, as warm keys converge on reverberating vocals to form a soothing, slow-building cut that’s perfect for sunrise, sunset or anywhere in between. Ben Westbeech AKA Breach is no stranger to the scene. Cutting his teeth on Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood Recordings, it was in 2013 that Claude Von Stroke picked up Breach’s Jack EP for a release on his iconic Dirtybird imprint, the likes of which charted at number nine in the Official UK Top 40 Chart. Since then, the UK-talent has refocused his attention on the underground, launching his Naked Naked label as well as producing standout productions for the likes of Crosstown Rebels, Ninja Tune, Aus music and many more besides. André Hommen's These Eyes has cemented its standing as one of Germany’s leading labels, with the likes of Tlak (Denis Horvat), Marc Romboy and Jonathan Kaspar finding a home on the imprint in recent times. Refusing to be pigeon-holed by genre or style, Breach’s debut highlights the eclectic sound through which the label has become best known, a testament to the vision of label-founder Andr é Hommen.

7 cuts of machine funk from the abyssal plain!

With his nothing short of outstanding Force EP on Compost Records, prodigious Laolu pushes his boundaries even further and provides us with a refreshing and yet poignant travel through his vision of afro inspired house music.
