House Vinyl New Releases - News

West London’s Slip ‘n’ Slide was one of the UK’s original house imprints. With early releases from Kings of Tomorrow, Deep Dish, Masters At Work and X-Press 2, the label set the benchmark for house music in the UK and gave a platform for artists who went on to be all-time greats.

One of these artists was Blaze, who don their Funky People alias on this special 12” release, with vocals by Cassio Ware, one of the most revered and respected vocalists during this era.

Known for their gospel and soul tinged sounds, this double 12” delivers a masterclass in remixing with brand new versions by Jovonn and Hugo LX alongside classic mixes from Masters At Work, Knee Deep and 20:20 Vision, each bringing their unique sound to this record box essential.

We're delighted to kick off our 10th anniversary celebrations with a release from an artist we've long admired, Dusseldorf's Harmonious Thelonious. His explorations into minimalism and polyrhythms have been staples in our sets since we were first connected via the Salon des Amateurs, and we couldn't be happier to welcome him into the Highlife fold with one of his brightest sounding records yet - documenting his musical adventures in Uganda.

In the early 90's Oscar G and Ralph Falcon AKA Murk unleashed a series of 12' singles that single-handedly put Miami on the House Music map. The Murk sound combined a deep, tribal drum-based rhythm track with strong house/R&B vocal performances, and it sounded like nothing that was out back then. While many other producers have tried to recreate the Murk Sound, nobody else has been able to match their distinctive sound sonic vibe. To this day these tracks still get played peak hour around the world.

'If You Really Love Someone' released under Murk acronym Liberty City is one of the best known of these releases. It's now been given a spectacular update by one of the world's most respected, influential and talented House Music aficionado's DJ T., who had combined the much loved old skool flavor of Murk's original production with the updated groove of Sterac. The B-side features a remix by emerging UK talent Jynx. Released on the original Murk Records vinyl imprint.

On this 5th release on P.O.D CROSS, production and Dj duo Politics Of Dancing (S.M.A.L.L & Paco) hook up in the studio with two key players of France & UK House music scenes. On the A Side, Paris electronic don Chris Carrier teams up with the boys to provide a proper acid trax. On the B side, it's Nottingham House legend Nail who joins in to spare his groove mastery. P.O.D CROSS delivers another state of the art, quality two tracker cut for dancefloors.

Sister label of HouseOnWax.

About We Play House Recordings

We Play House Recordings - WPH - is the work of Belgian DJ & producer Red D. Started 10 years ago to release the music of his friend san Soda, the label had (and has) the aim to release house music in all its shapes and forms. WPH's house ethics date back to the days where house was just a name for music that was played in clubs. There is no such thing as tech house, no such thing as deep house or minimal, there is simply (house) music, good or bad.

We Play House Recordings is lovingly led by Red D (real name Bart Van Neste), one of Belgium's leading underground music figures. Be it in his role as DJ, A&R, promoter, music panel host or general nitelife instigator, Red D does things with passion, humor and a healthy dose of keeping-both-feet-firmly-on-the-ground...with a twist...

WPH was started in 2007, so it takes no math genius to know that in 2017 the label is celebrating its 10 years anniversary. Running from the spring till winter 2017 this anniversary will be celebrated with special vinyl releases, a triple CD, a digital compilation, a Spotify playlist and a series of label nights all over Belgium and beyond. True to form the compilation will have WPH classics but also a BIG bunch of new material from core artists of the label like Locked Groove, San Soda, Kiani & His Legion, Fabrice Lig and many more.

14th Level Of Paradise records has enlisted the services of top talents to remix Crimean studio don Vincent Inc's tracks. U.S deep house veteran Vincent Floyd wrap drifting deep spheres, lilting electronics and warm synth rhodes chords around a chunky groove on his fine beat interpretation for a brighter and breezier deep house vibe on a remix that benefits greatly from a squeezable synth bassline and some undulating TB-303 style acid motifs, while Julian Sanza deliver a driving chunk of dub-disco/deep house fusion rich in sparkling synthesizer lines, sun-kissed chords and his own rubbery post-punk bass

Viola Klein is the house music 'auteur' behind two beautiful and contemplative house music records on her own Viola Klein imprint. Her Bring Your Ass parties in Cologne have long been some of the most interesting and informed celebrations of house music the city has to offer. On her first outing for meakusma, Klein collaborates with musicians from Senegal and Detroit to produce two tracks centered around Senegalese percussion, spun into gentle and informed club music hypnosis. Klein works as a film editor, DJ and writer. Her origins are in jazz theory which she combines with a filmmaker's perception. The two tracks on Exchange dwell in repetition and subtle confrontation. Typical of her work, they are explorations of the social force inherent in house music. While a Senegalese sabar master is passing his sabar knowledge to his sons, Family Diop responds with drums to Whodat's alternative house music of Detroit. An exchange between Senegal and the USA, nourished by the voices of Ndongo Samba Sylla, political writer from Dakar and Kim Sherobbi, member of James and Grace Lee Boggs movement Detroit. Tone incorporates all unsaid as orientation is embodied in sound. Bringing her body to Senegal and the USA, Viola Klein is arranging this release named Exchange. Whodat is a Detroiter. The beats of Whodat lay the musical foundation for the Family Diop's sabar. The Senegalese griot family keeps the everyday tradition of sabar alive through programs in Saint-Louis' high schools; it's fresh when everyone is responding to one another on street corners and on patios. Ndongo Samba Sylla is a Senegalese development economist and a francophone Scrabble world champion. In Dakar, he equips environments for the youth. Sylla has written about social movements in West Africa as well as the definition of democracy. Kim Sherobbi is an ex-basketball player and educator at James and Grace Lee Boggs school in Detroit, where she teaches children how to be serene when things change.

Angelina is an Ukrainian Producer/Songwriter/Vocalist and DJ who stylistically explores the lines between
Chicago House, Dub and Detroit Techno. She's based in Hanover/Germany, where you will find her involvement
in throwing parties, such as the ‚Block Party‘, a party series in her residential town. Her upcoming Odin EP
is marking the start for the continuous journey into her soundscape with a first selection of 3 club compatible
deep, dubby and housy productions.

Tomoki Tamura & Tuccillo presents Double. Vinyl only, 3 warm analogue killer house cuts.

Breakthrough British DJ and Producer Josh Hvaal touches down on the formidable Hot Creations label this February with two striking cuts ready to be unleashed on the world.

On The Sound a pumping kick and spirited hi-hats lead into a dizzying synth line, progressively more frenzied pulses of electronics are thrown in and collide to create dance floor pandemonium. Stan Smith features more lively percussion, classic rave stabs and bright samples to produce an anthemic melody that moves with bounce over a jacking bassline.

2020 looks set to be a big breakthrough year for 24-year-old Josh Hvaal as he makes his mark on the underground dance music scene. He has already amazed audiences with appearances at Stealth, XOYO, EGG, Lab11 and Lightbox.

His unique and extensive catalogue of high-octane club-ready music influenced by the likes of Paul Johnson, DJ Deeon and DJ Haus has already hit some of the most renowned clubs and festivals in the world, being played by Jamie Jones, Richy Ahmed, Latmun, Pawsa, Seb Zito and more.

After catching the eye of Jamie Jones with his original and unconventional productions, he was immediately signed for this debut release. With planned releases on Hottrax and his label Forum records still to come, expect to hear much more of Josh as the year unravels.

Having earned BBC Radio 6 play from Gilles Peterson for last year’s track ‘Vortex’ , Japanese duo
Ohnesty today announce their next release, ‘Movin’ On’ EP, out on 22nd May on Highball. The
project unites two influential talents from Fukuoka’s burgeoning underground scene: BRISA, the
adventurous and eclectic producer/DJ who spans everything from nu-jazz to acid house, and shigge,
founder of the Yesterday Once More label.

The EP makes an immediate statement of intent with the title track. Underpinned by a lurching,
mechanised groove, it swings unexpectedly into a stuttering, pitch-shifted vocal cut alongside insistent
hi-hats and the kind of soulful female vocal sample that’s a hallmark of deep house. The track demonstrates Ohnesty’s unique style. On one hand, they’re constantly pushing an audacious sense
of creativity into a progressive-focused track. Yet at the same time, they never lose sight of the
importance of making it sound both engrossing and energising.

Its second track ‘K&T’ focuses those traits in a completely different direction, blending elements acid
jazz, late ‘70s disco and French Touch into their own vision. And finally ‘Need You’ echoes yacht rock
and ‘80s movie scores with sweet synths and the booming gated reverb drum sounds.

The ‘Movin’ On’ EP is completed by a remix of ‘Need You’ by British producer Happa . One of the
youngest artists to have ever DJed at Berghain, Happa’s production talents have also been called on
by the likes of David Byrne, FKA Twigs and Trim.

Ohnesty released their debut EP ‘Time To Be Honest’ last September on Yesterday Once More. It
was followed by an accompanying remix package , which included intreprations from the likes of
Metome and Daijo Kaisei.

The ‘Movin’ On’ EP is the second release from the new London-based Highball Records. Aiming to
highlight essential, forward-thinking new music from Japan, the label debuted in March with
Foodman’s ‘Dokutsu’ EP.

New label Patterns debuts with a strong 4 tracker from Barbir (Les Points)

With his One EP still getting love from the likes of Spinna, Jamie 3:26, Joey Negro, Osunlade and many more, Jimpster strikes back with another release to lift spirits during these unprecedented times. Produced during the first few weeks of the worldwide lockdown, it was his intention to
spread a message of positivity and optimism which can be felt on title track Smile For A While. The overall mood of the track has a slightly ambiguous yet heartening tonality, with a filtered looping vocal sample taking centre stage whilst piano lines and analogue arpeggios layer up adding depth and texture. The subtle and seductive groove will draw you in and its warmth and soul will make sure you smile for a while.

Flipping over we have Echoes In My Head which takes a more percussive approach based around a rolling bassline and crunchy live hihats. Taking a slightly darker route, Echoes In My Head feels like Jimpster has successfully managed to get all his influences to meld together perfectly to form something cohesive and substantial. His love of 90’s ‘intelligent techno’, On-U sound, early US house, ambient, all going in the melting pot and forming a track which we’re sure will be something of a secret weapon for many DJ’s. Just the kind of track that can completely hypnotise a discerning dance-floor during the hazy hours.

Closing out the three track EP we have the Head In The Clouds Mix, which is an alternate version of Echoes In My Head which heads in a more soulful direction. Piano chords and a bending bassline grab your attention whilst a percussion-heavy groove and dubby elements create space and depth to draw you in and ensure you get lost in its heady confines.

"This is the first of many BERNADETTE TRAX vinyl only releases to come. Named after my mother who got me started in all this, Bernadette Trax is my personal label, a vehicle for my music and a labour of love, specifically my love for deep underground house music of all kinds. The culmination of 30 years of influences, clubbing and too many late nights, this EP features my wonderfully talented friend and vocalist Anna Krestense Gantelius Glahn. Hope you like it and play it."

The Danse Club label is fast becoming an essential deep house outlet thanks to a solid stream of originals and remixes from artists old and new alike including Cherie Lee, The Burrell Brothers and label bosses Brodanse.

Here, said bosses team up with vocalist Cari Golden and resurgent beatsmiths Groove Armada for a huge new track that has already been road tested in Ibiza and has drawn all the right reactions.
Groove Armada of course are right at the sharp end of the house world once again having sunken themselves back in the underground with many gigs in Ibiza this summer as well as releases on labels like Hypercolour. LA's singersongwriter and vocalist Cari Golden, meanwhile, has long been lending her voice to house cuts from the likes of DJ T and Fur Coat, and here lays down another anthemic line that helps this track stand head and shoulders above the competition.

'Sweat' (Club) is a big bouncy house track with neon synth stabs, raw and thumping kick drums and icy hi hats that all coalesce into a barnstorming peaktime track designed for maximum destruction.
It's simple but effective, economic but efficient in terms of design and keeps your attention locked for seven minutes of inescapable house tension. The deep version is less rigid and regimented, there is more swing in the drums and percussion and a golden glow of warmth radiates from within. The vocal here is also smoother and creamier, making its way into your heart as the waify chords add more layers of sonic richness.
This is one for sundown rather than handsup moments and perfectly encapsulates the forward facing house vibe the Danse Club label embodies.

Jack Pattern ist ein Trio aus Zürich, welches sich analogen Soundmaschinen und dem Produzieren intergalaktischer Töne und Grooves, sowie dem gelegentlichen Auflegen verschrieben hat. Sie betreiben außerdem ihr eigenes Label Lust Poderosa. Diese Jungs lieben den Moment oszillierender Wellen. Es geht nicht um Purismus, es geht darum, das auszuleben, was sie fühlen: Liebe, Beschleunigung, dann Euphorie. Deeper acidoid-rauer Cosmic Disco und House, sowie düster-trippiger Techno zeichnen diese 4-Track-EP und ihr Debüt auf Drumpoet aus.

"The Spanish label MATE back once again with another smart pairing of high class house heads. Now is the time of Javonntte in the A side, the prolific Detroit is already a regular on the label ,presents Quantom is really trip focus to the dancefloor and Mr.Dj has a really lovely vibes. In B Side makes his debut in the label The Blaxploited Orchestra, which is the aka of the Spanish artist Simon Garcia where he saw us her most funk side and presents Ready To Go, an awesone Disco track with hipnotic chords and also, ""Explicit"", is a killer sound of low bpm "

It's a match, mate, innit Stepping in the cypher with a brand-new EP, Last Nubian emerges with a signature sound that reveals the passion of the digger behind. While covering the whole range from hip-hop to house, the London-based producer manages to match the best of both worlds and delivers dusty grooves for the heads as well as catchy dance floor oriented stuff. Although the rhythms and beats often feel nostalgically familiar, Last Nubian always flirts with the fringes of a more experimental sound design while citing Flying Lotus, Mndsgn, Theo Parrish and other pioneers as his influences. Having Blaq Numbers affiliates 2XM and Paso add their two cents to the show as well, makes this artfully crafted tape a family affair.

Every odd number has an ‘E’ in it…

Gorje and Izhevski return to All Day I Dream. Finally!

Our Russian exotic step brothers have their own elegant and distinctive sound that carefully balances musical emotion with signature beats. Equally at home on the dance floor as well as your lounge floor in your Spotify playlist.

Nikolai has been a long time fan of Peter Broderick and was given the opportunity to work with him last year. He (and Dimitri) took Peter's vocals and created something quite beautiful, both in Ambient form as well as the 4:4 version. Ta da! Their new EP was well on it's way to completion.

Seeing as I'm never satisfied though I insisted they stayed up late for another week and the result was L'eternite. Harking back to one of their first releases (Calinerie) on the label this subtle melodic bomb will be heard as the sun sets or the sun rises across the universe this Summer.

If you're not already aware please check out the boys label too. Shanti Radio Moscow is a label we at All Day I Dream love.

Hoshina Anniversary is conquerer of the mind, creating the most beautiful sound, other than silence.
This is his first offering for the ESP Institute.

Side A’s 'Sagano' is fairly representative of the Hoshina sound — raw organic samples and instrumentation, of traditional Japanese origin, mercilessly bent and tweaked to suit the needs of his obsessively precise arrangement. Midway through the track, we’re bewildered by his demonic breakdown on the Rhodes, which daringly tags the bassline and strings into a synchronized trio of jazz-funk noodles, and he even throws in a key change before dropping us back into the main hook for the duration of the dance. It's a major flex, and indeed makes an impression.

On side B’s 'Haru Wa Akebono', Hoshina displays an alternate and equally significant side to his songwriting, merging optimistic twinkles and arpeggios with slightly detuned dry percussion for an overall uneasy vibe, not dissimilar to early video game aesthetics or circuit-bent toys. Across both sides, there lies an unhinged overtone, such that we feel one small step from spiraling deep into a demented quicksand, a freak-out where hallucinations get the better of us.

Initiating a breadth of releases planned with the ESP Institute, this single summarizes a few of Hoshina’s most compelling modes, and though there is a whole circus yet to unfold, we hold his cards close, no spoilers before the main act.

These two songs will have you drinking moon juice and dancing naked at the Mardi Gras.

Ivaylo’s music has always been rooted in house and its myriads of forms, from the deeper soulful sounds from the US of A to the more recent plinky plonky style from the romanians and the chileans. With a pinch of his bulgarian roots and a splash of Full Pupp (Prins Thomas co-produced, played instruments and helped mix down the record) this mystic brew comes highly recommended. “Ensom Kraft EP” will be released as a vinyl 12″ containing 5 tracks from the 8 track digital only album “Ensom Kraft". The full album will be included as a download code.

The bavarian dj and producer Anatol, who lives in Vienna since a couple of years, joins the forTunea crew this summer and presents his new 12 single called - Don't Go .
The original mix wastes no time in getting right down to business from the get go. Chunky kick drums are front and center alongside a monster bouncing bassline that will shudder the floors into submission.

On the B-side Precious K, one half of the Janefondas, teams up with Secret Crunch boss Roman Rauch for a remix. Unlike the original, their version is cool and laid back. A perfect tune for open airs and afterhours.

Spaghetti Club launches with four tracks from Pierre Codarin, T. Jacques, Jack Michael, and Phil
Evans.

Opening up the release, British producer Pierre Codarin’s ‘Millenial’ is a stuttering cut with a bouncy
bassline, metallic hats and crystalline synths that continually evolve throughout. Following a recent
appearance on Tessellate, T. Jacques is next with ‘Terry’s Jambon’ which drives forward with its
mesmerising rhythm built on 909 kicks and intricate percussion as lively 303 squelches join cascading
arps.

On the flip, Orbital London boss Jack Michael takes things into trippier territories with soaring pads,
syncopated drums and otherworldly atmospherics in ‘Zero’. Tying it all together, Pager Records
co-owner Phil Evans dons his Electro hat for an ominous and scintillating number entitled ‘Tilted’.

South London wordsmith Pinty releases ‘Midnight Moods’ mixtape via his new label Winged Feet.

Coming back on the night bus, the whole ambience of South London when there is no one around... that is the midnight mood”

Following off the back of his debut ‘City Limits’ EP last year, Pinty makes a welcome return with ‘Midnight Moods’. Described as a late night mixtape recorded over several sprawling nocturnal sessions, the release features guest productions from DJ JD Sports aka King Krule and Maxwell Owin. Culminating in 6 tracks and a ‘lullaby’, the woozy and loose takes were eventually mixed down and mistakenly bounced in mono as the sun came up in the misty room at 7am, then lovingly mixed in stereo during daylight hours some weeks later.

Leading with the DJ JD Sports produced ‘It’s Just Life’ in early March, Pinty rolls through with the 2-step tinged ‘E’s’ and ‘Moonlight Duty’, drawing from his late brother’s UKG influence which helped pave the way for him. Filled with deeply personal lyrics, Pinty isn’t your usual party MC as he spits over luscious lo-fi house melodies with closing tracks ‘Go To Bed Pt. 2’, ‘All Nightly’ and ‘Fresher’. The mixtape showcases his vast appeal, from smoky basement clubs to slinky jazz bars.

Pinty’s witty wordplay and effervescent club sound take influence from the introspective poetry of The Streets and the jazz tinged house tones of Peckham’s vibrant night scene. The lyricist released his debut EP on Rhythm Section International in 2019 to much acclaim, making waves with his distinctly individual live performances, appearances on Boiler Room and Just Jam, radio residencies on Reprezent and Balamii, and the front cover of the Peckham Peculiar.

‘Midnight Moods’ is out on the 24th April via new label Winged Feet from Pinty and Alexander Waldron, co-founder of Greco-Roman.

'It Takes Three' to make a thing go right.. to make a thing outta sight! So here we see the third vinyl release ready to spin, offering up a new Made-in-Italy four track package.

Anie Tera takes the lead on the release with 'Deus Sex Machina' with a dark techno concept, using an organic rhythm with straight drums and a pure analog feels stitched deep into the arrangement.

With 'Il Complotto' he throws in a retro electro mood with many sudden drums fills that float into this lovely melody. The driving arp are accompanied by organ refrains that come in and out.
Opening up the flip side is the Berlin-based Italian duo composed by Laurent Ci & Andrea Caioni, with 'Oper67', a peak time dancefloor track. Here the duo goes back to basics: automating,
shuffling and dancing.

'Eolie' then closes the Ep with a strong nature. The inflected paths which cross each other, the enthralling drums and the acid incursions lines make every moment always crucial.

It is with great pleasure that Public Possession and Cascine present to you the debut album of Bell Towers. Elev-en singles deep into his catalogue, his first LP is finally ready, an „Ode to escaping into (and out of) the emo-tional pits of dance floors – about finding a place in one night’s fantasy¹”. Musically it’s all we’ve ever wanted from a Bell Towers production: ear worm melodies, sharp baselines, wild cross-references in between genres and at last sees him explore his abilities as a singer/songwriter to full extent. Junior Mix is the sort of pop music that one is always looking for, but rarely finds - bright, charming and a little bit mad.

We sincerely hope you enjoy.
PP, Nov. 2019
