House Vinyl New Releases - News

Guy Gerber's enchanting Rumors label welcomes Israeli groove-maker Roy Rosenfeld to the fold with a pair of his famously magical house tracks.

Born in Jerusalem but musically educated in Tel Aviv, Rosenfeld has evolved into one of house music's most prominent names.
His evocative tracks are made for daydreaming, for getting lost in and dancing along to while filled with warm feelings. They have arrived on key labels like All Day I Dream and Kompakt, while the man himself lays down similarly engaging sets of thoughtful house and techno across Europe, Asia and North and South America.

He opens up his account here with the brilliantly loose grooves of
'No Drama feat. Nadav Dagon.' It's a hypnotic house affair with a mesmeric lead synth line that feels exotic and tropical while the bubbly drums and underlapping bass enrich the whole charming affair.

On the flip side, 'What Happened To Me' is more driving and direct. The punchy house drums are overlaid with spoken word samples that drift in and out while percolating synths ride up and down the scale to bring an off-balance sense of groove.

Words from the label:

Our imprint marks its five years anniversary this year and to celebrate it’s offering up five special various artist packages across 2019 limited to 250 copies each, featuring material from the likes of Vid, The Mole, Cinthie, Shinichiro Yokota, San Proper, Akiko Kiyama, Com Sin aka Cosmin TRG, Subb-an and more..

Kicking off the third instalment of the series is San Proper’s ‘Your Call’, a robust yet dream house workout fuelled by choppy bass hits, fluttering synth licks and a shuffled analogue drum groove. Barcelona based trio Triad follow with ‘Room N’, a hypnotic house cut fuelled by ethereal chord swells, modulating percussion and vacillating bass tones.

Tokyo’s Iori Wakasa then rounds out the release with ‘Rave In A Village’, as the name would suggest embracing a classic house feel via a winding piano chord, twinkling piano melodies, crunchy drums and mesmeric pads throughout.

This project also sees a new design concept for the imprint from London’s David Surman’s painting installation project ‘Paintings For The Cat Dimension’ which ‘’explores the motif of the cat as emblematic of internet aesthetics, a place where all painting styles and modes now exist non-hierarchically as pure information.’’

The city of Bologna (BOLO for locals) has been always a crucial junction for the underground music scene in Italy. Over the last few years a small group of bad boys has started to fill the streets with a distinctive and modern interpretion of house music.

We are here to represent that sound!

Ben Rau returns with the second release on his Inkal imprint February 15th, featuring new original tracks from the German artist.

Berlin's Ben Rau has become a prominent name in groove-laden house music over the years resident and artist with London's inimitable Fuse events and record label, as well as releases label such as JusGrooveIt and Body Parts.

This February will see Ben back on form with the second release for the label and opening th up is title track 'Work Hard', a smooth slice of driving house fuelled by snaking bass grooves,
slung bumpy percussion and vacillating vocal swells, whilst chugging acid licks and introduction of additional vocal lines gradually creep into the composition.

On the flip is 'Ouisky', another raw, stripped-back addition employing thunderous sub bass sur heavily swung percussive shuffles and an amalgamation of bright chord stabs layered into a hnodding, infectious and dynamic sequence throughout.

Ben Rau's 'Work Hard' EP is out on Inkal February 2017.

Spanish stalwart Dennis Cruz returns to Crosstown Rebels this March with a solid four track EP that sees him join forces with Los Suruba for the title track.

Title track Uhuru opens the EP with a tantalising groove, tribal vocal hook and mesmerizing percussion, inducing a trance-like state. The permeating bass of Notche enters next as it throbs throughout the track, building into a hedonistic spacetrip. Los Libros is a rawer offering with a stripped back percussive section and beguiling female vocal hook. Loco closes the EP with its deep, hypnotic rhythm and an air of darkness that is blended with scintillating synths in the breakdown before diving headfirst back into the intense beat.

Dennis Cruz’s musical journey has seen him win high-praise for his output with a number of awards and nominations including Best Producer in 2017’s DJ Awards. He’s released on influential imprints including Solid Grooves, Moon Harbour and Hot Creations garnering support from the likes of Jamie Jones, Loco Dice, Nic Fanciulli and Marco Carola.

For the fifth release of Thé Chaud Records, Jeff The Fool and Wilt associate their skills to make a deep sentimental EP shaped for the clubs.

Deep House Don Tony Lionni makes his debut EP on the label with the almighty François Dubois aka Funk D’void on remix duties.

The London-based Oscuro kick things off with the first full length EP from the talented young artist Bilal. A compilation of gritty basslines, cut-through leads and rugged drums, this 4 tracker resonates influences from all corners of Electro, House and Techno. Complementing the 3 originals is a remix from NorthSouth’s Henry Hyde. Broken drums, bouncing bass and trippy vocals tie together to create a reflection of a style that is synonymous to his sound.

Detroit's Filthiest closes his past (private stock) present (prime cuts) and future (premium content) trilogy, celebrating 20 years of Motor City Electro Company's excellence together with Casa Voyager presenting his outstanding electro funk works

Logic's 'Blues for you' is a stone cold underground classic. Period. 1994 NYC soulful house groove all up in your area. This is it. The real thing. Wayne Gardiner is a definite unsung hero of dance music, the majority of his productions leaving dancers and DJ's salivating and dancing non-stop. Across 4 different mixes Gardiner shows up the deadly art of simplicity, making all of the versions contained within essentials. Absolutely banging from start to finish. The vocal versions are soaring, the dubs are absolutely tearing, setting dancefloors alight from the Shelter to Club Coliseum. Another Strictly anthem right here, given some tasty 2019 remastering treatment and repressed onto a high quality, weighty 12" for all you record lovers out there, this one will keep them moving in the mix. Perfect NYC sounds here, untouched and represented in it's original 1993 form with original Strictly label artwork, you need this!

Nikolajev is a Tallinn, Estonia based producer, DJ, half of Dima-Disk with Ragnar Rahouja and co-founder of the club Kauplus Aasia and the now legendary Lekker before that.

His 'LEL' EP on Incienso is a diverse four tracker containing many moods and styles - All recorded live in single takes. From the Devo-meets-Deep-Disco shuffle of 'Plasticine', to 'Left', a song from an alternate universe where 80's movies were scored by Bunker Records - and the sweeping ambient passages that bookend them, 'Lumipoly' and '12 AM Monday' - This is an EP filled raw emotion, for raw people,
everywhere.

Sam Irl returns to Jazz & Milk with his latest "Free Two Grow EP", two years after his last solo release for the label ("Slower Bavarian EP", 2012). He has continued to develop his sample- & analogue synthesizer-based music further, keeping things raw and warm at the same time.

The EP starts off with the title track "Free Two Grow", an MPC live jam built around a hypnotic loop slowly developing into a heavy synth-driven Deep House tune. The B-side cut "Ions" builds on warm jazzy chords backed by tight rolling drums, creating a melancholic as well as a deep percussive vibe.

Representing his versatile musical background and his roots in Hip Hop culture, "Einerfuerheiner" combines heavy-hitting MPC-drums, raw sampling, dubby synth textures and a weighty bass foundation.

Sam Irl is a producer from Vienna worth keeping an eye on. He has released on Gilles Peterson's Brownswood Recordings ("Kutmah presents Worldwide Family Vol. 2" with Ritornell), Pomelo Records (as "Pulsinger & Irl" together with Patrick Pulsinger), Frank Music, Bonzzaj Recordings ("Untitled One" with Dorian Concept) in Switzerland and others. Besides releasing his own music he has done remixes for Aloa Input (Morr Music), Inverse Cinematics (aka Motor City Drum Ensemble), JSBL (Affine Records), Swede:art, Trishes (FM4), G.rizo and Munich's dialect-Hip Hop-group Doppel D.

Originally hailing from a small village in rural Lower Bavaria, Sam Irl has been living and working as a producer and recording engineer in Vienna for quite some time now. He produces tracks of various styles, ranging from sample-heavy MPC Hip Hop beats, analogue tape-recorded synthesizer Funk to raw Broken Beat and Deep House tunes.

Tracks Description:
A1 - Raining: Calma opens up with a hypnotic rumbler! Snaps and claps take us in, before the eery synths and floating pointesque keys punctuate and a squelqchy, distorted bassline rumbles beneath the surface, making you feel like you're at a party in a haunted church.

A2 - Cuattro: Calma takes us on a tropical trip, with an infectious sun-filled groove looping over incessant layers of beat patterns that weave in and out of the track teasingly, driven along by a banging bass drum to keep you nodding.

B1 - Mr Amarè: Calma shows his love for acid house with an epic, ever-evolving influenced roller that blends together nearly every percussion instrument you could ever dream of. Crashes, symbals and a cowbell drive it along, underscored by a seriously funky bass line and mysterious vocal sample that emerges halfway through tying it all together nicely.

B2 - Cuattro /Juju & Jordash RMX): Juju and Jordash take over the remix duties for Calma. The Dutch duo add their deep trademark sunshine inflected beats and sturdy basslines to the already tropical loop, while infusing swirling synths and strings that lead us in and out of the breakdowns and on to a late night, chilled-out dance floor.

Repress!

For the second instalment, Deepspace takes us down from the neon skyline to the hum of surface drones and tesla waves seeping through the circuit boards of the megacity. It's the slogan for our new robot overlords as we punch into cellular devices. The gradual seeping of billboard acid frequencies into the bloodstream as mutants whistle out from ventilation shafts. A hazy bygone recollection of biological matter as we sink into concrete, junk and mechanical S&M.

Another slice of essential Knuckles / Principle magic, here the duo's love of Italo and Euro pop records seems to collide with Chicago's darkened dance-floors and raw drum machines. Perfectly sleazy and insanely danceable, Jamie Principles voice was made for Frankie Knuckles pristine productions and their unique styles compliment each other endlessly,

Both tracks featured on this 12" take us into the subterranean night life of Frankie and Jamie's world, a world of yearning, heart-break, love and acceptance. A huge pairing of tracks on their initial release and still to this day some 25+ years later, "It's A Cold World / Bad Boy" was a total game changer, almost verging on pop but too "outsider" to gain the mainstream attention it so deserved, the record stands today as a true classic. Truly ahead of it's time.

Re-released for 2015, re-mastered and re-pressed with all the original Trax label artwork present in conjunction with the official rights holders / owners.

Finn’s 2 B Real bootyque drop his killer 82 min vinyl edit of Tom Boogizm’s prized live introduction to mysterious G, Michael J Blood, originally broadcast on NTS, issued on sold-out tape, and now newly cut on 2LP with track markers for DJ navigation and primed for smoky lockdown bopping - think Manny’s answer to Moodyman, Urban Tribe or Theo Parrish!
Meticulously distilled by Finn from the original cult NTS show and its sought-after tape edition, it’s as much a showcase for Michael J. Blood’s rudely soulful production and his circle as the deadly DJ tekkers of Tom Boogizm and Finn’s edit chops. Since the origi9nal 2017 broadcast the mix has been coveted for its bounty of unreleased cuts - a mixture of rude ghettotech and smoky soul-sampling jams - and the way it was stitched together, on-the-fly by Wigan’s funkiest son Boogizm - whose recent Shotta Tapes editions have sold out in minutes.
Now prepped by Demdike’s Miles Whittaker and cut to vinyl at D&M, the project enters a rare sub-subgenre of mixtapes on vinyl, packing 20 mins per side, with track marks highlighting Blood’s most in demand numbers, and all juggled in a classic Chicago and Detroit-via-Manchester style ideal for settee slomping or lockdown house-party function.
Trimmed to 80 mins of lean, it toggles the vibe back ’n forth between red-eyed studio abstraction, slompy Dilla-esque beats, synth-funk vamps and mutant ghetto-tech/Jit/juke with a charming, CDJazz loucheness, and keeps the gauge ticking up with a ruder feminine pressure recalling Finn’s own productions, and crucially includes some proper nifty, hands-on the 2000s chops by the Boogizm that sound like RP Boo, Slackk or DJ Rashad’s footwork flips of classic funk or even Actress’ classic Thriller edits, crisply framed and hewn for DJ use.
Trust it’s the lick. Do not sleep on this!

RAWAX proudly welcomes Danny Minchella aka Rogue D to the Family!

One of the most adventurous Get Lost albums to date, Pauli treads deep into more weird and wonderful waters and if you enjoy this then you should check out the double CD mix, it really is quite outstanding.. contender for DJ Mix album of the year

"The Shanklin Sessions came out of the Shanklin Road studio that Andy Sims shared with one of his partners from Soft Rocks, Bobby Coulman.
Acid Jan started it's life as a Jan Hammer edit that Andy was doing for one of Soft Rock's Disco Powerplay releases. There were a few parts that never made the final cut, but were too good to leave, so Andy got friend Jaime Read in to jam with the left over bits, and from that Acid Jan was born (none of the Jan's original parts made it to this finished re-incarnation).
Acid Jan found it's way onto Cynic label boss Felix's USB and subsequently was played at every festival/club that Felix played for about a year. When Andy heard Felix playing it at Alfresco Festival in 2016, they decided to release it on Cynic.
In search of a B side for the release, Andy dug out the other DAT's from the session Acid Jan was recorded at, and found Sitars over Shanklin, a suitably oddball track to grace the other side.
A little piece of Chicago via India recorded in Brighton."

Fideles take over! "The Border EP" features four consistent tracks of deep and driving melodies combined with modern day club grooves to win the floor.

Reconnected is compiled from Harold Lucious’ addictive 1990 release Connections, a visionary mix of soulful house, New Jack Swing and RnB, an American predecessor of street soul.

Deeply connected to music from an early age, Harold started his music career in the early 70s at the age of 16. He sang in his first group, The Final Seconds, who pressed a 7” single in New York City in 1973. The group would go on to record a full album called Neo Cosmic Blues, but never had the chance to press it. They would continue to perform and write together throughout the 70’s and searched in vain for a label to work with.

During that time, Harold landed a guest spot on the legendary Brother Ahh record Move Ever Onward, set up by his manager who was Brother Ahh’s sibling. Harold is listed as having played koto, but really he provided background vocals. Throughout the 80’s, Harold worked at WBI radio programming talk shows. On air, he would act out modified scripts to Richard Wright novels like “The Outsider”.

Connections was his effort to finally release a record after years of recording and playing music. Experimenting with dance music he came up with an album that was inspired by his love of house music and RnB. He sold the record out of his backpack, ending up with boxes of copies that were eventually destroyed when he had to move from his long-time apartment in Brooklyn. Few of the original LP remain, and it has become almost impossible to find.

Reconnected is a remastered redux with four songs taken from the original LP, and pressed onto a loud 45rpm 12” for maximum dance-floor potential. Mixed Signals is honoured to introduce Harold’s music to a contemporary audience around the world.

Having conjured up a virtual paradise in his last release ‘The Technological Afterlife’ Quaid’s third long player ‘Dreem Static’ takes us on a machine-funk odyssey to inner space:

“Every good story has a dream sequence. Where the narrative gets deep & surreal. This is mine. I made all the music through this lens. I wanted the tracks to be connected thematically in mood - so there’s a thread if you listen all the way through. Hope u feel it. Sweet dreems.”

A peculiar and short-lived Irish label, One Louder recordings only released two records, both of qhich are now highly sought after and practically begging to be repressed. Remastered for both a vinyl and digital 2019 release, we hope to make this music accessible again.

This release has 2 tracks from Dawn Again & Rothmans. Rothmans Ant runs vinyl only Rothmans label from Liverpool and Dawn Again who has releases on wonder stories and porn wax as well as Ant's Rothmans imprint.Nazare is a Balearic house which has been left on the slo cooker all day..

This time the remix picks up the pace a little for a more dance floor, Norwegian Disco-esque groove from EDSC's very own Neil Diablo.

The last shall be first one day, we will rise. We´re kicking off 2019 with our seventh record by HDSN. The rising soul brother could be expected to be on your list after some slaying records for NBAST, achieving sell outs in our entire catalogue last year. Now he´s back with lots of fantastic material to choose from starting off with a four-tracker that's striking for its undeniably catchy dancefloor-driven cuts. NBASTWAX007 is hard to categorize - you may wanna say it's deep, but honestly, this record is more than that, it´s a story telling master piece reflecting memories from captured moments in time. Show Me The Way' is our go-to track, but the others aren't sleepers. Mellow samples, 909-fueled drums and pondering vocals translating the complexity of the soul. It's the sort of EP that perfectly encapsulates all that's great about this endlessly eclectic producer, touching your mind in an emotional deep way - hard, haunting and timeless. A must-have record to properly understand the creator behind #datsoulthang. Grab your copy

Equally as deep, yet with the dancefloor in the forefront of the mind, Ray Kandinski remixes 'Daytones' into a club ready, late-night, Detroit leaning techno powerhouse - the perfect addition to this standout release.
