House Vinyl New Releases - News

324 Records is back with a third vinyl release showcasing a selection of Parisian producers.
From deep house to trippy micro & minimal, these tracks are made to fit any afterhour situation.

Hello sharks! Nothing can beat arepas, tacos, ropa vieja and some yerba mate to finish, take the advantage this time cause all of it is tax free.

Hot Creations is home to some of the industry's most valuable players. Next year, Darius Syrossian will make a welcome return to the label with his heavy hitting two-parter, Moxy, following on from 2013's Who's The Douche EP.
Kicking off proceedings is Moxy. Six minutes of pure, raw, industrial bass littered with a smattering of high-hats and a break down that will leave you begging for more. The flip side serves up more peak-time goodness with Hi, It's Me. A driving, throbbing bassline thumps over wobbling synths with a female vocal stating that she does not do VIP clubs or bottle service bullshit!
Darius Syrossian has made quite the mark on the industry. He began releasing music in 2009 and his proceeding career has seen him release a slew of dancefloor hits on labels such as VIVa Music, 20/20 Vision and Get Physical Music, as well as collaborations with Steve Lawler, Josh Butler and Sidney Charles. He's also held down residencies at some of the world's most influential clubs and has become an essential part of the Ibizan summer seasons.

"Kicking of 2015 in class, Pathway Traxx brings you this delicious (or should we say Deelicious) dose of Disco and raw house grooves.
Following our well honoured tradition, we have worked hard to unearth some fresh up and coming talent, and they definitely step up to the mark with this EP.
The A side is brought to you by fellow Leeds producer and long time friend, Deelicious! Having had a string of successful releases and collaborations under various different alias' this guy shows us his mature side with 2 sublime cuts of chunky disco reworks. Half the day is gone blends tight crispy drums with a teasing selections of filtered vocal samples and groovy base riffs. This highly infectious groove is complemented perfectly by the hair raising horn selection later in the track. A personal favourite of ours!
Hercules follows much in the footsteps of Half the day, with a punchy drums and seductive tale of dry keys and rolling soul vocals which is sure to get the goosebumps out!
The B-side drifts slightly more into the housey side of life as we welcome Pathway Traxx newcomer, Italian born Gioele Giacopelli AKA, JWL. Born and raised on music this passionate house producer shows us his ability to create silky smooth house cuts. You'd be excused for getting lost in the music as JWL entwines bumpy baselines with airy pads and soft keys.
And last but by no means least, as always we've saved the muscle for the B2 slot. Also from Italy, this guy has put a tough and chunky twist on the original. The track takes a sharp turn half way through and piles on the pressure with ringing cymbals, a ruthless bumpy baseline and drums strong enough to rattle your back teeth out!
We hope you enjoy. Remember if you like it BUY THE VINYL!"

The sixth release of the catalan label Bons Records comes signed by another kind of unknown (great) artist. We are talking about Embezzlement Society, a young producer from Belfast influenced by producers like Fast Eddie, as well as Pal Joey or Theo Parrish. In the label of Pau Roca and Gon he presents three cuts that go from the cheekiest hip-house (Haters Gon' Hate) to a classic raw-house vibe with a clear Detroit flavour (Mr. Jons & Stronger). Furthermore, one of his mentor nowadays, the french artist Fulbert (Local Talk, Foul & Sunk, Rawthencity) remixes Stronger and turns it into an exquisite techno-reinterpretation. Vinyl only - 12' release!
The benefits of the release will entirely be destinated to the Syria refugees

Hot Creations get set to release an album from label favourite, Toronto based DJ and producer Nathan Barato. Stepping away from his usual sound, Barato brings with him an old-school, energetic bounce to this ten track offering, inviting some top names to join him for the ride.

The album begins with Over You. Swirling arpeggios dance around the pulsating beat, providing the perfect backdrop for the poppy, yet soulful vocals of Wayne Tennant. This leads neatly into A Sun's Dream, which is exactly that - a warm, sunny track, pure party-time house produced alongside the French composers and afro-soul singers, Djeuhdjoah & Lieutenant Nicholson. Up next is Context featuring Lost BOUL. & NB76 - the aliases of Paolo Rocco and Nathan himself. It's a techier affair with contrasting elements that take the track through a range of twists and turns. She's A Rockstar, produced alongside fellow Canadian Room 303, picks up the pace with its infectious rhythm and playful vocal hook.

On In Ya Soul Barato utilises a booty-house style bassline, enlisting Chicago's Kid Enigma to provide the vocals.

High Rez brings back the sunny vibes with a tantalising guitar hook and dreamy piano topline, juxtaposed against the deep, whirring bassline. The slow, yet assured drum beat of Bubbles is up next with its woozy bass and gentile percussion sending the listener on a trance-inducing journey into the cosmos. Don't Say It features the smouldering vocals of Mikey V, layered over a throbbing beat that looks set to be one of Hot Creation's summer anthems. Penultimate track Yo Yo has a sturdy bounce and effortlessly blends cowbells and suspenseful synths.

The album closes out with Crazy - a track that's full to the brim of high energy with a marching bassline that's sure to cause a commotion on dance-floors across the globe.

Nathan Barato has been a key figure in dance music for some time. His diverse sets have led to residencies at some of the industry's hottest nights including Paradise and Elrow. He's had a slew of hits on impressive imprints such as Hottrax, REKIDS, Relief and Saved Records. As well as this, Barato also heads up the RAWthentic label alongside Carlo Lio, which has charted releases from top artists including DJ Deeon and Stacey Pullen.

Bondage Music reveals the latest installment in its 'Bondage Games' series this March as Sascha Dive, Frink, Toman and Philipp Gonzales deliver four original compositions for Part 5.
Launched in 2008, German imprint Bondage Music has established itself as quintessential imprint for many within the world of stripped back, high quality house music, releasing material from the likes of Mihai Popoviciu, NTFO, Markus Homm and Tuccillo across the past 12 months alone. Their 'Bondage Games' series has also become a key fixture in the calendar, and here we see the label follow up their 2018 instalment with another vinyl only EP this March, with four fresh productions from Sascha Dive, Frink, Toman and Philipp Gonzales.
Frankfurt's Sascha Dive opens the package with 'Dark Night', a slick house cut guided by deep, dubby chords and entrancing vocals, before Frink's bubbling 'Vega' ups the energy and welcomes bright melodies amongst rolling percussion. Next, emerging talent Toman fuses skipping hats and a heady low-end groove as he reveals 'Time To Time', before Philipp Gonzales combines hypnotic lead synths, refined percussion arrangements and suspenseful builds throughout 'Open Hips'.

For the 27th release of la Vie En Rose Records, coming from the most romantic town in Russia called Saint Petersbourg, we have the honor to receive the talented Vadim Shatalov.

He delivered 3 tracks between cosmic textures, melodic bassline & classic house beats.

On the A-side we have "Maybe Tomorrow" a solid housey beat, built with some classics chords, surrounded by a special atmosphere almost chaotic, the strong bassline is keeping the track really groovy and catchy. There is no doubt that "Maybe tomorrow" define the world of Vadim original, funny & futuristic.

On the B-side we have "Get Together" a bit of poetry coming from Saint Petersburg, Classic housy rhythm, fat 909 snare with a heavy subbbass, helped by some intense fm harmonics sounds, the result is an inimitable swing groove. The melodic pads are reducing the intensity of the track into something really romantic & sexy Vadim is a russian lover!

To close the EP we have "Bring it Back" same process, sexy and warm pads with a classic house 909 beat with different style of hats & textures, some warm and intelligent motives making the melody of the track, nice ambiance to close this wonderful EP.

"Maybe tomorrow" is an essential release for fans of La Vie En Rose Records illustrating what will be the the next chapter, keeping the roots and the Adn of the label.

22a main man Tenderlonious returns with a brand new 4 track EP, seamlessly cooking up a blend of hybrid house and broken beat with his unique analogue productions and signature flute instrumentation. The title track 'After The Storm' picks up where 2019 album 'Hard Rain' left off (Bandcamp's electronic albums of 2019) - a stormy, atmospheric 4/4 groove, with flute flurries, build the track to a state of euphoria. The EP continues with 'G Flex', a tune dedicated to Tender's mentor Sterling Styles, aka Equinox (Scientific Wax). Broken drum machine loops are brought to life by classic Tender flute and synth solos. Fans of his 2016 'On Flute' EP will be feeling this one!

10"

A fine blend of downtempo rhythms, old school beats, samples & deep house cuts has led us to call DJ Carmel to bring his full toolbox to the house of Kann.

Mancunian Hidden Spheres has showcased himself as one of the most innovative producers out there, releasing across the likes of Lobster Theremin, Rhythm Section International and his own imprint Fruit Merchant, all of which have been the perfect outlets for his inspiring blend of house and jazz. Church now features as the latest addition, who continue their stellar discography with 'Words Can't Explain', a collaborative EP which sees Hidden Spheres alongside singer-songwriter and guitarist, Oscar Jerome.

The collection begins with the original mix, lowering you into slick jazz guitar licks and echoing vocals, before Hidden Spheres provides a tight groove to lock around the melodies in fine form. The hybrid creation of jazz meets house binds perfectly as warm keys hang effortlessly in the air and popping guitar lines carry you onwards, supporting the sublime vocal from Oscar.

The dub version opens up room for the guitar licks and synth top lines to take centre stage, a real opportunity to marvel at the arrangement here.

On the flip is Yu Su's rework who ups the tempo and dims the lights for a punchier rework.. The half way point welcomes a percussive led break before the hats return and pick up the groove once again, closing the 'Words Can't Explain' EP in style.

finally repressed !

Mother Recordings label boss Nhan Solo delivers his biggest club tune for 2013 so far. A sample from a well-known Mexican orchestra combined with some funky drum loops is all he needs to unleash the magic. The hook is an instant booty shaker, so let me tell ya' something: it's good times and hands-in-the-air galore.

Super producer, super DJ, super live act... This is SUPERLOVER! The newest edition to the Mother Recordings family brings us his essential debut EP. This release is masterfully crafted for the summer party season with two tracks of pure pleasure. We're sure you will enjoy this as much as we do!

Steam:
Steam starts off with a dirty percussion and bongo groove then builds tension with a hypnotic melody and bass combo. Seductive and subdued vocal hits lead us into the breakdown for a blissful point of release. A perfect festival tune with a super sexy groove and a melody that sticks to the brain like glue.

Make Love:
"Make romance to the music - Love". The hook to this track is so catchy we can't stop singing along! Pure summertime joy and happiness to get the floor grooving. A super catchy riff and funky house beat opens the track while the vocal is teased in and finally the track explodes like a rainbow of confetti! Expect full booty shaking from the ladies from this one. Guaranteed to bring sunshine and smiles to every dance floor.

Supported by: Claptone, Tensnake, Oliver Koletzki, Teenage Mutants, Tapesh, Kyodai, Dyed Soundorom, Bubba, Leftwing & Kody, Animal Trainer, Jay west, BBC Radio One and many more...

Vinyl Only! 3 dusty and unique house-banger by Siggatunez...dancefloor and basement approved!
Siggatunez kicks off his - Siggnature Series' with 3 impulsive club-based housetracks which are diverse but in the end all of a piece. Over the last few years Siggi developed a distinctive sound that you can hear with all its facets on the - Neighbourhood EP'. The tracks combine the use of accurately chopped samples, edgy drums, additional synthesizer-work and a solid fundmament in the lower frequencies. Enjoy!

First part of 'Cygnus' remixes is here. That big track produced by Coyu and Sezer Uysal will have a second life with big revisits.
The first remix is signed by one of the biggest legends of the electronic scene: the mighty John Digweed, together with his studio partner Nick Muir, did a proggy-tech trip with tons of epic vibes.
Gabriel Ananda has turned the original into a more electronic, sophisticated and special track.
Last but not least, Coyu did a dub edit from his original cut, focusing the leadership of the track in the bassline instead of the melodies. Great names for an amazing package!

A return to France for L'amour Existe Encore, a young producer named Laroze's debut on LPH.
A giddy jaunt through sun-kissed house with smatterings of filter fiddling, punchy horns, bright strings, chopped-up vocals.
Twenty-five minutes of many DJ sets to come right here.

The debut Vinyl release on Re-Fix Recordings is an E.P from Waxwing who utilizes many years of studio experience and previous releases under different aliases to deliver 4 funky chunky house cuts. Unleashing vintage tones,the US garage influenced house beats shuffle and swing their way throughout,whilst warm,weighty organ stabs provide the backbone for the dubby grooves A

Is Nenor (or perviously Obas Nenor) Tel Aviv’s best kept secret? We don’t know yet, but we will find out some day. What we know is that Nenor has a small but very impressive list of labels that he already released for: Strictly Rhythm, Moodymann’s Mahogani Music and Detroits Swindle’s Heist Recordings to name the elite ones! The „Carefree EP“ is another strong release to be added to his discography. „Your love is mine“ is a splendid builder of a track feat another talent, Omri Smadar. More great basslines, crafty rhythms and sweet vocals on the flip side with two equal impressive cuts, „Carefree“ and „December day“. Keep an eye on Nenor!

Dream and Green kind of rhyme. Not really relevant but though we'd say. Anyhoo...Tim joins like minded artists aboard our dreamy ship and we're lucky to have him.

Each track oozes class and have been rocking dance floors and deserts alike. ‘Vacation To Life’ is a bomb. Tim's use of vocals in his tracks bring magic to the world. We think this is one of his best ever, ever!

On the B-side of the digital download (is that even possible) are ‘Cedar’ and ‘Light Eyes’. ‘Light Eyes’, another grooving dancefloor winner. That late bassline gets us every time. ‘Cedar’ is a three and a half hour epic that drifts. Buckle up and turn the lights off.
*Cedar is really about eight minutes but we do like to exaggerate on occasion.

Lo and behold - it’s Mark E on Studio Barnhus! Since 2005 the Birmingham-based maestro has continuously blessed the international discotheque community with a non-stop stream of carefully constructed dance trax – amounting to two albums and dozens of singles until his SB debut in
February 2020.
The Outdoor Pursuits EP contains four perfect exemplars of the Brummie genius’ warm, reduced signature sound - cherry-picked from a fresh batch of produce by an awestruck Studio Barnhus A&R team. Enjoy forever!

For Those That Knoe kicks off a series of DJ-selected compilations featuring unearthed gems and tried and trusted belters. The first release in the series is provided by label owner Ben boe. Ben has dug deep into the racks to select two personal record box faves. Slaves Incorporated (Paul Rayner) released a short sequence of raw UK-styled garage music in the mid-ninetees on the label "To Groove To Records" out of the UK midlands. The pick of the bunch, "Baby", a peak time thumper with classic organ stabs and swooping subs graces the A-side. Tom Gillieron, perhaps only known to folk on the London scene has released some sought after tech house classics. Originally featuring on his first solo EP on Reverberations in 1998, "The Fire" is an impeccably produced deep breakbeat track for the heads.

Following releases on Nervous Records and Co-Operation Recordings, and with remix credits on Wah Wah 45s and Far Out Recordings, Ben Hauke returns to home soil for his latest record. Recorded in between nightshifts over the Christmas period, ‘Nightwork EP’ represents a feeling of wanting more from life. Enlisting YAM alumnus Joe Armon-Jones and fellow night-grafter Unkle Lemz, the EP moves from downtempo to drum tool over four tracks cementing Hauke’s reputation as one of South East London’s hardest working producers

Tee Mango joins the DOG fold for his first full EP release, although we feel like we’ve been connected for many years through buying his Millionhands T-shirts, playing his excellent releases and having him previously remix Ron Basejam for the label back in 2017. Someone who has always carved his own path with attention to detail and aesthetics seemingly as important as the music, Tom has been a good example of how to make the DIY approach work for yourself since his first vinyl output back in 2012. Millionhands and Millionhands Black have seen the majority of his original material and edits but we’ve also seen him appearing on Royal Oak, Aus and Local Talk and future output planned for Permanent Vacation and his own new label SUPERUNKNOWN.

Opening track Cityspell goes for the jugular with a pulsing 16th-note bassline sitting centre stage while huge washes of deep pads layer up around it. Sirens and horn stabs join the scene adding increasing energy, making this one of those tracks that nails the balance between hypnotic deepness and hyped up intensity perfectly for the dancefloor.

Flipping over we have Do U Luv Me? which kicks off with a simple one-note Moog bassline and syndrum whitenoise snares before some crazy, off-kilter cross-rhythm synth stabs join the party; cue heads running to the booth asking wtf?! Just the kind of wonky, outerspace sh*t that we’ve come to love and expect from masters such as Maurice Fulton or Recloose.

Finally Tee Mango closes off with another absolutely killer cut featuring livesounding drums calling Paperclip People’s Throw to mind with those rasping open hi hats and rolling two beat bassline. A tripped-out female vocal sample and extra acid-esque synth line add to the frenetic atmosphere but melodic arpeggiating chimes ensure things remain deep and musical.

A really strong three tracker we’re sure you’ll agree. Give them a spin out and share the love in your charts and mixes!

20 years after his debut, here comes the Reconstruct EP by PEAN ROMAEL!!! Join the spring'/ summer with this warm & Lovely "house" trip...

Paul St. Hilaire's soulful voice meets Rhauder's deep & dub inspired beats.

Chicago house and Detroit techno devotee Simoncino is a master of authentic analogue wizardry. The HotMix Records boss joins the dots between the past and the future with his deep and dreamlike tracks and put out an album on Creme Organization back in 2015, and has remained hugely prolific ever the years. Here he explores a full range of sounds, starting with the slow and mysterious deep house of Housetime, which has beautiful synth patterns unfolding throughout. Two mixes of It Up explore ambient with a pained vocal loop and rubbery bass, and a loose and cosmic dub house cut that Larry Heard would love. On the flip, the roomy Tribu has dreamy Italo bird calls and glistening synths paired with punchy rubber kicks that set your mind wandering and Una Notte Con Michelle is expansive deep house with drums that march, tinkling bells and a squelchy bassline that is perfect for the intimate back rooms. Digi bonus Timezones rounds things out with smoky and atmospheric deep house that is filled with deft little details that occupy your mind as much as your feet.

After the excellent Shades Of Black compilation EP, Frame Of Mind brings you another 6 rare and sought after tracks from the mind of Toyin Agbetu. This time you are served with some of Toyin's finest moments as Nemesis. Incl the wonderful and in demand After The Storm and Heartbreaker. Also included is the lesser known groover Let's Make Luv Tonight. Nemesis clubby and ravey side can be heard in I Need U So Bad and Oh Baby Now. Killer re-issue with sought after early 90's trax!

Limpio Records is a vinyl and digital record label, founded in 2019 and based in Frankfurt am Main. The releases mainly focus on downtempo, organic and slow techno music. The first label release „Seltene Erden“ is a various artists EP, produced by artists that create new ideas of slow electronic and danceable music between 100 and 108 BPM. Our aim is to bring people, nature, cities and music together in a slow and powerful way. All our releases tell a story and are made for the dance floor.

Wrong Notes its really happy to bring Angela Tarrant alias Angel-A to the fam. We already saw her in the previous release by Vick Lavender,this time she leaves us an original one wich was reworked by the one and only Kai Alce who made up a dancefloor stuff following the true US soulful rules with the talented Chris Irvine on keyboards.
The other 2 version are made by the label's head Reekee who did his job with a more organic version on the Bside in collaboration with the jazz trumpetist Francesco Fratini and a second version which could make all people dance with a total analog drum groove.

Creating an album is a journey of self-knowledge through hindsight; putting together the tracks that will compose the oeuvre much like putting together a photo album. It involves looking back and undoubtedly reflecting over the memorable times that inspired each composition. That is definitely the case for Fejká, who released this year his album, Reunion. “The tracks on this album started to emerge from all different moments, feelings and mental states of my life during the last two years. They all have the same origin and purpose, to be fragments of my journey to find myself. Each song is a part of me,” says the German electronic music producer and visual artist.

Three new originals lead by Llewellyn, a moniker you might already know, an offshoot of House and wavy Disco traditions from Martin Enke aka Lake People. With this little background information it should be obvious that you wont find clumsy claptrap or overflown sample banging here. What you get instead is a playful modesty that carries dance floors easily to peak time euphoria.

Presenting another fully legit, remastered and repackaged reissue from the WD vaults! Brand new style for 2020.

Londons "Warriors Dance" Label was a unique operation + pioneering London label during the late 80's acid house phenomena. Home to an assortment of DJs, MCs and soundmen, they went on to make their own original and indelible mark on the rave scene from the infamous 'Addis Ababa' studio on Harrow Road on the North-West side of the city.

A former reggae and soul studio that was instrumental to the output of influential artists like Soul II Soul and more, a steady diet of reggae, bass, hip-hop, house and techno kept their edgy, and diehard UK sound and style right at the cutting edge of the dance music underground across the globe with the top DJs and producers of the day celebrating the label. The studio, helmed by label owner Tony ‘Addis’, acted as an incubator for artists whose names would go down in the history books.

No Smoke was one of the main and best known outfits on this cult label. Their mammoth worldwide, cult club smash 'Koro Koro' is still in DJ bags across the galaxy today! 'Righteous Rule' is another tuffy from this crew, some heavyweight bassline madness for the dance.

All the elements of the WD sound are here, a perfect mix-up of Reggae vibes, jacking house and tribal badness rolled into one. A proper record, to be played on a proper system! This one's become a rare catch out in the wild, and is fetching some P's on the web among the collectors. Here's a nice 2020 repress for you, done the right way!

No Smoke 'Righteous Rule' is the pure unadulterated WD vibe, featuring original label artwork tweaked by Atelier Superplus and lovingly remastered by Curvepusher, UK. Special thanks to Nicky Trax & Tony Addis. Proudly distributed by Above Board distribution. 2020.

1991 production by Flavio Vecchi and Ricky Montanari for Ethos Mama Production and Irma Records
Rimini , Riccione and all the " Riviera " always been the place where there is the highest concentration of Clubs and ' Ethos Mama was definitely one of the most underground of that period ... Ricky & Flavio imposed their unique sound and realized one of the most played and danced Deep House record ever!

Big reissue on Flash Forward

“I Do It,” the A1, is a 90s R&B jam—imagine Aaliyah—recontextualized into an acid-flecked big-room chugger. “Do It,” which follows, starts on the same foot, but strips the vox and charges straight into business, upping the BPM a smidge
along the way.

Then, “B3,” a nimble, electric ditty that fits its percussion squarely at the front and center of the mix, making it into a subversively deadly drum track. Rounding out the record is Baltra's version of “B3,” which takes the essence of the original and wraps it tight in atmospheric wigginess. It's a head-spinner and gives the EP a slightly psychedelic conclusion.

The third album on Black Focus continues the South London tradition but this time in the form of one of the originators: a triple OG, Steve Spacek. Spacek recently released a solo record through Alexander Nut’s imprint Eglo, dBridge’s Exit Records as Blackpocket, following on from his work with Ninja Tune under the Beat Spacek moniker and collaboration with Mark Pritchard as Africa HiTech on Warp.

He’s also made formative work with legendary artists J Dilla, Raphael Saddiq, Q Tip and Common and made early drum & bass tunes with his brother dBridge. It’s an incredible career resume and an honour to be releasing this new work. ‘Houses’ sees Spacek return to his Detroit influences, with house music at the heart of this record as it's foundation but as with all Spacek’s releases, it transcends genre and focuses more on swing, melody and feeling.

There are elements of soul, jazz and R&B interlaced within the DNA of his electronic music, alongside his signature falsetto vocals. The entire project was produced using iPhone and iPad apps, an approach Steve champions and feels liberated by using technology to join the past with the present. Describing the project his own words: “It’s been well overdue for me to be releasing some 4/4 House vibes!

This music has been a big part of my musical journey from dot. Mainly from two angles. The first is, of course, the early rave scene in London and the UK in general, with all its early iterations. Techno from the D, acid, (happy) hardcore, what we use to call dub house (pre jungle), coming into Garage and Balearic to name a few. The other angle is the music production angle: I’ve always used the basic 4/4 template as a means of being able to learn a new piece of recording equipment.

Whenever I get any new beat making hardware or software, I’d always make a house beat. I find it the easiest music to make and have always joked about how I can knock up a house beat in 10 minutes! Well now I have an LP’s worth to share! Taken a tad longer than 10min but hey ;) Enjoy.”
