House Vinyl New Releases - News

After their 1st birthday celebrations at the end of last year, 2019 will see Needs switch its attention to our planet and environment. The aim is to raise awareness of deforestation and climate change, and they kick things off with a record featuring Eris Drew, Edward, D. Tiffany and Henry Hyde.

2018 was a big year. After partnering with UN Women on their HeForShe gender equality campaign back in March (which featured a vinyl release and London fundraiser with Peggy Gou), they went on to celebrate their birthday with a record raising awareness for mental health which showcased the production talents of DJ Normal 4, Red Axes and Hodge.

Keep your eyes peeled for a series of events around the UK to coincide with the release. All profits donated to Cool Earth.

EVERYBODY HAS NEEDS X

Amsterdam based Dutch/German DJ Monty lands on house lovers’ favourite label Framework Recordings for an essential vinyl only

EP that goes beautifully deep. Monty is a brilliantly diverse DJ and producer who jumps from drum crazed madness to jacking house

To acid, disco or funk weaponry. He has a love for energising the dance floor that carries over into his productions and now

Framework benefit from that with these four new essential tracks.



The blissfully pad-laced deep house dreaminess of ‘Ingwa Jam’ opens things up. It’s an expansive track with jazz keys and spaced

Out grooves that are perfect for the early hours. ‘Ad Hoc Adams’ then bumps along at an inviting mid-tempo, with loose hits and

Rasping bass adding to the richness of the groove. On the flip, ‘Yamaha Army’ is a cosmic seven-minute journey with a soft acid line

And noodling keys all taking you on a real trip into musical house of the highest order. Closer ‘Fluffy’ is a subtly joyous, uplifting track

With muted euphoria in the keys and a heavenly atmosphere with weightless drums rolling below. This is timeless music stuffed with

real emotion.

Compassion Crew bows down with three wildly different prayers for the faithful.

Theory Of Swing Records makes his debut first release with a pack of 5 Old School House cuts from the south Italian groove machine St. David, showcasing his new label idea, with five strong club tracks from the sound and the warmness of the 90's flava..everything recorded with his Killer MPC2000xl.

Vinyl Only - Limited Copies.

The Nova Grooves for this release features an EP of the Dessen Duo titled "Break Of Day" which includes 2 remixes. The first remix of "Break Of Day" by Funk D'Void resumes the deep sounds of the late 90s with a fluid and classy song. The second remix "Daf" performed by Todd Gardner gave a touch of quality and topicality to the original that is a song with underground sounds.

DJ Pierre’s legendary Jack Trax Records returns with a delicious set of raw acid tracks from Finnish producer Type-303, who made his 12” wax debut on Posthuman’s I Love Acid imprint, with a release on Lobster-distributed ProForm this past fall.

“What is the Time?” kicks things off with a jacking beat reminiscent of the classic Chicago acid house sound, answering the question with “it’s time to jack”.

Next up is “Sound of Future”, alluding to Phuture’s classic “Acid Track” with a tough, driven beat and acid line that builds up to a psychedelic frenzy of claps, snares, and rides.

The title track, “Ghost in the 303”, follows suit with more of Type-303’s punchy percussion, interjected by moments of frenzied 16th claps, paired with an eerie, otherworldly pad taking the listener deep into the soul of the machine, the classic TB-303.

Last is “Control”—filled with dreamy yet slightly dissonant pads and a wispy breakbeat-inspired snare line that provides a deep, introspective conclusion to this acid laced journey.

Summer is coming sooner this year, and you can tell from the heat of the two latest releases from Slow Motion: yes ladies and gents, Italian Dance Wave Compilations are back! The first of the two, “Italian Dance Wave Disco Sette”, is here to delight you: starting from a half Italo and half Asian influenced Altieri track, killing it with a dancefloor belter that will make you sweat the night away, raving sensations guaranteed. Lukebox (Fabrizio Mammarella and Umberto Saba from the duo Loudtone) will serve you a slightly more downtempo, modular, weirdo beast that will make your head bang without you even notice: banger. Back on your turntables, is also Robotalco who is providing some proto-house extravaganza and adding some charme to the dirty, chunky beats of the compilation. Last but not least, José Manuel, delivering a touch of biting deep house and electro tribal feels to close the gap, and make us scream “hell yes”.

Following on from the success of the most recent Moscow drop ‘Waisted’, Archie Hamilton’s next release is ‘Make the Difference’ with New York’s Sole Channel Music and Muzik 4 Tomorrow founder aka Mr V.

‘Make The Difference’ in its original form is a mesmerizing and slice of anthemic vocal house laced with the spine-tingling and sumptuous tones of Mr V.

A track tailor-made by Archie for those life-affirming dance floor moments, Mr V’s vocals home in on the core values of house music in its purest form, unity and sanctuary in the freedom of expression.

On the flip is two club tools, Mr V’s acapella and Archie’s VIP mix, a fast tempo techno-driven banger geared for peak time energy.

The Daydream family is truly honored to present its latest various, this 7th release is a special one as it brings together forces who've previously released on the imprint.

Casey Spillman opens this new chapter with a poetic and powerful piece, followed by Kepler. who delivers a very deep and nervous cut.

On the flip, Le Louche launches an impressive rolling bomb, while MJOG closes the various by a solid and dubby odyssey with a delightful acid touch.

Track by track, sounds after sounds, this new various gathers everything that make our signature, it's family business!

For The Label's Latest, Doubtingthomas Turns In The Exceptional Gaazol003. Featuring Three Originals From The Main Man As Well As A Remix From Beste Modus Man Diego Krause, It's A Colourful, Spirited Release That's High On Top-class Sounds From The Offset.

Ushering Us In Is The Sounds Of The Title Track. A Sprightly, Vibe-heavy Cut That's Notable For Its Quick-footed, Nimble Aesthetics, It Kicks Off In Fairly Innocuous Fashion Before A Captivating Baseline Rears Its Head. Keeping Us Second-guessing Throughout, It's Full Of Twists, Turns And Suspense, A Clever Ploy That's At The Heart Of The Producer's Most-renowned Works. The Original Is Then Complimented By Krause's Remix, Which Takes A More Upfront, Dancefloor Driven Approach. Notable For Its Clever Drum Work And Meandering Outlook, It's A Fitting, Contrasting Celebration To The Original's Many Charms.

The B Side Gets Underway With 'drive', A Flair-filled Cut That Features Riviere At His Most Classy. An Intricate, Smile-inducing Jam, It's Indicative Of The Sort Of Atmosphere-building Track That The Likes Of Zip And Ricardo Villalobos Tend To Utilise To Great Effect. Culminating Matters Is The Sounds Of 'wakarimasen', A Zippy, Synth-heavy Track Full Of Unusual, Off-kilter Field Sounds And Samples Aplenty. Another Release That Showcases The Range And Depth At The Heart Of Doubtingthomas' Music, This Is A Special Release — And A Notable One For A Producer (and A Label) That Continue To Make Great Strides

finally repressed

KiNK's debut on Clone Royal Oak.

Introducing this first look at The Vision; a Bristol Boston collab with a locker of funk ready to go. Dusted up from endless years digging this pair of record enthusiast’s productions are full of the flavours of original disco and soul. This debut outing sees the pair dive deep into their record collections and add their unique stamp on personal house & R’n’B classics.

HOMAGE is back with more Miley Cyrus approved bangerz for the fifth release in their already impressive catalog. Here we see the boys commission a remix EP for JVXTA's standout project, Rudy's Disc 31, with remixes from Cinthie, Black Loops, and k2k. Cinthie kicks things off with two jackin' versions of "Brawn," flipping the original into two peak-time soulful house weapons. On the B-side, Black Loops twists "Rudy's Disc 31" into a certified floor greaser, combining its jazz fueled piano sample with his signature deep house style. k2k lines up the fatality with an even more hypnotic version of "State Of Nature," fully equipped with a fatty bass line, lush pads, balearic flutes, and transcendent vocal riffs. Rudy's Disc 31 (The Remixes) is another fine affair from the HOMAGE boys, who at this point, gotta be the plugs.

The 10th release on Tooman Records comes from norwegian producer Henrik Villard. We are very delighted to have him on board with his Someday EP containing 4 excellent tracks. House music with a deep passion.

Spell PETS backwards to get STEP. Spell STEP forwards and you get PETS going back to basics. STEP is the new vinyl-only label from the founders of PETS – Catz n Dogz – with a focus on the rawest forms and root functions of dance music. STEP searches for the fundamentals with under-theradar house and techno that’s not afraid to be rough around the edges. It’s all about the music.

This could be the anthem you are looking for. Here is the official Alan Dixon remix of Frank Bookers Gospel Anthem Rise and Shine that will tie any room together like Lebowskis carpet. The flip side has Alan Dixon s house stomper What Cha Gonna Do feat Meleke and a remix by Chief Lumberjack Marcel Vogel. Positive vibes all around.

A fresh and exclusive collection of music compiled by Gerd Janson. Music For Autobahns 2, Ambient Race Car Music!!
So, what awaits you on the second edition of a compilation that claims in a winking to present 'ambient race car music' Exactly what it says on the tin. A fresh and exclusive collection of music that hopefully sounds as great in a car as it will in the comfort zone of your own living-room or during dusk and dawn in your favorite club environment (see Bicep and Fort Romeau for further reference). But first and foremost it is truly inspired by many trips on the Autobahn between Frankfurt and Heidelberg. Going to and fro from one club to the other, was the way to spend countless hours of adolescence in excitement instead of tedious purposelessness. But I will not bother you with droll stories of my youth.

Musik for Autobahns 2 is the result of a collective effort by dear friends and esteemed colleagues who picked up where the first one ended, while paying attention to the prevailing theme. From Leon Vynehall and his profound research of the BAB 5 to Joy Orbison's 'A 213' or Lauer's heartfelt and wry Kraftwerk pastiche, all of the tracks have a certain compatibility in common or just sound great, while having a drive. 'Breaking' by AKSK for instance made the stop-and-go traffic in the blazing heat of Los Angeles so much more bearable (the vintage Volvo helped as well). Also, you will meet freshmen like Orson Wells, whose idea of traveling exceeds the boundaries of our planet, next to a grey eminence like Orlando Voorn (on the compact disc edition of this at least) or elusive characters like Disco Nihilist. All bringing their special skills and imagination to the table.
Gute Fahrt,
Gerd Janson

The 3rd EP (of 4) looking at the music of Exquisite Corpse's output from 1992 to 1994. As with the rest of the series the music included covers the palette of Robbert Heynen's output and is presented here, remastered and redesigned for club play.

Working as ever with friend and engineer Tim Freeman, as well as partner Debbie Jones, Heynen's post-Psychick Warriors Ov Gaia productions took his techno, trance and tribal explorations to a new conclusions.

With Point Zero all these elements come together with possibly the strongest tracks of the EPs. Opening EC's sophomore album, Inner Light, there is confidence in the interplay between oscillating sequencing and rattling drums, perfectly and infectiously interweaving between headspace and dance floor.

B K S from the Dream Night Dance Music album follows and takes things down a notch. Ethnic leanings interplay with light percussion and a deep bass to pull you till dawn.

Side two opens with the clattering, syncro-rhythms of Traditional Ties With Dreaming. Taken from their debut EP, Reassembling Reality is itself the perfect elude. Quasi-dreamlands, drumming for 1000 musicians that loops and builds, dismembers and starts over like a gentile, hypnotic orchestra.

To complete the EP, Dream Night Dance Music appears again with Elevator showing a love of the original deep house odes emanating from Fingers and Jefferson of late 80s Chi Town. Fluorescent keys overlay somber drum and bass to sink the most melancholy sunsets. An end to the beginning. A beginning to the end. A third ending.

Especial returns in 2019 to celebrate a 5th year by carrying on it's mission to mix and match influences firmly worn, with a welcome to one the UK's most respected 'old skool'producers, a man who can flip from Garage to Breaks, Digi-dubto Deep House, all while riding a killer riddim.Little is known aboutPeter Riley aka Persian, except the near 20-year stream of superlative productions, more often than notself released on his blink and you'll miss it, Existence Is Resistancelabel. Empiretakes two cuts from these sought after slabs of vinyl and presentsthem here in specially extended versions,backed with remixes by new label heads Project Runaway and old hand, Alphonse. In Project Runaway, the label presents a new project from Alek Lee (Antinote) and Stephan Bazbaz (No Waves), two respected producers in their ownright, coming together to a deep heavyweight bass-percussion-dubreimagining, where Arabic and Hebrew sit side-by-side is literal (musical) harmony. The flip pauses to presentthe raw power of Parvaaneh. Again extended especially for the EP, this bass and acapella, is a call to simply listen.Who else but to ask for a rework thananother mysterious 'who he',in Alphonse. First (re)discovered by thelabel in 2015, he has since goneon to release for Klasse Wrecks and Hypercolour to acclaim. Taking Parvaaneh's vocal to a Labyrinth basement, the squelching bass, raw sequencing and afro-vocals submerge and converge tohyno-effect.

New Melodymathics

Already making waves with a series of releases and remixes for labels such as Hottrax, True
Romance, We Are The Brave, Nice Age, art | werk, and forthcoming music on DJ Haus’ Hot Haus
label, 9th House brings his astrologically charged house to this special vinyl only release.

‘Keeping Me Up’ emits huge rays of sunshine, with its piano driven house chops and soulful vocal
licks. It’s of no surprise, then, that the likes of Midland, Dan Shake, Peach and William Djoko are
already playing and supporting this one. On the flip, ‘The Calm Of Libra’ channels early 90s
break-beat house, coming over like a modernized Nu Groove track, the aficionados will appreciate the
musical sentiments here for sure!

Long time dj and musician Bengoa, is getting things started by launching his brand new platform, B2 Recordings, as a mean to manage his own multifaceted creations, as well as focusing on favorite outputs around the globe. After his Blind Stitch Records imprint, that only put out two EPs and one album, the Greek artist decided to put everything under one roof, thus B2 Recordings was born, kicking things off quite in style, with this GRANDE remix EP.. "What You Give" is the title of Bengoa's first album from the not too distant 2014, which is now remixed by two legends of the house / deep house scene. On the draw side, one of the most important heads in dance music around the world, mr Larry Heard, has picked "Eye Talk" and delivered two amazing versions of the original track, featuring vocals by Brothers' Vibe! The American producer, remixer, vocalist and dj, has been successfully around now for 35 years, creating his own musical world, and that's where he is taking us with his remixes on this ep, floating between acid baselines and deep underground chords.. On the flip, Spanish deep house maestro and owner of Deep Explorer Music, Dubbyman, delivers a superb, straight-for-the-floor version of Bengoa's "The Touch". His unique style of mixing electronic music with jazzy chords and spherical grooves, works flawlessly with the spoken vocals on this track, perfectly showcasing Dubbyman's raw talent as a musician. A mature and complete record that shouldn't be missing from your deep house collection..

Meda Fury welcomes Tom Wrankmore aka Eliphino to the imprint for a stunning EP of thunderous breaks, 303’s and serious sub-bass pressure. Hailing originally from the Leeds, but with wider travels to settle down in both London and Berlin, Wrankmore’s music embraces hip-hop, rave, and UK garage. He now serves up
a pungent confection pitched between the Hessle Audio crew, Joy O and Demdike
Stare’s most recent efforts. Having released heaters for Brownswood and Hoya Hoya over the years, Eliphino now debuts as part of the Meda Fury family with the Realistic Sex EP.

Wrankmore has been locked away in his studio for the last 1.5 years, abstaining from gigging and releasing records to knuckle down and produce, emerging with a new darker edge and a much more hardcore sound. Tom explains: “The theme of the EP
is trusting your intuition in an information flooded world. I’ve collaborated with visual
artists Tom Pounder & Jon Harris who have created two videos for the release, one for Disc Rhythm and one for Realistic Sex." Meda Fury boss Nick Williams; “Tom's new music epitomises to me what modern club tracks should sound like - wild, energetic, deadly. He’s discovered his own dark new world of sound fusing breakbeat, acid, speed garage and even industrial stylings”

French label Khasia Hills (founded by Real J, Kerstone, Jus Jam and Robin Riccitiello) is back with its third release Monsoon' by Jus Jam.

Straying away from the direction of their first two drops, which had highlighted the quartet of producers, Monsoon takes a deep dive into co-founder Jus Jam's musical universe.

Faithful to his unique and signature style, this four track vinyl blends nostalgia with laidback grooves. Sit back, relax and ride the wave.

Who is Boelja? Who is Sebastian Mullaert? Who are they really? Are they the finite body and a collection of thoughts? And who are you? Are you your memories or perhaps your projections of the future? Or are you this present moment?

What is silence? Is it solely the absence of sound? Or are all sounds springing out of silence and falls back into the same? And what is sound without context? Is it just nonsense? Or is there something more universal to it?

Where did the second vinyl go? Is it sitting in an attic or warehouse somewhere waiting to be discovered? Is it being played as you are reading this? Is all of this just a game? Are YOU being played?

Did someone make this music or did the music just happen? Where does the process of creation start? Where does it end? And who is the listener? How does the listener affect the music? Is there really any separation between the creator, listener and the music? Are they all one and the same?

What is next? Where is all this going?Is there an end? Or are your actions just another event happening in this never-ending stream of consciousness? And to whom is it happening?

Hugo Mari, formerly known as Books, has been receiving a lot of welldeserved love of late, and for good reason. Even though the London-based producer has been delivering respected dance-floor cuts and Edits on labels such as Omena, XVI and Sound Of Speed, his most recent release on Detroit Swindles’ Heist has really helped put him on the map. Having remixed Dele Sosimi and been remixed by Laurence Guy and Kai Alce, Hugo is moving in the right circles and it’s only a matter of time before he really gets the recognition he deserves.

His debut EP for Freerange is aptly titled Unalloyed Pleasure and consists of three originals that will give you and the dance floor just that. The lead track manages to meld slamming kicks, distorted bassline, deep, cinematic strings, disco hats and cut up spoken word into something fresh and unique.

Raise It Up sees Hugo go full on euphoric disco mode with an uplifting slice of sun-drenched soul just perfect for the summer months ahead. Lush Philly strings and vocal sample bring a classic vibe and catchy hook to the party.

Closing out this brilliant EP we have Just A Memory, a jazzier and more pensive slice of deep house music with upright bassline and familiar Rhodes sample taking centre-stage. Snippets of vocal float in and out of focus whilst the rolling, percussive groove brings an immersive energy that locks you in to it’s seductive mood.

"One of the hardest thing as a musician is to maintain this naive, almost utopian and emotional approach to our music. Especially when it comes to a highly codified genre like Electronic music which appeared in the late 80s/early 90s like a promise of a bright future for music, everything sounding so fresh and revolutionary. When Katerina sent me those demos I heard that freshness, that pure intention, something I remember from discovering melancholic Detroit tunes in the 90s or early Warp ‘artificial intelligence’ compilations, bridging the gap between techno and more intricate electronica. It’s been a while since I didn’t hear an EP so sincere - and not JUST nostalgic, that makes me want to dance alone in my living room and forget about everything else. It’s a subtle thing that makes the difference but that difference is everything, it’s Music."

- Joakim

"The Middle Passage was the triangular sailing route from English ports, to capture Africans from the continent’s west coast, and sell them into slavery throughout the United States and Caribbean islands. This labour of greed resulted in over a million deaths, the American scam, and astigmatisms of oppression that still resonate on all sides of its legacy. Just as cells pass the memory of past lives to an unknowing infant, we bear the scars of our inheritance with pride, faith and sometimes, resentment.” Dave Giles II (Dave + Sam)

Dave + Sam are the Brooklyn based duo making house music with a message. With Dave Giles in control of vocals and Sam O.B. handling production, the pair’s unique style captured the attention of Classic Music Company, their debut ‘Middle Passage EP’ now offering a 12” preview of their forthcoming album on the label. Opening the A-Side ‘Til The World Blow Up’ is a call for unapologetic expression featuring house legend Mike Dunn, followed by the ‘Sauce’ Instrumental, a blissed-out vibey mix, stripped back and refined. The B-Side is comprised of ‘Day One (Oh Baby)’, a nostalgic love letter about stepping into tomorrow, with a more dance focussed tone to the emotive A-Side. Rounding off the release is ‘Sauce’ where Dave’s spoken vocal accompanies Sam’s Afrobeat-influenced production, resulting in a decidedly cool track. If this is a preview into the world of Dave + Sam, this 12” release holds the album in high expectations.

Limited to 250 copies, hand numbered and includes sticker.

Finally time now of the first Various on the label with Tommy Vicari Jnr, Cinthie, Daniele Temperilli and Thomas Wood that pull out four awesome dancefloor house tracks!

Johannes Klingebiel's Positional Play is a masquerade of shape and texture, a carbonated collection of capers to stray and sway with.

The Cologne-based producer, DJ, and Ancient Future Now label-boss dispatches four tracks of angular, emotive acid house destined to be intensified by the reception of perspiring dancers and exultant listeners around the globe.

"Positional Play" combines the gentle whiplash of splashing snares with a delirious, flourishing arpeggiated melody, while "Nah" draws the ecstatic inward to its essentials, opening with the sparse chime of bells, faraway metallic percussion, and plaintive piano pluck before accelerating into a chord-busting frenzy.

"Five Dimensional Coffee Cup" is the real rave up of the bunch, though, offering an energy alloy with pure, psychedelic force. Finally, "Please Please" pares down to swinging percussion and pleasing / pleading melody, overlaid with soft, swelling chords.

The latest 12" in a new chapter of Beats In Space Records, Johannes Klingebiel's Positional Play comes in a sharp dressed sleeve, bumper-stickered and ready to rip under the needle's sturdy pressure.

Food Music is massively privileged to officially bring you Xpansions “Move Your Body”, as the next instalment of Shadow Child’s ‘Curated by’ series.

With all manner of DJs reaching for the original 1990 hit still to this day, we’ve remastered it exclusively to vinyl and brought you fully official reworks from today’s elite.

Using original salvaged parts from the Xpansions vaults, we have remixes from Krystal Klear, Rebūke, and Loods who all bring a fresh take as we enter summer 2019.

Krystal Klear heads up the mix package, taking us into electronic bliss with his sublimely fresh synth stabs and a huge breakdown that will tease all your senses.

Rebūke’s massive techno twister is set for the big rooms too, with a new riff following the bassline melody, trippy vocal production, rolling percussion and his trademark crescendo’s.

Finally, Loods takes us on a retro house tip with pulsating hi-hats and a new take on the melody with bumping bassline’s and energy.

Pressed For Time did a great job of unearthing British deep house cult heroes BRS with the Situation E.P. last year, and now they're back with another slab of high grade club tackle from this criminally overlooked outfit. "Devil's Music" is a luscious, easy-paced groover that drips with honey-coated synth lines to make you go "hmmmm." Pressed For Time regular YSE knows what's up, nudging the track into a headier deep house zone that would go down perfect in a woozy, smoke filled late hour of the party. "Better For That!" is a cheeky little organ laced number that straddles the deep house and minimal shuffle crowds with its sharp, snappy arrangement. Then Goshawk lands a killer remix of "Out Of Reach" which heads into freaky, swinging territory for the cool cats to get loose to.

Once upon a time, the footjob crew moved into a new studio space in their hometown Darmstadt. This location was previously used by a religious community that found its purpose in the worship of Shiloh. Phonk D and Sascha Ciminiera have somehow absorbed the spirit and created this EP as if by magic. In order to enjoy this spiritual journey even more, they asked Johannes “the wizard” Albert for his support. He was immediatly hooked, threw a few herbs together and brewed them a tasty remix.

Utrecht-based Tala Drum Corps fires off six fresh tracks on his playful debut release. Expect esoteric drum excursions and enchanting acid exercises. These jams can end up in the peak of your set or just when it's time to take a breather. Comes in freshly hand printed artwork by the BAKK Rhythm Regiment.

As club music flows, ladeep limited refreshes the catalog from LDN to CBA featuring Justin Pak (High Pressure Music), JustGrowth (4plae), Dellacasa (Re.Face) and Twodeep (Rubisco). Four top notch recruits to Ladeep collection.

Dokutoku four is here courtesy of Guillaume & the Coutu Dumonts. The Yuzo Kosho Do EP is a three tracker featuring a sound that's always intriguing but equally difficult to define. All three tracks are intricately rhythmic and very much indicative of the Montreal-based producer at his most emphatic.

Dokutoku Records is here with it's first release from label boss Katie Drover.Scenario Name is an elegant and moody number with a heart of jazz. The original has been artfully remixed by Cesar Merveille who has constructed an 11 and a half minute groover with twists and turns that will move the after hours.
