House Vinyl New Releases - News

Australia based Brit Jamie Blanco serves up Kilsha's superb second EP and capitalises once more on a fine recent run of form.

Blanco has previously released on Felix Dickinson's Cynic as well as Futureboogie and more recently on Pelvis & Tone Dropout. He is one half of Ess O Ess as well as a solo artist making waves with his wonderfully off kilter sounds, and has played all over the planet in the last couple of years. Eclectic in taste and inspired by Balearic beats as much as driving percussion and acid, he is all set for a busy 2019.

Right from the off, 'Unit of Pleasure' gets in your affections with its mix of original live recorded percussion, aircraft noise and hypnotic bass. It's a wilfully diverse mix of sounds and scenes that is utterly compelling. The excellent 'Progressive View' then dips into broken beat and classic electro territory, with raw synths and cavernous hits driving things forward over a rhythmic b-line.

Keeping up the unpredictable mood of the EP, 'Grapefruit Agenda' is a tripped-out piece of left of centre house music, with paranoid melodies and circling pads amping up the energy and taking you on a real journey. The superb 'XOX18' closes things out with downtempo electro moods that are futuristic and dystopian, all with an effective analogue edge.

These four tracks confirm Blanco is a fascinating artist with a fresh take on dance music and provide another superb instalment for the supremely promising Kilsha Music.

Wilson Records is back with two rough dancefloor killer cuts, directly from Fabio
Monesi's archive, with a special 10" for the record store day 2019.

As the pop charts continue to speed up with euro-trance inflected R&B dross clogging up the upper echelons of what is considered popular these days, Apollo Records returns to soothe the senses. As the world around us frantically loses its head, there's a sea-change going on in underground music - a shift towards slowing the tempo down. The recent R&S label's resurrection has firmly planted it back as one of the most forward thinking electronic labels, but with A&R and operations now based in London, Renaat Vandepapeliere, original founder of the legendary label, is at the controls of Apollo from his base in Ghent to release the music he loves.

Over the years Apollo has heard the likes of Aphex Twin (Selected Ambient Works Vol 1), Robert Leiner, DJ Krush, Cabaret Voltaire & Biosphere pass through its ears. With R&S mainly releasing audio aimed primarily at the floor - especially in its first more techno led incarnation in the 90's - the Apollo output was something so distinct, that it had to be enveloped in its own home. Skewed more towards the more minimal forms of this electronic art-form, on Apollo releases if the beat encroaches it's more likely to be of the low slung variety.

Step forward Manchester's Joe Synkro to champion the soundscapes of the newly resurrected canvas. Effortlessly transcending electronic genres with his brand of deep, bass driven music, Synkro is primarily known for his dub-step and two-step production on Exit, Blackout Music, & Med School. With a wide range of thoughtful and, at times, beautifully delicate sounds he's picked up plaudits from corners as diverse as Instra:mental, Giles Peterson, Mary Anne Hobbs and Chris Coco. The past few years have seen his sound mature and him master various tempos with his original output. With this four-track EP we listen as Synkro examines the deeper side of his psyche and takes us into landscapes as yet uncharted.

Reflective and contemplative, the warm swathes of synths and contorted vocals on opener 'Broken Promise' lay the mandate for the journey ahead. A muffled kick drum sits low in the mix, keys drift through the ambience and you can just see that first chink of sunlight on the horizon if you look very closely.

'Why Don't You' is a slow jam of sorts. Stuttered Manchester sulphuric soul with guitar licks to boot, you're transported to the depths of a low-ceilinged New York basement. The track's vocal hook is a call and response that wouldn't sound out of place on a SBTRKT production or in one of Wolf & Lamb's slo-mo get downs. 'Memories of Love' continues where 'Why Don't You' left off. A reply.

I might be mistaken but 'Knowledge' to these ears echoes the sounds recorded from Jupiter on Nasa's voyage to this far flung planet. One of the most naturally foreboding sounds I've heard and which many a producer tries to emulate. A low-slung, almost tribal rhythm creeps into the mix, giving way to what sounds like dialogue from the actual space voyage

It's difficult to dissect each track too much as the whole release was obviously constructed to be listened to in its entirety in those late, late nights and early mornings when perceptions are warped and senses distorted. This EP cements Synkros increasing prevalence amongst his luminaries and the incredible envelope pushing going on at the moment in the electronic music world.

Debut release from Yamanu, a solo project from ADMNTi which will showcase a variety of sounds as well as collaborations and remixes from close friends.

001. Remix from Miffy (Real Gang)

Mastered by Alexandros Berdos.

Venetian born Simone de Kunovich takes the Superconscious sound into refreshingly bizarre territory with his debut 12” Mondo Nuovo Vol. 1. A student of film and the arts, Simone digs deep into archives of the mondo and exploitation genres, sampling obscurities and piecing them together with vintage synthesisers and a modern ear, producing mind-melting psychedelia suitable for late-night hypnotica and introspective home-listening.

From the manic resonance in “Strategia della Tensione” to the blissful atmospheres of “Mondo Segreto”, Mondo Nuovo Vol 1. is an intelligent collage of inspirations that blurs the lines between dance music and cinematic artefacts. A unique experience which sits comfortably amongst the Superconscious back catalogue.

After a standout Ep on Nachtbraker's label, and an Ep as NOTE on Tartelet Records, the Berlin based artist VERNER lands on Axe On Wax with the Debbie Coke Ep. The Album varies from U-R style dreamy electro, to drum machine jams, croaking basslines and jazzy synth driven tracks. This Ep is is a must for all house heads! Already getting early club and radio plays from Honey Dijoon, Brame & Hamo, Marcel Vogel, Eclair Fifi, Yu Su, Carista and Jaques Renault! TIP.

After signing on with Gatto Fritto’s mind-melting Sound of Love International Volume 1, we’re back, we can smell summer and we’re putting you in the capable hands of festival favourites, Washington DC’s Beautiful Swimmers.

A beautiful swimmer is a small blue crab. The Beautiful Swimmers are Ari Goldman and Andrew Field-Pickering (AKA Max D). And you, my friend, are about to get high on the happy. They’re here to take you on a gleeful joyride around their collective musical imagination.

The Swimmers are full-bore record enthusiasts you see, but whereas you might associate this with squirrelly, exclusive and crabby sorts, they are inclusive, human and warm. It’s a wide-eyed ebullient romp and the joy of discovery is one to share. And to see them DJ IS a joy - they’re having at least
as much fun as anyone else in the room, locked together tight, riding the same wave.

So even when shit gets somewhat darker, the tempos higher and sounds gnarlier (Analogous Doom) the world is never grey. When we’re stone cold balearic in the Adriatic (Plunky) the vibe is up, young and fun. Banging them B’more house beats? Well, you’re probably going to be recognising a welcoming RnB sample (KW Griff).

We’ve also been blessed with some Swimmer’s specials in the shape of ‘Blow Up Girl’ and ‘Living in a Zone’. Exclusive.

Ari and Andrew have previously worked in dog and childcare respectively. If this compilation were a dog it’d be a “rascal”, if it were a kid it’d be “spirited”. We can’t think of anyone better to be your guides, as they themselves might say, “it’s a vibe”.

This is the sound of Love International. Part Two.

--> Mr Raoul K vs Timmy Regisford, Claudio Coccoluto, Lehar, Musumeci <-- 5 top Jungs auf einer herausragenden EP. Trippig, deep, geisterhaft, treibender House. Die Tracks passen alle super gut zusammen, teilen sie doch alle ein Tribal Element, eine großartige Dynamik und euphorisierende Schallwellen. No filler, just killer.

-------------------------------------------------

Mr. Raoul K: After having met quite a couple of times while dj-ing in Greece, Timmy Regisford and Mr Raoul K decided to take their friendship to the next level: do a record together. Say hello to the 'Gongon Alt Mix' of Mr Raoul K's 'Moment Psychedlik'. Their rework adds am overall summery touch and softens the tribal beats of the original towards a more lush atmosphere. You're still welcome to lose yourself in the swirling synth sounds and mellow yet drving beats. Dance on. Watch out for Mr Raoul K 's album coming 2019 on Compost.

Claudio Coccoluto: With over 100 remixes, more than two dozens own releases and 70,0000 records collected and catalogued since the early 70's - Goats Head Soup' by the Stones being the first one he ever bought at the tender age of nine - Claudio Coccoluto is an tradenmark. He started an apprenticeship from spinning records on pirate radio stations to the all the world's most respected dance institutions. From television to radio programmes, his name and brand was exported overseas - The Italian DJ', his face was published in countless magazines (DjMag cover, July 97' and the new DJMag Italy in December 2011). An artist who accepts both the past and future of music production, he is surrounded by all the famous analogue machines of the 80's and 90's: Emulators, 909s, 808s, Vermonas, Akais, Moogs etc, but also obsessively experiments with the latest digital softwares and the explosion of the plug-ins'. His precipitation into the world of production led him to begin working on a project with Savino Martino and Dino Lenny, creating the record label - The Dub'. He collaborated with Subsonica on the production of one of the band's tracks on the critically acclaimed Microchip Emozionale' album. 1997 is the year of 'Belo Horizonti' (produced by Basement Jaxx). Claudio's most successful piece of music, which sees a sale of over 1 million copies worldwide and a definitive appreciation by a wide range of artists and critics alike.

In terms of creating history via the party medium, Claudio and Tina Lepre built the infamous Angels of Love' parties from the ground up, which he worked on for five years. However, his home ground has and always will be Goa Club in Rome - Italy's best club in terms of attitude and cutting-edge musical selection, one which was certainly nurtured by DJ Giancarlino, a man with whom Claudio has had a long- running almost brotherly musical relationship with. Via a mutual synergy and vision for what the club atmosphere should contain, the two founded the Thursday nights Ultrabeat' at the club. In more recent times, Claudio has dedicated more attention to his own personal night at Goa - Nozoo'.

Lehar's aestethic categories of the sublimity and beauty of nature find their roots in Romanticism. As you may notice while listening to Lehar's music compositions, intuition and emotion are the basis of his creative process, finally resulting in a near impromptu. Lehar's debut EP ‚Sargas' on Offenbach imprint Connaisseur Recordings has put him on the map of modern electronic music and represents his artistic manifesto: a mixture of sounds and atmospheres of dramatic effects characterized by intimate basslines and intriguing melodies. Lehar's EP Magic Realism on Diynamic Music, the indie single Number One Hero featuring Rush Midnight on 2DIY4, his contribution to the - 10 Years of Diynamic album celebration, his mini album - Picture released in October 2017 on Diynamic Music, as well as the - Penta EP he released on his own imprint in 2018, have consolidated his reputation as a producer. Thanks to the active work on the remix side and few collaborations with Musumeci, Lehar's music also appears on Compost Black Label, Endless, My Favorite Robot, Mood Music and Lost & Found. In 2018 he, together with Musumeci and Olderic, created the label Multinotes. In the same year he and Musumeci presented a new concept for a one night event called MUSE, in 2019 they will have their own summer residency at Heart Club in Ibiza.

Musumeci always has a deep passion for electronic music. He is successfully shaping and contributing a modern, forward thinking approach of dance music and club culture - made in Italy. With worldwide highly acclaimed releases on Innervisions, Diynamic, Connaisseur and a previous Compost Black Label 12 his state of the art house music received support by the likes of Mano Le Tough, Âme, Laurent Garnier, Tale Of Us or Ewan Pearson to name a few. Whereas Sicily based Musumeci, also part of the project Human Machine - making big waves with their 146 EP' , one of the masterminds behind the superb Italian underground label Engrave Ltd - and a top notch DJ of course!

anded Records is delighted to welcome back the legendary Norm Talley with a very special, limited edition 12″ vinyl masterpiece from one of the originators and true players of the Detroit House music scene! This release, as with all his releases, is written and produced through Norm’s fully analogue set-up. NO computers, NO digital limiters, No gimmicks. Just pure, warm, deep Detroit goodness. LTD edition 180g vinyl.

Nothing is static. Music moves you places. And sometimes your machines follow you wherever you go. That's exactly what happened some moons ago during a nature retreat in Icelandic landscapes. The man. The machines. Water. Lots of water. Trees. Endless trees. And the horizon. Out of early mornings & contemplation come 3 tracks of sheer beauty ready to reunite with urban dancefloors.

When they felt that the world around them became a place too chaotic to live, they knew that nature and music where there to calm their spirits and bring a sense for living. They are a musical trio who named themselves Lisiere Collectif in order to bring an ovation to what brought Bogdan Ardeleanu, Andu Simion, and Dan Gheorghe together. A minimalist and well controlled style is their productions' main characteristic, just like the movement of natural elements in the wind's blow. Although the project was born in the suburbs of Ploiesti City, their tunes travel through souls of many techno passionate people around the world.

Lisiere Collectif returns on their own label with LSR No. 03 EP, a collection of two original tracks and a great reinterpretation by Vlad Caia and Cristi Cons, formerly known as Sideways Invisibility Theory or simply - SIT.

In the early 2000s Derek Carr's notoriety for producing high fidelity techno was understated and unbefitting to the quality of his musical output. In 2016 For Those That Knoe initiated an acclaimed series of EPs which showcased unheard material alongside some long lost vinyl only classics from Derek's archive. Cut to now and the imprint has put together something truly special: a raid on dusty record shelves have been traded for one into the binary world, For Those That Knoe has selected 17 recordings only previously available on the digital format or previously unreleased, now remastered and pressed onto physical form.

No Fuss Records launches their first release in their vinyl series with the mighty Saison. 3 much in demand Saison tracks that have been tried and tested on the dance floor. The North London duo offer their blues inspired Deep House with "SeNor Blues" & "I Need Ya" On remix duties Werkshy flips "Something Made Me" into a mid-tempo disco infused slammer.

Run The Length Of Your Wildness is a weekly dance party held every Monday night at Underground SF in San Francisco, which initially launched on August 24th, 2015 in a small rave cave known as The Basement — formerly and infamously known as 222 Hyde — in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood. Friends and 100% Silk labelmates Cherushii (Chelsea Faith) and Roche (Ben Winans) started the night as an opportunity to DJ more often, honing their skills in the process. But thanks to the intimate setting, The Basement's supportive owner and staff, and the wonderful crowd who attended on a regular basis, Run The Length Of Your Wildness became so much more than that: a community of music-obsessed weirdos, nerds, scene fixtures, first-time ravers, and eccentrics, leavened by the occasional random partygoer passing by, taking a chance, and finding themselves hooked on their new Monday night mainstay.

We book primarily local DJs and live acts, and make an effort to book artists and DJs who have never performed out before. We encourage experimentation, and we're proud to say Run The Length Of Your Wildness has become a place for electronic musicians and DJs to showcase their expressive freedom and GO WILD!

On December 2, 2016, Cherushii, Nackt (Johnny Igaz) and several other beautiful souls were lost in the Oakland Ghost Ship warehouse fire. The loss is beyond devastating — we miss our friends dearly. The San Francisco electronic music community has come together to do whatever we can to champion their legacy, and Run The Length Of Your Wildness is proud to be an enduring part of that legacy.

Hobo Camp is proud to be able to partner with Run The Length Of Your Wildness to produce a release containing music from Cherushii and Nackt, to preserve their legacy and contributions.

All profit from the sale of this record will be donated to the families of Chelsea Faith and Johnny Igaz.

Johannes Brecht (diynamic) Und Christian Prommer (sonar Kollektiv) Setzen Nach Ihrem Kollaborations-debüt-ep "voix Grave" (2016), Die Wochenlang #1 Der Beatport Deep House-charts Belegte, Ihre Exklusive Zusammenarbeit Auf Diynamic Fort. "page Blanche" Ist Eine Weitere Klassisch Inspirierte Komposition Der Beiden, Die Sie Nochmal Einzeln Neu Interpretieren. Während Brecht Mit Einem Treibenden Melodic Techno-schwert Dunkle Und Vernebelte Clubräume Durchdringt, Nimmt Prommer Die Dramatische Richtung Und Kreiert Mit Zusätzlichen Synth-stufen Eine Melancholische Aura Um Das Arrangement.

Night Palms is the first compilation from Hobo Camp. It explores the vibes of Adult Oriented Rock, G-Funk, Jazz, Boogie, and Soul; synthesizing these genres to a form more loaded and laid-back (perhaps on a careless night time stroll, returning from the dispensary or watering hole, to the jacuzzi, houseboat, or waterbed). A smoother approach to funk, similar in production ethos to many classic G-Funk tracks (where producers created or sampled the smoothest yacht-rock and jazz-funk moments to create bass heavy rap), Night Palms takes it one step further, offering original tracks that return more to the inspiratory sources of G-Funk...sonically and chillingly cruising at the perfect tempo. A vibe perpetuated by perfect night-time temperatures, mist, ocean breeze, the sound of flowing water, and the laid-back grooves that seemingly accompany it under the silhouettes of California Palm.

Brian Ellis kicks off the compilation with 'Tides', a drifting instrumental opus of melodic currents that glide and weave in and out of each other. BOY DUDE introduces the first vocal with 'Modern Day Confusion', a wavy, pitch-bending journey describing the mental woes and issues in modern society. XL Middleton and Ghost close out the A side with 'Forgot About Each Other'; a mid-tempo, keyboard-forward groove, echoing the notions of dying or diminishing love, accompanied by his signature emotive driving keyboard lead. On the B Side, Mat/Matix starts it off with the deeply aquatic 'Bay Breeze', which swings along with textured padding with an epic wet guitar solo by Liam Kevany. Moon B pours 'Marina Player' directly into the harbor with a beautifully mutant and tranquil theme that would seem perfectly-placed in a moody montage scene of a speedboat cruising silkily along the waters at night. Jomeo Pugz ups the ante in 'Hidden Zone', a drum machine love anthem that describes the nerve-racking and inspiring aspects of new lust, romance, and the possibilities created between two potential mates sharing space together—yet alone. 'Deregulate' by Elegant Borzoi closes it out with sweeping synths, loose grooves, and the subtle and sweet vocal accompaniment of Megan Doherty (of Social Lovers).

This LP is dedicated to designer, artist and friend, Trevor Tarczynski (RIP). The title 'Night Palms' was a recurring theme in his work, and the jacket cover was created from his archives.

We are very excited to present you this new signing and debut EP by Dampé. A studio and live project from South East London. Since moving to the city, Dampé has been intimately involved in its club culture " from running warehouse spaces and booking venues to DJing and performing in groups across the city and Europe, under a slew of different aliases.

The music is made on a boat on the Thames and is a combination of dusty analogue gear, live instrumentation, and samples. For Dampé, influential parties were "Co-Op, FWD>>" and "You're A Melody" and echoes of those dances can almost be felt in the sound. Across five original tracks, the EP explores weirder and worldlier ends of house music, all with a nod to undeniably UK sounds.

"Peach Shuffle" is a made-for-the-floor, broken beat work-out that has this great warped and chopped Persian vocal sample giving the track a unique and world-wide touch, followed by "St James" Road", a crunchy live Rhodes jam and ode to a favourite street south of the river. "Move Me" is all garage-infused vocal loops and singing bowls and acts as an experiment-come-DJ tool. "Carn" is a super-swung hip hop beat featuring "SMBD" aka "Simbad" providing additional keys. Closing out with "Zongo Junction, At Night", a late night roller with material pieced together from saturated CR 78 samples and field recordings made when Dampé was recording sound for a film about witchcraft and the internet across rural Ghana.

To round up this exciting EP we ask a fellow SE London enthusiast "Nebraska" to make a remix of the title track "Peach Shuffle". Cutting up the vocal of the original, adding some mean bass and pouring a smooth "dance floor" sauce over it. The delicious end result is something we are very proud off and we hope you will enjoy as much as we do!

Denmark's Niles Cooper is someone who has been increasing his profile over the last couple of years. The "juuc" connoisseur has gained notoriety for some of his edits, reworks and sample-based originals on both Soundcloud and Youtube, so it's surprising that his first pressed 12" only came to fruition this past May. Since then, a few other records have hit shops in quick succession, stocking shelves with his freshly squeezed offerings that range from pulp-filled stompers to tastefully flavoured miksed smoothies.
Melbourne's Kyoku Records, known for keeping their ear to the ground and finding raw, freshly-picked talent, have penned Niles for an EP entitled "The Juuc Miks". The combination of the producer and label present a blend that's enriched to maximum umami. Shedding a bit of his familiar thumping flare for a more relaxed approach, the Danish producer presents a record that is breezy and carefree, in true Kyoku fashion. On remix duties they've enlisted the savvy up-and-comer Joe Corti, another name that's soon to be in high demand. Remaining faithful to their aesthetic, the Aussie label is bringing back the crane, both in origami form and within the traditional Japanese art itself. I guess you could say it's a crane within a crane...

Late August will see B.SOUL Music Limited release the various artists package 'Thanks 4
Nothin'', a four-track vinyl only release from the Tuscan imprint.
Marcos Baiano's B.SOUL imprint was launched in 2013 and across its back catalogue has
welcomed an array of classic and contemporary talents onto its roster from House legend Jovonn
through to Music For Freaks co-founder Justin Harris and Parisian producer Terence :Terry. Here
we see the label push on with its second vinyl release set to be released via its Ltd offshoot and
offered up as a various artist four track package.
Bosconi Soundsystem artist Rufus takes the lead on the release with 'Realize Dis' with classic
house tropes, employing a bumpy swinging rhythm as the foundation whilst murky pad swells and
spoken word vocals ebb and flow throughout the composition. Label-head Marcos Baiano follows
with 'Nullll', stripping things back to shuffled hats and wandering rave stabs before the latter stages
introduce a warm ethereal pad.
Opening up the flip side is Retro Activity aka Ivan Iacobucci's 'Rocket' edging things into Techno
territory with weighty drums, mind bending synth flutters and an ever-unfolding, billowing
atmosphere. DRMC's 'Do Not Disturb' then closes the package on a minimal tip with modulating
percussion, minute organic drum shots and airy pad lines laid out over its seven and a half
minutes.

After signing on with Gatto Fritto's mind-melting Sound of Love International Volume 1, we're back, we can smell summer and we're putting you in the capable hands of festival favourites, Washington DC's Beautiful Swimmers.

A beautiful swimmer is a small blue crab. The Beautiful Swimmers are Ari Goldman and Andrew Field-Pickering (AKA Max D). And you, my friend, are about to get high on the happy. They're here to take you on a gleeful joyride around their collective musical imagination.

The Swimmers are full-bore record enthusiasts you see, but whereas you might associate this with squirrelly, exclusive and crabby sorts, they are inclusive, human and warm. It's a wide-eyed ebullient romp and the joy of discovery is one to share. And to see them DJ IS a joy - they're having at least as much fun as anyone else in the room, locked together tight, riding the same wave.

A precursor to the full compilation album due in April, this 12' sampler contains two tracks plucked from the main selection.
An extra special Swimmers 'Mega Remix' of Foe's 1995 Baltimore house jam 'Are U Da Bomb / Blow Up Girl', and the smooth and soulful early 90s British classic, 'More Than You Can Wish' from Harlem Gem, lovingly re-mastered from original tapes especially for this release.

Bogota Records rings in 2019 and brings long time friend and collaborator, Oslo based producer
REMII, back into the roster, Remii delivers an outstanding release with his two tracks Cruisin' and
Late Night'.

'Cruisin' rides an 80's wave of nostalgia with warm synths and naïve chords plotting the course
ahead, while Late Night' slowly tells you a story on its own, going back to the future.

On the flip side, Bogota boss Ivaylo is on the prowl for House with his interpretation of the original. A
warm bass line, dreamy keys and groovy percussion, take the track into a parallel dimension with his
searching for House' remix.

Second part of the Prolific Trilogy series from S.A.M. on Delaphine. 'Money Blues' is a monster banger reminiscent of mid 90's french house but with a modern touch and very DJ friendly. Powerful 909 shuffle beats with a forward moving bassline, emotive pads, and a powerful vocal. Already received massive support from the usual suspects. Mixed and mastered by Joel Krozer.

Bike Thieves are back. On last year's celebrated 'Laura EP', the Stockholm duo plunged into the sounds of classic garage and deep house. On 'Catherina EP', Daniel Strand and Erik Danielson move in a slightly different direction. An explosive blend of afro grooves, tribal vocals and deep kicks and basslines, 'Catherina EP' lets the rhythmic frenzy of Fela Kuti encounter modern house. The record also features Saine, one of Finland's finest underground producers.

On the opening title track of 'Catherina EP', Bike Thieves offer a mysterious deep house burner which slowly builds up around punchy congas, sweeping pads and female chants, eventually exploding in an orgasmic djembe solo. They get even more organic on 'The Greatest Curve', an afro jam driven by funky basslines and polyrhythmic percussions. On the B-side, Saine offers his own take on 'Catherina', turning the track into a hypnotizing and sleepless groove of dance floor tribal.

Classic, idiosyncratic Workshop style House: uplifting groovers blended w/ chilled drifters.

collecting orders for repress!

Please welcome DJ Normal-4 on this original 10" in the Family. We don't have same mothers but we love the same women from the Rue Tabaga. This ep is dedicated to her and all the sisters. A1 is a transcendental training act original track from Normal-4. B1 have been made with Rasputin. Please trust us it's not because you nailed your ass that you have to respect us. Just concentrate on "chauffe le pain"

'Neverending Story' opens with 'A Dimension Reflected' and its introductory mixture of keys and beats. The beat is built upon piece by piece, while slippery synths fill in the upper registers. The second track, 'Planet Texture', opens with a blossoming pad which is soon joined by a steady kick and some bouncing synths. Before long an adventurous bassline joins in and puts the track into full groove mode. There's a twinkling synth floating above it all, sometimes present, sometimes not, making you wonder if you're really hearing it at all.

Next up is the first track on the B-side, 'Old Problems'. Filled with little samples and microsounds, the track uses its beat to push through heady and sometimes disorientating array of colours that swirl across the track. A wide synth enters affairs a third of the way in and helps push the track out onto the dancefloor. 'Neverending Story' comes next, featuring a skittering beat and atmospherics that seem to come from far away. A low bassline pops in and out of the track here and there, while pondersome some keys complete the mood.

The EP closes with 'Algorithm', another scrambled, unpredictable track. The track opens with a rainbow of keys and synths, darting between your ears in their affected manner. An almost glitchy ambient track, it brings to a calm close a fantastic release.

Fresh from her last release which featured an essential remix from Ricardo Villolobos,
Russian artist Julia Govor is back with three more great tracks on the ever excellent
Rhythm Cult.

Julia has come a long way since playing in a military band and is now a foremost house
and techno name who has released on labels like Cocoon, Hypertone and Second
State. She can also be found rocking crowds at the likes of Awakenings, Time Warp,
ADE & Sonar often alongside Richie Hawtin, with the core of her sound built around
an emotional truth, depth and devotion to seductive rhythms.

Opening the EP is the immediately absorbing 'United', a deep electronic house tune
with a warm bed of crisp, driving beats overlaid with acid twitches and dry claps. It
really locks you in and some female musings add a pensive air.

Next is the equally excellent 'Morse Code,', an airy and cerebral, super deep roller that
is quick and slick and filled with eerie atmospheres. Razor sharp hi-hats cut up the
groove, ponderous and hollow bass synths add depth and the whole thing is made for
heady backrooms at 4am.

Last of all is the seductive 'Parallelepiped', a quick and clipped deep techno cut that
will get you on your toes. Distant synth patters and perfectly programmed, frictionless
drums all add up to a steamy and seductive sound.

This is a high class EP of heady house and techno that will find favour with
connoisseurs all over.

After one year, Tbilisi based record store and label Vodkast Records returns with a new release. It is the first single from the forthcoming debut album by a young Georgian multi-instrumentalist Luka Dgebuadze a.k.a. Mindstreaming. In addition to two beautiful original compositions, Conflict 1 EP comes with the free-spirited and luscious remixes by Tbilisi based and Vodkast's own producer Nika J and house/disco Dons from London, Phil Asher & the Mighty Zaf.

Following releases from Mituo Shiomi / Drum Machine and Takeshi Kouzuki, Italian imprint Alley Version is back courtesy of their third release, the split E.P. 'Parallel Journeys'.
This time about, the label welcomes Sähkö Recordings man Nasty Boy to the fold alongside the label owners, FLML. Opening the release is the sounds of Nasty Boy's thrilling 'Give Up'. A slow tempo dexterous and exotic deep house track. Nasty Boy's other original cut here is 'Touching the void', a more raucous track with a heavy emphasis on drum patterns and sharp, simmering synths.

The B side kicks off with FLML's 'Oblivion Street', an analogue-heavy cut deep house jam that's perfectly suited to those dark, colder nights. Culminating matters soon after is FLML's 'Bouncy Dream', a good-time house record whereby FM piano-laden vibes cause havoc from the get-go. Limited vinyl only.

"After a bunch of noticed remixes and tracks on several labels, as well as warmly welcomed collaborations on their other label P.O.D CROSS, production and DJ duo Politics Of Dancing Aka S.M.A.L.L & Paco release their 5th Ep on their own imprint, Politics Of Dancing Records. Got Your Back EP is definitely cut for demanding dance floors, with two efficient yet classy tracks and a remix from Ukraine very own groove wizard, iO Mulen. Vinyl only."

"the Ep Starts With The Track 'true N' Livin', An Intimate Composition In Which St-paul Revisits Deep & Soulful House And Will Make You Travel Thanks To Its Powerful Vocal, Bewitching Bassline And Aerial Synthesizers.

The Second Track 'what's Goin' On', Is A Jazzy Deep House Cut Filled With Guitar Riffs That Intertwine With An Organ Theme, Funky Leads And A Melancholic Soul/r&b Vocal.

B-side Starts With A Funk-boogie Influenced Jam Entitled "this Pot Warms My Soul", Characterized By Its Cosmic Synthesizers And Leads.

The Ep Ends With 'the Tipsy Man (and His Jazzy Steps)' With Jazzy Piano Loops Who Seem To Answer To Questions Asked By The Groovy Bassline."

5th of the RSD limited series for Vianlog and Mr. G. Handstamped limited release.

The elusive Floating Points returns to vinyl with a acidic 4 by 4 banger 'Peoples Potential', once again breaking the mould and taking everyone by surprise, it creeps up on you like a fluorescent tide at midnight, drawing you in until BAM! you're lost and loving it.

The B Side 'shark chase' is a detroitan bass heavy bomb.

"This is an EP i have made entirely with the iconic Emu SP1200. i've bought it years ago and it was still relatively cheap, and i've been in love ever since.The real trick of this sampler is the easy and fun interface, added with the unique sound.This ep is a live jam recorded as separate tracks then mixed in logic."

To celebrate a century of outstanding releases, LNOE drops its first compilation; tracks selected by Sasha's invited guest remixers. Radio Slave, Frankey & Sandrino and Locked Groove step up for their label debut, while Fur Coat, John Monkman, Dubspeeka, BAILE and VONDA7 return.

After almost 8 years as a platform for new and established artists as well as for Sasha's own productions, Last Night On Earth is a global success. Label showcases sell out at lightning speed, including Miami and most recently ADE boat parties, which will live on in the memories of lucky attendees, and in January at Tulum.

Meanwhile the Last Night On Earth podcast has accrued a loyal following who eagerly await each month's new opportunity to experience Sasha's handpicked live sets. LNOE 100 honours both the artists and the fans who have made the label an industry leader.

With each artist picking which to remix, the compilation is packed with inspired new collaborations. Seminal cuts such as the very first LNOE release, Sasha's 'Cut Me Down', reworked by Radio Slave is interspersed with cult favourites, like Henry Saiz 'I Can Feel it Coming' which VONDA7 takes to new heights, and Locked Groove's rework of Max Cooper 'Careless'.
