House Vinyl New Releases - News

Lost Lake has been a long-time contributor to the Make Mistakes catalog, but for the first time, he steps from the shadows and stars in his own EP of groovin', good time lovin' acid house jams. Get up in here.

Lost Lake's two originals on this EP, Sea Spine, and Jar Clock, are a couple of classic acid house jams with a modern flare, making them must have for the future retro dance floors of today. When you're living in the future, you want the music to match your cyberpunk bacchanalia of a life, and Lost Lake is the soundtrack for those nights of sweaty abandon.

Jr Gacworth's dubby techno remix of Sea Spine brings a stripped down, slow rolling groove to the original. Playful, and bouncy, pull this one out when it's time to bring a tail shake and a smile to the party. And finally, Stuck at Sea's remix of Dose Lobby is a slow building hypno-jam, for psychedelic dance floors in outer space. A relentless climb up an acid mountain, built for heady afterhours parties in the upper atmosphere.

Another well rounded weapon for the record bag from Make Mistakes. Lost Lake delivers one of our most diverse vinyl EPs to date. Get these sweet jams in your ears, in your crate, to the party, and shake those hams, yo.

Phillipi & Rodrigo's 'Paciencia' (DEEWEE033) is the next taste of the Brazilian duo's debut longplayer, recorded, produced and mixed at Studio DEEWEE in Gent. Boasting songs about the cosmos, relationships, nostalgia and signs of the Zodiac, the album, also called 'Paciencia', will drop early next year on DEEWEE.

Released 9 November on all formats, 'Paciencia' (single) is 5 minutes of hypnotic Balearic goodness, chattering synths and a floor-skimming groove. Wrought by the hands of the Dewaele brothers, the transatlantic DEEWEEDUB sports a cunning percussive build-up before shedding its skin and heading straight for the heart of the dancefloor.

'Paciencia' follows Phillipi & Rodrigo's two previous DEEWEE singles, 'Mantra'/'New Beach' (DEEWEE017), and 'Karma'/'Gueto De Gent' (DEEWEE010).

New project by Kai Alcé and Stefan Ringer New York, Detroit, Atlanta...

Mihai Popescu kicks off a new label, Steppin' Motion Records, with two of his own brilliant tracks. The Romanian artist has been a key part of the scene since 2012, releasing on labels like Soulsity, RORA and Bass Culture. He has a slick electronic sound that is here for all to here on these two new cuts. Steppin' Motion is a record label based in Paris and managed by Swoop. It aims to promote music as an Art, as something beautiful that gets your body and soul in Motion. This first Ep is in two parts, showcasing both sides of the label: the first part is the most dance oriented, whereas the second part will be more soul / beauty oriented. The amazing artwork comes from Vesod, who is an Italian Street-Artist painter from Turin.Selfsuficient is first and is ten minutes of slippery house music with lovely chords and melodies all making for a warm and infectious groove. It is colourful, loose and rhythmic stuff that oozes a futuristic sense of soul. Neasteptat is deeper, with rubbery drums and woodpecker like sounds all weaving round each other to cast a spell on those who hear it. These are two terrific tracks that connoisseurs of minimal house are going to lap up.

The 1990's was an incredible decade for Techno - especially if you bought the releases being pressed and then shipped globally on a weekly basis out of Birmingham in the UK. Simple Elements "9.2%" originally came out on Ideal Trax in 1997 and over the years has become a holy grail among underground DJ`s and record collectors.

Nicky B, the artist behind the Simple Elements moniker and resident DJ from long running Techno mecca, The House Of God, has decided to re:release the original double pack on his new label, Prisoner Of Sound Records.

This double pack is a collection of the first tracks Nicky ever wrote and is an insightful glimpse into the mind of an artist drawing upon a pool of influences, taking in Jazz, Funk, Soul, Electro, Chicago House and Detroit Techno.
You can listen to the influences at work throughout the six tracks, transporting your senses off world, into the deep realms and forgotten worlds of a vintage future.

Minor Planet Music's fourth release by SUKAZ. Where thought and concept are intertwined with light and sound Where cosmic shudders become Music. Where categories are obsolete and there is only impression.

Soulab 2012 : Keep your funk alive !

Freamon is a denizen of the modern world, allegedly hailing from NY, according to some, not relevant, says he. What matters is the music - finely honed and carefully crafted dancefloor gems, served up with love the way they used to be, the way they ought to be.

The Hot Damn! EP is his second release on the mysterious Turbocapitalism label, after 2016's Black Grid EP. This time, he has decided to shine a spine-tingling light on our souls. He wants you to raise your hands and put them together in an overdose of holy joy on this unashamedly celebratory slab of sweet gospel grooving. Can you feel the spirit One listen to 'No More Crying' will settle any doubts on the subject. It's gospel-funk. Or gospel-not-gospel, which is like a million samples taken from every soul record you never heard, seamlessly stitched together as if created fresh today, with one idea - to meld together into one big explosion of spine-tingling dance floor joy!

The title track takes things down a notch with a heavy kick drum shuffle - stripped back analogue house, making for an intoxicating, dense brew of sounds, feelings and ideas. Fierce, pulsating free jazz sounds, snaking around that deliciously tense, bustling bottom end, creating an infectious groove that is fresh, different and most of all, impossible to resist.

Meanwhile, Madrid's DJF and Damian Schwartz do what they do best: they take that thing straight to the centre of Detroit, let it adjust to the new environment and then freely cruise the boulevards at night.

Hijacked Records Detroit Is Feeling Inspired After Hearing New Work From One Of Our Favourite Allies In Techno, Jules Wells. We Felt It Was Our Duty To Deliver This To The People, Three New Productions From Jules With A Guest Remix From Our Own Antwon Faulkner. Please Enjoy - "silent Orchestra."

The Title Track From Jules Really Set The Bar For This Release. Jules Really Understands Story Telling With Music And This Track Transports You To A Time In Techno That Was Both Hopeful And Beautifully Heart Breaking. A Persistent Chord Progression Is Wrapped In Celestial Synth Harmonies Filing Up The Space All Around You And Reaching In. That Classic Clap Is Underpinned With A Touch Of Acid, Creating An Edge. At The 4:33 Mark An Enchanting And Haunting Sign Wave Tells A Melodic Tragedy. Strings Come In Delicately But Wash Over You Completely. This Track Is Both Stunning And Devastating.

Next Up We Have A Remix Of The Title Track From Antwon Faulkner, "silent Orchestra - More Life Remix." Antwon Goes With More Of A Dance Insistent Beat But Uses Many Of The Original Parts Juxtaposed A Little Differently, Pitched Up And Sped Up Slightly. Antwon Drops A Hint Of Sinister In His Vocal Sample But Maintains The Uplifting Positivity Of The Original. These Are Both Great Versions.

We Then Have Another Original Piece From Jules Wells Titled "external." Opening With Almost Tribal Reminiscent Drum Pattern, A Dark And Cloudy Bass End Starts Filling Up The Dark Corners Of Your Mind Before Light Enters - Coaxing You To Come Along. Prominent String Work Takes Centre Stage From 2:15 Throughout. It Is Arresting And Analeptic.

We Close Out This Release With Another Original From Jules Wells Called "electronic Computer." This Track Is Straight Late 80's / Early 90's Electro With Today's Sophisticated And Matured Production Techniques, "electronic Computer" Is Taking That Original Electro We Know And Love And Elevating It. Of Course, There Is A Funky, Kind Of Defiant Attitude To This Track But It's No Less Emotionally Profound. This Is A Complex Story Of The Future But Will Sound And Feel Familiar From Your Come Up.

Jules' Work Is Beautiful And We Are Proud To Help Keep Raising The Bar On What We Can And What We Should Expect From Quality Music - 100% Original / 100% Heart. Trust Us - It Matters.

"Colorfully favored by Âme, Acid Pauli, Rainer Trueby, P.Toile, Berk Offset, Richie Hawtin, Andre Langenfeld, Agoria and - your nice neighbour, for sure!'

Club U Nite Records, founded in 1996 by Mellow Man (Peppermint Jam, Shelter) is back on wax! After 18 years the new E.P. 'Manhattan Project - Back 2 Basics' will be released on the Deep House label exclusively at vinylfuture distribution. 'Down On Me' opens the journey back to the golden age of Housemusic with two slammin' mixes. A previously unreleased track from the 1990's DAT archive puts you in a 'Jazzy Mood' and starts the B-side of the E.P., which ends with 'Somewhere' deep, jazzy and minimal.

On this new release on P.O.D Cross, production and Dj duo Politics Of Dancing (S.M.A.L.L & Paco) teams up with another duo, Berlin's Cab Drivers on the A Side and Watergate resident and Scenario label boss Sebo K on the B side, to produce 2 dance floor friendly cuts. Berlin meets Paris.

Last year Apollonia dropped their debut album 'Tour à Tour', a collection of tracks that represented their all night long b2b2b sessions. Now the boys proudly present the remixes! Dan Ghenacia, Dyed Soundorom and Shonky have carefully curated a selection of remixers from their closely-knit group of talented friends within the underground scene to create an album of exquisite reinterpretations. Each of the artists who've contributed to the album of reworks has a personal connection to the crew; members of the Lola ED family, friends from foreign lands, French comrades... they're all here and they've all put their own fresh twist on Apollonia's original works. An old hand brings a totally invigorating energy to the heartfelt 'June' as Charles Webster injects his experience into transforming the track into a light, leftfield-leaning soundscape. His rework takes us into dreamland, with smooth washes of synth and tinkling percussion giving it a slight tribal feel. 'Mouche Tsé Tsé' gets not one but two remixes; Hold Youth (Le Loup and Seuil) give it a sleazy, electro lick with a winding bassline and naïve, 8-bit esque FX for those hazy after-hours gatherings. Meanwhile, Thomas Melchior takes thing a little left of centre with his abstract rework full of odd sounds and clattering drums. Two very different versions, but both equally high-quality. Fellow Parisian Terence:Terry: aims straight for the dance floor with his mesmerising mix of 'Sona'. A groove-led production, it relies on a hefty bassline together with crisp percussion and a heady set of pads that will transport you to a higher plain. New York legend Jovonn, a previous contributor to the label and an inspiration to Apollonia, also lends his talents to reconfiguring 'Sona'.

After the huge success of the first release, Cinthie and The Willers Brothers team up for the second one with some pure dancefloor cuts ranging between dubby techno, house and groovy minimal house.

Harvey Sutherland returns today with new single 'Amethyst', a jazz-leaning broken beat odyssey born out of sessions with London-based saxophonist Nubya Garcia and drummer Kahlil Memphis. Harvey Sutherland has also been confirmed to open for Little Dragon at Printworks this November, in addition to lining up an intimate headline show of his own at X on X. 'Amethyst' is the first half of a double-A-side single; along with the second track to follow soon, it will be released on a limited edition 12-inch vinyl later this year.

'Amethyst' is the next step in an already-unpredictable career from Harvey Sutherland, a producer, DJ and funk synthesist from Melbourne. After steadily making a name for himself amongst Australia's bubbling electronic underground, Mike Katz began to make international waves in 2013 with a series of successful 12' records under his nom de plume. Blending a broad array of crate-digging influences, his initial EPs have already been championed by international tastemakers like Gilles Peterson, Jamie xx, Disclosure, The Black Madonna and Pete Tong. Sold-out shows with his impeccable live band followed around the world - including Glastonbury Festival, London's Jazz Cafe and Corsica Studios - alongside some unique side-projects: Harvey recently performed an original cinematic disco suite alongside the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, as well as directing an east coast Australian tour with an 11-piece band in support of New York disco icon Leroy Burgess.

From the time Harvey Sutherland began making music, he was influenced by dance music, but not comfortable inside its rules. Still rooted in soul, disco and funk, the modern techno universe was not exactly where he fit - and so (as he continues to today on 'Amethyst') Harvey instead sought to create a world of his own. 'Looking for songs in strange places', as he says, but in ways only Harvey Sutherland knows how to look.

Part one of this exploration proved to be 'Amethyst', a transcontinental collaboration with two musicians also at the peak of their scene: London-based saxophonist Nubya Garcia and drummer Kahlil Memphis. Garcia has earned acclaim for her expressive style of playing, which has afrobeat, hip-hop and grime influences seeped into its bones rather than worn like a badge. Memphis, meanwhile, glides through complex rhytms with ease, their edges roughened up by a sensibility lifted from London's pirate radio, around which Harvey Sutherland's cosmic synths and strings orbit.

'I wanted something that had a jazz feel and lightness that was still really informed by the London broken beat scene,' says Mike now. That it's jazz is secondary - what's exciting for Katz is exploring the 'exciting, ephemeral' sensation of 'interplay, the sound of people playing together.' And whilst 'Amethyst' might signal a more experimental evolution in Harvey Sutherland's sound, you also sense his desire to bring players, sounds and global scenes together into something exciting and new is only just getting started.

Another piece of the story of the Italian scene of the 90's inevitably returns to shine on Flash Forward. Leo Anibaldi was one of the pioneers of the sounds that so influenced and characterized those years. Deep, Techno and House blend to create unique atmospheres that will never die! Big Reissue.

Stick on the A-side of Lerosa's first release on Lisbon's Assemble Music and you'll be transported back to the 90s heyday of Clear, Phono and Environ: HARKONNEN echoes the bubbly arpeggios and frenetic percussion of vintage Morgan Geist, while SONG FOR D has that laid-back Herbert swagger, albeit with a classic Lerosa sound palette. In fact, you can reference-spot all you will, but listen to the A-side and you'll find the happy-sad chords and deft arrangements at play in both ALICE and CARER are 100-proof Lerosa. So put the history books down and drift off, without quite knowing whether it's the lazy afternoon before the party or the hazy morning after, as the sun filters softly through the blinds.

Bass Cadet Records is excited to introduce its new series : Orbits. Originally established in 2012, the label also stands a little vinyl corner on Weserstrasse since june 2013, right in the middle of the always bubbling neighborhood of Berlin-Neukölln. Curated from the recordstore, the series is dedicated to the artists who support it and make its life. Orbits will start with a re-issue of two Ron Trent timeless jams bringing them the vinyl format for the first time. As always, Ron Trent masters the underground art of deep, bringing the vibe to a next level of craft...

The third release on Dreamers Recordings comes courtesy from the legendary US producer Brian Cavender aka Seafoam.

Cavender has released music since the end of the 90's on esteemed labels such as Guidance Recordings. The Earth Time EP sees the producer summon up three house bombs (incl. the special repress of 'Chatter' from 2002) of great dexterity with each one boasting its own unique, dancefloor vibe.

Eagerly awaited follow up to the first release, Tolga Fidan strikes back with 4 spacey tracks cleverly balancing electro, techno and house flavours with its trademark deep melodic signature.

Santa Clarita daydreamer Daniel Crook flipped his DX-7 to dent tuition at California Institute Of The Arts but while there fell in with a crew of fellow hardware heads and began making periodic pilgrimages downtown to soak the city's thriving warehouse scene. His own productions soon followed, inspired by the moodier fringes of LA's nocturnal underground as well as the 'dark gothic energy' of certain fatalist new wave.

Genesis spans 40 minutes across eight tracks, crisscrossing stained glass house, lovesick jack, and varied states of rhythm delirium into a raw, reflective self-portrait of empty streets and midnight memories. Crook's process is part planned and part exploratory, mapping melody in advance then ripping live takes at a table of synths in his bedroom. From cobwebbed dub-dance ('Serpent') to cyber-mechanical disco ('Move'), the songs feel intuitive and imprecise, grainy screengrabs of systems in flux.

Most are solo instrumentals but Crook's classmate Bludwork guests on the sci-fi sequencer trance 'Infrared' while local morbid beauty duo Morticia My Angel haunt the mic for 'Words Unspoken.' Even his own voice makes an appearance on 'Own Perceptions,' mixed into a glimmering grey haze, pulsing and poignant: 'I don't know what to do with me / no more.'

Morning is ready to break. Daytime heat lingers. Would-be revellers trawl the streets, hoping beyond hope to keep the night alive. Cutting through the stifling night air come two words, Furor Exotica. Six tracks spiral down this 12' of lurid intent. Keys are honeyed, dripping in funk, and further sweetened by a siren's call. Vocals tantalise, tease and trap while smoke swirls and heads swim. Three suitors are lured in, enraptured by those glazed words, addicted to the hooks and promises of Furor Exotica. Alan Dente amplifies the analogue warmth of this back alley den while Fabrizio Mammarella pays homage with an acid tinge to coarsen the temptress' taunt. Trujillo brings some relief, letting in some laid back tones and clean beats to bring up the lights on this late night haunt of ill-repute.

Rocksteady Disco drops Águas de Setembro by Igor B as the soundtrack for the northern hemisphere's transition from summer to autumn. Marking Igor's debut release, he carefully reimagines and reworks two latin jazz / música popular brasileira classics into modern dance anthems. On the A side holds 'Ponteio', a bittersweet house cut, that eventually opens up into an bubbly ecstatic dance piece. AA brings 'Cisco Dois', a sub bass and percussion heavy track with a brilliantly heavy breakdown to turn the dancefloor out. Toronto's Igor B is the next producer to be a part of Rocksteady Disco's pattern of artist breaking, and his debut release welcomes him into the Rocksteady Disco family in timeless fine style.

Lazare Hoche & Traumer are teaming up for an exclusive record on LHR. Brace yourself.

Contrary to the songs name, this interpretation of a traditional Afro-Brasilian candomble song, appears to be forged from mythical lost amazonian gold.
Recorded in Sao Paulo with an allstar cast of Arteria FM (on vocal duties), Salvador Araguaya (caressing the Viola Caipira) & Spaniol (stroking the Baixo), steered by Nicola's production prowess, this quartet delivers a melodic enhancement to the summer sun.

As if the sun wasn't shining bright enough already, the single comes backed by a remarkable remixer ensemble procured from their duties as fellow sun-worshippers:
Xique-Xique's Dragonfruit Mix is a wondrous journey full of surprising leaps and bounds, alternating between hypnotic electronics and organic song structure.
Saving the best 'til last he raises the energy whilst keep the beats low and the vibes ecstatic. HIT !
Crussen's creamy cocodub raises the energy whilst concentrating on a dubbed out groove, (that) classic Crussen bassline and carefully sliced & re-appropriated vocals.
Finally in-house poster-boy Carrot Green's Granola mix combines disco, deep grainy bassines, juicy bells and signature flourishes into a bowl of magical mind-whirling hip-spinning edible sex.

For its next release, No.19 Music welcomes one of dance music's most celebrated contemporary artists in Ryan Crosson for a new single coming on vinyl and digital.

Crosson is a true techno tastemaker who hails from Detroit. He's released on long established labels like Minus, as well as going on to form Visionquest with Seth Troxler, Shaun Reeves and Lee Curtis, and the label of the same name where he also put out key EPs and LPs with Merveille. From headline sets at festivals round the world via club gigs at the most tasteful venues in the scene, he is a real giant of underground dance music with studio skills to match, as this standout three tracker proves.

Superb opener 'Comet Pills' is a deep and thoughtful track that encourages your mind to wander off into the cosmos. Slick drums and melancholic chords set the tone, while the bass fleshes things out and sci-fi details bring out a cinematic quality.

The brilliantly mysterious 'Roscoe' is expertly stripped back and reduced house music that takes you on a trip. It's quick and smooth, with watery sound design, soft hits and muffled vocals adding intrigue to a track that is both cerebral yet designed to make you move.

Last of all, 'Snake Oil' is another fully realised offering which journeys to the edges of the galaxy, with long lingering ambient pads suspending you in mid-air as squelchy synths and shuffling drums keep one foot on the dance floor.
These are three terrific cuts of seriously atmospheric house and techno.

Cologne's electronic music community keeps on giving, drawing on a dense plethora of fresh talent ready to shake up our little big grassroots industry. The latest ace up the city's sleeve must be Tim Engelhardt, part of a new breed of incredibly versatile young producers that get their cues from all sorts of genres and listening situations, combining profound musical knowledge with intuitive playfulness and multiple perspectives on sound. In Tim's case, we're dealing with a solid pianist background - which becomes rather obvious in the great care he takes over harmonies and an expanded melodic structure. However, that's just one side of the story, as the organic fluidity and atmospheric dexterity of his music most certainly hark back to an upbringing among the rolling hills and sprawling forests of Germany's Westerwald - one of the country's best known mountain ranges that has already inspired artists such as Dominik Eulberg or Gabriel Ananda. Having released your first recordings at the tender age of 14 - as Tim did in 2012 - might put you in a 'wunderkind' category - a flattering, but ultimately risky proposition, finding many a prodigy overwhelmed with the dubious honour. Not so much our hero, who chose to put his skills to work: in only four years, he grew his portfolio with plenty outings on labels such as Traum Schallplatten, WIR, Babiczstyle, Amuse Gueule, Ostwind Records, Popart Music, Playmusic Productions, Parquet Recordings, Manual Music and more - but his breakthrough release was hands-down the 2015 EP 'Everything Is All You Have' on Steve Bug's iconic Poker Flat imprint, followed by 'Enigmatism' on the same label.
