House Vinyl New Releases - News

Klamauk is back and ready to drop their second release of 2017 with their very own Tilman. The German artist brings us his second release on Klamauk and has already turned heads with a string of quality records on Fine, Tenderpark or Quality Vibe Records and this current release is up to his usual high standards channelling deep, sample driven house vibes.

The 4 Track EP kicks of with Work It', a sample driven house track which surely will be a hit on the dancefloor. Sophisticated' uses a lighter touch with a nice percussion rhythm, a funky bassline and an overall happy feeling. Over on the B side we have Moments', a warm and open groover with a nice piano melody. In If I Could See You sometimes' Tilman takes us into deeper fields with lovely chords and a groovy sub bass.

We're still dazed from the 1st volume but Will Long and DJ Sprinkles have already cued up their 2nd session, with Mint / Clay landing on Terre Thaemlitz' Comatonse.
The format and aesthetic remains the same as Vol.1, namely two raw pieces by Will Long, backed with overdubs by Sprinkles, amounting to thee deepest house this side of Larry Heard's nuclear love bunker, all subtly executed and held up as a comparison to the aesthetics and intentions (or, ironically, the excess and lack of) of that sound in relief of current, conceptually-detached takes on the original, queer NYC deep house sound which Sprinkles was instrumental in shaping as a
downtown DJ during that formative era.
Again, Will Long, who's best known for his experimental ambient work as Celer, proves that it ain't what you've got but what you know and can do with it that matters. Under-Currents places
sparing samples of T.R.M. Howard - a mentor of Jesse Jackson and founder of Mississippi's Regional Council of Negro Leadership - amidst a dream sequence of carbonated hi-hats and
lingering chords urged by a plump bass drum, whilst Get In & Stay In nods to civil right activist and current Georgia congressional representative John Lewis in a lush haze of crepuscular chromatics and loping swing.
DJ Sprinkles goes on to contribute another pair of incredible overdubs, lending Long's minimal elements a richer, fleshlier feel, whether with additional breakbeats, or nimbly lowering the bass
and layering up spirited flutes and Rhodes.
Quite crucially, the concept never gets in the way of the music, perfectly demonstrating the symbiotic nature of the music and politics in the way we imagine they intended, especially for the
DJs, dancers and promoters who act as gatekeepers for this music.

We live in an era when 'change' is a soundbite to sell more of the same old ideas, and 'revolution' has more to do with social trends than social change.
Will Long's deep house debut on Terre Thaemlitz's Comatonse Recordings examines that pack of lies dubbed 'change' from the sweaty dancefloor, sounding the aftermath of failure around attempts at equality in 'progressive' societies.
Made with a simple setup of rhythm composer percussion, polyphonic synth chords, and rack sampler vocals, these tracks have a minimal rawness that contends we've been wrong the whole time about how far the US - and the world - has come.
Although they are sonically unlike anything Long has produced as Celer or his other aliases for minimal and ambient experiemental audio, they share a stripped-yet-full sound that reacts against overproduction - within the dance music industry, and societies at large.
DJ Sprinkles' overdubbed contributions quite literally and psycho-acoustically resonate that intention, tactfully rending a farther, lush physicality and soulfulness thru deftly applied daubs of glutinous subbass pressure, airy strings and subtly shimmering FX, really bringing Long's trax to life in a whole other dimension, and via disciplined, stripped-down, full-bodied production values that rank as perhaps the deepest productions yet in the Sprinkles' canon,
They could be taken as a call for humbleness and meditative efficiency over cliched buildups and preening vanities, perhaps a comment on 'deep' house as the equivalent of a fresh tattoo or sweatshop t-shirt slogan. Because, you know, it really does stand for a lot more.

Native Stockholmer and acid-fiend Your Planet is Next turns in a playful and charming EP for Klasse Wrecks. A close friend of the label and also recent Grafiti Tapes alumni, YPIN provides 4 trax of wildly different flavours ranging from the messy 303 wiggle homage on 'Thunderdome' to the epic rave hardware jam of 'Rave2dagrave'. Something for all the freaks contained within!!

Making his first appearance on the label, Argy lays down a three-part heavyweight production for Crosstown Rebels this October. The Greek producer effortlessly showcases his unique style and ability to create music that is sure to create heat on the dance floor.

Title track Worthless opens up the EP with a bouncy groove and sensual, breathy male vocal. Next, La Vida introduces a more percussive-led beat, creating an industrial soundscape. Get Ready closes the EP with its darkly hypnotic beat, lending itself to a more tribal aesthetic.

The word 'diverse' is most definitely one that can be used to describe Argy. Having been in the game for more than a decade, he's released music on Poker Flat, Cocoon, Objektivity, Desolat and Cuttin' Headz. He's worked alongside a range of key figures in the industry including Kerri Chandler and Manuel Göttsching. Argy has proved his prowess as a DJ holding down residencies at Amnesia, Space, Destino and Pacha as well as regular appearances at Berlin's Panorama Bar.

MOTHER072
Having been named BEATPORT ´S #2 HOUSE label of 2018!

MOTHER RECORDINGS continue their hugely successful run of form with a stellar collaborative project which sees NHAN SOLO, label head of Mother, join forces with Chicago legend ROBERT OWENS. Owens' back catalogue is nostalgia at its best, with the likes of the late Franky Knuckles' 'Tears' certainly a standout release in the House music history books. Following this release Owens certainly sits well within the Mother family and what is one of the hottest House labels our there today.

'EVERYTHING' is a baseline driven house track set to cause series damage on the dance floor, with the stateside vocal providing a catchy hook throughout its entirety. Reverberating throughout the break down section Owens' vocal sits with ease around the classic Mother sound of infectious hats and driving bass, coming together for an impressive House production.

On the flip comes the Dub Version for when the night gets that bit darker.

Early support from: SETH TROXLER, DANNY HOWARD, RICHY AHMED, DANNY TENAGLIA, ARTBAT, AUDIOJACK, THE MEKANISM, PIRUPA, PAUL C & PAOLA MARTINI and many more.

MOTHER073
Berlin House duo, MAT.JOE are called up for another MOTHER reunion, this time returning to one of the hottest house labels out there with a two track heater of an EP, 'Sunshine'.

'Sunshine' will no doubt be leaving the dancefloors steaming, pitting together an array of percussive house beats, funky interludes and energetic vocal howls against their signature drops of thunderous basslines.

'What You Want' is most definitely the cheekier of the two, mixing up a teasing range of funky pads, cheeky guitar riffs and seductive vocal whispers to finally come together and ignite the room through their tasty bassline drops.

JAMIE JONES - sounds cool!
DJ SNEAK - cool stuff
FRANKY RIZARDO -Dope boys!
RICHY AHMED - wkd
HECTOR - good flow! love it!!
LATMUN - This is gonna be great in Miami!

There is no stopping Meggy at the moment. With 'TIMES' and 'WELCOME TO THE V', the Berlin born DJ, producer and vocalist has already delivered two top notch EPs on Suol in 2018 and here she is back again already with a third. Sporting four tracks, the 'FLOWERS EP' once again showcases not only Meggy's production prowess but also the unmistakable vocal style and songwriting abilities which have earned her so many high level feature appearances throughout her career.

The title track revolves around a hypnotically modulating analogue synth riff and drum patterns that point urgently towards the dance floor. Meggy speaks to us through chords that have an almost ravey feel to them. With its clever arrangement this track is clearly hands-in-the-air material.

'VERY MOMENTS' starts with only an electrically charged synth and organ combo and a classic Meggy vocal.

Levitar Recordings is an Argentinian label based in Buenos Aires. We love funk, jazz and soul mixed with house music, and this second V.A. contains all. A journey through Nicolas Meyer jazzy keys, funk and analog Joss Moog groove, Soul with the classic sound of BsAs Deep, and the funk N soul fussion from Fabrizzio and Rubents track.

All tracks has the typical sound we are looking for the label. Music made with passion.

The mighty Casey is up to bat once again for Love Notes from Brooklyn. This time, though, it's a more complete three track artist EP on offer. The music, of course, encapsulates everything that's great about Casey's sound: the lush pads, the crispy percussion, the emotional strings, and the dance-floor destroying basslines. Alternative Faction utilizes one such dancefloor destroying bassline to create a real fist pumping moment in the title track; That Time of Year uses a wriggly acid synth line over the aforementioned emotional strings, and to great effect; and New Mission ends the EP in a unwavering fashion; with heartstring-tugging, terk jerking, emotional pads over an acid line in signature Casey Tucker fashion. Dare we say yet another classic both artist and label's catalog

"Listen to me! Everything is going to be alright. Let the beat control your body!" Desperate times calls for desperate music and this thumping number from Coral D is sure to get you through to the other side. With rave samples and 90s references we're taken back to the future and never want to leave again!

The French deep house master, Franck Roger, continues the string of outstanding releases on his Earthrumental series with this double a-sided bomb

The 4th release of HIROAKI SASAKI's Yotsume-Music is titled "Awakened EP".Yotsume-Music wakes and welcomes Hisashi Ito aka Hulot (Raum...musik, BELOW, FROGMAN/U.S.B.) .The style of Hulot's sound is influenced by by Herbert and Moritz von Oswald.He provides us with 3 tracks.Its sound is minimal techno/minimal house/tech house.

After the release of the Keytronics Ensemble EP on Royal Oaks, Francesco "Kekko" Montefiori is proud to announce the first release on his own imprint Kaleidofon! Four different house tracks, four different moods, four different grooves.

Analogue Attic Recording's fifth release is a live recording from Melbourne talent Sleep D, recorded under gumtrees at Melbourne's iconic Fairfield Amphitheatre.
Here we see the ambient side of Maryos Syawish, Corey Kikos and guitarist Joe Karakatsanis.The 40 minute album features beautiful, slowly unfurling pieces that caters to the label's gentle aesthetic.

A labour of love and friendship, the Camila EP contains two finely-worked originals. The slow, loping, scratchy 'JnD' is a collaboration with close friend Jürgen von Krebs that brings to mind STL and Theo Parrish in its interlocking simplicity and off-key accents. 'Ricky G. (Soulmate Mix)' is a smoother, more wistful glide, paying tribute to the lady in St. Joseph's life. Finally, Giegling-affiliated dreamer Edward provides his own psychedelic take on 'JnD', twisting the synth line through a battery of live percussion samples and analog bass. Dusty, wonky, raw, musical - words synonymous with the great 3 Chairs, but totally apt for describing St. Joseph's growing discography on Lisbon-based imprint Assemble Music.

The indigenous cause is an urgent one not only in terms of territory but also when it comes to the preservation of the vast Indian culture and Brazilian singer-songwriter Marlui Miranda has been dedicating herself for almost four decades to keep their music alive (she has a doctorate on Indian music, so you know).

In 1995, Marlui released the album 'Ihu: Todos os Sons', a collection of Indian chants she gathered in her field researches and released only in CD through two small labels (one in the US, the other in Brazil). This research started in 1986, funded by the John Simmon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, and it investigated the sounds of different tribes in the Rondônia state, northern Brazil, namely the Suruí, the Makuarap, the Aruá, the Tupari and the Jaboti tribes - the latter being the one identified with the 'Tchori Tchori' chant, which praises a bird called biguá.

The haunting, beautiful melody of 'Tchori Tchori' couldn't get a better companion than the exquisite musical palette of Uakti, one of Brazil's greatest instrumental groups, known for creating their own instruments (you've heard them before in Selva Discos alongside Maria Rita). That's what the listener gets on the A side of this release - the deep sound frequencies of a 45RPM cut, fully remastered, of a song never put on a vinyl record before. On the B side, Brazilian DJ and producer Joutro Mundo (Jonas Rocha's alias), who's also involved in the indigenous cause for a long time, takes us on a journey reworking Marlui's groove with subtlety, extending the chant and adding just the right elements to make it work not only in the dancefloor but also on home/office environments for pure listening pleasure.

'Indian music for itself does not have to compete with any other music genre. It is what it is.' Marlui Miranda.

'Tchori Tchori' marks the first volume of the BRASINGLES series, a new series on Selva Discos dedicated to releasing loud 12' singles with the original song on the A side and a rework on the B side, to please both the DJ and the listener.

Big release from the master of Italian Deep House!

The four tracks and the interlude represent the personality of Louis Dauvergne: original, a bit
messy, but always with the idea to find the new era of jazz-fusion. The drums and the funky
spirit tracks, create a solid EP. This record is a tribute to GTA Vice City.

Nirosta Steel is a sometime alias of Steven Hall. Musician and survivor of the `80s NYC`s art melting pot. Everybody Sing dances like Steven`s long-term collaborator and lost-way-too-early friend, Arthur Russell. As he forced irresistible, idiosyncratic, Disco-Not-Disco, out of the Ingram Brothers. Riding low rumbling bass. Phased guitar, country picking, flickering in and out of the mix. Strings, choir boy falsetto, and blue yodel, cutting through its delay-drenched, dance floor delirium.

L.A.`s Cole Medina delivers two reworks. His Heavy Disco take is intro`d by cowbell and synth swirls. Cymbals crashing like sampled surf. With Stratocaster microtones, and echoes of the original, washing over an electronically, re-imagined B-line and trip-py sequences.

Cole`s Knuckles Tribute sets poignant piano and gated orchestral euphoria against a classic Def Mix groove. Revealing the song in epiphany. Clarifying the lyric`s call for unity. Where singing your troubles away is a analogy for strength in adversity. Everybody hurts sometimes. In that, we are united. Eventually heading towards its own disorientating climax. Comin` at ya from all sides.

Mind Fair`s version goes in for some tribal thumping. Stripping the track down, before building it back up. Its big kick blowing bins like a hyped heart pumping within a giant's chest. Chicken scratches dropping in between its colossal 'lub dub', and Coati Mundi-meets-Jah Wobble-like Punk Funk..

Hot off the heels of CDH005 by DJ Lettuce, French imprint Chineurs de House releases Chabha Dassin Hakku, an EP by established Swiss producer Pascal Viscardi.

LA HESS

The EP opens with this engaging tune. It is driven by the sequence of warm and thick TB-303 bassline and drum machine programming reminiscent of Chicago jakbeat. In addition to lush pads, the producer uses dreamy wind instrument sounds as well as arpeggios of a cosmic persuasion. The result is deep and dance-inducing at the same time, and this tune is an efficient but far from simplistic dancefloor weapon.

Tizi Ouzou

Here's another journey of a track, with an elegant sound design that is reminiscent of soft focus in video, where Viscardi shows his impressive production skills. With the raw pulse of the rhythmic section coupled with vintage synth programming, bodies are put in motion. With oriental-sounding melodies, deep chords and hand percussion samples, the mind loses itself. Geared for the dancefloor but almost experimental, this is a very special track waiting to be unleashed by DJs who dare to be different.

Maladie d'Amour

It is impossible to sit still while listening to this track, a slice of robust deep house with a clear African influence. It is built around a highly compelling beat, with a variety of samples, male vocals and dizzying pads. Viscardi reminds us that less is more and he manages to create a classy and floaty tune that is nonetheless geared for the dancefloor.

Village Numérique

This track is a downtempo gem. It's a soulful affair at the crossroads of the Balearic and afro worlds. Percussion sounds, marimba melodies, vintage electric keyboard chords, a plodding bassline, sound FX and spoken word are masterfully combined by Viscardi to close the EP in style with this slow-burning tune.

finally repressed

Back in February 2013, shortly after their impressive first release as a label, Music Is Love launched a double VA entitled Lovebox: an 8 track double-vinyl release that included tracks from 8 talented up-and-coming producers on their roster. By innovatively previewing the producers in this way, the label laid the foundations for what listeners could expect for each artists' subsequent EPs. The artists who released on it were not hyped up flavours of the month, but rather emerging talents who sat perfectly with the label's musical ethos - quality and original underground house with a contemporary, dynamic feel. Since the VA, the label have gone from strength to strength and have firmly established themselves as one of the most brightest house labels around in the UK.

Just over a year later and following in the success of its predecessor, MIL return with their second VA and with that, a chance for listeners to hear the new additions they've acquired, in addition to some already known faces. Liam Geddes opens proceedings with Untitled. A deep sense of soul permeates the whole track as a rumbling baseline imbues the beat with an ever-present sense of groove that never lets the head stop nodding. Geddes has really fine tuned and matured his sound over the past year, and this track is further evidence of his quality as a producer. The subtle percussive rhythms, electronic bleeps and synth nuances give this track a natural flow, as Geddes conjures something altogether more hypnotic, dark and purposeful.
Mr.KS, one of the newcomers to the label, outlines his coolly crafted style with track (Music) Makes Me Stronger. Brittle drums and deep warped synths suck you in and out and shape the structure of the beat, while afflicted chord patterns combine with the hypnotic repetition of a vocal sample to give the track a gesture towards techno but with a flow that pulls in house elements. Cassio Kohl introducers himself with a warm, melodic house number; rumbling synths circulate in the background of the track while ticking hi-hats and snares play off against the sumptuous vocal sample, which builds and falls back nicely into its original path until electronic glitches sporadically ease in and move the beat forward.

Jamie Trench has been making some serious headway of late and his track I Want You with Rebel serves a timely reminder of a producer on top form. A heavy, rolling baseline resonates intently, building against murky vocal samples, shuffling snares and off-beat key stabs that grow in presence and intensity - a track that will no doubt prove a high point in any DJ set. Label boss Oli Furness has a raw knack for creating crisp, heavy sounds and Take Monday Off remains on a similar path, albeit the beauty lies in the subtlety of arrangements rather than bigger hitting sounds. Chopped shimmying keys tease, filter and build fluently with urgent hi-hats and swinging drums that flourish harmoniously together, while an understated baseline adds weight and rhythmic groove typically inherent in Furness' work.

Italian heavyweight Tuccillo has released on some of the most reputable labels on the circuit - releases for 20:20 Vision and Freerange is evidence enough of his provenance - and this time he brings his baleric house sound with the impeccable sounds of DubFlanged Gru. Shimmering percussion shakes meander against the bumping bassline while the endearing, muffled vocals that threaten to break out are superseded by breeze-block keys that filter and descend into a chattering groove. Dutch producer U Know The Drill brings things back into heavier house territory with a no-nonsense, stripped-back stomper, the type of track we've been used to hearing on Dutch affiliates New Jack City's material. Heavy snares kick with a punch, and the deep drone-like vocal swings against the wobbling baseline and tapestry of electronic bleeps. Other sampled vocals and glitches weave in with the juxtaposing elements playing off one another to huge effect, ensuring that sheer energy pervades the track.

Jackson Ryland rounds off the heavy 8 track VA - scattering hi-hats and swirling pads build, while the shuffling drums roll on until fleeting chord flourishes and a musky vocal hook bring the track into wistful nostalgia. The elements of track balance superbly and are propelled forward by the intricate drum arrangements and well-crafted hi-hat/vocal combo.
The difference in approach and outcome from each artist results in yet another highly impressive outcome, with 8 high grade tracks that show another side to Music Is Love. The sounds are tougher and the mood is darker, but the premise of the whole MIL concept remains more apparent than ever with this release: sourcing fresh underground talent, curating original electronic music and evolving artists already on the roster.

A new entry to the catalog this time with the pumping beatz of our Japan made House Maestro Yusuke Yamamoto (Canary Recordings / Minuendo Recordings) for the front side thus proper deep chords and TechHouse feelings compositions for the harder hours of club night dancing suit best for "No Signal" and the vocal anthem driven "Need You Now".
On the Other side we found Nicolas Diez timeless "Amazonia", a soulful dance track encouraged with romantic vocals that soothe our inner being. Last but not least Martin Bellomo (MyHouse YourHouse / Thema / Momentz Records) and Diez Collaboration takes form in the minimal deep tune called "Algorhythm", straight up dub oriented beats with a minimal house timbres.

Swiss production wizard Andrea Oliva returns to Hot Creations this October with a solid three-track EP that oozes a fierce and fiery rhythm.

Title track Upside Down fires up the EP from the off with its growling bassline and elements of glitchy goodness. Piano Not Piano juxtaposes hi-hats against the thud of the industrial bass, adding piano chords and a drop of acid. The EP closes with Sound Like That, a groovy roller with a distorted vocal stab. Discussing the EP, Andrea explains that he wanted to 'have influences of acid, house and techno, supported by solid grooves', also revealing that he is 'very happy to be back on the label with three diverse tracks'.

A mainstay on the White Isle and with appearances at Tomorrowland, Sunwaves, Sonus, Medusa, Kappa Futur and DGTL, Andrea Oliva is one of the industry's most in-demand DJs. In 2016 he was invited by Radio 1's Pete Tong to record a coveted Essential Mix, which was live from Ushuaia. Last year he also made his Boiler Room debut, as well as performing Mixmag's Lab and DJ Mag sessions. He's released on respected imprints such as Desolat, Knee Deep In Sound, Saved, Moon Harbour and Relief and has remixed for a plethora of high-profile artists. Now with this latest Hot Creations release, Oliva's career shows no sign of slowing down.

The fourth instalment on DGTL Records is an EP by Satori, who delivers a record with three tracks that all bear his signature sound. This will be the first EP he releases after Maktub, his well-received album on Crosstown Rebels. Compared to the album, the EP is more dance floor orientated and thus right in time for the summer festival season.

Satori has been part of the DGTL family for a few years already and with this release his connection with the family will become even stronger. Satori is inspired to capture electronic world music, where he combines endless blends of seductive trance and mind-altering earthy tones. This resonates through all his music and even more so through this release.

The first track on the a-side is Fauna, an organic, melody driven arrangement with mesmerizing vocals and playful synths. This combination of layers gives the track an almost hypnotizing effect. The second one is called Yam, which makes it the title track for this EP. It's an homage to an identical named festival in Mexico, hosted by a dear friend of Satori. It's like a soundtrack for the festival, seen through Satori his eyes, something with which he could close the party. Containing several layered atmospheric harmonies and a more present bassline, the track has a grandeur vibe that can easily be pictured as a great festival closer.

The b-side contains a remix of a track by the French producer Sahalé, who actually sent Satori a message online asking for the possibility of working together. He sent him the track Magharibi, which has been a humble internet sensation. Satori made a version that has been a key element in his live sets ever since. It keeps all the interesting elements of the original, but twists the bassline and the arrangement, while adding a few smaller soundscapes. Tried and tested on the road, it's now ready for a release.

thatmanmonkz graces Classic with his psychedelically grooving 'Ooh Wee' on 12', this time enlisting SoulPhiction and Norm Talley on remixing duties. Remaining true to his Detroit house and 90s boom bap influences, the title track holds a soft analogue crackle and bass loops tied together with delicate keys and soul vocals by Nikki-O. SoulPhiction's Nervös Mix is a production in two parts, leading with synth lines on deep and intense keys then ascending into disco glory. Detroit DJ Norm Talley takes a classic house approach with piano riffs and sharp hi-hats, adding another edge of genuine old skool sound to this release.
