For this second release, the hedZup crew invite the hot and prolific producer Carlos Sanchez in collab with Wlad and Damien Badey for an hypnotic groove named "Strong".

Two solid remixes on this release : Politics Of Dancing pushed the track to a higher level of efficiency and John Jastszebski applied his raw techno touch.

As an extra tool, the 2 heads thinking from hedzup, Wlad and Mancini for their first collab created an aerian and groovy track "12th"."

NorthSouth Records are back with their second release again bringing two young, up and coming producers into the fray. On the North Side is Berlin based Bristolian Christian Jay, with a few releases under his belt up to now, this man has been making some wicked music of late and as soon as we first heard these two tracks we knew we had to release them. The South Side is taken up by a friend from Essex, Bilal. Impressing us with his productions for some time now behind closed doors we felt that now is definitely the right time to show off this young mans talents to the world.

There's nobody that understands The Horror better than.

DJ Dan has been a pinnacle of the dance music scene in America since the early 90s and has toured around the world with the likes of Carl Cox, DJ Sneak and Pete Tong to name a few. Dan's label imprint InStereo is played by many top DJs around the world and Dan has chosen some of his strongest releases for Vol. 1 of the Slammin Trax series.

Marbert Rocel's cosy sound is perfect for sunny hours or those before.

OA's time-slipping journey into classic/future-gazing electronics continues with the arrival of Marvis Dee. This new 12" is in fact the brainchild of Jeremiah R, the Dutch electro maverick who kicked off the label back in 2013 with The New Wave, and who has since gone on to respected outposts such as Tabernacle, Enklav. and BAKK. As Marvis Dee he's been equally busy over the past two years, with a spin on deep Chicago house that should strike a chord with fans of Larry Heard et al.

On the Alpha EP, Marvis Dee has ample space to explore the boundaries of his sound across six original productions that strike a unique, curious chord even as they display the comforting hallmarks of hardware house music. With jacking 707 drums, punchy basslines, tumbling toms and soaring pads notes with sweet-natured harmonic. This is not house music to spell out how you should be feeling.

Orgue Electronique is the perfect match for the woozy tones of Marvis Dee, and so the Dutch mainstay takes to "I Can See It In My Dreams" and delivers a powerful revision to the original production. It's a respectful approach to the remix tradition that aligns with the overall ethos of the Alpha EP.
To complement Dee's homage to the spirit of Chi-town beatdowns, the record comes housed in a jacket indebted to the iconic designs of early house music, continuing OA's fine tradition of on-point, concept-led visuals.

In a much anticipated return, one of the scene's most esteemed producers Davide Squillace is back with a ten track album. To be released on Crosstown Rebels this March, Once Upon A Time In Napoli provides an eclectic range of both hard-hitting and introspective productions. This release paves the way for an exciting year ahead with several more releases in the pipeline.

Prepare to be immediately drawn into the album with effervescent opening track, The Boogie Man. Exploring a range of wooden percussion, Squillace layers up with distant chord synthesis, statement vocal and a sturdy kick. In The Mood For Love follows with an array of drum pad beats developing gradually into an anticipated second drop littered with claps and sitar-esque melodies. Distorted vocals and incredible percussion, provided by Italian drum guru Paki Palmieri, form the basis of Dada Is Back. How We Communicate has an otherworldly feel with gnarled vocals and energetic snares.

''Once upon a Time in Napoli' is the story of my twenty years in dance music. The album covers the many textures of this journey, with influences of the early days in Naples to my Circoloco residency in Ibiza. Ranging from the warmth of classic analogue synths to the crisp precision of digital beats' Davide Squillace

The second half of the album starts off with a solid kick, chock-full of wildlife samples, Noah is a enaging cosmos of indigenous experimentation. The gradual nature of Holy Motors leaves the listener hankering for more and carrying on the lively vibe, Vostok isn't for the fainthearted. Squillace incorporates filthy bass, mad klaxons, cowbells and a whole heap of variety into this exorbitant tune. And finally Napoli Texas, opens with a delicate symbol and floundering bassline. An excellent example of the renowned producer's dancefloor filling production.

Kingswood Drive and Accidental Return were an early teaser of this new set, due in April. Displaying their signature analogue sounds and arpeggios, alongside broken beats and soul, you wouldn't be alone in hearing the influences of Dam Funk, Herbie Hancock or Bugz In The Attic coming through on these two.
Elsewhere more jittery, playful rhythms underpin Croydon Rooftop Café Culture. As well as in the calming and ethereal Prints On The Heath, a subtle tribute to mutual hero Prince, who passed away on the unusually prolific day this and two other, currently unreleased, tracks were written and recorded.Throughout the EP the duo nod at their London home from the "Heath" to Kingswood Drive and more obviously Croydon itself. The sound of South London is threaded throughout this record with pride.
Even down to the mechanical sunset sound of EP finale Thorns, capturing some of the essence of the studio view over London from their high point on the hill in Thornton Heath.
The first EP from Albert's Favourites co-founders and synth-production duo Modified Man focused on throwing out heavy editing, recording music with as few processes as possible and grabbing performances as single takes. Blending warped cassette recordings that touched upon early jazz-funk/brit-funk influences with the energy of broken beat and experimental electronica, won them support from Patrick Forge, Osunlade, Thris Tian, Yam Who and Titeknots to name a few.
Since that release they premiered new track Thorns live on Boiler Room, going on to deliver a full, three-hour live performance and DJ set for the infamous global community.They also provided remixes for Dele Sosimi, Amp Fiddler, Makadem & Behr and Hector Plimmer, meanwhile, busily preparing a series of four, six-track vinyl EPs which will be released over the next 18 months.

Audiotrophe Ernaehrung kicks of his vinyl debut on Wout Records with a massive 4 tracker EP.
"Greifswalder", "Structure" and "Defects" are full of dubby basslines, melodic synth abstractions, rotating percussions, vocal snippets and endlessly moving sound effects, a clear musical reflection of Berlin's electronic music scene and a demonstration of AE's ability to present diversity.
This EP ends up with a raw, straight forward and deeply driven remix of "Greifswalder" produced by the Italian collaboration Mood_Out and Dinkis.

First release of 2018 for Twig, the sublabel of seekers, this time a various artists.

In our series of related incidents we were out searching for a suitable incident to occur after our well received Black Merlin (George Thompson) voyage in early 2014 (it's been a long time, yes).
The following happened.
We approached "Will Flisk'' somewhere in the digital Jungle. Totally unaware that Will and George are actually long time friends.
ALL OF THESE INCIDENTS ARE RELATED.
Havamal inspired Briton 'Will Flisk' takes his filmic approach to music to the streets with his first output on our curious little imprint.
With the help of good friend Black Merlin (George Thompson) on synths and drum machines and Natasya Hodges on Cello, this amazingly orchestrated title track (Red Planet) takes us to different planets and back, even though our money is too short for commercial space travel.
Nashville, Tennessee's very own Grey People (Alex J Michalski) works his distortion on a sinister remix (B1) that's leaning towards the more techno side of things. for the B2, Will bestowed an amazing bit of roughness upon us.
With the blessing of Zoroaster the vinyl release will take place in January.

Hailing from the suburbs of Ghent, Asa Moto are back on DEEWEE with their third EP, this time delivering six radically different pieces of music, providing something for everyone. Dance floor : covered. Kitchen: covered. Hi Fi: check. Car: sorted. EarPod: done. Up to you to find out which one was made for which.

Capofortuna is a duo made up of legendary Bologna-based house maestro, DJ Rame and multi-instrumentalist Ricky Cardelli from Rimini. Perhaps our 'housiest' release to date. Crush On You is an EP of particularly sophisticated forward thinking dance music. With glorious live instrumentation and joyous arrangements this is the kind of record that is going to slip right into many DJ's collections. Don't sleep on this one.

Acclaimed purveyors of magical (classic) World and Soulful grooves, Diephuis & Jephte Guillaume, release their colourful summer Afro jam, 'Baba M'fa Njika' - featuring the electrifying voice of Cameroon's songbird, Barbara Gwanmesia. As you'd come to expect from this duo, 'Baba M'fa Njika' is a musical feast of earthy Afro beats, hypnotic synths, infectious sax and rhythmic vocal chants, which, pirouetting around Barbara's magnetic croon, throbs with the love, hope and gratitude that the lyrics exude. There could be no better expression of positive power than that unleashed on this gem release from the prestigious Shelter Records.

Diephuis and Jephte Guillaume have both individually brought authentic global sounds to dance floors, the world over - each owning and dominating his turf in extraordinary ways. In 2013, the acclaimed producers joined forces for the first time to produce 'A Journey To Rotterdam' that was later released that same year on Joe Claussell's Sacred Rhythm label.

The Netherlands born Diephuis has produced and remixed many key players on the scene - from Dj Angelo to Ursula Rucker, along with Eastar, Jocelyn Brown, Peven Everett, Stephanie Cooke, Kenny Bobien and Marc Evans - just to name a few. Some of his productions are remixed by the likes of the talented Monoo. His production 'Diephuis - Crossing Borders' was the first remix that the Kings of House team collaborated on together. Many important DJ's in the scene like Black Coffee, Louie Vega, Tony Humphries, Spen, Dixon, Hyenah, Marley Marl, Cajmere and others have played his tracks. His work has appeared on labels such as King St, Nulu Records, Quantize, UnQuantize and many more.

New York resident and Haiti native Jephte Guillaume's musical resume includes works with an impressive array of stars, including Wyclef Jean, Groove Theory/Amel Larrieux, Destiny's Child, Jermaine Jackson, Busta Rhymes' band, and literally, a plethora of others. His own productions, which carry rich Latin and Afro flavours, have earned him much respect on the global underground scene. They include none other than the timeless 'Onè Respè', 'The Prayer', and 'Kanpé'. His album 'Voyage Of Dreams', which appeared on labels such as Spiritual Life, King St, Ibadan, Nite Grooves, and Tet Kale - among others, elevated this Haitian born virtuose to the heights of the world's musical greats. Now, along with Diephuis and Barbara Gwanmesia, the great Jephte Guillaume gives you, 'Baba M'fa Njika'.

Having been an electronic activist in Marseille for more two decades and more, DJ OIL is now a firm staple of LDDLM. Following the RAIN ep released in the summer 2016, here is the first 2018 outing from us: the already bubbling HERITAGE ep.
'Heritage' has been an Ivan Smagghe (and a few others) secret weapon for more than a year now, a strange sampladelic track featuring a full Marcus Garvey speech. A subtle yet powerful appropriation of early house clichés, the hit has one feet in tradition, one feet in political modernity.The EP comes with two more warped cuts: the slow guitar swamp of 'Brouillage' and the System 01/McKenna influenced 'May Be'. Psychedelics and sun.
A second 12' by DJ OIL will follow shortly, doubled with a full digital release of the two EP's with digital extras.
Expect new releases from our camp by Rheinzand, Init, Johnson and more...

Every DJ needs their 'secret weapons' - those handfuls of killer versions or re-fixes, the classics reimagined by shadowy figures who know exactly what needs to be added (or subtracted) from well known or obscure tracks. These activities have long been a staple of the Disco world, think Francois K's incredible early 80's collages, Danny Krivit's DJ specials, Larry Levan's acetate-only special mixes - these are the things of dance music legend. Salsoul is a label that isn't afraid to embrace the new generation of contemporary producers who continue to be inspired by their genre defining catalogue, often drafting in the hottest underground names to rework the classics much to the delight of the newly initiated listener and the hardcore fan. Here we have such a project, a split 12" from 2 new school producers who have turned in some top shelf reworkings of Salsoul jams - German DJ and producer Phonk D gives us a bumpin' version of First Choice jam 'I Can Show You (Better Than I Can Tell You)' which was originally the B-side to 'Breakaway' in 1980. Taking the best parts and teasing them over almost 7 minutes of funk Phonk D crafts an essential dance-floor tool that will certainly get spin in any discerning dance. Over on the flip is a remix of 2 parts from Delphi. Usually making up on half of the infamous Tiger & Woods Delphi steps out on his own and drops a heavyweight version of The Salsoul Orchestra's early 80's Boogie jammer 'Take Some Time Out For Love'. Again, this is a respectful and tasteful take on an underground classic and Delphi adds just the right amount of special seasoning to make this one an all-out bomb! Having been road-tested thoroughly by Tiger & Woods in their DJ sets we can safely say these 2 new mixes hit the right spot for sure. All in all, some essential, fresh and exciting reworks that bring a new slant to the Salsoul catalogue that will undoubtedly have you dancing your ass off!

For listening, for dancing, for turning on a party! Remastered by Optimum Mastering. Artwork & design by Million Dollar Disco.

Classic presents 'Re-Interpretations #1', the exquisite remix package of tracks from Folamour's blissed-out 'Umami' album, available on 12' vinyl. Session Victim introduce a fiercer beat to their 'Devoted To U' remix preserving the delicate strings and its progressive style. Next up, fellow Classic contributor thatmanmonkz pumps up the tempo and lays down heavy percussion in his 8 Minutes Of Funk Remix. Afrobeat producer Austin Ato weaves in his influences on 'Ivoire' with soft drumming, slow saxophones and a disco-inflected bassline amid echoes of vocal from Nigerian singer Kio Amachree. Alabaman Byron The Aquarius sprinkles a little of his jazz-house sound on 'Look At Me Or I'll Steal Your Eyes' ending a truly mesmeric release.

For the first time Iron Curtis enters the ring over the full EP length for Uncanny Valley. There hasn't been much of a discussion whether or not this is something for Uncanny Valley when Iron Curtis approached the four label heads with this new pile of dance floor material. These tunes are too good. Iron Curtis must have been particularly inspired by the muse while producing these four outstanding House tracks. You'll feel a comprehensive knowledge about Dance music's history when listening. No doubt, the Franconian who is now based in Berlin has spent a good time of analysing House music's techniques. "Sweet Romancer" is the best example for his studio eloquence. Modulated synths, a classic bass line and a whole batch of drum ideas are combined into a wonderful track. The interplay between subtlety and vitality characterizes "Nixdorf Danse". Plus, you won't forget those strings. On "Triroom" he proves that he has a knack for melodies as well. Finally, "Take Me Home" should provide a lot of emotional moments on the dance floor with its dramatic piano and crescendo-like synth line.

Romans 1 - The crumbling skeleton of a lost civilization! Romans is Tin Man and Gunnar Haslam. This is their first collaboration debut release on Tinman's own label venture. Tip!

First Physical Release From Boundary. Young Fresh St Domingo Talent With A Certain Love For Addictiv Groove And Acid Melodies.

Strictly Limited To 300 Copies.

Cosmonection returns with his 3rd EP "10 Feet Before The Horizon", after the release of his maxis "Evasion" in 2014 and "Altura" in 2015. This new EP explores a more mature musical and sound approach of the Parisian producer since his last maxi while remaining in his rhythmic and aerial vein.

The start of 2018 sees Enclave Records chalk up its third release and to say we are excited about this one could well be the understatement of the entire year!

As anyone who's been following his progress will already know, Harrison BDP has really gone from strength to strength over the last 12 months. With a slew of Grade A releases on the likes of Artesian Sounds, Music is Love and Shall Not Fade, as well as countless gigs across Europe and beyond, Harrison is rapidly approaching that milestone in any producer's journey - the point at which a listener feels they know who the artist is without having heard the track before.

Harrison's opener wastes little time in firmly establishing the EP's groove-centric core and, much like the centre of a star - otherwise known as the Convection Zone' - this one's hotter than the sun. While rock-solid rims set the track up, the irrepressible bass hook and nagging hats provide just the right amount of swung jazz flavour to keep those ears tweaking. But don't get too comfortable - just wait for the additional layer of woozy percussion to come staggering in like it's gate-crashed someone else's track. This is one seriously solid cut.

While A2 may not have a title, it certainly isn't lacking in terms of identity and sense of purpose and demonstrates that Harrison's influences are deeper and broader than you might first expect. While the bottom end is imbued with a generous lick of acid, the submerged melodics manage to suggest a touch of classic Marizio-esque dub styling. Things take an unexpected but welcome turn when a gorgeous arepeggio emerges and lifts the sonic gaze to an altogether higher plane, before the programming strips back down again for that all-important heads down section.
Enclave Records is committed to showcasing emerging artists, irrespective of where they currently are on their flightpath, and in Garth James we're adamant we've unearthed a rough diamond.
Disturbingly youthful to be turning out tracks as authentic, yet as well-judged as these, our Antipodean maestro knocks it straight out of the park with the absolute animal that is Dear Lizzie'. While the underpinnings of the track undoubtedly bang hard, Garth's synth work lends the track an arresting fragility and mournfulness that rewards the attentive listener and it adds up to an intoxicating mix you'll want to keep coming back to. This one's been extensively road tested and the look on the floor's faces at the one minute mark (you know, that look) never ceases to make us grin.

Garth's closer should leave you in no doubt that we've barely scratched the surface with this guy. While weighty toms work away in harness with frazzled percussion, the star of the show is what can only be described as a knackered church organ - lending the track a solemn, almost hymnal quality that allows us to draw breath as the EP draws to a close. Though there's an undeniable air of melancholia, a feeling only heightened by the sounding of a single, folorn, guitar chord, there's an also a life-affirming quality that hints at the hope of what's yet to come.

Second release of FuFu Records: Mexican house producer Sakro, brings 2 tracks with the new alias 'SKR'. On the other side, Frank Spirit provides two tracks which represent the core of their studio flow. Starting off with an inspirational Jazz tune and slicing it down to a contemporary loop.

Steffen Baldo aka Ugly Drums is a German producer, dj and selecta hailing from Cologne, with previous releases on Rush Hour, Faces Records and Quintessentials.

One of the best kept secrets of german deep house, Ugly Drums delivers the second release of Le Petit Zoo, a new french label ran by Pablo Valentino (MCDE) and LB aka LABAT. Starting with "You Taught me (Reasons)", an acid track that keeps you on your toes, he advances smoothly to three classy deep house cuts, full of lushful synths, groovy basslines and clever hooks. TIP!
