House Vinyl New Releases - News

The sferic label bubbles up from Manchester city centre with Echium's debut suite of charming ambient gestures, neatly expanded by empathetic, weightless house remixes
from local cuties, Perfume Advert and Space Afrika.
Their mutual first move, Synthetic Space (sferic 001) positions both Echium and sferic within a well rooted tradition of Berlin kosmische, dub and Detroit techno-informed electronics emanating from the rainy city, convecting a wistful spirit that resonates with Martin Hannett's work for The Durutti Column as much as J.S. Zeiter's mutable dub techno and the humbly mannered moves of the CCO and meandyou. labels.
Its eight original tracks oscillate between effervescent tones and grained electronics with a carefully realised, cybernetic nuance, locating a lush balance of haptic nudge and detached process that really gets under the skin in altered states. It's active in the opening cut, Blended Textures' swirl of arid chords and frothing acid, and smudged deeply into the glowing pores of Juum and the noumenal bleep space of Looum, and aching with a
lovebot sentience in the Shinichi Atobe-esque title track, all on the A-side, whereas the the B-side subtly edges up the bass to tactile, insistent degrees with the air-stepping
Ethereal and Activation beauties giving way to the arabesque vignette, Jazz Interlude.
Special mention, then for the remixes, with Salford's Perfume Advert playing to their Anxiety Support Group tendencies with nervously deferred but soothing results, and the ascendent Space Afrika duo hustling a rolling, heads-down Tribalist Dub version that leaves the disc simmering for another spin ahead of their debut LP, as promised for sferic in the near future.

The french artist Jay Ka show us an amazing release with deep sounds and raw waves, perfect to floor. B Side contains vocalist cut with Amanda and Dubbyman boss remix.

After 3 years, Jesus Gonsev is back again with a full orginal EP on swiss imprint deepArtSounds. He collaborated again with the lovely & smooth voice of Sarignia Bonfà on the song "Unlimited Sky". The track also features a brilliant synth solo by Chicago Legend Glenn Underground. The label also hired Detroit's Patrice Scott for a jazzy and soulful Remix. All this is rounded off by two more stunning tracks that Jesus delivers for the EP.

Michael Mayer. Credited by many as one of the leading tastemakers in dance music, his DJ sets have influenced a generation (or two) of musicians and fans out there today. An artist that has never allowed time or age to slow him down - Michael Mayer remains tirelessly motivated behind the DJ decks, in the studio or behind his desk at Kompakt, the company he co-owns. Last year's full-length LP, '&', was Michael's fourth, a departure that saw him extensively collaborate with an impressive host of contemporaries and friends, including Joe Goddard, Prins Thomas and Agoria. Complimenting these excursions perfectly, Michael's long overdue contribution to the legendary DJ Kicks series finds the Cologne artist in just as generous of a mood, only rooted in his ever-expanding record collection, and above all, his defining instinct to share the beauty of music with others.
'On an abstract level, the approach was basically the same for both projects', observes Mayer. 'For & I put together a group of people that are close to my heart. For Kicks it was a group of records that are like friends to me. All of the tracks I used went through heaven and hell with me. They've become true companions. Circling in on and bringing together these friends was the only criterion for the making of this mix. I wanted it to be as personal as possible.' Perhaps unnervingly to some, fifteen years have passed since the debut edition to Mayer's breathtaking, scene defining mix trilogy, Immer. Not that it's legacy - Resident Advisor's #1 Mix of the 00s, one of Rolling Stone's 30 Greatest EDM Albums Of All Time - has disturbed Mayer's formidable workload. A catalogue of no less than 23 EPs, 4 albums and 170 remixes informs a near constant level of international touring. Exhausting as this can be, even after all these years, it's a ritual that informs the delicate construction of Mayer's contribution to the DJ Kicks series.



Love (Ratcliffe Remix)



(Club Mix)



(Röyksopp Remix)

After a few excursions on 777 Recordings, Die Orakel and Bokhari Records plus remixes for Spectral Sound and Nuearth Kitchen, Orson Wells returns to his own Sound Mirror imprint with another superb 3-tracker. A slightly electro tinged dreamy and melodic beauty called G.I.T.S.' is followed by the distorted, heavy breakbeat enhanced pounding title track Missn' U' on side A, while the futuristic deep journey Red Planet' on the flip makes this EP another versatile and quality packed release you shouldn't miss.

Powder is an up-and-coming producer from Tokyo who had put out only a couple of releases on Born Free and ESP Institute when Resident Advisor featured her on the monthly series Breaking Through this past August.
Inspired by her first visit to Cocktail d'Amore in 2015, she was so enthralled by the atmosphere, she started working on an EP for the label capturing her experiences from the party.
The way Powder interprets sound is extremely personal and unique.The opener Hip has a driving sensual groove with hints of acid, seasoned with a good amount of loons and a mysterious foggy melody while Heart sounds like an italo disco aural translation of a shojo manga script for a fun in the sun tinged story.On the flip side a slowmo industrial-meets-rainforest groove characterizes Hole followed by Hair in which she blends many layers of rhythm patterns together.

Here's a glorious selection of 12 bright and sun-drenched moments destined to be heard daily at the world's coolest beach clubs this summer and inevitably soundtracking a million gorgeous sunsets in Ibiza.

This edition features exclusives aplenty. There are two album-only tracks, Tommy Awards gets an Ambient remix from Balearic's Jim Breese. Then The Madrigal blasts off with 'Ride To The Moon,' a completely unique track that's refreshing to hear.

Three tracks were previously unavailable digitally, including the debut from Nancy Noise, Olefonken's spacey remix of Hubbabubbaklubb, and Steve Cobby's tropical-jazz remix of Penelope Antena's Tradewinds.

Other highlights include Cantoma's 'Abando,' plus an incredible, modern interpretation of the 80's classic Southern Freeez from Paul Murphy.

BALEARIC 3 captures the ineffable spirit of Ibiza - perfectly accompanying that unique moment when the golden sun meets the gleaming sea. It's destined to be a classic, go-to album you'll reach for again and again.

2013 is set to be an incredible year for Ali Love. The London-based producer and vocalist has recently inked a deal with the legendary Crosstown Rebels label and is currently putting the finishing touches to a new album (the follow up to 2010's Love Harder). The first track to be taken from the album is 'Emperor', which features additional vocals from Kali. The single will be available on 12" and download and comes backed with remixes from Waze & Odyssey and Maceo Plex.

'Emperor' comes on the back of a creative purple patch for Ali Love. As a member of both Hot Natured (with Jamie Jones, Lee Foss and Luca C) and Infinity Ink (with Luca C Love has recently been part of two of the biggest club tracks of the last twelve months in 'Benediction' and 'Infinity'. This upward trajectory is set to continue with a Hot Natured making their debut live appearances with two headline shows at London's 5000 capacity Brixton Academy, and debut Hot Natured LP set for release later this year.

Ali Love's new album will be released later in 2013 on Crosstown Rebels. As one of the UK's finest electronic songwriters and vocalists, 2013 is set to see Ali deliver on all the potential he's always promised, and receive the recognition he deserves.

Launching the sub label with this beautiful release. Balearic sounds and downtempo chill music for this 7'. The new series is the perfect platform for different styles of good music. No boundaries here...

B-Tracks aka John Barera & Soren Jahan are in charge of the first release on Berlin-based label Regular Expression. As the name of the EP suggests the two hardware-addicts indeed did work something out. As a result they deliver these four raw cuts on DJ-friendly 180g vinyl.

We once again have the pleasure of introducing a new unit comprised of some old friends to the world! Luces is Felix Bloxsom, otherwise known as Plastic Plates, and Caleb Cornett, a.k.a. Amtrac, and its here on LPH that they make their debut with Habitual Ritual, a big-room epic with an undercurrent of classic deep house and disco vibes running through it. The three originals included in the package are driven, pumping whompers that crescendo and dissolve into breakdowns sublimely. The remix, by Autofac (Shit Robot, Juan MacLean) is a dubby, stretch-out take on the titular track. Prime-time fodder for club floors and pump-up mixes alike!

Finale Sessions is pleased to celebrate it's 5 year aniversery with three of my closest friends Luke Hess, Patrice Scott. Basic Soul Unit and Michael Zucker . I am not even going to give you a review I will let the music do the talking . I want to thank you for supporting Finale Sessions for the 5 years it has been around . I love you with all my heart

4 tracks of underground acid house from the UK's Steve Cook whose previous release was for the esteemed Tusk Wax imprint....................

GLASS TABLE RETURNS WITH THE 4TH IN THE SERIES OF HIGHLY COLLECTABLE / LIMITED RELEASES
PRESSED ON A 12" PICTURE DISC AND COMES IN A FULL PICTURE SLEEVE.

500 ONLY FIRST COME FIRST SERVED.

After releases on Hypercolour and its digital off shoot, Tom Demac now makes the step up to the Glass Table imprint with a far ranging three track EP that is arguably his finest to date. Never one to fall into the usual tried and tested traps, Demac's sound is as idiosyncratic as the man who makes it, drawing on myriad influences and getting the best out of his fine collection of studio of gear. When he's not tweeting about pooing, how many cookies he's eaten in 20 minutes or other such incidentals, that is.

'Obstructing The Light' is a lazy and moody soup of swirling deep house. Dreamy voices drift like clouds above a chugging kick clap combo as light finger melodies keep things from growing all too dour.

'Four Leaves Right' is a quicker joint, but the moods are still studiously sombre and melancholic. There's an irresistibly swinging arc to each kick that really sweeps you up, along with a deep, buried, bobbling Bristol bass-like b-line to keep things firmly rooted on the dancefloor despite the dream-pop vocals and layers of intricate percussion.

'For the Love of Grey' is the final effort and another one that is epic in its design without ever drifting too far away from a solid groove. From finger clicks to wooden hits, sad strings and snatched vocal coos, the mood is an involved, inward one that has shades of John Roberts' organic textures and Moodymann's atmospherics from start to finish.

With this EP Tom Demac continues in Glass Table's boutique tradition, but so too does he mark himself out as a producer with far silkier skills than your average electronic beatsmith.

Delayed Audio return in style following the success of their last, highly rated release from James Fox & James Welsh. For this outing, the Brighton based house label return to their roots, delivering a various artists release featuring established and up coming talent alike.

Disko records boss & Berlin based Daniel Solar lays down an excellent opening track, combining a short, but expertly placed vocal hook with an acid-tinged bass line, subtle pad work and loose percussion. A dance floor focused track, with just the right amount of nod to the underground - superb stuff.

Next we have rising star, Franky Redente, who broke onto the scene in 2012 with a track on the excellent Glasgow Underground. Here Redente takes things into late night territory with a haunting and wonderfully sparse take on deep house music, utilising rolling sub bass, rising pads and awe-inspiring drum work to create a heads down houser. This one will certainly be turning heads, for all the right reasons.

On the flip, Wilf Mason delivers his inaugral release in the form of a "Where Did The Night Go". Don't let Mason's lack of status fool you - this is the real deal. Acid is the order of the day here, with a wonderfully simple but incredibly effective line running through this peak-time houser, infused with a killer bass line and expertly placed effects.

Last, but by no means least, we have Black Key Records label boss, Tom Sevinski, who turns out an excellent round off to the EP. "Every Side" is a dark, techno infused house track, oozing analogue charm and maturity. This one will undoubtedly appeal to those who like their house music dark & haunting - a very playable track indeed.

Public Release's lucky thirteen and second release of 2017 is by another kindred spirit newcomer to the label; Earth Boys, a Brooklyn-based duo that's all dreamy keys, soft pads, peace frogs, throwback vibes, and deftly futuristic house rhythms, though not necessarily in that order.
With Trail Mix, Mike Sherburn and Julian Duron have built four gloriously friendly, oddball house cuts— cheeky, choppy vocal samples juxtaposed against schmaltzy piano licks and punchy tribal rhythms rubbing against smooth bass figurations. Their ironic sense of humor intersects with precisely crafted productions in a way that underscores both, making the EP a brilliant concoction of bouncy, energetic dance music that teases the genre as much as it revels in it. If that messes with your head, just shut down your left brain, drop the needle, take a big ol' rip, and see where a microdose of Earth Boys will take you.

The No Stress Express rolls back into town with their second offering for Rogue Cat Sounds, where they pick you up and transport you to the sunnier climes and headier days of 1980s Caribbean.

Steel drums, loose-limbed percussion, lazy synth stabs and carefree basslines, all infused with a whiff of Woodbines, jerk chicken and dark rum. As the sun sets, the party picks up momentum. Barefoot beach dancing.

Tipsy, 'mellow' moods. 'Location 141' is chosen as the spot to ignite the fire which is carried out with blistering aplomb, taking us on yet another excursion. Speaking in tongues; old stories being told on repeat to the keen ears of worldly explorers, and as the stars descend and the moon casts its blue hue, the sea gently throws its waves against the 'Soft Rocks', where we're lifted high into the cosmos in a tranquil, tropical daze and splendour, reminding us just why it was that we ran away to 'Runaway Bay'.

Ten Thousand Yen is very proud to announce a new signing - Rimbaudian, with this stunner of an EP. We first met him at our party in Nitsa, Barcelona last summer. We loved his Meda Fury debut and asked if he'd send some tunes our way. By the time we got home, there was a new folder waiting with about 40 tracks from Rimbaudian and a certain DJ Seinfeld. Just about every single one was great, a feat we can assure you never happens. This is easily some of our favourite music right now, and we're stoked to share it with you!

Kashual, a 7" label, was founded by music lovers for music lovers. The limited releases shall be dedicated to underground and casually combine selected tunes from all kinds of music.
Don't ride your horse backwards to the future!

X-Press 2 are gearing up for an exciting 2015 with a formidable string of releases due on Skint, and further high profile labels. But before they enter a new chapter we offer a set of un-released dance floor driven productions that wrap up the duo's last few years of works and set of Single/EP's that saw release on the Skint catalogue. This is MMXV.


True to the body of work that was appearing in the period of production, MMXV introduces itself with "You're Gone", a house roller that woos you into the groove. "Down" continues to pursue the dance floor with rattling vocals and shaking percussion.


As we flip the 12", we are warmed by "Cirius Stab", which softens the beat and fixates us with a bubbly sense of joy. To further, an act renown for cow bells since 1992 with the anthem "Muzik Xpress", "Remedy" delivers a smooth ode to the UK house sound that X-Press 2 were constructively heavily involved with.

Kiev House steps out with its first independent 12 to represent the most upfront and exciting talent coming out of Kiev.
From the title track's tough drum lines and woozy atmosphere to Lame Fetish, which blossoms into life on a hazy bed of undulating chords and broken beats, and on to the spooky chimes of Acid Tool, this 12 marks a leap forward for both Youngg P and the wider Ukranian house music scene.
Italian producer Steve Murphy rounds the EP out with a sumptuous, dubbed out version of Morning Smoke perfect for the hazy early hours of the day the track title celebrates.
This 12 marks a leap forward for the Ukranian house music scene, establishing a platform for the most innovative producers operating in the city at this time. Limited to 200 copies, it's not a record to be slept on when it passes in front of you.

First release on Joe Smooth's new label featuring the exquisite talents of the one & only Faith Evans

The next release on DISCOVERY Recordings comes from Catamaran, a young NYC based producer who's been coming to the parties and feeling the vibe. He sent us some really tite demos and we got in the studio to make them titer. The tracks are infused with the life of the city - from jackin' house to lush rhodes grooves. We all love Fort Romeau, so we had him do a remix that takes the sound across the pond. 500 copies, hand stamped, vinyl only.

Jan Barich aka Map.ache, long-time resident DJ of Leipzig's Conne Island, part of the reliably great KANN label and the Manamana DJ duo, presents »Perception Shift /A«, his first release on Altin Village & Mine. After his lauded 2015 Giegling debut, being remixed by Dixon and contributing to the Permanent Vacation compilation series, joining the AVM roster is only a seemingly surprising move for Map.ache, considering the label's long-standing relationship with (electronic) dance music and previous remixes done by Map.ache for the label's The Robocop Kraus and PTTRNS.For »Perception Shift /A«, which was produced at Barich's studio in Leipzig and mastered by Josh Bonati in New York City, who has previously done work for AVM as well as mastered records for house music greats such as Omar-S, Levon Vincent or Kyle Hall, Barich worked his way through the label's back catalog and chose tracks from four relatively recent releases to remix: Skeletons' »All I Want is You« (off 2016's Am I Home), Phoebe Killdeer & The Shift's »Let's Talk A Good Story« (off 2016's The Piano's Playing The Devils Tune), Urban Homes' »Tropical Jam« (off 2016's Jams), and Sven Kacirek's »Turkey Dance« (off 2012's The Kenya Sessions).As diverse as the selection's original tracks are, the 12' sees Barich gently, but decisively rework their grooves into a collection of reverberating, feathery tracks that take their cues from minimal music as much as they do from house with Map.ache's trademark melodic sensibility and boldness. Barich truly makes the material his own and re-frames it in an exciting way, starting with Skeletons' »All I Want is You«, spreading out the already epic original into a delicate, polyrhythmic synth meditation, all the way to the Sven Kacirek rework, the most club-ready track on the 12', which layers the original's percussive grooves into a melancholic house number. »Perception Shift /A« showcases Map.ache's outstanding musicality, a collection of hopeful and diverse, yet coherent tracks that are ethereal while firmly rooted on the dancefloor.

After 4 years of working in the studio
Pay tribute to the genre ACID with there first ever co-produced release. This 2X12 EP contains the long play of the hit single IT'S A STRUGGLE.

Olin returns to Argot with fellow Smart Bar resident Savile in tow. Vinyl only orig mix + dubbed out floor-filler & suffocating bass, massive kicks, and relentless drum programming, on the remixes.

Chicago - 1992. Ray Barney's Dance Mania imprint has already been making it's presence felt on the streets since way back in 1985 with a slew of releases from luminaries such as Lil Louis, DJ Pierre, Vincent Floyd, Armando and many more. Step in Parris Mitchell, under his Rhythm II Rhythm alias with a 12" of pure deepness for the label, oddly this the only one Parris released using this particular name. "A touch of jazz" is a languid, soulful roller that stands out amongst the more tougher edged, frenetic releases on Dance Mania. This is some late night, smoothed out business across 4 alternate mixes. It's all uptempo snapping drums, shifting jazzy keys and that ridiculously catchy bassline, pure deep house basically.This is the first time "A touch of jazz" has ever been reissued in full, just as it was originally released in 1992, complete with original Dance Mania label artwork. 100% legit, reissued in conjunction with Dance Mania records, Chicago IL and Parris Mitchell."Do it tonight!

finally repressed

Roberto makes his debut on Good Timin' with four-tracks of classy bangers. Leading the charge is the shuffling "Junk Rudder," a piece of flanged out club gear that has the grace and grit to take any party to "that next level." Meanwhile, "Atomic" is a not-quite peak-hour stomper, while "Oceanic" is the sound of Goa Trance if the drug of choice was high-end coconut water. Finally, "Twilight" sounds like something Bruce Hornsby might cook up if he got arrested and could only talk to his lawyer through a broken Moog.

Welcome aboard brand new label OLUM
Their debut release comes from Japanese newcomer Shunsuke Kojima
'Twilight' is a perfect title for this beautiful track, a melodic and deeply pulsing analogue dreamboat, which sets sail just as the sun goes down
Who better to handle the remix than Balearic superheroes Soul Mekanik, who take the track into choppier waters with a bumping, synth-happy rewire
250 only, no repress
