House Vinyl New Releases - News

"Love is the message‚ and the message is love." The second part of San's L.O.V.E. collabs. "It's here" with Miguel Graca on this special, dancefloor friendly 10' record.
After his first L.O.V.E. release, San Proper combines forces with the legendary Montrealistic producer Miguel Graca to spread the gospel of love again. Also available is the "Lovesick" video shot by Xena Maria Evers, Eefje Baesjou & Germaine Ching-Yong at the basement "Verdieping" of the infamous and former club Trouw in Amsterdam.

Previously released on a different record label digitally (Upon You), Make Space In Your Life is presented here for the first time on vinyl. Similarly, In Between, which was also previously released digitally (Sporty Limited), has been given a new rework for the vinyl lovers. To top off the package, an exclusive new track "From The Vaults" has been freshly baked by the French producer, based in Berlin. Bloody Mary takes us back to our old 90's rave days with the rework of her tune In Between, with a well pronounced touch of Trance in its pads, well driven by a heavy acid bass line for the whole song and Mary's voice sprinkled over it. Heading to the B-side, From The Vaults takes the listener through a journey into sequenced synth, with a melody that brings lightness to a sharp bass line, supported by a bumpy rhythm.
Bloody Mary closes this EP with class on Make Space in Your Life, delivering a deep but powerful song that shows a hint of melancholy in its pads and Mary's vocals floating on the top. A well rounded three track EP from the Dame-Music chief that is sure to be heard on many dancefloors all around the world.

Release number 16th comes from a mysterious project of a quite known artist. It comes straight from Chicago! 4 raw and hypnotic tracks tracks with a pure vibe from the Lost City Of Atlantis

Up next on 20/20 Vision we welcome the ever-diverse and evolving Nathan Jonson. Following a decade of producing and DJ'ing as Hrdvsion, Nathan has stepped out under his birth name to mark a new stage in his career. Cross Colours is a perfect representation of this new stage, a hybrid of all the styles he has become renowned for.
When we heard Cross Colours we were all in agreement that Luke Vibert would be the perfect remixer. Luckily Luke agreed too and turned in a killer take on the original, flirting with early rave and hardcore whilst keeping the electro aesthetic.
The B side is rounded off with a club focused version from Ralph Lawson & Rui-Z (which has already being championed by Seth Troxler on his most recent Essential Mix) and a dark techno rework from exciting new 20/20 signing Dokta, who you can expect to hear a lot more from this year.

Unreleased Volume 4 of this insanely popular series from an mysterious entity going by nothing more than NYC LOFT TRAX. They show no sign of slowing down with more quality grooves from an apparently vast archive.

Warm Tapes Adjustment returns with the Second Volume once again performed by SCM a Gari Romalis.
On the A Side two raw and dusty live sample sessions from SCM.
On the B side two lo-fi disco styled house tracks from one of Detroit's finest underground producers
Four house tracks fused in a combination that makes this record unique! Vinyl Only release

Hedonism is an ethical theory that pleasure, in a sense of satisfaction of desires, is the highest good and proper aim of human life, and this seems to also be HDNSM's ultimate musical objective. Their first release debuted as a kickstarter of Variant EP' V.A. series, showcasing three very different yet highly contemplative creations from Cumsecade, Anestie Gomez and Man Spider.

HDNSM flips the coin and for the second episode of Variant' series it lands on two very solid, incredibly moody and extensive works from fresh talents Shcaa and Cleymoore. The EP features two very different tracks yet they share the same minimalistic core. Both works are blessed with intricate micro-drum arrangements for those feeling groove hungry whilst still standing tall in the experimental abstract realm pleasing those who crave unusual frequencies.

A-side's Masquée' is one of Shcaa's typical rides between sound and silence and it is hard to find another artist who understands sound gaps between grooves better than Shcaa does. With his signature vocals and an incredibly delicious duality between acoustic instrumentalism and electronic slamming, this is a groovy, highly deep, very intelligently arranged piece.

The flip-side Nebula', signed by Pluie/Noir's boss Cleymoore, is a tip of an iceberg when it comes to the art of stripping down. In an apparently thin canvas of minimal drum arrangements there's a vast amount of sound frequencies underneath a steady ever-kicking groove, tricking your mind into thinking that you're hearing less than you actually perceive. Nebula is hypnotic and dense but focused and sophisticatedly groovy. Like the repetitive vocals you'll hear throughout the B-side, this V.A. sticks to your mind like an addiction of some sort and pushes HDNSM to a new standard of avant-garde and forward-thinking attitude.

As before, this vinyl only release comes in a gorgeous cover featuring a painting from Max Binski and the number of copies available is limited.

Back in 2003 a new band from Wellington, New Zealand released a limited 10' featuring this now mythical track - Hope. That band, Fat Freddy's Drop, some 14 years later are playing sell out shows across the globe. The band always wanted to release Hope on a louder pressing and Record Store Day is the perfect excuse. This super limited 12' features a re-mastered version of Hope on the A side and a re-interpretaton of the original artwork engraved on the fip. These will go. Fast.

Deep Consciousness incl. Ness Unconscious Rework
Phorma launches with powerful deep techno by Norm Talley on the A side and a dark trippy pulsating and irresistibly groovy interpretation by Ness on the B side. In general, Phorma will be dedicated to dark drone pulsating techno soundscapes and deep dubby mesmerizing loops exclusively released on the beautiful medium vinyl. the record design by highly-acclaimed Maison Blessing from Hamburg is based on art engravings depicting dusky scenes from nature. the
mystical and gloomy atmospheres are thus conveyed both acoustically as well as visually. Phorma searches for a seemingly-perpetual immersion into abyssal sonic metahpysica. Or, to close with Friedrich Nietzsche: "Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature, but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature, placed alongside thereof for its conquest."

''Femman EP' ('The Five EP' in english) marks the return of our favorite artists ever, Daniel Stranéus & Faik Shakarchi, to Geography Records. We all remember Geography 001

Bas Roos is a DJ and producer from Rotterdam, The Netherlands. He started DJ'ing at the age of 16 after spending some time on making his own music. A year later he released his first EP and from that moment on he started to develop a unique and fresh sound which has seen releases on Phil Weeks' Robsoul Label as well as Shir Khan's Black Jukebox Disco House Series on Exploited. The 18th Edition of Black Jukebox sees the young producer deliver 4 new tracks which work magic on the dancefloor. Do yourself a favor and pick it up before this limited collector's item sells out.

Boris Werner returns with 'Daymare Dreamer EP' featuring collaborations with noisemaker 'Gretz & Rival of Mars' as well as 'Cinema Royale' and two fresh solo tracks 'Dance of the Hump Back Whale' and 'Frustration (No Strings Attached'). This EP by Werner, known for his infamous 23 hour DJ set in Amsterdam, kicks off with the title tune 'Daymare Dreamer' riding it's way in at 7min40secs in total for a breezy welcome of classic Werner style house beats. This opening track bubbles with roots influence that fans will be familiar with as well as some slick vocal slices drifting in and out. Having previously realised mixes and podcasts alongside the likes of beat creators and funky jammers such as Dj Buck, Lazare Hoche & Malin Génie, William Djoko, and Dj Deeon this new release comes after many live shows and events including his live set from an old wine bodega. His summer calendar is booked up with international tour dates at some of the most spot on locales for dance floor showdowns. This wealth of tour experiences, inspiration and excitement can be felt from the jazzy Dance of the Hump Back Whale' through to the funky pulsations of 'Frustration (No Strings Attached). 'King Hassan a track created with 'Cinema Royale' features superb 80s style house/electro cow-bell samples, mysterious murky baselines and forward motion keyboard funk.

Classic GLENN UNDERGROUND making the MPC sing. A must have for fans. GLENN is more than a DJ, he's a very talented
musician and this 12" showcases some of his subtle and wonderfully layered production.

What is 'Come Easy' about
High Heels Breaker: - I wanted to write a soulful and electronic song with the idea to leave it as empty as possible by using the minimum of music notes and rhythms. Nowadays we are massivly flooded with (social media) data that I prefer airy and empty music.'

How did the collaboration with singer Sarah Palin come about
High Heels Breaker: 'Zurich's music scene is not that big. We know each other from the cooperation with swiss rapper Big Zis and met throigh my mate Sacha Winkler aka Kalabrese. I called her on a monday morning and asked her, if she's in and if she could write some lyrics in the next 1-2 months. I sent her the track, she agreed and the following friday the vocals were recorded. During the recording session I got goose bumps, her lyrics about an unwanted breakup is just touching.'

Renowned producers and DJs like Dave Aju (label buddy of Nicolas Jaar), David August and Kalabrese just did remixes for Come Easy. Were they inspired rather from the music or the lyrics
High Heels Breaker: 'I think, the song is good, because music, lyrics and vocals are merging. They all felt the universal pain, the reduced instrumentation and of course the soul in it. That's why they were easily convinced of doing a remix...'

R&S Records present the three remixes from Sporting Life's Slam Dunk series pressed to one slab of wax. These remixes all came from Sporting Life's friends and contemporaries.
Actress turns in a stunning, typically deconstructed remix of Court Vision (feat Evy Jane) - alternating between using the full vocal, the mood is one of melancholic hauntology.
Galcher Lustwork comes correct with a tripped out, euphoric house reworking of 'Hydrate...' peeling back the complexity of the original for a straight jack that oozes class.
Finally arch beat provocateur Dean Blunt provides a suitably oddball take with his 'Babyfather Honeytrap mix (for Shakilus) final VIP' - If you've heard the amazing Babyfather album or mixtape you know what to expect here.

Now part of the family for more than a year, TvFrom86 aka Thomas Zander is releasing his 1st solo EP on the imprint. Tvfrom86 did a brilliant debut on Roche Musique with the single 'Loosing you' including the very good electro funk song 'Brooklyn Business'.

Keeping the good work and the talent for sampling, TvFrom86 explored the funk with dexterity and exactness in Purple People adding just what the sample needed to sublimate it and make it as powerful as it deserves to be. Creative Swing Alliance, side project of the talented label manager for MCDE, Pablo Valentino, and Steven Wobblejay, gave their own interpretation with and heavier bass and no less efficiency.

S3A was invited on the project for the rework of Flying Piano, the third original of the release. The French producer, very proactive at the moment with releases on Lazare Hoche, Hold Youth, Faces, Large Musique and more, definitely didn't steel his nickname. S3A Is telling us three stories in one with a rough analogic sound for an impressive result.

Efficient DJ tool, perfect to turn a dance floor into a mess, By all means combines great rhythmic, samples and voices around a bass guitar for the last original of this French touch record.

Gonzo-Gonzo's versatility as a performer on the dancefloor is a trait just as easy to recognize here on the offering of his Collage EP, a release encasing two original tracks complimented by reworks. Collage kicks in with a punchy bassline from the get go, captivating earwaves while setting the tone for a highly dynamic, glittery disco infused piece.
The vocals progressively step in, with guitar loops and high pitched voices as centerpieces, adding up to a high strung sequence with major dance appeal.
Bringing in a dose of earthiness, Till Von Sein jumps in on the rework, setting things off with a stripped down bassline and subdued groove. Tribal drums entwine with metallic percussion in a reinterpretation that keeps the exotic flavour of the original
while turning it into its own rolling groove rush.
We're greeted with a hard-hitting set of basses thumping in as Cuidado opens up. Seamlessly blending the lead synth into the vocal sample, the Danzón Pérez chief adds layer upon layer, building up an uplifting melody.
Taking cues from the initial groove, but instilling a more mellow ambiance, Franck Roger puts forth an equally cheerful rendition of Cuidado with an
added dose of bass to round off the release.

New York's Sheik N Beik continue to assert themselves as a trusted outlet of chilly, understated Techno following up releases from Xamiga, Keita Sano and Hermans with a VA from family members IVVY, Mr Dello, OG AG and Ray Rose.
First up is Mr Dello with 'Pilgrims' - a bold march that propels few finely crafted elements with deft usage of warped analogue FX. Intensity snowballs throughout as metallic synths thicken before OG AG aka Andrew Grant follows up with '410 Prospect' - an intergalactic transmission rich with bending synth lines.
One half of Dirk Largo, Ray Rose then casts his eyes down in following up with tight, shuffling drums and buoyant synth tones all suffused with a healthy dose of dub before IVVY - a fresh alias from Madison Levine. Originating from Seattle's burgeoning hardware scene, he offers up 'Shape Speed' - a languid, capacious groove that drives thick drums through dense and dubby textures that round off a solid addition to a catalogue continuing to go from strength to strength.

The anonymous label Lossless go one better with the follow-up to the first release. Our Irish friend The Drifter liked the original so much that he did a remix on his own which is already a big hit everywhere we drop it. Modern housemusic in perfection! Kristian

DJ Nature challenges french techno duo Society Of Silence with a downtempo remix somewhere between house and hip hop. Oh and... don't forget electro track B2!

Four Thirty Two, the new record label directed and curated by Richy Ahmed, reveals its second release this Spring with a fantastic new single from Luca Cazal. Out on vinyl & digital in April, 'Be Alone' is backed with collaboration with Italian producer, Andrea Fiorito.
Cazal has previously released music on Crosstown Rebels, Classic Music Company and his own See Double label, and once again displays his house music credentials on this Four Thirty Two release.
His understanding of club music runs deep; knowing what makes a dancefloor tick is an essential skill for any producer, and Cazal's DJ residency at the Paradise DC10 club nights and regular gigs at Circoloco keep him firmly in tune and adept at carving out modern and fresh party moments.
'Be Alone' is an inspiriting, rolling house track that builds steadily over its tenure. A filtered vocal hook unfurls over tension building strings and nimble keys, the hi-hats assuredly rattling over rolling snare fills and with the energy levels never dropping, Cazal serves up a cracking club cut with all the hallmarks of a filtered house classic in the making.
The infectious house grooves keep coming with 'Manali', with Cazal partnering up with Andrea Fiorito (Cynosure) for a no-nonsense, heads down, acidic basement moment. An urgent bassline bounces around the locked groove whilst choppy vocals, haunting synths and energetic percussion all hustle for prime position in this lively and effective track.

Limited Edition Hand Stamped 12' Vinyl - Some say techno's 4/4 owes its powerful majesty to our human heartbeat and its constant, uninterrupted pulse. - Some say the most magnificent and memorable dark skies on earth can be seen in Sweden, known as the Northern Lights: they may vary its shape, colour and intensity through time, but its presence in our imaginary stays untouched and seems always ready to captivate us again.As true techno lovers, our vinyl only constellation welcomes swedish legendary artist Samuel L. Session: in RC we've always referred to Samuel's figure as the Aurora Borealis of techno: timeless, always evolving and majestic. 'In the dark' plays 3 engaging, pushing and beat leading tracks: our most reliable 4/4 beat reference for those who enjoy getting lost dancing in the dark but don't want to lose the North.

Turquoise Records debuts its first vinyl release staying true to both worlds of Deep House and House Music, Produced by Armando Mendes and featuring Larissa Kapp (Freerange, Suol, Raygun Records). Also it comes with an amazing Remix and Dub mix by techno legend Oliver Kapp (Indulge Records, Logistic Records, Stockholm LTD).
The original mix is very House/Balearic oriented with jacking house beat driving bassline and a very catchy vocal arrangement by Larissa. On the other side the dub mix is quite pumping as well with the vocal hook, and foggy cinematic lead keys...

Four tracks, four producers. One label regular, three new recruits. Four different takes on the deep house sound that we know and love here at PFT.Label regular/boss Goshawk kicks things off with the dubby slo-mo house grooves of 'Take You Home' which has a raw hypnotic disco inflected groove complete with chopped up vocals. Serious biznizz.Tatsu (aka DJ Isaac Indart from the Puro crew in Palma, Mallorca) offers up the bumping deep vibes on 'Walk Away' - think snapping snares, square wave basslines and sunkissed pads. WARM.Tim Tonal is most notably known for being part of the Alphadogs, whose incredible 'Bonelicker EP' on DIY is an all-time free party classic. He supplies another sure fire party starter with 'Love What U Feel', Nottingham soundsystem house at it's finestFinally, coming straight out of Bordeaux is Leon Revol (Apersonal) with the sublime 'Tape Loop' - a rolling, locked in groove with a fantastic arrangement which keeps the groove interesting throughout.Hopefully something for everyone on here. Or everything for no-one

French label D3 Elements returns to Chicago for its next EP, this time looking to the assured house talents of Hakim Murphy for three tracks of raw, dense grooves right from the heart of the Windy City.

Murphy has been busy in recent years, putting out his prickly yet soul infused analogue sounds in both LP and EP format. He has done so on his own Machining Dreams and Synapsis Records labels as well as on the assured likes of Plan B and Episodes. The latter is run by Ike Release, someone with whom hakim has collaborated often as Innerspace Halflife, a live PA project.

Opener 'Boxbeat' is a curious, freaky jam with bobbing percussive hits, wonky, pixel thin synth lines and free roaming pads that wrap the whole thing in a nice sense of spaced-out serenity. 'Taste o'Rainbow' has a much more firmly planted kick drum that pounds away uninterrupted below a free flowing brew of modulate synth sounds. It's expertly reduced and masterfully reserved and is sure to send dance floors wild as a result. The flipside cut 'Freshness' has pinging drums and a big, frazzled bass line as slithering chords rain down the face. Musical yet jacking, cosmic yet propulsive, it is a perfectly contemporary Chicago house sound that rounds out a fine EP from one of the best in the game.

R&S welcomes back Space Dimension Controller's Jack Hamill for a EP of his trademark future-funk, his first for the label since 2013.
The EXOSTACK EP marks a welcome return from Hamill to the kind of astro-boogie that made him a unifying favourite in any discerning DJ's record box.
The title track is a masterclass of wide-eyed astral disco - cycling euphoric arpeggios underpinned by dubbed out bass riffs and swooning pads. Unfurling over a sizeable 8 minutes, Hamill justifies every second with a beguiling arrangement that takes the listener on a groove excursion of epic proportions.
On the flip, red hot Swede Kornél Kovács
delivers a tuff rerub that jacks up the drums, and cools out the chords, twisting the original into a classic house roller. SDC original 'BIOPAN' finds Hamill in more contemplative mood - pulsing drums, a subdued bass figure and woozy synth melodies combine to haunting effect.

Huge re issue from Steve Poindexter's back catalogue from 1991. All 6 tracks are fully re mastered for 2014 and re released in original artwork. Released in conjunction with Steve Poindexter / Chicago Underground. Discogs prices are $100+++ but they won't sound as good as this and all pressing faults from original copies have been corrected.

Back in '95 when the term Superclub was first used, (a title we very much distanced ourselves from) and the club compilation was still very much in its infancy, HardTimes released Roger Sanchez The Album and Todd Terry Live at HardTimes. Both would receive worldwide critical acclaim, be described as musical masterpieces and win club compilation of the year and a brilliant reflection of a night at HardTimes by the likes of Mixmag, DJ Magazine, Muzik Magazine and Billboard.
22 years on, we are set to release the follow-up to those two amazing compilations. So it's no surprise we have gone back to the two men who understand our unique musical ethos and have contributed more than anyone to our success - my friends Roger Sanchez and Todd Terry. Working together for the very first time they have both compiled and mixed HardTimes presents The Best of Times Album. HardTimes has always been about modesty. It's about making the most of what we have no matter how tough life can be. When you walk through the doors of the club that's full of like-minded clubbers,
all there to feel the vibe that's created by the DJs and the tracks they play, everything is forgotten.It's a wonderful experience that I've been able to help create. There is no greater feeling than witnessing a mass of people as they shift from listening to feeling the music and watching the club go off. When you connect with the music, that's when the magic happens. We have never been about glitter, gimmicks, bells and whistles. We play house music. That's what we're about. It's always been about the music. History shows HardTimes would be voted Mixmag club of the year and join a very elite group. Both Muzik Magazine and DJ Mag would also name HardTimes the number 1 night in the country.Our Best of Times Album is a true reflection of one of our magical nights. A mixture of old and current tracks that in their own way have all played a part in our success. Our history is our legacy and we are proud of it. However there are still many more magical nights to come and lots more music to make. Once again, thank you to my friends Roger Sanchez, Todd Terry and everyone else who has helped us along the way. There are far too many of you to mention.

12" EP sampler taken from the Nickodemus compiled Turntables on the Hudson Vol. 10 album released at the beginning of the summer. Big A-side cuts include Bonobo's latest anthem "Flashlight" and one of the biggest house tunes of the year, the absolutely massive Beatport chart topping Claptone remix of "Liquid Spirit" by Gregory Porter which sees it's FIRST EVER vinyl release on this 12". On the flip side, South Africa's Aero Manyelo gives us "Tshunga", a driving, pulsing African deep house track, while Pablo Sanchez takes New Zealand's Sorceress into dancefloor territory with his remix of "Brother Dragonfly

If you're in love with retro future sounds you really can't miss it !!

''After releasing his sophomore long player 'We Walked Home Together' through Fiakun, El_Txef_A returns with a series of remix packs on his own newly created label‚ 'Forbidden Colours'. While the first pack - supported by Chloé and Dixon amongst others - brought us the darkest side of the album, the Basque imprint now explores other textures. From the German cult of Ada, to Hrdvsion's analog raw sound, the release also includes a smooth and pleasantly weird Bostro Pesopeo rework. Additionally Good Guy Mikesh projects his unique vision on El_Txef_A's work and Bedouin wraps things up with a mystic and shamanistic feeling. With this second remix pack the label pursuits its aim to be a home for El_Txef_A's musical adventures and a way of sharing his vision.''

We live a life in between exorcism and consumption, stirring up a piece of sh-which might be the forgotten, -the unexpected, -the unusual, -the left behind. Dust as a Metaphor for our repetitive culture, can`t be better chosen to head the Redust' EP on FormResonance. Grainy and with a sixth sense of its pulse, the tracks do emerge into a wide soundstream. Dust hereby transports a piece of wisdom: the sound signature. Knowledge which is inherent in class-a circuits, vinyl, or tape and which can be barely re"produced. Georg Stuby is already a DJ on stage, like Burning Man, Club der Visionäre... He resident in the Zürich Party Scene, teaches at the School of Sound and drops out some nice tips on his own blog: www.georgstuby.com The Redust EP is his debut release. Jonas & Christopher Lawrenz provide their experience with Georgs music, even longer.

The Deep House is the genre of reference that the author aims to customize in his title track 'Say What'. It is a ganglion of rhythm and foggy atmospheres where a voice reproduces a sort of rhyme. It is pretty similar to 'Revenge', where the loop cyclic effect is preferred to another though, and where the voice (reduced to a sharp tip) pierces the four quarters in place of the snare drum. Both tracks are presented in their remixed versions: the first made by Julie Marghilano and the second by Matthew Burton.
