House Vinyl New Releases - News

Ellum Audio continues on a strong run of form with their fifth release, this time from London underground hero, Eric Volta. The purveyor of dark, lean house and techno returns with 'Believe', featuring UK hip-hop hero D.ablo on vocals. With remixes from Ellum family members Danny Daze & Odd Parents, as well as Tennis, this is a release poised for some serious summer selection.

Title track 'Believe' opens up proceedings with a relentless, Juno-esque baseline, and after the introduction of an incredibly catchy organ hook it becomes quickly clear that this track is begging for a big vocal. Up steps D.ablo who really delivers! The tone of his voice sits beautifully within the mix, and after the warmly welcomed arrival of several shuffly percussive elements and a couple of breakdowns, this one is sure to have the crowd going nuts.

Danny Daze & Odd Parents up the intensity with 'Believe', and take things a little darker; adding a deep rumbling baseline and high pitched strings, and subsequently creating a real sense of drama in the mix. Up next is an offering from Berlin based, co-founder of Life & Death Tennis aka Manfredi Romano, which retains the original organ hook but this time with a more minimal, stripped back approach, keeping the groove locked in through the use of rolling rims, echo'd vocal shots and occasional minimal synth blips.

The other original on the release, 'My Senses & My Window To Your World ', slows things down to a chuggy, cosmic groove. This one burns slowly with airy pads, ghostly vocal moans, and culminates through a slow moving arpeggio to reveal an acid line in the second half.

After gaining much attention for his last release '42 Weeks' on My Favourite Robot, Eric Volta drops this huge release for the summer and Maceo Plex, through his Ellum Audio imprint, shows once again why he is so prominent within the electronic music scene.

Groovy mysterious house music. // Vinyl Only

Ellum Audio are back for another killer release with a double sided, two track bomb which sees Shall Ocin take the A-side and FiberRoot take the B-side. Shall Ocin's 'Lurking Wolves' hits with a thundering bass and driving force with trippy melodies and sonic FX zooming through the atmospherics with powerful impact, while FiberRoot's 'Space Localizer' rumbles and grumbles in the lower end, building into emotive warm keys before kicking straight back into the deep groove.

Originally from Argentina, Shall Ocin aka Nicolas Abalos first started releasing music in 2010 under the name Paneoh on labels such as Bedrock and Connect Four. Now under the name Shall Ocin he releases on labels such as Ellum Audio, Culprit LA, Get Physical and Leftroom Limited.

Hailing from Valencia and still currently calling it home, FiberRoot is also welcomed to the Ellum Audio imprint. With his first release making its mark at the end of last year on MLP Music Label, he's since released on the likes of Sincopat and Restore Music.

Both have been featuring heavily in Maceo Plex's recent DJ sets to great effect..!

Exotic house jams soaked into a romantic tropical feel filtered through a vision of sunset on the sea.

Back with another monster of a release, Ellum Audio bring you four heavy duty remixes of the infectious jam 'New York Is Alright' from TV Baby - a killer track with 'a throb of low-resolution low-end and caustic vocals' - in the words of label boss Maceo Plex. For the A side Blackspun deliver a sensational 'Minimal Mix' and 'Acid Dub', while over on the flip Maetrik injects plenty of groove and Idjut Boys take things into another dimension! All tracks are serious DJ weaponry, each served to dominate the dancefloor in their own way at peak time.

ELL014 comes as part of a joint release with DJ Spun's label Rong Music (USA), who will be releasing the original track plus remixes from Eric Duncan.

Blackspun is made up of Jason Drummond aka DJ Spun and Mark Bell aka Blakkat. Originally from San Francisco but currently residing in New York DJ Spun's journey and career through electronic music began at the birth of House and continues to this day. L.A's Blakkat is a vocalist, producer and first class DJ also working with the biggest names in the business and gracing the decks of the best clubs in the world. Together they make the perfect team with the results clear to see from this special release.

Flying high at the top of his game Eric Erstonel aka Maetrik (Maceo Plex) recently released his DJ Kicks album on !K7 which featured the Blackspun remix.

From their North London studio, Dan Tyler and Conrad McDonnell aka the Idjut Boys have run three record labels and produced their infectious dub-heavy disco sampling house for many more. They formed their first label, U-Star, in '94 on the back of their successful club nights of the same name.

For more than 10 years, Defected In The House Miami mix albums have brought together the very best in new underground house music, championing up-and-coming talent as well as highlighting material from well-established artists. Defected In The House Miami 2017 continues the tradition of forecasting those records that will be heard over and over at the Miami Winter Music Conference, and will remain firm fixtures in the crates of tastemaker DJs throughout the summer.

Midland's anthemic 'Final Credits' and Red Rack'em's oddball 'Wonky Bassline Disco Banger' - here remixed by Eats Everything, Luke Solomon and Lord Leopard - have already established themselves as modern house classics, whilst Franky Rizardo's infectious 'Same Man' and the brooding 'Release Me' by Memoryman (aka Uovo) & Rogue D are amongst those that are set to follow in their footsteps. Defected favourites Sonny Fodera and Kings Of Tomorrow join up for a soulful take on the former's 'Caught Up', whilst 'The Latin Track' by DFTD newcomer Melé does what it says on the tin. Riva Starr turns in some rolling tech with 'Is It True', whilst the emotive deep house of Marie Joly, Black Coffee & Rebecca Murray 'Gratitude' (Pablo Fierro Remix) ensures that the album casts a light through the full house spectrum.

Spread across two expertly-constructed mixes, Defected In The House Miami 2017 is a truly essential collection that brings the Florida sunshine, wherever you may be during the WMC.

49th Floor's night Passage was VIBRAPHONE's first release back in 1992 and was written & produced by TTUSOR member, Stefano Curti. Stefano recorded the music in his own living room in North London in a truly House music fashion. Night PASSAGE is a very stylish elegant & seductive example of Classy Italian Deep House Music, which seems to stand very well the test of time sounding as good and as fascinating today as it did back in 1992. This release contains the analog re-mastered version of the original 4 tracks first released in 1992.

Coyote deliver a standalone EP for Clandestino's second release with the brooding, acidic "Fight The Future" and summery live jam "Engineered Garments".

Fight The Future caters for a ride through the club. Tweaking 303's and bells weave their way round a dynamic 808 rhythm track while the dubbed out FX and melancholic spacey keys reign in the tension, eventually swelling and breaking over a subtle voice pad.
Chida takes things into more late night territory, intensifying the driving groove as the 303's build over a crescendo of thunderous FX sublimely rooted by a deeply cool bass-line.

On the flip side Engineered Garments has live drums and bass hung together with Cuban congas, beachside shakers and slaps & claps while African
marimbas dance atop the poppy piano hook.

The flecked electric guitar coupling with the pulsing lead and Linn drum hits gel into super crisp production perfect for balmy, outside dancing.

Selvy goes for a stripped back rework, the drums and bass coming to the fore as the marimbas are brightened yet sparing allowing the leads to cut through and deliver a polished heads down but hands up dance-floor soaked workout.

Francesca Lombardo has cultivated a sound of her own, one that represents her multi-disciplinary musical background and transcends the dancefloor with ease. Creating emotional narratives via wistful soundscapes, stirring melodies, hypnotic rhythms and her own mesmerising voice distinguishes her from the crowd.

This Italian-born, classically trained musician carved out her own path in electronic music, criss- crossing the globe as a DJ and live performer, whilst building up a formidable back-catalogue of music.

Relentlessly pushing boundaries, her live set which incorporates a group of instrumentalists to compose and conduct intricate productions, as well as her knack as a DJ to combine captivating rhythms and melodies with dramatic stories, are clear examples of this, furthered still by her striking vocals that wash over crowds with waves of emotion.

2012 saw Francesca's first release of many on Crosstown Rebels. Now in 2016, a new phase of her career begins, as she prepares to unveil her debut album, a collection of songs that truly represent the essence of what she's all about, an LP that is forward-thinking, powerful and made from the heart. Live instrumentalists will also feature on this album, merging the world of electronic music with Francesca's classical upbringing, set to uplift and engage people from all walks of life. The outcome is a combination of grand and orchestral compositions, together with subtle, nuanced numbers.

There's no doubt that Francesca's passion and drive to keep innovating in music is unsurpassed and serves as the fuel to keep her inspired, relevant and soundtracking the very best moments of our lives for years to come.

FRANCESCA LOMBARDO RETURNS TO HER ECHOE IMPRINT MID JULY WITH THE 'REMEMBRANCE' EP, COMPRISING TWO ORIGINAL COMPOSITIONS FROM THE ITALIAN ARTIST.

''Echoe's founder Francesca Lombardo graces the label with its latest release, an EP entitled 'Remembrance', which is shrouded in mystique and simmering energy. Evoking images of sand swept dancers and a kaleidoscope of LED lights, this two-track EP draws on the pervasive energy of Burning Man, and merges it with Francesca's own cosmic life-force to deliver a very special pairing of tracks.

The title track 'Remembrance' has a spirited melody at its core, which is mirrored by the bass line. It's all propelled along by sturdy, stomping drums and topped off with a layer of wistful pads. Francesca keeps it simple and hypnotic with this little beauty, a treat for anyone who likes it deep.

On the flipside, we're submerged even deeper with the sombre 'Never Too Far'. A solemn atmosphere is present from the very start, with ominous tension building throughout the intro. As the track is unleashed, Francesca's voice is utilised, punctuating the initial breakdown...an assortment of eerie effects work in tandem with the trundling beats to create a captivating slice of moody technoid funk. Wait for the extended breakdown, too, absolute killer.''

Live and direct from Basel, Switzerland, we're proud to present our next EP on Kolour LTD from talented veteran Shaka.
Shaka's mindset of quality over quantity fit beautifully alongside his demo and the match was undeniable.
This one is chalked full of those deep, underground house vibes; perfect for any setting.

For our fifth release we proudly welcome back 2ND Sequel - presenting his debut album single 'Vibrations'.

2ND Sequel is a rising star that first burst into the producing scene back in 2010 at the tender age of seventeen. Sparkling with talent, his high quality and versatile productions radiate across Deep-House, new school Electronica and old school influences of Pop and Garage creating a stellar sound that's fresh and uniquely original. Any star gazers will see that 2ND Sequel is definitely 'one to watch' and, despite his young age, has a well-eductated musical ear.

After releasing his first vinyl only EP 'Tribute To The Little Things' on Moving Vibrations, it's time to bring more of his musical imagination to light with this identically titled 10inch debut album single 'Vibrations'.

3 psychedelic science-fiction house tracks from inner space, merging vintage and upfront production techniques, for the advanced hours and intelligent crowds.

Silverlining Dubs series continues with another EP of three rareities and the previously unrleased "The 119 Year Wait".

The second part of the 'what about talk about' series by baaz starts with 'owl's night'. A deep house tool with a vigorous bassline, some classic 909 elements, weird vocals and a pumpin' piano chord. 'Those Things' the second Track on the A, infects you with positive vibrations and the magic mood. The B side enters with a remix by the highly skilled producer Michel Bauman under his moniker Soulphiction. He turned the track called K.M.S. into an emotional and strong kicking house tune. A cut for the special moments. The Original is produced by Iron Curtis & Baaz . 90 Bpm, a dippy pipe organ, wooden beats and shaky percussions. (You will find the download Info for the original plus some other goodies in every record sleeve). The last track 'Whatabouttalkabout' is a lush experimental listening slice, prober for the dark and chilly winterdays.

Orbis X is a sublabel of Orbis Records and will be mainly focusing on softer yet often usable as DJ material for the broader mass interested in Electronic music. This sublabel is an extension of Orbis Records softer, more melodical and experimental side. Music will be ranging from house, dub, chicago over melodic acid and even breaks. Not any track makes it to this sublabel if it can't stand on its own and stand the test of time!

Aleksander Zekovski might not ring a bell but it should ring a bell within a few months.
We warmly welcome Moda on OrbisX with his very special and pure analog feel to sound.
Unique, funky, very good arrangements and multi-talented. Nothing more, nothing less.
Someone who deserves to be discovered or at least get a bigger audience.

We re taking the leap of faith with Moda, serving him a full EP to experiment.
The Roots EP was born.
The full EP is a mixture of funky beats with some housy touches with, in some phases, gentle and experimental dirty glitches.
Something to add to your collection. This EP can be played in quirky eclectic DJ sets, lounge bars or just at home with a nice glass of red wine.
Background music while having dinner with friends and you want to serve something special This is one of those special EP s!


Something To Talk About is funky, dreamy and sparks that twitchy leg movement when you doubt if you should be dancing or be slightly head banging to that tune.
That kinda track. Serves well with candles, wine and late night talks.

Under Her Skin might take off on a weird bit quirky dirty start, but when that lead kicks in, ... we were sold.
Extremely funky. Be aware: you can t hold yourself from clapping to this song.

On the B-side, "Winter Tale" counts as the second A track on the EP. Deep! Gentle and yet so snappy in it's own dirty way.
We fell in love from the first note, or should we say that filthy deep baseline, those dirty well mixed-in toms and snappy rude claps!

"Running Man". Well... if you like dreamy catchy house. This is for you.
A nice extra track, making this EP a brilliant pressing.

We can't emphasize the talent Alexander has.
We hope he gets more attention with this EP.
Full support for you Alex.

Two producers, one roving studio, a soundtrack for the ages. Studio OST is the side project of Alvin Aronson (White Material, Nord) and Galcher Lustwerk (White Material, Lustwerk Music). Compiled from jam sessions recorded in various studios in New York between 2012 and 2015, Scenes is a 2x12" traversal of the pair's cinematic audioscape through breezy electro, aquatic dub, high speed jit, and shimmering atmospherics.

Ben Gomori's Monologues Records imprint presents its first vinyl outing: a collection of new tracks and tried-and-tested edits from the vaults.

Melon dons his Je Dàvu guise to bring us 'Don't You Need', a stomping disco work-out that's been heavily rinsed by San Proper and the select few who've been lucky enough to receive a copy over the years. Fellow Amsterdammer Uffe finally unleashes the jazzy, shapeshifting 'Keepon' nearly 50,000 SoundCloud plays later. Vilnius hotshot Ponty Mython goes deep and cute on his woozy, melodic 'Still Afraid Of Bats'. Monologues fave Thorsteinssøn rounds off the package with the chunky, tribal-tinged 'Bang' from his Copenhagen workshop.


The Monologues Podcast sees DJ/producers/live acts mix an hour of their own material, with recent and upcoming guests including Atjazz, Anonym, Rework, Blakkat and Fred Everything.

Support: Maya Jane Coles, Danny Tenaglia, Shadow Child, Shir Khan, Adam Port, San Proper, Doorly, Nachtbraker, Terry Farley, Kraak & Smaak, Golf Clap, Laurence Guy, Toyboy & Robin, Inland Knights, Speaking Minds, Chaos In The CBD, Bill Brewster, Lrusse, Mia Dora, Steve Selador, Michel De Hey, Edwin Oosterwal, Simbad, Komon, Piek, Penguin Prison, Soul Of Hex, JEPE, The Pushamann, Severino + more*

For its first album project, Shipwrec is to release a new full-length album from pioneering electronic producer DMX Krew. Entitled Shape Shifting Shaman, the nine-track album will be released at the end of May with artwork by Doppeldenk.

Ed DMX is best known for releasing six albums on Aphex Twin's Rephlex Records and for spanning styles from breakbeat to techno to electro. He has already released two EPs on the four-year-old Dutch label Shipwrec and now returns with a full-length opus that proves, more than twenty years after first emerging, that few people are as sonically inventive as him.

Of the album, DMX Krew says "I feel like these tracks are more original and have a stronger feeling of my personality in them. When I finished each of these tracks I had a happy feeling that I had done something true to myself and something that represents my best."

Made using old synths, samplers and drum machines, the album immediately grabs your attention with the disco dazzle and magical '80s influenced synth sounds of 'Paradise Grove'. From there more simmering synth patterns and twinkling night skies open out above and around you on 'Strange Harpsikordd' and the retro cosmic stylings of 'Forward March'.

Things take a turn into electro territory on the hurried, bubbling 'Reshaped Waves', 'Fractalus' is gauzy, synth-laden house and 'Love Plus' pings about with plenty of sci-fi lushness. Final tracks 'Future Light Cone', 'Easing into Tomorrow' and 'Track Mood' close the album out with squelchy electro and synthetic disco sounds that fire your every synapse and awaken your every nerve.

Reporting that he is always making and releasing music but tends to save back his best tracks for a full length project, Shape Shifting Shaman is just that - a collection of all killer material with great cover design and excellent mastering.

After Dorisburg's hypnotic journey we give you the return of Genius of Time! A-side Gliese 581g is an analogue tribute and journey to the newfound planet in the Gliese star system, far, far away.

Vincent Inc & his Manuscript LTD label are releasing some superb and highly collectable music from the vaults. Vincent Inc's desire to present so many years of music in a coherent way led to the decision to release a series of deep house releases, combining forgotten back catalogue classics with new timeless tracks. Now, Vincent Inc provides the next in a series of glimpses into the label's historic brilliance. These are not usual EP, where an ego is the focus, but a spontaneous venture, setting a new standard to how get deep creative music mind. And Deeper than DEEP's instalment is one you don't want to miss!

Following his release on Perlon as Alter Mahnn, collective member Ion Ludwig signs Toi.Toi's 4th release. The EP brings two tracks carefully chosen and crafted. Rather than having the dance floor as a drive they are rather more mind driven, a very mature EP.

'Not 'For You'- This track, from the very beginning, manages to create a tension, a rather pleasant tension, a constancy is built and it does keep giving very slowly, building up to be an amazing jam suiting a dance floor as well as an inner moment of peace.

'Are We For Real' brings a very slick groover. It brings a very delicate and extremely classy straight hihat leading the way at the forefront while the mind is grabbed by the musicality through a beautiful melody in addition to many hypnotic noises in and out.

Washington based Jackson Ryland is a relatively new name on the house and techno scene. Primarily known as a music critic for the blog 'Peanut Butter & Jams', Ryland has now donned his production hat and is turning out some jams of his own.

The title track 'Crystal City' shows a real understanding of the techno aesthetic, combining cathedral like atmospherics with rough, raw and rugged drums. The Italian tape saturation master Steve Murphy (Lobster Theremin/Chiwax/Wilson) is employed to remix the title track. Murphy brings the track back in to the realms of house and sprinkles it with his analogue know how to turn in a sub rumbling interpretation.

On the flip side Ryland picks up where he left off, this time incorporating the soundscapes of early drum and bass in to 'JP's', whilst retaining the aggressive techno drums. The EP is rounded off with 'Up the Shelf' and almost speed-garage bassline and syncopated drum pattern make up the core of the track, whilst Ryland's eerie atmospheres cement the EPs overall sound.

After the last Vinyl Release in 2009, Soap Records now welcomes the 12" lovers with a new blasting four track Ep.
The Maxi features on the A Side the Track ,,Pending" by Mikel, from which we already heard of on labels like Plastic City, Grove on and also Soap records. The track has a remarkable Glower and a bassline just fitting for the coming Winter. Almost unnecessary to mention that with the break, the dancefloor begins to escalate. Furthermore with a remix from Markus Fix we look forward to a artist which we already know through huge releases on Cecille and Cocoon Records. With his special Interpretation he brings it to finish with Hit-Potential.
Even if a track is still actual after 15 years, one should still re-publish it. No quote, much more a Statement which fits perfect with the EP, which we are handling with here. Mushrooms still sounds not a bit old fashioned, even after that long time.
Therefore on the B Side as a Re release the Meat vs Einzelkind Remix which already received a lot of remarks in 2008.
Meat is known as one of the owners of the Disclabel Freebase in Frankfurt, who also made his name with releases on Moonharbour and Souvenir. Together with Einzelkind he published many succesfull EP´s for Get Physical Music.
The project Einzelkind on his own has also releases on Playhouse and Kindisch. In their remix they first deconstruct the spoken Vocals and build up a stand-alone baseline with effectice Ride usage. The vocals get going after the middle of the track. This develops a remarkable Charme on its own. For the finish of the whole Labelchief Toni Rios, known through releases on Cocoon rec, Kompakt and Kling Klong, just to mention a few, and Chris Wood, known as Co-Producer and partner of Meat with releases on Moonharbour and Souvenir, coming through with the Track ,,Inception". A deep, groovy and straight-House-Stomper, which brings a great EP to a even greater finish.

The first place the world heard the lead track from this new Love Notes from Brooklyn release, "Where Pathways Meet", was on Deep House legend Mike Huckaby's My Life with the Wave show volume 2. Pascal Viscardi was one of many great artists to take Huckaby's warm tones and turn them into a work of art. "Pathways..." wriggles with deep funk and soul, and is paired with 3 other likeminded tracks for this very well-rounded EP. "Oshakusan" is the dancefloor track, juxtaposing warm chords and an insistent sax sample over the a tough bassline and rhythm combination that's aimed staight at the floor. "Free at Dawn" is the fathoms deep effort, going miles below the surface in a emotional expression of soul, and "And I Showed the Clouds (How to Cover Up a Clear Blue Sky)" provides a perfect outtro, and end to the statement made, making this EP feel truly complete.

Vinyl Only!

After five well-respected digital releases with the likes of Frazer Campbell and Iuly.B, Munster/Berlin based OneGroove Records drops its first vinyl release with 3 friendly minimal groovers. Very playful rimshot madness by Iuly.B on side A, Floegel and Retza keeping it dubby on the flipside.

For more than 10 years, Defected In The House Miami mix albums have brought together the very best in new underground house music, championing up-and-coming talent as well as highlighting material from well-established artists. Defected In The House Miami 2017 continues the tradition of forecasting those records that will be heard over and over at the Miami Winter Music Conference, and will remain firm fixtures in the crates of tastemaker DJs throughout the summer.

Midland's anthemic 'Final Credits' and Red Rack'em's oddball 'Wonky Bassline Disco Banger' - here remixed by Eats Everything, Luke Solomon and Lord Leopard - have already established themselves as modern house classics, whilst Franky Rizardo's infectious 'Same Man' and the brooding 'Release Me' by Memoryman (aka Uovo) & Rogue D are amongst those that are set to follow in their footsteps. Defected favourites Sonny Fodera and Kings Of Tomorrow join up for a soulful take on the former's 'Caught Up', whilst 'The Latin Track' by DFTD newcomer Melé does what it says on the tin. Riva Starr turns in some rolling tech with 'Is It True', whilst the emotive deep house of Marie Joly, Black Coffee & Rebecca Murray 'Gratitude' (Pablo Fierro Remix) ensures that the album casts a light through the full house spectrum.

Spread across two expertly-constructed mixes, Defected In The House Miami 2017 is a truly essential collection that brings the Florida sunshine, wherever you may be during the WMC.

Dropping his debut release on Super Flu's burgeoning Monaberry label, the shadowy but talented young force - whose name is also seemingly based upon the ill fated Victor Talking Machine company that produced the very first gramophone record players - fuses his feudal, rural experiences of Antarctic life with an arsenal of sound and texture on his refreshing 'Abby' EP.

Taking a strict mantra of 'digital is death', Viktor brings his expressive and deep sound through a selection of analogue instruments, galvanising his off kilter, alternative dance floor tomes with soundscapes and refreshing, naturalised washes of ambience and effect. Title track Abby - with its hollowed echoes and radar blips, sets the tone in minimal, ethereal fashion before gentle, crisp percussion brings tempo and rhythm, before snapping hi hats and bubbling, pulsating bass drive the track into the heart of any given dance floor.

Sven Tasnadi brings a hyper compressed analogue remix, stripping back the percussive elements and bringing the bass timbres to the fore, while Martin Waslewski comes up trumps on his equally ethereal take on Abby, but hardened by resonating drums, staunch kicks and a more perky, house purist approach on the original. Finally, Viktor awakens his machine once more Torrfel playing with fluctuating gusts of harmonics before acidic, hypnotic top line melodies bang heads with bubbling bass and stomping swing.

South Street follow up their debut release with the mysterious Yaki Incipient.
Two disco house cuts strictly for the dance floor.

Includes a tape test locked groove and a secret track.

Early support from Frits Wentink, Malin Genie & WOLF Music.

Following on from the successful release of 'Basic Colour Theory: Remixed' in March, Catz n' Dogz announce their latest EP 'Upsi Bubsi'. The duo's first release of 2016 welcomes the New Year in true Catz n Dogz fashion with two tracks EP is a fruitful twist of cosmic melodies mixed under the duo's trademark heavy tech-house styled bass and percussion. The EPs' opening and title track 'Upsi Bubsi' is a certified floor filler from the get go. The track opens with a thunderous mix of 909 loops alongside a repeated throb of intense arpeggiated bass. The track is peppered with splurges of crashing cymbals, rolling toms and the hypnotic looped vocal whispering 'don't stop'; a track clearly engineered for the dance floor. As the track builds, we are greeted with Egyptian styled keys, an unusual choice of sounds for most indeed, but a skill that we have become accustomed to in many of the duo's productions. 'Elixir' offers a different experience to its counterpart with a collage of rising melodic chords and an 808 break beat. The track is a beautiful arrangement of graceful choir sounding melodies over warm sub-bass chords, seemingly inspired by early 90's Detroit. The track takes full form introducing tribal drum patterns alongside splashes of keys and styled cosmic percussion. The track is a testament to the producer's creative prowess, showcasing their broad abilities to tackle all styles and genres of dance music. This release undoubtedly highlights Catz N' Dogz' arsenal of talent in creating two very unique but equally as strong productions. Both possess the quality and pedigree of the duo's back catalogue and are set to command the globe's top dance floors.

Fall into a dream state, leave your body, here we go... Fresh from launching his 909 Til Infinity with Option 4 and storming BPM so hard he was identified by Pulse Radio as one of the key breakthrough acts of the Mexican festival, MANIK returns to Ovum with more visceral, physical slabs of straight-up tech funk. 'Recourse' is special. Teaming up with LA word-painter Cari Golden, his fluctuating, body-popping groove is peppered with barbed purring poetry that's part existential, part party, all unique: Cari matching MANIK's every bobbing bass texture, MANIK matching Cari's every observation, everything about 'Recourse' is distinctive, exciting and full of fresh energy. Momentum maintained throughout; things take an unexpected dubby twist as the 'VHS' shimmers and ripples with synth insistency. Rolling hi-hats, hip-snapping clap attacks and a timeless vocal shot build around each other, occasionally revealing a fully-juiced bassline swinging and rolling with total consistency. 'Los Angeles Dub' is straight up jack, no chaser: a grainy, analogue moment of total unabashed machine-melting funk. Don't be fooled by the title's locale; we could be in any party city at any period of time in the last 30 years and this will cause the same frenzied moves. MANIK's been delivering the goods for several years, but even by his standards this is another level. Something tells us BPM isn't the only thing he'll be breaking through this year.

We are very happy excited to reveal to you the next installment of Alfresco Disco records. Seka is a close friend and has played and raved at many of the Alfresco Disco parties.
Not only a great selector, here he clearly demonstrates he is no slouch in the studio either. From his studio in the heart of Bristol, Seka has used an analogue approach and his trusty MPC to carve out three satisfying, sample heavy house cuts that are unique and full of character.On the remix duties we enlisted the Portugese Maestro Tiago, a resident at the brilliant Lux club in Lisbon who brings a live, percussive vibe to the release.
Enjoy!

A year after his first release on the label, German deepsmith Sven Weisemann is back on Delsin with a sophomore effort entitled Separate Paths. Down for his moody outings on labels like Mojuba and Telrae, this new four track affair continues to mark out the man behind it as a master of atmosphere. Grooves floating in mid air and subtle melodies drift by like half remembered thoughts. Head music that also makes your body move. It may only be four tracks long, but this EP truly takes you on a journey somewhere far away from this world.

The Dome Das ist die Chartparty der Megastars und auch bei der Folge 81 haben wir die Gästeliste randvoll mit den großen Namen der Charts gefüllt. Chainsmokers + Clean Bandit + Alan Walker + Martin Garrix + Rag´n Bone Man + Alessia Cara + Sean Paul feat. Dua Lipa + Robin Schulz & David Guetta feat.

This classic deep house jam was huge in its original form when it landed on SOM Underground back in 2000, and then it went on to receive the remix treatment from artists as widely respected as 2000 & One and Christopher Groove. Aside from the official remixes, the likes of Luciano took the accapella for a ride and created infamous bootlegs that took the scene by storm, whether soundtracking an intimate club throwdown or a blissed-out Ibiza terrace moment.

Now, more than fifteen years on from the original release, it's time to revisit a stone cold classic and call in a fresh interpretation. Berlin-based Tony Lionni has already scored countless essential deep house releases for Freerange, Madhouse, Modelisme, Mule Musiq and Versatile amongst many others. His warm, slow-grooving approach suits the mood of Pachanga's laconic vocal delivery perfectly, but behind the mellow veneer there's a powerful, soundsystem-ready punch to the track that demonstrates why Lionni has risen to be such an in demand producer over the years...

After their first big 'Things I Didn't Mean' EP on Dirt Crew back in 2013 the Cali boys Urulu & Steve Huerta teamed up again for another release full of bliss Deep House cuts. Both relocated to Berlin last year and have since then been extremely busy with their solo output on labels like 'Let's Play House", 'Needwant", 'Shabby Doll' and Urulu's own imprint 'Amadeus". Here they are giving us a clean cut of both their styles, combined it is truly an all original blend of deep and raw House music. The A side features two club bangers while the B side explores the deeper side of things with more laid back vibes and dubbed out jazzy elements. One of our personal favourites is the irresistible D.E.G.L. that best describes the 'Urulu & Huerta' Sound. All in all the guys managed to deliver a well rounded package with all elements a good EP needs. We are quite sure this new release will be a great follow up to their successful first EP that Became a Dirt Crew Classic and one of our best selling tracks ever.

For the 7th release on Love On The Rocks, we welcome the Mexican duo Zombies in Miami for a three track EP titled Snake Language'. The title track is a raw an haunting drum heavy number. On the flip comes Calo' with its twisting riffs that wind and turn alongside percussive interludes. Yamo' changes the pace but is no less impressive with climactic flutes and a driving bass line. El Fuego completes the release as a digital exclusive. With this EP, the Zombies in Miami are literally on fire!

When tripping around, sight becomes blurred, sound turns to noise, but scent remains genuine. Attractive or repulsive they stimulate the everyday. The equilibrium is essential. 'Scented Trip' mimics this balance between monotony and interest for you to feel. Hooks and harmonies drive one side, while repetition pushes the flip.
