House Vinyl New Releases - News

Trained in jazz guitar, Juxtpose turned to techno after hearing Underground Resistance and Carl Craig interviewed on label boss Ennio Styles' radio show. Before long, Juxtpose was playing alongside Harvey Sutherland and catching the attention of Stacey Pullen, Roska, Martyn, Slam and Horse Meat Disco. 'Technometry' centres around a huge buzzing bassline filled out with jacking drum machine beats, swirling synth pads and a gurgling vocal hook. Christian Vance contributes a raw and driving remix, showing why his skills have been sought out by Derrick May (for a collab in Carl Craig's studio!), Ripperton, Aril Brikha, Tresor and Versatile Records. Swedish keyboard maestro Opolopo (remixer to Gregory Porter and Joey Negro) then turns techno into new jack swing with his funky ghostbusting remix. Also included is 'Boneshaker', a percussive and housier track that lives up to its name, sporting a bassline with the weight to match 80s classics like Adamski & Seal's 'Killer' or Kenny Jammin' Jason & Fast Eddie's 'Can U Dance'.

The bubbling beanie wearing beat producer pops up on XL. Anderson .Paak guests on Glowed Up and the combination is fire. Limited edition 12" of album tracks "GLOWED UP" with "LITE SPOTS" as the b-side.Full album out Early May 2016...TIP!

After emerging from years of seclusion below the Chicago underground last year, Marquis Cooper aka Svengalisghost, returns with all new material recorded this winter somewhere between the woods of North Carolina and the streets of NYC. An advocate in creating what he calls the "Anti-Beat", Cooper takes what he's learned from the traditional machine experimentation of the early pioneers, reconstructs and retransmits the sounds which lie somewhere in the realm of unhinged synth punk or industrial forward-thinking beat electronics. These tracks are truly the essence of HOUSE, and a vicious circle it is.

Cheeky Bed Bugs - Marilips: Knowing the quality of ruff and raw housey sounds that both Fabio Monesi and DJ Octopus are prone to in their tracks, Cheeky Bed Bugs is a collaboration that we have craved for and it comes in a gritty and dancefloor oriented form. Starting off as a warm and funky piece, Marilips soon goes into a puncher with a moving bassline and a reverbed claps while the main sequence taints it with an ominous feel. The whole track is enveloped in an almost burned texture giving it pretty live sound that will heat your feet in the club. Nothing short of a cheeky feel! Rimbaudian - Tonight:
If you check up Rimbaudian¥s work you will soon notice that he has a great feel for fusing sharp rhythmics with warm vocals. Tonight is a profound mixture of well swinged rhythm and emotive piano-synth notes. Playful vocal sections are dancing around in unison while the right amount of stabs and crashes give a subtle but steady and deep tone to it. Whether you apply it like an intro track, morning riser or just an intimate listening tool, this track has all the necessary ingredients for a soulful and melodic experience. Sagats - Raining Days: Raining Days is all about pouring the fat acid droplets on your senses. This massive ride is carried by delaying 707 elements while reappearing 303 is making narrow curves through the storm of repeating rimshots and claps. With this one, Sagats really nails the definition of a pulsating dancefloor monster that contracts and expands throughout the whole length. Mix this with a powerful output system and you have a volatile mixture ready to bring the walls to the ground.
Christian Kroupa - Jackin For Good:
In the last few years Slovenia has spewed some pretty interesting names and Christian is surely one of them. With a wide palette of rich combinations in his tracks he manages to combine different influences and roots into creative mess and Jackin For Good is exactly that. Kicking off with an early 80s elements the track soon gives way under massive bass-synth and later evolving vocals. That 80s root is never lost, not even with the entry of a raw sax sequence stirring everything into a blend of a street colored bouncer. Rough, warm and effective!

We present the final part of the our 10th anniversary trilogy. For the A side one of the most iconic tracks from the Tsuba catalogue gets a very special remix from Dungeon Meat.

Kings of Tomorrow's place in electronic music history is well assured. One of the alias' for New York legend Sandy Rivera, K.O.T. helped define the early 90's New York house sound with a series of key releases that climaxed in 2001 with the global smash 'Finally' - truly one of the house music classics. Happily, Sandy Rivera is still making killer, soulful house music and this latest release on Poker Flat Recordings continues to showcase his immeasurable talent for groove. 'Kaoz' is a bumping, attitude-full jam rich with thick, punchy drums and a driving synth pulse - topped off with a stunning spoken word vocal from Divine Essence. 'Kaoz Dub' does a lot more than strip the track of its main vocal elements - the groove is rebuilt as an edgy, tension-filled underground house banger - breaking down into a devastating bass section. Dario D'Attis - the Swiss born DJ and producer who's also known as The Funk Ensemble - delivers a fine remix that perhaps draws on some the 90's influence that K.O.T. defined, producing a bumping, building epic track that seems destined for heavy rotation amongst those in the know. .

Respected producer and DJ Red Rack'em is due to release his new album 'Self Portrait' this February via his own label Bergerac.

Formed over the course of four years during a "transitional" period after moving to Berlin, 'Self Portrait', as the title suggests, is a true reflection of Danny Berman and his influences.

Red Rack'em has fully mastered his signature blend of house and disco along with his cut and paste attitude to sampling on the forthcoming LP. Crowd noise can be heard from live recordings, whilst hiss and crackle from snippets of Youtube clips add texture - the distinctive repeated vocal on 'Tomato Pope' is from an old heavy South American funk track, gleaned from an obscure DJ mix. It's an approach that is innately tied to the producer, whose love for DJing started out in sample-heavy hip-hop and who taught himself to produce whilst working full time as a television editor.

His talent for writing original vocals stands out elsewhere, on 'You Used To Make Me Feel' "a self dissection of past attitudes to romance". 'Hot Weekend', an early highlight of the album "about tripping your head off with a lover and wondering if the relationship is worth anything" - features the vocal and songwriting talents of City Hayes, a.k.a DJ Flic. A New Zealander now living in Bali, and friend of the producer, the pair are regular collaborators.

Elsewhere, Detroit legend Rick Wade makes his featured vocalist debut on 'The Music' after Berman was inspired by interviewing him on his Smuggler's Inn radio show whilst Rick was staying at his apartment in Berlin. Picking out a section where Rick talked about secretly listening to disco and funk as a child, Danny hit up the deep house pioneer who loved the idea and was happy to be a part of the album.

Much of 'Self Portrait' carries a somewhat cinematic, dreamy quality, with every track having its own personal story. Yet it never loses its sense of fun or danceability, as is evident on the first single, and one of this year's biggest tracks, 'Wonky Bassline Disco Banger'. Played out everywhere by the likes of The Black Madonna, Moodymann and Motor City Drum Ensemble, the quirky hit set expectations high for the upcoming album.

'Self Portrait' is the culmination of years of musical exploration from an artist who started his career as a teenage scratch DJ in a remote Scottish fishing village. He moved onto jungle in Bristol, techno in Edinburgh, and house in Liverpool before finding his sound in Berlin. He spent years teaching music before taking it up full time, and has long been championed by Gilles Peterson. He's been running his tastemaking Smuggler's Inn radio show for a decade with an accompanying label, in addition to Berman's other two labels Bergerac and Nettles. Berman's genuine love for his craft is evident across all these multiple projects.

'I just want to show everyone who I am and what I am about. This is my personality and character and what I believe in. Do you hear what I hear"

It would be fair to say that Hypercolour , the UK label founded by Alex Jones and Jamie Russell , have come a long way since the label's inception 10 years ago.From humble beginnings, to a roster of artists spanning across continents, genres, styles, and sounds, the label curates a very special 16 track compilation album to celebrate ten years of operation , and to capture the essence of the label's ethos and energies that have been at the forefront of the label's output in recent times.Over the years, Hypercolour have represented and nurtured young talent within the house, techno and bass communities, with Jones and Russell enlisting the A&R assistance (and all important extra pair of ears) of Ste Roberts to help steer the label's direction. Household names, such as Maya Jane Coles , Huxley and Mosca , all achieved considerable success on the label with singles that really captured dance music's shift back into the mainstream, with clever, sophisticated and pop-centric house music. Representing a more left of centre sound, the likes of Kris Wadsworth , Glimpse and Tom Demac have developed into artists with a wide sonic palette and career to boot, whilst long serving 'legends' of the scene, such as Luke Vibert (and his Kerrier District alias), Laurent Garnier and Groove Armada have all signed up to the labels vision and direction for well received singles and albums.
A glance at the all-star cast on 'Hypercolour 10 Years' reveals appearances by some of the aforementioned producers (Vibert, Demac) and also presents brand new material from the current crop of musical misfits currently shaping and influencing the Hypercolour sound. A breadth of deep techno, raw and uncompromising house music, frenetic breakbeat and old school flavours are delivered in style by the likes of Roman Flugel , FaltyDL , Matthew Herbert , DMX Krew , Dense & Pika , A Sagittariun and The Analogue Cops . The quality remains at the highest level throughout as tempos and moods dip and dive, with Sebastian Mullaert , Yaleesa Hall X Malin , Gary Gritness , Matt Karmill and Neil Landstrumm all giving us their very best and helping the label move into it's eleventh year in very rude health!

Daze Maxim adds another episode to his practice of long-form explorations, on this his second release for Lisbon's Assemble Music. This time he's joined by a master in this field, Baby Ford, whose remixes over the past few years continue his own distinctive development of extended minimal house trips.
Daze's 'Beginning An Ending' rides a skippy, loose beat for several minutes, the snares and hats gradually opening up as wordless vocalizations exclaim and interject with increasing regularity, the bass bumping contentedly underneath. Pads join the equation for an intricate midsection - evoking memories of Alcachofa-era happy experimentalism that nonetheless fit within Daze Maxim's disciplined and dancefloor-oriented approach.
Peter Ford recasts the original into his now unmistakable soundspace, where the push and pull between front-and-centre rhythmic components and evanescent background atmospherics creates that recognizable but undefinable sense of emotion, felt but unexplained. In Ford's world there isn't anything as simple as a beginning or an end, so the remix provides a valuable counterpoint to the original. Given their now impressive track record, it's no surprise that Assemble Music has pulled off another cohesive statement that works equally on the body and the mind.

Behind one of the most exciting label of this decade (NDATL), is one of the most talented and humble producer of these years. As a big fan of Kai Alce's works, Sounds of the City is happy to welcome Movin' Thru in the catalogue, a superb 2 tracks plate in a pure Alce's aesthetic. Movin' Thru, tittle track sees Byron the Aquarius, the man of the moment and a partner of NDATL's boss performing on the lead synth for a west coast sort of feeling. Very well doneA!

No more pool parties, no more red-hot cars on the road to Miami; with his third release (and second album) on Antinote, Parisian producer D.K. gives his music a new direction.
While his previous 12', Love On Delivery (ATN016), was a perfect soundtrack to your endless nights spent on Outrun on Sega Genesis, Island Of Dreams will more likely incite you to turn on your old Mackintosh and play Myst again.

With Evening Shadows, D.K. slowly unveils a very personal virtual landscape, letting us approach his island of dreams, while Ivory Forest already invites us to loose ourselves in a wood in which the babblings of synthetic birds can be heard. Play On is more of a beach affair, an invitation to rest on numeric sand in front of a digital sunset before a highly melancholic Journey To The Sun and an initiatory dive in a sea of pixels on Memories.

The music on Island Of Dreams is not designed for the dancefloors and Raindrops is the only housy excursion of the record, but it resonates with so much intensity and energy that the song wakes you up from the dream you've fallen into. Finally, High On The Sea, the ethereal conclusion to the album, is not a goodbye song to D.K.'s island for it leaves in your mind a window open onto this synthetic world, to be entered again.

For their 27th release Dame-Music is proud to present the Chicago based duo Innerspace Halflife with "Custom LSE' EP. Akim Murphy and Ike Release, a.k.a Innerspace Halflife, first appeared on Dame-Music with their remix of Anaxander "You saved my Soul' last year.

Following their latest 12 inch LP "Astral Travelling' on Synapsis Records,The Chicago "Smart bar' residents return on Bloody Mary's imprint for their own EP including remix from The Jaydes and Anaxander. With "Custom LSE', Innerspace Halflife delivered a cosmic techno tune spiced up by an acidic bass line and solid drums pattern.

As we gently get introduced to the galactic spirit of the track, chords of atmospheric pads reveal themselves matching perfectly the percussion line keeping the flow running through that journey in an other galaxy.

On the B-side, The Jaydes transformed "Custom LSE' into a a pick time Techno banger keeping the pressure level high with a shortened bass-line filtered sweep through the all length. On his end, Anaxander re-customised the original track by adding rhythmic elements on his own arrangement develloping a moodier temper and increasing the overall speed of the tune.

Kicking off the Bump Sampler is Classic head honcho Luke Solomon, with his remix of Anytime Insanity by Lil' Mark. It features vocals by US based vocalist Allegra Bandy.

Having made his label introduction with his remix of label newcomer Villete's "Rillia", DaRand Land gets to spread out and show off his unique brand of euphoric and uplifting deep house on his debut EP for the label, 'Discover You'. The title track is classic DaRand Land, with bright piano chords, buzzing organs and a thick Chicago house bass line. Siren-like pads fade in and out from the periphery, as electrifying percussion elements come into play. Frank & Tony take a turn and apply their signature style onto the former track, adding a chunkier kick with bright as day claps and hi-hats to propel the track through the opalescent haze draped over the melodic elements. On the flip, "Marcela's Sense" is a blissed out, head down late night affair. Cosmic pads swirl around glistening keys and repressed organ chords, as toms bounce among the steady hi-hat ride, lulling the listener into a state of euphoria. The EP closes out with the atmospheric, peak time Detroit house cut, "Souls Awash". A serpentine bass line runs the show amidst swelling pads and in-your-face kicks and percussion. As with all of his productions, the track shines in the smaller details that float in and out of focus throughout, lending the track's weightier elements an even greater sense of gravitas.
