House Vinyl New Releases - News

Ja, das vierzehnte Studioa lbum von Northern Lite ist erstmals in 23 Jahren Bandgeschichte auf Deutsch. Ja, es klingt durch die unverwechselbare Stimmfarbe von Andreas Kubat auf magische Weise vertraut, aber auch hier und da nach Deichkind , Frittenbude , oder 2 Raumwohnung. Ja, auch ein wenig nach Rammstein und The Weeknd . Ja, worauf sollten sie auch noch warten, was gibt’s in dieser Welt für eine B and die seit einem Vierteljah rhundert durch die internationale Musik landschaft geistert zu verlieren? Ja, die Welt hat sich für uns alle geändert, ja, auch für Northern Lite.

Yet more fresh heat from the Soundscape Versions camp and this time round with a special tentrack compilation by different artists across the globe with wide scope of electronic music produced and performed using all analog hardware gear. Release comes out on
c70' cassette and digital.

Cold Beats Records is delighted to announce the launch of series Another Cold World. This time with a 12″ EP the composed with 4 tracks including DILK, WLDV, Dernier Sex and Hanging Gardens, keeping the label’s philosophy, we have once again united groups and artists that stand out within the minimal/synth/coldwave scene.

Die Orakel presents the ORKL-0114 series: Three 12" white-label vinyl releases produced by Frankfurt based artists 386i, Benjamin Milz and Koga as a tribute to Sheffield's bleep techno era.

The final chapter in the D.K. trilogy has arrived adorned in a hooded cloak. Sword by his side, the warrior master is rising. This time taking a decidedly darker and determined approach, D.K. is here to fight the final battle - and make it out alive.

The EP opens with the aptly titled Storm Of Steel. An industrious cold front brimming with metallic clangs and resonant tubes. You can hear lightning strikes in the snares and thunder in the bass. In Frozen Sword, the tropes synonymous with this trilogy are neatly tied together again as D.K. opts for glass tubes, gated snares and deep rhythmic baselines. This second track is an epic battle song, conjuring Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon / quasi-Matrix fight scenes.

Racing the clock to crack the code in Code Breaker, alarm sirens sound off in the background as if D.K.’s plans have been foiled. It’s not until a flute motif at 4:14 that you realise our protagonist, all along, had an ace up his sleeve. The EP’s closing and title track Rising is a melancholic/euphoric dance between D.K.’s warrior’s emotions of what was won, but also what was lost.

After almost a year GOSU’s back with two split releases,
curated by Jane Fitz ! First one by DOM and Darren Allen:

DOM’s „Snake Totem“ - his first vinyl release so far - is an
absolute spaced out House weapon! „The Odd Man“ on the flip
by Darren Allen is a deeper but nevertheless grooving tune.

After having been heavily played by the likes of Ricardo Villalobos, Zip, Nicolas Lutz , Fumiya Tanaka and Margaret Dygas, the first and only Protectorate record (released exclusively on vinyl in the spring of 2009) quickly became a sought-after rarity.

10 years after, the Analogue Cops has decided to reactivate the collective’s output with four new tracks enclosing minimalistic afterparty fervor, contemporary Berlinesque electro, post-capitalist breakbeats, and luxury tech-house.

Cutting edge cuts crafted with a balanced ensemble of vintage and up-to-date machines, with an unfathomable attention to solidity and detail.

""Dad! Look, we can see the moon through the window."

Record made on Earth. All children, young and old, you will hear my heart here without a stethoscope. This record is "home-made with a window open to the world". Inspired by my family and friends, these music tracks are dedicated to them!" The Architect

The Architect takes us on a trip through the world and styles: Hip Hop, Jazz, Electro, Soul, Funk... A true vinyl lover and real digger, turntables have always been his favorite playground. Hyperactive beatmaker, he is also engaged with different side projects such as L’Entourloop and Bloc.

The success of his first EP "Foundations" released in 2013, including several hits such as "Les Pensées" (8M views) or "Dreader Than Dread (ft. Skarra Mucci & L'Entourloop)" (15M views), led him to do more 200 shows around the world and accumulate more than 35M of streams on the platforms.

Seven years later, The Architect finally returns with a new single "Darling", the first single from his long-awaited new album entitled “Une plage sur la lune” to be released on June 12th, 2020. A "home-made album with a window open to the world" as he describes it himself.

The wait is ¦nally over. IBI001 was born. T_NO, the artist,
makes his debut with this disc. You can expect four solid
tracks between house, techno and electro. There is also a
very club-friendly DJ Balduin remix to be heard on the record.
Lean back, relax and prick up your ears. That's just the
beginning!

Repress in Green Vinyl!

Lunar Disko Records begins 2012 with a milestone 10th release from local hero Automatic Tasty, aka Jonny Dillon. The 'Strange Terrain EP' is the eagerly anticipated follow up to his debut 12 'In It For The Money' on LDR.

It's Jooice, it's DMC, it's super good !

Full printed sleeve with illustration artwork. Limited run of 100 vinyl copies only.

Having collaborated with Umwelt on the earlier Mothership compilation (an allied Midnight Shift x Voitax production), the German producer is now handed the reins for full creative curation over the course of six tracks with features from close pals NGLY and Cressida.

Awash with a palate of dark and broken sounds yet with touches of warmth and humor, 'Soothing Songs For A Cultured Affair', burrows deep into the mind of the Voitax label boss. Lending from a rich musical upbringing, we witness the evolution of breakbeat and electro as seen through the eyes and ears of a producer at one with his machines.

Shadow Acid follows up breakbeat debut Timescape with The Shadow Acid Files EP.

The mysterious Shadow Acid figure comes back at the end the year to present more of his sound with four new tracks, a remix from Hamburg based duo Extrawelt and a heady resource of locked grooves for vinylist DJs.

Shadow Acid’s sound marries acid futurism and references to the 90s rave, anything goes ethos of the past. It’s a sound that has rightfully earned the enthusiasm of a wave of music fans and DJs across the summer and has been played across BBC6 Music, Rinse FM and the streaming platforms around the world.

For those who missed the highly desirable promo 12” an EP version of the track ‘Timescape’ is included here and an extraordinary Extrawelt remix develops the mechanics of the breakbeat and drops the bass down even to deeper levels than on the driving force of the original. Across new tracks Brainforest, Diode Ladder, Another Chance and Seahawk, Braindance acid is melded with bass, ultimately made with dancing at their core.

This re-released the first track of The Micronauts, "Get Funky Get Down", accompanied by his remix by Daft Punk (The first they ever did!). Both were originally released in 1995 on the London label Phono (which Also discovered Matthew Herbert, Morgan Geist and Freaks aka Luke Solomon & Justin Harris ...). Never before reissued, the original version makes a comeback noted for two years in the playlists of the diggers of London, Berlin or Brussels ... Notably those of Jamie Fry, English DJ living in Berlin, who realized for the occasion the "J Dubs Edit ", in line with the sound of his 100% vinyl sets (Jamie is the producer of the famous Stablo series, which Can reach 100 € on Discogs, and co-directs with Radio Slave the label The Double R). In conclusion of this EP is the "Nature's 1994 Cassette Version", totally unpublished and recovered as its name On a tape recorded in 1994.

Knapp vier Jahre liegt Lorenzo Sennis gefeierte "Persona EP" (Warp) inzwischen zurück, seither hat der Mailänder Künstler weiter an
seiner einzigartigen "Rave Voyeurismus"-Perspektive gefeilt, die Dance-Szene aus einer Außenseiterperspektive wie durch einen
Spion betrachtet und diese Eindrücke weitergedacht.

Melodien, Motive und Anflüge von Trance, Rave, Pop, ja selbst
aus der Klassik tauchen in digitalisierter Form auf, reduziert und nur noch als binäre Schnappschüsse erkennbar.

Das Cover-Artwork zeigt eine pittoreske kalifornische Sonnenuntergangsszenerie des US-Fotografen John Divola, aufgenommen durch einen kaputten Fensterrahmen. Es spiegelt die Herangehensweise von Senni wider, der in seinen Kompositionen keineswegs die existierenden Formen von Dance Music zerstört, aber sie vandalisiert und verwüstet, sie zerschlägt und dann mit den Bruchstücken Schach spielt, so neue Spannungen aufbaut, die letztlich doch wieder in Auflösung münden. "Scacco Matto" ist das Schachmatt. Der Punkt, an dem Arbeit, Strategie und kreative Taktik kulminieren.

It’s the start of a new era for the cobbers, as they present their first compilation of 100% original music. Cementing the label’s New Age Italo manifesto, these four tracks straddle neon-tinted nostalgia and sleek futurism. Sounds from yesteryear, for the dancefloors of tomorrow.

This dichotomy is clear on opener ‘Silicon Horizon’, a propulsive banger from Kayroy which draws inspiration from the threshold of the digital age, evoking the rush of a nighttime race through city streets on a Tron bike.

The anthemic ‘Make Italo Disco Great Again’ gives tune to the phrase brandished by DJs such as Skatebård. Romain FX faithfully celebrates the ongoing Italo legacy with appropriately tuneful synths and cheesy lyrics, courtesy of vocalists Guido Balboa & Annika.

On the flip, German synth-wave fanatic Compilerbau delivers an atmospheric masterclass with ‘Raindance’. Here, intricate percussion and retrofuturist synth-scapes create an adrenaline rush of a track which could easily be the theme song from a lost 80’s action movie.

GREETINGS completes the release with ‘Time Is A Thief’, a bombastic trip to the Paradise Garage complete with piano stabs, a throbbing bassline and enough cowbell to cure any fever.

Another limited vinyl-only release, get yours quick before these boots have all danced off the shelves.

Future Tones Records is back with some new and fresh local artists from Barcelona. After the first EP we are proud to announce the Various Artists 'From The Future Vol. 1'.

A side brings a very useful dancefloor tracks, there some notes of acid basslines and hipnotic sounds by Fadout with her Salad fingers and the A2 comes with Panichouse by Fdez, a simple 4x4 with a fat basslines.

B side starts with an old and good Friends as Formas & Aleexe with his Phakir, a morning weapon. And to close the EP, one of cofounders On Jetlag, brings a deepness story called 31 Días.

For our second release we follow up with something special from Dutch duo D&S. Here they present 4 live jams from Deeper electro tinged sonics to something a little more jacking and on to something stunningly emotive.....perfect for differing times of the day and night.

Everything has its right moment in space and time. And Rhode & Brown’s debut album “Everything in Motion” is no exception to this rule.

But first things first:
Hailing from Munich, Germany, Friedrich Trede and Stephan Braun are the DJ and producer duo Rhode & Brown. Growing up in two neighbouring villages near Munich both of them had been music enthusiasts since their early childhood. Friedrich played drums in punk bands at school and recorded rap songs in his bedroom, while Stephan, as childhood friend of Harold Faltermeyer's son, had the chance to experiment in the impressive studio of the legendary Donna Summer producer in his early teens.

By the late 2000s older friends started supplying them with DJ mixtapes and helped them sneak into clubs they weren’t allowed to visit, yet – cultivating their love for electronic music and club culture. And, of course, the Internet was their go-to source for finding the latest blog house tunes back then, too.

It wasn’t until October 2009 that their paths would cross for the very first (but almost last) time when introduced by a mutual friend: Back then Stephan was selling his old CDJ-player and Friedrich, who wanted to hone his DJ skills, ended up buying it: „When I got home and unpacked the player I realized that it was the wrong model. I thought Stephan was trying to rip me off - so I called him in a rage and demanded my money back.“ Friedrich laughs. To cut a long story short, the two met again the same evening, money and CD-players were exchanged, but luckily so was their passion for house and disco music. It was at that very moment that Rhode & Brown was born.

A lot has happened since the two played their first gigs together and made baby steps in music production. In the past 10 years they established themselves as one of the most reliable house producers around with rock solid releases on Toy Tonics, Shall Not Fade, Public Possession or their own Slam City Jams imprint. As well as becoming a household name in the DJ world, sharing the booth with the likes of Palms Trax, Dam Swindle, Jamie Tiller or Octo Octa - spreading their infectious "Dancing Deejays" vibes around the globe.

Following the great reception of last years „Aku Aku“ EP, June 2021 will see the release of Rhode & Brown’s debut album on Permanent Vacation. A record that showcases their open minded approach to making music and a passion for the nuances between genres - „We found inspiration for this album in all corners of our record collection. That means we are as much influenced by disco or 80s synth-pop as by house and techno of the last decades or the latest viral trap hit on Spotify“, the guys say.

On "Everything In Motion" you'll hear piano house / Italo disco hybrids alongside dreamy Balearic soundscapes and '90s-infused acid breakbeats flawlessly accompanying '80s synth pop anthems. Always infused with that signature Rhode & Brown magic. The album also finds them collaborating with some of the finest vocalists of the moment: Peaking Lights' own Indra Dunis is lending her voice to the title track for this special laid back California vibe, while Berlin's hottest export DJ City evokes a neon light romance affair on "Memory Palace", with a longing poem that makes you wander the rainy streets at night with your walkman on.

At a time when suddenly everything seems to be standing still, Rhode & Brown undeterred moving forward... true to their LP’s title.

This is not a repress. These tracks have been re-mastered by the talented Stefan Betke (Pole) using Tube-Tech compressors and Weiss EQ's. That's a big step up from the way we did it back in 2003! I present this to you on 180 gram black vinyl. Sincerely, Mathew Jonson

Toronto based producer Cosmic JD signs Varme's fifth release with an EP titled “Plant Algebra” - an incursion into his vast sonic spectrum, ranging from steady 4/4 club oriented tunes to breakbeats and electro inspired musical themes.

Eight slices of balls-to-the-walls Baltimore Breaks receiving their first vinyl re-issue.

With his deep musical education, Daniel Varga produced under many pseudonyms (Soda), (Borneo und Sporenburg), (Cybordelics) formed in Stuttgart in 1993, (REWORK) or by Toni Mono released on F Communications in 1995, a disc that haunted the dancefloors of the time. Besides countless releases of his compositions, and numerous remixes, he has also contributed to the music of numerous film projects. One of the favourite discs of the founders of the label.

Manifattura Tabacchi is a former cigar and cigarette production site that is having a renaissance thanks to an innovative urban regeneration project.

Back in June, the Bosconi Records crew rocked up there for a live hardware jam session featuring an array of musicians from the label including Fabio Della Torre on the mixer and Dukwa, Ennio Colaci, Herva, Mass Prod, Rufus, The Clover on the instruments with the special participation of A Guy Called Gerald.

Now comes the record with the exceptional results all pressed to wax.The selected tracks follow the order of execution which has naturally developed in a crescendo from 130 to 180 BPM, and then closes by slowing down with a take at 110BPM.

Opening up the EP is ‘130 - Tuning’, which is cosmic house music with freeform jazz synth lines that take you into the next dimension. ‘138 - Gang Up' is harder hitting, with punchy drums and lithe sci-fi synth lines darting in all directions. 138 - Swinging’ explores a broken beat style with spinning hi hats and intergalactic funk of the highest order. ‘150 - Snappy’ then picks up pace with corrugated drum lines and twanging guitars freaking you out, and ‘180 - Blowing’ is a hyper-driven experiment with old school dusty jungle beats and gloopy synths while ‘110 - Offhand’ is a deeper, more thoughtful track with whispered vocals and a dreamy vibe.

This is adventurous electronic music that goes well off grid, plays with strange temps, weird textures and occult moods and is utterly original as a result.

As Fabio Della Torre, Corcos last solo release on his much-respected Bosconi label came out in 2012. Almost seven years later, Della Torre reprises the alias here, returning to his home label in stunning fashion courtesy of the sumptuous, brilliant and always innovative sounds of Bosco042.

We kick off with 'What's the Case', a hypnotic, minimal wiggler that maintains a strong after-hours vibe throughout the course of its 7-and-a-half minutes. A trippy voyage into the producer's more restrained and foreboding side, it's a slick, sleek excursion that's full of multiple twists and turns throughout. Weird but most definitely wonderful, it's sure to go down a treat with discerning DJs especially, with its swinging groove sure to prove a particular treat.

The B side then kicks off via 'Down on Time', an unrelenting, jacking cut that's indicative of the early work of minimal techno pioneer, Robert Hood. A jacking, booty-shaking jam that features more than its fair share of oldschool vibes, this track is indicative of a side that the producer rarely showcases — but one that he's evidently more than capable of showcasing. Rough, ready and most definitely effective, it features the Bosconi owner at his up-tempo best.

'Monster Knight' culminates the EP courtesy of an uplifting, electro-inspired jam that's catchy and banging throughout. Notable for its elastic baseline and flashy, rhythmic elements, it brilliantly closes a fantastically eclectic EP that demonstrates three sides of the producer's sound in some fashion.

- Low but Why? Said the guy with the spasmodic regard

"Cosmic Shit" is the debut EP of Chronic, Mazette Records' founders.

The french duo produces a progressive EP that goes from deep house music with acid influences to minimal or even broken rhythms.

A long journey and long months of work to finally bring a new touch to the house music that we know so well.

Cosmic Shit reminds of this craze they have for electronic music that pushed them to see this far. For them, it's the beginning of a new era.

Coming to the table with a fresh mutant sound, Darker Than Wax is proud to welcome Leeds-based artist Captain Over to our sonic universe with his Deep Blue EP. A solo project from one of the minds behind the band Paper Tiger, Captain Over represents a firm focus on dancefloor experimentation, blending the sounds of grime, broken beat, house, and LA beat music to create an entirely new beast. Much like the chess-playing supercomputer of the same name, ‘Deep Blue’ occupies a space between electronic weight and the human touch, fusing together icy digital synths borrowed from grime with off- kilter grooves and jazzy motifs.

Following a string of releases led by vocal tracks with grime MCs, ‘Deep Blue’ is the first fully instrumental offering from Captain Over, lending the artist a platform to make a strong statement about his creative vision and technical prowess. From the expansive arrangement of ‘4D’ to the duelling sci-fi synths on ‘Mind’s Eye’, the Deep Blue EP is a deeply creative yet functional record, signalling a bright future for the Captain Over project.

Mat Playford brings his ethereal, techno soundscape to Carl Cox and Christopher Coe's Awesome Soundwave imprint. Taken from his forthcoming album on the label, Playford invites Detroit dons Octave One to provide the remix.

'I'm over the moon to have Octave One remixing my work, and to be able to share the start of this project with people. I've enjoyed making it immensely and I'm incredibly grateful to Carl Cox and Chris Coe for the opportunity and support.'
- Mat Playford

Already being supported by the legendary Carl Cox in his DJ sets, Kic 8462852 takes its name from a celestial object that was discovered a number of years ago. The original mix of the track is every bit as otherworldly as its namesake. It's a techno escapade into the outer realms with dreamy and melancholic synths, and pulsating drum pads that push it ever forward. Octave One take the track even further into techno orbit, stripping back some elements and giving full focus to that pounding bass line.

Mat Playford's love affair with music began from a very early age. His long and illustrious career has seen him earn not one but two DJ Mag Best Of British nominations as well as holding down a residency for iconic Ibizan brand We Love Space for more than half a decade. 2019 will see Playford forge ahead with his third studio album, Solar, also signed to Awesome Soundwave, and perfecting his live show that will incorporate a dizzying abundance of synthesizers set into a table hand carved out of a fallen tree, found and crafted by Playford himself.

Octave One need little introduction. The irrepressible force of brothers Lenny and Lawrence Burden have produced timeless hits that soundtracked a generation. They've released a slew of club hits on their own 430 West imprint as well as Underground Resistance and Derrick May's Transmat.

First part of the Drexciya re-issue series - well recommended!! Killer comp of the finest Detroit based electronics from the heads at Clone.. hat's off to them! TIP!

Drexciya might need an introduction for some, for others it is the most influential techno/electro project ever. Part of the heritage of Detroit's Underground Resistance, Drexciya explored techno music like no-one else before.
Raw and uncompromising music that reflects the harsh environment of the city where Drexciya was conceived. The aesthetics and the mythical approach combined with the unique music made this one of the biggest cult projects in techno music. Drexciya arguably stands for the darker side of techno and electro, music not only made for the club scene, but a further development of the music as an expression and extension of the mind. 20 years after the release of ''Deep Sea Dweller'' (their first release), and 10 years after ''Grava 4'' (their last), here's ''Journey Of The Deep Sea Dweller''. This series is an almost complete collection of their early works, and is remastered from the original master tapes. Since the original releases have such a strong character, appeal and stand on their own, this re-issue can never re-create the magic of those originals. So instead the catalogue is stirred up, taking the tracks out of their original context, giving the 'in the know' listener a fresh experience and the new listener a document that is the best possible introduction to the aquatic world of Drexciya.

There arrives the 2nd lorry along the bumpy road fueled with a orange blend of house / electro tracks to stop by your counter. Honk if you want to.
