House Vinyl New Releases - News

One time outing only for Night Christ backed with Illum Sphere remix

Die ursympathische, trinkfeste und gern auch mal alberne Doppel-LP des TAM TAM Tanzlokals (aka Kammerspiele Bar) in München. Eine Platte, die gut zuhören kann und dich versteht. Eine Platte, die für jeden Spaß zu haben ist. Die mit dir bis zum nächsten Morgen in den dreckigsten Clubs der Stadt tanzt. Und die mit dir genauso gern raus an den See fährt und Kirschen isst.
Zwei Platten mit Tracks und Songs von den DJs und Bands, die das TAM TAM Tanzlokal in seinem ersten Jahr zu einem unverwechselbar offenen, verrückten, partyhungrigen, allesistmöglichen, duweißtniewaspassierten Ort gemacht haben.

RotterHague is a new label dedicated to electro music in all it's forms, this issue showcasing brothers from other mothers DJ Technician and DJ Overdose. Lot's of E-mu SP1200 programming as this is for both of them the weapon of choice. Funky robotics to make the people shake is about as close as you can get to a description for the four tracks delivered on this E.P.

Burning Rose and Pelvis records meet in the middle to dish up Dormir, a two piece machine from Melbourne, Australia featuring Morgan Wright (formerly of Melbourne hardcore act Imprisoned) and Harry Maslen (formerly of Postblue). Two tracks of blacked out vocal electronics originally released on cassette are now brought to the floor with remixes by Leo James (Canyons, Berceuse Heroique) and Cop Envy (Opal Tapes, Templar Sound). Cover art by Misha Hollenbach (P.A.M.) squares the corners on this all Australian slab of sound.

Burning Rose was founded in Sydney in 2016. We aim to present the freshest unheard voices of the Australian underground. Our community is nothing without our comrades, creators, and supporters. We aim to give back as much as possible to those who strengthen our practice. We'll never lose sight of this.

Through our shows, records and parties, we bring everything that we put online into a real and tangible environment.

Based in Sydney and Melbourne, Pelvis are a multifaceted leisure system celebrating dance, music, film and spatial design through their parties, clothing, record label and other projects.

Coital embellishers, tailors of state, gland enhancers, dance party Linux, a black economy enterprise, forever slippery and uncatchable.

Recent releases on the Pelvis Records imprint include Mystik Menn EP (a side project from two well-known house music henchmen), VA - DJ Tools Volume 1, Luca Lozano - King Blade, Pelvis - Dance Freak (with remixes from Mall Grab, DJ Haus & DJ Nozaki) and the Dance Freak Mixtape, split with NYC's Venus X (GHE20G0TH1K) and released on limited edition cassette

On this new split EP, we welcome two knights of the european electro scene. On the A side, the irish man DeFeKT, who already released several bombs on Earwiggle, Solar One Music or Newflesh. On the B side, the french killer Maelstrom, who shows us his darkest face here, after some strong releases on RAAR, Zone or Cititrax. One EP, two buddies, four heavy tracks for the bangers.

Kalil, seja bem-vindo novamente - Welcome back K.A.L.I.L. I am stoked to have the youngest member of our Electric Ballroom family back.

K.A.L.I.L. celebrated his debut on Electric Ballroom last year together with fellow Sao Paulo DJ/Producer Victor Ruiz. This time K.A.L.I.L. returns with three of his own Techno cuts. In addition Victor Ruiz delivers a startling remix showcasing his trademark sound.

NYC Veteran and machine wizard Charles Noel aka Archetype reaches deep into his sonic archive to present another incredibly special release on Bright Sounds. Featuring exclusive previously unreleased material ranging from abstract to sublime in the form of a new & unique alias, (CN2). Essential.

Norwegian duo Smerz had a prolific 2017, which saw the Copenhagen-based Henriette and Catharina play the likes of Club 2 Club, MoMA PS1, sell out 'Half life' parties of their own, as well as release five new tracks along with five self-directed videos. Clearly not ones to wait around, Smerz go in to the new year with their 'Have fun' EP on the horizon for release via XL Recordings in March 2018.
.
With their unique electronic sound blending deconstructed club music, minimalist R&B and experimental pop and techno, Smerz are also prolific DJs who's DJing style takes a similar route. Mixing live vocals over their own music and interlaced with choice cuts aimed squarely at the dancefloor, this duo DJ hard in a live setting and are thrilling to watch as well as listen.

Smerz currently host their own monthly NTS Radio residency, mixing cutting-edge dance music and darker tones, in what is turning in to their trademark style.

'Mostro' is the project of 4 electro superstars, only for Absolut Freaks Records. On 'Mostro 1', french wonderboy Play Paul, mainly known for his works on Kitsuné, Craft Music & Gigolo ('Lalaland'), meets Daniel Dexter, member of the german crew AcidKids wich also appeared on eminent labels such as Exploited or Television Rocks
side, the club legend Boris Dlugosch and Raik Fargo from Hey Today! (Kitsune) are Come Klar and give with 'Mostro 2' an explosive tune with a freaky bassline and fluo pads on a massive compression. Enjoy !

Sha' D Underground Trax comes forward with his first private pressed release, hailing from Birmingham with a passion for basslines and vocals, the 'Scalpel' EP aims to deliver just that with a mix of Electro, Freestyle & Boogie cut up, chopped and reworked focusing on the drums and raw basslines while bringing the silky vocals to the fore and removing all the cheese, for those of you who buy records looking for the dub versions or Step Pettibone remixes this is the perfect record for you, built by the dance floor for the dance floor, late night low slung sleaze business.

Turbolenz is a new label from Offenbach run by Philipp Lenz aka Delenz. The first label's release comes from Shayde, the brain child of Delenz and his partner Richard Hötter. Titled - Ama il buco' (Italian natives get the joke here), it features a very diverse spectrum of sounds and moods.

- Ama il buco' a slow grower and steady groover that will get many bodies moving and is some ready-to-get-naked material for sure.
- Kühlschrank in F-Moll' is a rather dreamy, yet positive and escapistic affair. Insert your favourite sunrise after a long night out here.

The flip side starts with a remix by none other than Swayzak, the mighty tech house duo from London. Their take on - Ama il buco' is a crisp and cool peak time affair for a moment of contemplation - if that makes sense. The last track - Ofwebach' is obviously an homage to Delenz' home town Offenbach. Apparently a more uptempo and experimental terrain, - Ofwebach' is something else.

All in all, the result is a rock-solid 4-track debut release on Turbolenz or as they say in Offenbach and Frankfurt: Megastabiles Ding.

French label Meant has had a great run of things in 2012 with standout release from Vosper, Rework and Remain vs Populette getting

love from DJs across the board and extensive press support. Now the imprint looks to an act that have already proved their worth

with previous releases, the excellent Monoblok & PSLKTR. Monoblok & PSLKTR have been working together since 2009 and have

been responsible for releases on Notorious Elektro and Lebensfreud Records as well as of course the Meant label. Their unique take

on the modern sound of electro has given them a loyal fan base and this latest release with its intense feel and stellar remix selection is

certain to attract plenty of attention.



The EP kicks off with title track 'Spooky', a rolling, dark edged affair that melds element of electro and techno into a cut that is intense

from beginning to end. Vocoded vocals, off kilter synth parts and nagging top lines tie the record together and make for a

rollercoaster of a listen!
The original is accompanied by a remix from French production heavyweight Michel Amato AKA The Hacker who turns into a full
bore, old school electro workout that is simply stunning. The flipside of the vinyl gets going with 'Sigminder' feat MTH, a brooding
and squelchy electronic workout that walks a balanced line between dark and light with its swirling FX and close to Distortion
synth riffs, quality stuff. The remix duties on 'Sigminder' are handed to La Dame Noir who deliver a hypnotic reworking that retains
much of the original character whilst very much stamping it's own sound on things. There are 2 digital exclusives, the Vosper
remix of 'Sigminder' which delivers some quality techno and the 'Assault on Meant 15 edit' of Spooky that offers up some slo-mo
soundtrack action.
More quality from the Meant label, nothing less than you would expect, enjoy!

Pupil Dilations - new EP by Russian producer Kausto (real name Kuzma Palkin) for Roots United records.
5 tracks was produced in 2004 - 2007 in Kausto's hometown Severodvinsk on a vintage PC using Jeskola Buzz Tracker and old VST plugins.
Main source of inspiration - music of that time: Baby Ford, Humanoid, 808 State's Newbuild, as well as Analord series by AFX.
Original EP consisted of 6 pieces with the sixth track coming out as a bonus on digital release.

Kohib, AKA Øivind Sjøvoll from Sortland in the north of Norway, has been an important part of the club-scene in the town of Tromsø (the birthplace of the Northern Disco scene) since 1997, first as a DJ, later as a club organizer. In 2012, he started a string of dancefloor EP's, and the first one, "Solar Day EP", had a fairly limited distribution outside Norway. So, here is finally a "proper" re-release! The "Solar Day EP" is a rousing four-tracker of superb dance tunes. The selection features prime examples of Norwegian electronic music ranging from nu-disco to slinky house music to downtempo electronica. "So Good" leads the pack with a high charged house music rhythm, fancy bursts of percussion and bass line pulsations, and the appealing vocals of Dagny (yes, "that" Dagny, of "Backbeat", "Wearing Nothing" and "Love You Like That" fame) which beckon the listener to "take off all your clothes and dance with me!" This one's begging for immediate deployment on the dance floor. Kohib touches on more Italo-flavored grooviness with "Don't Tease The Bumblebee" which rides and glides like the flying insect in the title should. A bouncy low end and floating synths add to the cosmic romp. "Escape Velocity" lessens the tempo but fizzles with intriguing elements and melodies. Seemingly plucked synth lines and rolling, reverb-ed arpeggios evoke slow-motion bob-sledding across the Norwegian tundra. The set closes with the eponymous "Solar Day", a mildly uplifting piece withdriving drums, buzzy, throbbing synth action, and more delicious Italo-inspired loveliness. This one builds to a stirring climax and closes the EP in grand style.

Ingmar Pauli with his masculine take on The Hague disco. Phat bass lines, vocoders, big strings and synth themes with its roots in Italo disco and electro.

Jose Rico launches the new Le Disque Record Store's project: Ambiwa Records, a label dedicated to abstract House music.

"Declaration of Intent EP" is a collection of songs with a history, 4 pieces of his life talking about hypocrisy referred to poverty, the trivialisation of music as money source, the days in the studio with Ron Trent, and the night music-workers.

Beyond any related stories, here you can find all the Jose Rico's Music standards: Impossible Mpc percussion patterns, black keys, vocal textures, distorted kicks and tons of suspense and tension. This just means ... music for the most demanding dancefloors and open minds. As it could not be otherwise, mastered by Jose Rico.

Anthony Rother zeigt sich im Sommer 2015 energiegeladen wie schon lange nicht mehr und haut uns mit "Koridium" die nächste kompromisslose Floorbombe um die Ohren. Unnachgiebig,
metallisch, ein forderndes Sequenzstakkato in steter Bewegung, eine Klang gewordene Stroboskop Lichtskulptur und damit doch eigentlich genau das, weswegen wir Techno so sehr lieben. Und auch die B-Seite "Mosel 45" zelebriert diese schnörkellose Ästhetik unter Hochspannung und verbeugt sich so ganz nebenbei vor dem Frankfurter elektronischen Untergrund zwischen Monophonie und Bahnhofsviertel. Willkommen im Jetzt. (Jochen Ditschler)

OIWA - the new subdivision of Aiwo rec. presents Rave Racing Top Hits Vol. 1 - a various Rave Race selection of Oldschool Electro-Hiphop Crossover / Boss- / and Breakbeats compiled 4 the floor by: DJ Normal Quattro & DJ "Volcano" Carrera.

Moby has released a new single and video for Like a Motherless Child,' from his forthcoming album Everything Was Beautiful, And Nothing Hurt. Featuring LA-based soulstress Raquel Rodriguez, Like a Motherless Child' is a re-work of the well-known spiritual, with its origins in the slavery of the American South. The track describes the void left when one feels separated from a parent, higher power or similar guiding force. Over the years this powerful song has been reinterpreted by the likes of Odetta, Lena Horne, Mahalia Jackson and Van Morrison. The album is a glowing tapestry exploring spirituality, individuality and the brokenness of humanity and finds him returning to his orchestral, soul, trip-hop and gospel roots.

To kick-start 2018, Happy Skull serve up a rare EP from Italy's D'Arcangelo brothers. The sibling duo have been active since the early 1990s, when they played a pivotal role in shaping the sound of Roman Techno alongside contemporaries Lory D, Leo Anibaldi and their Automatic Sound Unlimited production partner, Max Durante. In the two decades that have passed since, Fabrizio and Marco have consistently delivered off-kilter, futurist electronic masterpieces for the likes of Nature, Analogical Force and, most famously, Rephlex.

The four tracks contained on this Happy Skull outing are not re-discovered archive cuts, but rather fresh slabs of mind-altering musical intoxication. The alternating bliss and acid-fired psychedelia of "Saba Tree"and the creeping late night paranoia of "Pull Seven" set the tone. The effervescent fun continues on the flip, where saucer-eyed chords and IDM electronics combine on the rush-inducing "13th Cider". To finish things off Fabrizio and Marco treat us to "Korty", a mesmerizing, deep space slow jam full of backwards electronics and rumbling flashes of sub-bass.

MAKE BELIEVE DISCO, the energetic younger sibling in the SLEAZYBEATS family of labels, continues to provide quality modern club jams !

This time they welcome Ouvrijster to the Make Believe Disco fold.
Ouvrijster might be Dutch for 'old spinster', but we're not dealing with some old hag with EDM aspirations here.
A fresh face from Amsterdam's bustling scene is behind the moniker, making his debut on the label with a three-track affair that ticks all the right boxes: sample-heavy disco gear, dusty basement beatdown and some proper mahogany vibes make for a killer EP.

Shredder Remixes EP TG002 on Tropical Goth Records features remixes of songs on Shredder debut EP TG001 & 1 unreleased title 'Crash And Burn'. 'Playing With Fire' remixes by Tunnel Signs (HAKT Recordings, NEIN Records) & Michael Sherburn (DUST-2MR Records, Mannequin Records), 'All Of It' by The Horrorist (Things To Come Records, aufnahme + wiedergabe), 'Crash And Burn' by Read Truth (Path Records, Planet E), & 'There Is Only One Hell' remixes by Japanster & another by Michael Sherburn.

Montreal-based outdoor enthusiast Unknown Mobile offers up his debut on Normals Welcome with this 12" full of gentle hand drums and wavy melodies. Percussion guides the way through levels of airy pads and catchy synth lines on 3 solo cuts. His dancefloor sensibilities then interlock with Vancouver's amiable Big Zen for a spaced-out collaborative track on the B side.

In 2014, Ultramajic's Jimmy Edgar received information about an East Detroit storage unit auction containing vintage recording equipment and historical items of Detroit Techno descent. We were only able to take a 1 minute peak at the dark and dusty unit before the bid, it was clear there were at least 1000 vinyl records and some miscellaneous recording equipment. ULTRAMAJIC came into the possession of over 100 DAT and 1/4" reel tapes. One box contained meticulously dated tapes from 1995 -1998 with sharpie inscription "ASHTAR LAVANDA". We had never heard this name and google search didn't bring back many results. We had uncovered a hidden treasure of Detroit Electro. The Ashtar Lavanda tapes led us on a journey to find out who the producer behind the sound was, and furthermore how did this music never get released After nearly two years, we managed to connect with Ashtar Lavanda to present this music to you. Like others during this time, Ashtar Lavanda was sharing lesser known analog studios that catered to electronic music artists during the late 90s. Studio time was expensive so the tracks had to be recorded same day. With this release and upcoming archives of his music, he will be known as one of the true pioneers in late 90s Detroit Electro alongside artists such as AUX88, Ectomorph, Dopplereffekt, and Drexciya. "I just wanted to see my music on New Dance Show, I wanted to hear it on 97.9FM but I didn't have the hustle to get the music out there" Ashtar Lavanda resides in Detroit to this day and currently works in the medical industry.

His amazing painting ''Winter by Jouswier'' (spread among the front and backside of the gatefold sleeve) symbolizes perfectly the rhythm of the open spaces in Friesland. Especialy in the whitened more abstract and cold winter landscape thats almost synonym for Versalife's abstract ice cold electro techno.

After numerous eps through the years, we are pleased to announce the debut LP from one of the cornerstone's of the L.I.E.S. label, Terekke. We asked the man himself for some words regarding his album as to do it justice best. Suffice to say we couldn't be more pleased this is happening as it stands as a truly special record for all of us. *Download Card included *
.
from the artist:
This record contains 5 years worth of electronic experimentations, the bulk of which were recorded while living in the EU, and mixed down at a studio in Amsterdam. The music was sequenced on a MPC and an inexpensive digital keyboard with reverb and delay.

Since the age of 12 i've been cultivating a deep love of music. Music allows me to communicate in ways that seem otherwise impossible and has connected me with many special people who share that same sentiment.

My intent was to make an album that could be pleasant regardless of the time of day. Something diverse, that could be enjoyed regardless of format. I hope deep listeners are rewarded just as equally as casual ones.

It was a joy layering these frequencies for you.

thanks

Scandinavian Italo/cold-wave/synth-pop romanticism. Limited to 300 numbered copies, and suspected to have strong connections with the Borft empire...

Beyond being a quality mixture of unusual dance tracks and unique electronica, XYXX is a conceptual body of work whose themes of sex, race, unity and destruction reveal themselves to those listening closely. XYXX is the first collaborative album between Berlin based electronic producer NYMA (Nima Chatrsimab) and Toronto based, Detroit raised vocalist Noisy Vibration. Sitting somewhere in between house, techno and electro, but with honest pop sensibilities, the record is a push-and-pull of ideas, highlighting each artist in distinctive and mesmerizing ways. The Berlin-via-Tehran musician, DJ and sound engineers melting-pot influences and wealth of experience are the perfect vehicle for Noisy Vibrations piercing lyrical style. He lets her do the talking, while delivering a powerful message of his own through more subconscious means. From the opening refrain the dialogue begins, angelic tones embrace you with open arms. Noisys lyrics speak to NYMAs colourful beats and masterful sound design, connecting to the moment and full of unexpected turns. XYXX is an album that is both spontaneous and carefully considered. With XYXX, the ride is completethe DNA whole.

A lot of bands are trying what The Exorcist are doing, to make timeless, mind bending, dance music but they often fail in reaching all the way. The Exorcist is the band that seem to exist in a dimension, much like ours but that lacks time as we know it; time is stretchable backwards and forward, and being in this dimension allows you to travel while, still staying in one place. Call it time travel if you will or moving outside of time rather. The Exorcist does this. Also they reach our dimension.

The members who also can be found in Uran, Tentakel, and Sork among others, formed The Exorcist in 2012 and started by playing illegal techno clubs for the true undercurrent citizens of Gothenburg, Sweden. The reputation of this dangerous psychedelic band, who plays funk the way funk should be played soon reached Stockholm where they got a cult following just by word of mouth. Over the past four years their following has grown exponentially!

The recording of 'II' was a trip into the abyss and back, with a lot of time and money spent, outrage from the members and record label executives biting their nails down to the bone. But that is how The Exorcist works - tension is a vital part of this bands nature, hence it's sound. The tracks' aggressive approach and the feeling of being possessed by something evil lurking inside of you mirrors the process of making this album. But listening to the album back to back and hearing how the songs intertwine, lets the true face of The Exorcist shine brightly over you.

'II', released on Hoga Nord Rekords is dimension expanding and time dissolving music.

Tia Maria Produções member DJ Lycox goes solo in a big way with debut album Sonhos & Pesadelos for the resoundingly influential Príncipe Discos label

It is now possible to see a big picture. This means there is a timeline with enough years and developments since this sound generically named Batida emerged on its own. Lycox is of course part of a newer generation that keeps adding to the sum, but he is already inspiring a younger set of producers. "Sonhos & Pesadelos" helps materialize a multiverse of bold, shiny chrome architecture, staying true to the original kuduro backbone while Lycox organizes new forms, song structures and even artificial life. If you can't call it "raw" it's only because this is mental space translated into sound. The physicality of the music is but one element in Lycox's ambitious take on dance music, although we should really say pop music, such is the melodic and harmonic forces at work. "Solteiro" could be just an ambient beauty but the abnormally long 4-minute mark reveals layers of masterful songcrafting well outside what some might still be tempted to classify as "ethnic". Not a classic seaside romance.
