House Vinyl New Releases - News

The ring master's voice booms through the arena's speakers. "Ladies and Vagabonds. Round Three just kicked off and both teams seem bent on wrapping this up with brute force. The Good Guys seem to be cornering their malevolent adversaries there, but wait! a swift jab to the jaw and Team Decent hits the canvas" Rising talent Tell (Beat-x-Changers, Banoffee Pies) from Paris handles the opening play for the Good Guys on the third missive of the fledgling Quartet Series imprint. Tell seems to confirm Paris is rapidly reclaiming its former status as a hotbed for raw and moody house music by offering up a delectable blend of lavish chords, distorted sounds and melancholic vocals. Darko Kustura (Pole Jam, What's in the Box) throws in some additional punches for the Good Guys. The Croation beatsmith might not be the most prolific but made a name for himself with an amazing ep on Legendary Sound Research under his Teleskop moniker and treats the crowd to a wobbling groovy baseline and sugary sweet chords. Being Bad can be a good thing sometimes as well. The dark side has cookies, after all. Mancunian Loz Goddard (Dirt Crew, Outplay, Razor-n-Tape) steps out of his comfort zone and delivers a sonic uppercut with a mad piece of swinging acid. Accompanying him on the team is our Hungarian BAL 5000 (SPIEL) who flexes his acid muscle to disorientate and a dubby bass to sedate. The acid is his, but he's willing to share. All in all we'll have a very interesting fight ahead of us. DING DING!

Monoloc makes his debut on Hotflush recordings, the label's first release of 2016. Following a recent single on Innervisions and an appearance on Life & Death, his latest offering 'Another Thing' marks a departure into more atmospheric soundscapes.

The murky grandeur of the title track lends itself to moody textures that build in narrative, walking a knife-edge between industrial techno and minimalist dub. 'TrySome' conjures the setting of a dilapidated warehouse rave at 5am, while 'Makeless', with its low-slung percussive elements draped over misty pads and imposing bass, draws the listener further into Monoloc's wormhole.

Having established himself through a consistent stream of quality releases for Uncanny Valley and the immaculate collection of Rat Life, Credit 00 - real name Alexander Dorn - bring sthe heat on NYH81. These are recordings taken from his old apartment, and feature a heavy dose of reference to classic Gertronica. From Can to Kraftwerk to Neu! to (now) Munich's Dopplereffect, this is some really nifty classic electro.

The band is proud to announce one very last The Neon Judgement release to their fans; a limited shaped picture disc vinyl. No other than Dave Clarke, the baron of techno, asked the band if he could remix TV Treated. The Neon Judgement were a huge inspiration for Dave, just like for many others artists. On the flipside the fans will be able to find a special radio edit of TV Treated, one of the biggest hits in the long and rich history of the band.

We are very proud to welcome back on board our good friends Pablo Bolivar and Luke Hess from Detroit. Pablo Bolivar & Javier OrduNa here comes with "Tales from the ground ", passion for music, analog machines, carefully crafted, beauty, elegance, deepness, dub by elements and perfect for the dance floor are what we have. Creating out of loving for the people who will hear the music. After acclaimed releases on FXHE,Beretta Grey, Echocord Colour,Kontra-Musik...Luke's sound is here again with pong musiq.

Futureboogie spring straight into action in the New Year with a killer single from the much loved German producer, Lauer. As one half of Tuff City Kids (with Gerd Janson), as well as flying solo with two albums on Permanent Vacation, Phillip Lauer has been producing since the turn of the millennium. A cohesive and highly active output of music has come on labels like Running Back, Beats In Space and Brontosaurus amongst many others.
His single for Futureboogie pulls together two outstanding productions; 'Birsk' is a pacey and unrelenting beast of a house tune, its bassline expanding bigger than the waistlines over the Xmas period whilst the meaty drums and snare rolls escort in further melodic touches and delirious automation on its synth riff.
'Kilian' comes more leisurely in pace but no less effective. A choir-like pad underpins the frenetic energy mustered up by Lauer, again adopting a heavyweight bassline against the nimble melodies and the buoyant vibes offered up here. With a supreme sonic gloss and 'never fails' piano motif, 'Kilian' works wonders on every level and will no doubt be ringing all of speaker stacks for some time to come.

FR Fels is making his debut on Ortloff Records with a four track journey through analogue mindscapes. Record and sleeve are provided with a phosphorescent silkscreen print.

A new ExoPlanets release is coming out from the 30drop shuttle. Univac, a side project of Geistform's mastermind Rafa M. Espinosa, presents Unknown Radio', an electrocharged bomb EP. Starting with Detroitian electro- heritage, Univac, push up the style into a rhythmical, elegant and contemporaneous status. Four original tracks and a remix by the legendary Der Zyklus (Drexciya, Dopplereffekt, Arpanet,...). Unknown Radio', the homonymous track, opens up the work backward- looking to the techno dancefloor. Lunik' purpose a cold and explicit electro discourse, well understood and remanufactured by the hands of Der Zyklus. Null' is an electrical discharge and, finally, an energy-boost called Zender' closes the work. Unquestionable job.

Horse Follows Darkness is the second record by Delia Gonzalez, her follow up to the album In Remembrance'.

The title is taken from a werewolf genre film her 8 year old son Wolfgang had created. At this time, Wolfgang also turned Delia onto a genre of cinema she had always resisted - the American Western.

Delia explains that what she observed was all relevant - the album is based on our personal experience of moving back to America (from Berlin) and the journey that followed. The record is a manifestation of that, and what one creates for themselves under the given circumstances. Coming back to America, I felt like a foreigner and NYC / America felt like the Wild West. Most Westerns from the 1960s to the present have revisionist themes. Many were made by emerging major filmmakers who saw the Western as an opportunity to expand their criticism of American society and values into
a new genre.'

The narrative of the record is one of re-encountering the frontier mentality that shaped the country but somehow never faded. This time as a foreigner. The genre of the Western remains pertinent, many of the same stories of that brutally deromanticised era are still relevant today. America hasn't changed - the cast, times and settings have, but we still hold onto the same ideal.

Horse Follows Darkness is essentially a modern electronic soundtrack for the Revisionist Western. Even the idea for the record cover is inspired by one of the most well known modern Westerns, Robert Altman's McCabe & Mrs Miller.

The album was recorded with Abe Seiferth at Transmitter Park studios, which Delia likens to going to the finest tailor'. Abe became an integral part of the recording, playing guitar and helping to suggest experimenting with different synthesizers, something Delia was keen to do. Delia refers to Abe as a magical and incredibly intuitive collaborator' regarding the sound of the record.

The music that emerged from these recording sessions combines a range of influences - from the compositions of Erik Satie to 'Salon De Musique', the solo piano record by Su Tissue (of the L.A. punk band Suburban Lawns). The record also took on a much different shape and sound with the introduction of the Sequential Circuits Prophet VS, as well as a vintage Korg Poly synth and the Roland SH-101. The golden era Krautrock recordings of bands like Neu!, Cluster & Harmonia were touchstones as well, the repetition, swirling soundscapes and locked-in rhythm tracks.

ERASURE (Andy Bell and Vince Clarke) will release their seventeenth studio album, World Be Gone, out on Mute on 19 May 2017.
World Be Gone is the follow up to 2014's The Violet Flame, and follows the band's recent 30th anniversary celebrations.
Their new album sees the award-winning songwriters in a more reflective mood, giving the world and recent political upheavals a thoughtful examination and, as highlighted on the painted artwork showing a ship's masthead rising up from being submerged in the stormy waters, looking forward to the future.
Explains Vince Clarke, Obviously the current political climate lends itself to lots of ideas', Andy Bell continues, I think there's an underswell of opinion, and people are slowly waking up. I'm hoping that people will take the album in a positive way, that they'll use it as optimistic rabble-rousing music.

Vincent Koreman aka RA-X joins up with Herr Muller to form a new and rockin' Optimus Prime, once again exploring the danceflo

Newly launced Samo Records is setting out to explore the depths of the dancefloor by celebrating the darker, moodier facets of electronic music.The NYC label's first release comes from Pixelife (Sean Dack), a highly accomplished visual artist and veteran of NYC's underground. In addition to releasing on such respected labels as Throne of Blood, Horn Wax, and Let's Play House, he also makes up half of GHOST COP, a band known for its textured synths, iconic vocals, dissonant beats, and captivating live sets. Incorporating the same expert sonic-layering techniques he employs in his live analog sets, he's created a dynamic EP that's both intimate in feel and broad in scope.'Omega Block' stomps out of the gate, all driving rhythms and throbbing basslines with an underlying element of frenetic foreboding — aptly reflecting these geopolitically tense times, while still remaining suitable for losing yourself on the dancefloor. The track gets the remix treatment by Bristol, U.K.-born, Berlin-based Antoni Maiovvi, a self-described 'electrodisco horror mindmelt DJ/live performer/film composer' who heads up Giallo Disco Records with Vercetti Technicolor. Here, he trades his trademark horror elements for successions of staccato beats and a stripped-down sensibility that successfully translates to perfect late-night-at-a-warehouse vibes.Chimeras in the Matrix' soars with gorgeous dystopian melodies overlaying squelchy undertones, revealing labyrinthine layers and anxious crescendos before building to a full-on acid frenzy. Producer/remixer/DJ Tronik Youth (who, like Maiovvi, also hails from the U.K. and currently lives in Berlin) is co-head of the prolific (averaging nearly a release a week in 2016) NEIN Records, which he founded five years ago with Ian Considine; the label has released music from the likes of Rodion, Curses, In Flagranti, Heretic, Man Power, Daniele Baldelli, The Emperor Machine, and Moscoman, to name but a few. He is also a member of Permanent Wave, a spooky, pitched-down, dark-wave-inspired disco project with French singer Justine. He brings a chuggy, bleepy edge to his take on 'Chimeras in the Matrix' with bouncy rhythms, multiple breakdowns, and echoing robo-vocals, taking the original's intensity down while upping the dancefloor quotient.

As the US retire each of their space going shuttles it appears that exiting the stratosphere is more difficult than ever. Yet there is one pilot who still makes aural excursions into the cosmos, Roland Sebastian Faber. Since the beginning of Aube Records RSF has been serving up his brand of analogue astronomy, creating lush interplanetary sounds and otherworldly vistas.

San Francisco sleaze connoisseurs Anthony Mansfield and Tal M Klein
are back with their sixth joint EP under the AM/TM moniker; entitled,
appropriately enough, Sleaze Please. If you file this track under
nu-disco (or nu-anything for that matter), we will find you and punch
you in the perineum. This is Sleaze music, it's dirty and unapologetic
and will melt people's faces off.
The title track, Sleaze Please, is not a modest number. She will
destroy your bassbins and kick you in the nuts. At last count this
track features no less than 10 analog synthesizers you've never heard
of and drum machines that were invented before you were born. This
track is so heavy that when we put it on a scale our phone number
showed up.
A mystery man who called himself Heisse Scheisse clandestinely
delivered a monster remix on reel to reel tape inside a bullet proof
suitcase which also contained a latex banana hammock. After billions
of dollars of research and vaccines, our detective team found out the
man behind the Heisse Scheisse remix was none other than Nick Chacona.
When we confronted him with our findings he said, 'What the hell were
you thinking with that bassline, I fixed your stupid mess and made a
better track than the original.' He then shot us in the knees with a
Desert Eagle .50 and took off in a solar powered jetpack.
The other original track on this EP is 'U WANT 2' which basically
repeats 'you want to' until everyone gets naked and crazy. It's
delicate like an elephant with rabies on PCP. We recommend this track
to people who are tired of playing records that sound like broken
records. It's big, it's bad, it'll make you glad.

Spectators of the Universe is the brand new single from Dutch
producer/artist/video director David Douglas, out March 24. Following the release of his critically acclaimed debut 'Moon Observations,' 'Spectators of the Universe' is a journey through sun-kissed disco and gentle electronic pop, subtly playing with psychedelic and experimental elements and weaving organic textures alongside more robotic landscapes.2014's 'Moon Observations' was inspired by a different star-gazer with the same name. That David Douglas was a 18th century explorer and naturalist, whose writings on astronomical observation has inspired the more modern Douglas' latest music. Those eleven tracks of beautifully fleshed-out electronica were certainly a worthy tribute, and 'Spectators oF the Universe' continues the story in blissful fashion.David Douglas is without doubt one of the most expressive and allemcompassing creators around. Having previously working as an esteemed video director, he switched his focus to music, and both his 2012 'Royal Horticultural Society' EP and his debut album 'Moon Observations' were warmly received, garnering praise from the likes of Pitchfork, i-D Mag,
Electronic Beats, THUMP and XLR8R. David's live sets are known for the substantial amount of gear he has in tow, including a Space Echo that is essential for his signature sound. His shows at PITCH Festival, Best Kept Secret and Into The Woods inspired the penning of his second full album, set to drop early next year via Atomnation

Ltd ed white label. Little is known about OUTER FALL. Behind this alias hide two mysterious activists, whose spirits are permeated by surrealism and by early 90 nineties DIY.

Deep Breath Records strikes again with it´s fourth release. This time the music comes from the spanish duo 11.Off. The EP also comes with two big remixes from DJF (Prayers for the Long Life, AHD) and Bandada (Illegal Alien, Phase Insane, Spark Musik, True Type Tracks).
This Ep is a mix of Techno and Tech-House with Deep touches which makes it all vey complete.

Pop-Hit!!! Y

Last we heard of Australian three-piece PVT, they were exploring the outer reaches of electronic rock with their 2010 album Church With No Magic. The Australian trio have made a distinguished career out of making genrebending guitar music, carving themselves a reputation as sonic innovators, and in 2008 becoming the first band from their homeland to sign to iconic UK label Warp. All of which makes their new album Homosapien — their fourth studio album and Felte debut — a startling listening.

"Vertigo" is a standout track from said album. The initial synth line appears in slow-mo and is then smoothed out with a bassline which pulls you in from the beginning and never lets go. Techno producer Luke Abbott takes a hold of this synth sound and takes these ideas and stretches them out with great patience over several minutes without it ever losing its momentum or focus. Beat
constructionist Lukid creates a tumbling beat and pitches up the vocals while Hype Williams re-imagine the track entirely, casting it as the backdrop to a new set of vocals and movie sample snippets. Van Vizintin creates a moody, electronic recreation of the original.

Following their "Atalanta"12", Stockholm-based Farbror Resande Mac returns to Horisontal Mambo with this extended EP of b**earic bliss.

Through releases on labels such as Aficionado, Back to the Balearics and Is It Balearic they've carved their own niche in the tropical music climate we northeners like to embrace. Although it's hard to to escape the use of the dreaded b-word it might be the most fitting label still.

Anyway, we love it and we hope you do to.

The Deewees say... Five years ago we met Emmanuelle in an office in Milano. For years we asked her to play us some of the music she'd been making on her laptop in her bedroom. When DEEWEE was built we invited the Rio born / Miami raised / Milano based artist to make some music together. This is the first of many things we've done so far...'

Pilocka Krach still means nothing but Pilocka Noise. She's the charming queen of Berlins Post Techno Underground and a true Recording & Perfoming artist. Her new release on her very own imprint Greatest Hits International is a conceptional framed double vinyl album and a journey diary of her last two years on tour around the globe, with Mexico, Detroit and her hometown roots in Berlin as fixpoints on her neverending agenda. Pilocka Krach is Sugar Cane & The Lost Amigos , her band and all at once. Her style is pure electro post rave simplicity, where each single sound is either raw sampling cuts or deep growling synthesis. Big basslines meet funky grooves and surprising hooks, grooving along with her own voice and a lot of other vocal features, whereever you go. Each 'n everthing gets the room it deserves and mingles alltogether to so much more, than just another stereo sum. Never heard an album that dry and that wet at the same time, with an overall fun and jam factor, that is truly touching. She took her original style more than just a few steps further and sharpened her skills in an impressive and real straight forward way of raw funkyness and true storytelling. You can't listen to it without moving. Pilocka is always surfing the right balance of how much, or better how less it needs, to keep it going, get down to the point of no return and beyond the miracle of repetition. Pure oldschool sounds never sounded that fresh and never, ever 'been told that way before.

scrapped LPs' worth of cuts similar in vibe to the hyper-pop of 2014's Coolest EP - happier, forest-y, more "plinky-plonky."

It's going on four years since a Slugabed album, but the man's been busy - running a label, working with others, and making two

Alleviated veteran Ben Jenkins launches his new vinyl label Partial Magic with Pittsburgh's Chase Smith. Chase turns in four cuts of percolating-hissing drum machines and squirting- gibbering oscillators. The whole quivering ensemble chugs with an electro snap and a steady dance mania clip until the cool- down of silky and sensuous pads on the closing track.

Colored Vinyl

All DJs and producers around have at least one secret weapon to play. This series curated by Marvin & Guy is the Equation that joins together very special edits from very special artists.

It will be out in three volumes in different colours: first black, second grey and third white.

The Equation series are being released exclusively on vinyl, a limited edition of 300 copies; no digital formats will be released.

With Equation 2 the A-team is back and they have changed players for this second half.

This time they bring along the Mexican outlaw hippie, a Danish who learnt how to build beats better than Lego, as well as the only Irish keener on music than in beer. And the last player is a man who abandoned the euro dance hits of the 90's to play basketball in Peru.

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.

A 90's inspired sci-fi house session: acid, house & electro-inspired dance floor tools from Maheras w/ Keith Tenniswood (Two Lone Swordsmen w/Andrew Weatherall) as Radioactive Man on remix duties

Xinobi's new album is pretty much an album rooted in the NOW. Its emo electronic music you can dance to. You can say Atmospheric House with Spoken Word, dreamy electronic with a Pop feel, ethereal Techno, dark chill Leftfield fulfilled with uncommon lyrics on the dance music world.'On The Quiet' is a dance floor-focused story about the transition of many electronic musicians from punk rock and skateboarding into house music and about how dance-music can be a field for social conscious awareness.It's common knowledge that the second album from an artist is his most difficult task. 'On The Quiet' proves to be an exception to this idea. After countless successful singles and remixes Xinobi found his own style on his debut album '1975', released in 2014, and improved that style on this set of songs that now stands a new landmark on his career. 'On The Quiet' is a reflex of the path that many contemporary electronic musicians have crossed, starting on punk and developing into diversity while keeping some of the ethics of punk school. One could say this an D.I.Y. record. Xinobi played and self-produced the whole album and even released on Discotexas (a label he co-owns with Moullinex). Friends were invited to sing on some tracks and there's Ian MacKaye's (the man behind such important bands as Minor Threat, Fugazi or the Dischord label) voice about skateboarding manners and urban alternative interpretations. The record also features an artwork by Braulio Amado with extensive biographical writings, all the lyrics, interviews with Igor Cavalera (former member of Sepultura and Mixhell) and David Andersson of Punks Jump Up beautifully crafted with fanzine-styled aesthetics.
Supported by: Laurent Garnier, Mixhell, Alkalino, Nick Warren, Robbie Akbal, DJ T., Richie Hawtin, Nhan Solo, Marco Carola, Agoria, Severino, John Digweed, Crazy P, Danny Tenaglia, Joris Voorn.

First vinyl release of the special Zwischenwelt Project. A well executed audio-visual experience playing with the tension between machine and human vox. Musically rooted in the early 90's lab-electro style that has been presented as Gesamtkuntwerk, further conceptualized and developed into an even more abstract but not any less powerful or less intense experience. Cold voices sonicly merging with emotional machine sounds (or is it cold machine sounds merging with emotive vocal sounds).

Matías Aguayo and Gary Pimiento's Cómeme label has been specifically formed to highlight artists making dance music in South America.

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.
