House Vinyl New Releases - News

Astro:Dynamics release the debut EP from Adam Oko, their third and final release of 2015 following a collaborative LP by BNJMN and Best Available Technology and the second volume of BAT's 'Excavated Tapes' series.

A keen collector of 1980's era Japanese electronic music and post-punk records, Oko has broadcasted mixes on NTS Radio including a Daevid Allen tribute show following his passing earlier this year. Diet of Germs is the London-based/Canterbury bred artist's first release - having previously remixed and collaborated with the likes of B£AMS, Kelpe, and Devon Loch for the ever excellent Kit Records - and demonstrates a keen ear for minimalist composition and frippertronic loops as well as the likes of Soft Machine and Haroumi Hosono, with a touch of almost Windham Hill-esque ambient.

Raven Bush of Syd Arthur contributes a solo on Suketo, and Portland's Best Available Technology successfully makes it onto all of the label's 2015 releases by rounding off the EP with an excellently smudged and downbeat re-imagining. Mastered by Architeq and artwork by The Royal Academy's Thomas Langley

Described by Igor himself as "psychological self-portrait", a missing link between *Skalpel's* "Konfusion" and Igors's debut album "Breslau" (his first solo work, released on Ninja Tune). The latest release, is a place where jazz inspirations meet psychedelic elements of krautrock and new wave, creating a mosaic of musical hallucinations.

Somewhere deep in the Andromeda Galaxy lies the mysterious planet Wasteland. Little is known. Though, rumor says it inhabits lifeforms from all over the Laniakea supercluster. These lifeforms have only one thing in common: on their home planet they are part of the Mutant Society. As an exclusive product for members of the Mutant Society on Earth, Radio Matrix recorded the auditory data from its latest visitor, Delta Funktionen. Spread over 4 EP's and compiled on this cd, it tells the intense story of his journey towards Wasteland.

Croatian ice queen and style icon Popsimonova hits hard and relentlessly with Brokedown Palace, her first solo album and her first release on Electronic Emergencies. Its sound is deep and dark, EBM with a touch of synth wave. The 11 tracks on Brokedown Palace will lead you through Popsimonova's state of mind: fighting, dancing, loving, destroying and rebuilding a strong self. This album is not for the faint at heart!

Flash Cero started in Madrid in 1986 and with just a Roland Juno 60, one Casio 5000, a Simmons drum machine, some effects and basic equipment they recorded a demo with 6 tracks. After a few months the band finally got a contract with a Spanish label to record and release their debut album 1988'.

27 years later this influential and cult techno-pop album is back to life. All original tracks, 6 demo tracks and some live recordings have been remastered from the original tapes and a new artwork has been created with graphic material from band private archives.

Founded in 1988, The Rorschach Garden is the solo project of Philipp Münch, mainly known from his works as Synapscape. In 1997, he stopped this project but was reactivated in 2001 and made its first public appearance at the Maschinenfest 2002 in Germany. Ever since, TRG has grown into a proper band and a great reputation for live performances. Their musical style has developed into a unique blend of electronic pop music and defies genre limitations. Since its reactivation, the project has released 8 regular albums.

"The Rorschach Dossier" is a compilation of tracks from out-of-print records released in early 2000's plus some rare and unreleased stuff.

Barotti is a musician and contemporary multimedia artist based in Berlin. After years of working on urban sound installations, performing arts and experimental music, he is now releasing his debut album. A soundtrack for fantastic futuristic fairytales. Epic and symphonic - with a deep electronic base. Armed with iconic analog gear of the 1970s and 1980s, a hand-picked group of high level classical string and horn players and the whole imaginary world of his absurd fantasies, Barotti is opening up a new dimension in the vast field between contemporary classical and electronic music. Rising stands firmly with one foot in the same mud as Woodkid and Sohn, and the other foot dipping into the past 200 years of classical music, resting in a lukewarm cocktail of Funkstörung and James Blake. The album was recorded in Casablanca and Berlin. Co-written and co-produced with Swedish composer Anders Ehlin and German producer Valentin Sommer. Biographical details: Arriving in Berlin in 2007 after completing his music studies in drums at the Siena Jazz Academy, Barotti has pursued a wide variety of activities in the art world. He quickly joined forces with Plastique-Fantastique, producers of inflatable urban architecture. Together they started creating interactive sound sculptures. Their installations have been exhibited at Saatchi Gallery, Clerkenwell Design Week London and Design Week Milan. Their latest work Sound of Light (made for Urbane Künste Ruhr) won the Let's Colour Award. Their work also extends into pop: they have designed a stage machine for Peaches, now touring around the world. Barotti has also worked with Asphalt Piloten, an interdisciplinary group of artists transforming public spaces.

eiffel 65 is back with their biggest hit "blue" in a great 2009 remix package !!! contains mixes by gabry ponte and djs from mars !!!

In den frühen 1990er-Jahren stand House-Musik in voller Blüte. Die ursprünglich aus Chicago stammende Tanzmusik setzte nicht nur an, mit regionalen Variationen weltweit die Clubs zu erobern, sondern im Gefolge von Techno darüber hinaus auch eine Kulturrevolution von gesamtgesellschaftlicher Relevanz auszulösen.
Mit seiner vitalen Subkulturszene war London zu dieser Zeit eine globale Drehscheibe für das Genre.
Mittendrin der junge Jeremy Newall. Er arbeitete bei einer Reihe der angesagtesten Plattenläden der Stadt, legte hie und da in Clubs sowie im Radio auf und kannte praktisch jeden House-DJ, der entweder in London lebte oder zum Auflegen in die Stadt kam. Er war das, was man einen "mover and shaker" nennt. Gerade DJs aus den Staaten drückten ihm regelmäßig Neuheiten und Testpressungen in die Hand. Vinyl, das nur in Kleinstauflage gepresst wurde und rein für den Moment gedacht war. Die schönsten hat Newall aufgehoben und zu einer einzigartigen Kompilation verschweißt: Neben einigen immer wieder gern gehörten Underground-Klassikern bietet "House Of Ages" eine exklusive Sammlung übersehener, unveröffentlichter und nicht mehr erhältlicher Edelsteine, beispielsweise von Roger Sanchez, Sandy Rivera, Terry Hunter und Jimi Polo.

Toxic Work Environment is the new EP from NYC's Ital. Following last year's stunning Endgame, T.W.E. expands on that album's dark precision and oozing paranoia. A vortex of late-capitalist panic, the first 3 tracks are vicious dancefloor weapons, creating a time-space tunnel from which the listener can't escape. Ups and downs move between moments of hypertension and fleeting liberation. Fourth track "The Citadel" shifts to a more contemplative place, with strange whispers and distant melodies, which G.O.D.'s remix then takes to an even murkier level inspired by the record's mood.

A forward-thinking dub strategy by Vienna's Ulrich Troyer delivered with radical reduction: an enormous hypnotic stream of sound positioned in a deep echo chamber, and rooted by ostinato iterations of a massive bass line. DEADLOCK (MELODICA VERSION) - deeply spiritual and so full of Nyabinghi feel without using any of the common reggae idioms. In fact, so much so that it convinced classic dub player VIN GORDON to contribute his unique trombone stylings. The result of the collaboration is DEADLOCK (VIN GORDON VERSION), undoubtedly the central track of the release.

DIDI KERN, one of Vienna's most prolific drummers adds sprinkles of futuristic percussion sounds to both DEADLOCK (VIN GORDON VERSION) and the heavily dubbed DEADLOCK (TALKBOX VERSION) - a playful, uptempo variation of the theme with additional talk box & vocoder layers.

Last but not least, DEADLOCK (KASSIAN TROYER REMIX) on the AA side is delivered as a completely re-constructed & reinvented version of the theme in a class on its own - both highly introspective and emotional.

The album version of DEADLOCK was selected by DJ MARCELLE / ANOTHER NICE MESS for her current release "DJ Marcelle / Another Nice Mess Meets Most Soulmates At Faust Studio Deejay Laboratory" (2LP, Klangbad 2014).

"We Will Not Harm You" sees "UK bass legend" (Mixmag) Dobie release his first album since 1997's classic, "The Sound Of One Hand Clapping" (Pussyfoot). Thirteen tracks of deep, beautifully worked instrumental music, based in hip hop but touching on techno, house, dubstep, latin, twostep, jazz, soul, funk and everything in between, "We Will Not Harm You" is a work of art from one of the pillars of the Black British music scene.
Created over the eighteen months, "We Will Not Harm You" sees Dobie develop the style pioneered on his two EPs for Big Dada and take it still further. In combining his love of classic breaks with the most contemporary music-making techniques, his feel for soul with the essential rawness of his hip hop education, Dobie makes something unique and timeless. So "Blip 124" runs bleep back through the bloco, "Stan Lee Is Hero Of Mine" pits funk drumming against a snaking, evil, electronic bassline, and first single "She Moans" is an exercise in the interaction between percussion and bottom end, a kind of deconstruction of dubstep back into its consitutuent parts. Tunes like "The Chant" and "Crunch Factor No.5" are an insturmental hip hop as hard, edgy and psychedelic as anything coming out of the LA Beat Scene, "Snap, Crackle & Pop" takes the spirit of breaking and spins it out into space, "Magenta" re-thinks the house grooove. "Then I Woke Up," meanwhile, is an exercise in psychotic mood music, "Somewhere Over There" is the kind of beautiful, soulful interlude you'd expect to find on an obscure soul-jazz B side, while "She Wiggles When She Walks" is a shimmering, transcendent conclusion to a great album.

We're happy to introduce to you a brand new project from two
exceptionally talented German producers going by the name of
Clavis. Manuel Tur, well known for his releases on Freerange, Mild Pitch and more recently Running Back has joined forces with Adrian aka Urban Absolutes of Paskal & Urban Absolutes fame and their debut release the Banza EP is the result of this fruitful
collaboration.
The title track brings some serious heat with both producers'
influences shining through and the end result being a dynamic and unique slice of percussion fueled, atmospheric deep, electronic house.
Mirzoza's Dream once again creates an expansive, widescreen mood with a simple piano riff providing the rhythmic drive punctuated by a cross-rhythmic bass note. Precision production and minimal approach to the arrangement will ensure this one sounds perfect on a big system.
Kuniyuki has been making amazing music for the last 15 years on
labels such as Mule and Sound Of Speed and we're happy to finally have him remix here on Freerange and with a seemingly perfect project for him to add his special touch. His remix of Mirzoza's Dream sees him stretch it out to an 8 minute 30 reconds of deep and twisted rolling analogue tricknology. Keeping the subtle mood of the piano riff in place, Kuniyuki expertly cranks up the energy by fattening the drums and building on the crazy synths, chartering his own course through a meteor shower on this intergalactic space journey!

Nachdem kürzlich mit - Change Is Everything ein erster neuer Song von Son Lux im Netz auftauchte,
kommt hier nun - Bones , das vierte Album der Band. Mittlerweile zum Trio angewachsen - Gitarrist
Rafiq Bhatia und Drummer Ian Chang ergänzen das Line-Up sowohl im Studio als auch live - hat die
Formation um Ryan Lott bereits mit den vorherigen Alben für einigen Wirbel gesorgt.
Bones ist Aufruhr, ein Zeugnis persönlichen und kollektiven Aufbegehrens. Wandel und
Metamorphosen ziehen sich als roter Faden durch die Songs und hallen im beinahe architektonisch
konstruierten und doch höchst lebendigen Sound wieder. Pitchfork fabulierte dazu einmal das Bild von
- einem Netz aus Venn-Diagrammen herbei.
2007 gegründet, ist Bones das erste Album, das Son Lux in der neuen Trio-Formation zeigt und die
verschiedenen musikalischen Hintergründe der Bandmitglieder zum Ausdruck bringt.

Synth Wave Duo MängelExemplar from Düsseldorf creates analogue and melodic New Wave Sound in an early 80's style.

For those not in the know Mater Suspria Vision are one of last remaining first wave of Witch House, proceed without prejudice, MSV were a truly bizarre one of a kind group. Combining Cosmic style with early Krautrock experimentation, bootleg VHS and a wild sense of humour, MSV have been one of our favourite groups for a long time. We've taken their last LP Antropophagus and run it through the Giallo Disco filter, featuring remixes by Xander Harris, Parasols AKA Ali Renault, Antoni Maiovvi and Vercetti Technicolor. Mastered by Alek Stark, Art by Eric Lee and CDX.

New 6 track EP from Parisian producer Moresounds, focusing on downtempo and hip-hop beats.
Moresounds has released on Om Unit's Cosmic Bridge Records, Doc Scott's 31 Recordings and remixed Machinedrum in recent years. While his work has focused on jungle and drum & bass, this new release shines a light on his hip-hop productions, still with a hint of the dub knowledge that characterises his sound.
Six original productions and two remixes from Clap! Clap! and Fracture.
Early DJ support and airplay from Kutmah (NTS), Om Unit, Jon 1st, Jay Scarlett, and Fracture (Metalheadz) on Rinse FM.
This EP is limited to 200 copies with screenprinted covers from Bologna's Paper Resistance.

Sigala aka Bruce Fielder ist ein junger Produzent aus London, seine Biografie beeindruckt mit weitreichenden Musikerfahrungen: Nachdem er bereits mit 8 begeistert Klavier spielte, schaffte er nach nur ein paar Jahren sein Grade 8, die höchste Amateurprüfung, die man in England am Klavier absolvieren kann. Als Teenager entwickelte er sich Richtung Jazz, bevor er an der Universität von Westminster studierte, wo er seinen Stil und seine technischen Fähigkeiten weiter ausbaute. Nur unwesentlich älter, entdeckte er seine Liebe für Dance und Künstler wie Pendulum, Sub Focus, Fatboy Slim und The Prodigy. Und sie, in Kombination mit der Musik der Neunziger (speziell RnB und Garage), waren es auch, die seine eigene Musik und seinen Sound beeinflussen sollten.

Dave Tarrida's latest release on Heraldic.SPb is mouth watering food for thought that delivers his unique blend of twanging metallic leads and body shaking bass. For me, Dark matter takes the cake with its deep and subtle madness, perfect for keeping the heady energy going all night long. This is going to sound extra tasty on vinyl!"

Manuel Mind & Valentino Tomasi's dadaesque electro underground hit "Strange Sounds", released on A Touch of Class, lately has been remixed by numerous gifted techno and house producers. Strange Sounds Remixes Vol. 2 includes the straight-forward peaktime feel of mas Ricardo's remix, Manoo's Swiss German rap skills in acapella format, Noiseberg's funky breakbeat/house version, and Qwan's well-balanced electro afro house. This remix collection is the first vinyl release on newly formed Le Bal Records.

Manuel Mind & Valentino Tomasis dadaistischer Electro-Underground-Hit "Strange Sounds", ursprünglich auf A Touch of Class erschienen, ist hier von ausgewählten Techno- und House-Produzenten remixed worden. Strange Sounds Remixes Vol. 2 präsentiert das kompromisslose Peaktime-Feel von mas Ricardo, Manoos Schweizerdeutsche Rapskills als Acapella, Noisebergs funky Breakbeat-House-Version sowie Qwans gut ausbalancierten, modernen Electro-Afro-House.

Strip Steve returns with his second single - One Thing feat. Robert Owens', taken out from his ambitious Album - Micro Mega', released earlier this year on Boysnoize Records. This time he takes a deep dive into Chicago House with raw 808 and 909 percussion, warm impulsive bass and silky vocals by the one and only Robert Owens - - One Thing' sums it up to a peerless tribute to Strip Steve's love: Chicago House Music. Alongside the original album cut, futuristic-funk hero Jimmy Edgar and BNR label mate Djedjotronic contribute their versions of the single to complete the package. Edgar goes with his mid 90s electrified revisionism of House music and warping the whole business to a pioneering future sound - his matchless style enhances the dancefloor potential for sure. Meanwhile Djedjotronic borrows Strip Steve's bold kicks and colourful synths, letting them flow into an elegant halfstepped journey, which proves Djedjotronic's beautiful raised oldschool mentality. An instrumental version of - One Thing' is also in the pack to bring it straight to the dancefloors. Enjoy!

limited 3x12" pack of vitp001 + v2n005 + v2n007 !!

'Merck 274350' With its propulsive mechanical basslines, industrial-strength percussion, and a Germanic vocodered mantra, this Teutonic Panzer Tank of a track takes absolutely no prisoners - an electronic matter of fact statement inspired by the passing of time, fate, circumstance, and synchronicity. Holland's misanthropic high priest of psychedelic, doomy, dark house & techno, Drvg Cvltvre, delivers a trippy interpretation, turning the track into a lysergic love letter to this iconic chemical catalyst, maintaining the dynamic bassline of the original but adding a nagging 303 line to deliver an explosive 3am dancefloor device.
One Step Closer to Heaven begins with a metronomic, rhythmic New Beat stomp and a nagging insidious synth refrain that recalls the more electronic side of New Order. Muscular synth riffs then drop in and out of the mix, taking the track into dark EBM territory and ramping up the pressure before the influences of Giorgio Moroder and Cerrone come to the fore, propelling the track into a rapture of hypnotic celestial electronic disco.

Heart felt songs from the San Francisco underground on this 100% solo release from label owner. Snaking synth melodies & Italo-influenced textures abound as these cuts hypnotize thru trippy sonic motions. Dreamy soundscapes, multi-genre blend, psychedelic

Die 1981 in Göteborg gegründete Synthie-Pop-Band Twice a Man zählt in Schweden zu den Pionieren der
elektronischen Popmusik. Zu ihren festen Mitgliedern zählten von Anfang an Dan Söderqvist und Karl
Gasleben. 1984 veröffentlichte Twice a Man die LP "From A Northern Stone". Zu dieser Zeit traten sie noch
gemeinsam mit Jocke Söderqvist auf, doch 1986 geriet die Zusammenarbeit ins Stocken. Erst 2014,
anlässlich des 30-jährigen Veröffentlichungsjubiläums von "From A Northern Stone", standen sie wieder zu
dritt auf der Bühne. Sowohl für die Musiker als auch die Fans von Twice a Man waren die Konzerte ein
unvergessliches Erlebnis - die magische Verbundenheit vergangener Zeiten war wieder greifbar.
Zwangsläufig setzte man sich an einen Tisch, um neue Songs zu schreiben. So entstand "Presence". Das
Album enthält neun neue Stücke. Diese reflektieren die globalen Konflikte, welche die Welt aktuell umtreiben
und hinterfragt die Zukunftsfähigkeit der Menschheit. Es sind apokalyptische Zeiten, die dringlich und
verzweifelt nach Lösungen schreien. Doch deshalb in Hoffnungslosigkeit zu verfallen, kommt für die Herren
Söderqvist und Gasleben nicht in Frage. Twice a Man stellen sich in den Dienst der Sache: Ihre künstlerische
Arbeit wird von der Idee getragen, dass "Presence" auf den Weg zurück ins Licht führt.

Six new Two Fingers (a.k.a. Amon Tobin) tracks including a Noisia feature on 180 grams 12inch vinyl and free download of the digital.

Time to tone that bumbum 'cuz the next release on Soul Clap Records takes us all the way to Sao Paulo, Brazil. This is the exploding metropolis where we first met our dear friend and musical soul mate, Davis. We met on our first tour of Brazil, and ended up playing back to back for hours on an epic birthday boat party around Rio's harbor. A pillar in the Brazilian house and disco music scene, Davis is known for his marathon DJ sets, heavy vinyl/synth collection and of course his oversized golden retrievers Neve and Moog.

Davis tells us that for him, music production is all about telling stories and sharing emotion. It is written with two-fold intention, both an invitation to connect within and also an opportunity to escape.

More in Davis' words:

"The 3 tracks bring pieces of emotions that are very present in my daily life. "Ethnic" with her african wild side is influenced by my childhood surrounded by black rhythms. I came from a very poor family, my grandfather was black and one of our great amusements was celebrating with the music full of black influences like samba, umbanda and the blues. "Juno Ballad" brings to me the image of driving the roads that connect São Paulo to Rio de Janeiro. This track reminds me of the soundtrack of a film where the character is frequent traveler, much like our lives as DJs. Finally, "This time with you" brings out my romantic side. My idea here is that love always brings comfort and moments of peace that erase any suffering."

This release marks Davis' debut on Soul Clap Records. As a special bonus we've reached out to Australian funk talent Inkswel for remix duties.

"Prominences" can last for many months just like unrealized love opens up a core of unstable emotions, left beyond the edge of the "Sun", alternating between peaceful rides during the solar eclipse and strong spectral lines in its emission spectrum. like the northern winds, prominences blow its solar spell straight inside of your chest. Delicate resonating textures surround you, light piano massages your brain, bells are whispering the secrets, keeping concept parts of its mystery.

Following hot on the heels of Paul Bennett's 'modthree', the next release on Modernista comes from Russian multi-instrumentalist and producer Yuri Shulgin.

After releases under his own name and as Mistanomista, alongside collaborations with Anton Zap, Yuri joins Modernista for a three-track 12" that effortlessly pieces together elements of acid, house, dub and jazz fusion into a very personal sound.

Recorded in Haiku-Pauwela, Maui between 21st January and 8th February 2015

Melting our minds for over two decades with his beat-based productions, this time renowned techno-producer Anthony Child aka Surgeon is putting the fundamental components of electronic sound production to the fore. Focussing on the development of timbre and texture, Child creates exquisite drones, that give an insight in his improvisatory sensibility and dig deep into the potentials of modular synthesis, As the title already indicates, it's a very special setting that he has chosen for this endeavour: The jungle of Maui seems to have acted as a stimulus for this exercise in concentration and trance. The intertwining of the electronic instrument that meets the sublime sounds of nature, opens up an intimate resonant chamber. Birds, insects and raindrops are allowed to break through, while you can sense the thick, humid air and deep colours of the surrounding resonating in the pastose synth lines. Some tracks offer beautifully built overtone-drones, others are structured by playful arpeggios that create a shining bright texture and seduce us into a state of disintegration. At the same time Child gives priority to the graininess of the instrument to emphasise the haptic quality and inner tension of the sounds themselves. In the end these minimalist procedures have been compiled to an unpretentious collection of sonic and atmospheric micro-jewels, inviting us to give ourselves over entirely and exclusively to listening.

Die Orakel presents two reinterpretations by Edward of Krautrock excursions - originally recorded by Harmonia and Brian Eno in 1973 and 1976. Harmonia is a Krautrock/Kosmische Musik group from Germany - formed as a collaboration of Michael Rother of Neu!, Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Möbius of Cluster 1973. In the same year, the song Sehr Kosmisch' was released on the band's debut album Musik von Harmonia". In September 1976 Brian Eno and Harmonia then collaborated and recorded Atmosphere' at the band's studio in Forst, Germany. However, the song was not released until 1997 as the tape was considered lost for almost twenty years. Who would be more suitable to remix original Krautrock material than Gilles Aiken, better known as Edward Considering his latest productions, Edward mostly works within house and techno templates while echoing Krautrock figures like Connie Plank. He is recognized for producing filigree club tracks that come with a spiritual edge. Over the years, this combination has made him a mainstay of Berlin's White label as well as Weimar's esteemed Giegling crew.

Wild Oats is proud to present Jay Daniel Karmatic Equations EP. This is his second release; the first being "Scorpio Rising" out on Sound Signature. Although a newcomer, Jay is already known for his rhythmic vigor and twangy synth leads. Starting out as just a DJ, Jay has seamlessly made his way into production; he's a natural and already being praised by some of the best in Detroit. The 5 track EP comes as double-vinyl and outfitted in a full color reverse board record sleeve and full color center labels.

Music from the documentary "I Dream Of Wires" f/several large-format modulars as well as his own Eurorack system. It doesn't revel in classicist synthpop motifs or vocoder-pop of recent years but focusses on making strange sounds sing.

* Craig Peyton was a mainstay in NYC jazz and dance music beginning in the 70s. From playing on Dan Hartman's "Vertigo/Relight My Fire" to his work on boogie funk productions with Daryl Payne, he is one of the unsung heroes of the era where disco transitioned into house music. His drum machine and synth based cover of William Devaughan's "Just Be Thankful" came out on Profile Records in 1983, a daring move for a white man trained on the vibes. He gives the jam a haunting and funky rework that has only escalated in popularity over the years. It has been bootlegged extensively while original copies remain quite elusive.

Remembers the good old times. Limited White Label Copy. Only 100 Pieces !
