House Novedades

After a 3-year hiatus, Noerk is back with a spacey acidic three tracker plus a rolling peaktime remix from our good friend and really talented producer Lee Burton. Untitled_02 is an electrified, deep yet funky tribute to Vangelis (as we perceive it) with lush synthesizers and grooving 303s. Pending forties is reminding us of the 90s era when sample based breakbeat and acid realised they were made for each other like peanut butter and jelly. It's Over (original mix), on the other hand, follows a more straightforward 4 on the floor loop and lets the jazzy chords and the intergalactic melodies do all the work. Lee Burton's remix wraps up the EP nicely offering us a certified banger with 90s house elements that can destroy any dancefloor. We have entered the wormhole. Time and space are no longer relevant. Only feelings.

Presenting the long sought after, groundbreaking and classic 1990 UK long-player finally remastered and reissued for 2018. London's Warriors Dance label was a unique operation and a pioneering London label during the late 80's acid house phenomena. Home to an assortment of DJs, MCs and soundmen, they went on to make their own original and indelible mark on the rave scene from the infamous 'Addis Ababa' studio on Harrow Road on the North-West side of the city.

A former reggae and soul studio that was instrumental to the output of influential artists like Soul II Soul and more, a steady diet of reggae, bass, hip-hop, house and techno kept their edgy, and die hard UK sound and style right at the cutting edge of the dance music underground across the globe with the top DJs and producers of the day celebrating the label.

The studio, helmed by label owner Tony 'Addis', acted as an incubator for artists whose names would go down in the history books - No Smoke, Bang The Party, The Addis Posse, Melancholy Man, Hollywood Beyond, The Housemaids and more all featured heavily on the label and contributed to its legendary output. The attitude and approach to the music was utterly and unapologetically a London thing, with heavy African and Caribbean influences also drawing on the sounds emanating from Chicago, Detroit and further afield.

Years later, and with the advent of the internet, Discogs, Youtube and any other digital platform you'd care to mention, Warriors Dance continues to be discovered and rediscovered again by curious diggers and music heads with a thirst for heavyweight tracks to play in their DJ sets. This saw the WD mythology rise again, making their records much sought after by fans from all over the world.

When 'International Smoke Signal' landed in 1990 there was nothing else quite like it in the musical landscape, the perfect sonic example of the Warriors Dance ethos and style incorporating all of the influences and grooves that made the label's output so unique, a sound heavily inspired by the preceding period in London and the UK where hip-hop, soul, reggae, rare groove and acid house were played side by side in the warehouses and empty spaces of former industrial areas. Throughout the late 1980's these often drab and dangerous places were transformed by local DJ crews like Soul II Soul and Shake 'N' Fingerpop with more to offer those looking for an open-minded party scene new places to explore, in turn switching people on to broader styles of music.

It's all in here, the heavy breakbeat driven B-boy house flavour of the album version of the classic 'Koro Koro', the Manu Dibango featuring tribal acid groove of 'International Smoke Signal' to the percussive and ultra-deep stylings of 'Oh Yes (Freedom)' the LP encapsulate a time and place yet continue to capture the imagination today.

Timeless music. There's no doubt the No Smoke project is a direct influence on the deeper, tribal house sounds around today and pioneered the afro house sound alongside 'Yeke Yeke', 'Motherland' etc as the acid house phenomenon swept the world. 'Koro Koro' is the omnipresent anthem which was broken at London clubs like Confusion by Bang The Party's Kid Batchelor and RIP which went on to blow up in New York, and was then signed by Profile Records. Hugely sampled and still played to this day.


'International Smoke Signal' fuses the otherworldly science of dub and reggae with Bronx breakbeats, synth laden ambient house excursions and the heartbeat of mother Africa with the technoid thrum of the motor city effortlessly, all while maintaining its London roots and swagger. A true dance music masterpiece. This is the first time the LP has been remastered and reissued, spread across 2 heavy slabs of high quality vinyl for maximum sonic impact. Made in conjunction with the Warriors Dance family and Tony Addis.

Special thanks to Nicky Trax & Tony Addis. - Remastered by Optimum Mastering, Bristol UK. Proudly distributed by Above Board distribution. 2018.

The 11-track album titled “Needledrop” provides a suite of both uplifting and easy-listening moments, refined and understated individually yet cohesively crafted with the honest musicianship and inarguable credentials that we know of production duo Session Victim.

The German pair of Hauke Freer and Matthias Reiling are no strangers to releasing quality long-format albums and while rising through a discerning community of DJ’s have previously released three consecutive albums on tastemaker label Delusions of Grandeur culminating in 2017’s “Listen To Your Heart”.

Their latest and fourth studio album via the label Night Time Stories (the London based sister label to the coveted LateNightTales) marks a notable move towards the home listening dynamics of their career counterparts such as Nightmares on Wax and Portishead that have played such a strong influence in Session Victims variety of output over the last decade.

As accomplished producers, Session Victim have been intent on delivering a characteristic body of work for uninterrupted easy listening and with Needledrop have landed with significant inspiration from the engaging jazz and soul compositions that found their way into early 2000’s trip hop.

Fusing downtempo beats, smooth tones and hedonistic grooves via their intuitive sampling sessions, Session Victim’s fourth album succeeds in actively engaging the listeners mood and intellect in equal measure.

The albums clear stand out is "Made Me Fly” which presents a soothing yet expressive live vocal performance by singer songwriter Beth Hirsch, best known for her collaboration with French duo Air on their 1998 album Moon Safari.

As self-confessed semi-reclusive studio geeks, Session Victim have turned their 2020 album focus towards a large arsenal of dusty influences which has inspired them to rediscover the intuitive and playful side of their production personalities while also demonstrating their cherished music knowledge.

Seven Villas is proud to present their latest well-crafted long-playing techno release.

recently, electro.

And what more meaningful way to honour that musical friendship than with making music based on that early mutual passion for that Detroit-Berlin techno connection.

'Distances' is just that simply. A 16-track deep foray into all the things the love and respect about the foundations and traditions of techno music. Each essence and theme of the genre is represented with this
tracklist collaboration.

Ace Vision Records starts with the first press AV001 released by Ace Vision. The label wants to create an intimate mix driven by the 80’s italo touch and the early 2000 disco, synth pop and electro sounds.

In this release you can find on the A side Homesick, a dance floor killer track that wants to bring energic vibes to the listener thanks to the catchy grooves, double arpeggiated bass piloted by a nostalgic synth and warmy pads and Italo Vision, a tribute for the classic italo disco with the taste of Ace.

On the B side there are Round the wave, track composed with a solid and crispy Roland Tr-707 rhythm, bouncy italo bass and bright synthetizers and Sentimental Dance that how the title wants to communicate it’s an emotional song with a vocodered voice that can hug the dance floor with true love, really suitable for your

Happy to share with you our 4th release. We have on board a fresh producer who has been quietly making some magic. We are excited to welcome on board TRO a long collaborator and good friend. Machine workout for the heads!

A record label specializing in cutting edge electronic music. Whether you are standing in the middle of the dance floor at a club, riding your morning commute in the train with your headphones on or finding new inspiration in the studio — music is able to completely break us from reality, providing a sense of warmth and comfort that gives us the energy to carry on. It is by this ethos that London-based DJ and artist Vass curates the newly-founded label The Comfort.

Gloomy futurism, sharp snares, enthralling melodies and rich basslines, Dj Lo-Tek’s is Sohrab’s alias for off-kilter hardware based jams. The debut release for The Comfort is a contemporary dance EP in four stages. Music made with basic equipment in a low life area of town that, surprisingly, is in itself not so basic at all. The record kicks off with “Bonus Beats”, a uplifting track that is sure to capture those special moments on the floor that you can’t put into words. It follows up with the A2 cut “Reznet”, going into more emotive territory, driven home by a powerful groove.

The flip side hosts “Powa”, the heaviest track on the EP, designed for peak time action: big, hypnotic and playful in all the right ways. Ending the record is the appropriately named italo-disco influenced “Amber Haze”, a showstopper for intimate and bigger rooms alike.

Infidel Bodies is proud to present the next release signed by Turvia, an Argentine artist who surprises us with an album composed of 12 tracks that interpret a journey through the most complex minds and the darkest corners of experimental electronic music.

You can't always portray "Orwellian" situations that donʼt have traces of reality. That is the case of a dystopian place, a non-emancipated and dependent population that donʼt fear power ... but something worse:
resigns itself or praises it in search of a precarious subsistence.
Nobody is going to raise their heads, nobody is going to try to raise their voices.

The Mind Of A Mind Handler goes from a resident narrator to an orator of power.
From resignation and anger (The Owner Gives The Owner Takes)
From the tireless repetition of the same obeisances, the same desires, the same fears (Repeating The Myth, A Path To Delusive Heaven).
From the submission, the complete surrender waiting for that something in exchange, forgetting the dignity (Choose The People, As We Bow Down). From cynicism, the pride of consolidated power, the reduction of all to simple entities that only add up when they are summoned to certain expressions (A Handlers Smile, Relentless Pursuit Of Power, Numbers And Indifference, Subnormal).
From the recognition of the dramatic of the present, of the past that is repeated, of the future that is no other than going back to the past to repeat it in the present and reproduce again...to be the object of the mind of a mental controller. (Drama, Paradise, Wake Up In The Hands Of) Living through this in modern times may seem like an anecdote, especially if you do not suffer personally...you can even think that it is just a metaphor, a literary lie to talk about oppression. But it is real. That's why this album exists.

Repress! The spooky vibes are back!

After three sold out releases Voodoos and Taboos are back again on their own printing label. Housy vibes with electro and disco influences. Don’t miss this one!

Argentinean - Berlin based emerging talent producer Lakeman, delivers his debut EP titled Inner Rythms on the second release of Federico Molinari and Dfunklub’s imprint Hold On Catalina.

Dark Entries has a surprise delivery! Malebox brings us six previously unreleased funk-fueled jams from the archives of the cybernetic disco titan himself, Patrick Cowley. Best known for his chart-topping disco anthems, Cowley left us with an incredible body of work before his tragic death in 1982 due to AIDS-related illness. Since 2009, Dark Entries has been working with Cowley’s friends and family to uncover the singular artist’s lesser-known sides, including his soundtracks for gay pornographic films on compilation albums School Daze, Muscle Up, and Afternooners.

But Malebox gives us more of the Cowley we know and love: churning disco-funk and hi-NRG tracks that are spacey and sleazy, gritty and sublime. Recorded from 1979-1981, these six tracks illuminate what was one of Patrick’s most creatively exciting periods. “If You Feel It” and “Love Me Hot” were both early Paul Parker demos; the former is a peak hour hi-NRG bomb, while the latter dips into Cowley’s zoned-out space disco sound. Jeanie Tracy’s soulful vocals feature on the demo version of “Low Down Dirty Rhythm”, which was later re-recorded by Sarah Dash. The slower, less-varnished rendition here hits with a wild psychedelic edge. Meanwhile, Patrick’s gifts for careful orchestration and infectious melodies shine on “Floating” and “Love and Passion”, which were likely demo tracks for Loverde. The songs on Malebox display the vitality and inventiveness of a brilliant composer taken from us too soon.

Malebox sleeve design was by Gwenaël Rattke, and features a hyper-color retro collage. Also included is an air mail envelope containing a letter from Patrick Cowley to French disco producer Pierre Jaubert as well as liner notes and hand-written lyrics. Malebox will be released on November 12th , which is the 40th anniversary of Patrick’s passing.

Este quinto lanzamiento amplía el entretejido musical del distintivo “sonido borde”. Borde05 sigue sorteando los lugares más comunes de la música electrónica actual, expresándose en texturas deli y ritmos refinados. El álbum se convierte en un diálogo múltiple que entremezcla ambientes y conecta pasajes vocales tanto indefinibles como reales.

Evocando una especie de lenguaje antiguo en “Sucre” y su rito extrasensorial, el tema en manos de Vince (UY) abre el lanzamiento de forma dinámica y un tanto impredecible, de esqueleto mínimal pero con el alma house, este track es ideal para el comienzo de cualquier dj set. Inmediatamente después, los acordes junto a unos sutiles hihats dan bienvenida al tema “BeB” de Antonio Lentini alias Ezzy (ITA), cargado con una vibra de influencia electro y una progresión de acordes que destila una especia de nostalgia positiva, es la pausa meditativa necesaria para el cierre del lado A.

Al comienzo de la cara B, “Global Heat”. La voz de Camilo Castaldi alias Tea-Time (CHI) tratada con efectos y sobre-grabaciones, habla sobre la sociedad actual y su relación tóxico-dependiente con la tecnologia, animales encerrados y contaminación infinita, invita a la reflexión y toman por sorpresa cualquier pista. Esta composición de ritmo dub pero de pulso uptempo ha sido producida por el dúo chileno Area 51 (Rodrigo Valdivia & Camilo Gil). Eso nos llevará al final de este V.A,"See You" es una conclusión ambient con matices IDM y unas progresiones melódicas en eterno ascenso en una amena despedida del disco, ideal para el cierre de cualquier set, una obra hermosa creada por el artista Sasha Nevolin (CZ).

Heretic Electro launches a new quality compilation, giving a modern treatment to the classic electro sound. The release is a tastefully chosen selection, creating a distinctively melancholic and poetic mood, yet each of the five tracks features a unique artistic style, bringing its own colour tone to the overall palette. Surely a must-have for not only the genre connoisseurs, but also lovers of meaningful electronic music alike.

Xenochrony is a various, literally everything : artists, styles, spaces and times. It consists of four new tunes deftly produced between 1999 and today, and you’ll definitely find your cup of tee among.

The opening cut “ Juno ” says it all, a classy House beat rich of riffs and Fx from the good old 106. Following, “ Lost In Schiller, its percussions sit over a hammering bass line making it feel like the early Minimal. We then flip the side to enjoy “ UFO” , what a progressive Techno beauty ! The Ep is closed by the delicious “ Annaeric ”, an emotional standard D&B, containing all that Nostalgia and bringing back the past.

Athenian label FERMA announces the first Vinyl release coming in the form of a VA compilation. “Rites of Passage” is hitting the dancefloors with a variety of different tools and club styles combining deep grooves, electro sounds, rolling basslines and sinister synths.

On the A side, Jack Roland pulls the trigger with “Bizzare” showing once again his unbeatable style of production blending mysterious atmospheres with exceptional grooves. Serge Geyzel adds to the mix a unique deep-head track called “Numb” fusing heavy beats with dark ambient colors and metal percussions.

On the flip side, Vilnius based 5ZYL keeps the energy high with “Keistas Dalykas” that combines a hard-hitting rolling bassline with his personal touch of EBM. The release closes with “System Karma” from the synth-lover Extase Urbaine minimizing the gap between Amsterdam and Athens scenes with his exclusive body music rhythms with trance-y pads.

For the first release out on Entered Records it's EYA boss and London tastemaker, Jos, stepping up with four cuts of moody spirited machine sounds.

Entered, a label set up with the intention to create connection between the U.K, European and Naarm (Melbourne) scenes through music offerings. First up, the EP is full of spiraling emotive melodies and throbbing bass. This includes the introspective title track ‘Absence Of Thought’ with a refreshingly modern breakbeat rethink from Naarm based artist Dashiell alongside it.

Moving onto the B side you have rumbling 909 toms with dramatic swells of synth tension. Coiled energy in the restless amorphous zone, combining progressive elements of techno, electro, acid and everything in between. The EP closes fusing sci-fi melancholic synths, forward moving beats and a bass-line designed to ignite the dancefloor.

Heads-down, locked in music full of precision and class. A perfect alignment of analog sounds channelled from two sides of the globe. Out in July on Entered Records.
