House Vinyl New Releases - News

Mantra Collective Records launches with David Gtronic - Patrior EP demonstrating David's slightly darker side in two carefully considered arrangements. Patior contorts a bassline around a driving, textural foundation with a vocal guaranteed to bring moments of dance-floor clarity. Layers of rolling percussion, dubby abstractions, and a writhing low end compliment each other in the powerful Amvian.

Romania's VID takes elements from both A-side cuts with his Patiormvian Reconstruction mix, fusing incidental sounds with his renowned atmospheric approach. Balance is found and respect demonstrated in this moving interpretation.

Hungarian producer Giash has been on Metroline Limited radar for quite some time. It took a while to get him on board but the wait is finally over: the misteriously titled Sen_d_Ingo Ep is here and it is super-tasty!

An expert crafter of minimal beats and hypnothic grooves, Giash career has spanned over 10 years with his productions being released on wax through seminal labels such as Archipel, Plaisir, Why So Series and many more.

The opening track, Brunc_hc-_h, give us the first shot of underscores and a high dosage of machine funk minimalism. It's a full on/slow-mo industrial churning groover with sci-fi licks and lush pads work!

The second cut on the A side it's the beatiful Imagin__ary and it's deep minimalism at the highest level. It's a great mixture of new and old as far as reduced jacking grooves are concerned.
It could have easily fitted in the late 90's Perlon/Playhouse era but it surely sounds as current, fresh and forward thinking now.

Side B is solely occupied by the tripped out grooves of Sen_d_ingo. Close your eyes, imagine yuorself in an East London basement at the darkest of after-parties, this track is the perfect fit for that particular moment.
Over 13 minutes of dark and hypnotic beauty, the track is crunchy and punchy with a wigglesome broken rhythm, some subtle synth variations and plenty of dark and deep atmoshperics!

BH003 comes in the form of another 4 track EP from our own Jorg Kuning. Drawing as much from the collective euphoria of the dance as his expansive surroundings in the Welsh valleys; these four carefully crafted tracks evolve and pulsate with a driving, essential life force.

The EP starts with ‘Vera’ - a joyful and tender exercise in dance floor functionality. Round kicks and an undulating bass line lay the cement for flowing and idiosyncratic melodies. This is followed by ‘Quixo’, where sparse metallic percussion is peppered with life affirming bleeps, topped off with transcendent chords that could roll out indefinitely.

The B side begins with ‘Spirals’. Here Jorg temporarily ditches his characteristic playfulness in aid of a thunderous dance floor destroyer. Psychedelic, atonal yelps twist around a powerfully dubbed out rhythm section - willingly forcing us into a cosmic dread march. Closing the party is ‘Aevr’ - fluttering synth arpeggios echo into cold, glassy percussion and moody bass lines, a perfect example of Jorg’s distinctive style: at once meditative and floor-focused.

Fresh from their release on John Digweed's Bedrock Records under their more covert Techno guise 'Cypherpunx' the Brighton based duo Flip Fantazia unleash their debut album ‘The Trip’.
Touching on influences from Air to Bonobo, The xx to DJ Shadow, ‘The Trip’ guides you down a road less travelled meandering through Downtempo, Electronica & Trip Hop with a few Jazzy twists & turns.
Essentially Flip Fantazia is a meeting of two minds,
four hands, several synths, quite a few guitars, some very clever computer software with a variety of drum machines. The prolific duo spend most of their time writing, recording, producing, mixing & mastering original music down in an old bank vault in Brighton... well, Hove actually! Their real names… Douglas Horner & Tim Belcher.
Born from a project focussed mainly on music for Sync, writing for Ninja Tune PM, Cavendish Music, Delimusic, BMG PM & Deep East + more this is their first artist album to be commercially released.
Their first brief for Ninja Tune’s Production Music company was to create an authentic 60s sounding Samba song and a Boogaloo / Salsa, both of which appear on the Ninja Tune Latin Excursions album.
Along with a contemporary breaks / glitch remix of the classical masterpiece Flight Of The Bumblebee and a piece of funk with a foodie flavour for two other Ninja Tune production music albums. Another brief came in for some Australian influenced Beach House from delimusic to be used on the BBC Commonwealth Games Gold Coast 2018 coverage, so out came the Didgeridoo and five new tracks were born. Writing to brief is a delight & an adventure for Flip Fantazia covering many genres from authentic Samba to electro disco new-wave post modern cosmic soul funk afro-boogie punk alt+indie dance crossover and everything in between! So it was tough to narrow The Trip down to 10 original tracks which best illustrate the authentic Flip Fantazia sound.

Mysterious new label. No names, no art just let the music do the talking

'EDIT PIAF is Barcelona based limited white label. Its first reference: EDIT PIAF 01 is now out! It features 2 dancefloor oriented edits from talented secret artists.'

MIA010, this will be a special VA with some great artists!

LIRIK is a concept made by Libe & Trik (Lucian Rotaru & Constantin Leonard), two romanian producers who became friends thanks to music it self. Discovering they have the same 'feel' and 'taste' in music they got together and gave birth to these 4 mind-blowing tracks. The minimal sound & breaks with some vocal jazzy influences make this EP unique, original, happy and deep in the same time.

Lisbon's Carpet & Snares Records continues its form with the latest concoction from local magicians
Pandilla LTD. Over a huge rumbling bassline and syncopated chords, 'Bleu' snaps its fingers and
shakes its hips along with the best of them, while 'Muphrid' has a darker, more heads-down approach
to keeping the floor locked in. On the B, Dan Andrei takes 'Bleu' for a 10-minute walk on the wild side,
clockwork percussion and a cyclical bassline creating some sanity in amongst which all manner of
mischief can be found

Eagervision is back with a bang a year after its first vinyl-only release. This new compilation pushes the quality even higher, merging four top-notch tracks from some of the label’s top producers, each one bringing a special touch to it while following a common leitmotif of crisp, futuristic, house beats.

Alffie has been perfecting a fresh and original minimal sound that is exemplified in the opening track “Be Bop”, a flawless piece of quality modern house music. The energic A-Side continues with ‘Directionless’ by Leeds’ producer Pük, a middle-of-the-night microhouse tune that feels ready to smash the dancefloor.

On the B-Side the sound gets calmer, but also deeper. The affirmed Romanian producer Octave dives deep in a collaboration with a new face for Eagervision, Specter, while the Italo-Romanian duo Nedeea close the LP in style with the mysterious ‘Suflet’.

There’s no doubt: Eagervision is taking it to the next level, perfecting its sound and contributing to innovating the scene by telling a story with every single release.

" ‘Entity EP’ encounters both a happy spirit and two fathomless spirits who dwell in limbo ready to tell the first tale. On side A Wendel Sield displays two original cuts who embody the label's direction.

‘Missing Chant’ is an uplifting rhythmic track full of liquid Rhodes and layered percussion followed by sonic fm synth line. Where as ‘Obeah Rhythm’ takes the EP to a deeper spectrum with evolving pads and hypnotic percussion. On the B side Trinidadian Deep took a deeper organic take on the main track making an infinite flow of percussion layers accompanied by ever evolving moog synth line.

Obia Records' name is inspired by the Obiaman - a spiritual healer from Surinamese and Caribbean culture, often good, sometimes evil. Obiaman resides in the jungle where he practices magical sessions to heal the mind, body and soul. Rhythm and chanting is his tool to guide those who seek a deeper meaning or healing through a journey of music and dance. "

Having previously released on Perlon, Trapez and Karat whilst also contributing to the legendary Fabric mix cd's, remixing Massive Attack and Matthew Johnson, we are very proud that this prolific producer enters the realm of Quartet Series. Akufen who practically invented micro house with his inimitable stylish productions now gives us a warm, deep and freaky EP. Those who get their ears around this one are in for a treat. This is the fourth and last instalment of the Bodybuilder Quartet, make sure you have your Quartet complete.

Composed by two original tracks, the third cut of BLUE series invites you to transcend and expand your thoughts deep into the unmistakable sound of Barac.

It's Sunday. You're at the after party. And the DJ is playing white label edits you've never heard before.

Romana Records 003 Takes a slightly different route this time we got a original from Ted Amber Botanic Minds sunset Series and a remix from Magnus Asberg and a stella remix from TIJN Curte Vache,Moss Co. The original has been been a firm favorite for Arapu for some time now.

An integral part of the OPIA family from its early stages, and long time resident, Audri delivers their eighth release. ‘Tappo Di Ferro’ stretches across unexplored territory, making this a refreshing offering from the label. Opener, ‘Background Radiation’ steers through the synonymous rave energy we have come to the love from the label, chunky drums meeting with twists and bleeps. ‘Ihr Lied’ kicks off the deeper vibe, with distinct synths carrying the track. A different flavour with ’Zisco United’ upbeat, minimal flair, with a squiggling bass line funk! ‘Like A Train’ on the B side runs like a dream, ready for hazy mornings on dance floors again. Closing the EP is an intelligently arranged, sub heavy monster from the Italian entitled ‘9 Evolution’. It is no surprise the Demut founder has nailed this turn out on his closely affiliated OPIA Records. This marks his third outing on the label, previously found on VA’s ‘Elektropia’ and ‘Lyla’s World’ with single tracks, ‘Tappo Di Ferro’ marks his debut solo release on the imprint.

Contemplate, reflect, observe and record. Constanijn Lange presents a story of reminiscence and memory, partial witnesses of past and present journeys. Ideas and ideals of what has been and what could have been entangled between complementing poles of drive and meditation. The result is his rst full length album and a personal story that unfolds all its details the closer you get.

Serenity Records is a new not-for-profit record label, aimed at raising essential awareness on the growing epidemic of mental health within the music industry, whilst also donating all proceeds of its project to various mental health charities. One of the key features of the project is to allow the artists commissioned for each EP to have the opportunity to select the particular charity that their work will support. So for 001, John Shima & Mihail P's EP will support the work of Music Minds Matter - a charity unquestionably leading the way in making a difference to mental health issues in the music industry. The inaugural EP beautifully intertwines between floaty synth work and hypnotic percussion - adequately serving its purpose as a resource for music lovers looking to seek refuge away from whatever problems they may face.

Constant Black continue to bring you the finest in minimal tech house from underground operators and upfront scene leaders alike. This time around they're welcoming back the ever-prolific Noha, who first inaugurated the label back in 2016 with the "Hamal" 12". This time around he's debuting the ISKRA alias, which comprises more of the keenly sculpted, propulsive but healthily unusual brand of minimal house he's been known for, but with an added emphasis on interesting rhythmic formations. "Every Day I Spend With You" is especially delightful on the ears, while "Escape The Sleep" should appeal to those seeking pure, unadulterated, deep grooves

"Sydney Valette" is one of the most fresh, renowned and notable synth acts of France, good proof of it are the dozens of intercontinental gigs he’s playing on the best festivals and hottest clubs among the best artists nowadays. His simple and very direct arrangements use to capture any listener in very few seconds because he’s probably the most “pop” artist of Oráculo Records.

All tracks have been specially remastered for LONG CUT Vinyl by Daniel Hallhuber at Young & Cold Studios!

The first instalment of this mysterious label brings a low slug rework and the b-side brings an original slice of ethnic infused minimal.

PURISM is back on track with another big release.

In Search of Ancient Civilization is an contemporary electronic work at its finest, although the tools used to shape its sound are linked to a folk tradition. For that matter the album features musicians from within Vakula's creative circle. Tracks that needed specific vocals and also rare instruments such as harp, fujara, tambourine have been produced in collaboration with Olena Nevertii and Yaroslav. The artist has sampled himself while throat singing along with field recordings in natural surroundings.

There's a message behind the carefully made-by-hand fantasy aesthetics of the production and its unconventional voice. Vakula's fascination with the Ancient world moved him through the history of humanity, to the point where his findings were insightful enough to warn the listener: "It's time to wake up".

''Ruyzdael presents Writers on Wax Volume 1: The Sound of Graffiti, a compilation album with 8 exclusive, primarily electronic tracks by producers from four different countries who are more (in)famous as graffiti writers than as musicians.''Letters on a wall, letters on a train. When you take it back to that essence, it?s really not so strange that graffiti writers call themselves and each other writers. With just a few letters ? a word, a name ? they write their mythology for a general audience. No huge vocabulary needed, just imagination and a need for expression. It can come as no surprise that those qualities extend to other disciplines as well. Graffiti has long been associated with musical styles (hip-hop, punk) that contain an abundance of imagination and expression. Less well known is the fact that graffiti writers have embraced the DIY approach of electronic music. Writers on Wax Volume 1 is a group exposition of beats and basslines, imagination and expression. Sometimes using a lot of words, usually none or very few. The dance floor has its own myths.

LowMoneyMusicLove presents 5 bassline driven dance tracks by two of its founders, Avos. This EP is tributed to all people who they met during their musical journey.

Vinyl will feature Individual, hand illustrated sleeves.
Distraction combines thundering bass elements from darker techno with deeper, emotive pads and flourishes to create a meditative yet driving late night groove. Best used to hush dance floor chatter in favour of getting heads down and putting a shift in.
Static and Choke also play with juxtapositions of light and dark elements, with Choke being the firmer of the two. Both offer sounds ideal for creating trippy and introspective dance floor moments, while not allowing those hard fought for energy levels to drop.

Having re-launched the Secretsundaze label last summer with their 'Stand Up' EP, the Secretsundaze production team make a marked return with the aptly titled 'Devious' EP. This follows on from a bunch of releases on the label from Silvestre, Carista, Eliphino and Joe Claussell.Secretsundaze also recently started a new re-edit series 'Secretsundaze Edits' with a contribution from themselves and Ge-ology topping Juno's Bestsellers charts (no.1 All Genres) for a good stint of February, gaining love from the likes of Gilles Petterson, Mary Anne Hobbs & Antal along the way. The pair have also recently released on esteemed labels such as Live at Robert Johnson, Phonica and Mule Musiq.

The Drip EP brings together four distinctive producers and one set of sounds - The Drips. The result is a compilation of 4 tracks that bring the swing and sampling of some of Accidental Jnr's finest to produce a soaking wet dancefloor.

First up is label boss Matthew Herbert with a trademark groove that harks back to his Wishmountain moniker albeit found lurking in the swamp. Cosmo Sheldrake takes a slight departure from his usual multi-instrumentaling live-looping avant-folk to deliver a track that could only be described as travelling circus aqua-techno. Bahraini born, French / US bred and now Edinburgh dwelling video game builder, sound designer and sometime Scottish league football referee Yann Seznec opens the B-side with an absolute stormer of a rain drenched club hook. Sussex based producer Crewdson and builder of such electronic instruments as the Eggiophone and Concertronica closes proceedings with a drizzling evolving 2-step number.

Hard hitting guaranteed floor burning techno...will be supported by sven vaeth, villalobos and hawtin for sure !!!

Bruno Schmidt's Domesticated imprint returns with its third release, heralding the comeback of noughties minimal house hero Marc Ashken. Under his new alias SHKN, he's already presented a couple of EPs on London's Subsequent, in addition to releasing tracks recently as Thread and Lost Property (with Ben Micklewright). The track titles on 003 display what's possibly his original date of creation, we're just pleased they didn't just got stuck on his hard drive. Starting off with a curveball in the form of off-kilter electro funk jam "01_06_17" it is soon business as usual from this stalwart of the minimal scene: from the hypnotic and bass-driven afterhours groove of "9_9_2015" to the quirky and reductionist glitch funk of "10_10_16". Welcome back, Mr Ashken!

Adam Pits & Lisene suit up and shoot straight for the stars as Space Cadets on the newest Seven Hills release, SHR002. Driving, gutteral and bass-heavy, Space Cadets combat the predisposed semblance of 'space music' with a collection of fast, pumping, uncompromising club music.
Trance-infused, breaks-splattered tech-house from Adam Pits, a broken beat UK bass & techno fusion from Lisene, and a serene warping remix delivered by equally gifted producer No Moon, we're excited to hear these tracks grace dancefloors throughout this galaxy and beyond.

Number Five is alive! Red Ember Records presents nothing short than another subaqueous house odyssey on its ‘Deepsounds’ imprint. On in the wax, number five sees its first duo appearance with Sauco & Prakash, alongside Frankie Soukal, Erell Ranson and ‘TH pressing’ boss Tominori Hosoya.
