House News

With France's long-fallow club scene back in international resurgence as Paris storms back into fighting form, Europe now has found a new source for yet-unheard music. It was a long time brewing, but names like Concrete, Katapult, Zadig, and Society of Silence, have begun to appear in the international clubbing circuit, and the growth is not limited to the capital. Further south in Lyon, a city quickly gaining its own renown for busy club parties booking bigger names, there exists a smaller circle of energetic operators whose name is also spreading rapidly and whose recent accomplishments include Nuites Sonores, Boilerroom and more. Spearheaded by Kosme, a DJ and producer of quickly increasing notice, the provincial powerhouse has already turned heads throughout France as Kosmo's Caramelo Records was snapped up by legendary Parisian distributor Syncrophone; he has a new label set to launch in 2014. It is with this background in mind that THEMA proudly offers Kosme's international debut, the 'April Moon' EP.

Kosme comes to the table with six tracks of low-slung Detroit-referencing house music laced with extra grit. 'Fondamental' rides shuffling hats and a building acid line to dramatic heights. 'Ever Shake My Mind' is slower and dirtier yet, with crushed hats and a bottom-lurking bass between Theo Parrish-esque drum-machine-down-the-stairs breakdowns. After an interlude, 'Mothafunka' resumes the beatdown with a talkover house track that escalates uncontrollably in intensity as drums shuffle before breaking down in congos & pads. 'Deep Function' dials down to sexier sounds with sultry vocal samples and sampled hiss, but it doesn't lose the drum kink. Finally the digital bonus 'A Thought for Yvonne' is the most subdued and skeletal of all with echoed drums and a lonely bassline tumbling over each other in slow motion.

Following the explosion of new sounds from the capital, it is no surprise to find the movement spreading, and THEMA arrives first with the freshest France has to offer.

For it’s 4th release, Melodeum Records embarked on an epic quest in the search of a treasure which has remained hidden in the musical ether for many suns. After months of digging, a hidden gem emerged, a true diamond in the rough, a life form who only goes by the name of Roluce.
Roluce mastered the binding powers of enthralling House with the drawing influence of Minimal rhythms. Every frequency on the Rogustine EP was individually curated to forge this powerful composition. All 4 original tracks have the power to destroy dancefloors and cause mass euphoria - please play with the utmost care.

Quaaaaaaaaaaaack!!! The second vinyl release for the young, NYC/-Buenos Aires-based label AirDrop Records, Soulclap's "die Ente", comes after a coveted "The Giraffe" by the very same artists.

The Ramen Orchestra is a project musical collaborations between friends

white vinyl only - limited

Originally from Tunisia, Anamorph is one of those great explorers who travel the world in search of new influences, finding inspiration in Romania after a few years of living in Bucharest, he presents Fapte with 2 original tracks to match the identity of the label:

Side A of this white vinyl consists of one original mix - Sub Constienta - with an uplifting baseline, with industrial background textures complete with mesmerizing synths that make your body vibrate to the groove.

On Side B, Swing Altfel is a track that tells the story differently, taking the listener on a long journey thru the sound. Just like the exquisite painting of painter Leonid Afremov, the track it self has many sounds combining one on top of the other in a progressive release of the right amount of joyful vibe; with passages and percussions mixed with tweaked vocals, giving this track the perfect rithm.

Vinyl Only. Limited

One sure thing about featuring Dan Goul in a MixCult release is that his music will always be big on emotion. Next up, “Upon Descent EP” edifices those delicious sounds that those star floating dancers are pulled to. The classy and sensual beats keep always under construction, making the range of the tracks infinitely expandable over time. This release is a very versatile DJ tool, but certainly for those who like to keep it graceful.

Ricardo Villalobos aka Richard Wolfsdorf.

The second release on our recently launched label comes from no other than our unique Ricardo Villalobos, under his germanized moniker "Richard Wolfsdorf". Besides being a world touring Dj and headlining the best clubs and festivals around the planet, he has been a reference producer for everyone interested in forward thinking dance music over the last one and a half decades. At MDRNTY we all love his music, Dj sets and personality and he has been a key player at our events for many years, so it is with great honour that we welcome him on our new label. Faithful to his style, he offers us an over 20 minutes length song divided in two sides. Featuring canadian singer Beaver Sheppard, FIVA is a mind bending minimalistic trip. Beaver's mumbling voices add the perfect balance to Ricardo's abstraction and hypnotism. Once more Ricardo shows us how much can be said with only a few elements and how deep it is possible to dive and wonder into his sparse music landscape.

Three tracks that nicely bend the rules of deep house and push bass lines into the abyss.



A leading member of Hamburg's Smallville Records and one half of the critically-acclaimed and party-proof Smallpeople, Steinhoff
delivers three tracks that nicely bend the rules of deep house, meander the maze of trance-hypnotism, cold-forge metallic
drums and push bass lines into the abyss. A record that owes as much to Larry Heard's way of thinking, as it does to white
rooms and probably subconsciously to James Holden's art of playing records. Built for eternity.

the first release from the labelhead hammered by Richie Hawtin, Raresh, Sebo k, Zip, Johnny D, Gregor Tresher, SIS, Audiofly and Martinez !!

Riss Records Is A New Vinyl Only Label Based In France.

On The First Release Two Originals Track From Dolfeels And One Remix From The Parisian Djebali With Atmospheric Pads And Deep Grooves.

300 Copies, No Repress

Mind Borders is a journey around the various states of consciousness , from the more aligned and lucid one to the most clouded and obscured until it is completely absent and out of focus.

Side A is made of two tracks by the duo Haokah; while in “Clearview” the mood is peaceful and happy, synths are playful and dreamy, accompanied by a solid bass line, in “Misted Mind” we find their typical twist, fast and yet meditative with hypnotic sounds and introspective voices.

Simone Adinolfi closes the EP with an extended track in the B side that incorporates the dark side of the latest times, where heavy and intricate percussions are blended together with mesmerizing and airy harmonies, taking you through different emotions, as an escape from reality to be finding peace.."Out Of Now".


Vinyl only, limited copies.

Another quality release by Vincent Desmont on his own VDR imprint!

With a self-proclaimed goal to showcase newcomers as well as established artists, Melodymathics hands out their 'second punch' with a killer track by Detroit veteran Gari Romalis. Gari is at the forefront of the Detroit techno scene, working close with Terrence
Parker, Mike Banks, Cliff Thomas and labels such as Tresor, Transmat, Soma and many more. His productions clearly show that his 30 years experience Dj'ing made him realize what works on the dancefloor. 'The Web' on Melodymathics Ltd.002 is a sublime example of soulful keys combined with funky rhythm, resulting in the ultimate Dj tool.

Our new talent 'Barce' was discovered in Spain and sets the tone with his 'SP' track for a possible lifetime relationship with Melodymathics. Barce's music speaks parts of his life and relfects a musical image of his soul. 'SP' brings deepness to another level in this release, with a manipulated organ chord - hypnotizing you throughout the whole chord -
and a story being told on top with various snares, dope basslines and sample work.

The traditional endless grooves, provided byThe Melodymann, are a nice addition for any Dj who wants that little extra..

Mutuo means feeling the same emotion, or doing the same between two or more people reciprocally. This is what inspires us to combine the wisdom of experienced artists with fresh energies from emerging ones, representing the Latin-American underground sound.

On our first release we featured young talent Lautaro Scavuzzo with Conexión EP.

Side A features "Conexión" and "Reset", 2 tracks with minimalist overtones that cut through deep, random and jazzy environments.

On the B side, an exquisite delivery by master Alan Castro. In "Conexión remix" he demonstrates his sophisticated style full of complex textures and creative compositions.
