House Vinyl New Releases - News

Big Papa Nugs kicks off the No Dice label with his debut EP.

A killer dancer floor ready four tracker which is guaranteed to make you dance / keep you seated depending on your local restrictions.

Burnski has been as relentless as he has faultless in his work as Instinct. This second album in as many years is another on point garage offering that fuses just the right amount of UKG tradition with forward thinking invention. From sweet-as-chocolate vocal anthems like opener "Show Me" to more dark and twisted late night jams "Select", these are killer cuts with kinetic kicks that cannot fail to get you on your toes. Further highlights come in the form of hyper-speed jam "Twister" with reversed stabs that will melt your face, and the deep bass drills of "Hologram". Point Of View is some seriously heavy weaponry, then.

Small Moves level up with a killer debut EP from Dufi. Slick, skillful and precise, no button bashing here.

London Underground garage artist "Highrise" joins the ever expanding and highly regarding Rhythm 'N' Vibe label.

Orbital London, a label with UK flavours embedded in its ethos. They mark their next chapter with the ‘Dartford Crossing’ EP featuring founder, Jack Michael and on fire producer, Alec Falconer.

Time to get busy! ‘Holding it Down’ ignites the EP with it’s killer broken drums, splashes of acid, and old school vocal sample. Essentially everything you want from a 90’s rave anthem, but in modern times. Alec steps up for his ‘Over the Bridge’ interpretation of ‘Holding It Down’ a simpler structure than the original, but not to be underestimated. A squelchy bass line infused with garage drum work.

On the flip Falconer provides ’40oz’ a progressive arrangement which leads you in to a feel good energy, with infectious keys, and pensive pads. In return Jack conjures up his ‘Through the Tunnel Mix’ of ‘40oz’ taking things up a notch with its bending twists and turns, a gritty heads down affair from the talented producer.

The raw sounds of the producers and the Orbital London tenacity strike again, maintaining their status as an essential label.

Mystery white label launches with a single-sided 12" that blends familiar UK Garage samples along with rolling tech house beats.

MASC, the dynamic duo made up of Mark Archer and Shadow Child return to Super Rhythm Trax with an absolute belter of an EP. The A side hits you in the gut with 'Nine Oh' and 'Yih', two hard, funky and intensely tunnel vision tracks almost reminiscent of 90's Dan Bell and DJ Hyperactive in their outlook. Flip the record for a real treat of a remix from Dance System (Night Slugs/Clone etc) of 'Eye Feel' (the breakaway hit from the last MASC ep SRTX 024) where genres and tempos are thrown in the blender to create a masterful and extremely fun version that's as effective as it is playful. The EP is rounded off with 'WKP', a wistful ode to the pairs love of late 80's freestyle and electro.

For DSD023, Bailey Ibbs serves up a killer with his ‘Gurl’ EP. The A side delivers 3 Bailey originals, each serving up a different mood best suited for the dance floor. Where the B side provides 3 completely different flips of ‘Gurl’ delivered to you by Groovy D, Denham Audio & AK Sports.

dle Hands opens up 2021 with a new record from Dream Cycle. While being a new name on the label they continue on from a stellar run of records for Social Sneaker Club. Here they continue their exploration of the hardcore continuum via dubby garage, mellow house and electro.

Record opener ‘Jump Blue’ starts with dreamy pads creating blue moods; opening up into choral pads and a bouncy bassline reminiscent of early records on the label by Facta and Shanti Celeste. Next comes ‘All The Things’ which heads straight to the dancefloor with a swinging 2-step beat, chopped vocals and dubby chords.

On the flip ‘Sonntags’ is an electro track based on subtle keys and suspended chords. Perfect for the end of the night for those willing to experience the journey to the very end. Closing the record we have Deep Dream G rolling at a very casual 92bpm; low tempo vibes with style and grace.

Borde - Uruguay
Only vinyl record label

Four of the best from Field's 2003 CD-only album, Cocoon. Remastered for a first pressing on vinyl.

Incl. Chris Geschwindner Remix

To kick off with their series, SINM presents its first record: First try Fridays (incl. Chris Geschwindner remix). The tree tracker consists of a blend between UK Garage, House and Electro to bring forward cutting edge rave sensations with futuristic vibes.

A side takes you straight to a two-stepper projectile, setting the tone with "First Try Fridays" and its powerful wobble sub and short electric stabs. Perfect for threatening the dance-floor in peak time hours alongside mysterious DDA's approach.

On the flip side, Realness teleports you to a nostalgic scenario with its polished chord progressions and breakbeat strikes. Slowly building up with vocal cuts and glitchy transitions, B2 reaches a both nostalgic and mysterious climax. To close the EP, Beam Dump's boss man captures the beautiful essence of Realness bringing beach-like sensations to a tune that's perfect for warming up a dance-floor or enjoying the after-hours.

More to come soon from the SINM crew, stay tuned!

Inside Out is a brand-new series that invites DJs and producers to blur the boundaries between traditional artist albums and mix compilations. Coming from Aus Music label head and DJ-Kicks curator Will Saul, the concept encourages artists to showcase their own music and or the music of those in their own individual circles. The mix will be release digitally and on CD, while a selection of the tracks will also be available on double gatefold vinyl.

Each instalment will feature 100% new and unreleased music. It is a chance for artists to take sole creative charge, A&R as they see fit and then commission brand new music specifically for the cause. Depending on who is at the helm, Inside Out will take different forms: producers may wish to represent their own sound with only music they have made themselves or with close collaborators, while DJs and label heads may wish to reflect the sounds and scenes that surround them. The results will be a window into an artist's world that works as a coherent mix, but also as a treasure trove of fresh new music that steps outside the usual lines of a dance album.

The idea stems from Will Saul's own approach in the club, which often finds him seeking out brand new and unheard music to play for the first time. That feeling of taking people into the unknown is one that reminds him of the energy and excitement of his early days as a dancer.

For Will's mix he enlists an array of artists who he's worked with over the years, many of whom have released on one of his labels in that time. These include the likes of Lone, Pearson Sound, Move D, Gerd, Youandewan, Martyn, Falty DL, Dauwd, Appleblim and Marquis Hawkes.

Mak & Pasteman finally make it to UTTU, something that has been in the works for a while, DJ Haus launches a new off-shoot ‘Dancetraxx’ for the occasion and here we are with Volume 1. Two tracks, a Deep House number and the crazy cool Garage inspired “T2000”. Fresh from their release on Lobster Boy which is out now.

Off the back of the “Dartford Crossing” EP with Alec Falconer, label founder Jack Michael returns for a solo outing with four dynamite productions entitled, “South East Vice”.

“Mr Nice” has a killer sidewinding bass line which sits comfortably between the gentle synths and deeper vibes of the track. Title track “South East Vice” creeps with a more mysterious and serious energy, jam packed with sounds of the early rave days.

On the flip “Rampage” does exactly as it says on the tin, urgent, and direct, the ghetto vocal pays homage to garage sounds of the past, grime like synths flash in and out - going back to the roots. Showing no signs of slowing things down, the B2, “The Grotty Choir” is a slick and pacey broken beat number, with speedy shuffling drums and chunky bass, on a jungle tip.

Another display of dance floor bedlam from Jack Michael and the Orbital London outfit, enforcers of modern day rave moods out of the UK. Prolific sounds once more.

Nathalie Capello, Berlin based DJ/Producer's first release straight into the UQ family. A 5 tracker ranging from Soulful R&B to House to Garage, straight to the big room banger. A unique 90's infused sound !

LEMAIA001 is a limited edition V.A. featuring four 90’s flavoured house and breakbeat cuts by Ben Balance, Julian Anthony, Kizoku and Le Louche with full colour artwork by US painter Kevin Sabo. Founders Alexia Glensy and Sofia Tabet were both raised in Sao Paolo and currently living in Amsterdam and London. With a fierce passion and unique vision, the duo is set to introduce some Brazilian colour to their European surroundings. LeMaia is also a boutique clothing brand and set to promote label showcases.

The past few years have seen UKG come right back around with a host of new producers and legendary heads alike, laying down 2 step heaters and 4x4 rollers to satisfy the appetite of the garage crew out there. Certified royalty, Tru Faith and About 2 are no exception, back in the studio and taking either side of this 12 inch for a double dose of sweet swung, US tinged garage gold, that will be sure to cause back to back wheel ups in the dance.

Already getting heavy plays on Kiss, Rinse, Flex, Centreforce alongside a bunch of the other pirate and underground stations, you know this ones gonna be good.

"Don't Need A Lover" and "I Got Something Here", two more early 90's N.Y. house tracks out on Groovin Recordings.

Cologne's Johannes Kolter made his name as DJOKO, but his most recent outing under that alias for Talman Records also included a pair of tracks credited to Kolter. It's that artistic alias he's chosen to use on this single, which introduces the world to debutant imprint PILOT. It's an EP that's well worth checking out, not least for deliciously bass-heavy opener 'Went Too Far', a weighty, stab-happy and sample-heavy affair that recalls the occasional electro tracks made by early blepe & bass and hardcore producers. Garage-influenced breakbeat workout 'Get Into It' is another funk-fuelled treat, while jungle-influenced breaks shuffler 'Selectoor'sic is a bass-heavy beast. The German successfully rounds off a fine EP via 'Illumination', which reminded us a little of Orbital's most melodious early moments.

Stepback Records returns in 2021 with Dunning Krueger – First Love EP. Krueger (Waze + Odyssey’s Street Tracks, Massa Records, Me Me Me) makes his debut on Edinburgh's own Stepback Records with 3 cool cuts, mixing influences from house, garage and 2-step. Backed with an impeccable remix from London's finest Mr Beatnick (Don’t Be Afraid, NTS) - First Love EP delivers a sumptuous and versatile release on Stepback Records.

New Jersey's Toothgrinder have been active since 2010, hitting their stride with their debut album Nocturnal Masquerade in 2016 and following it up sharply with Phantom Amour. Quite rightly their breakthrough album, it saw the band amp up all aspects of their sound, from the powerful pop-minded harmonizing to the hyper-sheen of the guitars. Embracing an electronic attitude to production that adds a hi-tech finish to their full-fat, emo-tinged songs, it's a perfect document of a band with a lot to say and an irrepressible energy. Now repressed dude to popular demand, the album once again takes up three sides, with the fourth given over to an etching.

Hej! For ESO-003 we’ve tapped into that Århus connection again. DJ Sports coming in bass heavy with three tracks made for the club. A little dubsteppy, a little garagey, a lotta good. Produced with love and cut nice n loud to be played at 45.

Repress !

Another 4 cuts of proper HARDLINE goodness.
Heady, swinging, club music done right.
Best served with Calvin Kleins.

Third Place captain Will Hofbauer steps up to the plate with 3 freshly laid eggs of barn-storming oddball dance music for night clubs.

Early support for the A side coming from Hessle heroes Joe & Ben UFO.

Giddy-up!

With the subsequent, planet-sized addition in its musical orbit, Sentry welcomes another critically acclaimed bass music veteran to its coveted artist roster. SP:MC, a multi-faceted producer and vocalist, who cemented his status as a highly talented producer with outstanding releases through Tempa and System among others. Apart from his long-standing residency for the legendary Fabric night club, he's a regular on the microphone for some of the world's most distinguished Drum & Bass and Dubstep events, living and breathing sound system culture. For the eleventh release of Youngsta's imprint, SP:MC takes us all back into a golden age, captivating the charm of old school sonics with riveting minimalism and skank-inducing swing, and extending the iconic flavours of 2-Step, Garage and Breaks into the 21st century - clocking in at 135 BPM.

Conveying hazy and tape-ridden notions, 'Vintage' sets us off on a groove-inducing flow with tempered chord, lush echoes, and intimate vocal fragments. Murderous break-beat rhythms are laid out with unequivocal finesse as the UK-based prodigy delivers heritage sounds in contemporary attire. Classic foley samples interweaved with modern sound design - engineered for the heads. 'Slugfest' commands a more aggressive tone, introducing itself with slick, hallowed percussion and haunting ambience. With the doomsday bassline promptly kicking in, a super-charged groove armada unfolds - heavyweight business. Hypnotic drums hook into your motor cortex as every last cell of your body intermingles with the vibrant low-frequency surges, blasting from the sound system. Scrupulously switching up the push-and-pull dynamics throughout the arrangement, every sound component working at full capacity and in a supremely refined style. Bass music connoisseurs all over, rejoice! These breaks are for you.

Almost a year on from their debut joint single ‘Jesse James’ on WotNot Records, South London producer Dampé and Bristolian MC Mushkilla once again join forces, this time taking to XVI Records for their driving new single ‘Ghost Mode’.

With Mushkilla working closely with rising dubplate label EC2A, and Dampé putting out a series of heralded 12”s on Capitol K’s Faith And Industry Records and Singapore-based imprint Darker Than Wax, both artists have been riding busy schedules since their first release. With praises coming from Tom Ravenscroft, Mixmag, Dummy, DJ Mag, Jamz Supernova & more, they have both cemented themselves as artists to keep a keen eye on in the UK’s bass music communities.

‘Ghost Mode’ sees Mushkilla’s signature baritone vocals gliding over Dampé’s shifting sonic backdrop. Subterranean basslines, chopped breaks, vinyl crackles, stuttering vocal snippets and saturated eski-beat melodies reverberate through the murky haze in this twisted UKG stepper.

Kepler has already been on a barnstorming run over the past 12 months with key drops on Pleasure Zone, Hoarder and Discotech amongst many others, not to mention his killer garage excursions as 0113. Now he shores up on Constant Sound with some fizzing, energetically charged techno that packs a punch and dazzles on top thanks to an acute sense of melody. DX7 organ basslines collide with cosmic arps and a thumping rhythm section on "Contact", while "Afterglow" takes things a little deeper without dropping the tempo. "Movement" revels in a cascade of interwoven synth lines, while "Pulse" takes a leaner, clubbier route without losing that up-for-it rush around the upper 120 BPM range.

Exciting new imprint Humanoid enters the fold with a debut from UK-based label co-owners 4D&Krunky. This impressive first outing from the duo shows off some of their varied influences, from the earliest tech-house sounds to breakbeat, electro and beyond.

The A-side serves up two heavyweight slices, with the dancefloor-ready rolling bass and old-school synths of 'Opelescot' followed up by the heavy breakbeats, stabs and atmosphere of 'Swim with the Tide'. The B-side shows a different side to the boys productions, 'Stunt Bubble' rolling along with uplifting arpeggio lines and fun-loving leads supported by a weighty baseline before 'Seasaw' finishes out the EP joyfully with it's sun-washed nostalgia and playful elements.

Soul Mass Transit System returns to Time Is Now with the weighty ‘Blocked’ EP featuring a collaboration with legendary vocalist Killa P.

Mysterious producer Soul Mass Transit System has been pumping out some serious twelves this year, with killer cuts on labels such as Warehouse Rave, Time Is Now & Rhythm & Vibe. His latest outing ‘Blocked’ EP is the rising producers weightiest work to date, lead track ‘Blocked’ featuring legendary ex Roll Deep member Killa P does some serious damage, backed with three rolling UKG cuts of groovers and movers, best played loud.

Anz makes her Hessle Audio debut with a club-ready three track EP, following releases on the label by Pearson Sound and Pangaea in July. Lead track 'Loos In Twos (NRG)' goes turbo, with a ruffneck bassline, clattering breakbeats and dramatic rave stab breakdowns all combining to memorable, killer effect. On the B side, 'Gary Mission' gets loose with disorientating flanged FX and a wriggling low end, with the minimal beat track 'Stepper' using sharp vocal snippets and chest-rattling sub to light up the dance.

Anz is a DJ and Producer based in Manchester (via London, Liverpool and Madrid). Renowned for her genre-spanning productions and mixes, she unearths the links between Electro, UK Garage, Jungle and more, underpinning a versatile take on contemporary UK club music that is as bright as it is unpredictable.

Jhelisa Anderson's voice was ubiquitous throughout the mid 90's and beyond, her debut LP Galactica Rush had been released by Dorado to critical acclaim and Friendly Pressure was a huge single that crossed numerous underground borders, finding favour with soul fans and clubbers and DJ's alike, providing a late-night/early morning soundtrack to weekends spent partying, expressing and hanging out.

Dorado commissioned numerous remixes of this future classic, but it was Ceri Evans' aka Sunship whose 2-step/UKG remixes in 1998 solidified Friendly Pressure as a stone-cold pirates anthem, a total smash on the buzzing UK Garage scene. Evans had been a member of the UK's legendary Jazz-funk outfit The Brand New Heavies, so his sound was a swinging fusion of soul, jazz and snapping UKG drum programming.
Fused with Jhelisa's beautiful voice, the Sunship mixes are now regarded as classics and will undoubtedly bring the vibes to any dancefloor, sounding as fresh and soulful as they did back in 1998.

Friendly Pressure has been legitimately re-released with the full involvement of Dorado Recordings and was remastered by London's Curve Pusher from the original DAT's especially for Mint Condition. 100% legit, licensed and released. Dug, remastered, repackaged and brought to you by the caring folks at your favourite reissue label - Mint Condition!

Sound of Ukg & 2-step trax on this wax.

DJ support from Brackles and Peverelist.

Samrai is a founding member of Swing Ting, a DJ and production squad behind club nights of the same name in Manchester. They have two 12"s to their name on Fat City (Head Gone and Creepin) as well as remixes for Mosca, Murlo and Beneath. Riddim Trax is Samrai's first solo release.

His 'riddims' are deceptively simple fusions taking in a spectrum of soundsystem influences and UK dance music, including dancehall, soca, afrobeats and UK garage. The EP opens with the summery "Let It Ride", featuring Swing Ting MC Mr Fox's vocal in classic singjay mode. Instrumental version "Responsibility Riddim" follows, before the B-side plunges into more rugged territory with "Problematic Riddim" and the brutal "Concrete Riddim".
