Now teaming up with the hottest imprint in House music, MOTHER RECORDINGS, the duo makes their debut on the record label with a floor stomping two tracker.

Igniting the dancefloor with "Red', the duo builds immediate intensity through a chunky house groove, warbling bassline and official vocal clearance of Tweet feat. Missy Elliott - "Oooops (Oh My)". Sweet harmonious chord sequences slowly enter and prepare the stage for round two as they deliver one last thunderous strike.

In "Together", the duo drop their signature slamming house groove around a set of smooth chordal progressions. "Together' features the beautiful voice of GEORGIA CECILLE, her deep and soulful vocals burst into life and effortlessly takes the track and you away.

Berlin's number one label for party starting, rule breaking house music is MOTHER RECORDINGS and they are back with another huge tune, this time from label bossman NHAN SOLO. He has already had a big tune with Robert Owens this year and continues to serve up fresh sounds that are high impact and essential. Now he does so again with his excellent latest effort.

- Akira" is a tense, energetic cut with huge vocal samples exploding over big, bouncing drums. The track bursts with percussive energy and has robust synths adding colour. It's a dynamite track that is sure to blow up the floor exactly as Mother likes it.

We come back with a fresh single “Nowhere In Milano” by Dumming Dum featuring Rush Midnight. The 21st release in the label catalogue brings the original composition together with three remixes from Alex Schaufel, Rafael Cerato and Justin Cholewski.

Dumming Dum together with Rush Midnight has become the members of the Runemark family with their debut “Three Pills Into A Fist”.
This time the tasty original “Nowhere In Milano” created by Dumming Dum and Rush Midnight maintains deep and cozy characteristics yet also keeps it groovy and tight for the dance floors.
Amazing and full of energy remix from Alex Shaufel delivers the great feeling of togetherness blurring the boundaries between Nu Disco and energetic House music.
Rafael Cerato’s remix grabs it from the start. Uplifting, powerful and charismatic. Acidic and aggressive bass line, confident beats and massive synths pushes the levels of House and Techno.
The last but not least remix in the package comes from Justin Cholewski. Raw, unstoppable with a taste of trippiness is the signature of Justin. Technological and machinery resound overlayed with creamy vocals from Rush Midnight fulfills the whole release.

“Nowhere In Milano” is available in both physical vinyl and digital formats. Enjoy the music!

Full Pupp is 15 years old and we’re marking the occasion by inviting old and new friends to contribute a track each. Henning Severud aka Telephones returns to Full Pupp with this beast of a track. Marius Våreid contributes with this lovely ditty that fell between the cracks some years ago. In preparation of a promised forthcoming album Christian does what Christian does best - four on the floor. Norwegian techno’s grand old man Per Martinsen most likely recorded his parts during the northern norwegian summer. The shutters couldn’t keep the sunlight out.

Pittsburgh producer C. Scott follows up his debut Pittsburgh Tracks release from 2018. After being featured on the Planet E compilation Detroit Love 3 by Waajeed and being part of the Pittsburgh Track Authority PA System album, Charlie returns with a perfect end of Summer EP of house music. The star of the EP is "Leaving U": a beautiful deep track that is so catchy you'll find yourself thinking about the hook days later.

This is the new Toy Tonics EP… and we going straight to the 1980ies.. or is it already the 90ies? Anyway. One of our buddies called it: Loopy dream house meets synth-heavy disco! And this could fit. Its definitely coming out of the very surreal world of Magou.
But who is MAGOU?
Can you keep a secret? Ha! No, you can’t.
The producer behind this record is very well known in the contemporary disco scene, but this project is so fresh it also needed a fresh name like all things on Toy Tonics. It’s all about the music. Get the record and savour the mystery.
And in case u discover the name behind Magou.. because u know his vibe.. let Toy Tonics know.. u might get a prize!

“Come down to earth, it’s nice here.” Skateboarding is fun. Fertig.

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of signing your first release with a record label. The combination of pride, anxiety and anticipation is almost unbearable. In the end, you get to hold your own record in your hands and realize this could be the start of something beautiful. In this case, it’s newcomers Makèz who get amped up for this with their debut release on Heist.

Makèz (formed by Jan-Willem Mulder and Kees van ‘t Klooster) are a duo from Amsterdam, where they both studied music production and sound design. Apart from DJ’ing under various aliases, they’ve also been organizing their own successful intimate party series “Peak Mystique” and that’s where we got to meet them. It was hard not to get infected by their musical enthusiasm and after a few listening sessions and some help of Fouk’s Daniel Leseman & Hans Peeman for the final mix-down, we were all really happy with the music they produced for Heist.

Their ‘Different Planets’ EP sees the duo navigate between disco flavored house, dreamy electronics and old school Chicago influences. The remix is by none other than Belfast based DJ and founder of Body Fusion: Bobby Analog.

Homemade sound waves: this is what the first release of the new label Son d'Étroit sounds like. The label founder, Boran Ece made the premiere a matter close to his heart and shows his performance side with this track. A skillfully created chaos has arisen that presents and unites precisely chosen elements. It's food for the dancers in the underground. Rough, pure, minimal with an organic touch but still harmonious. This is neverending house music in its own way.

Hannes Bieger, berlin-based engineer of deep melodic notes honors the first release SDE001 with an "analogue origin" remix.

Adelphi Music Factory return with a mahoosive, peak time, fist pumping piano house bomb that harnesses that signature spiritual feeling that they do oh so well. Rapturous, unadulterated ecstasy bottled up and ready to be unleashed at will.

1. Ordonez - Love Like This (Original Mix)
2. Ordonez - Dance Some More (Original Mix)

What a beautiful summer it is, right? And more sunshine in our life to see close friend and artist since day one, Ordonez, back at his home base Mother Recordings.

After hit breaking records and some intermezzos on labels as Brobot or Roger Sanchez’s UNDER THE RADR, the adorable Ecuadorian will release his fifth solo EP „Love Like This feat. Hassib on JUL 17, yeah!

„Love Like This feat. Hassib“ is a summer, good feeling and hands in the air track. The funky grooving percussion pushes this track along while Ordonez weaves in the melody from a warm grand piano and adds to the magic with some seductive vocals. This track is love, joy and happiness pur.

Next is „Dance Some More“, more than seven minutes of disco music with hot guitar licks, vocal cuts and rubber kicks that are groove based and inviting. The drop after the long break is just... no words can describe it! House Music all night long, let’s dance!

Detroit Swindle follow up last year’s soulful highlight ‘The life behind things’ with some impeccable disco-funk on steroids: the Coffee in the Morning EP featuring Jitwam. The ep features 2 originals, a dub mix and a stunning extended remix by Norwegian disco don Prins Thomas.
For Coffee in the morning, Detroit Swindle team up with India-via-London-to-NYC vocalist Jitwam, whose recent album Honeycomb on Tartelet and his live collaboration with Kamaal Williams have shown the world just how talented he really is.
Coffee in the morning is more than anything a funk fueled disco bomb. The energy is set by a rolling bassline with a live touch (thanks to Xander Vrienten) and percussion courtesy of their go-to-percussion-guy: Mauskovic Dance Band member Chris Bruining. The track bursts into action once Jitwam’s vocals come in. His purple colored vocals push through with a full-on slapback delay, which adds nicely to the vintage vibe of the track.
The lyrics are fun in a tongue-in-cheek kind of way and deal with life’s more pressing matters like all the things you can have alongside your
coffee. You could argue that this track is not really about coffee, but something far more perverse, but that’s up to you decide. Back on topic: The track takes a sharp jazzy turn once the saxophone is introduced (played by UK bred, Amsterdam based jazz dude Finn Peters), which moves nicely between catchy riffs and completely berserk jazz-isms. Its the full on original that works best for us, but if you’re not really into coffee –or vocals for that matter- there’s a more straightforward dub mix as well that steers away from all the breakfast related insinuations.
The a-side also holds the second collaboration, which moves into NY garage territory. Shuffling 909 percussion, live shakers and snares set the vibe along with Jitwam’s vocals directing you to ‘Move out the way!’. The track is bumping, the bassline is thumping and the crowd could very well be … (yes, it rhymes). The energy pitches up a notch once the synth hits come in and it flows up and down nicely into a section where strings,
Rhodes and cowbells take over into the breakdown. That’s where you get a moment to catch your breath, just before the full track comes back into action again. If it weren’t for Corona, we’d see this funky house tune played at beach parties, rooftops, intimate clubs and house-head-gatherings across the world for sure.
On the B-side, its Prins Thomas who takes you on a 10 minute long Scandi-disco trip with live drums and Thomas himself funkin’ on the bass. He makes perfect use of the dreamy elements of Coffee in the morning, making his version an intimate and provocative dubby disco burner. If the energy of the original is too much, this version might just be perfect for you.
This is a special piece of music for us that we’ve worked on for a long time and we’re really happy to finally share it with you. Let’s hope we all get a chance to play the music out loud to more people than just your neighbors and your cat.
Yours Sincerely,
Lars & Maarten

Originally released back in 2006 on Defected, Copyright’s ‘He Is’ remains a beloved dancefloor anthem to this day. The record, which saw the duo return to the US Garage sound that propelled them into clubber’s consciousness at the dawn of the millennium, features a praising vocal from Song Williamson, with charged up keys and rounded groove that gave it its euphoric quality. Now, 14 years after it was first released, DFTD delivers a special 12” remix package, featuring two brand new mixes as well as a classic. Opening the A-Side mysterious Detroit collective Scan 7 supply their uplifting mix, as a pumping bassline and funk-laden instrumentals provide a joyous backdrop to Song Williamson’s rejoicing vocal. Ferrer & Sydenham’s 2006 remix of the track follows, an anthem in its own right. On the flip, Italian powerhouse duo Alaia & Gallo deliver their mix, building on the exhilarating qualities of the original with surging kicks and a punchy beat. The B-Side is closed out with two essential DJ tools; Alaia & Gallo’s thundering Dub and then Ferrer & Sydenham Inc Accapella.

Striking once again, Barcelona based, Gamine comes back with the laser cutting tunes of Jack Keo.

Following major releases on Art of Dark and Spaecial; Jack tees up a heavy-yet-balanced EP that leans on techno and is counterpoised by a clubby-house side. On the remix we have Otis delivering a masterful reinterpretation.

Expect strong and groovy 909s, mysterious vocals and memorable basslines.

Kassian are back on Heist with a follow up to their debut release ‘The Premise’ from 2018. Their new ‘8th Movement’ EP showcases their knack for a tight dance floor groove and is another great example of their well-groomed electronic funk. The EP features 3 originals and a Leo Pol remix. The Kassian boys have worked like maniacs to build their profile since their debut in 2018. Their debut title track ‘The Premise’ was nominated track of the year by Gilles Peterson, and their track ‘Bad Habit’ has been a staple in DJ sets from us and many others. Meanwhile, they’ve had releases on ‘Phonica White’, ‘Groovence’ and started their own label ‘Kassian Versions’ with some heavy edits. They also started a radio show on ‘Balamii’, instantly becoming one of the station’s favorite shows and they’ve worked on charity compilations for Covid19 and the United Nations Women’s charity, while still finding the time to deliver a seriously cool new record on Heist. Apollo is built around a bumpin’ disco bassline, hazy stabs, vocal chops and a deceptively simple but oh- so-catchy lead loop. The track also features some nifty keys and percussion by Thomas Arroyo, who produces afro-inspired house under the name Laroye and has really succeeded in giving the track an added layer of warmth and expression. This track has everything you need for a solid party anthem: A solid beat, a catchy bassline and just the right amount of chops, fills and vocals. The title track takes a deeper turn, with some lovely Motor City inspired chords, rolling drums and their soon-to-be signature surprise move of a driving acid line. A hit of a ‘dubby’ piano and a vocal chant both move in and out and of the forefront, adding some really nice layers to the heads down vibe of the track.

This time we give you an Apparel Wax bottle opener while from the cover you can get a panel to play battleship, with the hope of making these complex days a little lighter and more playful.

The eighth chapter of the Apparel Wax saga brings with it, as always, a multitude of sounds and suggestions. The masked producer always manages to renew himself, bringing something new and special to each record but always remaining faithful to his musical line. APLWAX008 will be released in January and consists of four tracks: the first is a track with a very marked dynamics and is characterized by a solid rhythm section, a bass line that recalls the UK garage, vocal samples and a beautiful harmonic evolution produced by evolving chords. The second track, A2, winks at Jazz and Soul with a production rich in rhythmic virtuosity, keyboard solos and an almost hypnotic vocal loop while the second side starts with B1, which takes us back to an imaginary dancefloor with a powerful beat and airy disco chords. The EP closes with B2 that softens the tones giving a more intimate, classy and deep end, with references to Funk and R&B. In short, an EP that touches many genres while remaining compact as a whole. Another small masterpiece of production and music selection by Apparel Wax. Out in January 2021, to warm up your winter.

Unsung and hard to find material from recondite UK producer Lemmon Grass aka Scott Featherstone. Whilst the B-side collects and re-releases 2 tracks from the 1993 'One O Them' record (originally released on the British House label Triumph Records) the A-side digs through Scott's unreleased demos from the same time period and proudly reintroduces them into the flow of 2020. All the tracks are top notch and range from deftly programmed 808 beat tools to seriously uplifting 4/4 and showcase the talents of a producer that obviously has pure house music energy running through his veins.

In this pandemic era, with social distance and social control, with rules and prohibitions, Deep88 releases an album pure and genuine, with different shades of house music, where the common denominator is being human against any form of control, from the marketing till the nepotism... "but always there will be the intoxication of the power, always at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless". Don't let it happen!

The solo project of Brian Chillemi from New York’s Junk Boys and Organs this album was recorded in Brooklyn and Queens apartments by producer Kyle Avallone and drinks heavily from the pool of Gallon Drunk/ Cave balladry, smoky acoustic guitars alternating with the sparse echo of electric soloing.

Phenomenal Handclap Band is back on Toy Tonics with remixes by Superpitcher & Ray Mang! The New York indie disco crew delivers their third song to the Berlin dancefloor label. Their last 2 Toy Tonics singles, Judge Not and Jail, have already made big waves with heavy rotations in the sets of people like DJ Harvey, Artwork, Gilles Peterson, Keinemusik and many others. Now they are back with another surefire smash: „Remain Silent“
The Phenomenal Handclap Band from New York has been known for a couple of funk-driven releases before, but also for supporting or collaborating with such giants as Bryan Ferry, Marcos Valle and Nile Rodgers & Chic .
The band, based around multi instrumentalist and producer Daniel Collás, is releasing this new single in advance of their new album on Toy Tonics in 2020. This is just a warm up!

Second Seta Label vinyl presents label friend Dj M4SH and his new EP "The Message". It takes you to the world of delayed and filtered chords, pads and arpeggiators with rolling basslines. This solid four-track package contains three deep house jams plus a spacey remix of the track "Not Known" from the well-known Slovak gang Sensoreal. "The Message" expresses Dj M4SH’s memories of rave-kids generation from the 90s and everybody who spent those years at the parties or in the park with cassette player listening to music. "The Message" is dedicated to those who remained loyal to what they love. It's a reminiscence and acknowledgement to all who were there and are here now.

MEET THE CHOIR THAT HOUSE BUILT

The late great Frankie Knuckles once called house music: “church for people that have fallen from grace.” Anyone who has been caught up in the rapture of a true house classic can testify to its power to unify and uplift.

HGC is an electrifying House meets Gospel experience that never fails to get audiences clapping, dancing and singing along. HGC shows bring together a group of outstanding singers, a full house band and DJ, creating an effortless live fusion of the biggest house and gospel tunes that never fail to raise the roof!

House Gospel Choir’s magic is their ear for production, thanks to the songwriters, producers, vocal arrangers and selectors who make up the collective. The choir have been bubbling away in studios across London, working with a roll call of iconic dance music producers, from global house icons Todd Terry, DJ Spen, Grammy Award winner Alex Metric, to Toddla T and UK gospel icon Nicky Brown. Their monthly public Mass Choir open rehearsal, at Rich Mix in East London, has featured guest appearances from house and techno icon The Black Madonna, and electro pop singer Georgia.

The current House Gospel Choir has grown to over 150 members of all religions and backgrounds. They take us to church, literally and metaphorically and remind us, whatever spiritual inclination we may have, of the sonic swells in our ribcage that truly great harmonies can inspire.

We Are One has become the choirs mantra, Founder & Creative Director Natalie Maddix explains “We can’t all speak at the same time and have our voices heard, but we can sing together as one voice and be understood”.

“The choir have a really unique energy. Beyond the uplifting vibes of Gospel Music…they’re like family” Annie Mac

“I’m so crazy about them” – THE BLACK MADONNA

Classy house tracks on this 10th release on Ojodeapolo, including stellar remixes by Altin Miller and Terrence Parker! Celebrating its tenth edition and 13 years of existence Ojodeapolo presents its founder Jorge C. with the EP titled ''Brother''. Soulful jazzy house tracks and cuts more towards a tech feel... Proper Detroit house cuts!! The mastering was done by Stefan Betke aka. Pole in the studio Scape in Berlin.

Luca Lozano spent the 2020 lockdown sharpening his tools, using the time off from traveling and DJing to re-center and re-vise. As the pace of life slowed, so did the BPMs and the Klasse Wrecks boss sought refuge in the distraction that the studio and the creative practice can offer. 'Lozano 2.0' may sound like the producer shifting down a gear, but probably only with the goal of preserving his energy until the world is ready to spin again.

Self Defence returns in full effect with New Yorks one and only DJ Duke's (of Sex Trax / Power Music Fame) "Summer Madness EP". Dj Duke had retired from the music front for a while, after he had about 300 records emerged after his "Blow Your Whistle" blew up in 1993 and during the past few years.

Yore returns with four funky and warm disco-ish house tracks that the Tokyo Connection boys Kez YM, Rodenion and No Milk drop like it's hot.

We are delighted and honoured to welcome the mighty Dwayne Jensen to the Landed Records imprint.
Known as 'The Born Entertainer', Dwayne Jensen is one of the key artists who helped to shape the Detroit House sound and the new evolution of music we now call Techno.
A self-taught DJ, musician, producer and writer, the Detroit-born native started off as a Jazz drummer & percussionist before gaining respect worldwide as one of the true Detroit superstars.
We are also delighted that Geoff Pesche from Abbey Road Studios is back on the mastering and has worked his alchemy on the release.
A1: Ignition - Original Mix: Dwayne starts this timeless EP with a powerful and switched-on Deep Detroit number, rich with filtered pads and trademark drum sounds straight out of the 909.
A solid piece of modern House, this relentless, driving classic takes no prisoners.
B1: Deep Dive Dub - Original Mix: Dwayne really shows us what underground House music is all about with this moody, stirring number. Jazzy keys and funky bassline conspire with raw and tight percussion to produce a track which is off the fathom charts. A personal favourite of Mr Jensen's, this is a sure-fire crowd-pleaser guaranteed to warm up any dance floor.
B2: My People - Disco Nights Mix: Finishing the EP off with a bang, we are over-the-moon to be re-releasing the all-time classic, 'My People'. Originally released five years ago on a 12" compilation album, which only ever
made a small run, it's high time this track was given a full release. Fun, infectious and uplifting, if this isn't the track to get a party started, I don't know what is.
This solid EP mixes a delicious slice of past and present, and is a rare record not to be missed. Play it loud!

Pasta Boys & Albert Cabrera Remixes

You know Munk probably from the songs he did with James Murphy, Peaches, Asia Argento or one of many other indie disco tracks he released on his former label Gomma. Gomma now is sleeping and since Mathias Munk Modica started the Toy Tonics label with his friends Manu Kim & Mo Butschek he hasn’t released many things under that name. Instead has been playing keyboards, bass and drums on many tracks of other artists on the TT label. And of course has been building up the TT imprint from his new home in Berlin.
Now it’s summer and it felt right to put out a few balearic remixes reworks of Munk tracks. Beach party and daytime disco vibe. So here u get reworks of Munk’s friends Severino from Horse Meat Disco, Lauer, and Kai Alce from Detroit. Right for this summer.

First up, Groove Key is a big vocal tune that builds suspense on chunky drums. When the impassioned vocal breaks out, and the bass line joins the party, the club is sure to blow up.

Go Back is a slow burner that will have the floor in raptures. Disco house loops, funky bass riffs and lush claps all build and build to a frantic peak. After the cosmic breakdown the tune drops and makes a huge impact. These are three tasteful house bombs once more from Mother Recordings and the dope NiCe7 boys.

Almighty Berlin’s No. 1 House label Mother Recordings welcome hottest Italian export Brokenears to their latest team. With a phenomenal and breakthrough year in 2019 they kick off 2020 with their debut EP Friday Night at Nhan Solo ́s imprint Mother Recordings. Their musical output can also be find on labels such a Downtown Underground, DVINE Sounds or Too Many Rules.

„Friday Night“ is one for the ladies! A 6 minutes jam with a driven bass line and funky guitar licks rolling over a slick House groove. The powerful and gnarly repetitive female vocals add full and warm emotions to this dance floor burner.

Next is „Feel The Power, a party starting tune with big catchy vocals to sing along and an organic and warm bass line roller. Def a real peak time hands up track to make the crowd stomping and pumping. We say Feel The Power, Feel It!

MR103
MOTHER RECORDINGS warmly welcome new charming and talendet producer QUBIKO from Bari, Italy top their latest family. With a hot of releases on the likes of DFTD, Defected and Glasgow Underground he makes his debut on Berlin s finest House label Mother Recordings with a floor stomping two tracker EP.

Disco Musique is a massive House jam. Rolling and driving bass line, full of cheeky and cathcy vocal bits are layered over the top to get the place pumping and stomping.

Next up is Chicago a slamming House groover full of swing. Both tracks are proper House music right here. Enjoy and dance!





MR104
MOTHER RECORDINGS kicks off 2020 and make big moves with youngsters YINGYANG (UK) and REN PHILLIPS. Both linking up for some serious dance floor destruction on their new two track single. The pair have collaborated to great effect recently on the likes of Jacky & Friends and Solardo s Sola imprint.


Harlem Shake is lively house with sleazy bass, big synths and a bristling sense of party and atmosphere that really pumps any club. It has slick production values and a mad lead that is full of fun.


Flashback is a track that gets you ducking and diving with its turbo bass and great female vocals. The whole thing is a really characterful and explosive cut. This is a standout EP from this duo.

Listen to this if you want to hear last year's best tracks on Heist by Detroit Swindle, Alma Negra, Fouk, Nachtbraker, Nebraska and Parker Madicine in 1 big remix package. Release info: Round up part IV marks the end of year 4 of Heist Recordings and it might be our most varied release yet with some serious Afro funk from Switzerland, electronic soul from Italy, proper old school deep house from the UK and some Dutch guys adding a bit of swing to the package. For those unfamiliar with our annual concept release: The Round Up is a release where each artist that has released this year gets remixed by another Heist artist from that same year. We put all the names in a big hat, and draw straws. The result: 6 different remixes from 6 of the most intriguing original tracks of the year, in a deluxe 180 gram 2x12 pack. Fouk had the honor to rework one of the most euphoric tracks ever to come out on Heist and certainly one of Nachtbraker's most party-oriented tracks ever: Hamdi. They flipped the original into a rhodesy afro-tinged jam filled with lovely bleeps and fx and some great work on the keys. The DS remix of Parker Madicine's Heartbreaker is just as dreamy as it is driving, making full use of their synth-cave with an ever-evolving Moog bassline and some great pads on the Arp Odyssey. Alma Negra's Blacksoul remix of Nebraska's Big Plate Chicken takes the full B side and rightly so. The African drums, chants and looped sampling the original's bleeps give a great groove, but the track really comes alive when the bassline kicks in. The second 12 gives room for Nachtbraker's Swing mix of Can't Hold it, where he lets loose a trippy, sample heavy track with a dustier ambience than your grandmother's living room. Turn it over and you'll find Parker Madicine jazzing up Afrorleans and Nebraska throwing in a classic deep house touch on his remix for Fouk.

Deep down in the Sheffield underground lies the lair of DJ Steve, a subterranean studio fizzing with electricity. The 'Mainline' EP collects together otherwise forgotten demos from an unknown producer who reveals a deft talent for authentically made rave music. Clattering breakbeats and diva vocals sliced up within an inch of their lives sit next to sophisticated bleep 'n' bass and glassy-eyed pads. The inspiration of the Yorkshire dance music legacy and warehouse culture are obvious and leave the listener with only one question....when can I hear more?

ome killer cuts on this new special edition Klasse Wrecks release!! Long time friends Klasse Wrecks and Pelvis come together and release a joint venture. The Wrecks boys and Australian multi-disciplinary fashion/music/design-house had been orbiting each other for years with similar styles and taste (see Luca Lozano's 'King Blade EP' as proof). It only took the well timed and serendipitous sending of demos from mutual friend Roza Terenzi to seal the deal and concept of the split release and thus KWXPR001 was born. The 4 tracker is typical of both labels direction and even more so the signature style of Terenzi's bleepy and sharp-as-a-knife productions. The two original tracks 'Metal Glo' and 'Allstarz' are representative of Roza's mutant production style, taking in electro, breaks and futuristic atmospheres and show off the flair and confidence of the rising star from Perth.

The first trees trembled with constant little oscillations, junctions -disjunctions. A red light started blinking, half-buried in the snow. Deep in the Siberian forest, in the middle of the night, a girl with a Morse key, was running a shortwave transmitter off a diesel generator, sending messages toward the ionosphere.

Her hands moved closer together, without touching. The pulsations became almost innumerable, incredibly elongated, hollowed out in the middle, like little pinnacles, but she knew that someone, thousands of miles away, would decipher her message. In a dimly lit hotel room, in a subterranean vault, he would build the bridges, channel the frequencies. Forming, unforming, and re-forming the lines, the waves, and the words."

Doug Smith and Richard Payton, aka 95 North, are a house music production duo from Washington DC very well known from all the 90's house music lovers.
Their 90's discography is full of hits, including collaborations with Crystal Waters and Sabrynaah Pope, and many releases with labels like Strictly Rhythm, King Street, Slip 'n' Slide and Kult Records.
Let Yourself Go' was originally released in 1995, probably one of the best times of their activity in the house music scene.

Here comes the second Toy Tonics EP by Joel Holmes & Cody Currie.
The new Berlin based duo that works on a fresh musical style that combines Jazz, broken beats, Soul and NY House.
Joel, the American jazz pianist, is a former member of Roy Hargrove’s Grammy winning Jazz-Hop band and member of Carl Craig’s synthesizer ensemble. Joel is living in Berlin now, where he is involved in the new vibrant Neo-Jazz scene. (Yes! Berlin used to be a Techno city, but it’s becoming a Jazz town now!)
In Berlin Joel throws monthly jam sessions (the Urban Base Jam) where the creme de la creme of Berlins ex-pad jazz musicians meets up. Crazy things can happen here. Like when Erykah Badu played Berlin in 2019 and her complete band came to jam at Joel’s session after their gig.
Joel teamed up with Cody Currie: 24 year old London born talent, who already made waves in the house scene. Cody is known as a stylized producer, with a unique recognisable sound. Much of his craft was homed in studying a bachelors in music in London. His most known work by now might be a jazzy reinvention of ‘Devils Shoestring’ with over half a million plays on SC and YT. With his new works Cody is coming away from sampling, working only with live instrumentation.
Joel & Cody both live in Berlin now where they met Toy Tonics head honcho Mathias „Kapote“ Modica. And when they met there was a vibe instantly. All three have their roots in jazz music and share similar ideas about how dance-music should evolve in 2020

The world may have come to a halt these days. However, Todh Teri & his international bunch of merry pranksters never stop digging the rich Indian cinema music back catalogue. With Deep In India Volume 7, they have emerged & presented their best work for a globally keen audience.
The first on this record - Sampadan 22 - is an italo cut, reminiscing the glittery disco divas of the 80s & beyond. The disco fever continues with Sampadan 23 where brand new disco prankster La Jawab reworks the quintessential Indian cinema classic track - with an ever cascading French touch.
Todh Teri slows down the platter with Sampadan 24, and turns up the acid on a deeper interpolation of a 90s Bollywood chartbuster. And finally with Sampadan 25, Deep in India repeat offender Kone Kone flips nostalgic Indian dreams into head nodding boom bap beats.
Brand new music for a brand new world - waiting to fill your bodies, minds & soul - with that funky goodness that you need.

MOTHER RECORDINGS is one of the most reliable big hitting labels in the game and now they’re back with a new bomb EP from SHAF HUSE - „Biday“.

With heavy support from the likes of The Martinez Brothers, Seth Troxler and Marco Carola, Milan based producer/DJ Shaf Huse has really made his mark on the likes of Avotre, Roush, Sola and more. Here working with „Biday“ he cooks up another storm.

The title track has shooting laser synths and airy house loops sucking you in, while a snaking bass line roams about down low. It’s brisk, full of energy and designed to sweep up the floor and take it to the next level. Add in yelling vocals, edgy drum fills and explosive chords and the whole thing is supersized and sure to explode in the clubs.
Reign Of Tech is another bomb destined to get feet moving on the floor, with a chugging baseline and slick vocals.

More dancefloor diynamite flying out the MOTHER nest!!

Our Kiwi brother DILBY was on fire in 2018. He delivered 2 EP's on MOTHER RECORDINGS and managed to secure back to back Top 10 hits with each release. Well, if this new EP is any indication, 2019 is going to be even bigger!

Up first is „Rio Grande“. A club destroying dance floor heater that features DILBY ́s signature drum filled tribalism on top of a punchy, grooving sub bass. Of course it wouldn't be a DILBY jam without a catchy sing-along vocal which brings even more ethnic flavour to this hedonistic afro workout!

On the flip we are treated to an energetic house bomb titled „Keep On Dancing“. This is a powerful club record which gives off a distinct late 90's vibe with it's filtered disco groove and tough analog drum programming. A deep, warm bass line rolls heavily across the low frequency as loopy vocal hooks and crunchy vocal shots keep the dance floor locked in as the energy erupts in the break.

Simon Hinter – another gem? We think so! This german music freak has been doing music for many years with some splendid releases on smaller labels like Phil Holland plus being picked for on Osunlade mix CD, but it just recently got bigger with his release on the ever hot Freerange label. Why we like his sound? It’s raw and it got funk! Filtered loops, chunky basslines, catchy melodies? For sure! All 3 orignal tracks are pure Simon Hinter stylee and to give you the extra bonus, Wolf and Quintessentials buddy KRL gets back in action with a fab remix. Yes, we all wanna make love!

Belgian imprint Muzik & Friendz returns with the last release of 2019 featuring a 4 track various artist package with Joss Moog, Yusuke Yamamoto, Peletronic & Jakobin and Platzdasch & Dix.

With the forcus set on the deeper vibes this release kicks off with the A-side package of PlatzDasch & Dix’s ‘Pointillist’ a mellow workout sprinkled with melodies and deep vibes, followed by Peletronic & Jakobin ‘Etta Jamz’ a deep and soulful cut with a real dancefloor groove.
The B-side see’s Yusuke Yamamoto’s ‘Kick Ass’ combine an hypnotic pad, bumpy bass and punchy vocals with a wink to the old school, while Joss Moog ‘Oazar’ shows off his exquisite production skills with a grooving and bumping cut.

Luca Lozano spent the 2020 lockdown sharpening his tools, using the time off from traveling and DJing to re-center and re-vise. As the pace of life slowed, so did the BPMs and the Klasse Wrecks boss sought refuge in the distraction that the studio and the creative practice can offer. 'Lozano 2.0' may sound like the producer shifting down a gear, but probably only with the goal of preserving his energy until the world is ready to spin again.

Raumakustik should be a notion - at the latest after their successful
single "Glaub Mir Doch" this year. The duo from Dresden, Germany
was always on the go in 2011 with several releases and remixes for
Labels like Deich Records, Klang Gymnastik or Keimzelle. And right
before 2012 they strike back with "Traumtanzen". This is pure
dancefloor pleasure and already approved within the last months. To
complete the label debut of Grain Audio Mister Marcapasos (Toka
Beatz, Housesession, Dusted Decks) delivers a real house remix to get
you back to the good old days.

Following our first BK Club Beats remix EP is a Gerd Janson solo affair, an assortment of tracks that
reinterpret and reimagine the fundamental component of Jacques Renault’s last album.

It’s called Gerd Janson’s Jacque’d Toolbox for a reason. We’ll let you use your imagination and figure out what it is. Little bit of something for everyone here, though—disco, house, dirty beats.

Empty Editions presents the debut 12” from mysterious electronic outfit Taibach. Conceptualized by ABCs, Taibach has emerged from the shadows as a blunted East-Asian historical consciousness failing to return home after becoming a stranger to itself. With a nom de guerre which references both the infamous Slovenian proto-industrial group Laibach and their mythologized homeland of Taiwan, Taibach restages the classic thematics and aesthetic strategies of industrial music for a contemporary moment in which shifting balances of power between east and west herald new hegemonies and exhume old grievances. Their martial approach to electronics follows in a brood of decidedly cryptic underground music: drawing on the sound of classic industrial bands, early 90s techno, and more recent developments at the intersection of noise and rhythmic music. Conditions of escalating ethno-nationalism, imperialist ambition and decay, and historical revisionism within the Sinosphere provide the backdrop for the band’s grimly expansive theatrics, which hint at the possibility of ideological resistance through tactical sign play and subversive affirmation. Acting as a necessary corrective to a commercially bloated and self-satisfied Asian cultural sphere, Taibach embraces futile Taiwan-based nationalism by celebrating the seldom-criticized reactionary tendencies of the region as a document of its history and its current political impasses.

Taibach’s debut LP contains a rawness and intensity that excels in club contexts, spilling over into more varied strands of experimental and underground music. While the music itself is primed for big room sound systems, the omnivorous use of guitar, effects pedals, and sampling techniques alongside stalwart drum programming also allow for more intimate listening—soundtracking both club depravity and solitary walks in equal measure. The kosmische proto-electro bite of Side A opener “Spicy Test” furnishes a terse blueprint for Taibach’s aural vocabulary: skeletal drums brought deliberately into the red provide a burnt, metallic underpinning to the record’s five tracks. Across the LP, rhythm is complemented by asymmetric washes of tape hiss, feedback, and filtered voices which ride alongside the drum patterns. Tracks “You Are Shit!” and “Enemy Inside” carve out wide expanses for filtered chords and sequenced synths to reflect against uncoiling rhythms. Astute listeners will discern a long engagement with UK, European, and US dance music from the 1990s up to the present in their inspired ability to set the drum machine against a distinctly East Asian industrial backdrop—channeling the sound of a dystopic future of armed conflicts and ground invasions where the hastily built edifices of Confucian capitalism resurface as detention centers and fallout shelters. The LP culminates in “Rocket (Live),” an opus of live sound system music that carries with it the hot heat of a subterranean, neon-lit industrial catacomb filled with vampiric club-goers. As guitar noise billows out over a militant rhythm that recalls everything from darkwave to Container (or Alan Vega & Martin Rev’s early Suicide records) the track builds into an assailing polyrhythm that showcases a dancefloor severity at the height of their transportive powers.

Inside the sleeve is a photocopied insert of a watercolor painting depicting an anonymous man hanging from a streetlamp. A sign with the Chinese characters 漢奸 (“traitor”) hangs around his neck. Taipei 101 Tower looms in the distance, once the tallest building in the world—a conspicuous symbol of Taiwan’s American-style capitalist power—now shrouded in the fog of war. Absorbing the anxiety of these times, Taibach’s debut provides an anxious soundtrack looking for the old military bunkers underneath spreading skyscrapers and machines chorusing the rising tides of global unrest.

Ready for next drive?
For this second release Badam Music open the doors to long time house music lovers Broz Inc. Parisian duo brings all his creativity
and maturity with an original track called Body Fresh. Dancefloor weapon that will instantly sounds like a classic to your hears! On B
side US legend Johnny Fiasco is on remix duty and show all his talent and delivers a more acid oriented version definitely inspired
by Chicago sound. A great dancefloor record, essential must have!

Full Pupp is 15 years old and we're marking the occasion by inviting old and new friends to contribute a track each.

Rotterdam based 25 Places are back on Dirt Crew with a bang! since their "Love More" release in 2015 the boys have been hard at work and have just released an EP for Chez Damier on his "Prescription Records" sub label "Balance". The bounce begins with "Party In The Hills" hosting a huge kick, loopy Rhodes, squelching bass, Ragga flavoured vocal and squeaky lead, it's straight up good times right from the get go. An infectious groove on this one! "Closing Title Song" heads into deep soaring territory, it's forward house beat and pulsing synth lead intertwine with loose tropical percussion and a rhapsodic horn hook. On the flip we have Laurence Guy who does not really need an introduction anymore, the man has been all over the place since this years releases on "Cin Cin", "Outplay" and the imminent "Church" where he dropped two big EP's "Bamboo" and "Kojak". Here he takes on the soulful deep Chicago House of 25 Places and turns it into a 90's breakbeat acid galore of ecstasy tingled UK House. 25 Places wrap up the rave session with "Backyard Stories", a raw and bouncing, bass face inducing jam. Uplifting and dirty in one stroke, its thumping kick and feverous melodies make it impossible not to move.

A journey into melodies and harmonies
We have landed back in South Africa again to join forces with the rising star Bevan Godden once again for a project that has soulful written all over it.

“His music defies predictable electronic pigeonholing” – VICE French-Canadian producer and live act Christophe Dubé, aka CRi, is a dance music star in the making. Following in the footsteps of fellow Montréalers Jacques Greene and Kaytranada, CRi has risen through the city’s bubbling scene in recent years and now reveals his debut album ‘Juvenile’. A self-taught college dropout, CRi caught the attention of tastemaker press with early single ‘Rush’ and his 'Someone Else' EP. 'Rush', accompanied by an award-nominated music video, and 'Someone Else' picked up a nomination for Electronic Release of The Year at the 2018 Juno Awards (Canada’s equivalent to The Grammy’s). “I’m just a pizza delivery guy that said fuck it…” CRi’s sound blurs light, dream-like melodies with textured production - capturing the energy of the dancefloor, and the nostalgia of the morning after. Christophe draws inspiration from his musical heroes Moby, St Germain and Daniel Bélanger (who appears on the album), along with more contemporary influences ranging from Caribou and Dark Sky to Jacques Greene and Actress.

Red Vinyl

Almost 10 years already….Just a short moment away from its tenth anniversary, the cutting-edge Label La Belle Records unveils the second part of its One Night Stands collection.

If the first part portrayed very warm, tropical tones, this second opus feels more like the end of a party or the morning after, with a selection of tracks at a crossroad between slo-mo, synth-pop, lo-fi, ethnic groove and nu-disco like few others have done before.

This is something you've never heard before! All thanks to the insatiable digging from the master curator and co-founder of the label, Antoine Harispuru aka Golden Bug.

From Rome to Bruxelles via Paris and Vilnius, this second edition hits hard with names like Get A Room!, Rodion, Ellis Island (a world collaboration between the Italians Bawrut and Hot Spell), Rodion, Front de Cadeaux, Claap! and some other electronic gems.

Liam Doc AKA Liam Docherty is next up on Denis Sulta’s Sulta Selects Silver Service label.

Liam grew up in London before moving back to the family hometown of Glasgow at 14. Growing up, his schooling in house and techno was on the floor of the Sub Club’s legendary Saturday night session with residents Harri & Domenic.

After he started producing house and techno, his edit “Voices of East Harlem” caught Sulta’s attention, who championed it in his sets to awesome effect. Liam is the resident at Wednesday house and techno night RARE at Sub Club. He also started his own quarterly warehouse parties in Glasgow, called Cyberfreq. After hours illegal raves at first, after a run in with a Scottish tabloid they went legit and started programming them at Glasgow’s The Berkeley Suite club. In addition to releasing on SSSS, he’s founded his own label Eyeangle Records (releases from Kamus and Lobec) as well as sub-label Roux Records and released on Huntley & Palmers.

‘East Coast Edits’ (coming on 12” and digital) is a collection of ecstatic dance floor filtered edits, sure to give the floor at the Sub Club and beyond a workout.

The second release is coming with 4 new-talented players: Embezzlement Society, Daisuke Kondo, LB aka Labat and The Game crew. Following their various artist model, each producer delivers an organic crate based track, from blunted hip-hop to jackin' house bangers with jazzy soulful grooves.

Welcome to 2018 !!!

We at MOTHER are super excited to welcome back DILBY, our homie from New Zealand who is now based in Berlin, for a banging new EP.

THE PATH is a chunky, driving slab of house that has been tearing up dance floors since it hit our inbox. The beat is constructed of big analog drums fused with ethnic percussion and tribal vocal chops then underpinned by a heavy sub bass. But, the real star of the show here is that flute hook, so catch every time!

Rounding out the EP is KICKIN IT, a funky grooving house weapon that is sure to bring smiles to the face of everyone on the floor! Dilby takes a modern house aesthetic and fuses it with a catchy throwback piano riff and ultra memorable vocal hook to deliver true hands in the air bomb.

Italian duo, Giacomo Godi and Emiliano Nencioni, better known as SUPERNOVA, debut their first MOTHER RECORDINGS release with their latest two-tracker EP, 'The Joy'.

Kicking off with their headline track, 'The Joy' pits together a hard-hitting house beat and walking bassline against a set of dark warbling synth sprays. Here, the duo truly show off their impressive work with the synthesizer, juxtaposing soulful acapella gospel licks with a bundle of morphing synth lines that effortlessly rumble and groan throughout.

Fat kicks, trashy hi's and spacey synths open up 'Reflections', lighting up the dancefloor from the very start. Here, Supernova step it up a notch, flipping their dark range of warbling synth lines into a set of warm and dreamy funk pads that endlessly purr underneath a sturdy bassline. A range of elusive vocal howls and cheeky funk melody licks polish the track off around the edges, intensifying in all the right places to create some satisfying releases.

Footjob strikes back after a short release break with concentrated power. Tilman and Phonk D join forces on the „Couple Therapy“ EP with four crisp house tracks, from peaktime bangers to dreamy after-hour tracks.

Cropper has returned to Blah Blah Blah Records to follow up his world wide smash 'Forever'. Since marking BBB's tenth release in 2013 'Forever' has been snapped up by Universal, racked up half a million plays worldwide and played on Radio 1 by Pete Tong. To some such success may seem common place, or not that remarkable, however for artist and label these were very proud moments, not to mention moral boosting confirmations in their personal belief in the music they were presenting. A belief that has brought them back together for one more record. 'Sunlight FT. A.Z' is a hauntingly beautiful record with live double bass, searching strings, Jazz like keys and a whispy yet penetrating vocal all conspiring to dazzle the senses with its thought provoking beauty. Not your typical club record, but we're hoping that shouldn't matter. Following Sunlight is 'Shade' and like the title suggests there is a commonality as much as there is a stark difference between the two. An African spoken word sample sets the tone, as crisp weighty drums groove another 3am curveball straight into your record box. To be heard, not pontificated about with flowery words. Rounding out the package is a remix from the rather enigmatic and elusive Hackman. Hackman takes things down a slightly more linear route as he chops and reorganises the main elements to compliment his own engaging melodic interpretation of the source material.

a selection of 4 great house tracks on 1 record !!

Volker.live ’s debut and final release
“My Love Will Set You Free” Final release? We see the question mark popping up over your head. Well yes, these four tracks are a time capsule, a historic cache which takes you back to one hot summer of 2019. When this care-free boy band formed and made it their goal to climb up the world’s stages to play an all-hardware live set & have f.u.n. while doing so. This endeavor went swimmingly. Festival gigs were pocketed and crowds intrigued. The stand-out track of their gigs was always “My Love Will Set You Free”, an acid-house stomper with uplifting, yet melancholic vocals from their friend ÆN.
Friends and neighbors were quick to re-interpret the song and the idea of a record took shape.
Lehult’s Lucky Charmz propels the listener into the void by upping the acidity. Closing in on a playtime of 10 minutes, we’re readily giving up our sense for time and space. Whirring drum hits meet feedbacking tape delay while riding the rock solid bass line.
Erobique liked the song so much, he quickly drew up two versions of his own. His “Disko Mix” oozes that saccharine, danceable magic mélange of days past. Warm keys, hand claps, and Aen’s intimate voice are stirred into an exquisite cocktail. You know that Carsten Meyer would never forget the umbrella on top. He’ll keep the cherry though.
The “Black Velvet Mix” closes the curtains for a slow dance. This is personal, it’s just between you and the song. Sub rosa.
In the meantime, Volker.live decided to follow separate paths of their adventure, but everyone agreed to release these songs into the world. May they serve as a reminder of what can be created out of care-free energy that’s driven by a deep connection to music. Please check out their other musical undertakings as Echoel and Goodmemory.live .

The dynamic duo of ROTCIV and Das Komplex are back on Luv Shack Records to finish off what they started with the "Magic Silk #1 EP" in 2019.

Das Komplex' "Jak Mo?na Nie Mówi? O Pesymi?mie" (wich translates to "how can you not speak about pessimism") is boasting with psychedelic effects, polish spoken words and a plethora of funky disco tropes, all cumlinating in a 10 minute super disco jam.

Hot on the heels comes ROTCIV´s remix of Das Komplex' "Silk" from the first Magic Silk EP. The "Transmix" comes with a driving 4tothefloor groove and an italo-esqe synth bassline at the heart of the mix, while still maintaining the pittoresqe atmosphere of the original with layers of heavily mangled effects.

On "Space Explore", ROTCIV constructs a complex slow burner, setting up an eerie atmosphere of digital soundbytes, vocal snippets, ghostly strings and fat synth pads on top of a cosmic disco groove.

Lastly, Das Komplex remixes "Your Highness", adding a classic disco groove with lots of analog

The Jaxx are back. Released for the first time on vinyl, Basement Jaxx 'The Singles' spans everything from the proto punk garage of early hit 'Flylife' to the Motown monster that is 'Good Luck', taking in worldwide smashes like 'Red Alert', 'Where's Your Head At', 'Rendez Vu' and 'Romeo'.

Where most greatest hits albums fall down at least once there can be no argument that this collection delivers the bangers and nothing but.

Basement Jaxx 'The Singles' is both a timely reminder of just how much the Jaxx have turned dance music inside out and the nonchalant ease with which they continue to drop new ever more exciting sub-cultural car crashes on airwaves and dancefloors around the world.

Glad to have Oliver Schories back on 8bit after his label debut 'Maia' from early summer 2018. With a #2 deep house chart success on beatport this was clearly a brilliant start and we are definitely on repeat with these 2 gems.

The series 2 of NewYork House Edits. Monchan edited 90's NY Garage House from the legendary record label & Shop "Vinylmania".
“Vinylmania" Owner Charlie Grappone opened the Vinylmania’s doors in 1978. He opened the store with a sparse selection of Rock records
but after crowds from the Paradise Garage started showing up he realized his market was with the house heads. Vinylmania quickly became the goto spot for house in NYC eventually spawning a record label under the same name and it’s legacy began. Sadly Vinylmania closed its doors in 2007 after almost 3 decades of business.

Moxie's On Loop imprint presents the debut EP from Avon Blume, 'Slowly Diving'. A mature three tracker sure to please club goers on the dance floor, and home listeners alike. All three tracks boast undeniable groove & musicality, with solid production to match.

Joakim Cosmo is back with another record crammed with wonky and weird numbers. It's obvious right from the start that Joakim Cosmo has a passion for machines and it seems he's having a jolly good time churning out his own version of Chicago music from them. Fissens lockvral is the kind of track that makes me want to grow a big ol' moustache and join a motorcycle gang of leather freaks. Tough drums are being propelled forward by an even tougher bassline while FX sounds and bleeps are being ignited and thrown into a whirlpool of echoes. Gagarin is pretty close to the Norwegian disco we have danced to so many times but with distinct Chi-town influences. That cool Spanish voice sample that reveals itself in the break makes me think of Ramirez. Brugte Boner is going to set some dancefloors on fire! Perfectly shuffled drum machines with a ba-dom-dom voice bobbing along with them. I think this is what Fettburger refers to as basketball house is Cosmo is keeping it well rejuvenated. Vocoder nonsense is my best kind of nonsense and that is what Sabdoo Chimaa is all about AND then on top of that Joakim is jazzing it out on the keys. WHAT?! Before you've had time to contemplate that Mr Cosmo has already sent you on the next trip. This time to froggy space. How do you like that, huh? Sci-fi synths glide past like shooting stars while you are floating happily in the Milky Way bumping into echoed messages from the final frontier. CAN. NOT. WAIT. TO PLAY. THIS. OUT! / Yours truly, Sahpo Ripasso

The Danse Club label is fast becoming an essential deep house outlet thanks to a solid stream of originals and remixes from artists old and new alike including Cherie Lee, The Burrell Brothers and label bosses Brodanse.

Here, said bosses team up with vocalist Cari Golden and resurgent beatsmiths Groove Armada for a huge new track that has already been road tested in Ibiza and has drawn all the right reactions.
Groove Armada of course are right at the sharp end of the house world once again having sunken themselves back in the underground with many gigs in Ibiza this summer as well as releases on labels like Hypercolour. LA's singersongwriter and vocalist Cari Golden, meanwhile, has long been lending her voice to house cuts from the likes of DJ T and Fur Coat, and here lays down another anthemic line that helps this track stand head and shoulders above the competition.

'Sweat' (Club) is a big bouncy house track with neon synth stabs, raw and thumping kick drums and icy hi hats that all coalesce into a barnstorming peaktime track designed for maximum destruction.
It's simple but effective, economic but efficient in terms of design and keeps your attention locked for seven minutes of inescapable house tension. The deep version is less rigid and regimented, there is more swing in the drums and percussion and a golden glow of warmth radiates from within. The vocal here is also smoother and creamier, making its way into your heart as the waify chords add more layers of sonic richness.
This is one for sundown rather than handsup moments and perfectly encapsulates the forward facing house vibe the Danse Club label embodies.

Pittsburgh Track Authority is back. After a five year hiatus from releasing music--during which time PTA maintained focus on expanding the catalog of their labels Pittsburgh Tracks, Love What You Feel, Machine Age Records, and Sleeve -- Preslav and Adam are back with a rejuvenated outlook on music and a renewed sense of purpose. The new album titled PA System is a collection of house and techno written to serve as a document of the past 18 months. As always with PTA, friends near and far, old and new, were a part of the writing process and the album includes collaborations with C. Scott, Santiago Salazar, Stuart Bogie, Nic Offer, Samurai Velvet, John Hall, and Kenny Peagler.

Living between Berlin and Detroit, Alan is a mastermind in electronic music and has pitched this track to a strong minimal "Detroit meets Berlin" Version.

The Gunman remix is a more dramatic sub bass story. With snipped parts of the Sigrid Elliot vocals, a volumized organ and FX sounds, Gunman gives you a blast for the dancefloor peak time.

The next MOTHER RECORDINGS sees label head NHAN SOLO and long time MOTHER artist DILBY team up with the biggest vocalist in house music right now, JEM COOKE, to deliver their smash record HIDE U!
These boys have worked together on several projects in the in the past, but we thought it was time they get back in the studio to bring some more heat for the dance floor.

JEM COOKE has been on fire recently, collaborating on huge tracks with CamelPhat, Hot Since 82 and Cristoph so we knew she would make the perfect addition to the project.
The three artists have built a timeless club weapon with tough drums, driving synth work and an exhilarating vocal performance that is sure to turn heads. They set out to deliver a main room anthem for the summer and, by all accounts we have to say, the results are a phenomenal success!
This record is full of tension and release which sends chills of emotion down your spine when it drops... hands up, reach for the lazers!

The club slaying MOTHER RECORDINGS has another mighty new EP up its sleeve here with two big tunes from Spanish titan Piem.

PIEM is a driving force behind the Barcelona scene, curates the MOODs party at W Hotel in London, and releases slick house on Relief, Crosstown Rebels, Superfett Records and plenty of others.

He kicks off here with MESSING Ft. RION S, a playful house tune laden with great vocals from RION S. The grooves swing low and the chords and strings add soul and colour. It's the sort of tune that cannot fail to tempt people to the floor.

LA MADRUGADA is then a churning tech cut with tribal vocal chants and chunky drums all getting you into the beat and keeping you there. This is another winning effort from all involved.




MR102
Our good friend DILBY ́s last solo EP on MOTHER RECORDINGS was huge on all fronts. Dominating charts and streaming as well as being served up by everyone one from Claptone to Boysnoize at the biggest clubs and festivals around the globe. It goes without saying that we are excited for more of the same with his latest dancefloor delivery.

HOLD OUT opens up the EP all guns blazing with a chunky drum groove, a big piano riff and a powerful female vocal. This energetic house anthem is guaranteed to lift the roof off any club!

TEMPERATURE RISING is another house bomb with warm analogue synths and a hooky vocal that builds and builds until the track reaches boiling point. The tough beat and punchy bass is balanced perfectly with the lush warmth to create a truely timeless record.

MOTHER RECORDINGS has built a amazing relationship and great connection to
Latin America. The latest signing from the region is fresh Ecuadorian talent
ORDONEZ, resident of the world famous Lost Beach Club. THE SPELL EP
is definitely one of the biggest releases of 2015 so far, which says a lot as it has been
an amazing year so far!
THE SPELL
Smooth grooving percussion pushes this track along while ORDONEZ weaves in the
melody from a gritty Rhodes organ and adds to the magic with spiracles of electric
piano. But then, the seductive vocals come to the front and the whole track opens up
to become one of the catchiest tunes of the year. The drop after the long break is
just... no words can describe it! House Music all night long, yeeeah!
HOW YOU DOING
Next up is a funky sample-lead house burner. Nice earthy drums and a catchy guitar
riff offer a warm vibe for smiles and laughter on the dance floor. ORDONEZ clearly
has a very creative mind and this is demonstrated here with his intricate and creative
use of sampling and arrangement. Another very strong offering from the newest
member of the Mother Recordings family.

SUPERLOVER - the man who brought us Steam' - one of last year's biggest
tracks on MOTHER RECORDINGS - is back in full force this summer with a
new two-track EP. The Berlin born and based producer has brought us
another solid release that is perfect for the outdoor festival season. The
tracks LOVE FLUTE' and LOVE MACHINE' bring together melodic deep
house and disco for sunny, funky grooves and peaktime pleasure.

LOVE FLUTE' radiates with warm summertime joy to get the floor grooving.
A hypnotic, melodious hook keeps the wave of love rolling. Its positive,
anthem-like character gives it big hit potential.
LOVE MACHINE' has a super catchy guitar riff and funky house beat. The
tension mounts as vocals chime in for an ecstatic embrace of love and
happiness, driving the pumping energy that is infectious from the start.

Club of Jacks come correct with the third and final installment of their RAW EP series - serving up another vinyl 4 tracker of essential House & Garage grooves primed for the dancefloor.

Track 1 'Memories' opens the EP with creamy Rhodes pads leading into a pulsing deep house groove flecked with soulful vocal lines, jazzy piano arps and filtered sax riffs.

The second track 'All I Think About' is a soulful groove built around an emotive vocal hook and chugging analog pads for that end of the night vibe.

On the flip side, 'Pressure Sound' switches style to a bassline roller with vintage reggae vocals, swinging garage drums and dub fx combining into a bouncy party starter.

Finishing off the EP is 'Bug-a-Do', a tough and bumpy hybrid acid-garage-house banger. Filtered synth pads merge with a 303 and M1 piano line - a hands in the air new school / old school workout.

All tracks are produced and mixed by Club of Jacks and made to be played loud wherever you like to jack your body!

Congratulations to NHAN SOLO and MOTHER RECORDINGS on reaching their 100th release.

Time flies when you're having fun! Now is the time to look back at the success of the last years, which have included a couple of overall number one records. The label has enjoyed signing and growing together hand in hand with some of the biggest names in the scene like Mat.Joe, Superlover, De La Swing, Illyus & Barrientos. A label from friends for friends! The tracks have been remixed and edited by Claptone, Purple Disco Machine and Audiojack to name some hightlights.

And here we are now, MOTHER 100 delivers two special and huge remix packages. Part 1 includes DANNY HOWARD and PHIL WEEKS on remix duty, enjoy! First comes DANNY HOWARD, BBCR 1 host, tastemaker and English gentleman. He serves a peaktime banger with punchy drums, crisp percussions and melancholic chords. Perfect setting and arrangement of the signature voice of ROBERT OWENS, pure goosebumps!

Next is our favourite Parisian dude PHIL WEEKS, who does what he does best! Loopy, groovy and funky MPC tracks to make your rump shake! This interpretation of „Funky People“ is more on the dubby side with strip down vocals, repetitive funky bass line, full of effect and swing, yeah. We Love it!


This amazing 8min interpretation of real House Music of ROBOSONIC & FERRECK DAWN – Let Live ft. BIG SHUG of one of the most humbled and true person in music business Mr. ROGER SANCHEZ.
Last but not leaset the Italian stallion PIERO PIRUPA, who already had succesful releases on Elrow, Kaluki, Realm and of course his own imprint Nonstop Records serves a peaktime 4 to the floor remix of alltime classic „So High“ by MAT.JOE. Go out, play it loud and proud!

In the special occasion of our 10th birthday we felt that we had to create something really memorable, bringing together in two vinyl some of the most influential artists who took part in the making of our history and some new ones, yet prominent and successful. All of them had a fascinating mission to accomplish honouring the concept of ‘Jazzy’ which is the notion and approach set ten years ago as the fundament of Apparel Music and we can plainly say that they’ve won the challenge, brightly. They produced eight stunning tracks which represent an ideal declination of the requirements you need to enter the AM family. The roster of artists behind this record perfectly represents the international soul of the label and very much speaks for itself, from our head honcho Kisk to ‘The Voice’ Robert Owens, our longtime family members Ivano Tetelepta & Euge`ne Latumeten, the Swedish Salary Boy, the great Tuccillo with his recognisable style, the American Fred P who’s music is the best introduction of his abilities and needs no further presentation, to the youngster Chevals with his bright talent. The final side then is the debut’s side with the iconic Art Of Tones who’s career as a pioneer of dance music speaks for itself and last but not least the marvellous duo Marcel Vogel & Tim Jules, also new to the AM family, who’s baptism fulfils our high expectations. A list of virtuosos worth an All-Star Game! The opening track is ‘Your Face’ by Kisk & the supreme and unrivalled voice of Robert Owens, with a bunch of great musicians who took part in the creative process: the Cuban Gendrickson Mena (trumpet, Saxhorn), Max Lagana` (Bass) and Nate Lotz who recorded some grooves on the drums. In A1 resides the concept of Jazzy; the dialogue between man and machine which is still, in the modern era, the perfect equation to produce music. Starting from some old, dusty samples here’s surely one for the records, fully embodying Kisk’s approach to music production. A2 is ‘Hearme’ by Tuccillo. The Neapolitan born but Spanish adopted is a veteran of the Apparel Music’s family, that’s why we’re so happy to have him leaving his mark once again on a special occasion like this Bday. His track perfectly epitomises his sensuality, profoundness and sensitivity as a producer, being capable of expressing through his music some of the distinctive characteristics that AM aims to communicate. The Deep soul of Fred P comes out in all its strength in his track ‘From The Other’ kicking off B-side. We're delighted to have the American producer on board as his first appearance on AM leaves no doubt about his huge talent as a music maker, while B2 is an Ivano Tetelepta & Euge`ne Latumeten’s affair with ‘Where Have You Been?’ and we’re overjoyed to greet again the pair who’s back on the label with a really special production. The dreamy pads and the punchy rhythm section helped by the smooth vocals are yet again the logotype of the Dutch duo. The second vinyl begins with Salary Boy and his ‘Piano House’. The London based Swede's production is the perfect way to start the C side with its classic yet modern touch. Another gem to add to the collection. Chevals then takes over in C2 with ‘All I Wanna Do Is Love You’ and we’re so happy to see a skilled guy like him being recognised in the music business, as sometimes a label's purpose is just to be the perfect filter of someone else's visions. His track is another tangible example of his qualities. Then, to kick off the D side we got Art Of Tones with ‘Never Sleep’, a fabulous funky groove with a compulsive rhythmical attitude where the Parisian House icon displays his musical genius in a track genuinely crafted to fit the mood of the Apparel 10th birthday. We’re really proud to have a guy like Ludovic on board for this project as he’s been eager to join our gang since day one and that’s the perfect occasion. Is up to Marcel Vogel & Tim Jules to complete the masterpiece with the last brushstroke which is an experimental and modern tribal beat with masterly arranged keys and superb percussions. The sound research of this track is quite astonishing and, in its whole, is what may be the loop you’d play over and over again to open or close a mesmerising DJ set! Finally a very special and important mention for the artist and friend of the AM’s clan Marco Fantini, a true visionary who blessed us with the chance of choosing amongst some of his stunning artworks for the covers of the record. Each production, indeed, has a different and dedicated piece that reflects its mood. Thanks Marco for having such an important role in this creative process! The record will be out in July so brace yourselves for what is evidently the highlight of our year and... let’s blow thee 10 candles together, as always, as a family, spreading love for good music!

Ibadan announces the release of a new remix by Dennis Quin of Kerri Chandler & Jerome Sydenham ft. Troy Denari - You're In My System on vinyl in December, 2019.

Quin, a self-professed house addict and die-hard Kerri Chandler fan since the early nineties, had been searching for a new vocalist to work with. He turned to Simon Birkumshaw, label manager and A&R of Chandler's Madhouse Records, who recommended Troy Denari, the original vocalist of the classic Ibadan track "You're In My System". When Denari revealed that had just resung the vocals, Quin was inspired to remix the track.

Quin's aim with this remix was to update the track for his sets and give it contemporary production values in line with his current digital sets. "It's always tricky to put your hands on a huge record like this," he says. "It's a legendary track that everyone knows, so I was extremely careful in terms of mixing, timing, and all the rest." The result is a modern version of the classic that is very true to the original. At the same time, Quin makes his mark by bringing his own drum and percussion into the mix.

The remix versions cover all the bases for various digital distribution formats, including atmospheric dub, club and instrumental mixes, plus a special three-minute edit for Spotify.

Working together for the first time, the members of the musical team were excited to exchange their ideas. "Troy, Kerri, Jerome and I have gained so much out this intense collaboration. It has developed into a deep friendship that is all about house music, good vibes and pride in our achievements. Each of us is fulfilled by our individual roles in this project. I'm really proud to be part of this family."

Christine Pedersen, managing director of Ibadan Records, is excited about Quin's first release on the label. "It's always a pleasure to welcome new and talented collaborators into the fold. And I love the new vocal. Troy's singing brings a fresh spin to the track."

Pitto is not one to flood the scene with new music considering he’s only released two ep’s in the last three years. He takes the time to let ideas evolve and it’s clearly noticeable on last year’s EP on ‘Something Happening Somewhere’ sublabel ‘Ooshaa’, where his feel for an almost poppy hook is perfectly combined with his love for darker electronics. On the ‘Baila baila EP’ –his return to Heist after his last ep in 2018- he explores this path further. The EP is filled with live percussion, a dark and rolling acid line, chopped beats and catchy piano riffs. The three originals are accompanied by a remix courtesy of Pete Herbert that has ‘summer’ written all over it.

Opening track ‘Sammie’ has a beautiful sense of melancholy to it, where an emotional piano riff is combined with some 80’s tinged vocals and loads of live percussive elements for a smile inducing experience.

‘Discko’ takes a darker approach with a deep and ‘dubby’ low end and a guitar riff that wouldn’t be out of place on a Caribou track. The horn section and synth lead give it a real crossover appeal and it’s the kind of track you imagine working just as well on a summer festival as in a dark basement.

On the flip, there’s the title track ‘Baila’, a proto inspired acid stomper with a nice wink to early 90’s dance music vocals. An acid line gives the track its backbone, but it’s the combination of Pitto’s chords and instrumentation that give this track it’s unique edge.

The EP finishes off with Pete Herbert’s remix of ‘Sammie’. Pete’s version has that full-on summer appeal with his recognizable style of modern day island disco. He adds a bit of drama to the track with some big breakdowns, changeovers in the piano riff and turns the Balearic vibe up a notch with an added dreamy solo.

We’re happy to have Pitto back on Heist and this unique and diverse EP is one we hope will create a lot of smiles on the dance floor in the coming months.

Yours Sincerely,
Lars & Maarten
