MOTHER RECORDINGS welcome SIMION for a new tidy two track EP entitled XTC. This artist has really made a big impression over the last couple of years with releases on labels like Snatch!, Suara, Hedonism, and now he impresses on Mother.

The title track XTC goes first and is six minutes of face melting house with nice gloopy and reversed synth lines tugging you in weird directions. The drums are fresh and the perc sprinkled over the top helps drive things along as vocals pop out of the mix.

Then comes HAUS, a tougher house tune with wooden drum sounds, freaky vocals that are expertly treated and loopy sub bass that really pulls you in. Add some fire vocals that really set things off and you have a sure fire winner.

German DJ and producer ROBOSONIC is back with another of their party starting EPs, this time on MOTHER RECORDINGS. It comes after years of serving up sizzling tunes on labels like DFTD, Kittball and OFF Recordings and across two sweet tunes they really cook up a sonic storm.

PEACH (Original Mix) is first and is a juicy house tune with lovely warm, groovy chords - written together with Jan Weigel. It's a colourful cut with real soul and squelchy bass and is the sort to get the floor filled right up.

ICKE UND SIE (Original Mix) on the flip is another feel good tune, with well swung drums, skipping kicks and well treated vocals that bring a vibe feel. More great chords flesh things out and this is a timeless jam to close out an essential two tracker.

Iconic DJ and producer Paul Woolford has teamed up with singer/songwriter Karen Harding to deliver ‘You Already Know’.

Blessed with a soaring vocal, ‘You Already Know’ flaunts Paul’s vintage sounding chord patterns to create a retro-sounding summer floor filler. The synth-led production follows his recent club-ready D-Mix of the single, which marked the 400th release on esteemed dance label Positiva Records who recently celebrated their 25th anniversary.

Combining Paul’s four-to-the-floor signature style with Harding’s rich and emotive vocal delivery, ‘You Already Know’ looks set to secure a spot as one of this summer’s hottest dance records.

MOTHER RECORDINGS label boss and house hero NHAN SOLO is back with another hard hitting bomb, this time entitled „The Jungle“ and due out on March 22nd.

This six minute sizzler has rubbery, rolling drums and loose bass that will pump the club. The whistle melody catches you hear at first and makes you all day and night sing along. :)
The female vocals shouts flavour to the beats and are sure to get hands in the air. The whole thing is full of charm and atmosphere and is a typically lively house weapon from this contemporary tastemaker.

Hot on the heels of their last outing on the label back in October, MAT.JOE are back on their regular MOTHER RECORDINGS label. This time the hot duo from Berlin delivers again an incredible 2 tracker HIT EP.

The first cut is "NIGHT & DAY", a slick and atmospheric affair with silvery and slithering percussive loops, house and rubbery drums and the sort of emotive vocals that really send crowds wild. Clever effects and lovely, glossy melodies and vocal chants add a summery, humid feel and all in all it makes for a sure fire winner.

The flip is „DANG DANG DANG", a 100% disco jam! Boys are digging deep, expert vocal sample, massive brass sounds really add flavour to the funky groover. This kind of record every DJ needs in their collection to make the lady´s hips shaking on the dance floor. ;)

All in all, this EP finds both MOTHER RECORDINGS and MAT.JOE in ultimate top form once again.

Black Vinyl 2x12"

‘Dropped Out Sunshine’ is NYC mutant Madteo’s incredible new album of trigger-happy club graffiti on Demdike Stare’s DDS, weighing in a keenly anticipated follow-up to 2012’s cult-classic
‘Noi No’ LP for Sähkö Splitting at the seams with deviant funk and irrepressible attitude, Madteo’s first LP in 7 years forms a fractal, mixtape-like mosaic of asymmetric techno informed by skewed traces of rap, House, R&B and dancehall. Its 12 tracks are delivered in an enviably nonchalant, freehand style that’s become the Italian-American artist’s ear-snagging signature since 2012’s ‘Noi No’ and ‘Mad Dip Revue’ albums, and also a dozen 12”s and mixtapes over the interim; all of which exerted heavy inspiration for everyone from Andy Stott and Joy O to Demdike Stare over the past decade, making this new LP a perfectly unusual fit for the anything-goes DDS aesthetic shared by label alumni including Mica Levi, Equiknoxx, Iueke and Shinichi Atobe.
Without beating around the bush, ‘Dropped Out Sunshine’ is a straight-up masterpiece of cut-up sampledelia bound to make the club dance differently. Crammed with sawn-off edits that never lose the thread, its wild and effortlessly inventive turns of phrase are anathema to linear club music convention, generating fizzing alchemy from mutually exclusive bedfellows such as dancehall and techno, or R&B and noise that could really only be executed by a producer of Madteo’s calibre. Yet for all its singular nature, the album is also patently symptomatic of the times,
sub-consciously parsing a gripping intimacy, personality and urgent yet elusive psychedelia from ubiquitous media overload.
Kicking off with another *****-sampling zinger ‘1 4 U’ (following his infamous use of ‘Marvin’s Room’ on ‘Noi No’), and ending up mired in the melancholy gauze of ‘The Lies That Bind’, at each step the
album effortlessly resists a struggle to square the nature of artistic expression. Fragments of gospel blues noise intersect gauntlets of filtered house fuckry, while restless Autechrian electro rubs up against uncoiled trap and needle-worrying levels of textured bass turbulence, leading to an outrageous turn of stuttering ragga-tekno in ‘Resident Alien (Broke-’n-Steppers Reluctant Club Mix)’ and a final side of collapsed, post-club styles that will leave listeners wondering wtf just happened, and ready to do it all again.

SHAZZer Project created by Shazz and Jean-Marie K on their respective labels : Batignolles Square & Electronic Griot. These long-standing friends were left with an ambitious project to reissue Shazz's most outstanding titles over the past 25 years!

The SHAZZer Project was born out of the desire of these two enthusiasts to help discover or rediscover Shazz's emblematic titles from his albums or F Communications releases remixed by big players of the electronic music scene. The "A" EP is composed of remixes by French rising stars Folamour & Tour-Maubourg as long as established artists such as Ian Pooley & Oliver Dolar.

"SHAZZer Project" you're back from the future!

Cardiff's best kept secret Chesus debuts on 4lux with a release of his own. 4 strong deep house tracks. Cleverly combining the old with the new, Chesus shows his amazing production skills once again. The single features collaborations with fellow Cardiff producers Kofi Tarris and, of course, The Organ Grinder with whom he previously released the club banger Steam Roller. Tip!

Ross Ferraro is a seasoned producer from Australia that has been making waves as 1/2th of The Posse, - after a Posse remix on the Pulp side of things, Ross Ferraro now presents his first outing as Rosario on the Saft mothership. "Keep On EP" contains three originals and a remix by Adam Feingold's under his Ex-T moniker.

The title track is a breezy affair that combines crazed synth swirls with oddball disco FX and a tight section of drums which serves as the perfect opening track for this overall outgoing record.

"Ex-T's Phunqy Mix" starts off in a more timid way, but as the name suggests - quickly gets more extrovert and freakish. Vocals and experimental sounding blips and blops take over and cleverly come together in an original fashion.

"Lo" revolves around an tribal sounding chant, chord hits and an array of fx, and quickly becomes - while remaining quite stripped down - the most euphoric track in this collection. The chords sit beautifully with the bouncy drums and evolving arpeggiator that floats on top.

"Follow Me" is a silky smooth work with a soothing vocal and piano sample that work as the main sounds. Rosario is constantly altering the bass sound throughout this cut and creating a modern boogie ambience. The trance inducing synths suggest a relaxing evening atmosphere and cause for "Follow Me" to be the perfect farewell cut.

Repress

After the Clone Club series of Jovonn and Dj Deep, another repress with dj Deep involved! Probably one of the best selling releases on the label and nothing more then essential for everyone into the New York/New Jersey house vibes. recommended!

ltd to 300. With this release the Inhale Exhale posse brings you an international cocktail of House crème de la creme – from heavy club stompers over garage-ish snare rolls to deep, soulful excursions. 100 % dancefloor exhilarating.

Up steps Slovenia’s Alleged Witches with a trippy, hypnotic four tracker - Initiation Rituals.

A hand stamped, limited vinyl pressing which demonstrates the artist’s ability to create intricate, subtle music that intrigues whilst still moving dance floors.

Over just a couple of releases Kristjan Kroupa has developed a sound which is both singular and versatile, taking in elements on house, techno and minimal without ever really being any one alone. Initiation Rituals sees him take his deepest exploration into the deep, dark, club music which he is becoming recognised for.

A record of detailed, percussive sounds, the release sees Alleged Witches present a package of sounds which is clearly inspired by his fascination with the occult, the strange and the sinister as his name might suggest.

Joe Cleen is back with his second EP, following the vibe of his previous one, providing mesmerizing anthems like 'Show me your Dimension' & 'And this is' that have the undeniable spark to bring everyone together on the dancefloor.

'We need' on the flip is one of those rainy days house best friends...
That track you listen to on repeat in the train on the way back from that amazing night in the club.

We're of course extremely proud to have the Don, Glenn Astro, give his touch of playful deepness & Detroit grittiness to it to make the package full as you're used to from Jazz Cabbage.

Bakk Heia Records has evolved as an extension of Manchester based club night Bakk.Heia (Back Here).
The label mirrors the party's ethos: blurring the lines between ambient drones, performance, abstraction, hedonism, and dance music.

Johnny Phethean aka Schuttle, born in Newcastle and now based in Manchester, heads up Bakk Heia's debut offering with a 4-track EP, following a 6-track cassette released through London/Paris label Panatype, which ranked highly in Boomkat's ambient charts and received a sterling review from Resident Advisor.

The A side starts with the fractured and angular expanse of 'Grade 1', which gives way to the meditative percussion of 'Speke'.
Over on the B, 'Utensil' delivers a club focused acidic tonker, with 'Grade 2' providing the gentle reprise.

Schuttle's music is as much built for the dance floor as it is shaped for the introspective listener - raw and tender in equal measure.

When Smallpeople went touring Australia for the third time in 2016, we played a gig in Brisbane and had an amazing time hanging with James Hilan, a young gun from the local scene-
a heavy vinyl collector and bad-ass DJ. He took us to the Wheel of Brisbane for our first Vape experience ever and after some good laughs we became friends. When James sent over
some of his deep yet pumping tracks a few years later we were blown away and when we played them out at our monthly residency at Golden Pudel in Hamburg we decided to gave
them a home on on Fuck Reality – so here we go! Typography and full cover artwork as always by Stefan Marx.
