House Vinyl New Releases - News

Back at the dawn of the summer, Infinity Ink unleashed 'Infinity', a track that quickly became the tune of Ibiza 2012. Now that the sun is fading and the closing parties are drawing near, Dirtybird heavyweight Claude Vonstroke and Hot Creations homeboy Richy Ahmed put their own stamp on the cosmic garage anthem with the long awaited 'Infinity Remixes'.
Long-term friends and cohorts Ali Love and Luca C succeeded with something quite extraordinary in their new production guise as Infinity Ink. Already amassing a of support and an escalating fan-base with debut 'Games' on Hot Creations, their next instalment presented a unique cosmic take on garage and struck a chord with dancefloors around the globe. One of Crosstown Rebels most highly anticipated records of recent times, 'Infinity' and Its intoxicating qualities created a nigh on sonic hysteria this summer becoming the signature tune of many a poolside and disco. Championed by major players Jamie Jones, Seth Troxler, Damian Lazarus, Lee Foss and Art Department, this ground breaking piece of leftfield garage along with Ali's trademark evocative vocals, placed Infinity Ink firmly on the map as breakthrough artists of 2012.
After the legend Todd Edwards delivered what was arguably his best remix in years on the original release, two producers, each voyaging to totally different dimensions bring 'Infinity' into the next party season. First up, founder of pioneering San Francisco imprint Dirtybird Claude Vonstroke, submerges the original in a pool of futuristic, spaced out percussion, warping loops and cosmic FX - bestowing that Barclay brand of dirty, quirky funk.
For his Crosstown Rebels debut, Richy Ahmed steps back in time to 80s Chicago, cutting and manipulating Ali's vocal to a deep old school drawl reminiscent of classic Dance Mania Records. With a rude analogue bassline and retro piano driving into a full on acid work out, this beast of a track is sure to do some serious damage to the dancefloor in its own right.

Paper Recordings continue their journey back to plastic with another vinyl release once again proving why they remain one of UK's best loved labels..Jamie L is a mysterious figure of undisclosed origin and history who fits in to the Moodymann / Theo Parrish mold of heavy future disco; which his new production '(What We Saw) In The Burg' nails.
It's a heavy leftfield groove laid over broken house beats with a filtered bass, samples and leftfield vibe. The Detroit pad creeps up to the break and filters in and out as the track works it's way through for locked down dance floor business.
Next up, Havana Candy breaks out the analogue and takes things deeper and techier. With a rolling bass and tweaking acid line, it cuts to a Rhodes before filtering down and riding back to the heads down groove.
Cottam steps up for Paper for the first time and demonstrates what all the fuss is about with a very special mix. Clocking in at 9.41 it's deep, tough soulful house that crosses the 4/4 divide from techno to disco and deep house to soul.

Following on from two of our most popular releases yet and having recently cemented their reputation on the scene with output on labels such as Visionquest, Matthew Burton and Kate Rathod make their 3rd appearance on Retrofit for our 10th release.
Teaming up with Jay Shepheard on two of the tracks the pair deliver a cracking 4 track EP of diverse and unusual deep techno and house bristling with their unique sound design, sultry vocals and inspired grooves.Certainly one for the heads and keeping in context with Burtons recent Retrofit podcast this EP explores the deeper side of the retrofit pallet.

Following on from the success of last year's single 'Valley of Paradise', Psychemagik are back with 'Magik Cyrkles', a new compilation for Leng Records












(CD) Psychemagik present Magik Cyrkles - Various (Continuous DJ Mix)

Live percussionist turned DJ/producer, Rafael Moraes, first made a name for himself in the Brazilian house scene when he took command of the radio program Beats Eldorado; a platform upon which he was able to showcase his aptitude for mixing genres of modern electronic music. Here he presents intelligently blends elements of jazz, broken beat, Latin rhythms and deep house. 'Ahead' demonstrates his expertise and creativity in fusing different rhythms with Caribbean and Brazilian genres; intricate beats that gain momentum over a poignantly incessant piano loop and the equally yearning vocals of Torquato. The heat rises ever so slightly with the thumping b line and off beat rhythms of 'What', yet the trance like spectrum of sounds make it an ideal track for 5 in the morning. The B side's 'Birth' is equally, if not more, meditative. This tranquil and organic blend of hushed whispers and Amazonian sounds, coupled with the gradual and refined crescendo of rhythms leaves you with a sense of completion; a sense that 'Modern Traditions', Moraes' labor of love, is finally delivered.

Tripmastaz, Orlando Voorn, Dan Curtin & Marcelus on the remix duties for the ninth release of the French label. Subotic's rave tune, from his Resonate EP, gets reconstructed by the Russian house master Tripmastaz, who delivers an intense & psychedelic piano track. Dutch legend Orlando Voorn takes Art Bleek's track into his customary funky & colored raw sound, while Dan Curtin brings his minimal and jazzy touch to Cab Drivers' Clubdespot. And last but not least, KiNK's Rave Signal gets reworked in a straight and rough way by talented French producer Marcelus, who has been recently under the spotlights after his releases on Deeply Rooted House and Tresor. 300 copies pressed on marbled vinyl.
Already support from : Rolando, Roberto Bosco, Santiago Salazar, Ed Davenport, Hardrock Striker, Agnès, Ibex...

Moodmusic is proud to present you Jack The Box, the collab between Chicago legend Tyree Cooper and Rob Stanley aka Bobby Starrr. Starting as a event collective in Berlin with nights in underground joints like Tresor, Kater Holzig, Kleine Reise and Loftus Hall. The duo finally spent some time in the studio with some amazing results which we are about to hear on Moodmusic. `The Tyree Cooper & Bobby Starrr EP´ starts with The Way We Walk, a belter of a house track taking vibes from early US labels like Bottom Line and House Jam. Next up is Got You with the vocals from Lady Blacktronika which is showing another vibe from the duo, syncopated beats with a bassline, fitting perfectly to the late 2012 vibe. The EP ends with AC3, a deep, dark and dirty tool for the late night hours showing some true Chi-town love from the new masters of deep.

British born Luca Lozano is a new addition to the Morris Audio roster. Both M.U.S.I.C. and Lover 106 are well balanced club tunes between House and Techno and incorporate deep, dark and intense emotions. Morris Audio and Klasse buddies Kris Wadsworth and Jordan Peak are offering some serious pimped up remixes of those hot tunes. Yes, we are all back on track!
Besides being the co-founder and A&R of up and coming 'Klasse recordings', Luca is preparing his full length album. He has been recording for labels like Claude Vonstroke's Dirtybird and off course Klasse. Busy times in Berlin!

RS006 'Mellow Drama EP' features a pair of up-&-coming duo acts;
Suburb from Hamburg and a pair of Greek artists known as Moshi Moshi.
The remixers on this project are Tristen, a White Label artist who
currently runs AIM Vinyl (Berlin), and the one and only Rick (The
Godson) Wilhite of 3 Chairs, Detroit. This release is vinyl only and
we hope you enjoy it.

Tuccillo made his 2020 debut in 2011 with the excellent 'Mathematics EP' which was one of our top sellers of the year and featured 'Password' that became bit of an underground Ibiza anthem in the hands of Luciano and at DC10.
Still based in Ibiza Tuccillo knows a thing or two about what works on the dancefoors over there, playing everywhere from Pacha to Circoloco, and since his last 2020 ep he's released for the likes of Defected and Rebirth and again hooked up with Willie Graff for releases on Freerange, Local Talk and Circus Company and remixed Osunlade and DJ Sneak.
His new EP again reflects his love for classic house, whether heads down and tracky (check Unblock, already a summer anthem for DJ Sneak), classic Balearic (Sabotage), or precision programmed deep house (Need U, Karimba).

Super-limited exclusive three track vinyl sampler ep from the upcoming L.I.E.S. "American Noise" 2xcd compilation ! TIP!
This sampler expands upon three completely styles reflective of the diverse L.I.E.S. catalog to date.
Torn Hawk pulverizing the entire a-side with his most unclassifiable material to date, Marcos Cabral returning to the label with a sinister 110 BPM techno track, and Delroy Edwards doing a blown-out Barney's workout. A strong finish to the year.

After bringing together the extended family for Retrospective's first showcase compilation, label co-founders and curators Ruben & Ra follow up with a 4-tracker from the revered Glaswegian disco duo, Slow It Down and the London-based house veteran Elijah Collins .

Flavour records was born by taste of underground music. Created and based in Paris, the label soaks up the soul of this city through warm grooves, hot rhythms and sweet harmonies.

Mwambe) - killer modern House with Doug Lee on the mix

Back to its roots with some deep and powerful Chicago house tracks. This time its Morning Factory on duty with a beautiful melodic and emotive two tracker! No secret that the Clone Jack For Daze series is inspired by the heritage of Chicago house music in all its forms. Morning Factory are taking us back in a time machine to the early days of Chicago labels such as Relief, Warehouse and Dance Mania whit releasesof guys like Tim Harper, G-Strings, Paul Johnson and Ron Trent. Back then young guys who were pushing bounderies with deep emotive house tracks containing a raw machine funk that was an essential part of house music in that period of the late 80's and very early 90's. The days that fragile melodies and layers of strings got combined with fierce energetic drum machine rhythms expressing the energy and moods of the young producers doing things never heard before with hardly any references other then some guys from around the block. The days of no references are way past us, but music from the heart will always stand out! Recommended
Some early feedback:
Philp Sherburne: Oh man, so good. Those chords! This might be my favorite Morning Factory tracks yet.... Fantastic.
L-vis1990: Great stuff!! feeling both of these.
Axel Boman: Both tracks are awesome! cant wait to play them
Danny Daze : Really great release!
Deetron: Very classy tunes, love them both to bits!!
Untold: sleepwalk is lovely. Looking forward to dropping that one
Laurent Garnier: Super old school Chicago vibes --- Lovin it
Ata: YES!! Deeep! Merci
Dj Deep: Anna Logue's Sleepover is awesome!!!
Dexter: Vette Shittt!!!
Gerd: Killer 12!!...Timeless classic Chicago tracks!!

Here we find a couple of heavyweights facing off with one of the centre pieces of Orgue Electronique's acclaimed 'Strange Paradise' album. On the one hand we have Kink & Neville Watson (an unlikely pair blabla but you know all that) with a swooning but rather pressing epic that unexpectedly turns into a harmonious vortex. And once you've crossed it's event horizon it proceeds to quite exquisitely tear you to shreads. Marvel as you turn into jelly and watch your legs grow longer and longer in what not only seems like an eternity, but actually *is* cause umm technically, like, there ain't no time in a black hole dude! Code! Speaking of which, if you ever do make it to the other side, you will find up 'n cummer Willie Burns (who is known to many as the Brooklyn Budgie Smuggler) oldschool Jacking the faders with two of the sikkest organic beat tracks north of the corpse of Ron (who is in a dead heat with Jimi, Jim and James in the race for most desecrated musician in like 4evah). Anyhow, these jamz come courtesy of the SP12. Feel it feel it feel it feel it... boom knock out!

collecting orders for another repress - be fast to secure your copy!

Brioski steps up to the plate for the third time on Nang this year, only on this occasion he brings his debut LP titled 'Hype Nothing' and we can't wait to get it out there! It's an accomplished, quirky outing through the realms of Italo, Disco and beyond, with deep percussive roots and a penchant for analogue gear.

Wonder & Amazement is a record I've had in various forms and incarnations from ex Chicken Lips members Steve Kotey & Andy Meecham for about a year now - a song that immediately grabbed me from the very first moment I heard it. Reminiscent of days gone by mixed with a touch of the new - a song that contains a mixture of both the old Classic and the new Classic. I've been championing it for a while now either in sets or charts, even including it on a recent compilation I did. A record that we are proud to be able to use as a soundtrack to this new era of Classic.
Adding to its unique wonder we talked to a few amazing producers to get their own vibes on it for remixes. Crooked Man aka DJ Parrott I've been a fan of for years as part of The All Seeing Eye, his recent 'Machine', 'Preset' and 'Ill Be Loving You' releases (all of which I actually tried to sign to Classic) and for generally being a bit of a Sheffield legend. Here his two mixes are exactly what I hoped for from him. Deetron's productions and remixes I've liked for ages and he seemed to be the right person to go to to give this record that bigger mix it needed. Yosa, is a completely under-rated Japanese producer in my eyes, who's recent records have stayed in my sets for a long long time - the vocal & Instrumental mix delivered here are his second attempt, stripping back the unnecessary fiddly bits and keeping it bare to the bones...classic.

Featuring a stunning array of exclusive killer tracks from Christian Smith, Guy J, Pig & Dan, Henry Saiz, Quivver, John Digweed & Nick Muir, Robert Babicz, Marco Bailey and more...
BEDROCK 14 compiled by John Digweed features 21 exclusive tracks from some of Bedrock's favourite artists and some exciting new names on the Bedrock roster, in a DJ-friendly unmixed format.

"THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE EP" from JAMAL MOSS is the 8th 12" from this highly coveted and limited imprint. "HOW WET IS YOUR BOX" starts with a great distorted & chaotic synth line & is followed by "SIDDHARTHA (PART 1)". Flip it for "LONG LIVE THE FLESH" & the title track. Fresh raw basements tracks!

2020 Midnight Visions return with another superb ep of fresh club music. The third release on the new offshoot label comes from Holland's Presk whose previously released on Ramp offshoot Fourth Wave and on Doc Daneeka's Ten Thousand Yen label.This EP follows where those left off mixing techno, skippy garage drums, and classic house styles with a close eye on the rave.The two a-side tracks 'Nobody Makes Me Do' and 'Akola' are cut from the same cloth, channeling classic electro and jackin house styles with choice vocals samples, but with an undeniable 2012 twist and are both aimed squarely at the dance.Cerano City on the flip takes a slightly different route to the dancefloor, with its hypnotic Detroit pads and definite C2 influence, in the right hands at the right time this will cause some serious damage.
This is another excellent EP from 2020 Midnight Visons and another clear statement of their intent to release forward thinking club music.

After the previous four compilation releases, Merkur's founder Shingo Suwa now announces his own EP.
As first track 'Never leave me / original mix' is a smooth house track, which combines synthetic riffs and chords
with a solid bass line.'HM Dub' is a remix by House Mannequin, This remix contains some of the vintage Chicago style beat,
including filtered pads with dubbed samples. It is an incessant groove of a mellow and simple dub edit.
Side B 'Inhaled deeply / original' is a profound production by Shingo,
created with a deep and raw groove. Wild rhythms assist the techno flavor here as well.
'Sei Katsu Acid mix' was created by the mysterious newcomer 'Sei Katsu from Miyazaki'.
This remix is a repetitive trip through hypnotic, sweeping synthesized lines and tricky drumming.
It's kind of a DJ tool that is functional on the dance floor.The label and his crew were able to create some sound and functional tracks,The vinyl has a quite modern underground atmosphere that is received well on the floor.The record has two original tracks made by Shingo. Additionally, it includes a remix for each track.
Merkur releases on vinyl only.Limited to 300 copies.

It's easy to come across many techno albums which contain neither a true vision nor a concept these days. However, throughout the last three years, the Berlin sound has witnessed a revival in both method and sound aesthetic. This is largely thanks to the work of a specific cohort of artists which have recalled on past principles and methods to push things forward in the aim of creating new and original frameworks for electronic dance music. At the centre of this limited group are the hardware radicalists known as the Analogue Cops and Steffi, the passionate heart behind Dolly and Klakson. Their unification in the studio has given us some of the best productions of the past year and this latest LP serves as both a proclamation of their shared love for the analogue sound and as a breath of fresh air for techno.
'The Absolute' kicks things off with rippling snare drums, a warm bass line and a sweet cocktail of atmospherics and effects. Restoration friend, nd_baumecker joins the team on 'Jackie', where a chopped up vocal is carried backwards and forwards by an edgy drum machine workout.
'The Base Of All Matters' is a progressive, heads-down beat filled with crispy snares and disjointed chords, but the trio really get going on 'Gauge Fields' - where a frenetic mixture of synth stabs and effects is swallowed by a montrous, syncopating bass line. Side C begins with 'Unity', a powerful techno tool which has recently been remixed by Steffi herself, Blawan and the mysterious Nightjars. 'Subsequent Stages' enters lighter house territories but still retains that signature Third Side rawness and minimalism. On the flipside, 'Fundamental Forces' introduces a heavy, bumping beat floating over a sea of euphoric voices and distant melodies. Finally, the amptly names 'Shit On Me' featuring Virginia (the talented singer and songwriter responsible for the astonishing vocals tracks 'on the rousing hit Yours', and on the touching 'You Own My Mind', both released on Berlin's Ostgut Ton in Feb 2011) closes things off with a nasty, twisted percussion which evolves into a more experimental, bass-fuelled anthem for the small hours. Real techno excursions for the coinnasseurs.

Elbee Bad is another great underground house pioneer from the formative days of NYC house in the late eighties. The True Story Of House Music finally gets told...
Like the Burrell Brothers, Elbee Bad aka Lamont Booker, is an early house producer from New York
City. And the comparison doesn't stop there; Elbee Bad has also recorded under different aliases and has also remained largely unknown to a wider audience. He has also recorded for Nu Groove Records, for which he has recorded his most famous material, but like the Burrell's he wasn't a Nu Groove fixture. Bad recorded for a slew of other independent New York house labels like Bassment,
City Limits, Easy Street, Red Heat, United States Of America and then there was his own LaRhon
Records. Almost 25 years have past since his first release 'Just Don't Stop', yet 'The True Story Of House
Music' is the first time Bad's catalog gets compiled for re-release. Although the best and most prolific
part of his catalog is his late 80's and early 90's output, Booker never stopped producing (and dj'ing).
The Nuyorican came up on the live circuit as a teenager, featuring as a drummer in his school band. When the group disbanded he decided to move forward solo. This was as at a time when hip hop and dj culture came up. He started dj'ing and experimenting with beat looping rock, disco and electronic records. He formed a dj crew and they started rocking PA's. Not long after that his first record came
out on an independent house label Bassment, which features 'Just Don't Stop'. Many singled followed on different label, including his most well-known EP entitled 'The True Story Of House Music' on Nu Groove Records. Not only does this feature various versions of the title track,
which caused a storm with djs around the globe, it also features the ambient song 'New Age Of Faith'.
The theme got used by Sabres Of Paradise who made it their own on 'Smokebelch II' which became a
landmark house and balearic record in the early 90's. Unfortunately for Elbee, the Sabres left him out
of the equation. It left a bad taste, but he kept on producing music, purely on emotion and never with a marketing mind. This is probably the main reason why he has stayed out of the limelight, yet has produced so many
timeless tracks, of which most can be found on this compilation. Elbee Bad aka LB Bad aka The Prince Of Dance Music aka Lamont Booker aka The Voodoo Man, aka
Lord KCB aka BAD currently lives and works in Berlin where he continues to work on music as well as
producing and running his Bad's Label.

Two years ago Dairmount got hooked on the fresh sounds of a young producer/DJ by the name of Martin Nowakowski. The first result of their artistic collaboration was the 'Reframe EP', a 4-tracker whose mesmerizing sounds grabbed the attention of quite some dignitaries of the international club scene such as Jimpster, Laurent Garnier, Steve Bug, Gerd and Simbad. Living the A&R to the fullest,Dairmount worked closely with Nowakowski to further develop his vision and sounds.
After sophomore EP's from Art of Tones and Marlow, Room with a View now proudly presents 'Magenta', Nowakowski's follow up to last year's 'Reframe'. As a colour, magenta represents the artistic union of the energetic red and the introspective violet, which is demonstrated in the 5 different shades of the artist on this EP. 'Magenta 1' is a light- hearted house banger, built around a sexy disco sample, whereas the vibes of 'Magenta 2' take us into minor musical territory. 'Magenta 3' delivers the very same hypnotizing trademark sounds we were introduced to through Nowakowski first RWAV EP . 'Magenta 4' represents a deep bounce, with intriguing bleeps and cut-up vocals.
Finally Nowakowski's love of Detroit is displayed through the abyssal synths and bouncing beats in 'Magenta 5'. The 'Magenta' EP displays a sonic portrait of the artist as a young man, it's a freshly sounding blueprint of what's to come. The future is bright, the future is magenta.

Ruf Dug is back, accompanied by some of his friends. Cool tracks disregarding the ongoing digital revolution, or like Ruf Dug likes to say himself: ANALOGUE AS FUCK, VSTS CAN KISS MY ARSE.

Midnight Love Club the second strike! It's a pleasure to release The Rhythm Odyssey (dance music legend Dean Meredith) with more of his acidic analog rawness and fuzzy vintage synths. Feel the warehouse vibe and check the deep techy remix of hotshot Ethyl (Secretsundaze, Quintessentials). MLC loves you!
Dean Meredith is a veteran of dance music . He was not only one of the founders of Chicken Lips and thus a cosmic-disco godfather, but he was also one-half of Bizarre Inc., responsible for many rave anthems and more. As The Rhyhtm Odyssey in 2012, he's back on the hottest labels like Rekids and Golf Channel. A real pro!

Luca Lozano presents KLSUNDERGROUND001 is Klasse Recordings' first foray into the various artists compilation field, a small but perfectly formed EP consisting of five tracks from various family members and extended homeboys. The idea behind the series is to take the focus back to the music, the EP aims to concentrate on tracks that are made with passion, pride and belief. Music that will stand the test of time against the torrent of seemingly endless throwaway material that floods our inbox day by day. The tracks on the EP speak for themselves, so I will do away with the usual wacky metaphors and just urge you to give them a listen. Thanks goes to Mr. Ho, Red Axes, Viadrina, Jordan Peak and Anders Hellberg for providing the music and a special thanks goes to the latter three for joining the Klasse family and being part of our new series. Enjoy the music and thanks for listening. Luca Lozano....

Preceding a full length album on 4lux, Ka§par showcases his amazing talents on this second EP for 4lux. The portuguese producer comes with some of the most interesting dance music around. Got Good Love is a tough Deep House groover that comes as both original and with a Nicholas remix. Cruising Andromeda is a futuristic techno tune for forward thinking deejay's. On Hyphen Ka§par slows down the pace and tosses in some 707 action: a crazy ride with rough synths and spaced out effects. Ka§par's releases have become rare and sought after, releasing little more than one 12'' a year in the recent past... when one listens to the result, it only proves how great things take their time.

One of the fastest rising underground stars of our generation, disco-house sensation Miguel Campbell makes a momentous come back on the Hot Creations imprint with two original tracks from his highly anticipated album with impressive remixes from Shadow Child and MAM.
Now one of the most sought after DJs and producers in the industry, it was Jamie
Jones and Lee Foss who first spotted the Leeds based Miguel Campbell and snapped him up with 'Baby I Got It,' which was released on the label in 2011. The release featured the astronomic 'Something Special', which became the biggest selling track on Beatport that year, now clocking over 4 million views on Youtube! Since then, Miguel has won a DJ Mag Best of British Award and has been releasing and remixing on other labels such as Wolf + Lamb and Outcross.
First up for this release, title track 'Rockin' Beats' featuring Naroe on vocals is a funk fuelled odyssey , filled with spacey electronic madness and showcasing Campbell's dexterous use of vocals adding extra dimensions as the vocoder Daft Punk style rapping rolls through the zappy synths and warm beats. Dirtybird favourite Shadow Dancer makes his first appearance on the imprint with his remix of 'Rockin' Beats'- bass-led and groovy with shuffling percussions, the track soon progresses into a perfect dose of nu-school house on a garage tip. The melodic keys and bouncing percussions are highly intoxicating and prove why the skillful producer has become a favourite amongst heavyweights including Eats Everything and Claude Von Stroke.

'Surely Not' is a brilliant house number with Moodyman indebted drum pattern based around a soul edged vocal sample which unfolds into a deep late night groover. This is an essential release for Detroit aficionados. On the flipside Earl goes in with 'British Knights' a frenetic subloaded tribal number with a lot of swagger and the odd nod to classic Todd Edwards and Afrika Bambaataa along the way. This one is all about the stabbing repetition and the infectious bass line that builds and builds euphorically until it drops into a rhythm track that commands the hips to move and the fist to punch the sky.
