Third vinyl release on Frole with James Barnsley from Leeds. "Want To Be" is a deep house track with strong vibe and catchy vocal. Including fantastic mixes from the legendary Chez Damier and the Italian Samann (Traxx Underground).

Italy's Katal who delivers three hypnotizing house tracks with British producer TIJN providing a remix.

Katal may be a newcomer but his accolades are continually impressive having released on the likes of Oblack, Isgud, Downhill Music and Roush. His next outing sees him arrive on Blind Vision Records for the imprint's second release following on from an exceptional debut from Juliche Hernandez.

Soft synths, intricate percussion and a lively bassline combine to form a low-slung groove in 'Diamond' before TIJN, who's released on Isgud, Overall Music, Decay and his own imprint In Haus Wax, then remolds the track by stripping it back and emphasizing ebbing pads and a composite rhythm. 'Room 201' is a mesmerizing affair featuring distorted samples, crunchy rimshots and deep chords before 'Transmission' concludes the package with syncopated drums and ethereal tones.

TS09 is the 2nd EP of the TONESERIES project and in line with its 1st release TS10.
However, its two tracks DIPE and FEATHERHAND present a more dance-floor driven
vibe and deeper groove.

With regard to the artwork, as shown on the cover, each track has its own colour.
There is neither a A nor a B-side. The same applies to the record vinyl itself. Each
track stands on it own. As a result, DIPE and FEATHERHAND distinguish themselves
from each other through their vibes and colours, although they remain in the same
spirit.
In summary, TONESERIES brings together the idea of interdependence between
music and design: what colour follows on from music and, in return, which musicality
comes out of colours.
TONE SERIES was born from the collaboration between Villa's former bouncer (one
of the most underground clubs of Berlin) - Wolfram, French music producer, live
performer and DJ - David K, and LumièresLaNuit's co-founder and An der Grenze's
founder - Edouard.

Nach ersten Maxis für Dixon Avenue Basement Jams, Clone und Aus sowie einer Trilogie für Houndstooth, legt er nun sein Debütalbum vor. "Social Housing" deckt das gesamte Spektrum der House Music ab, von deepen Grooves über Disco Cut-Ups bis soulful Keyboard-Jams und jacking Drumcomputer und featured dabei die Stimme der legendären Jocelyn Brown.

When San Francisco's ICEE HOT launched its own record label last fall with a new record from Ghosts On Tape (one of the party's founders), there was a lot of talk about how quiet he's been in recent years. Now, a mere nine months later, that's all changed.

Following the release of "Nature's Law," Ghosts On Tape has been on an absolute tear, dropping numerous remixes and turning out new tunes at a blinding clip. At this point, he's built up a solid reserve of dancefloor weapons, and ICEE HOT is thrilled to begin unleashing it upon the world.

"No Guestlist" is the first salvo, and it's an absolute stormer. Combining the brash spirit of classic Chicago with Ghosts On Tape's drum-heavy sensibilities, the much sought-after tune has been lighting up ICEE HOT for months and is poised to do some major damage. The producer's own "Underground Mix" takes things deeper, albeit while keeping the sass of the original version intact.

Finnish producer Arttu has also been enlisted to remix "No Guestlist," and kicks off the b-side with a playful and light-hearted take that employs snapping drum patterns and gleefully lilting melodies. Rounding out the record is another Ghosts On Tape original, "Still Got the Feeling," a darker, slower burning cut that reflects just how effective he can be when experimenting with a more techno-flavored template.

Vinyl Only

On the A side SCM provides the perfect blend of analog synths, heavy kick drums and a badass bass line ranging from fuzzy voices to contagious la
tin samples. On the flip the Berlin based label delivers a very rare recordings of his guest Chicago's Jordan Fields. These experiments were recorded directly to tape and lost till now!

Jimini analogue jamming, with a Flyypost's goosebump vox version of 'ON THE ROAD' with Molly Knew. Pressed on transparent burnt orange vinyl, with hand stamped toadstool sleeves and 40mm micro labels! We are also giving the full EP away as a free digital wave download with 2 extra bonus tracks...

I can't even afford bed linen, let alone a 909". The unpretentious of Jay Donaldson is disarming in many different ways.
We consider Donaldson aka Palms Trax to be one of the most promising new artists to date. His sound situates him firmly along the Chicago-Detroit axis, cooking up pad-driven jams, off kilter drums and hazy synths that shift like a gentle musical tide. In 2013 he inaugurated the Lobster Theremin label, the London-based imprint that quickly became one of the most talked about record labels around. When not travelling the world for prime-time gigs Donaldson holds a residency at the widely respected Berlin Community Radio. It's with great pleasure that we welcome golden boy Palms Trax to Dekmantel Records.

A new side project from one of Rotterdam's most talented producers, Alden Tyrell!. Two highly infectious house tracks deeply rooted in the culture of New York's early 90's garage parties and New Jerseys club scene.

We Play The Music We Love is an Italian and Uk based party that after 7 years of activity has decided to start with its own vinyl only label. The first release comes from one of the founders and resident DJ of the collective: RILLS. He clearly stamping his mark on the label with two solid tracks to launch things with some claut. The two original tracks, one featuring Sinderesi, explore some dubby house territory with mesmerising chords that will be appreciated on any demanding dancefloor. The additional remix is from the producer of the moment: Samuel Andre Madsen a.k.a. S.A.M. (Oscillat, Delaphine, Mandar, Fathers and Sons).

We are very proud to present the first collaboration of various artists on Ubertramp Records; including 4 wonderful productions from the likes of Roni Nachum, Giovanni Damico, Michael McLardy, and Desos.

This various-artists joint features four of today's hottest underground artists and promises to be the anthem of the summer.

With four strong dance tracks built for either the dance floor or the listening room, "Rotate. Freely." will be quick to establish itself as one of the hot summer records to have in the bag. The record features artists who have either been to - or played at - the Freerotation music festival that occurs every July in Wales. AMR Chief Director Malcolm Moore, who makes an appearance on this EP, was inspired by the festival and the music showcased there.

Malcolm's track, "They Just Don't Know You," is a melodic, acid-tinged middle finger to all those in the industry who make assumptions about others based on perception. This first cut features a baseline that grows harsher as the song progresses. The second track, by up-and-comer Natan H (Jordan Hochenbaum) of Gauss (Batti-Batti) offers a belter of his own in "Cruisin'" that starts off innocuously enough but then grows into a bona-fide, acid-bathed heater at its apex.

On the flip, things continue with "Ungentle Into That Good Night" from Chicago Skyway, a longtime AMR family member. As in previous releases on the label, this track features him on the deeper, darker side, yet is still quintessential Skyway with snares, kicks, and high-hats drizzled throughout. A muted, macabre pad swells up from the start, then intertwines with a similarly dark, filtered lead through the remainder of the cut. Finally, Mick Welch, an understated artist from the UK, closes out the EP with "Tetra Hi", a rimshot-infused, arpeggiated number blended with velvety keyboard leads.

Need you back is a collaboration piece between the anonymous Mystep character and vocalist Frank H. Carter III. The original track and vocal laid the grounds for remix work by label regular Jamie Trench, and a most experimental remix by our new friend Dudley Strangeways. This release also commemorates 3 years of Made Fresh Daily, it's been a hell of a lot of fun and learning so far. Here is to another 3, MFD forever.

"Kaleid", 4 trax of wonky, late-nite-swing, the first EP of new house stuff by Nail on his own 89:GHOST label. Step away from the drip-tray. Props to Bones. 300 copies on no-frills black vinyl.

NYC LOFT TRAX + UNRELEASED 1991-1995!!!
Not much known about this release but made by seminal production outfit in the mid 90's NYC... Never before released in any format! ALL KILLER NO FILLER!

Marshall Jefferson, Ron Hardy & Frankie Knuckles collaborating across 2 sides of a single 12" Need we say more Obviously that's a dream line-up right there & of course the results of such a meeting of minds is nothing short of outstanding! Just listen to the record & you'll see! Essential business...

"Ride The Rhythm" came out on Trax in 1986, making it one of the "first wave" House records to land & make a massive impression here in the UK & in Europe. Marshall Jefferson's fingerprints are all over this bad boy, his massive piano riffs, non-stop bass-lines, the pounding drums, everything about this record is just HUGE! He had an incredible knack for making accessible, club tracks with cross over appeal that the underground heads clamored to get hold of at the same time. Throw Frankie & Ronnie (literally) in the mix & you've got solid, classic, all-time Gold on your hands (& turntables!).

Fully re-mastered, re-pressed & re-released for 2015 in it's original format with the permission & participation of all rights holders with all original Trax label artwork intact.
