Sensoramic is a new label on a mission of sensory expansion. For the debut release the UK based imprint drafts new producer Karousel to deliver two cuts of machine driven house. S.A.M., the Danish Oscillat/Delaphine favourite appears on the remix fresh from delivering a slew of killer originals and remixes as well as his most recent Mandar collaboration with Lazare Hoche and Malin Genie. On this Reshape, he is at his most sublime best delivering an emotive retake on the original that stretches heady organs and melodies alongside a beat that refuses to let up.

Major discoveries found in a Chicago Basement shared with World! This collection shows vast possibilities and a hope for the Future of House Music that there is much more we still don't know! Keep your eyes and ears wide open and support this label! Encourage the search to continue. Note the Mr. Fingers sounding track included. Hmmm interesting...

Amsterdam house head and Slapfunk artist Daniele Temperilli extends the 'ruff and ready' formula Kakudo records brings to vinyl addicted dancefloors worldwide. A formulae clearly showing: club music remains about tracks. Massive tracks - that is! In which Temperilli focuses on the power of our label's core ingredients. Raw beats, raw bass. Being part of the leading Dutch House movement he caters an energetic mixture of thumpin', bass-fuelled vibes. As minimalist as eerie, as funky as mad, as oldschool as futuristic!

A: Eerie Power
Eerie indeed, this track shines best in the dark of a foggy, sweating club. While a dirty rattlin' garage beat workout and swellin' bass push this track forward, it takes but a few psychoactive sounds and bubbly synth fx plus a maddening old school hiphop vocal to dig deep into your body and soul.

A2: Eerie Power/ U Know The Drill Mix
U Know The Drill slightly straighten out the original's skippy beat, while celebrating the dry as fuck attitude of a dirty 909 kick even more. Every drumsound is forced to ensure its filthy drive to the fullest. In order to dance, in order to pump fists, while soles are burnin and souls are explodin' on the floor.

B1: Ceci
Some techno-ish and heavy beat-roll reminiscing the likes of Green Velvet and DJ Rush in parts, meeting freaky noises and fx. A marching groove that does not need a lot besides the belching combination of kick and bass here. Should this be Techno Garage Whateva! It's a dirty game, and we love it!

B2: Curare
Curare' equals the infamous poison that is shot with deadly arrows. The shortest EP track dishes out a low slung, heavy beat, combining the drive and feel of techno, house and garage in their rawest forms. A trippy, venomous synth signal sound finishes off the victim that has become prey to the beat.

Embezzlement Society takes us back to the early days of 80s Hip-Hop with his 'Rough Quarters EP'. On his record the man from Belfast heavily relies on Funk-based drum loops as were popular in the glorious days of old school Hip-Hop. The results are two super casual tracks with a cool Hip-House attitude - just perfect for Hip-House lover Drei Farben House who took the chance to contribute a remix in his slick and smooth style, merging the raw drums with some tender Rhodes. Tenderpark regular Roman Rauch finishes off the EP and slows down the tempo in his remix concentrating on the originals of the samples and displaying his mastery with the MPC once more. As always all tracks have been mastered and cut by Helmut Erler at Dubplates & Mastering.

Dave Aju, Alland Byallo, Kenneth Scott and Marc Smith joined together as KAMM, resulting in a mini-album called Kick Drunk Love for marcel Vogel's Amsterdam based label Intimate Friends.iDescribed in a press release as being influenced by the artists' "love of early '90s MoWax era laid-back beats," it features Barrite on lead vocals (with Byallo and Scott also contributing vocals), Smith on guitar, Byallo on trumpet and Scott on Moog synth. There's a couple guest appearances as well: Damian Schwartz plays some bass on "Sidewalks" and Eureka provides "a hell of a (vacuum) rev" on "Stage Left."

Cabin Fever Vol 36 is brought to you live & direct from the bad bwoi streets. Don't stop...keep goin' !

Italian imprint Dabit Records is racking up the releases, this time enlisting the services of UK producers Hidden Spheres and HBN.

The EP opens up with 'Need Your Love' a piano cut which croons and filters its way through 7 mins of pure unadulterated house goodness.

Italian producers Die Roh are asked to work their analogue magic on the 'Need your Love' track. Upping the tempo and taking things back to the early 90s in one fell swoop. A raw, deep down and dirty interpretation of the original and a great addition to the EP.

'No House' by Hidden Spheres is a pitched down anthem of a track, big strings and delaying vocals make for an epic feel.

Finishing things off is the more tech tinged 'Control'. The Korg M1 organ bass is in full affect, nicely tied together with a chugging beat and yet another big vocal cut.

A great package with a track for every occasion.

Wilson records is back with a branding 'spanking' new, special printed-screen edition celebrating label head, Fabio Monesi's first solo EP. The succession of the label and Fabio's sound has been ever so apparent. A manifestation into something much more darker and refined, something represented crystal clear in the riveting rhythms of the A side with 'Gotta Blaser' & 'Djago'. On the flip, the B side is a declaration of love, if you will, to the mother of it all; Chicago's house music.

The tenth in the series has been twisted in an all too unconventional fashion for the Wilson imprint. Here we have the sequential EP from the WLS09, dedicated to some seriously hot, off the wall remix action from 4 of the most revered artists in the game today; Chicago house legend, Gene Hunt, the notorious HotMix Boss, Simoncino and a remix each from Berlin based Techno-House duo, The Analog Cops. Get ready for some unreal sonic business.

For its premier release, Division Point Industries is proud to announce a 4-track EP by Rolling Ones, a collaborative project featuring Johannes Auvinen (Tin Man) and Jordan Poling (Jordan). Rolling Ones finds its voice in the synthesis of each artist's sound, combining Tin Man's acidic melodies with Jordan's deep, textural pads. Debuting at the Division Point Industries residency at Bushwick's notorious Bossa Nova Civic Club, Rolling Ones marked their arrival by playing a DJ back-to-back set. Opening the record is '93' Mustang', a muscular, no-nonsense roller built around deep wells of warm bass and slick-piston percussion. As it builds, Tin Man's signature acidic squelch dances in the remaining space, giving the track a sense of both life and depth. Next is 'Faded Delorian', an abyssal burner that refracts its ghostly tones around a panning labyrinth of crystalline synths. On the flip is 'Slammed Cadillac', a sinewy, stripped down stomper of clattering percussion and caustic 303s. 'Jacked Up Impala' finishes the record as a jacking acid tool. Founded by Jordan Poling, Division Point Industries is a new label built on the success of a collaborative residency with Cory James at Brooklyn's Bossa Nova Civic Club. Having hosted artists ranging from the established to the underground, Division Point Industries has crafted a no-nonsense take on deep house and techno that is rich in history while remaining focused on the future.

(IF ANY)Think Croydon and a few things come to mind; Kate Moss, punk band The Damned, Crystal Palace football club, Peep Show and of course Dubstep, the now world conquering music genre that will forever be linked to the south London suburb. What you never hear though, is any mention of Tech House, another world conquering music genre. And to be honest we're a little bit peeved about that. Because if Tech House has a spiritual home it's Croydon, and that is due mainly to Swag Records and the people that gravitated towards the humble West Croydon record shop and studio. Swag began in late 1992 and within a year it has positioned itself as the leading store to buy the strange new, stripped down, trippy, driving brand of house music being played at underground parties in and around south east London. On any given day you could walk in and find Terry Francis, Dave Mothersole, Grant Dell or Richard Grey serving behind the counter, Eddie Richards, Colin Dale or Mr C buying records and Matthew B, Gideon Jackson or Affie Yusuf at the helm in the studio upstairs. The building shook night and day with the throbbing, bass heavy grooves and the beat never stopped - or so it seemed. And now all these years later some of those records made in that little room at the top of the old Victorian building that housed the Swag headquarters are finally starting to get the recognition they deserve. Back when those tunes were cut, in the late 90's and early 00', pretty much the sole intention was to have something new and exciting to play at parties like Wiggle, Heart & Soul, Whoop Whoop and Kerfuffle.

Versionz is a Deep housae, Groovy, dancefloor jam... Untitled is a dark acid after hours cut...
