First release from new Glasgow based Label Nord­Süd Recordings. The label is owned by Lee Duncan who records as Leeon (Seventh Sign) and it will be him who has the honour of providing the first outing with a remix of the title track from friend and sometime collaborator Hutton Drive (Domenic Cappello ­ Subclub, Seventh Sign, Soma, Frantic Flowers, etc.). This is Leeon's first piece of work since 2012 and Hutton Drive's first since 2010. The pair recently worked together as Ceol on Don't be Afraid records with the 'The Light' EP.

This 3 track EP consists of two original tracks by Leeon, 'Rest and Be Thankful' and 'Inner Zone' alongside the aforementioned remix by Hutton Drive. The two original tracks are melodic yet minimal, deep pieces rooted in classic house and electronic sounds that work both on the dance floor and headphones alike. The remix of 'Rest and Be Thankful' stays faithful to the original but ups the tempo and adds the typical rhythmic raw analogue sound that Hutton Drive is known for.

Record mastered by LUPO at Calyx and Artwork on label taken from an original painting by Glasgow artist Fergus Dunnet.

Support from Neville Watson 'blown away!', Pittsburgh Track Authority 'this shit is bananas', Marco Bernardi, Dan Curtin and Pangaea.

Special dub version of Mandingo's original track, 'Another Night on Earth." This is an extended alternate version of the original which appears on BC009_909 - Modern Underground V.3. It sounds like a spaced out house groove with some Chicago style stabs, Jamaica style rubs and Detroit style chords. This is a strictly limited one-sided 12' release.

Celebrating a landmark anniversary for arguably the most influential house music label of all time, Strictly DJ T.: 25 Years of Strictly Rhythm is a new mix album celebrating the rich musical history of the legendary imprint.

Mixed by Get Physical founder and long-term Strictly fan DJ T., Strictly DJ T.: 25 Years of Strictly Rhythm includes tracks from seminal Strictly artists including Logic, Aly-Us, DJ Pierre, Hardrive, DJ Sneak, Wink and many more, with a brand new edit of each track provided by DJ T. himself.

Strictly Rhythm first opened its doors in 1989 and quickly gained a following among club DJs thanks to a series of quality underground tracks by the likes of Roger Sanchez, Todd Terry and Kenny Dope. In 1994 Strictly notched up its first crossover hit with Real 2 Real's 'I Like To Move It', a feat it was to repeat several times during the next decade.

T's love affair with Strictly Rhythm began in 1990 during a transitional period both as a DJ and a club goer, from black music and broken beats to early electronic dance music. This was the year that T purchased his first Strictly record - Logic's 'The Warning' - and was immediately hooked on the pioneering sound of the label.

The tracklist for the two distinct mixes are made up of the some of the label's 'big hits' and some of DJ T's personal favourites: records that have flown under the radar like Audioclash 'Live And Die' and the Whipped and Turned Mix of Reality Check's 'Fantasy': two fantastic yet perhaps underappreciated records that T has brought back into the limelight.

To make the mix flow seamlessly, T has edited each of the records included from the often tricky to work with originals. 'These old tracks don't really have a mix-friendly intro and outro; they often just fade out or stop abruptly' says T. 'I wanted to make these classics easier to use in contemporary sets.

'To be able to improve a track, so that it becomes interesting and playable for DJs nowadays without changing its essence, that's my motivation.'

Plus sized house hitmaker DJ Sneak has knocked together his second release for Exploited Records, laying down some serious swing on 3 club tracks which are destined to make dance floors sweat this summer, from Ibiza to points beyond. With Sneak's infamous grill and barbecue sessions in mind the "Night Dish EP" is a proper Doner Kebab and Satay Meal after a heavy night out in Berlin. Featuring artwork by Berlin-based street artist Nomad.

Let's Play House is kicking the new year off with its own Times Square ball drop: Francis Inferno Orchestra's three-track solo EP, Hezbolla. The wonky, off-kilter, eccentric package manages to be two disparate and often contradictory things at once: a guaranteed chaotic, debaucherous barn-burner and a deep, heady epic journey.

The title track is just as violent and nasty as its name might imply, but it's underscored by the sort of lightheartedness and good humor that FIO is known for. The first five minutes are a jumble of distorted, fuzzy kicks, toms, and bouncy bongos that all magically coalesce into a euphoria buttressed by bright horn samples, chopped-up vocals, and a groovy bass riff. When it finally sputters out, it's hard to believe all of ten minutes just flew by.

The flip starts with 'Vibrations,' a saccharine, buttery disco-tinged cut that's all glitz and glam, a hypnotizing cocktail of sublime, sparkling melodies and glistening keys. Bookending the 12' is 'Hezbobongo,' a sort of bonus beats rendering of the A1, thrown in to keep the party chugging along and offer DJs some fun toys to fiddle around with in the booth.

Hezbolla will be followed by a second EP on LPH WHITE featuring two remixes of the title track and another original.

Side A - Boom,Boom - Deep swing bassline with a poetic vox that keep the dancers dancing with a old school blues loop, that make you say "boom, boom"!!

Side B - Slow Down - Funky beat, simple chords, EFX that make you move in away to grab a lady so fast you have to slow down to enjoy sounds..

King St goes to the land that spawned Detroit Techno and is joined by Pioneer DJ, Terrence Parker. From doing on-air mixes to hot originals and remixes. He's appeared on global TV, in books, and played at just about every club on Earth. Now on the 20th Mix The Vibe, TP joins other greats and culls a mix of King St tunes, revamping a few.

The one and only Disco Nihilist is 'Moving Forward". Mike Taylor's second EP for Running Back is turning the curve ball of the first into a wild pitch (if Baseball metaphors are your thing). 4 tracks across the Disco Nihilist spectrum: The rare cheerfulness of 'House Rent Boogie' is backed up with a classic and no-nonsense RZ-1 beat symphony that is aptly titled 'Beatdown Drums", while the flip presents the masked mania of 'Film Grain' and some grumpy grittiness with 'Operator Select". Mastered and cut in the US of A by legendary engineer Mark Richardson at Prairie Cat.

Wolf Music present 'Sleep', the debut album from the mighty Medlar.

Following on from last year's 'Terrell' and 'Knockard Pearl', Ned 'Medlar' Pegler has readied a debut LP that compromises 10 tracks of blissed out vibes, moods grooves & house music.

A master of classic keyboard stabs and sultry vocal cuts, the South London-based producer has received support and a remix from Bicep as well as Detroit Swindle.

Undoubtedly influenced by the early house styles of Chicago, Detroit and New Jersey, Medlar's touch is a distinguished one.

Rothmans are back with their 3rd release of 2014 and back in the squad is Brooklyn beat master Aimes. You might remember his substitiute appereance on Rothmans 2 alongside Fairplay & Strunz. The release plays homage to informous French defender Marius Tresor who hard nosed defending earned him a place in Pele's top 100 players of all time. He also made waves off the field with a brief singing carear but we will leave you to research that yourself!!. Back to the release and we find Aimes following on from where Ste Spandex left off with an up tempo trancy, acid belter 'Tunnel Down' . Tracks 2 lowers the tempo a little and feels a little more classic Rothmans with that Nu-Disco/Italo feel too it , a sound that served them so well through Roth 3 - 5. The remix comes in on the B side from the legendary Brassica , and he doesent pull any punches at all, the remix takes all the aspects of the origianl and weaves them into an 8min piece of original music that just keeps on giving! One of the remixes of the year from the London based wizard. Again Rothmans pull it out fo the bag in the last minute and deliver andother stella EP

Francis Inferno Orchestra is a name you may already be familiar with. The relatively young stargazer has been straddling the cosmic yet-invisible line of disco meets house with a string of tight knitted, warm productions across Kolour Recordings, Join the Dots, Under The Shade, Wolf Music, and Voyeurhythm to name a few.

2012 sees Detroit label, KMS Records, celebrating it's 25th Anniversary.

Founded in 1987, by Kevin Maurice Saunderson, his first release was 'Triangle Of Love' produced by, 'Kreem', (just one of his many guises), little did Saunderson know, at that time, that two and a half decades later, he would still be releasing music on his KMS label.

Let's go back to the beginning... Born in Brooklyn in 1964, Saunderson moved to the picturesque Detroit suburb of Belleville, when he was nine, a different world to the urban decay of the city itself.

Saunderson has an enviable dual reputation. To the dance cognoscenti he's one of the 'Belleville Three,' (with Saunderson being the 'Elevator', Juan Aktkins being the 'Originator' and Derrick May being the 'Innovator'), the trio of friends invented Detroit Techno.

The trio met at Belleville High School where, Saunderson befriended Juan Atkins and Derrick May, who introduced him to the eclectic post-disco playlists of Detroit radio DJ Charles 'The Electrifying Mojo' Johnson. ' Johnson played disco, funk, Prince, Parliament/Funkadelic, Kraftwerk, the B52's and Tangerine Dream, to name just a few. Saunderson already had a serious love for music, but he didn't realise he was going to produce music, until then.

In his first year at East Michigan University, where he studied telecommunications, he gave up football to become a DJ himself. He took inspiration from visits to Larry Levan's Paradise Garage in New York and Frankie Knuckles' Warehouse and Music Box in Chicago. Saunderson, Atkins and May, played at campus parties, until setting up their own club in Detroit, the fabled Music Institute.

Of the 'Belleville Three' Atkins was the first to make a record, with electro group Cybotron's 'Alleys of Your Mind' in 1981, then May, with Rhythim is Rhythim's 'Nude Photo' in 1987. Inspired by his friends, Saunderson bought some basic equipment and made his own debut in 1987 with 'Triangle Of Love'. 'I just had a good ear and a good heart for music,' he says. 'Juan Atkins led me into DJing which led me into making extra beats to play in my set. Then I started learning how to play basslines, putting a lot of work in, just elevating it from there'

Undeniably, Saunderson is a gifted producer (going under guises such as Reese, E-Dancer, Tronikhouse and Reese Project), remixer and a tireless international DJ. To lovers of great pop music he's also one third of Inner City, who made regular visits to the Top 20 in the late 80s with jubilant hits like 'Big Fun' and 'Good Life', paving the way for hundreds of underground-to-chart crossover records to come.

On a visit to England in 1988 Saunderson realised that a mythology had built up around the 'Belleville Three'. To his even greater surprise, 'Big Fun' became not just a massive club record but a pop hit. He also helped to revolutionise remixing when he worked on 'We Know It' by Wee Papa Girl Rappers. Over the following decade Saunderson would continue to produce imaginative remixes for the likes of New Order, Pet Shop Boys, The Shamen, Paula Abdul and the Lighthouse Family.

Even whilst travelling the globe, djing or touring with Inner City, Saunderson continued to produce and release not only his own tracks on his KMS label (with tracks such as 'The Sound' by Reese, 'Rock To The Beat' by Reese, 'Truth Of Self Evident' by Reese & Santonio, 'Let's, Let's, Let's, Let's Dance' by Keynotes and 'Colour Of Love' by The Reese Project), but he also released tracks by other up and coming artists, releasing classic underground gems, such as 'Flash' by Fix, 'Can You Feel It' by Chez Damier, 'Soundscape' by Kosmic Messenger, 'Definition Of Love' by Kaos and 'Use Me' by R-Tyme. The list is endless.

Fast forward to 2012 and it's hard to believe that KMS is still releasing records. With such a long history, what better way to celebrate than to release a special CD Boxset. The 'KMS 25th Anniversary Classics' will be released on CD, Digital (and for those vinyl collectors, there will be 6 x 12' Samplers). Each format includes a plethora of gems which have been released on KMS over the last 25 years.

KMS may be celebrating it's 25th Anniversary, but there's no slowing down for Kevin Saunderson. He's still producing, remixing and djing (all over the world). Here's to the next 25 years....

Onur Engin's latest 12" brings four unique & lovingly crafted edits of another carefully picked dusted-off classics. No-digital, vinyl only.

Tight house tracks with spicy basslines reminiscent of old school Chicago groovers. The Healing Company brings S/O/M, a long lost project from southern Germanys legend Sascha Vucko. Three strong and timeless tracks out of a obscure and deep southern dungeon.

Last year Tornado Wallace touched down at the ESP Institute with his Thinking Allowed EP, a slab of wax that proved pivotal in his musical aesthetic, beautifully complimenting our catalogue. He ups the ante further with Circadia, his second 3-track EP that riffs on ESP themes whilst sophisticatedly amplifying their character. The title track lays trance-like arpeggiated vocals over thunderous tropical toms, opening up into an epic group chant. Time of Nectar coasts along, blanketing us with soft pads and soothing pan pipes before Jonny Nash's palm-muted Stratocaster makes its cameo. The essential house jam on the b-side, Soft Light, will no doubt pump its way through dance floors this Summer, don't sleep!
