Rowdy, sexy, voyeuristic: this is Harry Bennett's world of sizzling neo-Chicago house music. Sounds that set bodies in motion, sounds that put parties in heat. Featuring a crack team of artists, the Body Remixes collects a dazzling menagerie of tracks that transform Harry's classic house DNA into whole new beasts. Harry's classic-meets-future sound came to full bloom on last year's vinyl-only Ponytail 12, earning accolades from DJs on both sides of the Atlantic as surefire party smashers. The Body Remixes prove the beautiful versatility of Harry's style: no matter the mood or the dancefloor, the strong musky scent of Harry's sexed-up 21st century house still leads the way. Berlin's own deep house jock Till Von Sein takes Ponytail to a seedy Kreuzberg back room, whipping it into a spine-tingling, deep drug-den frenzy, where the lights have gone out, except a single naked bulb against a bare wall, half-bare bodies twisting in the black. The one and only DJ Nature turns Body Language into a house-party jam that's downtempo yet hip-shaking, laidback soulful boat party music that's perfect for warm-ups, afternoons or after-hours. LA-Based SONNS overhauls Ponytail with a SoCal lowrider bounce born of Latin-inflected syncopated grooves, working the cowbell, flinging twisted jabby keys and reveling in hands in the air joy. Lastly Jack my Body gets hit by an acid bomb, detonating a cloud of noisy analog madness across the sky that can only come from Chicago's veteran DJ Traxx. This release is vinyl-only.

Paper Disco are back on vinyl ahead of their forthcoming Trash The Wax Vol. 2 and two totally exclusive tracks. Leon Sweet launches things with Sunny Bigler that has a Moroder style bass and plaintive male vocal designed to make grown men cry on dance floors. Italian master blaster shares the same side rocking his trademark edit chops with Games whch will only be seeing the light of day on this wax.

Turn it over and Yam Who makes an appearance with Natasha Watts and Paper tea boy Chris Massey on remix duties. It's floor heavy 4/4 disco with modern production and dynamics that will slot in to any discerning box. The second exclusive comes from Oslo young bucks De Fantastiske To who offer up a more house take on disco. Gimme Sum Dim Sum has a shuffling backbeat, lush keys and chords to give it an organic garage feel that tips a wink to the best that New York has to offer.

Not content with a rich and flawless back catalogue of releases under a plethora of monikers such as Dabrye, JTC and Charles Manier spanning multiple genres on a wide variety of labels such as Ghostly International, Rephlex amongst many others, and a career spanning 15 years, 2014 seemed like the right time to make plans to create an imprint with the aim of releasing the the rich flood of music that flows forth from Tadd Mullinix's Ann Arbor studio. Those plans have come to fruition and the first release this year is a 3 track 12' from JTC.

Brings the Discovery parties' blurring of techno, house, & disco to wax, as Chicago producer drops "Compton"s hypnotic vocals & "Olso"s dueling arps & spacey percussion. Remixes by Glasgow's OOFT! & Berlin's Nils Penner.

The second instalment from the ensemble imprint offers four tracks courtesy of Belgian house ambassadors, Gratts and Xan Xoda, under their cheeky 'De Ambassade' guise.

On A1, Belgian ambassadors in Berlin Xan Xoda and Gratts treat us to some delicious 'Gebakken Lucht', a Belgian expression that you'd have to look up yourself.

Next up is Raw Sketches aka. Eklektiker, one of Belgium's finest DJs and a resident of the ensemble nights. His analogue workout 'Intiem' pushes all the right buttons and charmed us straight away when we first heard it.

Our favourite Australian poster boy of house music Ben Sun then gives a fresh perspective on 'Gebakken Lucht'.

And finally the great Sisterhood lads from London round off the EP with their rework of 'Intiem', turning it into a trip into space, where bass is the place!

Supplement Facts get set to release a killer package from prolific Israeli producer and long-time collaborator, Chaim. The latest, superlative 'We Are' EP is a three-tiered dancefloor odyssey with the stylistic range to last from dusk until dawn.
A-side 'We Are' feat. Meital Derazone will immediately hook the crowd with a moody bass riff and dark echoing vox, slowly building into a hypnotic synth driven peak time voyage with an epic feel.
Flip over to the B-side and 'Orion Skies' is a more understated affair lifted with floaty atmospherics as disembodied vocals whisper over the analogue groove and fluid pads and creeping chords permeate the spacey arpeggiated synths. Final track 'Social Assassin' has a more unhinged edge with deranged vocal clips, a tough percussive groove, trippy echoing FX and propulsive bass. Ascending organ chords lead to a dramatic bassline drop sure to destroy the dancefloor.
Long-time friend and compatriot to Guy Gerber and the Supplement Facts label, fellow Tel-Aviv export Chaim is another of the country's most prolific electronic artists. Having collaborated with Guy on a number of releases and also becoming part of the prestigious cannon at BPitch Control, this EP for Supplement Facts will be the latest in an over-flowing catalogue of heavyweight club records.

Versatile producer Nikola Gala gets set to release monster club track 'Only' on the prestigious Rekids imprint. A cut of driving, razer sharp techno, the rib-rattling bass and Detroit-esque synths will no doubt slay the most discerning dancefloors. Throw in a Ryan Elliott remix and you have yourselves an essential package.
Perfectly striking a balance between no-nonsense techno and high-octane house, original track 'Only' breathes a unique energy through earth shaking bass and powerful drums with rhythmic vocal snippets and vibrant synth stabs. The analogue textures building into an even bigger, vigorous drum groove, the vocal punctuates the tough framework with a lighter feminine touch. A classy banger, 'Only' is sure to keep the crowd in its grip from start to finish.
The now Berlin based Detroit legend Ryan Elliott steps up for remix duty, dispensing a provocative builder with a deep, hypnotic quality, shimmering shakers and deep pools of atmosphere. An internationally renowned DJ, remixer and one half of Spectral Sound's A & R team, Ryan brings his undisputed world-class style to this Rekids release, teasing out the essence out of 'Only', stripping it back even further and bringing the dancefloor to its knees.
Part of the exciting wave of Greek talents coming up in house and techno over the last decade, Nikola Gala is a prolific producer who has delivered his diverse sounds on an array of the undergrounds most discerning labels, including Ibadan Records, Freerange, Plastic City and of course Rekids, a label to which he's very proud to be attached. Inspired by the scene's many different levels and continually evolving as an artist, Nikola has been producing since 1995 and DJing since 2000. Now residing in Berlin, the city has had an impact on his sound but the ethos of Nikola's work remains the same: energetic music with an uplifting character and 'Only' on Rekids certainly hits the spot.

As a follow up to the massive release of Osunlade's Camera Shy Remix package, we offer you the second single taken from the album A Man With No Past Originating The Future. In this series we bring forth the helping hands of classic co -founder and all around groove master, Luke Solomon. Pulsating rhythms coupled with dubbed out basslines and stabs merge percussive nuances alongside vocal clips perfectly. To add a more diverse appeal to this release we also hired the man himself, Isolee who delivers a nice upbeat tinged version, a bit more mellow yet intense in its own right. The third offering for this package comes from long time friend and musical brother Atjazz. With his signature sound he brings undeniable soul to the bunch while keeping the song's integrity in tact. We complete our journey with Yoruba's own Rafael Moraes, one third of Nomumbah. Deep is the word for this one. Mallets meet square toned bass while percussions dive perfectly alongside Osunlade's vocal arrangements. We hope you enjoy this release as much as we have curating its material.
