The 'B' side features the song 'Where Do You Want Me' with lyrics written, vocals arranged and performed by Kelly Gunn.

Blah Blah Blah turn 5 years old this May and as part of their celebrations they have saved
perhaps their most exciting signing yet for a Ltd WeAre5 Vinyl' release, the prolic genre
juggling Blacksmif.
Blacksmif irts on the edge of reason, taking amboyant percussive and melodic risks within
a bass driven jazz tinged environment, such is the adventurousness of his music that he
has already gathered himself quite a fan club, among which he can count Mixmag, Gilles
Peterson, and Mary Anne Hobbs as leading members.
Opening track Hoop Dreams gently patters into life as a comforting wall of sound builds
beneath crisp percussion and a skittish bassline, its simplicity seductively luring you into its
clutches before it totally immerses you in a unfolding mix of shifting melodies, competing
vocal snippets and percussion that comes at you from every angle. Microweight follows a
similarly weaving journey of evolution as layers ebb and ow between triumph and
thoughtful contemplation.
With his rst single Mandy' coming 5th in Mixmags Big Tunes in April and with shows lined
up at Glade, Dimensions and a supporting slot with Julio Bashmore, Blacksmif is set for an
enthralling 2012.

The collective keeps it rolling with a new release featuring Chicago and New York artist as a united front to destroy dance-floors through house and techno tunes. Advancing through the ranks of the underground with 4 unique tunes that are quite deep and worth a check: featuring... G. Marcell, Dakini9, Kuru aka DJ Spider, and Hakim Murphy.

G Vinyl puts out its debut release by its operator Steve Albert (Gyle). Hailing from G Block in the "Hardware City," this hot slab of wax is a melting plate of deep sub rubs and inviting percussion sequences. The "Additional Dialogue EP" serves up 4 thick tracks of chunky tech-house grooves for listeners, dancers, and disk jockey sluts. Fat Chicago inspired jack house.

Being the hopeless romantics we are here at Circus Company, when we fall for an artist we tend to do it head over heels. You may have witnessed this in the past with some of our dearest protégés, from Dave Aju to Nicolas Jaar. Now we are embarking on the same kind of whirlwind affair with Franck Roger, the glow only just retreating from our cheeks after he won our hearts with the 'I Take You Up' EP.

Like a well-seasoned casanova, Franck has found the perfect way to follow up that first date with an even deeper reflection of himself as an artist, leaving us flustered and quite simply stunned by his charm. Now we wait with anticipation as he whispers in our ears about a forthcoming album for Circus Company, all the while ensuring we stay hooked with this nugget of promise for what the future may hold.

As ever with Franck, house music purity lies at the heart of his creation, and the two tracks on this new EP are a continuation of that theme, but it never ceases to amaze how one man can conjure up so much passion and intrigue with such a simple, unfussy approach to production.

From the seductive tendrils of the bass line in 'Spread Love' to the impossibly alluring DX7 organ stabs on 'Black Kiss', the lack of pretention in the music will hold your brain and feet captive until you're as smitten as we are. With roses in hand and a wicked glint in his eye, the modern house romancer is here to pick you up for the night. Tell your parents, 'don't wait up'...

Genuine warehouse find - check the dusty coloured shrink wrapping for proof!* Released way back in 1989 on the tiny Real House Records imprint, Reggie R's Out Of Control EP is a bomb filled example of the sound of the late 80s American underground, tapping through nascent elements of Chicago House and Detroit techno as well as a dash of hip house! Check both the Bizzy B and Reggie R mixes of the Was Not Was sampling "Out Of Control" for mind warping acid tunes built on the Juno 106, while tracks like "Reggie R" evoke the spirit of Motor City Soul with aplomb. "Tonight's The Night" deftly samples Laid Back, while the rest of this EP shows a carefree approach sorely absent from so much po faced contemporary music.

After a string of successful collaborations and remixes - including an ace one one of ours, Nicolas Jaar's 'Space Is Only Noise', we are delighted to present Dave Aju's sophomore album, Heirlooms.
It's always exciting to hear new music from Mr. Aju, as he consistently offers a fresh approach to the usual dance music formulas with an undeniable sense of soul and singular artistry. This is especially true on his new album, where Aju has really outdone himself with his most diverse, expressive, and personal work to date. Crafted with vintage recordings and instruments inherited from his late father, Aju taps into his roots and musical background more than ever on Heirlooms, taking us on a ten-song journey through past and present influences and a variety of moods, from proper heartfelt tributes to spaced-out bliss and straight-up funk.

Texas-born Bryce Isbell, extracts minutiae w/precision; his tracks are saturated w/details & composite micro-samples are infinitesimal. His crisp, percussive arrangements are soaked in deepness, & are surprisingly emotive. 4 tracks, pic sleeve.

2 highly repsected producers/DJs. Why have you not heard of them Because they are using stealth alias names to allow them to put out this exclusive white label series. But trust me, you know who they are!

This is the second in the Rogue Edit series.

Another white for the collection.

'Galactic Alignment' is the new single by the elusive Jump 'Chico' Slamm, whose otherwise sparse catalogue includes the classic 'Slamm Project' which got released on Cajual in 1993 and features the legendary track 'Feel Free'. Another notable song in his catalogue is 'Fuk Dat', another 1993 recording (under his Sagat moniker), which became a worldwide club and radio hit.
While working on a reissue of aforementioned 'Feel Free', an unreleased recording came to light which immediately lit our fire. 'Galactic Alignment' was just too good to remain in the vaults, so it
got dusted off and readied for release. Although this jewel has been lying dormant for some years, it sounds very current. Better yet, it
has a timeless feel and has the unique appeal to take dance floors both intimate and extravagant. Another essential from the mind of Mr. Slamm!

Kid Sublime rolls back in on an X-Large house tip...TIP!

4th Vinyl on Strobelight Honey !! Nice !

oh yes, Steve Pickton pops up again.. this time on Delsin! The man is kind of a legend in the UK electronics scene in his various guises - putting out greatness on Peacefrog, B12, Pure Plastic, Mo Wax, Clear, Soul Jazz, Smallfish etc etc etc! Here he is under his deep Detroit vibed 223 moniker.. ending the EP to a heartfelt ode to ESSEX! TIP!

The latest offering from Jacques Renault and Marcos Cabral's On the Prowl features the work of Evan Stalker, a Los Angeleno who's a visual artist by day and a production wiz by night. The four songs included on this 12' are meticulously-layered, lusciously-arranged deep house jams of the highest quality.
The record kicks off with 'Parkway,' the chillest of the package. It's an easy, swinging tune that ebbs and flows like the Pacific during high tide with jittery synth ditties dancing off the atmospheric washes.
The A2 is Runaway's remix, and while they leave the original structure mostly intact, they add some oomph to the bass kicks and distort the melodies, fuzzing and glitching them out to yield a more hard-edged final product.
The flip's first tune, 'Downtown,' is, as the name implies, of a more urban nature, and definitely intended for a late-night warehouse rager. Anxiously, the song pushes ahead with an aggressive, pumping bass line and frantic, sharp synth chords, assertive handclaps, and a hi-hat that's got plenty of swagger.

Three killer tracks by Mr.Tophat, Art Alfie, Adam Stromstedt on their own Junk Yard Connections label. Openings track is straight away a huge track that will make them bounce like crazy. Bakey Usti the swedisch way. Great fresh approach by these young producers. Vinyl only affair!

The wind up of Phillip Lauer's album debut 'Phillips' (still available in all formats including gatefold double vinyl) is in the hands of NYC remix/production outfit Runaway and Versatile's very own I:Cube. Runaway do their best to turn 'Tentatious' into one of those early morning deep house dubs that you could find on the b-side on vintage designer labels of their hometown. Music for baby powdered wooden floors. I:Cube does the opposite and manufactures a bumper car boogie beat that also works as a UK rave dub. He likes to move it. On the flip, Lauer himself turns in the hidden album track 'Boringtone' - his very own secret ode to the Café del Mar - and the super exclusive smashing pumpkin that is 'Highdimes". 100% Overground melodies

After a busy 2011, Nicholas slowed down the pace of production in 2012. Here the Italian producer returns with a new single for 4lux and what a banger it is! Title track Life Goes On is a great club tune with uplifting bass, beats, rhodes and cut up vocal bits. NY Stomp comes with a killer remix in the vein of the famous NY House Trak: hard hitting old school beats and tough groove. On the flip two deeper but equally good nuggets in All I Can Give and Messed Up Generation. Some of Nicholas' best work to date!
