Give the Lord a handclap for he keeps blessing us with such great talent... New Amsterdam producer making err...waves!
After Simon Weiss debuted on Rush Hour with his 'Amsterdam Wave' track on the -Amsterdam All-
Stars' compilation at the tail-end of 2011, he now returns with his first solo EP for the label. And what a first solo release this is. He literally has up bouncing up and down at the office for weeks with this four tracker. With his 'Wave EP' Simon delivers a tasteful and fun package. Four house tracks that ride the thin line between retro and current, without trying to sound like either one. Conclusion, this young buck has arrived and brings along his signature sound.

It's been a long time coming but House Sound is back with its fourth release. Nicholas' label brings together five emerging talents for a huge 12 release. Mat Chiavaroli and Massimo Di Lina take care of the A side with two low down deep house grooves. The B-side is a funky affair with tracks from Jordan Peak, Bubbin' Dub and Yuri Shulgin. Absolute killer!

For our 5th release on secretsundaze we are very happy to welcome back Jamie Taylor, more commonly known as Flori to the fold. Of course some may have already heard Secretsundaze 003: 'Shelter', a charming track Flori wrote with sometime partner and friend Ethyl, both regular guests playing at secretsundaze from our 10th Birthday Party in London to Sonar, that came complete with a more technoey Rolando remix. Well he's back already, this time flying solo with the 'Lucy' 12".

ON THE FIRST RELEASE WE PROUDLY PRESENT LABELOWNERS FLORIAN SETTELE & MARC PHILIPP AKA JACUZZI BOYS IN
COLLABORATION WITH AMSTERDAMS SAN PROPER ( PERLON, RUSH HOUR, DEKMANTEL, M>O>S, RATIO MUSIC..)!

Following on from the massively popular 'Philadelphia International: The Re-Edits' package, here is the 2nd release in our special 'Philly 40' campaign which is celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Philadelphia International Records. Welcome to the hugely anticipated 'Philadelphia International Classics: The Tom Moulton Remixes'.

Tom Moulton's involvement with Philadelphia International spans the entire 40 years of their existence with many of his early mixes unaccredited in the era before the 12' Disco Disc. In 1977 PIR released the ground-breaking historic original double LP 'Philadelphia Classics' which featured 8 ofTom Moulton's greatest PIR mixes. The album has subsequently been reissued several times and is rightly hailed as a 'must have' classic for ANY serious music lovers' collection.

'In the beginning there was Jack and Jack had a groove, and from this groove came the groove of all grooves... And house music was born. House is an uncontrollable desire to jack your body. And in this house the keeper is Jack.' Until he met Heidi. Last year queen of jack Heidi flashed the world with her Jackathon compilation. Now Get Physical present three killer remixes from the compilation at the hands of key game players Deniz Kurtel, Richy Ahmed and Eats Everything. Wolf + Lamb home girl Deniz Kurtel is one of the most talented and respected producers in the industry. Honing her skills with the same dexterous elegance showcased in her LED sculptures, the Deniz Kurtel sound can be experienced across many shades in the spectrum of house. Here she adds her own spin to Solomun's 'What the Funk' with a bouncing bassline and jacking beat. Hot Natured star Richy Ahmed provides his smooth twist on Mathias Kaden's original 'Jackathon'. Not too much, not too little, it's just right. At the forefront of the new breed of British DJs redefining house through inspirations of funk and disco, Richy has spent the past few years taking his unique sound to the best parties in the world including Burning Man, DEMF, Glastonbury and Sonar. 'Whiff It Yawl' by Jamie Jones is taken into the hands of Bristol's finest Eats Everything. Adding space too it, an airy mix of sound reverb adds ambience and energy, while the track slowly reveals itself and the powerful kick drops with full force. This peak time bomb is assured to destroy any dancefloor it hits! A female dance music icon, Heidi is often the unsung hero of her tribe. Hers is one of the only mainstream radio shows consistently championing the sounds of the current house and techno underground movement and a big part of that is reviving the music of

The third man to take the baton in Delsin's new house aligned sub-series is Helsinki's Trevor Deep Jr. The man himself states his sound is "somewhere between Detroit deepness, classic Chicago house and the moody soundscapes of Helsinki, something backed up by the three new tracks offered here.

Sasha's ever growing label Last Night On Earth presents the first in a series of releases from Electronic wizards Ghosting Season.

The growth of Ghosting Season came naturally from their previous project worriedaboutsatan, in their own words: "Our work was still a network of dark, brooding - yet euphoric - electronica, but there began to appear towering, vibrant, and inescapable moments of dance music. The sound was expanding beyond the identity of worriedaboutsatan."

Hailing from Manchester the duo deliver their first single 'A Muffled Sound Of Voices', featuring the vocal talent of Knox. A superb orchestration of music put together in a way these guys do best, this is pure electronic music at it's finest.

The package includes a range of standout remixes from recognised and upcoming talent across the globe. First of which from Luke Abbott, who in the past has heavily featured on James Holden's Border Community label. Panorama Bar regular Ed Davenport provides his mix, well suited to the Berlin sound where he now resides. Bubba - with recent releases on Hot Creations, steps up to deliver his mix and London's Jack Dixon changes it up with a groovy tech-house number. Newcomer Jamie Funk rounds off the package nicely, with previous releases on Vitalik and 1Trax he adds his flavour to the original, a great deep house re-work.

Roundabout Sounds is back in 2012 with a project that was over a year in the making. 'The Power EP' is a tribute to the late Aaron-Carl that contains the last track he made before he left us. As a result, we gathered a handful of supporting artists to put together this double-vinyl (only) project. Rest in peace Aaron-Carl and thank you for the memories!

Time to welcome Ben Sun to D.O.G with his incredible Love Momentum EP containing three tracks of the raw stuff to groove to. Some may know Ben Sun from his previous releases on the brilliant Voyeurhythm label, his own vinyl-only imprint distributed by Clone which was established in 2009. Others might have his remixes of Reggie Dokes on Royal Oak or Deep Space Orchestra on Boogie Originals. Whatever, this man is making serious waves right now and adds yet another feather in the collective cap of young Antipodean producers making underground house music with their own unique and authentic approach.
You Should Know Better kicks off in fine style bringing the thump and the funk with a doff of the cap to the Moody one in this ten minute excursion into sampled basslines and cut-up beats. Nagging strings and filtering horn sample increase the tension, interspersing the vocal clips perfectly and driving the track to the midpoint breakdown where the rousing speech pushes the energy levels further still. The second part of the track introduces the soloing rhodes hook which loops up and builds slowly before letting loose in an all out jazz jam bringing things to a suitably funked-up conclusion.
Flip over for the slightly straighter classic house bounce of Yesterlife, all splashing 909 hats, pads that Mr Heard himself would approve of and a warm bassline bringing the boom to the track. We can't get enough of the raw energy Ben's got running through this one.
Finally, we have the epic beauty of Love Hotel to get your teeth sunk into. Once again, the production is completely on point, sounding sweet, deep and musical but staying raw and gritty. This one features NYC's finest exponent of slo-mo, sultry house Slow Hands so that should give you an idea of the quality we're talking about here

For Greece's Echovolt Records sixth outing Entro Senestre offers four slamming neo-underground dance tracks. After his superb first e.p on New York label WT Records this promising newcomer weaves his own thread of melodic techno, Chicago and deep house tailoring a fine sophomore release.

With summer and the Olympics swiftly approaching, athleticism and sport are the number one retail trends right now. It's therefore the perfect time to add the latest addition of Running Trax from Ministry of Sound to your fitness schedule. This series has sold over 400,000 copies and Running Trax Summer 2012 is the best to date, featuring over 60 of the hottest dance hits to work out to.

The Lisa Marie Experience 2007 Remix

Following the Jordan Peak EP theres more pumping action on Morris Audio with its 80th release! Young french producer Julien Sandre makes his full
release debut on Morris Audio great beats and sexy basslines are the key elements of the hypnotic JS sound. And the remix of Nico Lahs (Ovum,
Pokerflat) reminds us of some of these old killer Svek releases. Yeah, music wont stop!

Next up on Good Ratio Music is Baldo, an artist who spent the past few months working in the
back of this label getting prepared to release the third chapter in his own imprint. Spies & Lies is the name
of his work which follows some brilliant remixes and tracks he did lately in labels like Stranjjur and
Elevation Recordings.

When Dynamodyse made his debut on WPH back in 2009 he struck a chord (pun intended) with lovers of emotional deep house worldwide. Hailing from Dortmund, Mathias 'Matze' Schmitt is a special character that immediately fit the bunch of WPH nutters, so it was only a matter of time before he would be back with a second release. Which incidentally will be his second release ever, which goes to show how much he trusts WPH and how much WPH trusts Dynamodyse.

Its strange to think that it was only 2010 that saw the first records from Christophe
Manik, aka M A N I K. Since exploding onto the scene with his debut Ovum releas
he has gone on to develop and strengthen his own sounds & styles. Never
pigeonholed, the young New Yorker has confidently and creatively placed his mus
on a variety of the hottest labels of today, whilst always managing to maintain his
own unique identity.

Nil, which translates to zero, was designed precisely with the idea in mind; the idea, in which, everything is given life from nothing. This absolute nothingness allows us to create our most beautiful ideas. Nil knows no boundaries and hopes to create beauty from every corner where nothing exists. With unlimited possibilities, Nil hopes to bring to you quality electronic music of all shapes, sizes, and tones.
Nil goes across the Atlantic and into the heart of Romania, where
Marsomatic700 takes the helm for their first release and brings to you their
debut ep, Ce Zici.

Luke Solomon is a survivor. Starting out in the early '90s, he's still going strong, with a classic label, an enormous chart hit and plenty of memories behind him. He's connected to some of the most respected names in UK house—Justin Harris, Rob Mello, Kenny Hawkes. And the US too. Classic, the label he started with Derrick Carter, hardly needs an introduction: It was among the best underground house imprints of the late '90s and early '00s, and one of the most idiosyncratic, reflecting Solomon and Carter's wide-ranging tastes perfectly. Solomon, in particular, has always surprised, whether it be via his Freaks collaboration with Justin Harris or his solo work for Rekids.

Cómeme means a body that gives itself away. Everynow and then worldwide heralds of the loony beats, ritmo lunatics and self-styled electronic primitives join in for a nightlife fiction to become reality. This collective fantasy, utterly devoted to the dark side of the mirror ball, keeps a certain wanderlust. So, if you happen to have your globe at hand, let´s twist the ball around and spotlight the places of Cómeme, episode 15.
