Mysterious producer Raphael Beneluz, aka Prince de Takicardie, took his pseudonym from the first French anime called “Le Roi et l'oiseau”. In his sound, he constantly tries to discover new facets of techno, filling it with his personality. In just a year, he has released three releases, including the "Matrix Computer Poetry" EP on the German Twig, "A Man's Hurt" EP on the Lumbago from Lyon and "P" on the British Cartulis Music.

Komponente and Kurilo were preparing their debut live and were in search of a new sound, so the record has absorbed many elements from different genres.

A and B sides are completely different, but they are one in the atmospheric flow. Each track has its own idea and purpose for the dance floor, it's up to you to choose. The artwork for the release was created by the designer Dima Phase.

Limited vinyl only 200 copies

Two of the D's finest throw it down with a varied EP ranging from gritty acid to hyped House jams. Mad good.

OMAR S, THE BEST

CRUE1 is the first effort in the very limited vinyl-only series from the brand new 'CRUE' camp. Very limited' in this case, means that only 250 pieces of hand stamped 10'' black gold will invade European and oversee recordshops this summer. CRUE1 is quite in sync with all that traditional house action that has been going over the last year , but really comes to the game 'fresh' with a very hype but recognizable sound by a certain ''Unknown Artist''.
We are sure this one will turn some heads as the music on this exquisite beauty is quite pumping and is definitely providing you with those genuine dance tendencies. Soaked to the brim with fleshy kicks and nervous spacey vocal cuts, CRUE1 is a real dancefloor killer that should never be played pre-peaktime. On both sides of this limited 10'' you'll find one tight analog house jam which is crafted with analog equipment and mastered at one of the worlds most specialized studios in house-music mastering. CRUE1 will be available from late July. Play the music, unsolve the mystery!
As most of the vinyl only releases in this style, the record is sure to be sold out quick. Herefor we advice to contact our distribution manager on short notice to not miss out on this record.

LIMITED EDITION YELLOW VINYL REPRESS X 300

Sublime deep House of the highest order from New Jersey’s very own Kerri “Kaoz 6:23” Chandler.

"The Mood EP" is pure quality from start to finish and is one of Chandler’s lesser spotted releases that is undoubtedly a classic.

Released on the legendary Nervous label in 1998 it still stands head and shoulders above most other releases of the time.

OB is back with two on-point Detroit nailers!

A1 is a deadly downtempo number with distant clinks providing the melody underpinning, accompanied by some beautifully dreamy pads and wobbly 303 line, absolute eyes closed head nodded. A2 continues on the downtempo vibe but with a more electro style, slowly rising drippy acid and spacey vocal effects, despite the tempo it’s proper screw-face material.

B1 is another laid back groove with ethereal pads and sparse, crisp drums. Another track on this twelve that you can completely lose yourself in. B2 rounds up the release in a completely no nonsense, head down hi-res(sonance) 303 and 909 box-clash.

Take a second glance into the mirror for another reflection of yesterday.

Dircsen hits you with 'Mono Operator' with its subtle acid switch ups and haunting melodies coupled with the bounciest of beats and thunderous claps ensues 303 nirvana. Heartfelt.
Scott Hallam offers up the stretchy acid meets dub reggae meets hip hop influenced 'Saturday night drop' Low slung, wigged out Sabresque acidic goodness.

'Slow float' With its groove building capabilities and intricate beat work married with an acid line that unfurls and caresses the mind, body and soul. Winner winner, acid for dinner. Biblical!
Next up totally going for the jugular in a +8 Hawtin kinda style is 'Distorted Reality' 3 am dance floor/club night decimation from this brutally lovely 303 jam. Banger!

Placid

Four tracks of 303 laced Machine funk. Made with soul. Absolutely essential. That aside. That’s really nice Scott. All 4 should keep the acid enthusiasts happy.

Derek Carr

Dircsen - Mono Operator and your Distorted Reality tracks are the pick here - Mono Operator has that deep underlying dirty funk but the Detroit soul, a beautiful combination.
Distorted Reality is like getting hit by a steamroller driven by an acid smiley face.
Wonderful EP.

Al Bradley

That EP is ridiculous haha! Outstanding!
"After being hugely honoured to offer up some acid-house-infused cuts for ROY 001, label boss Scott Hallam brings in the ace Dircsen for four more acid workouts & fuck me, do the two artists deliver! Taking what was introduced on 001 & upping the squelch ante, the flow of acid on these tracks is phenomenal. Ranging from slo-mo deepness, to full-on headfuckery twistedness, this is, to put it mildly, an absolute killer of a release."

Chicago ghetto beatz 4 yo momma. Dance Mafia taking over.

Another gem from the KMS vaults. This time Chez Damier & Ron Trent's 'The Choice' is fully re issued with the original artwork. Limited edition orange vinyl repress.

The Jak has returned witH 2 new Dirty bLends 12 inches (db 004 & db 005) in extremely limited quantity introducing nU cOhorts to the label:

Zodiak (a lowdown henchman)

William Kincaid(a rugged accomplice)

Lex Lathan(a villainous apprentice)

these new artist aliases to the label have contributed to the further effort of maintaining the sound from the early inception of dance tracks like the days of old that still lives and breathes in us today that honors and treasures enriched essential dance music history.

Dirty Blends 4 is Tribalistic Madness * ULtra BaDness*

The Jak kicks the A-Side off with Gravity D-Lyte as the simplistic rhythm of jakbeat moves over a dark expansive tone taking the dancer to the twilight zone.

Zodiak beAts The Final Voice expanding on a forward/backwards blueprint.

The sixth ensemble release is the debut artist EP of Rhythm Mind, a young Leefdaal raised dissident hiding in the Belgian capital.

Repress of seminal Chez Damier & Ron Trent release on KMS.

100% official repress with original artwork. Limited orange vinyl repress.

Originally released back in 1995 the 'Fingerprintz EP' is truly a deep house masterclass. Forget all these records coming out today claiming the 'deep house' title, this is what it's all about right here - on one slab of wax. KC is a legend and at this stage in the game he doesn't need an intro, every single track featured here is an absolute winner, all drenched in that classic Kerri swing and style. Timeless productions. It's hard to pick a favourite as they are all amazing, every possible mood is covered making this whole 4 track EP your new 'always in the bag' staple. From the driving upbeat funk of 'Where is love' to the totally stripped back tribal diva sampling 'I remember' KC has you covered. It may sound cliched, but they simply do not make them like this anymore! Essential, essential business here from one of the true masters of the game. 100% classic.

This is one of a series of official Madhouse / Kerri Chandler reissues for 2017. Every title has been remastered by Kerri Chandler himself, from all original sources and each reissue has been legitimately released in full conjunction with Kerri and Madhouse records.
