NYC's legendary West End record label has contributed a fair few classics to the disco cannon and continues to influence dance music today with it's forward looking releases. 'When you touch me' is no exception, recorded and released in the golden year of 1979 and featuring the breathy, sensual vocals of a young Tanaa Gardner who had previously worked as a backing vocalist for numerous other projects until the label released her (other) stone cold solo classic 'Work that body' the same year on 12".
Both cuts featured on her self titled debut LP and boasted the combined production and studio talents of Kenton Nix, Bob Blank and of course - Larry Levan. Now, that's a serious line-up to have behind the boards (& in the clubs!) and of course 'When you touch me' was a classic with it's slow, elongated intro that calls to mind a sleazier version of Donna Summer's 'Love hangover' before launching into a full-on disco assault that you won't forget in a hurry! Yes, the record surprises you, Tanaa leads us into a false sense of a 'slow jam' and then - Boom - We're off!
Backed with the incredible instrumental version the 12" is repressed here in it's original 1979 glory, an essential classic that has stood the test of time for the last 30+ years & is now available again, remastered & repressed for 2017 in conjunction with West End Records, NYC.

Rick Wilhite delivers this super strong collection of tracks made by producers coming from either New York, Chicago or Detroit. This is part 1 in a 2 volume album.
As a DJ and promoter Wilhite has been holding it down for over twenty years, and his 'Vibes New & Rare music' record store has been a main source in Detroit for soulful electronic music until its closure. The 'Vibes New & Rare music' compilation only features material that Rick Wilhite truly believes to represent the artists. After releasing Part 1 in 2010, Wilhite now delivers the sequel, featuring pioneers and new talents alike from New York, Chicago and Detroit.

Previously released on a different record label digitally (Upon You), Make Space In Your Life is presented here for the first time on vinyl. Similarly, In Between, which was also previously released digitally (Sporty Limited), has been given a new rework for the vinyl lovers. To top off the package, an exclusive new track "From The Vaults" has been freshly baked by the French producer, based in Berlin. Bloody Mary takes us back to our old 90's rave days with the rework of her tune In Between, with a well pronounced touch of Trance in its pads, well driven by a heavy acid bass line for the whole song and Mary's voice sprinkled over it. Heading to the B-side, From The Vaults takes the listener through a journey into sequenced synth, with a melody that brings lightness to a sharp bass line, supported by a bumpy rhythm.
Bloody Mary closes this EP with class on Make Space in Your Life, delivering a deep but powerful song that shows a hint of melancholy in its pads and Mary's vocals floating on the top. A well rounded three track EP from the Dame-Music chief that is sure to be heard on many dancefloors all around the world.

Next up on Titanic city, needs no introduction, Nigel Rogers AKA Perseus Traxx has been a staple part on most record bags, a man dedicated to performance outside the box, has produced one of the greatest releases we will surely drop all year.
Some kind comments in our direction had to surly be returned with a request for a release and did he deliver. Nigel's first question was "what do you like" "well we love your M>O>S, Bunker, Photic Fields, Snuff Trax. material," he returned with a little bit of all. I'm not gonna give the whole soaring pads, scraping percussive smears or the frenzied synth lines. This is Perseus Traxx he always delivers!!
There's a rough and raw DIY feel to this music that makes it jump out of the speakers and arrest your attention, as is always the case with Titanic City.

Who is DJ Fett Birger It's DJ Fett Burger, stupid. Geography Records straight outta Malmö, Sverige has awoken.

Our fat friend from Moss, Norge takes some parts from Shakarchi & Stranéus eternal 2013 hit single 'Either Way' (GEO 005) and turns it into a dreamy cheese-pop track ready for full, half-full and really empty dance floors. On the flip side the Burg' teams up with underground Finnish talent Stiletti Ana for a literal take on the SNL quote 'more cowbell'. Please play it loud. For the third side of this single record release, Burga' Fett flangs it out with a US style bonus beats, strictly for the DJs! With this, you can play our record with an even nicer record on top! Also perfect for shout outs, birthday wishes during sets or when you're just really tired of melody and bass.

''Femman EP' ('The Five EP' in english) marks the return of our favorite artists ever, Daniel Stranéus & Faik Shakarchi, to Geography Records. We all remember Geography 001

Classic GLENN UNDERGROUND making the MPC sing. A must have for fans. GLENN is more than a DJ, he's a very talented
musician and this 12" showcases some of his subtle and wonderfully layered production.

Now part of the family for more than a year, TvFrom86 aka Thomas Zander is releasing his 1st solo EP on the imprint. Tvfrom86 did a brilliant debut on Roche Musique with the single 'Loosing you' including the very good electro funk song 'Brooklyn Business'.

Keeping the good work and the talent for sampling, TvFrom86 explored the funk with dexterity and exactness in Purple People adding just what the sample needed to sublimate it and make it as powerful as it deserves to be. Creative Swing Alliance, side project of the talented label manager for MCDE, Pablo Valentino, and Steven Wobblejay, gave their own interpretation with and heavier bass and no less efficiency.

S3A was invited on the project for the rework of Flying Piano, the third original of the release. The French producer, very proactive at the moment with releases on Lazare Hoche, Hold Youth, Faces, Large Musique and more, definitely didn't steel his nickname. S3A Is telling us three stories in one with a rough analogic sound for an impressive result.

Efficient DJ tool, perfect to turn a dance floor into a mess, By all means combines great rhythmic, samples and voices around a bass guitar for the last original of this French touch record.

Limited Edition Hand Stamped 12' Vinyl - Some say techno's 4/4 owes its powerful majesty to our human heartbeat and its constant, uninterrupted pulse. - Some say the most magnificent and memorable dark skies on earth can be seen in Sweden, known as the Northern Lights: they may vary its shape, colour and intensity through time, but its presence in our imaginary stays untouched and seems always ready to captivate us again.As true techno lovers, our vinyl only constellation welcomes swedish legendary artist Samuel L. Session: in RC we've always referred to Samuel's figure as the Aurora Borealis of techno: timeless, always evolving and majestic. 'In the dark' plays 3 engaging, pushing and beat leading tracks: our most reliable 4/4 beat reference for those who enjoy getting lost dancing in the dark but don't want to lose the North.

After making a great impression with its first EP, Giant Records serves up a second hot helping of house music from boss man Grant Dell, complete with fresh remixes by Scottish techno stalwarts Silicone Soul.
Dell, also known as Chicago Transit Authority, has been doing his do for 25 years now. As a DJ he is at home in clubs in Ibiza and Barcelona as well as around the rest of Europe, and is someone who always prefers to push his own brand of widely infused and influenced music than his own profile.
Once again here he comes up trumps with the emotive, glowing house cut 'In Your Mind'. With a neat bassline and mid tempo house drums, subtle but effective synth smears add warmth and colour to the groove, whilst soul fuelled vocals add a real sense of personality. This is sure to get people grooving at any hour and comes with Grant's own Space Echo remix. As the title suggests it's a more dubby and reverb rich affair with cosmic signifiers and sci-fi vibes pervading from start to finish.
Silicone Soul need little introduction having been at the heart of real deep house and techno for decades on the Soma label. Their first remix is a Darkroom Dub - named after their own label - and is a seductively slo-mo and lazily unfolding house cut with languid synths that really suck you in. Their lush Hypnohouse Mix is then a twinkling, late night bit of melodically rich deep house with starry skies twinkling above sombre chords.
This is a patiently served but hugely alluring EP that is stuffed with plenty of tender feeling. One again then, both Grant and Giant have come up with the goods.

Releasing an album is a daunting task, especially in dance music.
You got to keep it fresh and exciting from the very beginning until the last track, not sticking to one tempo, make tracks that work both at home and in the club and ultimately tell a story with your music.

Alexander Lay-Far knows a thing or two about this, having his debut album 'So Many Ways' out back in 2013. The thing with Lay-Far and a big reason why we've always had a soft spot for him is his way of incorporating a certain magic in the tracks that leaves you on an uplifting and optimistic note. Therefore we're really excited to release his second album, How I Communicate, on Local Talk.

How I Communicate is a two part vinyl release which we hope will come as a fresh breeze in these days where so much dance music simply lacks the actual musical aspect or the organic approach.
Like most producers and DJs that are influenced by soul, disco, jazz and the blacker side of electronic dance music its all about the actual 'tune'.
Listening (or dancing) through this album we hope you'll find your special tune (or tunes!) that hopefully will bring joy to your ears.

To his aid Lay-Far has invited an impressive cast of collaborators such as Ashley Beedle & Darren Morris, Restless Soul, Sean McCabe & Mark De Clive-Lowe to give the tracks that little extra something under the watchful eye of Lay-Far himself.

Or as Lay-Far describes it himself 'The album is about the music as the universal language, the ultimate means of communication, bringing people of the world together.'
Part 2 will be released in the new year...

Bucketround presents the eighth EP written and produced by Manuel Costela, 3 tracks and the remix of Tominori Hosoya (Japan) inspired by Japanese Middle Ages, when mythological monsters wake up from the Deep.

"Omibozu (Original version)" is a trip of rhythms and percussion in the middle of a survival battle in the purest sound of American deep house style. "When Craken Show Up" provides us with a delicious fragrance and textures from the reefs, mixing feelings with the voice of the composer. "Omibozu remix" is the powerful touch of Tominori Hosoya "Tomi Chair" (HQ Pressing-Japan) and the dance floor face of the monster directly from Pacific ocean. "Tentacles Of The Deep" is the relaxing movement of the EP, from the caves of the darkness and naughty voices of Andrea Rocha to enter the depths mixed with Manuel Costela's piano.

Quality Vibe Records present second record on the white cat. from a new great talent called St. David with 4 House/Acid tracks, you cant miss it in your bag!
Vinyl Only hand numbered 300 copies!

Debut EP from In Any Case co-founder, after several appearances on various artists. It was time for him to express himself on a full EP. True gear digger and scientist of the dusty beats, G2S delivers a very nice 5 track EP including two astonishing hip hop beats for opening and closing.
