FIRST TIME OFFICIAL REISSUE 30 YEARS AFTER THE ORIGINAL 1992 RELEASE

Our man Nathan Melja kicks off his own parodia with 4 anthems feat. no less than Flørist

Wonderland is a blissful sonic universe created between Nathan Melja & Flørist. Due out June 1st, 2021 on 12” and digital via Parodia, a new label launched by Nathan Melja for creative output of his own as well as likeminded artists.

Nathan Melja, known for his releases on Antinote, Mister Saturday Night and Technicolor, as well as Kalahari Oyster Cult which saw his epic track ‘Synesthesia’ that went on to be remixed by Pariah and Anthony Naples while being rinsed by the likes of Ben UFO, Evan Baggs and Jane Fitz. Always translating sound into a wide spectrum of colours, Nathan’s signature sound has evolved over the years into a precise craft.

Flørist is hot on the heels of a stretch of highly acclaimed EPs on Trilogy Tapes, Pavilion and most recently Baroque Sunburst, constantly exploring the BPM grid, he is known to leave you wondering which way is up. Together their sensory spheres collide for a unique record which details two solo original tracks as well as two different versions of their collaborative track Wonderland, made with not only the DJ but the listener in mind.

Nathan Melja’s ‘Back and Forth’ is an updated ode to the Bleep and Bass eras, while his version of Wonderland is a colourful trip full of bright melodies. Flørist’s ‘Fade 2 Pink’ expresses the artist deeper side, exploring rhythmic boundaries. His interpretation of Wonderland hits hard with its deep and psychedelic vibrations, slipping directly into any after hours playlist.

Welcome to Wonderland.

S.O.N.S is back with the last instalment of the "T.O.K.Y.O" series. This time it is a double 12" called Shin-Okubo One Night Stand. This record is made to be played using a turntable at home, at your friend's birthday party or at your uncle's wedding. Club use is possible too but no refund will be granted if you clear the floor.

The new project from the people that brought you Blind Jacks Journey and Crow Castle Cuts...

The Legend Of Gelert can be sourced back to the 13th Century. Gelert's burial place is the village of Beddgelert in the Snowdonia National Park. The Park has 14 peaks that mountain in heights over 3000ft. Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) is it's highest, at 3065ft (1085m). It's summit is crowned by a bronze burial cairn of another folklore legend of the giant Rhita, slain by King Arthur. The same King Arthur that had gifted 'Lewellyn' - The Prince of Gwynedd with his dog 'Gelert'.

To be continued...
Music from illusive artists connecting nippy Snowdonia peaks to the glacial Scandes via ancient mythical trails. Each piece of vinyl is unique in colour using an experimental tonal effect. 3000.1 uses grey and mustard tones.
Part of a collectable 15 pack to mark each peak above the 3000ft mark.

Zach Murray is a fast-rising London producer who makes a great impression here with an ambitious and ultimately accomplished double pack on Oscuro. The title track 'Pieces Of The Puzzle' opens with sweeping ambient before 'Chill Pill' explores as glistening melodic world of futuristic tech and 'Can't Stop The Rain' has an old-school energy to its marching drums and rave stabs. There are also forays into acidic electro like on 'Keep Chasin'' and rugged breaks on 'Phase Me', elastic house sounds on 'Dubmotions' and cosmic turbulence in the trippy 'Dreams,' all of which show off this producer's versatility in style.

An absolute neck twister that majestically blends Acid House, UK Bleeps & West Coast Style Hip-Hop with refined, delicate & grimey production techniques.

It's a smile & groove attracting cross-over fit for House/Techno as well as R'n'B/Hip-Hop floors. B-side takes the tempo up, electro-fying & advancing beat programming, while portioning dark, well harmonizing & climaxing sections of melodies. Simply an ace & elegant Sex Tags Mania power move.

30 years ago Dutch trance duo Lex van Coeverden and Rene van der Weyde penned one of dance music’s most distinctive yet underrated hits ‘Waterfall’.

There have been several reincarnations over the years but now it’s the turn of retro remix king Dr. Packer to get to grips with this gem. He stays true to the original, beefing up the groove and adding a late-night pulsating bassline. A fine remix that brings the track bang up to date. The Disco Dandies are also called in. As one would expect, they add an upbeat disco groove with a looped percussive groove, disco stabs and phasey bass line – again the original melodies sit on top perfectly and make this version a winner!

Gianluca Pandullo stretches out for some funky Afro -Caribbean inflected house on the A, while Federico Gandin & Jordan Fields get all sympatico on the flip.

After their Grime / Dubstep leaning debut single in late 2018 Intrauterin Recordings mastermind baze.djunkiii and production partner Sascha Müller return with a new outing of their conjunctional COMBAT DUBS project. With „Crystals“ they're coming at us with a special twist, presenting a fascinating crossover of UK Garage and Breakbeat sporting overwhelming basslines and a crystalline, most beautiful and ever cascading synth motif whilst the flipside sees the pair of producers diving deep into raw SpeedGarage / BasslineHouse territories for maximum dancefloor pressure with the aptly titled „Crystals *Speed Mix“.

Initial pressing will be limited to 200 copies on white vinyl.

repressed !

Summer release from Innervisions. Two clean house cuts full of melodic synth lines.

Gravity was finished in a Moroccan Air BnB after Jack J offered up a tasty arrangement of a previously loose ass live demo. Touch Tone started as a jam with Cloudface then was completely reimagined, keeping his keypad melody, and later touched up with Jack adding live drums. Boys Cry is dedicated to the memory of my Dad. Miss you and love you forever. And Fruits is just being itself.

Luv*Jam presents The Legend Of Gelert 3000.8 ‘Tryfan’ with Lootbeg.

Anti lockdown nip alert. Lootbeg climbs out of lockdown hibernation and delivers a record to make us wiggle our hearts out with a gigantic dizzy sunbeam smile... Time to climb the 8th highest peak of the 3000’s - Tryfan with its two distinct large slabs marking the summit “Adam & Eve”, not forgetting the widely recorded “cannon” stone too. This is the 8th summit and 8th record of a highly collectable 14 piece series brought to you from the very same NiP headquarters that brought us Crow Castle Cuts and Blind Jacks Journey... Extra Peaky Nippiness from the ever secretive Rucksack Club.

Pressed on super duper yummy yellow vinyl, like the dream house classic “Blorp93” from Gnork!

Some things get better with age, something that Spanish label Curated By Time are all too familiar with.

Take Mark Ambrose’s Dream Mode, a 1997 treat that will soon be re-released on the Barcelona-based imprint. Twenty-five years after its initial inception, it feels as forward-thinking today as it did back then.

Take the title track for instance, a soothing, electronic-fuelled cut that pulses with wholesome synths throughout. Or the gritty tones of Colonel’s Measure, raw and unapologetic, that features a foundation of thick, hard-hitting percussion. Then there’s Redial: hypnotic, dance-inducing musical goodness to end proceedings in style.

Michael "Adonis" Smith is a name that garners respect from fans of House and Techno across the world. Many of his productions are classics and "Freedom" by his short lived collaborative project The Children is one such record. A deep, otherworldly and almost sinister piece of Chicago House that features the conversational spoken word talents of Jamie Christopher who tells a mysterious robotic voice "Freedom... That's what life's about" over a driving, acidic backdrop of clicking drum machines and descending synthesizer pads.

Originally released in 1987 "Freedom" boasts 4 different mixes, all retaining that slamming Adonis vibe and trademark sound.
"Freedom" has been re-mastered, re-pressed and re-issued with original label artwork for the first time in conjunction with DJ International / Rocky Jones.

"Wake Up, Look Around You"

A+A is Anunaku and Avalon Emerson.
Their first EP features four tracks of melodic club music, made together while in London and on tour.

Resilience is an album that calls on the classic rave sounds of Chrissy's Midwestern youth to explore themes of love, positivity, perserverence, acceptance, and the fight against cynicism. Get ready for big piano melodies, chopped breakbeats, heavy bass, and jacking Chicago drum programming, plus guest appearances from some of Chrissy's friends: vocalist Carrie Wilds, Portuguese DJ/producer/singer Maria Amor, and Berlin-based techno artist Dean Grenier. RAWAX will present it on three ep's!


Chrissy is a genre-bending DJ/producer with releases on Classic, Freerange, Razor N Tape, Hypercolour, and Planet Mu, and a 20-year DJ career spanning Chicago house, disco, rave, jungle, footwork, and more. He ran the influential 'My Year of Mixtapes' blog, and currently runs two record labels: The Nite Owl Diner and Cool Ranch.

'Chrissy is one of the best DJs to ever walk the earth and I am just going to keep saying it until everyone agrees with me.' — The Black Madonna.

We present you the next Whiteloops #13.

It started with a night out at New York’s Sound Factory - and turned into an obsession, Inner City main man Kevin “Reese” Saunderson and his then manager, Neil Rushton, were at the NY uber house club when The Pressure by The Sounds Of Blackness got its’ debut World play, with the ecstatic response from the crowd meaning it was spun three times in a row.

Nobody was more knocked out than Kevin who vowed there and then to come up with a Detroit answer, much to the delight of Soul mad Rushton, co-owner of the Network label.

The idea of The Reese Project was quickly turned into House Heaven reality as Kevin recruited Detroit vocalist diva Rachel Kapp to record the anthemic Direct Me & The Colour Of Love as the first two singles.

Network made the group a main priority, coming with a whole slew of remixes to complement the original USA mixes on the subsequent album. Three of the most loved Network remixes are on this wonderful timeless 12.

The Dave Lee Joey Negro mix from 1991 is rated by many as one of Network’s finest moments, and maybe Lee’s finest ever “remixed with extra production” epics.
Rushton remembers meeting Lee to collect the remix, and instantly phoning Saunderson proclaiming “you won’t believe this”.

Underground Resistance’s Mike Banks added his magic to the 1991 original mixes of “The Colour Of Love” and the results were so overwhelming great that the idea of subsequent remixes was daunting.but the classic 1994 Network remix by The Playboys flew the flag for U.K. House.

C.J, Mackintosh set the production standards for U.K. Soul filled House and his 1993 remix of “So Deep” - sung by La’Trece - is a gem to be cherished forever and a day.

Network’s passionate crusade to crossover The Reese Project from House Music superstars to Pop success came tantalising close but never quite happened. But the Network remixes are a glorious legacy of House Music’s golden age and three of the very finest are remastered here and presented on one glorious 12.

Reese Project - Songs Not Slogans.

UK based label Comma Traxx introducing themselves to the underground House scene with their debut V/A release. Showcasing four exciting and fresh artists, with diverse and individual styles collaborating together for an EP that represents the next wave in producers sprouting up from across the country.

Mehlor's "In Detroit" demonstrates the artists deep and delightfully danceable grooves that roll on from each section to the next. Infectious and unique sounds that are sure to have the dance floor bouncing into a trip out of space.

Jake Flory delivers "Try This" a dystopian, deep and dark roller that is sure to have heads nodding and feet stomping. Robotic soundscapes and mind altering atmospheres bring the track into its own realm of individuality representative of Flory's distinctive style.

Matt Will's welcomes the B-side into an instant banger of a tune with "Timepiece". Combining beat heavy basslines and progressively euphoric pads, the track takes you into a world of its own, right from the first kick drum.

S.onn brings the EP to a close with the continuously bouncy but never boring "B Baby". A track that rolls its bassline before us all, taking us on a positively groovy and persistently party fuelled production.

Vinyl only. A companion to his earlier debut on Inner Balance, this follow-up EP sees Chicago native Ed Nine bring more of that irresistible Windy City sound across four stomping house bangers. As sounds go in and out of fashion, it's a joy to hear someone on top of their game representing a vibe that's truly timeless. Ed Nine, take a bow.

REPRESSED !!

Faux Poly kick off 2023 with Eliza, a beautifully detailed and rugged EP by Ste Roberts.

This record takes Ste’s music into a new and more intimate personal space whilst staying true to his instantly recognisable sound, blending elements of dark Techno and Electro with a beautifully delicate touch.

“This EP was written and produced at a really unique time of my life as I moved my home studio into a new space due to the birth of our daughter, Eliza. The real life hustle kicked in as my freedom to have a jam when I felt creative had gone. Getting used to a new space and making time count was the new way, and here is the first EP from that time. The EP is called Eliza, because what else could it have been!”

Following their debut on the imprint in 2020, Kassian step up for a second outing on Shall Not Fade, this time via the Basement series. Their return to the label takes a deeper, heavier direction than their previous releases, more suited to a warehouse over an intimate club setting.

As Kassian have continuously pushed their sound forwards, they've gained recent accolades such as contributing to BICEP's Feel My Bicep mix series, playing Mixmag's LAB London live and notable coverage from DJ Mag and more in the last year alone.

Their latest EP 'Breathe' is perfectly placed for the long awaited return to nightlife. The A1 delivers what a true A1 should, a peak time driving track with undeniable energy. "Aerial" pulls back the pace slightly, it's a deep and rolling effort with a classic trance influence. Rounding off the EP is "London Orbital", clearly inspired by the sounds of London that the duo are so familiar with, the track switches up the pace and presents a breaks focussed sound.

Four new dancefloor wanderers in the best traditions of the label.

Mastering by Kashatskikh Studio, Saint-Petersburg (RU).

Keeping it warm and playful they deliver dancefloor heat as well as trippy sounds that will lock you in the groove ! Get in the game and discover the positions of the tracks so you find out who made which track

Emi Ömar has been, from his first steps at Recordeep, one of those versatile producers feeding from multiple influences and always in for some experiment. He does not hesitate to mix groovy old school sonorities to more contemporary notes, always with an efficient baseline. His performances are live oriented, and his tracks are often housy and always club friendly.

For his first release with Momo’s basement, Emi Ömar dropped 4 golden sounds. The EP is introduced with Humm, an electronic and freshly optimistic track, followed by Shuffle, an energetic piece that will put dancefloors on fire. The B face stands for bouncy, Doom Mouv and Oyé have influences so retro that nobody will stand quiet.

Mireia Records is exstatic to welcome back Johannes Klingebiel . Johannes has steadily carved a niche for himself with his distinct brand of emotive, yet playful house music. Coming out strongly with his debut 'Latewood' in 2015 and following up with the poignant 'Nightlife' on Mireia Records in 2017. Now he's continuing his knack for contemplative, melodic and danceable music on 'It's OK To Cry'. Opener 'It's OK To Cry' is as tender as you would imagine. It is brilliantly doleful, with thoughtful keys and deep, lo fi drums all tugging at the heart strings. The foolproof 'Piano Thang' again shows off Klingebiel's musical credentials with nimble keys glistening over a more uplifting drum line as cosmic synths elevate your spirits. Kicking off the B-side is the superb 'Really' which journeys back into an insular reverie, with pained synth sounds and a sense of longing pervading the deep house atmospheres and masterfully arranged keys. Next up we have 'Time Is Now' , a slow burning but subtly euphoric number that raises you up on percolating bass and glistening, deep space keys. The package completes with more deep excellence in the form of 'Steel Away' , with meandering pads encouraging your mind to drift as cavernous kicks create a warm and welcoming environment in which to get lost. Inspirited by the music, labelheads RSS Disco set out to find a striking visual reflection of this release. The vinyl is housed in thick inside-out cardboard with hand stamped labels and features an inlay card (surprise).

The phrase 'feux follets' from which Archipel 105 draws its title, comes from the Latin ignis fatuus, and translates as will-o'-the-wisp. The etymology reaches back to old folktales in which ill-intentioned spirits would cast an atmospheric glow at night, in order to lead weary travellers astray. Today, the term refers to ghost-lights - artificial light reflections caused by decomposing organic emissions. Anyway you choose to understand it; this music contains the mysterious and unattainable. Feux Follets are meant to depict an elusive (and perhaps also illusive) ambition. A tense equilibrium colours the constant, foundational sounds with aleatory movements. The compositions are detail-oriented, and boldly explore their tangential elements.

It’s about time for the first release of this true master of deep jazzy house, Shaka! Shaka has an impressive list of releases, ranging back to the mid 90’s with some raw techno up to now with releases on Local Talk or his own label Vibes and Grooves for some serious deep house. His „Four flowers EP“
has plenty of soul soothing jazz-funk grooves nailed to a deep house beat and you just feel that Shaka is a real musician. And we agree, these 4 tracks are hot ingredients!

Eliott Litrowski and Voiski’s could have done so 15 years ago, after a first meeting in Paris on the Island of Swans, during a ‘Free Party’ event shut down by the police. But it didn’t. Each one followed his own way, and if their paths crossed many times, they only began collaborating in 2021.

Cracki Records’s 10th anniversary Compilation was the trigger: the two artists locked themselves in the studio to create what has become since their signature sound: The Friendship Spacecake, a perfect alliance, driven by their common love for analogic synthesizers, between Eliott Litrowski’s hybrid electro and Voiski’s post-trance.

Neither of them wanted to stop at this stage. One is living in Copenhagen, the other in Paris, yetcreating an album together quickly became the next obvious step.
This common desire led to the beginning of the suitably called Superski duo: a great name that encapsulates both artists’ committed live performances, their unusual musical language, between electro, trance and Italo, and their vision of an uncompromising, colorful and positive club culture.

Oberheim 6, Jupiter 8, TR808, Roland JX8P, Microwave XT and FutureRetro XS, all synthesizers are limitlessly pushed to their last breath, creating an almost retro-futuristic decor for the artiststo evolve in.

Their debut album “Mondo Moderno” will be out March 31st
