House Vinyl New Releases - News

Storming into 2022 with a flurry of high-octane remixed from a stellar array of artists, Anfisa Letyago continues to solidify her position as one of techno's most talked about names. An intrepid selector with a positive attitude regarding all things art and dancefloor related, she's been making seismic waves within the industry for a few years. Letyago launched her own imprint - N:S:DA last year, originally a celebration of her own dark-brooding style of techno, the label has entered a metamorphosis of sorts, welcoming in a host of established producers to remix the labels first two remix EP's.

Kompakt head-honcho and German techno extraordinaire Michael Mayer opens up the floodgates of this remix project with an alluring interpretation of "Nisida". Decades of industry experience have finely tuned Mayer's taste making to an impeccable standard, his extensive knowledge of dancefloors and deep cuts serves as an excellent explanation for his undeniable ability in the studio. Ethereal vocal snapshots from the original mix are weaved intricately amongst the machine-orchestra of arpeggiated synths and stalwart drum loops. "My aim for this remix was to crystallize this yearning sentiment in Anfisa's whispers by adding more warmth and drama to the track" adds Michael.

The Italian-born, multi-faceted DJ Tennis steps into the arena with his unique take on the original mix of "Nisida". Elegant pads flourish through the mix, carrying listeners weightlessly into warping basslines and razor-sharp drum work. The droning synths seem to induce hypnosis, circling and swaying around the driving kick and scattered hi-hats. A production powerhouse since the early nineties, DJ Tennis continues to juggle event promotion, running a label and booking agency. A hugely talented all-rounder.

1979 draws the EP to a close with a swirling techno edit of "Orizzonte", tastefully minimal and precisely crafted with compelling sound design from the analog synth wizard. Classically trained with a deep penchant for attending illegal raves in his youth, 1979 has been making waves with a flurry of breakout hits in recent years. The arrangement climbs through cycles of high-pitched tones and rolling mid-range bass, taking listeners on a sonic journey steeped in warmth with classic drum machine hits. "'Orizzonte' caught me in many ways, and I decided to use the beautiful space-arpeggios and the shoegaze pads made by Anfisa to create my own version of the track" he adds. The perfect track for highway driving and rocking dancefloors.

Addition by Subtraction kicks off 2022 with 4 driving House bombs to boast their fifth vinyl-only release ready for the club.

Side A welcomes System V, who gives birth to his new alias - you may otherwise know him as the one and only Vitess from France. Elijah Something takes side B, Sydney’s very own producer, super star DJ, and label head honcho at Conspiracy Music.

Early support from: James Andrew, Chris Stussy, Leon, DJOKO, Fabe, Voigtmann, ADMNTi, Jake Hough, Gabby, Persian Rug, Marley Sherman, and Andy Ivory.

Avantroots is one of the leading dub related labels in recent years taking the genre to its furthest and freshest perspectives while still respecting the history and the figures inside it. One of those historical figures is the legendary Linval Thompson who's credits and list of those he influenced are pages long.
To have Linval be the lead on this project truly makes this a unique and special release. 'World Crisis' is Linval's message and it is as definitive as ever. There is a lot of thought put into each step and portion of this project. The overall traditional dub concept is to feature different voices over the same instrumental where this, flips the script and each version has a different electronic music producer add their talents to create their own signature account. The result is an extraordinary and well composed EP. Deepchord, Deepnaut, Pulshar and Braulio Lam were specifically chosen to head up this treasured task of taking 'World Crisis' into their realms.
The Deepnaut version is a true essence of the future of a more mature island late night cultured dub techno sound. The track shimmers in a euphoric glow that covers you like a sun on the beach in summer. Linval's voice is front and center and one could say this may be the most single oriented as it uses the most vocals of any of the renditions here. Braulio Lam's submission has all the makings of a classic styled dub track. While the beat is transcendent, everything else is processed in a new school way. And the technique is next level to be clear. Next is Deepchord's version. To say this is the deepest and most techno might not be much of a surprise. The groove is addictive and the chords sampled into the rhythm while the melody ebbs and flows are pure magic. Lastly, Pulshar breaks things down to the starkest of the choices and one of the most hypnotic. Pablo Bolivar and Sergio Sainz Vidal from Pulshar have a knack for injective some serious island vibes to the electronic scene.
The artwork is also special here. It respects the history of dub culture while advancing the application as it uses AI generated images combined with human elements. The pictures support the message of the 'World Crisis' speaks on by Linval Thompson. This is a special release no doubt. Avant-Roots are very happy with the variety offered by the artists of their label and this release. They shined when it came to harnessing the essence of this track and infusing it into their
particular version of electronic dub.

Pierre is a musical genius and one of the kindest people around. He builds every live set as a unique performance with different setups, different tracks and different vibes.

Label favorites Pornbugs return with another triumphant release, on the ever-reliable Bondage-Music.

Kicking off with the title track 'Juvania', a deep and sophisticated subtle groover, with its deep bass setting the tone. A filtered vocal hook loops around while trippy percussive adds an additional vibe, while the gated vocal adds a sparkle to proceedings.

Remix duties see Rhadow adding some intrigue, as this bubbling bass led re-tweak unfurls, with trippy vocal fx and tasty percussion, while a warm and magical muted melodic flavor encases things wonderfully.

Next, we find 'Mudita', with its moody rolling groove, and spoken style vocal that adds a little bounce to this workout, while some dubby elements are sprinkled nicely. The breakdown is a hypnotic and cosmic vibed affair, as the spoken word plays with your mind before returning to the track with a real throb. 

Nicola Brusegan steps up to remix Mudita, taking us deep, but keeping the energy levels high, as this deep driver with a classic feel lets go. Punchy goodness!

Ardalan’s debut album, “Mr. Good” was a perfect launching off point for the bright, young artist. A genuine reflection of the producer he has become with a considerable nod to the future. The album was widely admired by critics, DJs, fans and industry alike, and we’re super proud of what Ardalan continues to accomplish.

For the remixes of the album, Ardalan’s music receives re-interpretations from DJ Deron, Delano Smith, The Martin Brothers and Ardalan himself.

Get Physical Music kicks off 2022 with another of their classic vinyl releases featuring Chelonis R. Jones' enduring underground hit 'I Don't Know' with a superb new remix from Oscar L and two classic remixes from Butch and Herbert.

Chelonis R. Jones is the California-born, New York-based poet, singer and writer who has released several albums, both as a solo artist and in collaboration. Most famously, he co-wrote and sang on Ro?yksopp's '49 Percent,' while 'I Don't Know' remains a much-loved house track. The original is a heavyweight house groove with taught drums and slapping hits. The seductive vocal is packed with warmth and soul and is what makes this one such a classic.
The fresh new remix comes from Oscar L, a house and tech mainstay of the last 15 years. His personal sound comes with a rich array of left-of-centre references and has won him the support of the likes of Richie Hawtin and Adam Beyer. After signing with labels like Drumcode and Knee Deep In Sound he now showcases his style on this fantastic remix. It is a fulsome version with big, pumping drums and a steamy intensity that is heightened by the passionate vocal. As the track builds to the breakdown the crowd will be in raptures before it kicks off in style once again.
Next come two previously released but still vital remixes. The first is from the hugely prolific Butch. He has defined house music over the last decade with tunes on all the great labels, collabs with Ricardo Villalobos and characterful sets all over the world. His take is rooted in deep minimal drums. The track builds slowly with soulful synths adding colour before the iconic vocal arrives and sends shivers down the spine. Herbert is the second remixer and a bonafide legend of the electronic music world. His famously eccentric production techniques and definitive club tracks remain in a class of their own. His take on the original is typically individual, with layers of sleek synths and elastic harmonies overlaid with the carefully treated vocal.
This is a package of timeless house sounds that span the ages.

Subsequent. We live in old structures, admire the same old gods!
After the success and the blitz sale of their first two releases - Subsequent is back with 4 futuristic tracks from Copenhagen based Martin Swanstein aka Martinez. Meandering hectic drums, abstract patches of moody melodies and a minimalistic elegance define this wonderful EP. Subsequent material at its best.
Enjoy!

Y'all want this party started right Well you came to the right place, as this classic anthem from the fabled electro & hip hop artist, Strafe, gets official remixes from Justin Martin. Originally created by Justin as a secret weapon for his DJ sets, this quickly became one of his most requested track IDs, and now here it is for the masses alongside an additional never before heard tech house version.

A special project deserves special artwork, and Justin hand-picked Nico Salazar to create imagery based on the classic 808 drum machine, featuring a boombox of the iconic colored buttons and lighting.

LIMITED MARBLED SINGLE SIDED 10” / HAND-STAMPED / NUMBERED / NO REPRESS

Pulpies & cornymen,
Our sixth and sexiest 10-incher is about to begin its descent.
For unknown reasons, rumor has it this may be the last Travoltesque episode on the series until further notice.

Bristolian DJ and producer Gallegos is fast becoming known in the underground for his truly unique blend of hard-hitting house and rough and ready sampling. With releases on Moxie’s ‘On Loop’ imprint, London based party and imprint ‘Feelings Worldwide’ and a pivotal EP on ‘Holding Hands’ in 2021 that brought him adulation from Avalon Emerson, Eris Drew and Octo Octa to name just a few.

The sample wizard now makes his debut on Baby Rollén’s Slump Recordings label, a year in waiting due to the severe delays with vinyl pressing plants, this miraculous musical journey sees the light of day. Having collaborated on numerous releases together, Gallegos releasing on Rollén’s Slump imprint was destined to come soon.

Spanning from the crunchy house grooves of 'Faulty VHS Chewed My WWF Tapes', to the unbounded rave energy of 'Westfest Windmills' with a driving upbeat pulse, Gallegos also spoils us with his long-since unreleased hip hop production ‘Only The Lonely’. The record spans across genres with ease, all with the distinctive Gallegos sonic to them.

For number 09 Office Recordings comes up with four slow bottom up intense house groovers

New dancefloor tracks from Domino Vibes.

The title of EP, "Transcendental" is a reference to the power listening to music and dancing has on lifting the mood, bring happiness and elevate the state of mind.

Shall Not Fade welcomes Melbourne based DJ and producer Loure to the family for Memories In Strobes EP, four tracks of elated and explorative house. The Australian has cultivated an enigmatic presence with his jazzy, deep-house style, although the listener will hear hints of influence from electro to breakbeat on the new EP.

The opening track, "Grip", shows off the best of Loure's skills. Glorious sweeping pads and faded breaks make for a blissed out vibe in this intricately produced hands-in-the-air favourite. It melts into "Two Dimes Deep", which continues the spaced-out deep house energy but with more bite, teasing bits of electro in its firm bassline.

"Inner-Side" is pushed forward by driving house rhythms, covered by French-style filtered vocals to create a euphoric club track. Closing it out is "Breath of Light", constructed from a shuffling and constantly moving beat and euphoric pads which swoop down from above, with a growling acidic edge battling against them for centre stage

Ray Mang has been a spiritual brother to and lodestar for LPH since it's founding, but it was only when we began releasing these Saidêra tracks, defined by their suspension between laid-back Balearic electronica and poppy sun-bleached samba, that we knew we'd finally be able to naturally bring him into the fold.

Mr. Mang has kept the bright aesthetic and uninhibited ebullience of the original intact while simultaneously beefing up the presence of the rhythm section, revealing male-female vocal harmonies that were somewhat hidden before, and expanding upon the ornamentations that imparted to it a light-as-a-feather airiness and expansiveness.

In classic disco 12-inch style, the record includes a main mix and three spin- offs, each exploring a different facet. The radio mix is shorter and tighter, the “sambadrone beats” puts the percussion at the fore, and the instrumental lets the bed Mang has made take center stage.

The long awaited follow up to the sought-after first Be Told Lies VA, featuring the heavy atmospherics, luscious pads, haunting melodies that makes the label's sound unique.

Luv Shack Records is celebrating 10 years with a set of classic tracks from the back catalogue getting remix treatments for todays dancefloors on the Retroscope 01 EP.

The opening track is a remix of Space Echo's "Come Back Home" by none other than Norwegian producer extraordinaire Prins Thomas. His 11 minute revision of the 2014 hit balances countless layers of funky guitar riffs, moogish leads und meticulously layered disco drums, resulting in an ever evolving trippy cosmic masterpiece.

Hot on the Heels of Prins Thomas' remix, ROTCIV takes Rising Seed´s "Train to Kismarton" to Italo town, adopting only the eerie western guitars from the original, whilst building a wonky 80s sound carpet of analogue arpeggios and punchy DMX drums around it.

The Golden Boogie Connection delivers their super lush rework of Space Echo´s "Soul Power" with a tight, organic groove, witty extra instruments such as funk guitars, disco strings and beautifully light footed vocals. What a package!

Next up, Luv Shack newcomer Endrik Schroeder takes on "Wake Up" by Neon Amish & Space Echo. His remix blends the synth goodness of the original with powerful disco-house drums, unleashing a hi-energy vibe thats both uplifting and nostalgic, once encorporating the vocals of Tarek Farwati on the original remix and leaving even more room for the synth pads on the dub remix.

With "Ridin' High" perhaps being one of the most classic Luv Shack tracks, Lee Stevens takes on the task of remixing himself as Rising Seed, opting for a laid back dub house style with bonus pan flutes, ghostly Melotron strings and a ton of spring reverb.

Lis Sarroca brings us the second edition of our 10 inch series: a house cut for all hours, complete with an acidic remix from Swedish don, MLiR. The title track gets Ghost House off to an energetic, skippy start before 'Deux' takes things deeper, adding tribal drums for extra movement, and 'NSCDS' brings things to an italo-inflected close.

The third edition in the Rendr vinyl catalogue, A collection of pristine elements and soul are the life blood of this record.

Welcoming the super talented, Elrow’s own De La Swing to the imprint along with his eclectic taste for rhythm, which he caress's into each of the originals. Three finely produced tracks with rolling grooves and warm inviting vocals that emit the energy to make you move to the beat under your own free will.

Sidney Charles steps up for remix duties and injects his signature swing to the original. Carrying forward the essence of passion and deepness of 'Astro Girl' but adding even more punch and electricity to make this track perfect for any DJ’s library.

Hot on the heels of “Flesh Is A Prison” - the quirky, electronic wonderland he contributed to Cocoon’s phenomenal S compilation - the multi-talented Neil Landstrumm consolidates his position on the label roster with a debut 3-track EP that channels the uncompromising spirit of seminal UK labels like Network, Warp and Vinyl Solution.

It’s clear from the first few seconds of “Sun Universe” that we‘re being transported back to 90‘s UK rave culture at a point where rave, jungle and house were mutating into speed garage. Ruffness abounds as stuttering snare rolls accompany the rude boy bass, ragga samples and classic ‘hoover’ synth riff, while peripheral sounds circle the groove adding a contemporary twist. Staying true to the times, the arrangement plays it straight, alternating between two distinct structures - one labelled ‘jump up’ and the other ‘spread out’!

These timely juxtapositions of mood alone mean the track will blow up on any dance floor.

“Purple” continues in a similar vein, with a phat, warping bass line underpinning the blunted beats and dusty bleeps. Landstrumm rides the mix in classic old school style, cutting up the linear arrangement with sudden unexpected deviations, alternative rhythms and layered melodies that lend a hidden complexity to the relentless groove.

There’s a different energy at work here, one that flies in the face of certain overcooked, modern production techniques, finding more in common with a raw, vintage Carl Cox three deck mix tape, circa 1989.

To round things off, “Catnatized” drops the tempo for a slab of grimy, acid funk that recalls the early excursions of Sheffield’s electronic pioneers, with a hint of embryonic Amsterdam House thrown in for good measure. Once again the bass line grabs the headlines, rasping and morphing in its own peculiar language while twisted vocals tease the dance floor with the logic of the absurd.

It’s another refreshingly unique statement from Neil Landstrumm, rounding off a ‘must have’ EP that fits perfectly with the Cocoon ethos of championing the presence of the past.

A1. & A2. Cutting edge London based DJ producer "Duel" launches his Ibadan Records debut with super track "Zed". In the studio Duel hooks up with his comrade "Dos" and execute their production skills and in addition Jerome Sydenham enters the Frey to get down on the mix. The result is a healthy dose of avant-garde Deep House on one hand and a virile dose of Tech house on the other. This DJ friendly romper is a sure banker!
B1. Jerome Sydenham enters the deep Techno realm in true Vanguard style unleashing "Dogon". Sparse vocals and tinges of Acid and fat kicks shape this underground piece and put it right in the pocket.
B2. "Mirror Lines" is a beautifully crafted contempo Deep House track effortlessly combining a spirit of happiness with energetic resolve. This New York meets Detroit flavor is the brainchild of Jerome Sydenham and Amsterdam Techno/House superstar Shindoe, who is also making her Ibadan Records debut. Enjoy!

MOi continues to introduce us with house sound. An older style this time.

Spandau 20’s Nikk debuts on Dance Trax with 3 original jackin' club bombs backed with a glitched out remix from techno legend Mark Broom.

Red Vinyl

Monogold EP is raw, polished and bold. The drums hit hard and the chords that shadow them are constantly on the move. It is where techno meets meditation, strangeness and mystery. Equipped with a Efdemin remix to keep the dancefloor going. Vinyl-only!

The always tasteful Half Baked crew looks to one of their own for this fresh slice of delicious minimal. Sam Bangura was a new young resident for the party back in 2018 and since then has really honed his own sound. It's laid bare here across four fine cuts, with opener 'Range Finder' serving up bristling drum machine grooves and cheeky basslines overlaid with cosmic chords. 'Axel's Limp' is a brilliantly vibrant melodic overload with scintillating drums and plenty of neon colours.

'Bugbear' gets more gritty with a standout bassline powering forwards rugged tech house and 'How Are U Feeling?' then gets spaced out and slick.

A stalwart in the true sense of the word (as well as being one of the nicest people you could hope to meet on a night out), Al Bradley has been obsessed with House Music ever since a trip to the now legendary Hacienda night club in Manchester during the summer of 1989. It’s an obsession that’s taken him down a long and winding road leading to 18 years and counting as a label boss, featuring on over 100 releases with either original or remix productions as well as celebrated residencies for powerhouses like Fabric London, Bugged Out Manchester and Pioneer DJ Radio whilst also making sure to still kick it with the cool kids at spots like Stereosleaze also in London and Lip Service and Deadbeat Disco in his new adopted hometown of Leeds.

For his inaugural EP with the northern powerhouse that is Rejekt Music, we present a collection of tracks across Vinyl and Digital releases with a spread of genuinely world class remixes courtesy of names that include the self-proclaimed “product of a mis-spent mancunion youth” Danny “Moodymanc” Ward, the vinyl enthusiast’s favourite Tommy “Vicari Jnr” and the ever evolving genius of long term resident for We Love @ Space Ibiza and Colour Series Label Boss “Jem Haynes”

From here on in we always prefer to let the music do the rest of the talking. Please enjoy irresponsibly!

Perspective 006 comes in the form of a 5-track collaboration EP from two Leeds-based artists; label owner Kepler, and Wickham.
