House Vinyl New Releases - News

Apollo / R&S are proud to present a compilation album of a series of classic EPs of timeless vibes and lush percussive excursions from overlooked Japanese innovator Mr YT AKA Yuji Takenouchi.
The 'Brand New Day', 'Southern Paradise' and 'Parfum' Eps were originally release between 1997 - 1998 on Apollo Records and R&S sub-labels Generations and Global Cuts.
Over the intervening years, the EPs' heady blend of atmospheric pressure, balmy pads and deep grooves has percolated, gathering fans across the globe, to the point where original copies are in high demand on the secondhand market.
Created in the late 90s on a hardware set up of Roland Super Jupiter, Roland JV1080, Roland D550, Yamaha TX81Z and Akai S1100, Takenouchi was burning with inspiration from the sounds of Ron Trent and Chez Damier, Basic Channel, House of 909, Ian Pooley and Carl Craig.
A video game musician by profession, Takenouchi was used to producing music for specific scenes / sequences - starting from scratch had him baffled. Deciding to set a theme or concept for each EP proved to be the breakthrough he needed, a day of new environment for 'Brand New Day', yin and yang for 'Southern Paradise' and imaginary fragrances for 'Parfum'. Looking at pictures related to each of these themes helped to fuel his creativity while producing.
From the sun dappled balearic haze of opener 'Morning' to the blissed out bump of 'Afternoon', the gauzy euphoria of 'Ocean In Heaven' to the cosmic funk pulse of 'Regard', the music contained in the 'Brand New Day' compilation remains as timely and relevant as the day it was released and should see Mr. YT appreciated alongside the likes of the US and European producers who first inspired him.

The debut EP on Council Work from label owners Frankel & Harper. The Trimmers EP contains 2 originals, the first in the form of "LHR.AMS", a heavyweight slice of UKG with strong influences taken from the European house scene and also their drum n bass background. "Trimmers" is a raw dub and jungle infused cut with a sub layer guaranteed to shake speakers stacks. INSTINCT joins for a remix and switches things up by adding a catchy vocal which definitely passes the old grey whistle test.

DSOTS proudly presents its first vinyl release. Dutch genius Locklead presents his EP "Era" including three of his original sharp-edged tracks. Accompanying the release are two remixes by none other than underground legend Sweely and trailblazer Luuk van Dijk.

These 2 guys dont need an introduction as they have earned their respect in the underground over years of quality music.
What needs a proper shout is the fact that they now teamed up for this amazing 2-tracker and we are honored to release this on Noir Music. Early support by Maceo Plex and Adam Beyer has already made some buzz in club-land for this anticipated release and here's your chance to get onboard too.

Since its birth in 2002, Truesoul has grown into a solid, dependable label. Known as Drumcode's little brother, Adam Beyer has taken Truesoul and twisted it into a platform for new and emerging talent to be thrust into the world of electronic music.
Each release has its own unique identity and each track brings something new and unique to the label. The quality of each track is paramount and that has been proven with previous releases from some of the finest talent within the industry.
With future releases from some of the hottest electronic music artists on the planet, Truesoul is positioning itself as a label to be reckoned with. Hot Since 82's trajectory has been nothing short of incredible. x4 Pete Tong Essential New Tunes, x3 BBC Essential Mixes, 2013's ground-breaking Little Black Book, 2014's Knee Deep In Sound mix album (on his new label of the same name), Top 10 Beatport seller of all time with his Bigger Than Prince remix, Mixmag cover star, performing live accompanied by a string quartet, x4 sell out North & South America tours including Coachella, x3 tantalizing Ibiza seasons and most recently his best trick yet, kidnapping fans for TAKEN, one of the most unique clubbing experiences you will ever have. Hot Since 82 steams onto Truesoul with full force releasing two incredible tracks that explode with energy and punch.
Damage packs the power with its chunky drums and huge synth stabs that power through the mix to knock over crowds. Veins encapsulates the chuggy Truesoul sound that Hot Since 82 is notorious for. Hot Since 82 has engrained rolling beats and shimmering highs throughout each track to propel the EP to climax into a remarkable piece of work.

For it's 2nd release, Subterranean Odyssey returns with another hard-hitter from Samuel Jabba's new alias - "Stranger on a Train". Originating from Bogota, Colombia, and a founder of the label From The Void Above, Samuel has been making waves with his recent EP's on Antam records and BlkMarket Music.

As expected, his music certainly doesn't disappoint! A mixture of breaks, electro and 4x4 beats layered with flawlessly executed vocals, taking you on a journey throughout. Each track provides something different but all of them will be perfect for the post-lockdown raves.

The carefully thought out artwork by Madame Fourmilion pays homage to Samuel's home country and rounds off a stunning EP overall.

This is a limited pressing so act fast!

Das Belfaster Duo Bicep veröffentlicht sein heiß ersehntes zweites Album, „Isles“, auf Ninja Tune!

Zwei Jahre in Arbeit, erweitert „Isles“ die kunstvolle Energie des 2017 erschienenen selbstbetitelten Debütalbums von BICEP und vertieft gleichzeitig die Klänge, Erfahrungen und Emotionen, die ihr Leben und ihre Arbeit beeinflusst haben. Sie beschreiben „Isles“ als „eine Momentaufnahme“ ihrer Arbeit in dieser Zeit, wobei die Stücke so konzipiert sind, dass sie sich in ihren verschiedenen Durchläufen von der Aufnahme bis zur Live-Show und darüber hinaus entwickeln.

Der weltweit beliebte Sound von Bicep entstand, als ihr eigener rasanter Aufstieg im Musikbusiness begann. Nach dem Start ihres legendären FeelMyBicep-Blogs im Jahr 2008 entwickelte sich ihre simple Website, die stets neue Italo-, House- und Disco-Juwelen aus der Musikgeschichte präsentierte, zu einem durchschlagenden Erfolg, der regelmäßig über 100.000 Besucher pro Monat verzeichnete. Nachdem der Blog ein Plattenlabel und eine Clubnacht hervorgebracht hatte, wurde das Duo mit begehrten DJ-Sets, die die musikalische Vielfalt ihres Blogs widerspiegelten, auf die internationale Bühne gehoben. Nach den Erfolgen mit Produktionen für Throne of Blood und Aus Music wurden Bicep 2017 bei Ninja Tune unter Vertrag genommen, wo sie im darauffolgenden Jahr ihr umjubeltes, selbstbetiteltes Debütalbum veröffentlichten, das einen Top-20-Einstieg in die britischen Charts erreichte und in der Groove schaffte, was in der langen Geschichte des Magazins noch kein Release bewerkstelligen konnte: sowohl die Kategorie „Album des Jahres“ als auch mit „Glue“ die Kategorie „Track des Jahres“ zu gewinnen. Titel wie „Opal“ - und der bald folgende Four Tet-Remix - sowie die eben erwähnte Lead-Single "Glue" mit dem von Joe Wilson entwickelten Video wurden 2017 zu Meilensteinen der elektronischen Musik, wobei letzteres vom DJ Mag ebenfalls zum „Track of the Year“ gekürt wurde.

David Agrella returns on his newly-minted Agrellomatica Records with three fresh interpretations of Robot Romance. Agrella is a DJ, producer and recording artist with a growing reputation as a versatile selector. Showcasing his musical inspirations across genres via his Agrellomatica slot on London radio station Bloop, the first release on his recently launched eponymous imprint gained support from artists including Moxie, Korea Town Acid and Jane Fitz, alongside high praise from the likes of Ransom Note, Vinyl Factory and Bolting Bits. Electric Nostalgia is an utterly addictive track that draws you in right from the start, as swirling synths and subby pads float above crisp breaks. Robot Romance slowly intensifies with fluttering chords that feel weightless, as the even kick drums meet an elastic bassline - providing a propulsive gem. Agrella's Transition Mix of Fallin', which closes the E.P comes with pummeling drums and muscular acidic melodies.

Enki's promises have brought me to Eridu, now im full of hope and expectations.

In my dreams night falls over the city of art and creation and magic while my eyes adjust to the rays of the sun.

Malin Genie takes us deeper than deep on this new drop for his self-titled label. "Aventijn" opens proceedings up with a veritable plunge pool of submerged pads and steady ticking techno hypnotism - the perfect mind bath for all sub-aquatic travellers. "KIAB" has a dusty house groove to it, but it's still resolutely liquid in its demanour, while "Duppy" has a more pronounced edge and some intriguing metallic dub clangs at work in the mix. "Amulius Numitor" continues the dub techno theme without using any drums - just one massive gravelly chord pulse. Then the record trips on out for as long as you like with a batch of locked grooves for the trick-loving DJs to get creative with.

Manchester mainstay Mason Maynard makes a highly-anticipated return to Hot Creations this February.

Providing the five-track Somethin’ For Tha Underground EP, two leading vocalists feature on the release in the form of esteemed reggae talent General Levy and American singer-songwriter Hadiya George.

Somethin’ For Tha Underground feat. General Levy begins proceedings. A tribal, old-skool leaning number, General Levy’s vocals add that signature jungle feel, as Mason’s four-four style marches on in the foreground. Ring Of Fire feat. Hadiya George comes next, manifesting as a soothing sunset cut packed full of emotive chords and warming strings throughout. The dub version soon arrives before Motherland ramps up the tempo courtesy of a rolling bassline and rampant kick-hat combos. Finally, Disco Punk brings things to a funk-driven close thanks to an instantly recognisable vocal sample.

Manchester DJ and producer Mason Maynard has built himself an exceptional reputation since first bursting onto the scene in 2017. Releases on Hot Creations, Relief and Sola have cemented his standing as one of the scene’s brightest young prospects, whilst performances at clubbing and festival institutions such as Privilege (Ibiza), Parklife (Manchester), Hideout (Croatia) and Space (Miami) have brought his sound to global audiences. In recent times, his Lookin’ At Me release saw him work alongside USA heavyweight leaders Insomniac, setting the tone for a new musical direction, with tastes of rhythmic Detroit style electro further establishing his ever-growing musical palette.

Minim Records seventh release features a single from two amazing Montreal based artists Ohm Hourani, the mind behind Anoma / Interpret and Gab titled "Vicho". Bringing a flare of distinctive minimalism kissed with jazzy flair and sophistication that Ohm Hourani has been associated with globally. Atypical drum beat held in place by atmospheric sounds, incorporating abstract lyrics and several acoustic elements, this one is not to be missed by minimal music lovers. This 180g wax also includes two stellar remixes. No need for introductions, the incredible and ever-changing innovator Jay Tripwire turns up the jets on Vicho turning into an acid-loving bomb. Minim's own Ruslan flares it up with a tight driving kick, body moving bassline, and carefully programmed synths always evolving reminiscent of the timeless music of late 90's - early 2000's.

180g, Vinyl Only. Early support from Andrey Pushkarev, Topper, and Maksim.

After series of digital releases, we’re proud to present to you our first Vinyl release. Featuring artists such as Silat Beksi, userUNKNWN, Soyro, Pierre C and Direkt, there is no way your shelf should miss this one. This release will give you a consistent set of emotive and balanced vibrations. The delightfully trippy noise movements constructed by the artists will not leave your feet to chill on the ground.

In our opinion, the selected artists complete each other’s style and are able to transcend your mind to levels you didn’t know existed.

Here comes another chunk of black wax gold from Defined Limited. This time you'll find there 4 stunning cuts from Javi Lopez, Andy Peimbert, Costas, Toni Moreno & Jacobo Saavedra. Trippy and groovy stuff with prolific synth pallete, vivid rhythm patterns and mighty basslines. Four unique tracks with charming deep minimal vibes permeated with sophisticated inteligence inherent to Defined Limited.

After their track „Etermity“ in the „Music From Space“ compilation last year label boss Marc Romboy and Nice-based French producer Oniris team up once again to deliver us their latest track called „First blush“.

The track comes along as an edgy and rough tech track with a rough but remarkable bass melody which probably won´t leave your head anymore.

On the flip side Extrawelt once again prove why their sound is so distinctive. They pull the theme into a new dimension and add an extra portion of madness.

Winter 2015 is here and Drumcode continues to release the hottest new tracks that make waves within the techno community. Releasing tracks from artists such as Adam Beyer, Alan Fitzpatrick, Joseph Capriati, Maceo Plex, Luigi Madonna, Ida Engberg, Joel Mull, Sam Paganini, Harvey McKay and dubspeeka.
Moving into the latter stage of 2015, Drumcode are keeping up the refined techno that they have displayed and are making sure that they continue to keep up this form throughout heading into 2016. Steve Rachmad is a name familiar to everyone within the electronic music scene. He has been a big part of the scene for over two decades and boasts a whole host of records and shows.
He has been remixed by the likes of Ricardo Villalobos, Joris Voorn and more. Rachmad is now hosting his own Studio 80 based club night Kis where he plays mesmerising extended sets. Steve Rachmad is welcomed to the vinyl-only offshoot Drumcode Limited. Disturbance is a punchy little number that has a stuttering synth that rises over the top of the pounding kick drum. Steps takes it up a notch with a simplistic bleep pattern that modulates throughout that is awash with a throbbing undercurrent.

4 slices of underground House & Garage in a variety of flavours from UK producers Club of Jacks on this their fifth vinyl-only EP. The A side starts with the smooth, deep groove of 'Dreamin' before moving onto pumping jazzy sample house cut 'The Rush'. On the flip side the piano flecked bass heavy 'Move to the Groove' has that packed outdoor terrace, sun coming up, hands in the air vibe and finally the nostalgic, old-school Hip Hop inspired 'Infinity' finishes off the EP in style.

First release on Darius Syrossian's new label Moxy Muzik, with the purpose of showing that music aimed at the dancefloor does not have to all be generic.

'Dance Of The Shaman' is a deep hypnotic number that twists and turns with analog rumbles, a heavyweight organ bassline and echoed Rhodes stabs. There's an errie, estoeric thread weaved within the track serving its namesake all too well, enhanced by those ominous, ethereal vocal samples that dance around in the background. As deep as it is, Syrossian's ever reliable drum programming ensures that its peak time business through and through.

Man of the moment East End Dubs then steps up for an exclusive vinyl only rework of 'Dance Of The Shaman', transforming it into a heads down, after hours minimal roller. That trademark percussive East End Dubs groove locks in from the off allowing a booming bassline to drive the track. Snippets of snyths are looped, distant keys rebound in the haze whilst vocals are dropped in at choice moments for maximum spiritual healing.

Flip it over to hear Doc Martin's 'Sub Level' remix - offering up a luscious, deep house interpretation of the original. The dreamy vocals are given a leading role alongside added congas, shakers and extra percussive elements to provide the perfect soundtrack to those Ibiza sunsets.

The final remix comes in the form of Man Power. A sublime nine & a half minute journey of sheer blissful melodic house, utilising Rhodes stabs, swelling strings and hazy ride cymbals to perfection before opening out to let the jazz infused piano melodies work their magic. It's got a touch of the early St Germain records to it and has all the elements to become a timeless classic.

Already an accomplished composer and producer, crafting music and soundscapes for film and television, Gensi AKA András Genser deploys a trio of smooth and inspiriting cuts on the ‘Primavera 707’ EP. The title track gets the remix rub from British brothers Decius.

‘Primavera 707’ is tinged with a gloss and sheen, and a pop edge, that stays on the right side of classy. Heavenly melodies skit around an effervescent vocal, as Gensi distributes bubbly acid lines and expansive synths that elegantly crescendo.

Decius stamp their rugged sound onto the remix of ‘Primavera 707’, having impressed via releases on their own Decius Trax imprint. Chugging drums and bags of mechanical funk are plugged into this re-rub, as the vocal gets pulverized, and a dark & sleazy tone is forged.

Further explorations into acid are mined on ‘Humble Brush’, as the wiggly worm forages around energizing chords and weighty drums, whilst ‘The Great Body Buzz’ glides across the cosmos with booming 808 beats and intergalactic electronics.

Haokah, one of the most intriguing names hailing from the wonderful Romanian minimal scene, are the authors of the 11th installment of Vivus Records. The duo is very well known in the local scene for their mesmerizing live sets and Vivus is proud to host them for this electrifying release.

The start of the EP is engaging to say the list. The first track, Engage, sets off rather calm but steadily increases. That crescendo serves perfectly to prepare the listener for the second track here, Between The Lines. The bass hits you hard from the beginning while the perfect storm of background noises, coupled with a recurring but discreet vocal takes things to another level.

The third track has the EP’s name, 144, and for good reason. It is the most introspective affair yet, but it also has that pulsating bass that will keep you constantly wanting more. You can almost see the sunrise at a beach afterparty somewhere at the seaside with 144 in the background. Finally, on Ever Lasting, we have lift off. In this spacey affair, full of cosmic noises, it feels as if something magical is around the corner: the acid touch does wonders, the eclectic background noises blend in perfectly and the 144 spaceship has truly taken off.

Christopher Rau is back in the house of Smallville. Four irresistible cuts, the keys to outer-worlds. Driving, yet playful. Sweet, yet haunting. There is only one whocan do it like this. Make sure to lock the door and get lost.
Comes with a full cover artwork by Stefan Marx.

Mysterious label from Romania coming out in a limited series of releases.

Fantasy Life boss Alinka readies ‘Universal Motion EP’ for Radio Slave’s Rekids this June.

Previously appearing on the likes of Permanent Vacation, Classic, NeedWant and Crosstown Rebels, the Ukraine-born, Chicago-raised and Berlin-based Alinka treats Radio Slave’s Rekids imprint to her ‘Universal Motion EP’, delivering four party-starters for her first release on the label.

A1’s ‘Universal Motion’, a driving synth-led number, strongly sets the tone by bringing thick Italo inspired leads and warping synths together to maximum effect. Moving into the second track, the bouncing ‘Emotion 2 Emotion’ intertwines floating pads and loose, bounding drums for a fun and highly playable track.

On the flip, ‘Round Round’ is a funky yet stripped-back affair, utilising raucous percussion, well placed vocal hits and pulsating basslines to create an irresistible groove. Taking the final spot on the 12”, ‘Reality Love’ sees Alinka draw for stuttering bass, classic samples and dense synths for an excellent closer to the EP.

Alinka’s rep as a DJ and producer has continued apace in the past few years with some of her biggest fans being the most notable names in the world of house, disco and techno and ‘Universal Motion’ shows her at her best.

The Untold Stories label continues in cosmic vibe with their PRO series single entitled Spok, by Franco Cinelli. The Bside features a remix by fellow Argentine and emerging talent Nektar Agu. The two artists first collaborated earlier in the year with Franco Cinelli doing a remix of Nektar Agu's track Rainy Days, which received support from Ricardo Villalobos. Now continuing in fine form Nektar Agu returns the favour with a superb remix of Franco's 14 minute atmospheric dance floor filler, developing it joyously, with intricate percussion and an altogether enlivening mood filled with Maasai voices which gives the remix a very different and earthly tribal spin in comparison to the more cosmic aura of the original Spok. Live long and prosper!

Gazing at the stars is looking at the past. The galaxies send you messages from thousands of light years away. That overwhelming feeling is present on Free Andromeda by Timothy J. Fairplay. An album grounded on earth while floating through eternity with a loose connection to the Milky way.

This nine-track record is, as always with T J. F. a delicately balanced mix between dark and light, analogue and digital, vast space and tight basements. With an impressing collection of premium synthesisers and drum machines, TJF showcases some of the most exquisite electronically generated soundscapes heard on this side of 1984. His sound on Free Andromeda can be described as leftfield inspired by various John Carpenter- and Italian horror movie soundtracks together with some West German Kosmische Musik.

Thimothy J. Fairplay, somewhat of a veteran on the label, makes deep and warm electronic music celebrating underground sounds from the last five decades. This album is no exception. For all you introverts dreaming of a life in the starshine – here’s Free Andromeda!

Pleasure Zone welcomes the talented Dudley Strangeways to the label Family! Rondo's Return EP is a great dubut for us from the british producer. We expect more to hear in the future from Dudley Strangeways!

Five years after hailing all eyes on the horizon with an exquisite Black Sunrise, Francesco Chiocci and Black Soda reconvene, innervated by the earth’s brightest star, to cast another invigorating summertime bacchanal.

Paying homage to the vast source of life, the Italian producer and South African vocalist grace MoBlack Records with a 6:23 minute voyage, “Towards the Sun.” Including three stellar remixes by Osunlade, Pastaboys and Lehar & Musumeci.

We are finally here with our 8th release that received a massive support during all the last summer and autumn all around. We are very happy to welcome on board to Romar and Nu Zau that delivered us an incredible journey with their own music style. Lot of supports and requests on this one, so don't sleep.

Played by: Raresh, Prichindel, Viceversa, Petre Inspirescu, Mihai Pol, Silat Beksi, Vern, Sepp, Traumer and others

Halocyan plunge deeper into their 'Originary Technicity' series which has already featured an EP by Hackman backed up by remixers including Timo Maas and KiNK. For their latest offering, the L.A coterie have enlisted the talents of the legendary German duo Extrawelt backed up by championed master of machines Ulrich Schnauss.Having released several EPs through Cocoon as well as 12"s on James Holden's Border Community, Kompass Musik and Traum Schallplatten, Extrawelt have evinced infallible consistency across their back catalogue and have long been regarded an eminent and influential force in the world of experimental Techno.Their contribution to the Originary Technicity series comes in the form of two excursive pieces beginning with 'Breaking Bricks' which sets jutting percussive knocks under a sheet of shimmering hats and pellucid clicks and shuffles. A thick and purposeful bass patterns drives through the mix and propels progress towards a shift into a patch of interwoven melodies that render the sort of saccharine dystopia that fans of Extrawelt will be familiar with.
'Splendid Nausea' then blooms behind nifty sound design and gently flexing pads before a persistent pulse emerges and sets things flickering out of focus. A seasick bass line emerges pushing a dark, plodding mood along until the close before Domino and Pedigree Cuts contributor, Ulrich Schnauss then steps in to bolster the package with his own spectral take on Breaking Bricks. Steadily building a wall of undulating pads propelled by frazzled circuit signals, Schnauss rounds off another addition to the Originary Technicity series which comes as yet another rich and cohesive package from the ever-reliable Halocyan."
