House Vinyl New Releases - News

The second chapter in the Family Matters serie marks the 10th release on the Belgian record label 9300 Records. Via electro, through house and breakbeat, all the way to New Beat, established members offer you their view on the different aspects in the spectrum of electronical music. It's a nostalgic reference to the past, through the eyes of the present. Alessandro Parisi makes his first contribution to the label with an ominous New Beat influenced track, while Betonkust joins him on the dark B-side with his well known non compromising electro. A-side consists of dance-floor approved electro/house tracks of both Intimacy & Innershades and a sober, yet sophisticated anthem by the hand of Robert D.

Beartrax is back on his own taste-making electronic label Melodize with a pair of fantastic new singles that get fine remix treatment by the cult underground figure that is Carl Finlow.

American Beartrax has been experimenting with electronic music for 10 years now, and has built up a fine reputation and discography that often leads to Beatport chart toppers and gets big support from high profile DJs.

Up first is Dream Riff, a low key roller with nice melancholic pads and crisp, crunchy hi hats as well as killer bass. It's a melodic musing that really carries your mind away from this world while keeping your body locked to the drums. Remixing is Carl Finlow, who has been an electro mainstay for decades. His version is haunting and minimal, with spooky bass notes and clacking hits that makes for a deep and atmospheric jam. Repentance closes out with nagging bass and a lead melody that is cautiously optimistic.

This is another classy EP from all involved.

Melodize is a brand new label that kicks off with a mighty EP from Beartrax that includes a remix from US house legend John Tejada. Beartrax has already rebased on Motek Music, Lost Diaries and Deeper Love and makes a real impression here.

The US house legend and Kompakt regular that is John Tejada opens the EP with the moody and synth laden Clarity remix. It is a roller that takes you deep and has lush chords stretching to the heavens. Clarity in original form is a tender, piano laden tune with a vulnerable vibe and deep, resonating bass. Last up is Haunted Chalice, a track with a rasping lead synth that mesmerises as the warm drums roll on below.

This is a classy EP to kick off this exciting new label

feedback so far:
- Animal Trainer - "Haunted Chalice sounds awesome!"
- Huxley - "Like the remix."
- Nick Warren - "A fine mix from John and Haunted has great charm."
- Jamie Jones- "Sounds cool, will give proper feedback if played."
- Joyce Muniz- "John Tejada remix is sweet!“

PAWSA is a man making waves across the globe, with his charismatic style and unmistakable flair in commanding dancefloors. Cue PAWZ013 - two club ready, vinyl only weapons that clearly demonstrate PAWSA's power.

Kicking things off, the A side houses 'On Yer Feet' showcasing a beautiful simplicity in PAWSA's production, proving that when every element works in synergy, there's no need to clutter a mix. Marrying a rolling beat and crisp percussion with a bass weight that drives the track, the foundations are laid for an infectious, mantra-like vocal to capture minds and move bodies. The vocal breakdown is destined to be the catalyst for fabled club sit downs the world over, with the drop providing sure fire hands in the air euphoria.

On the B side a brooding, machine evoking bassline and thumping kick are complimented with claps and hats that cut right through in 'For The Few'. Adding in off beat synth stabs, the combination with the mechanical bass is bound to draw dancers into a trance inducing state.

Two heavyweight club tracks destined to do damage, from one of the rising stars of the scene.

Extra Credit is the project of three of electronic music’s greatest exponents; legendary NYC DJ and producer Justin Strauss, London DJ and producer Marcus Marr and Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard; one of dance music’s greatest polymaths.

Up The Stuss founder Chris Stussy joins forces with Mandar’s S.A.M. as the pair deliver their debut collaborative project, 'Get Together’. A rich body of work fusing both artist's unique sound palettes to reveal immersive soundscapes blended with addictive grooves and seductive melodies, the eight track project showcases a collection of timeless cuts for the club and beyond from two of the most exciting names within house music.

Following our deep & dubby vibes, this time are our good friends ËN & Jerome.c , as usual there is no digital promotion and it’s limited edition.

Following in the footsteps of Midland,Dusky, Bicep, and Glimpse, Leon Vynehall is next in line to join Aus's early-2013 run of highly anticipated and sought after releases. Over the course of two EPs on Brighton's Well Rounded Housing Project and an acclaimed two-tracker on George Fitzgerald's ManMakeMusic imprint (Gold Language / Don't Know Why) Leon Vynehall has established himself as more than just your average dance producer: he's established himself as a genuine artist, whose approach to production carves its own unique path, regardless of expectation or reaction, as he himself admits, 'I like chords, I like atmosphere and some sort of emotion in music. Rather than it being just about the dance floor, I like it being a bit of both. I like to take a sound and change it, manipulating things so they sound a bit dusty. With drums, I like to make them sound more human. I prefer dance music that isn't quantized, regimented, and super mixed down to the nano-perfect spot. I'm a believer in the fact that music doesn't have to sound professional to sound great. Mastering engineers hate me.' The 'Brother / Sister EP', due on June 10th, is a master class in rough and ready house music - the A-side is a brutal, hook-fuelled rhythm that has already been destroying clubs in Saul's own sets, while the flipside - born of the same rugged percussion - is balanced with an undeniable beauty and melodic character that many contemporaries would struggle to pull off. Listeners of his XLR8R podcast from February this year will recognise 'Brother,' and after much speculation will be glad to know of its imminent release, while both sides of the 12 also received their first radio airplay in Aus boss Will Saul's recent BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix.

Stamp Records is back with a 7th episode, it's a new VA including 4 tracks, stories from Paris & Berlin written & produced by maestro Ernesto Ferreyra (Cadenza), SY (EWax), Petit Batou, and Djena who teams up with Seyli (also known as ILyes).

Minimal, mental, emotional

Harry Wolfman has been a staple member of the Dirt Crew family since his debut collaboration with Loz Goddard in 2016. We’ve since seen considerable growth with EPs on Phonica’s “Karakul”, “Omena” and “Outplay” all lending a hand to the development of his signature sound into its now established lo-fi style, delving into a range of genres... ethereal ambience, electro and left-field rhythms, and of course deep, often break beat laden house grooves.
This new EP is no exception, Harry drops some irresistible dance tunes with “Walk With Me” and the banging title track “Sly Contrast” but also explores the boundaries of his palette with the vocal interludes “A21z” and the majestic “Courage” featuring the voice of “Mona Vale”, dipping a toe into the floaty world of lo-fi pop.
We also find ambient and Jazz elements cleverly combined in “Fhloston Paradise”. And the closing drum break joint “Wokit Shep” loops live drums, strings, piano and brass elements, twirling towards a majestic finale reminiscing dusty jazzy Trip Hop and instrumental Hip Hop pieces.
This record offers hope for better times... we are really glad to have Harry back with these strong tunes and can’t wait to hear these out again on a juicy sound system. Enjoy!

Adlibitum Tum Tunes debuts as the new sublabel from Mixcult Records, focused entirely on refined, well-crafted deep house. Farid Odilbekov opens the gate with his EP “Annex” letting in elements like sharp rhythm shuffles, spoken-word vocals and a very distinctive bassline that can set to motion even the numbest bodies. ATT001 is definitely for those élite collectors.

Slices of a Dog’s Records third release is by our favorite dawg on the planet right now: Jarren from LA, who takes all of that legendary g-phonk legacy from his hometown, and transforms it into something very contemporary and fresh, crafted with tons and tons of style and finesse. This one is something more than a debut EP, displaying Jarren’s talent, skills, culture, and fine taste, over a diverse range of styles: from that fat funk, to uplifting house, to old school electro vibes u can easily pop-lock to. As a plus, the project features guest musicians appearances from veteran maestro Jacob “JD” Crouch on sax, LA legend Bendek on guitar, and label’s co-founder Brothermartino on flutes.

Saturn Drive is back with their second installment by Dutch veteran, Lauhaus. Title track “Mel Gibson” is a tech-house anthem which made it's rounds in the ibiza circuit, pre-covid, more notably at Circo Loco compliments of Seth Troxler. Second track, Seance, is a late night trippy banger built to hit bodies and minds. B-side “Taste Buds” comes with a vinyl only original version which brings a funky touch to the catchy vocal and spaced out ambient. The remix, by the mighty Ray Okpara, delves into minimal psychedelia to great effect.

This June Session Victim return to Jimpster's ' Delusions Of Grandeur' imprint with a third studio album. 'Listen To Your Heart' is the result of a year of cross-continental scripting, started in their Hamburg studio and wrapped up stateside in San Francisco's Room G Studios where the duo had worked on their 2014 LP 'See you When You Get There'.

Sampling still remains an ever present backbone throughout the album. Session Victim have dug deep for sounds, resulting in a richly detailed and organic sound collage that goes hand-in-hand with their live instrumentation, this time enhanced through several guest musician appearances, most notably Carsten "Erobique" Meyer (ex-International Pony). Smooth guitar samples are built up on 'Over and Over' while on 'Moons & Flowers' the live instrumentals that Session Victim do so well come to the fore.

The treasure trove of San Francisco's record shops proved to be a hard bait to resist and the pair spent a large part of their Californian time hunting for records to sample. Three new tracks emerged from these digging sessions, with the sweeping disco string arrangements on 'Shadows' standing out as a prime ode to days spent combing through bargain bins.

Listen To Your Heart is equally a product of the road. While heavy touring is often cited as a hindrance to the creativity of artists, Session Victim see their live shows as a catalyst to their creativity. Two US tours in 2016 gave the Hamburg duo the opportunity to take track sketches and fragments on the road to incorporate into their live shows and then digest them back in the studio. The playful funk soaked groove of 'Matching Half' captures the sense of movement present throughout Listen To Your Heart and the LP mix of 'Up To Rise', which caused heavy ripples when it dropped as part of 2016's Matching Half EP is an extension of the upbeat and euphoric groove

Veteran German duo and masters of the deep TIEFSCHWARZ bring an infectious double header to Suara complete with remixes from Sinfol and Marco Faraone.

‘Some Thing’ opens up with a saturated big room belter. An intensity built through analogue weight, sonar pulses and glitching synth sounds trade off against fiery cymbals and peppered rim shots. That enigmatic vocal reverberates through the ether, giving an deep and mysterious touch to the track.

Next up, ‘Thinking Of You’ treads a more cerebral path, twisting it’s way through the mind with surging yet soft pads, fizzing rides and siren-like swells. Sci fi tuned vocals add a touch of dystopian darkness to this intergalactic treat.

On the B side, Sinfol steps up to turn ‘Thinking Of You’ into a harder hitting industrial bomb complete with throbbing strings, monstrous synthlines and firecracker percussion, distorting the vocals to add even more menace. Finally, Italy’s Marco Faraone takes ‘Some Thing’ into roller territory with a mesmerising groove powered by a thumping kick that works magically with that mystifying vocal.

DJ Support:

ASK:ME, nice one, James Zabiela, Dave Sinner, Joris Voorn, Spektre, Just Her, Siavash, Yotam Avni, JackRocK, Bruno, ANNA, Erin Sharoni, Popof, UNER, Mannix, Frank Kvitta, Weska, Rudosa, Adrian Hour, 2000 and One | Edge Of Motion, Andres Campo, Monika Kruse, Karotte, Arjun Vagale, Alan Fitzpatrick, Filterheadz

SW11 brings together fourteen artists with divergent styles of electronic music.
From energetic frequencies to thoughtful melodies, the Secret Weapons Part 11 provides a mixture of different approaches to the musical creative process by new and familiar faces.

A work 12 months in the making, Adam Beyer continues his exciting series of collaborative EPs, teaming up with heavy-hitters Pig&Dan for an multi-faceted four-tracker.
Chances are up if you spied Adam Beyer in an airport departure lounge over the past 12 months, he'd have his head buried in his laptop, immersed in creating sound sketches.

A long-time fan of collaborations, the Drumcode chief has been on an inspiring streak of form lately, teaming up with the likes of Mark Reeve, Dense & Pika and now Pig&Dan. The results have been compelling, to say the least.

In trademark perfectionist Beyer style, the title track 'Capsule' - a
shimmering slice of techno - involved "around 15 different versions" the track rigorously road tested by the Swede and featured in episodes of Drumcode Radio to test dancefloor reactions, before finally getting the sign off.

'In Love' is a big room techno groover, driven by crisp drums and the kind of evocative vocal effect that'll have hairs standing on ends.'Atmosfear' is true to its name, centered on a menacing synth line and gritty percussion, its deep kicks and subterranean bass combining superbly to create a heady dancefloor brew. 'We Are E' is propelled by a catchy synth hook and a classic call-to-arms vocal, which tips its cap to the artists' shared love of classic UK rave.'Dan's a cool cat. Early in the piece I found out he actually played a role in producing an early Stone Roses album - they're one of my all-time favourite Brit Pop acts. He also used to be an old drum'n'bass producer for many years in London throughout the '90s. If you listen to the track 'We Are E', that's very UK rave inspired.

That's common ground we both have, as I was heavily into D&B and jungle. We spent a lot of time talking about old records and samples. It was fun finding out we share similar interests." - Adam Beyer

The first artist to see his music engraved in black plastic is our long time favourite duo Alexxei 'n' Nig, which delivers a carefully crafted piece of deep house that sounds like played by an orchestra, with violins, trumpets and a piano and that brings the usual, dubbygroovy feeling of the italo-russian guys to a new, more melodic level.

AUX88 did it......They Brought the first of the Mad Scientist Cd Release tracks from there pivotal LP. Finally original mixes on vinyl. AUX88 proves once again not only are they one of the best live bands in electronic music, but one of the genres funkiest groups in the world......continuing where Cybotron and Drexciya left off to a style all their own. Aux88 along with Drexciya single handily brought the electro genre back in the late 80’s

1) "Voice Modulation"- Vocals are what set Aux88 apart from everyone else; the beat is dark and precise with thumping bass line.

2) "Mad Scientist"- K-1 on vocals shows you why they loved making this LP and tour everything was used on these tracks analog and digital........................Mad Scientist they have created a true masterpiece. The Lp was dedicated to the late James Stinson

The brand new WOLF Music release features the talents of Dutch wonder kid Frits Wentink. At only 23, his unique take on house music extends well beyond his years.


The EP leads with 'Mouse', a peak time dancefloor track that has been causing damage on dancefloors across Europe in the months leading up to this release. The deep hypnotic grooves that can be found on 'One Mouse' carry on throughout 'Mice' & 'Mices'. With vocal snippets, driving basslines and Frits' rich production techniques once again creating two great tracks that are crying out to be heard on a large sound system at 3am. Don't forget, all mice stink alike.

Frits Wentink hails from Ultrecht in Holland where he studied audio design. Growing up on a diet of Madlib & Pete Rock before gravitating to more electronic sounds. Quickly gaining a reputation not only for his unique productions, but for his live sets as well. Not content with standing behind a laptop screen, his live setup contains a 16 channel mixer, synths and homemade midi controllers. Designing his devices in a way that it is easier for the audience to imagine how he controls the sounds, giving the audience a more intuitive idea of what he is doing live.

Holic Trax has established itself as a respected, no nonsense outlet for quality house and techno and that carries on here with a new EP from Keita Sano that comes on a limited
edition run of coloured vinyl. Keita Sano is based in Okayama, Japan and has previously released on labels such as
NYC's Mister Saturday Night and Hugo Capablanca's Discos Capablanca. Here he presents his latest single for the ever excellent Holic Trax in raw and excellent fashion.
Up first, 'Flowers From Your Grave' is a gritty number with tough drums, Detroit inspired pads and plenty of physicality in the groove. Crisp and dynamic, it's a robust house cut, for sure.
'Let's Stay Together' is a more party sounding offering with atmospheric ambience in the back ground as streaming Rhodes chords and organic percussion set a Moodymann style
vibe front and centre. Then comes 'Night Walking', which flips the script again, this time sinking down into a warm,
propulsive deep house vibe with bold but soft edged chords, driving drums and engaging hand claps. Lastly, vinyl only cut 'Exit'
is a prickly, raw and frazzled acid number with phased
basslines, panning 303 squelches and plenty of wallop in its bones. This is a fine EP that is sure to make a big impact on the dance floor.

Ninja Tune’s Leon Vynehall veröffentlicht 12” mit neuem Song!

Leon Vynehall veröffentlicht seine neue 12” „I, Cavallo“ auf Ninja Tune! Dunkel, pochend und intensiv ansteckend, richtet er seinen Fokus auf einen dichten und nervenaufreibenden Raum. Leon Vynehall hat sich in kurzer Zeit als Künstler mit echten handwerklichen Fähigkeiten etabliert. Er bringt ein viel breiteres Spektrum an Skills und Einflüssen in die elektronische Musik ein. Sein umfassender Ansatz wurde im Juni letzten Jahres durch sein faszinierendes Debütalbum „Nothing Is Still“ auf Ninja Tune bestätigt, das von der Kritik hoch gelobt wurde. Unter anderem sprach hierzulande der Deutschlandfunk von „literarischer Clubmusik“, Groove beschrieb das Album als „fesselnde und wunderschöne Platte“ und Spex meinte, „‚Nothing Is Still’ klingt erstaunlich kohärent.“.

Topping off an incredible run that included last year's releases SICKO (KOMPAKT 322) and YOU ARE A BLADE (KOMPAKT 343), UK producer and long-time Kompakt ally REX THE DOG presents two brand new jams on TEUFELSBERG - this latest offering connects the dots between the powerful, melody-driven techno of Rex's earlier works and his current set-up that favors muscular, raw tracks with a distinctive analog bite. The latter is no accident, as Rex has become increasingly involved in DIY synth design, building his own modular hardware for studio and live use. Title cut TEUFELSBERG starts off lean and mean, quickly establishing momentum with propulsive beats and a simple, but seriously effective bass line - the track's main protagonist, however, is a sweeping melody blowing up for the track's entire run time, an utterly scenic synth job that doesn't even flinch from a ground zero break. Meanwhile, the flip side shells out a proper rave whacking with industrial-infused banger SHORTWAVE - another relentlessl piece of prime time techno that is as monolithic as it is playful.
+Als weiterer Höhepunkt eines unglaublichen Laufs, der letztes Jahr mit SICKO (KOMPAKT 322) und YOU ARE A BLADE (KOMPAKT 343) begann, präsentiert der UK-Produzent und langjährige Kompakt-Vertraute REX THE DOG zwei brandneue Knaller auf TEUFELSBERG - ein perfekter Spagat zwischen dem kraftvollen, melodieverliebten Techno seiner früheren Produktionen und dem rohen, muskulösen Stil mit analogem Biss, welcher seinen aktuellen Output charakterisiert. Letzteres sollte nicht verwundern, ist Rex doch zunehmend in Do-It-Yourself-Synthesizer-Design abgetaucht und baut inzwischen modulare Gerätschaften für seine Studio- und Bühnenbelange selbst. Das Titelstück TEUFELSBERG startet schlank und sehnig, dreht mit treibenden Beats und einer simplen, aber schwer effektiven Bassline schnell den Hahn auf - der wahre Star ist hier jedoch eine mitreissende Melodie, die wie in Zeitlupe über die gesamte Lauflänge des Tracks explodiert, dank ungemein malerischer Synthesizerklänge die auch vor radikalen Breaks nicht zurückschrecken. Währenddessen keilt die Rückseite mit einer ordentlichen Portion Rave auf dem Industrial-beeinflussten SHORTWAVE aus - erneut ein unermüdlicher Techno-Schieber zur besten Sendezeit, der sowohl monumental als auch verspielt kann.

Santonio Echols is well known for his role in the famed group Reese and Santonio on London/ffrr Records. And projects on the Tresor label, Shiftimprint, Serious Grooves and D Records.

This dynamic E.P is filled with jacking and deep house sounds of Detroit.

Die Martinez-Brüder Chris & Steven aus der New Yorker Bronx sind seit über 10 Jahren in der House-Szene aktiv. Seit 2011 haben sie eine feste DJ-Residenz auf Ibiza, legen auf renommierten Festivals wie Ultra, Time Warp oder Tomorrowland auf und kollaborieren für ihre eigenen Tracks mit Grössen wie Chic(!), Miss Kittin und Tiga. Sie betreiben mit Cuttin' Headz ein Label und gleichnamige Partynächte und legten 2014 dem Mixmag UK-Magazin einen exklusiven CD-Sampler bei. Grund genug für Fabric, sich das berüchtigte DJ-Duo zu packen und ihr erstes offizielles Mixalbum zu veröffentlichen. Dieses bestreiten die Brüder mit 23 erstklassigen Tracks, die von Chicago-Innovator Paul Johnson bis Detroit-Multiinstrumentalist Amp Fiddler reichen. Dazwischen steuern The Martinez Brothers mit "Jam Joint", "Mistakes" und ihrer Top-Kollabo mit NY-House-Legende Louis Vega ("Let It Go (TMB Alternate Version)") drei exklusive eigene Produktionen bei. Die DJ-freundliche Doppel-LP enthält 12 ausgesuchte Perlen, darunter von Mahony & Flogg, Roots Orchestra und zwei Exclusives der Martinez-Brüder.

The German combo-star have worked for many months exclusively in this ep, trying to get the right inspiration. The got it. 'In My Dip' and 'Pleasure Of Pleasure' keep the line drawn from Tube & Berger on 2012: emotive beats for the dancefloor. Two well planned music melodic masterpieces which will get tons of plays in 2013

Samo Records' second release comes from Australia's Tunnel Signs, who has previously released on Cutters Records, Nein Records, Days of Being Wild, to name a few.'Ultraviolet,' a ready-for-the-floor collaboration with Moderna (Ghostly, Lumiere Noir), blends a stick-in-your-head vocal with hard electro for radiantly retrofuturistic results. 'Carbonate' emanates classic industrial vibes with a heavy, pumping bassline and soaring, melodic synths. The Markus Gibb (RTTB) remix of 'Ultraviolet' strips the original of its prominent synths while adding a healthy dose of slinky, hypnotic beats and dissonant samples. WT Records' Willie Burns turns 'Carbonate' into a big-room-rave anthem: driving rhythms punctuated by noisy squelches under heavy synth loops.

'Psych', the long-awaited Freaks album released in 2014 gets a re-release in 2015 with some brand new remixes.
Freaks, a musical partnership between Luke Solomon and Justin Harris that's spanned twenty years and includes the Music For Freaks label, four albums, and an avalanche of singles on the likes of Playhouse and Hot Creations to Crosstown Rebels, News and International Deejay Gigolos. The album was released to rave reviews and featured a much awaited gathering of material from the late 00s onwards, including collaborations with Robert Owens, Stella Attar and Diz Washington.
This 12" includes interpretations from Dave Aju, Jamie 3:26 and Freaks.For over a decade, San Francisco innovator and a vital part of Circus Company, Dave Aju has been producing and performing his unique brand of electronic dance music, a consistently fresh and expressive sound.
His remix of 'Situations' makes no exception, a strong piece of jacking house music with bubbling sub bass, strong raw percussive beats, and an effective use of Diz' vocals and the flute sound. On the B Side 'Misfits' is reworked by Chicago's master Jamie 3:26 who turns the tune into an acid house monster and by Freaks themselves who extend their Original version for dance floor action. A strong package...and more to come !

Stefan Schwander has been releasing his heavily processed and sequenced take on African music and American minimalism under his Harmonious Thelonious moniker since 2008. His new EP on meakusma is only the second one on a non-German label. On two tracks, Schwander takes his trademark rhythmically and melodically repetitive sound into straightforward Techno territory, although some heavy phasing gives the raw power and stoic repetition of these tracks an ambientish, post-club feel. Two other tracks further develop his typically eclectic and informed sound, playing live organ on one of them, displaying a jittery and jumpy rhythmic style that looks for a groove that until now did not exist. Jesse Hackett, a.k.a. Elmore Judd, delivers a remix that takes the original firmly into 'My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts' territory, giving melody and rhythm a more open sense of space, and layering it with vocal samples to further add to a sense of Funk alienation. This is serious and exhilarating music!

Two Hot Creations titans will team up with a renowned singer-songwriter next month, as Lee Foss, Detlef and Anabel Englund collaborate on the two-track Thunder & Lightning. Set for release on 20th November, the EP marks the trio’s debut collaboration and sees Lee and Anabel return to the label for the first time in six years.

Thunder & Lightning sets the tone, with hard-hitting drums residing atop a subtle underlying bassline. Anabel’s stunning vocals soon stir up feelings of intensity and resilience, before the infectious kick-hat backbone comes back in to form an emotive, dancefloor cut. I Have Synthed completes proceedings in a manner reminiscent of its title, featuring synth-heavy groove, acid-twinged bass and Anabel’s enigmatic vocals once more.

An eminent figure in Hot Creations’ musical history, USA mainstay Lee Foss has been a figurehead of contemporary house for nearly a decade. In recent times, his Repopulate Mars label has welcomed an array of globally-loved artists including Michael Bibi, Sonny Fodera and more besides, whilst also championing new talent from producers such as Deeper Purpose and Ben Hemsley. House heavyweight Detlef has amassed a worldwide following in a career spanning nearly a decade. A previous Beatport Number 1 record holder for Swagon, this year marked a particularly special milestone with the launch of his own label, Issues. Such a feat simply adds to the Greek-natives illustrious reputation, having cemented his place in electronic music with stunning releases on the likes of Hot Creations, Repopulate Mars, Relief and Moon Harbour to name a few. Anabel Englund has had a huge year with a #1 US dance record for 8 weeks in a row, So Hot (MK & Nightlapse Remix).

She currently has a solo release, Picture Us sitting in the top 10 in Dance Music Radio with support from many major players including SIRIUSXM Diplo's revolution, iHeartRadio, Music Choice, Pride Radio, Dance Factory Chicago, Nexus Radio and more. With over 1.3 million monthly Spotify listeners & a mass of 14 million streams on Spotify alone. In addition to this, she also has her first debut album coming out December of this year.
