House Vinyl New Releases - News

This is a city of contradicting systems and clashing elements. Its morphology becomes a direct representation of a poly-rhythmic frenzy, avoiding any attempt of crystallization into a single entity. Hi hats become columns, snares turn into repeating arcades and drum kicks form encompassing volumes.
This is the architecture of the absurd, where reality as a single vision is no longer possible. As music helps us escape our bound dimension through obsessive repetitions, this city wants to be a materialization of this transcendental power.

Timeless, raw and obscure melodies composed by Moray. Tomoki Tamura and Los Pastores remixed Checking Defaults and My System respectively.

Mastered and engineered in Mexico by Sidartha Siliceo.

Pressed in Germany.

Welcome 2016 and welcome back everybody to the second Cocoon Recordings roll out. We wonder what this year will bring if the kick-off is already on such a high level Ricardo Tobar's first remix 12 comes with two stunning re-arrangements by Fairmont and Tech-House grandmaster John Tejada. The canadian minimal techno hero Fairmont remixed Tobars Angora' and gave it such a strong Border Community vibe. Dark but at the same time pushing and hedonistic. Fairmont starts off with a subtle percussion-beat-acid-combination and turns his remix into a proper and mad electronic masterpiece the longer it runs. Epic! Californian tech-house pioneer John Tejada is on remix-duty for Invierno' and he blasts us away with the result. Deeper than deep and kick-ass house with a pushing detroit and KMS vibe. This one almost appears like a lost & found alltime techno and house classic and it will hit the Zeitgeist in Berlin, London, New York and Tokyo like no other release on Cocoon Recordings lately. This is ingenious clubfood for all the innercity hipsters and musiclovers and it simply makes us wanna dance! This! Is! Tech-House! Baby!ly makes us wanna dance! This! Is! Tech-House! Baby!

New imprint beam dump curated and run by Chris Geschwindner starts its operation with the usual madness. Following the idea of a beam dump, a device that captures and dissipates large amounts of radiation, the label showcases music that strikes through its energy and coherent complexity.

For its first release, beam dump introduces the newcomer trio of SINM from Lima, Peru with their infectious blend of breakbeat-infused house and no-nonsense tech groovers. Including 4 tracks, Simulation EP is a fun and innovative approach to current electronic club sounds borrowing inspiration from tech house as well as twisted UK garage and 2-step.

Here’s a mantra, a slogan, channelled from the inner human being longing for the covid crisis to end. And yet this is a response to a much wider issue. A pandemic everyone is dealing with since years: Nationalist tendencies, the alienation that stems from it and the reality of borders. But, ‘die Welt ist ein Mitteinander’, the world is togetherness. We’re on one planet, all facing the same global problems and challenges. All sharing the same course through the cosmos. No way to escape. Tune in, abandon your ego and start chanting.

Our Muted Noise Profile Series 01 is molded to provide a broad and varied selection of musical minds from different creative paths who nevertheless share common interests in originality, attention to detail, and passion for crafting dance music with a superb sense of sophistication.

German imprint MASK return in 2021 with yet another inviting anonymous release featuring six raw original cuts.
The MASK imprint continue to impress with their signature aesthetic which places focus on intricate, modular based house, techno and ambient cuts and everything in between. Their previous releases have
garnered strong support from various artists including the likes of Laurent Garnier, DJ Bone, Photonz, Anastasia Kristensen, Marcel Dettmann and many more, and ‘Knef’ sees the esoteric German imprint deliver yet another impressive collection of tracks to kick start 2021.
The ‘A1’ gets the EP rolling with muffled drums and enticing moods that sit delicately underneath the soulful, samples and sweeping synths before ‘A2’ offers up resounding kicks that balance delightfully with the reverberating modulations and powerful yet interesting fx. The A3 lays focus on an aquatic house roller with bubbly melodies and dreamy pads with magnetising emotions brimming to the surface.
On the flip, the ‘B1’ is an engaging cut with breezy resonance and ethereal leads which lure you in from the start whilst the dubby drums, solemn ambience and laid-back m oods take focus in the ‘B2’. Rounding things off in experimental fashion, the ‘B3’ is an eccentric meditative, cut with leftfield oscillations and beatless vibrations which blend together with stunning effect.
Unknown ‘Knef’ drops on MASK in early Spring 2021.

Malaga's Cuartero is next up on Constant Black, bringing a finely honed minimal house sound that fits into the label's shadowy club aesthetic perfectly. "Rame" is a driving, insistent slice of stripped down house with plenty of subtle wriggles and textures gurgling away under the surface. "Melkor" has some tougher drums, not least around the low end, but the same economy of sonics is applied here where the beat takes the lead and the FX skirt and skitter around the beat. "Caterpillar" has a tougher, less swung accent to its beats, but the chunky drum machine patterns are still executed with that stern focus that makes a minimal track pop off in the mix.

The top futuristic year is 12006: next up on label-owner David Vunk's Moustache Recordings label is a collaboration between him and fellow Rotterdam rogue, Ben La Desh who between them have combined to produce two tracks full of spaced out house, techno, electronic and disco feelings. First up, Turner drops a rich colour palette of vibrant space disco prize strings. The creeping cresecendo of synth-led brushstrokes paint a rich impressionistic glow interpersed with positive vocal samples drifting through like dutch boats in a gale. Next up Deep Valley takes off over the snow-capped mountain tops and towards the flowing river of deep techno drums. Eerie soaring strings and isolated vocal snaps conjure up images of cavernous depths of deep sea and space as we go deeper into the valley of the dolls. With releases coming on strong over the past few years La Desh continues his ascent into production adulthood on the 21st release on Moustache Recordings while Vunk's typical high-class production values shine through this entire release. Further collaborations between this duo would be only gezellig.

Fresh all-around tracks with an elegant and well-structured tunneling dub sound can describe best this new MixCult release.

With Kirill’s vision imprinted on this one, expressive house and techno come together to form a timeless style that can shake any dance floor with an entirely aural mood.

Utrecht-based producer Locklead makes his debut appearance on Vatos Locos with three incredible cuts full of energy that will find their home in the rowdiest raves out there. Brawther delivers a hard-hitting remix with a chunky analog vibe. Expect heavy drum grooves, hypnotic synths and an impressive low end as the record spans a vast range of influences from electro, minimal, deep, and straight up dancefloor-ready house music.

Partisan welcomes Luca Cazal who delivers 3 super house cuts for the catalog under his new debut moniker LVCA!

'War is Over’ is a classy peak-time bomb that stomps all over the dance floor with it’s acid bleeps, vocoder sounds, boisterous playful bass line, hypnotic pads and fat drum rhythm; this track just rocks! On the flip side ‘People like This’ is a slightly deeper diversion championed by a beautiful 303 bass arpeggiator motif, voice vocoder, subtle delayed bells, and immersive atmospheres transporting you into LVCA’s hypnotic sound. Closing out the EP is ‘Timeless Melody,' deep, elegant and sublime with touches of beautiful piano riffs, warm chords, seductive voices; ready to mesmerise and be dropped at sunrise, sunset or whenever you please.

To mark the 10th release on the Zeitnot imprint we've invited our very special friend Nick Gynn. For this milestone occasion Nick's prepared his longest play yet, 6 stellar tracks ranging through various flavours of deep and warped dance floor sounds.

On the A side AAA shows some love to the golden era of IDM with its B12-esque synth lines, and a growling grooving bass patch. Similarly weighty dance floor bomb Dynamic Traces has a mind-warping atmosphere, and a catchier hook than your favourite guilty pleasure.


Lose yourself in the gripping melancholy of Lourd, with more squelchy IDM-inflections, and practically dripping in nostalgia. Swap plates to the C side to hear expert examples of deep and driven electro Pheonix and Rokit, before gracefully coming to rest amongst the clouds in the arpeggiatted symphonies of A = 432 (Hz).

Since its inception in 2011 the Fuse label has grown to be one of the leading voices in the dance music underground, originally kicking off with co-founder Enzo Siragusa's 'The Sagamore EP', subsequent releases were kept strictly in-house with productions from the roster of resident DJs that feature at their
London based daytime raves (Seb Zito, Rich NxT etc).

In 2013 offshoot label 'Infuse' was initiated as a way of harnessing
production talent from around the globe.

As a celebration of reaching 5 years of releases, a three part vinyl only EP is to be released featuring tracks from the established Fuse roster as well as a few new additions.

The third & final EP features Rich NxT, OdD & Rossko, Archie Hamilton & Sam Bellis

STRICTLY VINYL ONLY!

After a two year gap Clio is back on Metroline Limited after producing two of the most successful releases from the label's extensive catalogue: For Sure Baby (2010) and Do It EP (2012). In the opening track, The Beautiful Forces, Blade Runner soundscapes morph into post-rave stabs and combine with heavy subs and sci-fi effects to create the soundtrack to a rave in an abandoned space station. On a more Chicago tip, Something Like That is a collaboration with French groove master Loquace. The result is a loose, flowing house jam, which as the lyrics tell you, is all about vibe - it doesn't have to be planned... it's just how you feel! The legendary Thomas Schumacher turns out a serious burner on the flip with his remix of The Beautiful Forces, bringing the vocals up in the mix and throwing in a pumping b-line to keep things moving nicely. Swiss rising star Yvan Genkins takes on marginalising the Chi-town flavour of the original and working the elements up into a eyes-down Tresor-style techno monster. Classic 909 hits, a satisfying low-end rumble... it doesn't get more floor-friendly than this.

DJ Bone, Terrence Parker, and Scan 7 remix Disruptive Pattern Material on the ‘Necessary EP’, landing this May on Rekids.

Making his debut release on one of electronic music’s most vital labels, Michigan’s Disruptive Pattern Material emerges with ‘Necessary’, a Detroit indebted jam backed with remixes from some of the Motor City’s most influential names.

Leading the A-side, the original mix of ‘Necessary’ loops a vocal chop at its core, weaving airy synths and bubbling, dubbed-out bass effortlessly throughout the track. DJ Bone’s remix sees the Subject Detroit and Encounter boss draw hidden textures from the original, adding fresh synth works atop the pitched-up vocals for a distinctly Detroit jam.

On the flip, Intangible Records & Soundworks’ Terrence Parker introduces skipping drums under a hands-in-air piano loop, effortlessly flipping the track into a bonafide party starter. Taking the B2 spot,UR affiliates Scan 7 blend rave stabs, 909 kicks, and rubbery bass for a remix of digital-only bonus track Freedom.

We are very happy to welcome to Bad Barbie to Marc Faenger with an exquisite four track release named Cabinet EP that besides the two originals from Marc, also includes two fantastic remixes by the Romanian's talented producer Plusculaar. The first track from A Side is Cabinet, in which Marc presents a delicate blend of trippy elements present in the backend that configurates an amazing groove in combination with a solid low-end leading the rhythm. The second track from this side is Mescaline which has a much more techno vibe with a solid tech foundation too, which easily immerses the audience into a subtle hypnotic vibe with an especial underground sound. For the B Side of this record we have both Plusculaar remixes made from Cabinet. The 1st Remix presents a broken beat with Plusculaar's characteristic sound that leads into a twisted voyage through a superb atmosphere with an outstandingly composed groove. The 2nd Remix is a solid re-work of Cabinet's sounds with a very inspiring, deep and evocative vibe that results in a very creative and beautiful mind trip that closes this release perfectly.

Inspired by the early white label house music releases.
