House Vinyl New Releases - News

Four new original songs from Nachtbraker with intricate percussion and melodic arrangements. Diving deep into Nachtbraker's wicked mind, each tune has a healthy dose of weirdness.

Title track "Bay Be Blu" tickles the endorphin receptors with its euphoric melodies and 'Stranger Things' atmospheres. The second track leans on soothing warm synths gliding over a dub bass with tight drums. In addition, attentive listeners will hear Nachtbraker's personal field recordings on the beaches of Barceloneta. When the record is flipped one finds herself in "Tangelo Dreams", a mid 90's, Pacific Records inspired jam with a driving baseline. Rounding off the record is "Drip", a track drenched in unconventionalism and oddities.

Mastered and lacquer cut by Simon (The Exchange) Davey.

Four more fully road tested and bona fide boings. Release your release.

After the massive success of the first VA we decided to do another one this time collecting music from UK, Argentina & Netherland... we will let the music do the talking but we assure you won’t be disappointed.

Brandon Vare's Powerline EP comes in the form of 4 edgy club tracks, reeking of hot synths and drum machines, each with their own individual character.

DJ Swagger and LUZ1E team up to present you DJ DOOM, a collaboration project set in (post-)apocalyptic sceneries and theme-based productions. DJ DOOM will appear in all sorts of horrific predicaments to fight his way out. This time he got abducted by evil extra-terrestrials which were attracted by his spaced out beats. Will he ever come back home? What will he do to fight back those aliens??

The debut album "Night Train EP" is a journey
into the dubby soundscape of Domino Vibes (A DJ & Producer based in Bucharest, Romania).

The sound is a blend of acoustic drums, analog & digital synths that
has its roots in the classic, early dub-techno records.

Packed with raw, punchy beats, deep groovy basslines, monotonal-muted synth-pads, and funky percussion all along,
this record is an invitation to the dancefloor.

"A Side" is intended as a warm-up opener, or after-party session.
As for "B Side", the sound and feel aims for main segment of the mix.

In first track "D. Effect" the simple drum track and thick bassline blends with a distant pulsating gong that sets the tone for a dreamy athmosphere in some empty fields.

The rolling beat of "Turn Around" gets the party going. A playful mix of synth chords keeps you into the vibe.

Syncopated rhythmic accents are dropping into the loop.
The echoed synths bring a mistery touch oposed to the heavy drum kick that keeps on pumping into an funky loop.

"Entering in Station", B1 track, is based on a simple dub theme. The punchy drum kick and deep baseline meet the main chords theme, here and there a sudden, weird and transcending "intemezzo" pops up and sends us to the other side of the scene, like driving through a misty fog.

The beat comes back on and chords keep flowing into an endless loop.

The last track "Sinking Sun" brings in a playful mood, send the listener to a magical scenery,

The "dancehall" echo is omnipresent, brings colour to the scene, all is paired with the timeless feel of the groove.

Newcomers Gabe & Jude stepping up with some serious jams! Repping Washington DC / Northern Virginia on this debut 12' and exclusively through Rubadub.

Groovepressure is excited to be re-releasing two tracks from the first ever Groovepressure release. Resonators is Groovepressure honcho Robin Ball and long time school friend Salman Montiero. Made in 1999 in a very small studio in Robin's house, Robin remembers "getting them pressed and taking them to the shops I loved in London to see if they would sell them and getting a really good reaction from the shop staff. Not that it was going to be a big commercial success or anything like that, more because the tracks had a unique sound and I think still do today." The underground scene then was a lot more freestyle but even in that atmosphere it was an unusual release. Since then it's been one of the most sort after releases from the Groovepressure back catalogue. It's an exciting time to be re-releasing this with the re-emergence of the label. Booma and Shuzzbuzz have been re-mastered and remixed by Robin Ball.

For DSD023, Bailey Ibbs serves up a killer with his ‘Gurl’ EP. The A side delivers 3 Bailey originals, each serving up a different mood best suited for the dance floor. Where the B side provides 3 completely different flips of ‘Gurl’ delivered to you by Groovy D, Denham Audio & AK Sports.

John Shima with 4 tracks of deep & warm Detroit vibes, limited pressing of 200 copies on blue transparent vinyl.

Len Lewis is back on Physical Education for the label's fourth release, delivering some unreleased material from the early 2000s.

The EP brings three strong tracks from the tech house master himself, pressed in limited numbers, don't sleep on it!

Jonathan Kaspar has been making left of center dance music for some years, releasing on labels such as Crosstown Rebels, Objektivity, Pets Recordings or Kompakt's KX. Here, the Cologne-based DJ and producer provides three tracks that serve as a reminder that dance music doesn't have to be one dimensional. Opener 'Mera' starts out along a shuffling, groove-heavy path before various sound elements creep in, culminating with a hummed vocal full of mystery and magic. The track appears here in two versions, with the 'Strip Down' getting deeper into the drums for a full rhythm-frenzy workout. Both tracks are perfect sunrise music, as is 'Weiss'. Although ostensibly having more of a straight up dancefloor approach, the track's low slung groove slowly reveals itself over its nine minutes into a spaced out cosmic journey.

Cold water, bad weather and a car packed with machines. Best conditions to make a record. After two weeks, the reflections are three tracks, in three different ways but with many connections. The EP starts with Glowe' and technoid breakbeats, which are being controlled by heavy chords. Wiek' stays with the pattern of breaks but gets more emotional through various pads, which appear and suddenly disappear. On the B-Side Spycker' finds his path, with the help of several percussive elements.

"We had a little pause on our release schedule, but without further delay we present with pleasure the next bomb by our good friend, DJ Spider!
Thema 46 was hatched from someone so deeply ingrained in the underground that he barely needs an introduction. From his RA "label of the month" featured imprint Plan B Recordings, to his thoroughly played productions on labels such as Rekids, Killekill and The Trilogy Tapes, DJ Spider has been a mainstay on the murkiest, most disorderly dance floors for years. His sound is characterized by disjointed elements lurching around in a off-kilter yet magnetic way that forces you to move in ways you didn't know you could. From the hell scorched, pitch bent echoes of "The Final Revolution" to the lo-fi groove antics of "Distress Signal", DJ Spider proves once again that no one can do it as perfectly weird as he can.

Qalomota records is back with a release from the 2 foundators of Qalo-Mota. As usual QM is large and offer you different type of House. For This Cocktail EP you could dance on 'Hard to get' this track really influenced by NYC club scene. The old timer will pleased with 'Too far gone' reminisence of several tracks from Dj Pierre or Eric Kupper and as said Adonis 'Too far gone and no way back!'. To finish, the real music lovers will recognize the female singer on this Remix from a classic of classic. Simply few words, get fun and get your ass on the dancefloor.

Much like its associated club, Live At Robert Johnson not only features seasoned veterans, but likewise emerging talents and those already paving their way with quality productions. Victor’s production style tells much about his ongoing collaborations with one of bespoke veterans, Gerd Janson, providing countless remixes and edits as a tag team on labels such als Running Back and Permanent Vacation.

Taking their inspirations from a sonic array of UK Synth Pop, Balearic beats and Italo Disco, Victor Shan’s LARJ debut 4-track EP reveres nights spent at the Robert Johnson club: from the dancefloor to the studio. Lush detuned synths, deep basslines sometimes lingering down below, and upfront beats—they all catch the vibe of a wooden dancefloor to be found at Nordring 131 in Offenbach.

Rhythm Cult is proud to welcome Sascha Dive for its seventh release on its vinyl only series. As you probably know, Sascha Dive has been active within the electronic music scene for over ten years, and during this long decade he has developed a very particular vision of deep house: seductive, profound and highly danceable.

Brother’s Yard EP comes with three tracks that fully represent this impression. Starting with the track that gives name to the release, Brother’s Yard, you’ll easily feel empowered by the percussion and freed by the ecstatic vocals. On the B side of the release, Sascha Dive goes even deeper with Deep Down and Impossible Game, both tracks built thanks to an inimitable groove.

A vinyl only series is made for those who really want to feel the sound of the needle playing tracks you never get bored of. If you’re one of them, Sascha Dive’s new release will be one of those you’ll be playing for years.

Alex Breitling opens the MAKASI EP on Monaberry with a wide groove in combination with a sparkling and dynamic arrangement. Bright breaks, lovely percussions, hypnotic flutes and powerful synths elevate MAKASI to an inspiring narrative. Angelov's "Jungle Vision" picks up the soul of the original and turns it into a catchy tune with an exciting voodoo outfit. David Mayer illuminates the deep side of MAKASI and converts the track into a pulsating road trip through the glowing hot club savannah. The second original track SIMBAWA by Alex Breitling rushes in a darker mood towards the sunrise and immediately invites some synth friends from the 80s to celebrate like never before.

First up on the new sub label from Floorpiece we present upcoming Australian DJ & producer Shacklo, with his 'Shall We' EP! He provides 4 original cuts ranging from deep jazzy tinged vibes on 'Smokee', to the more dancefloor oriented wobbler 'Krazee'

30/70 and Rhythm Section team up once more to deliver their most ambitious remix package to date. Call outs to friends and family of the label and collective offered up a selection of some of the most exciting electronic music producers in the scene and the fruits of the collaboration have arrived.

The remix package continues 30/70’s practise of rebirthing their music in a contemporary club sound but this time takes that intention a step further, veering into unexpected and more experimental territory for the band, calling in a new era for their musical endeavours.

The record opens with a duo that need no introduction, label legends Chaos In The CBD work their magic on TLF, playing on Josh Kelly’s drawn out noir-esque sax notes and Allysha’s whispering tones to create a sultry and sophisticated house number in their typically infectious style.

Next up Utrecht native Carista enters with the sound of the Netherlands for a new wave electro trip fresh off her BBC Radio 1 residency.

Tornado Wallace takes us straight to a hot pink sunset on the long lost festival floor with his Red Face Mix of Tastes Like Freedom.

Closing out are the cerebral and ethereal sounds of Yu Su’s Midnight Blossom Remix, where the Kaifeng-born composer, DJ and sound artist continues her exploration of ‘fourth world’ ambience and left-field dance music.

Over the last few years, 30/70 have become something of a supergroup: with Allysha Joy, Ziggy Zeitgeist, Josh Kelly and Matthew Hayes all soaring as solo artists and band leaders. Individual talents aside, there’s nothing quite like the 30/70 collective united as one unstoppable force; and the synergy is
palpable in this tantalising tour-de force.

Incl. DJ Central & Priori Remixes!

It’s ten down for Haŵs, and what better way to celebrate than to have Adam Pits step up for ‘Element X’, a relentless, cutthroat EP that will no doubt leave you gasping for more. With three killer originals and two first-class remixes on the menu, the musical craftsman and his guests deliver a rally of transcendent dancefloor moments exploring the true power behind tension and release.

The inaugural ‘Gazza’ – made in memoriam of the talented selector and Adam’s late friend Alex T – is a murky, cunning opening containing a rumbling bassline that plumes outwards like the smog over a late-night crowd. ‘Solar Wave’ provides a trippy fusion of acid and euphoria, cresting and diving with an irresistible peak-time groove. On the titular ‘Element X’, the pace slows right down to a nonchalant meander, taking delicate melodies and slinging them above a surly-faced beat.

Moving onto the remixes, DJ Central dismantles the exultations of ‘Solar Wave’ and revises it into a techy, taut number with a new magnetic drive. Priori’s final offering is delightfully subversive to Adam’s sound; his take on ‘Element X’ is both pensive and anthemic, with a keen sense of space and the sort of epic mood that could easily crown a culminating set.

All in all, no nonsense goodness from Adam and his team. We couldn’t think of any other way to celebrate this milestone. Indeed, the night is always darkest before dawn.

Second E.P. by ANOTR & TOMAN on the newly established sub label No Art Red.

Both best selling artists of minimal deep tech on Beatport joined forces to release 4 heavy weight tracks exclusively on vinyl.

We are delighted to welcome for this 5th release, two great new talents!

The A side will be taking care of by Aymeric, a young producer from Lille.

The B side by the Frankfurt artist Benjamin Milz under is new alias EOC.

There is not much information to be found online about Bliss Inc., whose Hacking the Planet EP comes out on Radiant Love this summer. Beyond the fact they’re named Alexander and hail from Saint Petersburg, the project is cryptic – somehow this is fitting for a set of songs that could’ve fallen out of an obscure 1994 catalogue. This is the year of Robert Leiner’s Visions of the Past, Opus III’s Guru Mother, and Paul Oakenfold’s BBC-1 Essential Mix: an aesthetic region in which tech and new age spirituality braid together, a time before this synthesis reached Silicon Valley; while it still lingered in the rave, incredibly sincere, everything sounded kind of wet, and the efficiency of spirit was means to no end but a state of bliss.

What keeps Hacking the Planet from falling into pure nostalgia is its tuning – the palette of 1994 has been lifted and run through a delicate sensibility. The title track is a piece of buoyant, airy trance, with orbiting filters and a set of loopy, very vocal synths. It bumps along at 130 BPM, but feels slower because of the ease and clarity with which the track progresses. “Infinite” has got the aquatic motifs and soft, panning cymbals of a set-opener, or a comedown jam. The break that swings in after a minute-thirty feels less like a punctuation than another stream of sonics joining the flow. Picking up the pace a little, “Transitions” opens with a whir that could issue from a field of crickets or a stack of hardware. The entrance of the bassline was the first moment in this EP one could call nasty. But its drive and weight is also tempered, played against by a clever drum break, a run of piano keys, and the ethereal reverb-washed vocal sample we expect in a piece of classic mid-90’s trance – absent, however, is any kind of signalling to Goa, “exoticism” or indigenous aesthetics. (1994 was also the year of Jean Paul Gaultier’s Les Tatouages collection, which, for all its romantic nomadism and deft tailoring and syncretic spirit, has no need of a 2020 update).

Bliss Inc.’s songs stream, rather than track – one gets a sense that the elements flow in and out rather than ride a structure. Sansibar, who provides a remix of “Hacking the Planet” to round out the EP, is solidly a producer of tracks: often electro-derived ass-shaking material that hits, and hits in recognisable sections that progress serially. His version of the title cut brings in a hefty acid baseline, jungle-style stretched vocals, and kicks out of the 4/4 grid. But let there be no mistake, this is a producer also quite capable of coaxing delicacy out of hardware. The chimes of the lullaby-like breakdown halfway through the remix sound like nothing but a ghost in the machine.

New Kalahari Oyster Cult sublabel: Mineral Cuts!

4th release of Botanic Minds Original Series. 12" 180g Vinyl Only. Limited copies and no repress!

Here’s something that will get your senses tingling: a 4-track release by Colombia’s number one house prodigy: Felipe Gordon. His ‘Highly conductive rhythms’ EP has the talented producer showcasing the depths of his sound with classy compositions ranging from jazzy deep house to funky acid.

Felipe is someone who you might call a prolific producer: he’s had 6 releases last year on labels like Shall not Fade, Local Talk, Lost Palms and Toy Tonics and this year he’s already dropped a handful of releases including his spectacular album “A landscape onomatopeya”. Despite this crazy release schedule, Felipe has made sure to deliver a stunning record for Heist, something he’s been dreaming of ever since he started making music.

The lush opener ‘Highly smooth tone’ features the jazzy work of Cuban horn player Julio Rigal, who delivers a sublime performance with his crackling trumpet work reminiscent of St. Germain’s 2001 album ‘Tourist’. There’s a deep bass and fine synth work to give the track some weight, which balances out perfectly with the chopped keys and loose drums.

‘Highly deep and conductive’ takes things even deeper. It’s warm pads and crunchy sub bass support a snare loop that feels like a marching band on its way to the nearest club. The subtle vocal chops (You’re gonna miss my love) are on point in defining the melancholic character of the track. The mid-track arpeggio and bumpy synth hits make for a perfect changeover in a track that breathes deep house to the fullest.

On the flip, Felipe delivers the acid drum workout ‘Highly corrosive acid’. This might seem like unfamiliar territory for the producer, if it wouldn’t have been so expertly crafted. We can almost feel the sweat dripping off the walls of the clubs this will be played in. If this is acid Felipe Gordon style, please give us more.

The final track of the EP is ‘Highly rhythmic pace’: a classic bumpy deep house track with chopped keys, bells, chants and a fair amount of grunt in the bass. This is a groovy finish to a well-crafted and amazingly varied EP. We’re glad Felipe got to release on Heist and this might well be the start of something great.

Yours Sincerely,
Lars & Maarten

The sixth instalment from London imprint Nuances de Nuit continues their run of interesting electronic music with four new cuts from exciting artists, James Andrew, Nathan Pinder, The Trip and Tip Top.

Heading up the EP is Nothing But Nice co-founder, James Andrew. Following stand out releases on his own imprint and music on Voigtmann’s Subsequent he provides the groove-filled pumper ‘Reality Call’, packed with bouncy energy and heaps of attitude. Next up is Nathan Pinder’s ‘Stutter’, lush synth lines accompany spacey delays and energetic organ stabs, perfect for a mid-set energy raiser.
On the B-Side London duo The Trip drop a huge hit of peak time energy with ‘Big Trouble’ before Tip Top closes on ‘Control Alt Defeat’, a raw downtempo fusion of low swung analogue bass and spaced-out soundscapes.

In just a few years, Josh Butler has firmly established himself as one of house music's most revered talents. 2016 saw the launch of his label Origins, with Josh welcoming the likes of Marshall Jefferson, Todd Terry, Robert Owens and Santé to the imprint since, scoring his second Beatport #1 through his and Bontan's stand out 'Call You Back' in early 2017. Add to the equation EPs on Kaoz Theory, Rejected and Defected, collaborations with Kerri Chandler and Darius Syrossian, and remixes for industry heavyweights Carl Cox and Joris Voorn, and it's clear to see that Josh Butler is only just getting started. No wonder that Nick Curly and Gorge are very proud about his debut EP on their 8bit Records imprint.

Burnski's Constant Sound imprint continues its fine run of form via a rock-solid EP from prolific Romanian duo NTFO. Continuing the vibe of the pair's original recent releases, opener 'Metodic' sits somewhere between driving European tech house and chunky, melody-rich deep house - all restless bass, spacey aural textures, reverb-laden lead lines and crispy drum sounds. Flipside opener 'Adjuvant Register' opts for a warmer but no less impactful or hypnotic blend of tech-house and deep house elements, while closing cut 'Candva Cumva' is a forthright and funky take on the more intergalactic end of the tech-house spectrum.

The first solo EP on Nuances de Nuit comes from label co-founder, T. Jacques, featuring three original tracks and a remix from Small Hours boss, Youandewan.

The third entry into our catalogue is provided by our very dear Traumer. The frenchman has proven himself a true force in the electronic music community, seamlessly weaving his distinct sonic designs into memorable, ageless rhythms. His latest offering follows a prolific run of singleminded records, each one further developing on the minimal house theme he is laid out for himself. This EP features a condensation of those findings. Starting things off with >Diplo Douce Prima< and «Plastica» both explore the heady mindset to their fullest. Nerve tingling goodness for intimate listening experiences.

To celebrate 20 since inception, Sven Väth’s Cocoon Recordings is serving up a special 15 track collection that brings together new and exclusive tracks from artists that have been a huge part of the journey. Presented as a deluxe 6 x 12" box set with a silver foil cover and paper insert with individual sleeves and luminescent paint, this is a suitably spectacular collection that pays homage to one of techno's finest operations.
20 years is a long time in any facet of life, but in techno it is eons. The genre evolves so quickly that staying relevant for even half that time is some achievement, so to still be recognised as one of the genre's most iconic and influential labels after such an extended period is testament to the vision of its founder Sven Väth. The popular character, much loved DJ and always innovative creative force started out with an early rave techno sound back in the late eighties that he has steered into much broader realms ever since. Thanks to carefully A&Ring a mix of red hot new talents and plenty of his original pioneering peers, Väth has ensured Cocoon has always covered all points of the spectrum: there have been hundreds of thrilling dance floor 12"s, a treasure trove of full length albums that have brought plenty of detail and depth to techno and multiple mix series including the annual Sound of the Season which distills Ibiza's latest trends into two vital CDs, and the annual alphabet compilations which showcase the label's finest moments.
Then, of course, there have been the parties, which have taken many forms over the years, from selfrun festivals like Green and Blue & Cocoon in the Park to carefully curated label nights at the world's foremost clubs via, most famously, their flagship and globally recognised Monday night parties in Ibiza at super clubs such as Amnesia. These very much introduced the White Isle to techno and in the 20 years since the first party have become family gatherings that have solidified the sound's presence on the island for ever more, thanks to the world class line ups, out of this world production, colourful characters and fantastical themes that have made each session so legendary.
Cocoon's unique brand of techno has always been at the heart for the operation and now, these brand new and exclusive tracks confirm that once again. Rampa kicks off with the jittery broken beat techno of '2000' and Emanuel Satie keeps the melodic vibes alive with his wistful 'Departure' and then Diynamic label boss Solomun serves up a rare new production 'We Will Never Have Today Again' which is a dramatic and epic groove with majestic synth work lighting up the bold drums. Gregor Tresher slips into a more slick and funky drum work out with 'Nostalgia (is The Enemy) and Joseph Ashworth's 'Eavesdrop' reaches for deep space with its distant synth swirls and astral atmospheres. Pig & Dan very much came of age through their releases on Cocoon and here offer an intense cosmic workout with ‘Trauma', while US legend Josh Wink keeps it deep and heads down with his gritty roller 'Nuclei.' After lush techno trance from Ricardo Tobar comes a heavyweight collaboration between Tiga & Roman Flügel that is designed for those freaky late night hours and then exceptional minimalist Planetary Assault Systems gets you in a spin with his Mind melting cosmic melodies and pounding
drum rhythms.
