House Vinyl New Releases - News

After a string of well received releases on the likes of 22a and Alexander Nut's Hotep, Henry Wu steps forth with his most bold statement to date with 'Good Morning Peckham' on the Rhythm Section International Imprint.

Arguably one of the most hotly-tipped producers in the UK right now, Wu's broken compositions and deep jazzy keys have earned him plaudits from scene veterans as well as peers, all keen to see what Henry will do next.

With a refreshing take on rhythm and a virtuosic musicality born out of years of recording and touring as a session player, Henry Wu represents a brightly shining light in the already glowing London community.

Equally adept on the keyboard as he is on the MPC, on Good Morning Peckham, we are also given a further insight into the mind of Wu as he takes to the mic - toasting along to the soon-to-be-classic ' Croydon Depot' and spitting on the intro to the broken beat inspired 'Neezy'.
A South East Londoner born and bred, Henry's debut on Rhythm Section has been a long time coming and it seems that it was worth the wait as Henry presents 6 tracks of white hot intention.
Henry Wu is a name that we're going to hear a lot more of in the future....
Good morning Peckham!

BinarySound is back and welcomes three new faces to the imprint.

On the A-side, Frankfurter duo Cedric Dekowski and Felix Reifenberg from the infamous HardWorkSoftDrinks crew join the French label. They deliver a masterclass in sound crafting with the future classic Neptuning, that will tear any dancefloor, anytime. Pichler offers a warm sound designed for the afterhours, promising a trip back to everyone’s favorite Offenbach wood floor.

On the B-side, Dj Void signs his first appearance on a vinyl imprint with 2 heavy bass and energetic dancefloor bangers, infused with a melody you can already hear blaring through the club’s speakers.

Danzaikaki is proud to present its first Various artist which features all the label artists. Support from : Dave Ellesmere , Phil Weeks, Loco Dice , Marco Carola , Ilario Alicante ! ! !

Return the Unreleased series with 2 amazing tracks by John Beltran and Man-D.A....Melodic Detroit Techno !

The second Wex release is now up for preorder. A special VA featuring four artists, Lexeme, Mr. Projectile, Olesia Elfa, and Nella. Deep House, Techno, Acid & Ambient blending all together on this record

Edo Pietrogrande is the eclectic producer, architect, dj and sound engineer hiding behind P41.Low tide is a techno record which looks back to the past while foreseeing the future. Created while traveling through Cornwall, it holds progressive sounds with feet firm into the ground.The remix is signed by Rome's most known and appreciated DJ: Donato Dozzy. Hypnotic techno and 909, his trademarks.

The label Qentaro Records Germany supports worldwide enthusiastic talents of electronic music.
The first vinyl release with the artist Sam Aniken unites the Frankfurt House/Techno, paired with a deep, melodic and powerful atmosphere. The tracks "My Thoughts" and "Before" combine a melancholic atmosphere with soft sounds and deep vocals. The counterpart of the concept with the tracks "MioMio" and "Raw" is TechHouse-oriented and drifts with bass and rhythm.

Musically and emotionally, Superpitcher's third full-length studio album, The Golden Ravedays is a one sound autobiography that exhibits the skill, feeling and style that the artist has honed over a period of twenty years, musically, and forty-plus-years, emotionally.
And full-length it is:
The Golden Ravedays is an epic album of 24 tracks that was released in January 2017 and is stretching over 12 respective chapter albums during a one-year period.
The seventh piece of The Golden Ravedays puzzle will be released on Hippie Dance in July 2017.

Number 7 of the series introduces two further tracks of the sound adventure that Superpitcher is taking us on this year.


Side A features Andy, music made by Superpitcher in memory and admiration of a pioneer artist and his works. Andy Warhol looks a scream, Hang him on my wall, Andy Warhol, Silver Screen, Can't tell them apart at all, Andy walking, Andy tired, Andy take a little snooze, Tie him up when he's fast asleep, Send him on a pleasant cruise, When he wakes up on the sea, Be sure to think of me and you, He'll think, about paint and he'll think about glue, What a jolly boring thing to do. David Bowie's lyrics about Andy Warhol mirror the groovy yet deeply moving emotion of this track. The music Superpitcher imagined here is a pleasant cruise in itself and once you wake up from it, you will for sure think of Andy.
Side B features Yves. The track starts with a long introduction of harp music and then gently evolves into one of the more fragile and poetic pieces Superpitcher has created thus far for The Golden Ravedays record. Similar to Andy this track is dedicated to an artist, Yves Saint Laurent. What is clear in this music is that there is an intense understanding of the suffering Yves Saint Laurent lived throughout his life as an artist and fashion designer. As only Superpitcher can, he translated that emotion into this beautiful and touching piece of music.

New label, AGT Records, kick start their discography with a bang, reissuing a staple of the early 2000’s UK tech house scene.

Transparent Sound (UK electro veterans Orson Bramley and Martin Brown) have certainly been around the block a few times. The duo’s iconic hybrid of electro-funk and hypnotic techno was highly coveted in the 90’s and early 00’s, gracing seminal labels such as Groovepressure, Crayon and Electrix Records. By the time they turned to the infamous Surreal they were house hold names in the electro and techno scene, making this unique take on tech-house all the more significant.

The EP demonstrates the diversity of the duo’s influences perfectly, providing top-quality house tracks without sticking too much to a formula. In Mixes 1 and 2, steel-tipped percussion shimmers around slinky basslines oozing with groove, conjuring up nostalgic images of sweaty dancefloors packed to the rafters. A remix from legend James Harrison, AKA Subfunk, seals off this stellar release in his signature machine-funk sound.

It is designed for maximum dancefloor satisfaction, sounding as fresh today as it did nearly 20 years ago. The EP has found its way back onto the decks, All in Good Time.

After the success of the first A-sides compilation in 2012, Adam Beyer has decided its time to release another. With Adam's stature steadily growing as one of the leading talents in the Techno scene and the rise of Drumcode, the standard of demo's that have been sent to Adam have been top notch. Adam has now decided to release two compilations with 10 tracks each, consisting of tracks that Adam has tried and tested. There are also new artists that have been invited to release on Drumcode for this compilation and others who are a staple in Drumcode's core family. Combining both old and new talents Drumcode have come up with something unique and distinctive to make this two-part compilation something extra special.

Back in the game, Fantastic Man returns to Kitjen with a powerful EP of mind-bending, acid workouts. Solar
Surfing is a concise example of the Australian artist’s panache for psychedelically inspired house music with two
dance-floor heavy cuts preceding a contemplative, baseline driven slow jam. The hypnotic and fast paced title
track locks in and moves ever forward, whilst Native Power features the classic sound of Fantastic Man’s 303,
coupled cleverly with the sound of an extraterrestrial bird-song. A drop in tempo rounds off the release with
Avocado Conception, an expertly delivered exploration in slow, chugging nostalgia.'

Kellon returns with the 6th Spillway release - Tycho EP. After featuring on SPILL05, Neuron Network contribute to the label once again, this time with the opening track. Expect a varied collection of techno across the EP.

Martin Enke returns to his most enduring alias Lake People with a very special project… Building on the spotless reputation he’s developed on the likes of Mule Musiq, Uncanny Valley and Permanent Vacation; Lake People has launched his own label: Remote Scope.

Box with 4 releases coming from Michel de Hey. Originally released as Unknown Artist. Including remixes from Steve Rachmad, ROD and Windows.

This is the debut release for WORQ RECORDS. An independent label out of Chicago USA. The label was an idea because of how hard it is these days to classify tracks into either House or Techno let alone one of the tons of sub genres of the two. Loving both genres and not wanting to label tracks or records with one group or the other, WORQ RECORDS was created. This debut release on 12" vinyl allows for a selector to blend these tracks into a variety of different mixes.

QUINROK1 sets the pace for what the WORQ RECORDS sound will be. A blend of House/Techno/Minimal/DubTechno. Born, raised and bred with the Chicago House sound and the underground rave scene culturing and shaping the flavor of where his House/Techno sound is today. This 6 track 12" will have something for your mix! Huge deep kicks, snappy snares, hats and claps with fat bass grooves and soul samples, its a recipe for some bangers!!

From Detroit and passing thru Chicago on the Soul Research train, comes Titonton Duvante', a multi-faceted artist who has been in the US scene for over 15 years, and has been making the Motor City music scene proud ever since.
Recapitulate, EP vol1 is new and a pot of inspiration. Two tracks which mix Detroit grooves and sounds with a Chicago style rhythm. Recapitulate, produced with Christofer Rau, is experimental and ethereal. The EP ends with a Yotam Avni, a young and talented artist from Israel, who takes Recapitulate into

De Lichting is back for their second double vinyl album titled; 'Twee'. The collective showcases a genuinely sensitive and pure sound resulting in an emotionally charged album.

The A-side kicks off with Boris Acket & Kaap. The live and improvised performance 'De Tuin' starts as a percussive soundscape and evolves into light footed ambiance, which resonates to a designated chill-out space, followed by 'Verwar' of Eversines. A darker hedonistic cut thanks to its atonal pads and heavy but sensual low end. A polyrhythmic breakbeat is introduced, which releases the tension and clears all the grey clouds to its sonic spectrum.

Human Space Machine & queniv take over the B-side this time, working their way through an emotional techno journey with Human Space Machine's 'Feels' and the most apocalyptical techno banger we've heard from queniv so far called 'U.I.C'.

Switching records to the second vinyl, we start on the C-side with Boris Acket's 'Humming', a house anthem sure to jerk the tears of euphoric dancers. Continuing, three other cuts which are Nathan Surreal's 'Chaos In The Echoes'; a mental deep weapon, queniv's museum inspired experiment 'Kruller Muller' and 'Onvoorwaardelijk' by RDS. C4 lives up to its number; blowing up clubs with a lovely sensitive yet dangerous electro bomb of a track.

When the concluding side is put on, we're taken aback by Kaap's 'Hartzeer', a heart aching combo of 707 drums, grungy textures and a rolling 16th bass, which goes right in the feels. RDS is featured a second time on D2 with 'Haat & Liefde', resulting in the most acoustic sounding track on the compilation before we end with Eversines' '2Anticipate'. An ambient cut where the 303 acid synth has hardly ever sounded so soft, tender and more sincere than you'd expect. And so, the album is wrapped up and implies a feeling of a new start to the next compilation.

Alan Fitzpatrick makes a triumphant return to the scene-leading imprint this August. The typically bombastic three-tracker of explosive, crowd-moving techno opens with Love Siren packed with all the power and punch required to knock over festival crowds as it systematically builds and drops, this is one for the big open air stages. 'U Said U is a massively hyped track that has been the subject of huge fan-demand since it first featured on Beyer's Drumcode Radio in January. Rumours wraps things up in slightly more understated but non-the-less effective fashion with its drawn out, tension building intro mushrooming into a crescendo of sleazy chords and sparking melodies.

Repress!

‘Thief of Sanity’ is shapeshifting duo Animistic Beliefs’ debut on Brokntoys.

The 4 track EP is an ode to the past, drawing inspiration from political techno group Underground Resistance, as well as ancestral pan-tribalist music. Without compromising their signature Rotterdream sound, the dynamic duo deviates from their recklessly violent live-sets, tuning into more introspective and earthbound frequencies.

By means of hypnotic synthesizer and bursting drum machine workouts, Xakalele and rbf.linh take you through their melancholy filled world, sharing with you their worries, hopes and fears in the form of a tongue-tied protest.

Opulence is back, debuting the burgeoning Puerto Rican talent of Cerrot.Title track ‘Proclamació’ twists and turns through a deep, minimal journey as trippy R&B vocals, rolling grooves and glitched samples are laid over a subby bass - giving all the elements of undeniable heater.

Romanian man of the hour Cristi Cons is first up on the remixes, providing a skippier twist on the original full of springing synths and cerebral sounds to unlock minds and move bodies. Closing out proceedings, Maher Daniel brings a techier, driving, dancefloor bomb of a remix as the final weapon in OP007’s arsenal.

It’s lucky number 8 for Cardiff-based imprint Haŵs - and to mark the occasion, they’ve invited the riveting Jad & The to whip up a perfect storm for “Transorbital Express”. The five-track EP teems with lightheaded house and techno beats, from micro-detailed refrains to fervent show stealers.

The A-side offers a lavish yield, with the washed-out “Mastermind” rippling into a compelling bassline and a melodic sensation of bubbles cascading to somewhere unknown. “Transorbital Express” evolves upon the delicate flair, spacing out into its own groove like a dancer becoming increasingly lost in the moment. Meanwhile, “Way To Kill” takes on the role of a subtle tyrant, delivering a charmingly malevolent feel with its menacing synths and warped vocals.

On the flip-side, the chunky “Space Infinitum” launches into attention, carving through the ozone with a woozy blend of bassline and kick drums that chug with an enthralling arrogance. “Outer Planet” closes proceedings as a driven statement of intent, taking a straight-forward groove and offsetting it with eccentric, off-beat inflections.

If you listen right from beginning to end, you’ll end up somewhere at the edge of the universe. Looking towards the future with a diverse yet consistent approach, the label ensures through their thoughtful choice of artists that no matter the direction of their output, it’s one that’s set with a clear bearing by all involved.

Pearson Sound returns to Hessle for the first time in 5 years, with an EP for clubs and warehouses varied in tone and intensity. 'Alien Mode' orbits around a sledgehammer breakbeat, processed for impact on contemporary dancefloors whilst referencing the sonic palette of early hardcore and jungle, with its time-stretched vocals and restrained FX stabs. 'Cobwebs' flips a percussion sample, officially licensed from Nigerian musician Adewale Ayuba, into a head-spinning sub-fuelled roller at 155bpm. The understated ecstasy of 'Everything Is Inside Out' closes the EP with its elastic arpeggios and yearning synth lines. DJ support includes Four Tet, Objekt, Jamie xx & Daphni.

Kerri Chandler's Kaos Theory returns with the musical minds of Voyeur providing the heat via two new originals, alongside a thumping tech house remix from man of the moment Desert Sound Colony.

‘Acid Test’ is a pounding 303-laden warper, laced with wiggling synths and lo-fi vocal samples. On the B side ‘Bits’ is full of low-end weight, bumping kicks and contorted melodies as Desert Sound Colony rounds things off with a trademark techy remix of ‘Bits’.

Influential Spanish artist Coyu is stepping out on his own Suara label with a long overdue debut album entitled ‘You Don’t Know’ that is going to shatter all conceptions about him. Due for release this September 23rd, the 16 track affair showcases his broad range and takes in collaborators like Moby, Lazarusman, The Horrorist, Thomas Gandey and many more.

Coyu quickly rose through the ranks to become one of the most prominent names in underground dance music. The Spanish man famous for his love of cats has established his Suara label as a go-to outlet for the most essential house and tech tracks, as well as releasing his own expressive grooves on Cocoon Recordings, Diynamic, Bedrock Records, Turbo Recordings and MORE. Now he really stretches his legs across a fantastic full length album that goes way beyond the dance floor and shows many new sides to his sound. The artist has been working on it since 2012 and aims to show people that whatever they think about him is wrong.

Says the artist himself, “the album is named ‘You Don't Know’ because many people have a preconceived idea of who I am. Until now, maybe I wasn't smart enough to show them my roots, what I love and what I can offer to the music. I'm not just a DJ or a producer who can play or make grooves – I love many different genres and many different kinds of music. With this album I want to change that preconception.”

The album kicks off with a dramatic spoken word from legendary vocalist Lazarusman before exploring low slung and sleazy grooves on ‘The Three Chimney’, floaty light melodic and dreamy house on ‘Out of The Pain’ and more club focussed but just as dreamy fair on ‘We All Try’ with Mike Leary.

Proving he can do everything from poolside gems to peak time techno, ‘Fear Is Gunna Be A Player In Your Life’ is one to get you in a trance with its sonar like synths and rolling deep space drums. Thomas Gandey aka Cagedbaby then steps up to guest on ‘1+1’ which is a hands in the air piano anthem to pump the party, and ‘Wanna Do Right, Wanna Do Wrong’ is a techno cut with brilliantly energetic drum programming and a big, perfectly placed vocal sample.

Switching up the vibe is ‘I May Be Dead, But One Day The World Will Be Beautiful Again’ with none other than dance legend Moby. It is a heavenly track with break beats, angelic melodies and a celestial feel that leaves you refreshed. The second half touches on raved-up drum & bass, gurgling minimal techno and harder techno with mind melting acid synths. The Horrorist contributes to the banging ‘My First Pill’, while the techno journey continues with ‘Unite’ featuring Gabriella Vergilov before the album finishes on the fluttering ambient track ‘Insania’, with mad church bells and manic percussion all bringing things to a close in style.

This is a broad, adventurous album that covers plenty of music ground and takes you on a true electronic trip from one of dance music’s most accomplished names.

Danny Howells returns to Gorge & Nick Curly's label 8bit with his 3. release and shows again that he's the big master of sensual house grooves.

Welcome to 2018 !!!

We at MOTHER are super excited to welcome back DILBY, our homie from New Zealand who is now based in Berlin, for a banging new EP.

THE PATH is a chunky, driving slab of house that has been tearing up dance floors since it hit our inbox. The beat is constructed of big analog drums fused with ethnic percussion and tribal vocal chops then underpinned by a heavy sub bass. But, the real star of the show here is that flute hook, so catch every time!

Rounding out the EP is KICKIN IT, a funky grooving house weapon that is sure to bring smiles to the face of everyone on the floor! Dilby takes a modern house aesthetic and fuses it with a catchy throwback piano riff and ultra memorable vocal hook to deliver true hands in the air bomb.

Italian duo, Giacomo Godi and Emiliano Nencioni, better known as SUPERNOVA, debut their first MOTHER RECORDINGS release with their latest two-tracker EP, 'The Joy'.

Kicking off with their headline track, 'The Joy' pits together a hard-hitting house beat and walking bassline against a set of dark warbling synth sprays. Here, the duo truly show off their impressive work with the synthesizer, juxtaposing soulful acapella gospel licks with a bundle of morphing synth lines that effortlessly rumble and groan throughout.

Fat kicks, trashy hi's and spacey synths open up 'Reflections', lighting up the dancefloor from the very start. Here, Supernova step it up a notch, flipping their dark range of warbling synth lines into a set of warm and dreamy funk pads that endlessly purr underneath a sturdy bassline. A range of elusive vocal howls and cheeky funk melody licks polish the track off around the edges, intensifying in all the right places to create some satisfying releases.

Having begun in spring 2019 with the Moment EP, featuring her international hit ‘Starry Night’, Peggy Gou continues the story of Gudu Records with an EP from one of dance music’s most prolific artists, DMX Krew. Closely associated with Aphex Twin’s Rephlex label, Ed DMX emerges once more from the underground with four sublime tracks of charismatic electronics, as potent and unmistakable as any music produced across his three-decade discography. For the uninitiated, opening track ‘CJ Vibe’ is the perfect, floor-focused distillation of DMX Krew’s timeless studio powering into psychedelic life, as a spaced out, playful synth line holds fort through a detailed house music trip. ‘DXIOO’ heads further down the techno wormhole - a rich, deep ballad of entangled DX100 and TR909 that expands to overwhelming machine funk. On the flip, ‘Don’t You Wanna Play?’ strikes immediately to deliver the EP’s most suitably playful cut, pairing irresistible modulations with sharp toms and hugely satisfying hits of cowbell, revisiting the frantic atmosphere imprinted within the carefree rave heritage of the DMX Krew project. Finally, ‘110 Series’ dials down the tempo while retaining the high-spirits for an inspired composition that sees Ed take his numerous synths on a skilful and melodic moonwalk around the studio, then onwards to the dancefloor.

Exciting new electronic project E&D burst onto the scene in stunning style with the exhilarating ‘Not Enough’ and ‘Runaway’, released on FCR on 14th June and backed by remixes from acclaimed electronic producers Mall Grab and Ali Berger.

London based E&D have unleashed two scintillating vocal cuts which have UK clubbing culture at their very core, featuring classic Garage influences. The theme of heartbreak runs throughout both ‘Not Enough’ and ‘Runaway’ with an emphasis on harmony and melody which will be integral to the identity of the E&D project.

The deep and atmospheric ‘Not Enough’ presents a beautiful yet powerful female vocal whose tone and expression perfectly emphasises the message of lost love. E&D perfect balance this with contrasting shimmering and stabbing beats to produce a track that already has the hallmarks of a classic.

‘Runaway’ is an up-tempo, vintage-sounding UK Garage themed cut with poignant undertones, as the gorgeous female vocal again mourns a relationship which has moved on.

For the remixes, E&D have called upon two of electronic music’s most respected producers – Mall Grab and Ali Berger. Both offer a completely fresh perspective to the originals. With his remix of ‘Not Enough’ celebrated Australian Producer Mall Grab takes the original into deeper, tougher territory, stripping back and lowering the vocal and adding intense, almost tribal, percussion alongside vintage acid house beats.

FCR favourite Ali Berger also takes his working of ‘Runaway’ deep into the underground, emphasising the bass, cleverly layering the vocal and building to a peak-time floor-filler.

Harvey McKay is back on the track, and stronger and harder than ever before! His last release for Cocoon climbed to the top position in the Beatport charts and stayed there for quite some time and it was about time that the drumcode- and soma-recordings producers returns to Cocoon.

And the wait was worth it as he manages it to bang the drums even more with his new release! 'Cinnamon Kiss' brings us spicey cinammon flavour for the colder days & nights that need to be heated up in all the clubs again after this super hot (but short) summer. A massive tech-house-tune with cool oldskool house chords and cool break downs that will put raverhands up in the air. However there is even more here waiting for you as 'Push It' does what the names says and pushes the beat even higher! This tune is energy loaded and will power your legs to dance, dance and dance. A pumping techno monster that even features a little D-Shake sample for the ones who know. Pure Testosterone and a clear message: Get on the floor and get crazy! One for the big raves!

If It’s Love is a joyous celebration of a soulful house sound that came to prominence in the 90s, where vocals were the heart and soul of a record and the vibe was unashamedly positive. But more than being simply an homage, If It’s Love combines the heady, feel-good vibe of those classic records with production values of the present, delivering a timeless record that will more than hold its own on the sonically rich dancefloors of 2020.

Few modern house records champion original vocals, and even fewer can boast the incredible amount of talent involved in the writing and production of If It’s Love. Laura Davie is part of the House Gospel Choir, a live group and production team that have been performing their awe-inspiring shows around the world for the last six years, and have worked alongside the likes of Stormzy, The Kooks, Annie Mac, Riton, MNEK, Wretch 32 and Gorgon City. Meanwhile The Melody Men are three equally talented women - Amy, Dyanna and Lou – who have written, rapped and sung on house bangers from producers like Kideko, Mason and Tough Love.

Alongside a stellar line-up of vocalists, the track is even further enhanced by the talents of Davos on keys. He is renowned for his ability to play authentic riffs from the golden era of House and over a few years, he’s quickly risen to fame with his online viral video clips of him replaying 90s classics on his keyboard.

“With If It's Love I really wanted to produce a record that had the fundamental assets of all good song production: melody, hooks, meaningful lyrics and a great arrangement an art I feel is being lost right now in house music. So the challenge was to make a big, soulful, vocal house record – the kind that I fell in love with in the mid-90’s – but do it in such a way that would translate in the here and now. I also wanted to make a record that I could actually play at any point in one of my headline sets, as well as working in my soulful sets.

“To say that working with Laura Davie from the House Gospel Choir and the Melody Men Dy, Amy and Lou was a dream could be the understatement of the year. We instantly clicked and were passionate about the same musical points of reference Throw in Davos on keys and BOOM you have the dream team! Let’s make 2020 the year they refer to as the year that songs came back.” Mark Knight

Saved Records founder Nic Fanciulli returns to Rekids with a tough two-track release entitled ‘Focus’.

British Grammy-nominated producer and globally renowned DJ, Nic Fanciulli has prevailed as one of the most sought-after house and techno artists of the last decade with a global touring schedule, including launching his well-received debut Ushuaïa Ibiza residency ‘Dance or Die’ last summer to add to his years at the iconic Space Ibiza. While releasing on many of the most respected labels including RCA, Anjunadeep, Crosstown Rebels, Rekids, Circus and Play It Say It, he crossed paths with Rekids when remixing Radio Slave’s seminal ‘Grindhouse’ back in 2012, but it was only until last year that Fanciulli dropped a full solo outing on the label with his superb ‘Understand’ release.

Two consecutive #1's on the Beatport Top 100 has taken this special series of releases from strength to strength. Combining Techno's new breed of heavyweights with the perfect classic track, is a formula Renaissance are getting right time after time. Following on from Solomun and Tale Of Us's outstanding contributions, Renaissance turn their attention to the ever-evolving Maceo Plex for a remix of Remake's iconic 'Blade Runner'; a track featured prominently on the very first Renaissance compilation in 1994.Eric Estornel aka Maceo Plex has become well known for his mind-bending Techno sets and releases under various guises such as Maetrik. 2011 saw the Ellum Audio boss, release his debut album under Maceo Plex on Crosstown Rebels, 'Life Index' was met with critical acclaim and propelled the North American to success. Leading to him starting his own label Ellum Audio with a distinct Techno sound, whilst releasing his own music it's served as tool to champion those around him seeing releases from upcoming acts such as Agents Of Time and Shall Ocin.Speaking about the ReMix Maceo Plex, explains his love for the Neo-Noir Science Fiction Film Blade Runner's soundtrack and the inspirations behind the track:
'The original Vangelis, soundtrack for the movie Blade Runner is my all-time favourite cinema soundtrack and one of my favourite records from the early 90's is the cover 'Blade Runner' by Remake.' - Maceo PlexThroughout time artists, musicians and designers have all paid homage to the cult classic movie and its soundtrack which has inspired the minds of many. Now taking his opportunity through the ReMix collection, Maceo Plex has delivered a timeless edit for the Renaissance collection series. Injecting the signature Maceo Plex sound with pulsating bass lines and futuristic synth tones stabbing their way to the breakdown where we're met with all too familiar piano melody; transforming the original cover into a prime-time atmospheric weapon. 'I wanted to make my own version to honour this special music and add a little something personal in this new version' - Maceo Plex With the previous editions in the ReMix, both hitting #1 in the Overall Beatport Chart within a week of release, the Maceo Plex remix will be eagerly anticipated.
The vinyl release also contains Remake's original version as the B side.

After the unbridled success that was "Volkwein', Super Flu's collaboration with The Dortmund Philharmonic, the always on point Monberry label now revisits the package with the help of some fine contemporary remixers, namely Kollektiv Turmstrasse, Monkey Safari and Bebetta.

Super Flu, aka Herzblut Recordings regulars and German pair Felix Thielemann & Mathias Schwarz, really conjured up some magic with the original so these remixes, which reinterpret in fine Style, are more than welcome.

First up are Kollektiv Turmstrasse, a rare act that infuse their sound with something more - extra soul, depth and meaning. On their remix of the title track, they go for a trademark deep, brooding and slowly unfolding vibe with subtle synth modulations, buried drums and a rising sense of tension.

The curious and off kilter German duo Monkey Safari are up next. First they rework 'Bratzke' with a sensitive sense of touch. Underlapping, rubbery drums roll below churchy and hymnal chords. Softly spoken vocals add intimacy and you can see this one really making for quite a moment on the right dance floor. Secondly, they serve up a digital bonus remix of the same track that makes less use of the vocal and places plenty of emphasis on their lush arrangement and true sense of musicality.

Lastly we have Bebetta, a playful producer who infuses her music with charming melody and a real sense of personality. She has also recently won the Tresor Newcomer Award for her impressive DJ sets around Berlin. Her version of 'Volkwein' is patient and spacious. Glowing harmonically it soothes mind body and soul with playful patterns and clever use of filters.

This EP is an elegant and magical release that proves house music can be so much more than a physical and functional thing, and can instead stir real emotion when in the right hands.

Boris Bunnik aka Conforce returns to Delsin for his fifth album on the label. Across eight tracks he delivers a wide range of styles yet keeps the ethereal and textural aesthetic of his sound recognizable at all points. His atmospheric approach combined with razor sharp percussion and intricately programmed synths make "Dawn Chorus" one of his most adventurous albums to date. Flirting with his Versalife moniker at times, this album leans to his experimental works, strongly optimized for dance floors using his unique sounddesign skills and unstoppable drift to reinvent himself.

Throw' by Paperclip People is reissued, accompanied by LCD Soundsystem's sublime and inventive cover on the flip. Perhaps the best known release from Carl Craig's long-running alias, 'Throw' is instantly recognisable to the day; a joyous distillation of Craig's house, techno and disco nous, as a chugging, organ-led bassline leads to a sensational breakdown. Once a favourite of LCD Soundystem's live set, the flip of the record captures the now Grammy-winning US group performing a studio-recorded cover, one that instantly, naturally captures the original solid groove, while adding shades of their post-punk approach.
