House Vinyl New Releases - News

Digital Rain Systems hail from Winnipeg and their music presents a perfect halfway point between the lounged-out house of Vancouver and the more ethereal beats bubbling up from Montreal. The project started as a way for Cole Woods and Jory Hasselmann, both members of the band Human Music, to explore their budding love for house, techno and ambient music. The result—simply titled "Vol 1."— sounds like a duo discovering decades' worth of electronic music all at once. They list Larry Heard, 808 State and Windham Hill Records as influences for a sound that skirts the edges of classic techno, dusty house, dub, electro and New Age music. Those might be standard influences these days, but Digital Rain Systems put them together in a far from standard way. Woods and Hasselmann’s recording techniques stay true to their live music roots: recorded off-the-cuff in a single take straight to tape from a BOSS mixer. The songs are built around samples and fastened to heavy, bucking basslines and twinkly chords that come from their modest collection of hardware. It's a rough-and-tumble sound that recalls the early work by Canadian acts like D. Tiffany and Aquarian Foundation but is very much their own. Take the plunge on this adventurous spread of audio. You’ll be glad you did

The latest drop on Aesthetic comes from Gruia, a Romanian producer with serious credentials thanks to his recent appearance on Sonet. "Neutron Starlet" is a trippy, playful minimal tech house workout with zippy sounds darting all over the mix. "Din Eter" gets into a more pronounced swing, and uses a sustained pad to create an ethereal mood that should inject some spiritual energy into the party. "Jalea Viului" keeps things steady and rolling, but there's still space for flamboyant FX buried in the mix. "Un Vechi Inceput" finishes the record off on a tense note, using minor keys to keep you on your toes without slouching on those all-important wiggles and squiggles to keep things funky.

San Francisco’s Manjumasi makes its first foray into wax with the vinyl-only release of History Ate Itself by San Francisco producer and label alumnus R. Fentz. First up on the A-side is the title track - a complex and textured piece, full of intricate percussion and sonic detail. The track evokes a sense of journey, with synth pads building and working through stages of crescendo and release. A percussive, punchy bassline holds steady throughout, giving a sense of time pushing ever-forwards.


Next up on the AA is Glitter, a more light-hearted number with a friendly and inquisitive disposition. As a counterpoint to the urgency and insistence of History, here R. Fentz uses delicate, gentle touches to create an inviting, warm atmosphere. The bubbly groove has a delightfully playful bounce that washes over the listener, with sparkling synth details float over the silky groove as the track works its way forward.

On the flip side, Ukrainian producer Silat Beksi takes on remix duties and delivers a supremely heady and tasteful reworking of Glitter. His version builds a soft bed of pads over a punchy groove. A very tasty dub-filtered synth groove slowly works its way into the mix. The result is a complex and organic sonic tapestry with no shortage of sparkle and shine, but plenty of subterranean depth. Yet another extremely solid offering in this sought-after producer’s vinyl-only catalog.

The Second Vinyl Release Of Mdm39 Is A Various Artist Ep Where The Label Stays True To Themselves And Their Pledge To - "support Your Local Talents". For The D.f.ü. Ep, Four Promising Artists Come Together, Each With A Unique Style But All With One Thing In Common - A Relationship With The Magdeburg Scene. With Florian's "rush" The A-side Starts Fast. Straight And Uncompromising, The 909 Percussion & Deep Melodies Make The Dancefloor Dream. The A2 Track Is A Considered 7:46 Min Slow Burner With Deep Dub Echoes. Meditation Stuff Here From Tommes. Renard's Trippy Deep-house Tune,"visit Your Mother" Creates Spherical Atmospheres And Pumping Lines Invading From His Soul To Your Feet. The B2 Delivers Eros Miguel. His "tribute" Is An Authentic Deep Bass Line Monster, Rounding Off This Versatile Ep.

Currently causing a stir with their tracks that sit coquettishly astride the House/Techno divide, Super Rhythm Trax welcomes Black Girl / White Girl to the family.

“5XXXI” will delight fans of stripped back and bleepy, raw minimal funk, sounding like an updated and three dimensional version of Detroit’s DBX whilst oozing it’s own personality.

On remix duties Luca Lozano and DJ Steve step up and twist the track around, creating an ode to Sheffield, channelling bleeps and bass in a manner that could easily have seen this release sitting comfortably alongside purple sleeved classics in 1990.

Funky house

RB super proudly presents: MIM SULEIMAN! The Zanzibar born and Sheffield based singer/songwriter/performer made quite a name for herself on the afro-beat stages of this world with her mixture of East African vocals and percussive traditions.

Back with another instalment from the mysterious TZU imprint. Following in the footsteps of previous releases, this release looks to bring 4 upfront underground cuts but this time adding some vocal flavour. This release is sure to follow in the footsteps of all previous TZU records. Limited to 300 copies.

Athens of the north is not just here to release great music but to support our artist development and experimentation, to this end we always try to bring good people together to work on new music.

This LP fuses two massive talents, for the first time to AOTN we introduce House and Techno legend Linkwood, joining him is one of the |UKs most respected Jazz Artists Greg Foat, who will need no introduction to AOTN fans.

'Linkwood & Foat' is the first LP to be recorded in the new 'Athens of the North Studio', which was designed and built specifically for our artists so that they can create without the time pressures or expenses of studio hire elsewhere.
With no fixed plans, no rules or expectations, the pair relaxed in the new studio and started making music. The result is very special indeed.

Linkwood had just returned from walking in the wilds of an Ibiza summer and Greg had similarly been immersed on the sun drenched south coast of the Isle of wight. This freedom and sense of space saturates the grooves of the LP juxtapositioned against a deeper late night basement club feel they both love so much, the pull between nightlife and the freedom of nature.

It's extroversion and introversion, the freedom and escapism of the two seemingly opposing environments permeates this recording.

Following our deep & dubby vibes, this time are our friends from Slovakia, Red meat therapy, as usual, no digital promotion and limited edition.

Unic unveil their second sub-label Pământ, opening up a new vein of sonic exploration for the Aussie outfit. Big brother to it’s sister label Apă, Pământ is named for the earth and as such is set to delve deep into grounded, rock solid rhythms bristling with raw elements & sonorous effects. Their debut release sees Unic call on local Australian talent & modular specialist Venda. Having recently received rave reviews for his ‘Ovio’ Ep on Modeight Records, the Sydney based producer hits his stride across 3 riveting slices of minimal, lacing them with eerie vocals and trippy pensive flourishes.

Dom Trojga bounces into 2020 with an EP beautifully crafted by one of Warsaw's finest young talents - 2shy. Best known for his work as one half of the burgeoning duo Private Press (of Indigo Area & REKIDS fame), Night Conclusion is his long-awaited solo debut. Citing late 90s US house luminaries and Polish underground hiphop as some of his main influences (WSP's deep classic Faktem Jest was an actual reference during mixing), 2shy combines deep sensibility, great skill and genuine vehemence across the four tracks, telling a story that blends right into the greater narrative of house music, while adding to it its very own emotional touch. To use other words, Night Conclusion is a tender slammer, and does it good for DJs, dancers, lovers and night-time dreamers alike. The label art is an acrylic painting by Micha? Ratajczak, whose work we admire greatly. We've only just begun - look out for more Dom Trojga!

Daniel Sanchez is back to Bad Barbie with an astonishing four track release named Kaddara EP. On the A Side we have Bara Groove first, a fantastic Live Jam session that express nothing else than the creativity, soul and talent of Daniel Sanchez as DJ/Producer. This track presents a superb and sophisticated groove that can easily ignite the crowd at any dance floor with its energy and vibe. As a second track from this side we have Slick Thin Version, which is nothing else than a great No Kick Tool that works as support for any long mix to create an especial moment of tension during the blend of two or more tracks at the same time. Over the B Side we have Dusty MicroHead as first, which is beautiful long run of pure micro-house with a subtle hypnotic vibe that slowly evolves into a fantastic sonic experience with a stunning low-end work. And for last is Spacey, a Dub infused track extracts sounds from intricated resonances, synths and intriguing vocal reflections immersed in strong atmospheric reverbs. A truly master piece from Daniel that shows the true versatility of this Amsterdam based legend.

Our first release of 2020 is from Nachtbraker. 'Fatoe Morgana' has a sound that draws from obscure dutch techno and trance as well as vintage UK tech house with a maturity and class of an artist who understands how to move a dancefloor, the Night Hawk's latest release will prick up the ears of those that have come before him as well as let his previous listeners know where he's headed.

Tim Green will be returning to Cocoon for his first release on the label since March 2016, with an atmospheric new dual single. 'Echo/They Want Us To Fall Down' is the first single from his
forthcoming debut album and is set for release on 26th March, out on vinyl as an album teaser. A cinematic production offering heavy shades of emotion, led by deep chords and rattling percussive sweeps, the release precedes Tim's debut album 'Her Future Ghost'. Set for release in April, the single is a teaser of what is to come from the expectation-defying producer.

Tim first made his production debut on four:twenty in 2006, going on to release on Dirtybird and Get Physical before Cocoon tapped the young producer for his first EP on the label in 2011. Whilst the prolific studio head has continued to experiment on other respected labels such as Lee Burridge's Get Weird label and Cityfox, Cocoon and Sven Vath have helped Tim's productions reach the biggest dancefloors in Ibiza and across the globe - so it's fitting he returns to this dance institution for his debut
album. Clad with loop pedals and menacing synths, 'Echo/They Want Us To Fall Down' embodies TimGreen's approach as a fiery live DJ, he's been tapped by Sven Vath to play at Cocoon events
around the globe (Amnesia Ibiza, Dockyard Festival, Mysteryland, Parookaville, off Sonar showcase at Pacha Barcelona) as well as solo at some of the world's most respected clubs, Panorama Bar, WOMB
Tokyo, Fabric London and Rex in Paris to name just a few. Now an internationally established and respected name, the release of 'Echo/They Want Us To Fall Down' is just the beginning of an exciting new chapter in Tim Green's career.

Italian duo Glowal land on TAU with a stunning four-track EP. Fresh off the back of ‘My Computer’ their huge collaboration with label owners Adana Twins, which dropped on Diynamic recently and went straight into the Beatport Top 10. Glowal were launched into the limelight when their track ‘Cries’ picked up support from industry heavyweights including Dixon, Âme, Tale Of Us, Laurent Garnier and more. Since then they’ve dropped one bomb after another with releases on labels such as Innervisions, Sapiens, and Siamese. Now they’re bringing their unique magic to TAU!
The title track kicks off this EP, a long-running, emotive piece entitled ‘A.I. Talk’. The digitised vocal speaks about humans destroying nature - a very apt track in light of the damage being done to Earth and its climate right now. The bass bubbles away while a sobering motif keeps the mood somewhere between melancholy and optimistic. It’s an epic, mesmerising cut that will lift dancefloors.
Next up is ‘Ram’, which has an understated intro with sombre bass writhing under a tense high-pitched buzz. As the track starts to unfold, an unusual melody shivers above the low end. Steadily Glowal increase the pressure, turning up the intensity until we enter a short breakdown and the track continues to whistle its unique melody.
Track three is ‘Parallel People’, a dark film-noir-esque cut with a spoken word vocal that tells a story throughout the whole track. The warped, mysterious voice is eerie yet compelling, supported by a percussion-heavy instrumental that creates a rousing atmosphere. It’s deep, murky and totally enchanting. Glowal create a truly macabre cut with this one.
Closing the EP is ‘Crystal’, a morose cut with gentle keys and a subdued atmosphere. While the kick drums pump this one along, the sorrowful main melody taps into your deepest emotional centre and conjures up memories of the past. This is a sublime piece of electronica that grows and develops unraveling its heartrending narrative.
Glowal’s unique style is evident on all four tracks of this stunning EP, it’s full of emotion, depth and powerful atmospherics. Inspired!

Rising UK talent Jamie Trench returns to Roush to kick start 2018 as he delivers his latest EP 'The Foundation', whilst Robsoul boss Phil Weeks steps up on remix duties.

With releases on the likes of Tsuba, VIVa Music, Kaluki Musik and his own Roots For Bloom imprint, Jamie
Trench's career continues to go from strength to strength, gaining support from the likes of Steve Lawler, Santé
and Sidney Charles through to Brawther, Cinthie and Move D. Having entered into the industry at an early age,
Jamie soon found himself playing at some of Ibiza's most prestigious venues including Space and Zoo Project
and Privilege, going on to play closer to home at The Warehouse Project and Ministry of Sound. Here we see
Trench return to Roush to deliver four fresh productions, whilst Parisian Phil Weeks offers up a classy remix on
the flip.
Title cut 'The Foundation' opens the EP and sees Trench layer organic percussion shots and delicate hats
under an ever-evolving synth lead, before 'Blow The Back Out' unveils a drum infused workout, laying down
tough rolling kicks amongst quirky vocal shots.
Next up, 'Turn You Around' transports listeners to sunnier territories as an influx of bright pads and soulful vocal
hooks work in tandem with garage tinged interludes, whilst Weeks' interpretation introduces the Frenchman's
trademark skipping drums and effortless groove throughout.
For digital purchasers, Trench also offers a dubbed out version of the title track as 'The Dubnation' skillfully lays
the focus on a low-slung groove line and murky undertones.

Our first analysis of frequencies from the void above resulted in a message relayed from a planet ravaged by magnetic storms! "FTVA001" compiles four cuts by veteran artist Muten with an exceptional take on acid house, techno and electro, including a collaboration with Nacho CL.

On the A-Side, the release opens with Las Piedras Crew, a fast-paced thriller with a driving acid synth. A2, Sucubo, an acid house extravaganza filled with electric ambients and textures coupled with a driving groove. On the B-Side we have Inverisón Polar, an exceptional take on classic trance style techno perfect for a high-energy dancefloor.

Closing the release is the collab track Quasar, a gloomy but powerful track showing the best of the uruguayan old and new schools, showcasing nothing but talent and exceptional sound design.

"Accept the existence of the void as a real entity, in which atoms can move and rearrange themselves"

Tantum invites you to a breathtaking ecstasy on the new Monaberry 058. The mysterious growth called Bonsai EP also takes root directly with the first track "Into Yam" on the dancefloor and fills body and soul with energetic groove and flourish sounds.

The original, created by Tantum, Samer Soltan & Oluhle, is also sent into a world of juicy breaks and sweaty expressions of love by label owners Super Flu in a detailed, powerful and club-oriented remix spaceship.

In a subtle 80ies colouring Dürerstuben are driving the track "Into Yam" with their realmix through the landscape and souped it up with vocoders and interlaced breaks, to whiz to the sunrise with piano chords and analog synths.

On the track "Bonsai" Tantum combines sharply lit synths, deep drums and filigree percussions with a soft groove that slowly but surely captivates all senses.

The lake reflects the light of the moon and stars, but says nothing about its own depth.

After a break on the production side, Andrey Zots (Arma17 and the Volks resident, also a long-standing figure in Moscow's underground music scene) comes back to blend genres: A-side shines with explicit structures set against simpler instrumental lines and emotional melodic drives; B-side pairs a couple of tech-house tunes with quirky synths sliding through some fluttering melodies. Both has special sound design yet spark different moods; one punchy with a drop of acid on top, the other floating through space, all three perfect for the morning dance floor vibe.

Zurich based Active Life Worldwide is bringing you four certified house bangers approved by dancers across the globe.

DJ Sommer s The Lost Tapes Vol.3 demonstrates the ferocity of the labels output with four heavy floor bombs.

Active Life Worldwide prove that house music is alive and well and ensure the heat will remain at a maximum and the records will come out boiling.

Another quickstrike from Glasgow's Ultimate Hits.
Screen printed sleeve, 300 copies, no repress, pure belters only.

Jedi Jet graced us with their presence on Mo's Ferry more than once... most recently with their mini album 'Little Things' including remixes. Somehow, the two Croats always make the right combination of rocking house grooves with funky Frickelsound treasures, which they gather at the wayside. With 'Two Side Story", they celebrate their minimalistic weirdness on a fully packed 4-tracker 12inch. UKbased producer Tom Ellis (Trimsound, Minordust) contributes an easy-going, reduced, but tremendously swinging remix of the title track. The flip continues with quirky rhythms supported by a punchy kick drum. It simply rocks!
