House Vinyl New Releases - News

Matt Edwards' reissue label R-Time Records presents 'After Dark' this September with three tracks from Mark The 909 King.

Following reissues of excellent music by Sir Lord Commix, FBK and Sanasol (Thor & Yagya), Rekids offshoot R-Time Records now presents definitive cuts from Mark The 909 King. Debuting with the timeless 'Can You Dig It!' on Sex Trax in '94, the producer went on to release via a number of New York house legend DJ Duke's labels throughout the mid-nineties. A huge fan of DJ Duke since the 90s, Matt Edwards even held a Sex Mania night at Berghain in 2009 featuring a rare DJ performance from the Duke himself.

Alongside tracks by Roy Davis JR and Trackman (Jon Cutler), 'After Dark' featured as part of a VA release on the label DJ Exclusive, whilst 'Into Space' landed on Rated X Records, and 'The Loft' appeared on the 'Can You Dig It' album via Power Music Records.

'After Dark' set the tone of the package with a piercing drum groove, airy arpeggios and a funky bassline, before cosmic synths and crunchy snares work alongside scintillating chords in 'Into Space.' Concluding the package, 'The Loft' begins with a hooky bass sequence and filtered effects before soothing melodies come into play.

Optimo Music presents a 5 track EP & also a debut release from Nashville's Stranded, including a remix of title track 'Celine's Dilemma' by RSD, aka Rob Smith of Smith & Mighty fame.

Despite hailing from Nashville, Stranded has a longing appreciation for the dance centric cities throughout the world whether it be Detroit, Manchester or Berlin, hence the moniker. Alienation, romantic rendezvous, 9 to 5 unease, and an apprehension of the future are just a few of the topics that surface on the debut EP, Celine's Dilemma, on Optimo Music. Sweeping and droning synths, jagged guitars, rolling bass, yearning and weary vocals, and disco beats propel the music and ideas showcased in the project. While using the backdrop of post punk, disco, and synth pop the music is a sonar call to places where people are gathering, working, and dancing.

The product of a songwriting duo in the rich tradition of Tiga/Hulkkonen and Tiga/McCartney, "Stay Cool" marks a return of sorts to the classic Tiga sound, which is now the modern Tiga & Clarian sound. The kinda-underground acid techno grooves and magnanimously biting lyrics paint a picture so contemporary it threatens to make you live in the moment for the rest of your life.

What began organically with Clarian contributing material and production to Tiga's 2016 No Fantasy Required LP has evolved into a contractually-mandated partnership. Having already worked with the likes of Jamie Principle, Felix Da Housecat and Guy Gerber, the Montreal-born musician is no stranger to "the hot collab," but was still taken aback by the rigorously enforced freedom he enjoyed during the "Stay Cool" sessions. "Tiga will be the first to tell you he has no ego in the studio, and in my experience that is the absolute truth," says Clarian. "Every idea I have, every part I write, we split the credit right down the middle."

"Stay Cool" is a real-time disintegration of the boundaries between Tiga's public passion for music and his private obsession with digital entertainment currencies like Quarthonium Bronze and LavaBucks. "It occurred to me that what I could not stop myself from doing - typing 'HOLD YOUR POSITION' over and over in my crypto group chat - also served as an apt illustration of my heroic lifelong wrestling match with the idea of cool. And this epiphany has opened up my experience into a 360-degree panorama of creative possibility," enthuses Tiga. "Soon, I'll be haggling over blueberries at the farmer's market and Clarian will instantly turn in into the sound of the summer, whether you like it or you love it."

"You're So Special" emerged from the songwriting team sitting around the drum machine in shirtsleeves with a pot of piping-hot coffee, waiting for piping-hot inspiration to strike. The lyrics ably grapple with the now, openly wondering about the direction of bleeding-edge compassion. "You see it everywhere, from airport bookstores stocked with variations on The Art of Not Giving a Fuck to airline pilots taking time off to work on themselves mid-flight," hectors Tiga, wagging his finger for needed emphasis. "I don't pretend to have all the answers, but what I also don't pretend to have is patience for those who pretend to do."

MATHIAS SCHOBER, INNELLEA
Curating their second release on the newly established independent imprint TAU, the Adana Twins are keen to support the best
up-and-coming talent from a saturated DJ/Producer market. The second release showcases yet another rising star; Paris-based,
Romanian born - BOg.
BOg first broke onto the electronic music landscape after being signed to John Digweed's 'Bedrock Records'. 12-years down the
line he's released on Dixon's Innervisions & Solomun's Diynamic, BOg is a constant in the record bags of DJs across the globe.
Drawing strong influences from bands and artists such as Depeche Mode, The Prodigy, Aphex Twin or The Chemical Brothers,
BOg's 'Terra EP' has an evident other-worldly feel.
Innellea returns to TAU002 this time on remix duties, remixing 'Terra' and further cementing his position as a core artist on TAU.
The B-side remix of 'Jahar' comes from Mathias Schober, chosen for the Adana Twins love his sound design and aesthetic, the
producer delivers a remix rounding off the solid 'Terra' EP.

British born, Berlin based singer songwriter, Cameron James Laing steps up for an outing on Suara. The original, 'Her', is an emotive and enchanting mixture of soulful vocals, acoustic guitars and swelling strings, beautifully produced and expertly executed.
Roman Poncet then flips the original into a bumping, breaksy, glitched out roller, twisting and manipulating Cameron's vocals to add a further dimension to the mix.On the B side Prins Thomas brings his trademark Scandanavian touch to 'Her' edging the tempo up and anchoring the song to a dynamic bass, alongside echoing out elements of the guitar and strings to create a version that wouldn't be out of place on the Balaeric Islands.
Closing out the e.p. Peter Pardeike takes you back to the club, placing a rhythmic arp and weighty stabs behind a pounding kick and crisp hats, to provide a big room version of Cameron's original.

For the fourth Vinyl release, we welcome on board Goncharov - that drops 3 amazing original house tracks . On the remix duties we welcome - Oddmann aka. Greg Brockmann & Odd Soul - who brings his exceptional collaboration remix into this amazing Ep named >Outbreak<

It was the 23rd century, mankind's darkest hour. The war had been raging for almost a hundred years. We had been fighting for so long, no one could even remember the reason why it all started in the first place. For decades millions died for the same piece of rock. Again and again and again.
The hope was to start over, free from the prejudices that had divided us for so long. That was 800 years ago. When we came here to rebuild our lives.
We've come a long way since then, we have grown, we have prospered, we have flourished, but we will never forget.

You seek shelter in the dreams that would break your life if they were real. And because you cannot live your dreams, you dream of me, make me your phantasy. At some point, you will seek shelter back in reality because you cannot stand your dreams. And what you dreamt of last night will be today's bitter reality.
I am real and I can stand it.

Ace, perfectly executed, subtly dubbed, minimalist House / Tech House grooves.

"Happiness is something nothing to add to."

The EBM-indebted techno funk of James Welsh's 'Thread' reemerges from the industrial fog, evolved into three outstanding remixes by a trio of established, emerging and somewhat unexpected artists.

Ozel AB delivers his debut remix, reimagining Thread to encompass a widescreen vision of depth and drama. Unfolding slowly and ethereally, with military kicks holding down a seemingly weightless, extended breakdown, his taste in dreamlike rave euphoria contains the same magic touch as it has done on previous, acclaimed releases for Workshop and Lobster Theremin.

On his 'Garten' remix, Radio Slave takes a percussive approach to the relatively raw electronics of the original track, adding a deceptively simple but immediately effective layer of drums to the production, before unleashing a more filtered and fucked-up interpretation of the riff to winning effect.

Finally, FC Kahuna may have been off-the-map for some time, but return here with a distinctive, playful and digital-exclusive take on Thread. Adding intriguing tension, whistling rave kettles and even a sense of the whimsical and the exotic to the original production, surprisingly silky flutes occasionally mingle with Welsh's initial acidic aesthetic.

Now here's something special. Johannes Brecht returns to Poker Flat with a little night music, a trio of deep, dramatic and driving house tunes that in their precision and invention are testimony to a distinctive intelligence. Since an impressive stint as musical director for Henrik Schwarz's 'Instruments' project and the subsequent release of 2013's 'Holla", Brecht's reputation has been growing steadily with a series of carefully crafted 12s. And if 'Trois Nocturnes' is anything to go by, 2015 is set to be his year. 'Nuages' hinges on a sinuous, snake-charming synth line. Instantly memorable, it's an exquisite headphone experience that's equally deadly on the dancefloor. The lilting 'Sirènes' teems with ideas, its big kick burnished with a dancing synth motif and a chamber orchestra of synthetic strings. Last but not least, the motorik 12-minute 'Fêtes' contrasts its knotty, brittle piano line with sus-tained pads and bright, striking syncopations.

The Anticipatory Organization is an energetic EP that could only be the work of The Sun God. There are three rousing tracks to stir the attention. The Things We Don't Know is a mesmerising key driven journey. It features gorgeous keyed sparkles, washing waves of acid and clopped beats. The Disbelief Habit is driven by a strong melody that really grabs you and won't let go. This is accompanied by a strong bassline, focused keys and closely held percussion. The Achievement Factory rounds off the EP with another distinctive musical effort that marches straight into the middle of the dancefloor. Punishing percussion and an in-step cavernous bassline are joined by loose acid and riffing keys. Once more, The Sun God delivers as only he can.

Swedish producer Toxe's sharp ascent through club-cursed climes has elicited the highest praise from the start. In just a few years she has linked up with Staycore and Halcyon Veil, presented an A/V project with The Vinyl Factory, and scored KENZO's FW 2016 prints presentation with close collaborator Mechatok. Her new EP 'Blinks' is a fractal bloom of candied melodies and minor laments set in a sweep of frenetic rhythmic scenes.Developed throughout last year, 'Blinks' journals a period of inward flux. And though this is never presented in an overtly self-conscious way on the EP, Toxe binds a sweet juvenilia with a bustling and eager pensive tone to outline her tessellating sense of self just below the surface.Meditative glimpses of soaring synthetic landscapes are woven across 'Blinks' in brief snatches. Awash in horrific and gripping fluorescent hues, these environments are augmented by a comically mischievous patchwork of voices and saccharine rasps that clamour for attention, hinting at Toxe's impulse to voice a simultaneous and unorganised set of experiences.The release is mastered by Jeremy Cox, featuring art by Jasper Spicero.

Sombrero Galaxy (also known as Messier Object 104, M104 or NGC 4594) is an unbarred spiral galaxy in the constellation Virgo located 31 million light-years (9.5 Mpc)(2) from Earth. The galaxy has a diameter of approximately 50,000 light-years, 30% the size of the Milky Way. It has a bright nucleus, an unusually large central bulge, and a prominent dust lane in its inclined disk. The dark dust lane and the bulge give this galaxy the appearance of a sombrero. Astronomers initially thought that the halo was small and light, indicative of a spiral galaxy, but Spitzer found that the halo around the Sombrero Galaxy is larger and more massive than previously thought, indicative of a giant elliptical galaxy.(3) The galaxy has an apparent magnitude of +9.0, making it easily visible with amateur telescopes, and it is considered by some authors to be the brightest galaxy within a radius of 10 megaparsecs of the Milky Way. Its large bulge, its central supermassive black hole, and its dust lane all attract the attention of professional astronomers.

Bedrock returns with a stunningly designed and expertly produced 12 inch from Eagles & Butterflies Vs John Digweed & Nick Muir. 'Crazy Diamond' opens up proceedings, coupling pulsating bleeps and percussive synths alongside a hard hitting kick. Soon you're swept up in swarm of strings that elevate this track to new heights...big room at it's best.
Flip it over and 'Divenire' sucks you into a web of arps and pads woven behind a pounding kick and disorientating panned snare samples, that'll entice you in until you're completely lost in those hypnotic rhythms.

K'Alexi Shelby & Robert Owens present 'Downtown', a track that's been getting the inner circle of the House music community quite excited over the past few years - some projects simply can't be rushed, and this labor of love is one of those very releases.

Often imitated but never replicated, Robert's instantly recognizable vocals have been tearing up dance floors since the late 80's, and here with his long time friend K' Alexi Shelby the pair have once again unleashed something special just in time for Record Store Day.

Flying the Chicago flag high, remixes take shape from the ever impressive Anthony Nicholson & Mike Dunn, whilst Greek supremo Anthony K adds in a totally different musical trip, each one ticks all the boxes required and impressively
opens up the release for a wide pool of DJ's to enjoy. It's K Klassik baby!

DJ SUPPORT: Ron Trent, Kenny Dope, Roy Davis Jnr, Joe Smooth, Maurice Joshua, Mike Dunn, K'Alexi Shelby, Anthony Nicholson, Anthony K & Soulfuledge.

Kirill Matveev and Brickman link energies on behalf of a powerful weapon for Russian based label: MixCult Records.

The EP leads with an enchanting dub inclined cut entitled Vice Man' which narrates a story of a dub marching techno soldier from the cold camps of Russia. The mood of this fine crafted art form places the listener in a victorious state of mind. As second, we find an experimentation of gender edges that form a medley of attenuating and danceable cuts called Milk Escape'. As the track progresses, we find the dub entrancing reverberations growing and flourishing into an impenetrable realm of splendor, making this one of MixCult's true favorite refrains. The EP comes to an end with Brickman's Multiverse' which amalgamates into an enchanting dualism between peak time breakdown and beginning of afterhours sound. Multiverse comes down as the equinox and as the romantic blanket of this expertly assembled release.

Part 2 focuses on the warmer and more soulful side of IMF and features an outstanding array of artists making their debut for the label, all of which have a strong personal meaning to Fengler.

Highlighting this section of the project is the first AZUR track - Marcel's new side project. He explains: I've always liked to be diverse with my music, but I also don't want to confuse people. This is the reason why I decided to give my melodic side its own identity. My music under the Marcel Fengler name will go back to its roots and be more raw and rough in production terms.'
The final digital package will be complemented by a DJ mix from Thomas Hessler comprised of tracks from IMF10.
Stay tuned for Parts 3 to follow, which includes originals and remixes by Marcel Fengler, Sebastian Kramer (aka Redshape), Luke Slater, Peter Van Hoesen and more.

Completing a quick fire trio of new EPs, Constant Sound hits release number six with a pair of new tracks from VRSION that come with a dance floor friendly remix from Persuader. VRSION is a German producer who has already made a big impact with his release on Craig Richards' excellent The Nothing Special label. Following up that in fine style is the opener here, 'Torn', which is a hurried and urgent track that sits on the divide between house and techno. It is driven and slick, rubbery and hypnotic but has plenty of nuance and funk in its well programmed drums. Some occult sounds and wordless vocals embellished the whole thing and it really is the sort of track that blows dance floors apart and will stand out in any set. 'Capricorn Meet Leo' then toys with kinked drum patterns, rattling percussion and fathom deep bass that sucks you right into VRSION's world. It's a restless place where harmonies ride up and down the scale, cause claps come at you from odd angles and dark vocals add a sense of paranoia. Remixing this one is Persuader, who does so with a stripped back sense of restrain. he retains the original's weirdness, but layers in serene pads and tripped out atmospherics that really make it ripe for playing at 4am. This is the most adventurous release yet for Constant Sound, and is sure to prove one of its bets as a result.

Dark Sky schieben zum frisch veröffentlichten zweiten Album gleich die nächste Single hinterher. Mit seiner emotional aufgeladenen Deepness und einem füllig-fordernden Techno-Unterbau führt "The Passenger" viele Dinge zusammen, die "Othona" so besonders machen. Auf der B-Seite weiß Roman Flügel mit seiner ganzen Erfahrung, was es bei "The Walker" braucht, um aus dem Albumtrack eine Euphorie-Schleuder zu machen. Und die hochtourige und trotzdem verträumte Live-Version von "Angel" ist schließlich die definitive Visitenkarte für Dark Skys Live-Sets.

Der Dresdner Kumpel DJ Gunjah ist derjenige, der immer dort ist, wo man ihn nicht erwartet. Er bespielt die
großen Bühnen und weiß, wie man auch in der Hitze der kleinen Schauplätze den Dancefloor zum kochen
bringt, z.B. mit seinem neuen Track "House of Lords."
Der Mann der Stunde ist Niconé, der zusammen mit Aves Volare den extrem driftenden Track "Don't Stay'
zusammensetzt. Niconé hat seine Fan Base auf der ganzen Welt, ist Teil der Bar 25-Gemeinde, Kopf von
Dantze Records und einer, der immer bis zum Ende tanzt.
Kein Neuling, aber immer noch ein Geheimtipp: unser Paji! Der talentierte Produzent ist bekannt für warme
Rhythmen und Instrumental Stücke. Man kann sicher sein, dass der Sommer das ganze Jahr dauert,
während man seine Musik hört. "Atacama" wird dich durch die dunklen Tage führen und dich in den langen
Nächten lächeln lassen.

The Meant label really is on a fine run in 2015, and now offers up its 3rd release of the year. This one is a brilliant, club ready package from Rework and features excellent original material alongside carefully ClickBox remix.

Rework is a German collaborative project between Daniel Varga, Michael Kuebler and Sascha Hedgehog. As well as having ties to this label, they have released on Items & Things, Visionquest and Playhouse, and high profile fans include Seth Troxler. The creative trio has been doing this more than 15 years now, and as such is as good at making essential 12's as it is full length albums.

Opener 'Too Forward' is a freaky bit of slow motion electronic house. Vast kicks form the marching beat as trippy vocals repeat the title's refrain until it loses all form. Around it, sparking electronics and phased synth lines make for a fine cacophony that will undoubtedly freak out 'floors. The devilishly dark and alluring 'Overdosed' is a more up tempo track with shadowy post punk energy. No wave synths gurgle and tinny chords light up the centre as a disaffected vocal mutters about overdosing over the top.

It's another perfectly freaky track. Last offering 'Candy And Korg'
is a wiggling, synthetic house track cut from the Gemini mould.
It's bubbly, rich and subtly groovy and is the sort of thing you'd hear in a Craig Richards set.

Magda favourites ClickBox then remix this one into a sparse but elastic affair with dry hi hats the main hook of a perfectly reduced minimal track.Once again here Meant and Rework have cooked up a perfect dance floor storm.

The missing 006... repressed !
