House Vinyl New Releases - News

25HRS - 001 is a VV.AA by label's owner Giacomo Silvestri with the additional of Proudly People, Manuel de Lorenzi and Stefano Fabrizi.

12 Rhythms as the name already suggests, is a Collection Series on Alma Negra Records. Each Issue is dedicated to a specific rhythm based on its groove stemming from its cultural origins. In a world surrounded by a plethora of grooves and rhythms, we have selected those which influenced us or just simply liked the most.

The first Issue and first release on Alma Negra Records is dedicated to the unmistakable rhythms of Brazil. Growing up surrounded by the rich sounds from traditional to totally experimental; Brazilian Music has heavily influenced our own sound and direction.

Vision
This issue aims to distinguish itself from other compilations and demonstrates important atypical Grooves of Brazilian Culture. Instruments like the Berimbau used in the "Capoeira" or "Berimbau" itself or the carnival strong Batucada Beat has been combined with the mysteries of brazil experimental music heard in the track "Vision".
Hypnotic Experimental Vocals, dub chords combined with an own interpretation of a Batucada Rhythm recorded live in our Studio in Basel, "Vision" is clearly a one of those tracks heard in the heart of the night which is sure to keep those feet moving
to its pulsating beats.

Capoeira
Capoeira is a Dance (Fight) originating from Angola and was developed by Brazilian Slaves to better defend them against violence inflicted by their Masters. As they crafted this martial art, the perfect cover was to create a "dance to music." Every dancer is singer and musician so no one is restricted to any set role. The creation of the unique sound is normally through three Berimbau's and two Pandeiro drums. This demonstrates a classic Capoeira Groove, with this Alma Negra Edit setting out to strike every dancefloor.

Berimbau
A smooth sailing track with variations of Berimbau, that create a trance like vibe when combined with harmonic flutes. This creates the perfect accompaniment as your musical ship illuminates with the sunrise. Underneath, a strong percussion beat brings everything together; a perfect late night track.

Deep Dubby, dark punchy techno, from Architectural showing off his Natural groove.

The newly formed Clock Poets imprint takes its first steps, and it is rare to see such sure footed steps from the very first record. First up is a solid but playful EP from Døob &, Armie, accompanied by stand out remixes from Guido Schneider &, System of Survival which round out the package into a must have.

Opening the record is Døob &, Armie - Flutter. This four to the floor track is armed with a quirky charm that gives it a uniqueness as its eerie and off kilt content create the abstract space in which this track dances, very cool stuff.

A2 sees the production pair deliver their track Trade a much darker return in comparison to the A1. Trade surrounds you in its warm and dark textures taking you by the hand into its mysterious depths.

The flip side sees the re-mixers step up to the plate. First up is Guido Schneider's take on Flutter. Cutting a more Tech House savvy groove and layering that up the with the memorable vocal, this version will see it fair share of dance floor action.

Systems of Survival deliver the 4 th and final track on this finely crafted opening EP from Clock Poets. They bring Flutter this time into a more intergalactic feel with its broken beat and spacey organs, a fresh and slick remix.

Like a short warm summer rain at a festival...Laufmasche´s two tracks are going to become the heavy rotating tracks of this year´s summer open air events! Side A with a housy rocking mover and on Side B the warmth or sounds which carry you away...

* Three releases in to Planetary Notions' journey and its cosmic infusion of house and minimal techno has been picked up by the likes of Sven Väth, Craig Richards, Delano Smith, Mr G, Evan Baggs and Nastia while also earning recognition from Resident Advisor, Boiler Room and Mixmag.* The label's latest effort sees two much-hyped artists Lopaski and Stevn.aint.leavn deliver their take on the label's sound for the very first time. Having earned widespread respect through releasing on Elephant Moon and Beste Modus respectively.

* On the A-side Lopaski provides a lush utopian soundscape easing you in to the track with atmospheric tropical pads and data bubbles of what must be an unknown alien language.The combination of a dubby low-end kick and swung hi hats provide the drive which powers the track forward. Cosmic energy and groove of comes courtesy a walking sub-low bassline turning Time Lapse into a power play built for dancefloor meditation.
Stevn.aint.leavn comes correct on the flip side with his far-out, low-slung effort Peacherine. The track begins with a skippy shuffled beat containing a crunchy snare, slick rimshot and a open hat that sets pace from the get go. The gliding sub bass groove provides genuine warmth before a techy breakdown echos sentiments of an interstellar message which guides you back into a UK garage swing paying homage to the the label's London roots.

Back into our HOUSE with a mixture of Deeply rooted sound of Mod32 for the front side, perfect for high early hours, trippy dancefloors and offshore events.
As for Back Side, we find ourselves with Pedro D'Alessandro with Shuffled Melancholy piano notes and Rhodes stabs, swiming deep into Minimal Drum sequences, Sweet tones and rough beats.

What difference does it make, whether it's 20 minutes or 20 years, since neither amounts to the faintest echo of the tiniest whisper in the thunder of time.

After Leibniz focused on distorted grime and jungle influenced techno on his last records, he is now diving into deeper fields with his first EP for hundert. Over the time Leibniz has obsessively collected youtube videos that serve him as an audio sample library. Be it a review of a lawnmower or people singing to their pets, every track features bits and pieces of sound taken from these videos. By editing and cutting the original material the sounds get implemented into a new musical context.Pushing digital algorithms of music software to its limits and over the edge, Leibniz invokes digital artefacts that continue the motif of distortion.House and references to contemporary hip hop beats form the skeleton for four hazy out-of-the-ordinary cuts.

REMIXES BY CAB DRIVERS AND SWOY

Killer release on Uncanny Valley related Shtum label. Their latest offering is none other than Avalon Emerson, who hits hard with her first appearance on the Dresden-based label with a record full of techno beauties. "Constantly My Cure (Vocal Mix)" features vocals by Avalon herself that ride on an unstoppable acid-driven bassline towards a forceful and paradoxically cold yet warm climax. "Constantly My Cure (Plan Around Me Dub)", offers an instrumental redux that's less ambiguous in its intentions -- this one's aimed straight for maximum dancefloor effect. "Sword and Rose Forever" shows once again that she knows how to create relentless club music imbued with beautifully bittersweet atmosphere. The EP closes with the punch of "Hurdy Gurdy DJ Tool," a break-laden machine-piston of a rhythmic workout that's made for those selectors who want to set fire to the floor and jam the energy up to a frenetic peak. Recommended!

Young Parisian producer NiKiT bursts onto the electronic music scene with his debut release 'Arcanes', a mini-album consisting of 8 tracks. Its atmosphere is reminiscent of early dark electro, with a dubby touch, pulsating drive and underground techno feel - a real dancefloor cracker.

the art of freedom doesn't know any limits when it comes to people like Petar Milicevic. This very unusual issue, this particular release should earnestly be considered as a mega bomb! vinyl only... Complatt.

Weltschmerz, the label owner of Complatt, and his friends, the world's talents, too underground names, upbringing taste makers such as DAT 'Italy', Zlatin and Guanlong appear to be releasing a very brand-new vinyl only rhythmic release "The Morning Problem". This release is limited by 100 copies and won't be repressed.

Die perfekte Studio-Alchemie von André Winter und Hatzler, die unter diversen Namen stets maximale Techno-Future-Klassiker hervorbrachte, trägt eine neue Blüte auf dem Senso-Label ihres langjährigen Buddies Oliver Huntemann.

Techno, Disco, Italo, Electronics, House, Library, Cosmic and Ambient frequencies - These are the bedrocks of the Midnight Drive ethos and sound. A label shining a light on overlooked or unheralded creations and respectfully reissuing them for the contemporary audience. A label that respects and understands the connection between these disparate and sometimes forgotten forms of musical expression and celebrates them.
DRIVE001 sees us step back to 1998 and into the hands of the duo of Damon Wild and Mederic Nebinger, recording together as Blue Maxx they quietly unleashed some of the finest futuristic widescreen Techno and Electro to emanate from NYC in the late 1990's. Utilising a small sub-label of Wild's seminal Techno imprint Synewave called Deja Vous the pair embarked on a slew of EP's released over the space of a couple of years with 'Private Life' being one of the last.
Across 3 tracks 'Private Life' opens up a new sound world, from the driving, tool-like qualities of the A-Side cut - all swinging drum programming, synth stabs and deranged metallic percussions to the deeper, more clandestine leanings of the B-Side tracks, mining a more musical and Electro infused vein, the whole EP stands out as something truly original. A hallmark of the Blue Maxx sound.
This is the first time 'Private Life' has been reissued, almost 20 years has passed and somehow Wild and Nebinger's style remains utterly fresh and contemporary. A truly rare and essential piece of hi-tech Techno expression that could easily have been released this week. Such is the quality on display within these grooves.

"Dream Machine" is an unreleased track or even more a - pop' song people have been talking about for some months now not knowing what it is called and where to get it.
Dominik Eulberg has been playing it in his sets and it has created a big stir on Soundcloud and in the fan community so we are releasing the track now on a limited one side colored vinyl.
"Dream Machine" was written together with talented German musician Essáy who has a career for himself and together they have written this club hymn!

The release manifests in a clear transparent vinyl, with minimal information on the etiquette and is sold in a plastic bag including separate artwork by Miro D'Oro. This features a hand drawn vision of how a Dream Machine could look like for Dominik and Essáy.

Music wise the "Dream Machine's" captivating quality is it's compelling friendliness. The track is good Karma full stop and we see the track also as an extension of what Dominik has been writing in the last years developing his own style left-field of the techno universe.
That the track turned out so smooth incorporating a flute and floating beat which is very untypical for Dominik is certainly due to Essáy personality to create a wonderful smooth feeling with his music.

17 Steps is the new record label from UK act Dusky, aka Nick Harriman and Alfie Granger-Howell. The debut 'Love Taking Over EP' leads with a unique title track that represents Dusky's hybrid approach to production perfectly. Drawing on dark, hypnotic melodies that reference classic jungle vibes, soulful vocal samples, and tough, intricate grooves, 'Love Taking Over' also hits with a gritty percussive edge; making for a fresh and distinctly Dusky production.

Second track 'Inta' connects even more directly with Dusky's formative jungle and rave influences growing up in London - taking its title and key sample from the classic 'Inta' by Grooverider's Inta Warriors alias. Archetypal of Dusky's genre-merging approach, 'Inta' blends sub heavy bass pulses with dark synths and vintage rave motifs to form an unflinching and heavy dancefloor sound.

Completing the EP in style, 'Expectations' is a track that has been on heavy rotation in Dusky's DJ sets over the year. A tough, no nonsense, floor burning house jam, "Expectations" instantly strikes a groove with its simple bass line and quirky jazz-inspired lead. Again summoning dark, D&B-inspired bass on its cavernous breakdown, "Expectations" is loaded with the texture and detail that Dusky are renowned.

In early 2017, Public Release dropped a four-tracker by Brooklyn's Earth Boys, a duo comprisedof Julian Duron and Michael Sherburn, and now it's being followed by a collection of remixes by some formidable names from around the world.
Where the EP of originals fell squarely in the category of vibey, shuffling, laid-back house
grooves, Trail Remix is decidedly made for the after-midnight parts of club sets. The 12-inch begins with a T&P - that's Beats in Space's Tim Sweeney and Phillip Lauer's version of 'Trail Mix'. Acid-flecked and hard-edged, and tongue-in-cheek at heart yet seriously functional, it's the original red-lined and shot down the highway at ninety miles an hour. (Worth noting that this is
the transatlantic unit's first remix to be released.) After that is Earth Boys' own redo of 'Highway
1' a juiced-up re-imagining of the first version, filled out with chunkier kicks and fatter synth washes that completely envelope any sense of direction. The flip leans towards the ethereal, stretchy, abstract, though it, too, is tracky and driven. The B1 slot goes to Canadian wunderkind Khotin, of 1080p and Normals Welcome, who blows some stardust into the tune, enveloping it in a blanket of sharp drums and icy pads. NYC mainstay Mike Simonetti, formerly of Trouble Man and Italians Do It Better, currently of 2MR, caps the record with his beefy overhaul of 'Trail Mix' a compression of industrial percussion, tribal rhythms and sub-bass undulations.

"Primus Motor" sees Ekman return to many of the sounds that gained him a reputation as an artist on labels like Bunker and Berceuse Heroique. Although harsh bucking acid lines, pockmarked notes, brutal beats and eerie echo are all present, a new tone has been added to the caustic palette. A psychological nuance, an undercurrent of the inchoate has been investigated and exploited to chilling effect. Crippling psychoses. Debilitating neuroses. Physical pain. Suffering stalks this first full vinyl album. Sinister sounds encircle the eight offerings, hovering like vultures over inhospitable plains of ashen grey, jagged peaks and dark sweeping swamps. Hope is all but drawn away in this bleached audio landscape, drained by sheer synthlines and reduced renderings. Amidst the sorrow and strain there are pin pricks of joy, albeit bleak and pallid ones. An album that unnerves as it engages, a collection of icy radiance and industrial indifference from a dutch master.

Past releases - Crosstown Rebels, One Records, Leftroom Limited and FFRR Party Affiliations - Circoloco, Flying Circus, Luciano & Friends Francesca Lombardo has cultivated a sound of her own, one that represents her multi-disciplinary musical background and transcends the dancefloor with ease. Creating emotional narratives via wistful soundscapes, stirring melodies, hypnotic rhythms and her own mesmerising voice distinguishes her from the crowd.

Originally released in 2001 on Omni AM's own Euphoria imprint, Tubes for Allah is a rolling tidal wave of beatdown tech house from an era when that wasnt such a dirty term. One of their most sought-after tunes is available again on wax accompanied by a drum mix by Mark Ambrose and two unreleased tunes rescued from the Kastmaster session DATs.

Get Physical is proud to announce the release of the first ever album from Chicago house luminary DJ Pierre. Entitled Wild Pitch: The Story, it collects originals and remixes old and new, and stands as a testament to the unique skill of one of dance music's most important figures. Famously, DJ Pierre as good as invented the squelch of acid house when playing with his Roland TR-303 drum machine as part of Phuture back in the late eighties. From there he went on to clock up more than 200 credits under aliases like Doomsday, Prime One, Raving Lunatics, AC!D FACE, DJ Pierre's Afro Acid Project and many more. He also became famous for the Wild Pitch mixes and alias that lend this album its name: they were characterised by long intros, layer upon layer of strings, repetitive vocal samples, and filtered hypnotic sounds on hard beats. Working with labels like Strictly Rhythm, Trax, King Street, Nite Grooves, International Deejay Gigolo and more recently Get Physical, Pierre has contributed hugely to the global evolution of house music for thirty years plus. This is a timely reminder of that and one that is jam packed with essential tunes that, old or new, still sound impossibly fresh. Included is a cover version of Donna Summer's classic and pioneering disco cut 'I Feel Love'. It is a 9 minute masterpiece of loose drums, wild acid lines and synthesised squelches that build and build before the vocal arrives and carries you away to the stars.

Best of STYLE ROCKETS Part 2 !

Showcasing the exceptional talent within the Underground Audio family, we are proud to bring you Boney EP by our very own Kevin Over. Hailing from Germany, Kevin has been producing and performing from a young age, with a keen focus in the tech-house and techno genres. Over the recent years, he has taken the industry by storm and is now a household name with releases on Truesoul, Mobilee, and many more. It gives us great pleasure to share with you his freshest sounds within this four track EP. Kicking off with his signature dark and heavy sound is Boney. With deep kicks and a diabolic sub-bass as a foundation, this track gears itself to be a minimal tech weapon.
Layers of smooth synth stabs and snappy vocals, and breaks filled with sustained synths create an air of mystery throughout, making this track a wonderful after-hours groover. Up next is Call it a Tool, an uptempo techno number formed over Kevin's keynote underground feel. Pulsating with attitude throughout, this track is perfectly placed to build up energy in any application.
A deeper yet percussive rendition of the original by Tripmastaz and Basement Kid offers another hard-hitting techno weapon.
Closing off the EP is Real Love, a chunky groover with a fast-moving, fat bass riff pushing at the seams of the track.
A variety of bright percussion flows right through, controlling the pace and growing tension, leaving you wanting more.
Boney EP by Kevin Over, proudly brought to you by Underground Audio.

Clocking in at 11 minutes, this is a radical deconstruction of the track 'Bint El Khandaq' that appears on the Mashrou' Leila album 'Ibn El Leil'. Lost Souls Of Saturn tease out the underlying emotion and yearning present in the original and take the listener on a beguiling, symphonic ambient journey that calls to mind Wolfgang Voigt's much loved Gas project, or the shimmering imaginary landscapes of Brian Eno. Renowned for their rousing, sensual electro-pop Mashrou' Leila's songs touch on political freedom, LGBT rights, race, religion and modern Arabic identity.
Lost Souls Of Saturn were approached by the band to reinterpret the original track and the stunning results fit perfectly as their debut release on R&S. This is the next step in the evolution of Seth Troxler and Phil Moffa's Lost Souls Of Saturn project. Look out for an album on R&S in 2018.

On One / How It Is Sometimez is a special Japan import 10'' that corresponds to the ''A good place...'' LP. Mr.G's new full length album

Paula Temple returns to R&S with her second release Deathvox EP, featuring three tracks as exciting and daring as her superb debut Colonized EP.

Deathvox is a club shaking, wild, imaginative tour de force, featuring her voice transformed like nothing on earth. 'I wanted to create a sonic movement completely transhuman, captivating, and capable of tingling every chakra in the body.'

Monstro presents a half-speed techno industrial explosion fitting for a Nine Inch Nails mosh pit.
Ful completes the epic journey with synth melodic richness you might expect from Karen Gwyer or Nathan Fake. She named the track in gratitude to the Stockholm art group FUL for challenging European border policies. Ful means 'Ugly' in Swedish.

Deathvox EP is the work of an inspired mind, citing her recent move to Berlin and working with progressive artists on her label Noise Manifesto as major influences on the craft of this record. Bringing together her love of post-punk, industrial noise and synthesizers, Paula Temple broadens her scope of the techno spectrum and sets her own mark yet again in this uncompromising release.

R&S are proud to introduce Paula Temple to the fold. Her first release 'Speck Of The Future' was way back in 2002 and gained her the support of Jeff Mills, Claude Young, Dave Clarke and the late John Peel amongst others. After co-developing one of the first midi controllers for DJ/live performance and teaching kids in her neighbourhood how to DJ, Paula Temple finally returns to her first love - techno music. 'To me it has always been about never settling for a standard, it's really about freedom, sounds that shatter the edges and our attitude as well.'
As a self-confessed Noisician, her signature sound is an exploration of harmonics countering dissonance 'Where the two meet - that is where the most interesting tension lives for me. Those intersections give me the shivers, where I feel most alive.' Inspirations for all three tracks came from 'imagining what it would sound like to resist the control systems we encounter every day, to refuse standardisation and covert forms of colonization.'
These influences are entirely evident in the ungovernable construction of 'Colonized'. 'Cloned' is an altogether sleeker, yet no less intense affair - slivers of a female vocal cut through glitched tough drums and dark raging synths. 'Decolonization' completely turns techno structures on its head with a rhythmic climax, before gradually surrendering to the emotion of Paula's vocal ensemble.
Now, who better to supply a tension inducing remix than the UK's very own Ali Wells AKA Perc. A man whose name has long been at the forefront of the renaissance interest in bass-bin rattling, uncompromising music, alongside the likes of Silent Servant, Raime and Vatican Shadow. Here he supplies a relentless, savage 'Metal' interpretation of 'Colonized' with a break down that amps up the destruction even further that is sure to push many a dancefloor reveller over the edge. Also included is Perc's 'Bubble' mix that acts as a more breezy counterpoint to its twisted sister - sinister chords lollop around the driving drum break to hypnotic effect.

Welcome on board to Costin Rp with Giselle ep

Fuckthegovernment.Ltd is a label and is artist duo ran by F.T.G (Alfredo Trastulli) and Music Box head honcho, Marco Riff, two Italians with a deep love of analogue-inspired house music and chicago sound. The label's latest once more arrives at us from the label owners, who combine witH aplomb on the quite expertly named '(I've Seen) Love From Tokyo'. For the first time ever, Fuckthegovernment.Ltd call on a remixer to give the package an extra sheen. In a move that's befitting of the standing for which the label is held, the guys have only gone and nabbed Chi-town legend Boo Williams for remix duties. A killer DJ tool that takes the listener on a proverbial journey of sound, his effort - not a million miles away from classic Williams productions a la 'Mortal Trance' - is sure to win plaudits from discerning house jocks aplenty. The original is an Intricate and deep number that's laced with clever cowbells, warm pads and a sporadic vocal that really brings the heat. With such adept producers on show, it's perhaps no surprise that Fuckthegovernment's latest serves up a masterclass in beautiful house music.

Horatio and Javi Green met in Ibiza and decided to summon their production skills in order to produce something really groundbreaking. Horatio & Javi did a superb job by fusing together the much hyped romanian techno with some spanish soul flavoured. On the remix duties is the one guy who is truly on the roll right now: Ada Kaleh .

Welcome to our first artists from Tokyo: Drunken Kong. With their great releases on Christian Smith's label Tronic, D. Singh and DJ Kyoko had a regular place on Monika Kruse's stick and she was even happier when she received this demo EP from the duo. The big hype about this release began when Monika dropped the title track 'Chanted' in her boiler room set last summer and it became bigger and bigger since then.

Act Natural Limited. Vinyl only. very limited 200 copies. No Repress. No digital promo.

First release comes from Chicago's one and only Melvin Meeks.
With releases on legendary labels like Relief and Target. There's
nothing more we need to say about this great artist!

One of our first artists, and a good friend from the first hour on, returnes to BluFin..with a one tracker reminds you how much we all love House Music - welcome back to the family!

Early 80s. Christiane F and Tron meet over a brutalist landscape. Clock is ticking. Electronic pioneers bang up post punks. Dirty hits. Take more. Time is running out. Northern European sub-cultural appropriation to destroy the dance. Still, it sounds good. And it looks nice. Nice sleeve art. Move along. Move along.

A couple of steps down and you've entered the grooviest cave of undiscovered strobe light excesses. Smoke machines and automatic funk. If spaghetti and meat balls would produce, they'd be named Fede Lng and Deejay Astral. Bringing serious thumpers to Susan, their 'Pack The Pipe' journey is wrapped in pirate material, recognizable vocals and the longing for a never-ending after party after the next after party. Empty your ashtray, crack open six cold ones, turn off the halogen lamps and start thinking.
