House Vinyl New Releases - News

Spanish DJ and producer UNER is looking back on an impressive but intense career. After first milestones on top notch labels like SAVED and DIYNAMIC he scored even more points with his last releases on the Überlabels CADENZA and VISIONQUEST which made him one of the most wanted minimal-techno-producers around.Uner is a child of the digital age. No pseudo retro-analog-attacks here and no looking at the Berlin hipster crowd. And he continues in that direction with his Cocoon Recordings debut. Vocal samples and spacy sound-fragments meet warm and hypnotic arpeggio-synths. There is a lot of room and deepness in here that creates a dreamy atmosphere which is hard to find in techno-productions these days. The perfect package to make into the summer-open-air-season (finally!). Sun come out and let us shine, we got the music!

- Leipzig's R.A.N.D. Muzik are perhaps better known for pressing records than releasing them, but to demonstrate their new picture disc press they've curated a limited edition compilation LP for reflective home listening (and viewing).
Featuring Lowtec, Consulate and Leipzig locals Panthera Krause and Leibniz to name just a few, over its 8 tracks the collection moves from melody-driven IDM to dark, atmospheric ambience, through to reflective electronica.
Skilfully pressed on two sides of 12' plastic with artwork by Marijn Degenaar this is surely a must-have for every sensible record collector.'

After releasing their debut full length Album on Kompakt last year, Hunter/Game return to Just This with another immersive offering.
On the ‚Dead Soul EP' the duo continue to refine their expressive yet subtly arranged sound. The title track unfolds slowly, sculpting the melody, texture and suspense. Joey Anderson's take on 'Dead Soul' is airy and atmospheric without losing it's pulsing flow. ‚Isolation' covers a broad spectrum and is filled with contrasts in which an intense bass interacts with a delicate and breathy melody.
Balance is key to Hunter/Game's music and this EP is no exception.

Minneapolis Exchange is excited to bring the next exchange; a long awaited release for us. As promised, the exchange is the goal so for this exchange we bring you music from our crew in the US.

These guys are out there on the front lines every weekend and many week nights, they don't sleep! Welcome two tracks from Jeff Swiff and Christian James.
Next up is side B, this is the exchange part ya'll! From Chicago we have Dan Ryan and from Los Angeles we have Ricky Tinez. These two bring in a seriously raw and darker vibe to the release, let the tracks speak for themselves and enjoy!

American DJ & producer Eric Estornel AKA Maceo Plex is set to relaunch his old moniker called Mariel Ito in 2018. The mysterious alias was active during the early 2000's and flourished from Estornel's experimentation on electro sounds before he would become known worldwide as Maceo Plex. He delivered a bunch of releases under this moniker during 2005 and 2006 including an EP on Modern Love and an album on SCSI-AV, to name a few.

Estornel will come back with a first Mariel Ito EP in 12 years. This new single titled '2e Komst' will land on January 26th on his fresh imprint Lone Romantic, that he launched with the recent Maceo Plex LP 'Solar' last summer. The EP brings two new tracks 'Sintex49' and 'Dmode90' that illustrates the electro edge of his sound with the recognizable obscure synths and electrifying samples of his productions.
All tracks written & produced by Eric Estornel

Jerome Derradji + Still Music are proud to present Let's Dance Records - Mike Macharello & Duane Thamm Jr. Chicago 1983-85. The origin of house music, at least in a commercial sense, is generally associated with young African American producers from Chicago's South Side, but one of the first Chicago house music labels was started by a young, white, gay DJ from the far west suburbs.
The Let's Dance story will take you back to the beginnings of Mike Macherello and Duane Thamm Jr. when Chicago's house music was in its infancy.
Back then, after starting as young roller disco Dj in the late seventies, Mike Macherello gradually made its way to the best radio station in 1981 - WBMX - and started a movement that still ripples through the city today. Let's Dance's founder, Mike Macharello, was a DJ who bridged diverse music scenes, from rock clubs to discos. The Let's Dance record label helped establish Chicago's dance music industry between 1983 and 1985, before becoming Play House Records (which will be reissued by Still Music in an upcoming set). Macharello's pal, DJ Duane Thamm Jr., also from the 'burbs, became the label's main producer and one of house music's most important studio engineers and producers. Mike and Duane went on to release a few legendary singles for Let's Dance that are still to this day considered to be the earliest House music records coming from Chicago.The 12' pack includes faithful reissues of Selenia's 'Single Girl', Duane Thamm Jr. 'Jump Trax', the insane Knight Action 'R-Trax/D-Rail' 12's along with a 5 tracks 12' compilation and an accompanying poster insert including rare pictures and artifacts with the story of the label.

Axe On Wax's brand new sub-label PNP follow up the huge PNP001 with this brand new 5 track EP, set for early October release. Already gaining early support from Folamour, DJ Aakmael, Deejay Astral, Seb Wildblood, Mixmag, Baltra, Demuja. Don't miss this.

The Copenhagen Duo Wilma (lower Case W) Aka. Jeppe Willumsen & Dan Madsen Formed In 2014 And Soon Got Off To A Hectic Start. Despite Their Varied Backgrounds The Two Quickly Bonded Around Their Common Love Of Early Dance Music. The Resulting Output Was Picked Up By Then Panorama Bar Resident Prosumer. He Used Their Tune Fabio On His Fabric 79 Mix Cd And Released A Four Track Ep With Wilma On His New, But Unfortunately Short Lived, Potion Imprint. Fast Forward A Few Years And The Duo Behind The Multiplex Reboot Have Just Gotten A Distribution Deal, When They Receive A Couple Of Tracks From Wilma - It Was Love At First Listen.

The latest release on Roam Recordings comes from Mexican based rock techno fusion duo Zombies in Miami. Widely known for their deep, dark, and energetic live performances and their excellent productions on labels such as Correspondant, Cómeme, Love on The Rocks, and Hippie Dance, Zombies in Miami are the perfect fit for Roam Recordings. In the Primitive EP featured here Zombies in Miami bring two stunning originals that offer up both the light and the dark. The title track Primitive is a fun discofied tune with floating flutes, a cut up vocal, and a bassline full of bounce. Contrast that with Tizane that gets witchy right from the start with ethereal arps, ominous synth sweeps, and vocal chants that summon the dark spirits. Joining the EP is Jakarta-based artist Jonathan Kusuma who has previously released on I'm a Cliche, Love on the Rocks, Nein, and Machine Limited among others. In his remix of Tizane, Jonathan Kusuma strips down the original giving it a heavier drive with a methodical intention on the guitars and vocals while keeping the dark vibes alive. Taking on the remix of Primitive is Mexican dj/producer Mijo that has previously released on Correspondant, Sanfuentes, and Shara among others. Mijo's remix of Primitive brings the lasers with a welcomed quirky and hypnotic spin on the original. All four tracks come together to form a diverse EP that on one side is perfect to set the mood for a seance or dark club and the other for fun party vibes. The Primitive EP also marks the last EP of 2017 for Roam Recordings. Zombies in Miami, Jonathan Kusuma, and Mijo together bring a strong finish to an already big year for the label.

Backyard Boogie present their first release from the new label coming out of Amsterdam. The release comes from the friendship of Charlie & Jody and what they created together coming from two different musical backgrounds, now with their music crossing paths. They used a variety of analog machines and field recordings to help create the music. The release also sees a collaboration with a local Amsterdam artist Ardjoen Mahangoe, who helped create the artwork for the release.

Dj Skull Rhythmic Ep is about a mystic place of pure abstract music.These are rhythms from within.

Jacuzzi Killer' is a four track EP packed full of that signature low slung, rolling groove we all know and love Hector for.
The cherry on top, a coveted remix by Detroit legend Rolando only seeing VL Recordings keep the music to the high standard they set back in January on the debut Vatos Locos Forever.

Vintage Electronica aware smart leftfield House jams & Ambient interludes

Metamatics returns with his seminal classic Ep01.A slab of minimal house that has been dropped into sets from dj's like Nicolas Lutz and Move D.Originally released on the super cool London label Clear.This much sought after ep has finally got the re release it deserves.A secret weapon in any dj's record box.

Two stalwarts of Amsterdam's techno & house underground scene -- Julien Chaptal and David Labeij -- decided to link arms at the beginning of 2012 with the creation of their vinyl only label, MFD. Aiming to bring their blend of electronica back to a stripped-down, powerful, and hypnotic groove. MFD's back-to-basics approach was born out of the infallible conviction that dance music in its purest form can effectively reduce one's insides to a bundle of raw nerves, and induce a state of pure bliss. Wether it be hypnotic, gritty or intense electronic music, the label focuses on explicit quality, keeping egos in check,
and never allowing them to get in the way of a good time.
Support Infos:
Played & supported by Matthias Tanzmann, Kabale Und Liebe, D´Julz, Anton Pieete, Lauhaus, Coyu, Tim Green and many more.

Cocoon Recordings presents COR12146, the dignified follow-up 12 by Rico Puestel that we were waiting for so long. Cocoon head Sven Väth himself is dropping 'Caravel' for quite some time already and the godfather of German techno smashes floors around the globe with this hot and dirty bombshell. Take all of the rocking techno ingredients that you loved so much over the last decade and you get a melt down of Dustin Zahn, Industrial Strength Soundhack and many more milestones to name... however Puestel created a very unique own style out of all these influences and the result is simply outstanding. Sven played the acetate of this so often that we even had to cut a second one. Techno-trainspotter worldwide went mad for this one and were killing us with their requests and track-ID inquiries. The wait is over guys! 'Caravel' and 'Est' (on the flipside) are two cutting edge techno monsters that hold enough energy to power your car, your computer, your phone, your life...we cannot imagine what Rico will show us next ;)

Colt Music is back with a new release, welcoming 2017 by presenting Syntax Society. The mysterious Spanish artist starts his journey with three electro and minimal infused tracks perfect for any dark late night or early morning setting. To close things off, Frankfurt's finest Markus Sommer delivers an astonishing megannum remix, coming straight from the future.

PLANGENT RECORDS is back with the first various artists compilation (PLANCOMP001) on the label and gathers long time friends, likeminded musicians and new talent on this 10 track release. This platform for deep, low-key, melancholic electronic music shall continue.

When UMEK introduced his moniker Zeta Reticula at the beginning of the century, he got the following review....Zeta Reticula sounds something like a cross between Basic Channel style minimalism & Anthony Rother's electro formula's.......
The main man once again unleashes four more pulsating electro works out, with a little nod to Aux 88.................

After the successful debut EP from Giovanni Damico and Tomson, We Play Wax brings you their second release: a showcase of one of Italy's most talented and productive new-kid-on-the-block. Degio's 'Questione Interiore' offers up for enjoyment 3 club-ready acid-infused house bangers, while his good friend Alessio Collina gets deep, down and dirty on the remix duty.

To visually complement the sound, our talented Romanian designer Lar Pavel puts his signature on yet another eye-catching custom-designed artwork, all on professionally mastered and carefully crafted black gold.

Presenting the latest release from Inmotion Music as the NYC based imprint welcomes fellow city dwelling deviant ELON to the helm. Representing the long lineage of quality underground artists to come out of the city, ELON offers some deep and straight up techno that comes straight from the heart and aims solely for the feet...

ELON is certainly no stranger to the dance-floor, as his previous releases on Metroline, Made to Play and his own ReSolute label whole heartedly prove. Thick sonic attributes, mining basslines and hypnotic drums characterise the essence of this industrial leaning EP - a perfect fit, then, for this fresh label.

The EP kicks off with the almighty thud of Azone, which comes equipped with two strong remixes from already anointed label affiliate Marco Faraone and the much saught after skills of Marco Zenker. The original version's mix of heavy instruments and deep aesthetics makes it a stand out track of the moment, evoking memories of Octave One's groove and rhythm, not to mention it's raw, untreated analogue feel. Lots of oscillating basslines and perky percussive elements, all of which are stripped back on Faraone's interpretation, stripping apart the major chord buzz into a hollow, lurking track that builds at a menacing pace before unleashing full acid stabs and blasts.

Munich's Marco Zenker brings a bleaker tapestry, with the first minute of the track building in atmosphere and melody.., before bringing the beats through a hazy veil of shrouded mystery and muted mastering.

The EP is then bolstered by two more original ELON productions, both showing the Brooklyn based DJ's production prowess in abundance, Ten - with it's jittery rhythm, electro boogie overtones and acidic hypnotic rhythm - stands as warehouse techno at it's finest, most futuristic style.

Mark Ernestus dubs Equiknoxx to the moon and back for DDS with an irresistibly percolated take on Congo Get Slap backed with a jaw-dropping, Basic Channel style version of Flagged Up. We hardly need to stress that this one's a doozy.
As a big fan of Equiknoxx's teched-out take on up-to-the-second dancehall, it was perhaps inevitable that the venerable Ernestus, owner of Berlin's Hardwax and one half of the legendary Basic Channel and Rhythm & Sound, as well as his most recent work with the brilliant Ndagga Rhythm Force, would eventually cross paths with Jamaica's Gavsborg and Time/Cow, two of the most exciting producers to emerge from JA this decade.
On both remixes the past informs the present in timeless fashion. The cloud-bursting chords and spaghetti western-esque tropes of Equiknoxx's Congo Get Slap are deftly diffused in the echo chamber, giving the bass an elasticated recoil and sublimating the chords to scudding, skywards dabs with weightless effect for the dancers.
Flipside, Ernestus takes that aspect one step further, distilling the kinetic dub futurism of
Someone Flagged It Up!! into a maze of diaphanous dub chords and rolling, sunken subs that inarguably measures up among his strongest post-Basic Channel works.
Like Shackleton's dub of The Stomper by Cutty Ranks for DDS, the results here triangulate deep-rooted connections between Jamaica, Lancashire and Berlin, speaking to a mutual respect and reverence of style and pattern which has heavily resonated from sub-tropical Kingston into much colder, European climes over successive generations.

The enigmatic label from Berlin, Schakal Recordings is back with its fifth release and young DJ Lorenz Lepus is next in line. The Lepus project has gone through many guises, finally Lorenz settled on making music as a solo artist under the Lorenz Lepus alias in 2014. While still studying at school Lorenz became a resident at Chalet's Tuesday sound Department parties, cutting his teeth in the cities clubs he has played in venues including Hoppetosse, Sisyphos, Arena and many more. This dedication to his music was not without some confusion, being aware of the melan- cholic minimal tendencies of his productions he has always been loathe to pin himself to a particular genre.What with the success of his career so far.. perhaps this isn't a bad thing.
'Feral Child' is made up of two original tracks and two remixes.The title track's melody swells until it breaks down into a pulsing and rolling rhythm. 'Lost' is more immediate in its dance-floor compatibly, maintaining the rolling style Lorenz imbues his take on deep house with an emotional poignancy rarely heard. Floyd Lavine steps up for the first remix on the EP, Floyd is a resident at the legendary RISE par- ties at Watergate, with one foot in Berlin and the other in his native Cape Town Floyd delivers a beauti- fully loopy and oddball twist on 'Feral Child' adding crunching static sounds. Providing a harder take on 'Feral Child', Italies VII Circle change the rolling melody into a slow techno heater.

No Repress!! Early support from : Frits Wentink, Molly, Orla, Cinthie, Meggy, Folamour, Interstate, Anna Wall

NHAN SOLO is back once again, and and this one is especially for the true house heads. Two club bombs all wrapped up and ready to go!

We, MOTHER RECORDINGS are super happy to announce young gun MARTIN WASLEWSKI´s following up EP this fall. Watch out kids - Gerd' EP is coming SEPT 28, two track weapons made for the dance floor, boom!

Next up on Belfast based Titanic City is Hermez an artist that first appared on Local Talks' sub label Telefonplan, a release that really turned our heads. At first we commissioned this unknown to remix duties of our first release, and now have handed him the conch for 002. To our delight we present this thundering release with influences from Detroit to Chicago, Belfast to Berlin. This one holds everything from 303s to experimental techno a must hear for where we plan on going and an insight into who came to rule. On remix duty is NICK ANTHONY (Mathematics recordings/Creme,Org/L.I.E.S) with his crunching 909 warehouse remake, which has myriad synth lines layered with real rough edge house beats.

There's a rough and raw DIY feel to this music that makes it jump out of the speakers and arrest your attention, as is always the case with Titanic City. Stand up pay attention.

"MODEM:39 is booted and connected. Main task: Linking components like friendship, art and communication. This sustainable mixture results in label artist Tommes' first release on solid 180g black gold. The A.R.L.T. EP represents a thoughtfully crafted selection of analog sounds, inspired by classic house music. Tommes, being a part of eastern Germany's underground scene since 20 years, demonstrates his unique style with four timeless tracks. His passion for dubby sounds and chords echoes through the whole EP - solid deepness incoming!
"McDrive" is a bass line driven tune, full of versatile, warm synthie-melodies and catchy percussions. Its length offers great mixing possibilites. Let's get smooth and dreamy on the - StendalSunsetBoulevard'. A beautiful piece for any occasion.
Side B features two more linear and straightforward tracks. "Deeples' hypnotic dub-groove creates a very profound depths. Club approved!
Cheerful house roller - Deemin Goes" glares with atmospheric pads and a punchy bassline - perfectly rounding off an honest Solo-EP. The EP is limited to 300 editions with a handcrafted cover artwork - 50 of them comes in a special black and white edition, 250 copies in decent black artwork."

NYC Veteran and machine wizard Charles Noel aka Archetype reaches deep into his sonic archive to present two incredibly special releases on Bright Sounds. Featuring exclusive previously unreleased material ranging from abstract to sublime in the form of a new & unique alias, (CN2). Essential.

Adam Arthur has long been the brains and brawn of the Tennessee Techno scene, coordinating parties and running a serious sound system. Now he steps out of the shadows to launch his own vinyl label, Danger Close, with three slices of risky Analogue Magick recorded at his HQ 90 miles west of Memphis. "Illusions" on the A side is a long spiraling snake charmer, designed to seduce a dance floor past the point of no return with lacerating acid. "Sounds Detroit," and "Void" on the B side invoke the spirit of those desiccated warehouses of the American Mid-West where Technology merged with Mysticism. Amen.

special triple pack for all you Anngel lovers out there - contains 3 classic releases
anngel002: mark farré / kemry wiper - supreme / b52
anngel003: superslut - point of deep (dejonka remix)

Again Martin Eyerer & Rainer Weichhold are glad to give space for another new artist on their Kling Klong imprint: CJ Jeff. Though with great releases on Bedrock, Objectivity, Glasgow Underground, Kittball etc this talent from Athens is certainly no newcomer anymore. Noir Music's shootigstar Paul Ursin and Incorrect head honcho Anthony Attalla from Detroit took their rare time to support CJ Jeff with 2 brilliant remixes.
