House Vinyl New Releases - News

This is the sampler of the Affkt new album 'Son of A Thousand Sounds' to be released by Sincopat. It includes collaborations with Upercent, Piek and Sutja Gutierrez.

Introducing a new concept series in Bluff-world, consisting of 5 Maxi-Singles, Bluff manipulates ancient and forgotten European shellac-sounds in a harsh world of experimental House Music on the edge of danceability. 'Eminenzen 1 blasts off with 3 unusual and smart tracks with childish and sarcastic irony between the lines.

"Raining Colors" was recorded after returning from the BPM season in Mexico. Inspired by the slow Tempos and crazy rhythms heard while dancing at the Sacbe Jungle Party this was the result. Remembrance Of Breath was created for our performance before last years Desert Hearts. We felt it would compliment the surroundings of this wonderful outdoor festival.
Solar Flare response was originally created for fun using our friend, Colin C's, Alchemy Plug-In sound pack 'Essential Alchemy" for Loopmasters. We were so excited with how it turned out we decided to turn it into a full piece.
These songs reflect the deeper and heavier side of our creative output and the kind of music we enjoy playing at night after the freaks come out.

Emerging danish artist Denis Horvat delivers a great varied EP.
All the tracks are road tested and at least I can say they work like hell...

Ever since John Talabot released his debut single My Old School for Permanent Vacation in 2009 he has been on an ever-increasing rise as both a producer and a DJ - and as a talent you simply cannot ignore.

Following on from 'Au Seve' the undisputed soundtrack of the summer, 'Husk' will be released on January 21st through his own label Broadwalk Records.Speaking about the track Bashmore writes:
Hey this is Julio Bashmore. I'm back with a new track called Husk. Conjured from the bowels of Techno, polished with the fine gloss of New Beat and delivered to you in my usual uncompromising manner.

Mentha Records steps up with a various release called Into Yourself featuring four emotive compositions that span the deep house spectrum. 'Tides' by Michael Lovatt starts the 12" with lush chords and a deep baseline that gives off a warm feeling. Kareem Ali is up next with 'Arnaldo Tamayo Mendez', a sensual track that is packed full of frequencies as Ali shows off his harmonic and arrangement skills,. The flip side begins with an Anaxander piece called 'Unspoken', with an emotive motif that displays homage to a classic deep house sound. Michael Zucker is holding up the last leg with "Together", this melancholy tune seeps its way slowly into your cells through an invasion of warm tones. Into Yourself is a solid 12" for the deep house soldiers.

a new label from austia is born !!! a great ep from hard techno with electro elements to tech house sound !! check all mixes !!! this is big !!!

Rachael are a new act signed to Idle Hands, from Bristol. Here is their debut release; two tracks of leftfield techno and quirky house.

New edits on The Invariants. On the a side an acid-not-acid techno trip, on the b side a 12 minute new age journey for the late hours.

Deus Record's TV Baby remix package drops six varying yet cohesive reworking of the New York duo. To shed new light on three of the band's tracks, the label has craftily pieced together an international cast of electronic artists capable of reinterpreting the psychedelic and free jazz influences of the project for the dance floor. The resultant reworks give the tracks solid functionality while staying faithful to the
band's influences and standing firmly within the label's ethos.
On first drop Secret Circuit's penchant for melodic, euphoric sounds meets Free Tech head on, the LA producer's trippy, driving remix focuses on fine-tuning and blending the more musical elements and vocals, with kaleidoscopic results.
Former band mate and Rub n Tug's very own Tom of England turns the package on its head and drops a mechanical, Balearic meets Punk take on Wild Joy. Turning things off the beaten dance floor trail, the mix is as blissful as it is claustrophobic.
Trus'me is an artist who knows a thing or two about the collaborative aspect of the remix, he is also a man whose continually evolving creative process make his remixes so unpredictable and vital. Currently exploring spaced out dance floor dynamics, the experienced Manchester producer puts a Detroit spin on Klerin Priest, turning in a slice of broken electro funk with a distinct UK flavour.London-based Ivan Smagghe has long been a proponent of industrial sleaze and brings his vast experience to bear on his chugging, restrained, 'Crossed' remix of Klerin Priest. The Frenchman's 'Ghetto' mix is even more reduced and touches on the now resurgent minimal sound.
With musical cycles once again aligning towards a more stripped back, tripped out approach, both mixes tap into the essence of Smagghe's undeniable, electro-leaning influence on the darker dance floors of today.All four producers twisted, experimental and driving effort's ensure that all of TV Baby's musical ethos is explored across six varied and divergent tracks.

Deep Breath Records strikes again with it´s fourth release. This time the music comes from the spanish duo 11.Off. The EP also comes with two big remixes from DJF (Prayers for the Long Life, AHD) and Bandada (Illegal Alien, Phase Insane, Spark Musik, True Type Tracks).
This Ep is a mix of Techno and Tech-House with Deep touches which makes it all vey complete.

Late night phone-calls, lonely connections & aviating trance. straight from our isle to your alley!

Five Italian talents of underground scene. Solid ep from raw house to jungle jams.
Elio (Dancing like Quagmire / 800Hz) received likes by Marcelus Pittman, Roman Flugel, Pablo Valentino and Pender Street Steppers. Keep an ear on this guy because many releases will come out soon.
Robbenspierre (Dusky Adriatic), Sheesma party resident. He really doesn't like to talk about himself. All you need to know is that he is an italian dj and producer and that he plays records that will make your ass shaking a lot and your mind blowing out of the floor. He drinks strongly, so offer him a drink and don't give up.
Grienkho (Pushmaster Discs, Sorry For This, Crimini Records, Austerity) It's well known that some towns like Bologna could have influenced the aptitude to dive your mind in a chaotic world full of music: It's up to you to put your own universe in order. That's what Grienkho did: face the music from a theoretical and then a technical point of view, finding the different possibilities into this constantly moving world. Dj Sotofett made a remix for him. JTS1 (Bosconi Records / Marguerite Records / Potatoheaz / Dionysian Mysteries). At that point the path to follow was clear, He started looking around myself doing research, going to different record stores and parties, listen to different music. Everything he has learned till now was already part of my knowledge. Then he discovered the MPC.
E-Natio, moniker of Nothus, the man behind XCPT Music.

After 10 succesful years on the scene and almost 2 years in with the ThanQ Music label, Marina Karamarko is putting first, long - awaited ThanQ Vinyl release on the market.

In this expertly curated record, containg two tracks from Marina Karamarko and two remixes, she once again proves her quality and her personal need for unique sound in a electronic music world. First Karamarko's track Come closer blends deep, hypnotic sound with a heavy bass, including dark, meancing vocals to narrate her music style in the underground music scene. The second track Can't get you is a fresh sounding product from Marina Karamarko, spiced up with tender moments, but it's not lacking in the weight and it's like other, underground dancefloor-friendly.

On the remix duties we have strong individuals and amazing artists, Marwan Sabb (SCI-TEC, Insomnia Rec.) and Reelow (Solid Grooves, Moan). Marwan's interpretation is going in the dub techno direction, with strong hooks and dark beats, while Reelow goes in his recognisable jazzy tech grooves which are perfect to get the party in the right mood!

The remixes add a big flare to the whole collection, more than suitablle for the first THANQ Vinyl release.

The whole production is peculiar, dynamic and sharp.

Chicago DJ and producer Olin follows up the debut release on his new record label, Boundary Movement, with TPI featuring four diverse cuts. Up-tempo electro, moody minimalism, old-school melodies, and chugging deep house all woven seamlessly.
The A side begins with TPI,' an exercise in minimalism and micro-detail. Unmistakably Olin's own, insistent synth stabs keep time while needlepoint percussion keeps the ear guessing. If you thought Olin's palette was limited to techno and house, A2 Corsaren' will prove you wrong — this is pitch-perfect electro in a classic style, a slow-building interplay of sci-fi synthesizers wrapped around icy cool call-and-response kicks and handclaps.
B1 Thanks Rob' is BOM02's most straightforward cut — and one of its best. Building momentum slowly across its eight-minute runtime, Thanks Rob' impresses as the larger-than-life bass swell hits. The dancefloor will be rapt - proceed carefully. B2 Hyssop,' feeling like it comes from a similar vintage as Corsaren,' might have been called ambient techno' decades ago, but its upwardly mobile percussion makes it feel as at home in a club as it does in the chill-out room. It's just the thing to close out this broad-spectrum record.

the next strike from the pure pure music label !!! a fantastic 4 track ep with minimal techno pieces from steve haze, connexx, wasteman and the thomsen !!!

Amongst those on the Amsterdam club scene, Tom Ruijg is highly regarded as a DJ and producer. With a production history that stretches back to the turn of the decade, and includes releases under his given name on Bangbang!, Karat, Hot Waves and Soweso, he's no newcomer, either.Skyfall is his first 12' for Voyage Direct, following a fine contribution to the First Mission compilation - alongside friend and sometime studio partner Efde - back in 2015. More pertinently, the EP marks the first time he's used the Tracey moniker for a release.The title track offers a near perfect balance between head-in-the-clouds melodiousness - delivered via cascading, new age influenced synthesiser motifs, starry electronics and crystalline lead lines - and serious dancefloor grunt. The beats are crunchy and distorted, with that distinctive swing that comes from vintage drumcomputers. As a result, Skyfall' feels timeless, as if it was a pan-generational collaboration between Tracey, early Detroit futurists, and early '90s ambient techno producers.There's a similarly enduring quality about the equally impressive Earthrise'. While the restless rhythm track is reflective of 21st century European techno, Tracey's hi-hat hits recall classic Motor City productions. Throw in the kind of ghostly chords and TB-303 bass you'd expect to hear on vintage Larry Heard workouts - not to mention some complimentary electronic lead lines - and you've got another ageless composition on your hands.On the flip, Tape Records co-founder Deniro - a producer famed for his analogue-rich take on techno - delivers two tasty interpretations of Skyfall'. The 'Mental Mix' flips the original on its' head, delivering a rugged, acid-fired box jam that replaces Ruijg's cascading melodies with starry new electronics, and seemingly unstoppable waves of TB-303 tweakery.The chiming, life-affirming melodies return on his Oude Remix, which smartly fixes them to a thrusting, energy-packed rhythm track full of scattergun fills and bassbin-bothering kick drums. It's a fittingly sweaty end to a superb first Tracey outing on Voyage Direct.

CD

Originally out in 2003, and long out-of-print, the 2nd AFRICANS WITH MAINFRAMES EP "SAVE THE ROBOTS" is 6 tracks of classic Chicago style minimal house from JAMAL MOSS and NOLEIAN REUSSE. Limited re-press on color vinyl!

Alkalino EP, is divided in two packages: the first one, was released on digital, on July the 7th, will include 2 original tracks entitled Bug Slack and Rated X, that have reached respectively # 33 and #4 on Beatport chart after only 1 week.
These two tracks will be released on vinyl with an exclusive new track and a remix by Severino (Horse Meat Disco, Hot Creations ) and Handzoff.
Bug Slack is a sleek, deep tech affair with elements of Nu Disco thrown in for good measure, Alkalinos ability to cut up Disco Edit's shines through in the cool vibes featured on the track.
Rated X offers a more tech orientated 80's style track, with dynamical elevated synth-lines, old skool 80's style drums and snappy kicks all sewn together with a subtle vocal sample.
Bonanza Records comes with an open attitude to all those genres that live on with an aim of bringing the dance-floors to life.
A forward thinking attitude that also wants to keep alive the vital roots of the scene.

Alli Borem, the Italian Tech-house don who leapt into action three years ago with a huge debut on Desolat is back in top form with three club weapons for Turbo.
Italian acid-tech-house for dancefloors everywhere:
Continuum Gate is a huge, super-effective DJ tool. A wonky acid top-line hovers over rolling, Spastik-style percussion (which everyone loves)... add in massive kicks and a gritty ride and BOOM, the party gets pazzo. 'Children of the Heart' tweaks the reverb and flecks the resonant acid all over your mind... it sounds like Daniel Avery, dipped in tiramisu. Finally, 'Turbo Rolling Ride' ups the jack quotient, with pumping snares punctuating an infinitely grooving bassline.
Solid, playable bombs.

CJ Scott is a Stockholm based house talent with an extra

El Prevost's and D. Ham's warped Allez Ally from El Prevost's Ash ep on Third Ear gets the Apollonia remix treatment from Dan Ghenacia and Shonky. Allez Ally is the opening track on Apollonia's Fabric 70 mix. Dan Ghenacia and Shonky have given the track a new groove and set up D.Ham's wonderful flow to reach many more dance floors with two hard and funky remixes. El Prevost adds a dub version.. that's a Jamaican dub version, not simply the track without D.Ham over it. Rinsed. Plus the original mix to wrap things up.

Dope two tracker on Shanti Celeste's newly ripened Peach Discs from the lady herself.... TIP!
.
Shanti - I started Peach Discs because I feel like the time is right!!! I want to release music that makes me happy and build a little family with all my friends and friends of friends who I know are making great music. I also want this to eventually be my main home for releases. In the future there will be releases by a new Bristol duo called 'Fred' and a 12'' by Samuel as well as many others of course!

The first release, by yours truly, has an emotional and energetic breaksy number on the A side and the B side is a more striped down - ish , tough and bass heavy cut with some vocal samples. Both full of twinkly melodies and arpeggios as per usual! Enjoy : )

This music sounds mysterious and moody. Well constructed works of smudgy acid and intermittent distortion make these tracks equally as ready for a dance floor as they are a spliff. We defaced the labels to further cloak the craftsman.

Es wird Frühling in Berlin. Lange haben wir das Ende der kalten Winterzeit herbeigesehnt, in starker Sehnsucht nach Sonne, Wärme und dem wohligen Open-Air-Gefühl der warmen Monate in der Hauptstadt schwelgend.

It is our pleasure to present to you the first full album by Italian house duo Hard Ton. We're offering you an opportunity for exclusive interviews, reviews and premieres!

"Party Hard Ton" will be released on Austrian label Luv Shack Records, and is about
the uniting aspects of electronic music and the celebration of the concept of partying. The styles featured on the album are as diverse as the artist involved; ranging from dark acid tunes like "Queer Nation", "Never Give up" and "Stumbling ft. Jonny Woo' to playful pop tunes "Right Now ft. Spiller' and "Cold Sweat ft. Space Echo'. "Yeah Yeah ft. Moralez & Sames', "Can You Feel The Love" and "The Way You Rock ft. Mirror People" channel early 80's Chicago house, whilst "Shine By Night ft. Snuff Crew', "Style Ga-Galore ft. ROTCIV' and "Party Hard Ton" have a more jackin' 90's vibe. "Happy House" is Hard Ton`s most modern outing and the blissfully reduced "Be My Spell ft. Adriano Canzian", a twisted ballad, is perhaps the most intimate track on the release.

Hard Ton appeared on the scene in 2009 and have since released music on labels like Dissident, Compost, Permanent Vacation, Gigolo, Internasjonal, Bordello A Parigi and many more. Their playful excursions into acid and classic vocal house have found them plenty of followers and friends, many of whom are now united on "Party Hard Ton".

It's been a good fifteen years now since Vitalic (aka Pascal Arbez-Nicolas) took it upon himself to redefine techno using his native French sensibility, mixing energy and melody to forge his own recognisable style. Many of those tunes, like "Poney", "La Rock 01", "My Friend Dario" and "You Prefer Cocaine" went on to become club classics, blurring the boundaries between techno, disco, rock and pop, and profoundly inspiring and stimulating a scene that had been struggling since the end of the 'French touch' to find something a little more refreshing than filtered disco house. For "Voyager", his fourth studio album composed over the course of two years and the one he considers his most 'disco' ever, Vitalic remembers initially wanting to make something that could barely be danced to, inspired by the electronic music of the 1970s. However, that angle of attack was rapidly diverted. "I changed my mind during production and added beats," he explains. "Voyager" thus became a record that has forgotten nothing of the cosmic disco heritage of the 1980s, dominated by deeply energetic, orgasmic synthesisers with influences from pioneers of the genre like Moroder, Cerrone, Patrick Cowley, Lime, Spacer, Carpenter and Gino Soccio.

Long standing British artist Allen Saei, also known as Aubrey, steps forward in his excellent career with 'Aqua Warrior', an excellent debut EP for the Italian imprint Out Electronic Recordings, which reaches its twentieth release confirming its ever swinging musical approach within House and Techno once again.

Maceo Plex new label Ellum Audio goes from strength to strength. After Ellum's debut single release by Maceo Plex 'High & Sexy', Eric has licensed one of his favourite tracks for a re-release. Bazar 'Hard To Find' originally came out in 2004 and is by none other than DJ Gregory. This re-release couldn't come at a better time, it sounds so current it's unbelievable. Here it comes with two new excellent remixes by Maceo Plex and Danny Daze!

Ramona happily announces Benjamin Milz' first full-grown EP. Being made by a Frankfurt kid with a mature sound signature, "Basic Motions" nods towards what once was and what could be one day.
