House Vinyl New Releases - News

Extended precision-tooled killers on this latest EP from specialist label Assemble Music, which reunites Daze Maxim with his long-time friend and collaborator Patrick Specke. The two put their considerable DJ experience to the proof on two serious heads-down weapons aimed squarely at the floor: 'Battery' rides a threatening bassline and loose, propulsive percussion through a series of phased synth lines that envelop and disorientate, while the Portside Waves-esque bass swells on 'Drag Me' massage the eardrums and direct the feet. Completing the EP in complementary fashion is 'Chromosome', which brings some more skip to proceedings, its shuffling percussion, pitchbent bassline and melodic accents all interlocking to form an irresistible groove. Primed and ready for action and only on vinyl - get it while it's hot.

Paul Woolford aka Special Request bleibt seinem typischen, sehr britischen Rave-Stil treu und liefert - nach Releases auf namhaften Labels wie Planet E (Carl Craig), Running Back (Gerd Janson), XL Recordings oder Houndstooth - ein atemberaubendes Fabric-Set ab, das mit klassischem UK und Detroit Techno von Richard D. James (Caustic Window, Polygon Window), Cristian Vogel und DJ Stingray beginnt, um sich im Verlauf zu einer Tour de Force diverser Schattierungen von Jungle, Drum & Bass und Noise zu entwickeln.

Ahead of the launch of his latest and greatest album, Powers of Ten, Stephan Bodzin is teasing fans with a new single from it. Entitled Birth EP and released on his own Herzblut Recordings on April 24th 2015, it features standout original 'Birth' and a remix by Super Flu.

The album itself is hugely personal and is filled with cerebral messages and well thought out concepts. Due to land in June of this year, it is an engaging listen from start to finish, as are these two new lead singles.

'Birth' is a hypnotic and beautifully melodic track that rolls along at an inviting mid tempo pace. Smeared pads and bendy synths lead up to the skies and vocal coos add an angelic feel to the clean, crisp groove before a soothing breakdown builds tension. Once the track drops again it is a subtly euphoric affair that cannot fail to sweep you off your feet.

Super Flu, aka Herzblut Recordings regulars and German pair Felix Thielemann & Mathias Schwarz, then remix. Their version is laced up with big pain chords and squelchy synths, watery droplets and plenty of deep dance floor drama.

Both these excellent tracks will whet appetites for the full length later in the year and give a magical insight in what to expect from it.

Bedrock 18' compiled by John Digweed consists of 2 discs showcasing 21 exclusive tracks from some of Bedrock's favourite artists and some exciting new names on the label's roster,
D-Nox and Frank Beckers unfurl their distinctive sound steeped in detailed rhythms and mesmerizing harmonies, whilst Marc Romboy unleashes his deeply twisted remix of Emerson, Digweed & Muir's huge 'Fanfare'. the firing percussive funk of CJ Jeff, Guy J's mind-bending '2026'.All stick to the script that electronic music should have no boundaries and creativity and feelings are the only things that matter.

Dripping out of the pores of Tokyo high-rises, Aquarium / Deepspace serves up his debut vinyl release and the second instalment on Natural Sciences.

Drawing on a palette of 90's Detroit house music and the electronic tropes of his home town of Japan, 'Midnight at the Tokyo Central' is the unspoken soundtrack for the lost souls of the metropolis, recounting the ecstasy of smoke-filled dance-floors, the touch of dry ice melting through a fur coat, and travelling through neon at 6am.

Narrated by two separate protagonists under one identity, the Deepspace side explores muscular acid trax, aquatic pads and throbbing deep house jams for the floor, while Aquarium on the flip is coated in hazy electronics and dopamine drained murk, drawing on field recordings taken at Tokyo's central train station (Rainy Night in Shibuya) through to lush subterranean jams laced in serotonin nostalgia.

REPRESSED !!

brokntoys welcomes Dan White for his debut for BT11. A key figure within the Melbourne underground scene, Rory McPike also releases under the alias of Rings Around Saturn and 2200. He has released on labels Forbidden Planet, Cult Trip and Butter Sessions taking in ambient, acid and electro along the way. Here he presents 4 tracks of dusty, emotive, tripped out house and techno that carry an underlying uneasiness for those early morning moments. Limited to 200 hand stamped copies complete with screen printed artwork unique to each copy.

Aptly named DJ Longdick drops HAZE - lo-fi house anthem been doing damage online now for months.. backed with 2 super tape soaked jungle bombs.. Night Scape & First Contact.

Folie a deux is releasing their first vinyl EP on Hamburg based home label Tach & Nacht!
This stunning 4 track EP consists out of 2 original tracks and 2 strong remixes from Andrea Ljekaj and Malbetrieb.
The journey starts with "Pulse", a track full of ambient sounds and dark beats sounding like the night. Continuing with"Axon", a deep story containing a wide range of emotions, which are expressed by complex and dark melodies.
On the B side we come across Andrea Ljekaj's "Pulse remix" which takes you on an intense groove with wide strings representing sun rays breaking through Pulse's dark night. In the end Maltrieb does the job by ending the journey with a perfectly balanced track. Bringing the atmosphere back to a positive and chill vibe. Each track is a different chapter of a story called Pulse EP by Folie a deux.

John Talabot's Hivern Discs label starts afresh in 2015 by introducing a heretofore unknown duo known as INIT. Te pair hails from Frankfurt's Rhein-Main region and comprises Nadia D'Alo` and Benedikt Frey, both of whom were featured on the title track of Massimiliano Pagliara's 2014 LP on Live At Robert Johnson. Frey's cosmic, plodding, and house-related analogue experimentations have also appeared on the iconic Japanese label mule musiq, and this penchant for moody kraut-infuenced psychedelia and atmospheric synth explorations is enhanced by his team up with D'Alo` on INIT's debut album "Two Pole Resonance", set for release September 14.

Benedikt Frey is building a steady reputation both as a Producer (with releases on LARJ, Mule Electronic, Nous'klaer Audio and his own LOPASURA imprint) and as a DJ with a long-standing residency at the legendary Robert Johnson and increasing international bookings. Tis is Frey's duo effort alongside Nadia D'Alo`.

This is Hivern Discs' frst Full Length release and it helps consolidates it's uncompromising approach to music and strengthens it's already eclectic catalogue.

Jerome Hill returns to Super Rhythm Trax with four tracks displaying one of his biggest influences; That of mid nineties Chicago labels like Relief and Dance Mania.

"It's Time For The" has been slaying crowds for the last year with its own no nonsense take on Cajmere's much sampled 'Perculator' track. A hefty dose of fun and playability is injected into this EP and all 4 tracks are designed for maximum body jacking and involuntary head nodding, each bringing something a little different to the table.

Support coming already from : Annie Mac/Radio 1, Justin Robertson, John Heckle, Ben Sims, Mark Archer, Perc, Groove Armada, JD Twitch, Locodice, DJ TLR, Craig Richards, WNCL, James Ruskin, Pangaea, Phil Kieren, Luke's Anger, Posthuman, Bleaching Agent"

Introducing MLTred - Malta Red. The first vinyl only spin off label to LDNwht. MLT001 is a diverse, upfront, four track, limited edition, double A side V/A featuring international Techno from Manni Dee, Jeroen Search, Mike Parker and Gareth Wild

RAAM is back with a killer EP where he moves deeper into his gritty and heavy soundscape.  
RAAM 004 is solid release with influences from both Detroit and Chicago. Alvar is a straight up chord driven banger, with classic 909 drum patterns.
On the flip you will find Unfold, which is a warm, spaced out Chicago track, reminiscent of Boo Williams.
Brink has that magic disco flair; woofing basses and sparkling pads create a shimmering atmosphere. This track is perfect to play whenever, wherever.

In 2016, the Festival in Prora releases another Vinyl, and this time it is a real tasty tidbit. The boys from Kiel, Mitja & Daniel Mes, who also played at this year's festival, included their Track "Feel Free" on the record. This track is the beach-echo and a perfect medicine against the winter blues. The second track originates straight from the Island Rügen, produced by the well-known Irie Island Crew and holds the name "Rügen Rockt". The name speaks for itself and through the well harmonized dub-swing Reggae Vibes be sure to be grooved from north to south of the small Island. The backside of the Vinyl is a piece of handcrafted art. The very distinct Tag am Meer logo is engraved through the help of a special technique called: Etched. This record does not only sound good, but it also looks amazing

After a storming 2016 celebrating Twenty Years of Atjazz, where the master musician himself has spent the year jetting all over the globe performing shows to both loyal fans and new converts alike, Atjazz Record Company is very excited to crown this hugely successful year with a release like no other. Please allow us to present: That Something Else!.

We start with a real treat: the re-release of Atjazz's debut album, That Something, for the very first time on digital formats and never before re-issued. Originally released on the DiY Diversions and Sony (Kioon) labels in 1998, the album has been remastered and re-edited for the 21st century by Atjazz himself. Whilst each track has been delicately tweaked, special treatment has been given to the seminal effort, "Wind & Sea", taking an already well loved track to the next level.

Also included is a selection of previously un-released tunes from the basement archives here at ARCo. Labs. These gems were originally recorded onto digital audio tapes between 1995-97 but never unveiled. They have now had new life breathed into them and have found a welcome home in this celebratory work of Atjazz.

Finally we have included a collection of recovered and reclaimed works that were created in the early days of Atjazz's phenomenally productive career. With remixes from today's finest artists, including Nacho Marco, Charles Webster, Trueself, Si Tew and the master Atjazz himself, the only disappointment is that we couldn't include more from the extensive canon of this titan of house music.

Atjazz himself has expressed his own astonishment and gratitude at the level of love and support that he has received over the last 20 years. He has spent his life in the house music industry, quite rightly becoming the byword for high-production values, musical integrity and total commitment to creating music that not only moves the body but warms the soul. Here's to the next 20 years!

Catz 'n Dogz ready the next 12" on their vinyl only PETS raw and refined offshoot - STEP. This comes in the follow up to records from A1 Bassline, Eduardo De La Calle, Andre Kronert and the label ownersthemselves and marks the return Das Komplex who offers up his 'All For Love' LP.
Hailing from Koszalin in Poland, Das Komplex is undoubtedly an artist of many talents - a full time Architect by trade, he has released material on Father And Son Records and Tapes label and also offered up the extolled and coveted 6th pressing on the STEP imprint back in August 2015 - a record that sold out rapidly after hitting the shelves. Now - his return marks the first foray into long-play formatfor STEP and allows Das Komplex to stretch his legs across 8 masterful Disco grooves.
D¿em kicks things off to a sunny start with sizzling guitar licks and softly pattering bongos before the slick Italo-tinged 'Obelisk' and the richly atmospheric 'Redukcja Dysonansu Poznawczego' follow up. The project spreads out towards the jubilant and dreamy 'All For Love' which leads into 'Brukiew' - an introverted but ultimately feel-good conclusion that wraps up a beautifully balmy collection and another coup for STEP.

This time we present you two young talents from Offenbach am Main with three modular infected quirky groovin House Tracks.
Cedric Dekowski and Felix Reifenberg already put out some fresh music on their own imprint - HardWorkSoftDrink. They are working together in their Studio for a long time now and developed a very own signature sound which you dont hear often these days. Get ready for some funked up House !

Organism make a carefully selected foray into the vinyl market with
their next EP, which comes both digitally as well as on wax, with different tracks making up each
package. The revered Irregular Synth is the man behind the fresh originals and is an Italian producer with a worldwide fan base. He has released on this label before now to great acclaim, as well as on Loose Records and many more, and has a steely and singular style.Up first on the vinyl and digital release is his brilliant 'Final
Decision,' a barreling track with rooted drums and incendiary hi hats that roll and roll. Belgium's Tom Hades is the man who remixes, and does so with a more supple sense of groove. Subtle vocal yelps and smoother hits all scurry along next to his rubber kicks and the overall effect is perfectly hypnotic.Irregular Synth then serves up another fine original in 'Hurricane'. This one is a white knuckle ride through stark techno rhythms with bursts of apocalyptic noise and plenty of industrially tingedtextures. The remix of this one comes from London's Ben Long, the governor at Space DJz and someone with fine techno credentials amassed over many years. His version is loopy, ravey and abstract and really sets your mind in a spin with its stomping drums and disorientating sirens. All those cuts are pressed to vinyl and come on the digital EP, but there are also some bonus digital tracks. These include slick new Mills like techno originals in 'Just Run' (plus a deep tunnelling remix from Greek man Kostas Maskalides) as well as the undulating, heady affair that is 'She's Mandy,' plus an A-Brothers remix of 'Hurricane' that flips the original into dark, broody roller. Overall this is another fulsome package of searing techno that will make dance floors of alldescriptions march to its infectious beat.

Following nearly a year of relentless touring, the Desolat co-founder is ready to drop an exciting new collection of tracks that ooze his musical heritage and customary meticulous style. Collectively they provide a timely reminder why he is one of the most in-demand artists on the planet. Possessing an abundance of touring experience means Dice is more than aware of what will make a party click. This coupled with a carefully bred studio-nous has resulted, expectantly, in a release brimming with dance-floor bombs. The EP kicks off with 'Auxotox' which offers a chugging rhythm; bouncy bass-line alongside a maniacal sample that is gives a haunting early-hours feel. A staccato pulsating synth burst then elevates the track up through the energy levels. This tune has peak-time stamped all over it and will no doubt find its way into the record boxers of many an artist looking for that tool to send the party in the stratosphere. 'Detox' starts where 'Auxotox' leaves off. An aggressive in-your-face bass drum providing the foundation for a sharp vocal sample that continues to galvanise throughout the track. The layers to the track build effortlessly before a bongo inspired loop serves to pick up the pace before a jumpy percussion adds an extra dimension. Not much respite in this track barring the well placed breakdown that harks back to Dice's Hip-Hop past. A great addition that is the genesis of fantastic brass section that is sure to raise the roof. 'Neurotox' is unquestionably the more techno affair. A warbling synth gets to work immediately, and is underpinned by a punchy big room bass line. The tracks driving nature is balanced by delicate rising synths that are sure to please fans of more musical techno. The EP ends with 'Retox' which possesses a dark and steady groove.

Right after having dropped - Connaisseur , the epic collaboration with Olderic, on our 10 year anniversary release, Peter Pardeike now fnally presents his solo debut. Living in Cologne, Peter is mostly known for his collaborations with Marcus Worgull on Innervisions.
His own musical infuences can easily be traced to his
club socialization in the 90ies.
With the title Love Supreme , Peter Pardeike delivers a monster of a track, which we are sure you will not forget. When the remarkable vocoder choir comes in for the frst time, you will feel it reverberate though your entire body, making it stick in you mind forever.
"Love Supreme will defnitely catch your full attention.The track's sequences inaugurate a dance in which they en- and detangle themselves with a dulcet triplet acid approach and an almost popish vocal loop repetition. This track has everything you need, for now and forever.
"Nero on the fipside is a symphony of emotions.
Don't be fooled by the strong marching kick drum andits angular bassline, this track is as tender as swiss chocolate and as majestic as the house of Lannister.
We promise goosebumps and recommend having a person to hug, to dance and to fall in love with next to you. Sunrise calling!

Cologne based artist 'Adryiano' has finally threaded into label managing waters. Ever since the emerge of his multi functional platform 'Cestraw' back in 2011 Adryiano has been twisting and thinking on when to launch the label side of things. After the humble success of his latest "Down South" effort on Soul Notes it felt like the right time.

CR/001 turned out to be an emotive dance floor record that touches several different modes within the spectrum of underground dance music. From the straight forward 303-anthem "Break Module" to the uplifting yet deep, Chicago-ish tones of "Path Of Yours" - Adryiano's "Default EP" is set to unfold just in time for the cold, dark days before Christmas.

For this collaboration on Ostgut Ton they opted for two classic Acid jams.

it der "Physik 1 EP" liefern Atom™ & Tobias. ihre ersten Tracks für Ostgut Ton ab. Beide Künstler bieten ein vielseitiges Spektrum an elektronischer Musik, die sich vielschichtig zwischen Ambient, Electro und Techno bewegt. Für die gemeinsame Kollaboration auf Ostgut Ton wurden jedoch klassische Acid Jams ausgewählt. Auf der ersten Seite wirkt "Physik 44A" mit seiner stetig modulierten Acid Line und den treibenden Percussions wie ein einziger Sweep, ohne locker zu lassen. Die Beats sind üppig und werden mit klassischer Hi-Hat Kunst immer weiter vorangetrieben, bis der Cut-Off des Filters die Pause einleitet, um unvorhergesehen wieder zurückzuschlagen. Auf der B-Seite geht es dann mit "Physik G321V" grooviger zur Sache. Gleiches Thema, aber anderer Ansatz. Besonders der Spagat zwischen der ernsten Stimmung, die vom Track getragen wird und die Kombination der verspielten Vocals, die so vertraut im Acid baden, als wenn sie direkt aus der Vergangenheit kommen. Eine durchaus zeitlose Platte.

Creative partnership Audiofly are the next to release on Crosstown Rebels with the show stopping 'In The (Last) Moment' featuring the angelic voice of Georgia Lewis. The release comes complete with a steadfast remix from Germany's Robag Wruhme.
'In the (Last) Moment' sets the foundation with broken chuggy beats as intricate layers and grumbling pads unfold beneath the beautiful sounds of Georgia's voice. Audiofly explain that, "sometimes it's nice to not have to write the usual peak time bomb, with this one we followed our hearts and the vibe of young vocalist Georgia Lewis and what emerged was a sunrise moment."
With 13 years behind them Anthony Middleton and Luca Saporito AKA Audiofly have established a creative empire, which includes two record labels and their Flying Circus global party brand, which celebrated its 10th anniversary earlier this year with a world tour. Working harder than ever, a second artist album is in the works following on from 2011 long-player 'Follow My Liebe'.
Industry veteran Robag Wruhme has more recently had releases on the likes of Kompakt and Pampa Records. Here he makes an imprint on Crosstown Rebels with this epic remix that fuses elated synths and industrial elements over solid rolling percussion.

Glasgow based imprint Flatpack Traxx returns with a no nonsense 4 track EP made for the dance floor. Collaboration from 2 of the UK's brightest new talents Dissonance and Intact. Both of whom play an integral role within London based collective Surface Music.
Dissonance an Anglo/Italian producer was exposed to strong musical influences having relocated to the UK at an early age. His recent productions are a voyage of exploration, recording for the likes of Spain's Oblack label and 2651 Records alongside Los Pastores and the Willers Brothers respectively.
This collaboration marks the first foray into production for Intact, who has been enjoying success as a regular at of one of London's most exciting clubs Egg.
Where he curates the Obzerv Ldn brand, and this month claiming a residency for Manchester based Label ANIMA.
'Austere' opens the 4 track EP with its crisp percussive elements, classic house stabs and a sweet rolling bassline. Before continuing with 'Back To' which in contrast is a far moodier cut. Spacey pads and chopped repetitive vocals add texture and reinforce the dominant rhythmic elements.
Over on flip 'Bleak' sets the tone with fat rolling beats, layered key stabs and trademark chopped vocals scattered throughout. 'Nocturne' closes out the EP a thick subby groove with dynamic rhythms, hypnotic pads and deep analogue tones.

DJ Spider makes his debut on Radio Slave's Rekids imprint with four physical cuts this June.
A key component in New York's techno scene, over recent years the Plan B Recordings and Sublevel Sounds founder has graced the likes of The Trilogy Tapes, BleeD, KilleKill and Vanguard Sound! Releasing on Rekids as the label celebrates 10 years, Spider's 'Ninja Drive-By' defines why so many hold the American stalwart in such high regard.
'Dirt Nap' leads the release with syncopated percussion and a thumping low-end that takes no prisoners. 'TMC' is a more subdued production in comparison, blending shadowy synths with an intricate drum workout. 'Planetary DisFunkshun' then introduces a penetrating melody amongst robust kicks, until 'Montag' concludes the package with moody pads and an inimitable rhythm.

EYES OF MINE is a series of live studio jams by George FitzGerald. EYES OF MINE is stripped back music made with anything that sounds good. EYES OF MINE is for the dancefloor, not the backstage.

Heist #5 brings you the trademark Frits Wentink sound we've come to love through his recent output on Wolf, 2020Vision and Wolfskuil: Catchy synth loops, distorted basses, and some funky-ass grooves. With 'Shrewd", he throws in a few sexy female vocal snippets and a lovely arp, while 'Ligament' flows along on a rough kick, an equally gritty vocal and a driving portamented pad that filters in and out. 'Sauce' features Dutch singer Loes Jongerling and makes for a wonderful combination with her silky soft voice and Frits' warehouse style percussion.' If I was to gravy you' follows up on with the same rawness in the beats and a lovely sample that you'd love the girl next to you to whisper in your ear time after time: 'I like it like that baby".... Sincerely yours, Lars & Maarten

Repress Alert!

Moustache Techno is a new techno house orientated sublabel Moustache Records

Almost two years ago we reissued DJ Boom 'Kinda Kickin' with an extra Efdemin remix on CURLE-P06. Because y'all loved it so much, we decided to reissue two more Matthew Herbert deep house goodies. After the very well received Linkwood remix of 'See You On Monday', it's now time for one of Herbert's biggest records; 'Deeper', from the iconic "Part Two" EP, 20 years old but still timeless! On remix duties is Basic Soul Unit, who saw his album released on Dekmantel end of last year. We knew he was good, but his remix exceeded each and any of our expectations. What a bomb!!!

It's destination Romania for the next release on the burgeoning Infuse label with IULY.B taking the reins with his 'Harmonics EP'. 'Romance' delves deep with its subdued bass line and off kilter percussion edging the track into hazy territory.

'Supersonic' ups the ante with a sweeping, undulating synth percolating throughout whilst 'Sine Harmonics' is a total gem, with its fresh and unique vibe making it truly stand out as something special.

Jimpster's much loved Eel Pie Island track first graced the coveted 10 Years of Systematic compilation from last year. Now, after widespread love, label boss Marc Romboy has commissioned a set of remixes to give the track an extra lease of life for the coming summer months.
The originals, locomotive esque, slow-mo jam is taken on first by Keinemusik main-man and Cocoon favourite Adam Port. The German brings techno and minimal sensibilities to the fore but with extra tempo and swing. A mid tempo beat drives the track as atmospheric flourishes and nuanced samples create a lighter and breezier feel. An added vocal adds a hazy dose of ethereal pleasure, as Adam creates another slice of musical magic.
Fresh from his Objektivity release, Hyenah offers a version of Eel Pie Island that brings a chiming, plonking vibe, wood block percussion and bongos, all fluctuating in a sea of tribal beats, deep house and delicious sub bass. Another triumph for Systematic.

Who would've ever thought The G man found himself a protege. After the odd 50+ solo releases offered through his Phoenix G imprint 'Mr.G' has found himself a young producer that has a style that connects with the Phoenix G output thus far. With G opening his bag of tricks to him, this can't go wrong. Mysterious Jayson Wynters offers a 4 track record that is hazy, technoid and threads into deep territories every now and then. 'Unfamiliar Territories EP' opens with the deep down perc jam named 'Momentum' a moody dubbish track that sets the tone for things to come. The title track offers a more emotive ride that's being supported by tough saw basses and windy pads that float throughout. The B side openen Science is a tough house cut that is reminiscent of the glory days of US deephouse and sounds as a solid classic rather than a new cut. The closing down bit '1 more' is the same story. Firmly produced drum patterns with classic bass sounds and hazy pads.

Closely following strong releases on both Futureboogie and Craig Richards's Ship To Shore label this summer, PBR Streetgang make their debut on Crosstown Rebels with 'Shade', a collection of music that proves there is no stopping the UK duo right now.
'Shade' is a heavy bass-driven beast of a track complete with an incessant key line and spun-out spoken word samples that's been going down rather well, whilst 'Reading' is a more hedonistic affair, infectious as hell as twice a groovy. On the flip I:Cube delivers a break-feast old school synth-stab-laden take on 'Shade' to maximum effect!
PBR Streetgang are Bonar Bradberry and Tom Thorpe, with a shared history that began in 2003 and swept through residencies at We Love Space Ibiza and Asylum in Leeds, a string of acclaimed remixes and originals for their friends at 2020 Vision, Futureboogie, and Hot Creations, remixes for Bryan Ferry, tours to Japan, USA and Brazil, a month long residency on Rinse FM and still finding time for enjoyment in between.
Prolific French producer I:Cube steps up to remix 'Shade', esteemed for his work on Versatile Records and releasing for over two decades. His brilliant take on the original perfectly compliments this great EP!

Reset Robot has given us two tracks that are absolutely on fire. 'Rebellion' is a slow burning, after-hours groover that packs a punch and harnesses percussion elements to the full effect. 'The Hanging Gardens Of Babylon' is a lot more of a melancholic offering and leads into a beautiful crescendo to finish any night off in style.

'The Light' is the first taste of the weird world created by American vocalist Craig Louis Higgins Jr. and French composer Marc Nguyen Tan. Marc is best know for recording under the name Colder for Trevor Jackson's OUTPUT in the 00s. 2016 see's him back after a ten-year hiatus with two records, the Save! LP and a new Colder one called 'Turn Your Back'.
Forthcoming on Les Disques De La Mort, Save! mines similar terrain to David Lynch's surreal landscapes.
Marc's collaborator Craig Louis Higgins Jr. was born in Cape Cod, MA. He has released his debut album '336 W 17th St.' under the name Mutado Pintado and is also known for contributing the wry vocals to acid house outfit Paranoid London, featuring on their 2014 self-titled album.Like Higgins, Tan is also a painter and video artist. Although the pair only met in person recently, months after establishing Save!, the project is well served by Tan's background as the solitary creative force in Colder. Just what Higgins and Tan are here to save is anyone's guess. It's a name that implies much yet remains elusive and misleading. That's the way the pair prefer it.The debut 12' release comes with a remix by Hivern Disc's Marc Piñol. B1 of the 12' sees Marc re-edit the track under a new moniker Judy Vs Save!, while Les Disques De La Mort boss Ivan Smagghe contributes an edit for side B2.

9 years on from their inaugural release from back in December 2004, Saved Records have now reached their landmark 100th release. Ever since SAVED001, Skylark presents Buick Project - "Chancer / Drop The Beat" Saved have stood as a benchmark for quality whilst nurturing new talent and pushing the envelope for electronic music as a whole. Celebrating the achievement in style, the Maidstone based imprint will be bringing together a mind-blowing collection of the label's favourite producers and DJ's, covering all aspects of the musical spectrum; from deep house to peak-time techno and will be available on limited vinyl samplers.

Saved 100 will feature original material from label bosses Nic and Mark Fanciulli alongside Saved mainstays Robert Dietz, Philip Bader, Stacey Pullen, Gary Beck and Alex Tepper. Mouth-watering remixers include Danny Daze, Frankie Knuckles, Joris Voorn and Adam Beyer with the likes of Subb-an, Spencer Parker, Terrence Parker and Mark Broom all also set to feature in a compilation that displays both the depth and dexterity of Saved Record's impressive back catalogue. The compilation will also come with an exclusive mix from Mark Fanciulli, serving up a label perspective from right within the eye of the Saved nucleus.

The Saved 100 tour began at Output in New York on January 3rd before heading off to Mexico for a stellar Saved showcase at this year's BPM festival. Continuing until April, it will then encompass shows in Tel Aviv, Dublin, Montpellier, Munich, Basel, Barcelona, Chicago, Miami, Detroit, Antwerp, Copenhagen, Toronto and many more.
