House Vinyl New Releases - News

Breach is an artist who has maintained an enviable position successfully straddling the gulf between commercial music the underground. Keeping his feet planted firmly on both sides his multi-faceted catalogue has touched Ramp/PTN, Pets Recordings and Dirtybird as well his own label Naked Naked through which he has pushed music from the likes of Midland, Dusky, Dark Sky and Lorca. Now, in the follow up to his latest EP alongside Cinnaman, Breach returns to AUS music who follow up releases from Bwana, Tom Demac and Youandewan and continue to persist with unparalleled consistency. Breach's 'Dim Sum' EP is a moody collection that reasserts his status as a producer who's just as capable of working with a stripped framework and smokey textures as he is with catchy melodies and vocal hooks. The title track kicks things off with a gravelly percussive loop that circles ahead of a passage of jarring synth stabs. The tenor dips again before dramatic acoustics build toward a wall of thick interweaving melodies. 'Anna Love' then lays a glassy sheet over tough, concrete percussion before Breach teases the filters on a bold and husky synth tone. 'Purple' then rolls out it's whittled elements as a disquieting vocal snippet, clipped percussion and a swelling synth tone rotate ahead of a plunge into a dense, aquatic effect as Breach continues to add dimensions to his catalogue and keep us guessing which direction he'll be taking next.

Fresh from guesting on the debut Powell LP 'Sport' (XL Recordings), and having released on labels such as The Tapeworm, Entr'acte, and Halcyon Veil, Dale Cornish now presents 'Clap' - four rhythmic experiments that explore the mesmeric tones of the digital clap using the ever-popular TR909 clap pre-set. Sharing similarities in intention with N.M.O's as strict as possible' approach, pieces subtly evolve and mutate around the clap to generate motion, tension and action.Oolovka' takes an unashamedly joyous look at the clap, where melodic repetition whirls and whirls until it takes on a form of mesmerising minimalism - perhaps taking its cues from a modern take on Steve Reich's 'Music for 18 musicians' as a backdrop for the clap to playfully roll over and mutate into a sound which is both refreshingly light hearted yet steeped in rhythmic experimentation.Cxema' takes us a into a tenser, more claustrophobic space where a heads down pulse keeps the body locked until the fog is occasionally broken and the tension momentarily cleared via delayed claps and familiar sonar tones. This vibe continues into 'Isolate' with Cornish upping the anxiety by using the clap as a foreboding menace. Coming across like an inspired soundtrack to a military performance piece the concern appears to revolve around strict precision and strict movement and how the clap can be used to enforce and heighten this functional display.Before Encore' winds things down by stripping things back to the bare minimum for movement - a single effected clap gradually layers and layers itself to create pleasingly odd high tension atmospherics solely through a meticulous process of delicate rhythm and repetition.

Dominik's newest invention is all about the manifoldness of nature and the process of transformation when stones become jewels.
3,500 different minerals have been discovered so far. Dominik has chosen three jewels that carry animal names and has female artist Miri D'Oro bring them alive on the cover with her self painted bird collage technique for which she has gained international reputation.
The opening track of his new Traum EP "Taubenblut" (eng. dove blood) starts off with an excursion into massive deep baseline spheres all dubby and minimalistic by nature.
But all of you who know Dominik Eulberg will appreciate that it does not take long for one of his unique melodies to then conquer that feeling.
This time that sequence is bold and made out of sweat and tears (crystals) and manifest a collective spirit par excellence! Viva La rave!
It is a seductive melody that shines like a turning crystal while delivering simultaneously fine and deep cuts to your skin.
But feelings won't become stale with Dominik Eulberg and so he adds layer upon layer, to destroy the theme and to lead us to another level.
When all of it snaps and plunges into an underwater world we know that this arrangement is as thought out and skilled as so many of his tracks in the past.
"Falkenauge" is a track which speaks the language of Dominik Eulberg's recent releases on Traum, expressing an explicit feeling of wanderlust, advocacy and longing. It is a walk through nature all picturesque and colorful and if you listen closely, the sequences seem to "talk" to you. Which is not a mere phrase but actually seems to really have this affect on the listener.
When we asked Dominik he explained: "it must have happened through subconsciousness and I became aware of it later when I listened to the track after resting!"
Witness joyous ripples of melodies of blooming wildlife with "Falkenauge"!
"Katzengold" describes an atmosphere of perfect harmony with nature, no hardship, no self destruction... and this is what Eulberg has always been best at.
Living in the Westerwald has given him enough ideas to draw from, to write a track that can caress our senses. For all of you who liked his "Die Strandmieze von St. Peter-Ording" expect that heartwarming and jolly feeling to hit you again.

We are still looking for special sounds and this time is the turn of the German duo Einsauszwei, beauty and elegance for their first track "Poly" , mixing and fit perfect with the dancing second track: "Drop". We add one remix from Reelow, you can feel the power of this artist in all of his work and for us always is a pleasure release with him.

Limited Comapct Cassette Edition

Following recent releases from Vakula, Alex Danilov and Andrey Zots, Arma turns its focus towards the unique, transcendental sound of Hypnobeat. The project has its roots in the DIY industrial scene of Frankfurt in the early '80s, spearheaded by Perlon affiliate James Dean Brown (Narcotic Syntax) in collaboration with artists including Tobias Freund, Victor Sol and Pietro Insipido. Aside from a few underground cassette releases, the project was mainly a live venture made up of polyrhythmic workouts on an array of drum machines and effects units, long before the practice became so fashionable. After many years in the wilderness, Hypnobeat received a shot in the arm thanks to the increased interest in obscure tapes from the early industrial period. Given her own modern explorations of raw drum machine science, Brown invited Helena Hauff to join him in performing Hypnobeat live with a setup that revolves around three 808s and an assortment of other rhythm boxes, a formidable arsenal of effects, and no preconceived plan. As well as shows at Les Siestes Electroniques and CTM (where the duo shook the walls of Berghain), Brown and Hauff were invited to perform for the Save Festival at Arma17 in Moscow in March 2015. It is from this set that the material on Ritual Fire Dance is gathered, aptly titled as the interlocking percussive rumble takes on a cyclical, tribal quality as aligned with traditional music as it is with contemporary electronics. The recording has been edited into two sections that adorn each side of the 12", peppered with enthusiastic approval from the crowd to affirm the intensity of the moment this incendiary music was performed live. As well as the widespread vinyl release there will be a limited cassette featuring the entire unedited performance, for those seeking the full hit

Seine Debüt EP nahm Patrick O'Laoghaire aka I Have A Tribe mit Rob Ellis (PJ Harvey/Anna Calvi) und Conor O'Brien von den Villagers auf, begleitete dann auf ausdrücklichen Wunsch der Künstlerin Anna Calvi auf ihrer Europatour, eröffnete für die Villagers ihre irische Homecoming-Show und spielte ebenfalls die New Yorker Clubs Electric Picnic und CMJ. I Have A Tribes Blend aus Popsensibilität und folkiger Melancholie war nie offenkundiger als auf dem faszinierenden Song "Monsoon" sowie dem EP Titeltrack "Yellow Raincoats". Dieser erlangte die Aufmerksamkeit von Frank Wiedemann (Âme, Howling), der ihm seine ausgezeichneten Remixkünste verlieh und ihn zu einem wahren Pop-Juwel schliff.

Hot on the heels of Refraction Vol. 2, Residual welcomes the return of long time friend John Tejada. The prolific programming master serves up salacious selections that are searing to say the least. The lead track Jaco is a Pepe Bradock influenced piece the twists and turns with breaky beat work. The numbers on the B side are firmly focused on filing the dance floor. Round the Outside shows Tejada in top form. Upfront drums and basslines perfectly paired with flittering melodies. Repurposed is more minimal in form but no less effective. Quirky tweeks along cascading riffs.

'Sidetracking - Part 1: Prologue' is the first vinyl taste of Jona's de- but album project for Alex Niggemann's forward-thinking AEON la-bel. The musical puzzle will be completed in February 2016 with the release of a second vinyl instalment, featuring 6 more original tracks, and the full 10-track album on CD format. Created over the course of two highly creative years, the concept for 'Sidetracking' was for Jona to invite some of his musician and producer friends to collaborate with him in the studio and compli- ment his album's solo productions. This impressive coming together (to be fully revealed over the coming months) features Varoslav (Rue de Plaisance, Paris), Usio (Studio Barnhus), David K (Cocoon), Bo- livian percussionist Daniel Aguilar, Italian pianist Giovanni Verga, and Edinburgh-based producer The Reverse Engineer. Driven by his desire to explore new sound perspectives and ideas, Jona has carefully forged his career path by consistently creating exciting and forward-thinking music. His previous label outings: 'Traffic' on 'Lost Tapes Volume 1' (AEON010) and 'Gemini EP' (AE- ON016) have seen him fine-tune his own unique sound. By incor- porating a wide range of styles into his tracks, Jona strives to break down unnecessary boundaries and explores new ideas and ways to ignite that hallowed dancefloor flame. It is therefore no wonder that his collaborative creations for 'Sidetracking' have yielded such stimulating aural delights. Fittingly, the album prologue opens with a track whose style is heav- ily influenced by the jazz music that Jona was so in love with dur- ing his formative years. Calling on the somewhat mysterious Usio (whose 'Kuwa Huru' LP on Studio Barnhus should be checked by everyone) to join him in a studio jam, has resulted in 'The Chase', an utterly compelling afro-beat influenced percussive groove, topped with swirling funk-fuelled stabs and strings, mesmerising chiming piano, and a large helping of pure, hip-swinging goodness. Taking 'The Chase' on an entirely different and yet perfectly com- plimentary twisted trip, AEON family members Simone Sinatti and Marco Paladin (aka Speaking Minds) conjure up a futuristic technoid disco demon that is all about throbbing energy, sweat, darkness and hissing smoke machines - perfect ingredients for an unforget- table strobelight serenade. Changing the mood entirely and cutting the tempo to a dublicious skank, 'Transmission Breakdown' sees Jona's experimental creative juices in full flow, as he teams up with Edinburgh-based digital com- poser and sound artist Dave House (aka The Reverse Engineer) for a delightfully hazy downtempo jam. Both as an artist and a DJ, Manchester's Marcus Intalex has been at the forefront of soulful, musical drum & bass for what seems like forever. A passion for techno has always run deeply through his music and under his Trevino moniker he is also a powerful creative force (check his recent 'Front' album to get the full picture). Here, he takes 'Transmission Breakdown' on a magical excursion, filled with subtle, hypnotic, evolving energy, anchored with an irresistible pul- sating bassline throb - a perfectly synergetic interpretation to round off Jona's 'Sidetracking' album prologue in style.

Hannah Holland's iconic Batty Bass makes a welcome return back on wax with main man Josh Caffe joining forces with the Belgian production don's The Subs (Lektroluv) delivering a slice of deep underground electro techno brilliance.
An all out acid remix from Posthuman (I love Acid) flipped with a tripped out, driving, hypnotic remix from Aerea Nergot (BPitch control/Rush Hour/Moshi Moshi) make this an
essential vinyl release.

Two years ago, Kask debuted on Legendary Sound Research to the acclaim of world class taste-makers such as Motor City Drum Ensemble, Jeremy Underground and Bicep. His new EP 'Homegrown' features the same energy and vibrancy filtered through a mature formula of music making. File under: carefree melancholy, soul-searching beat theory and other-worldly new wave.

'The Right Way' takes familiar soul-funk vocals and orchestrates them with pure raw sentiment. Is it love, is it lust, is it right, is it wrong Is it unrequited, is it mutual Are we together or alone It's all in this track! 'Kick It' is a rhythm study. The groove swings hard from the first bar to the last snare-clap combo of the track. Accents of organs and euphoric strings punch in and out adding suspense and excitement. 'Ouroboros' is, as you'd expect from recent LSR releases, the EP's cosmic exploration. The melody is composed of galactically reverberating elements as if observing matter on a universal scale. It all flows infinitely, while crunchy beats are the precise mathematical equations that decipher these gravity-distorted images of existence into sharp glimpses of emotion.

For our second 12' release on Tobus Limited X, we welcome Kolombo who joined with Sammy W & Alex E to make 'Strider', a full and complete EP featuring three tracks with remixes from ICS, Chemical Surf and Vintage Culture. So here it comes!

The next release on Innervisions comes from icy Finland, home of Säkhö and so much other great music. Mr. Rantanen aka Lil' Tony is not only a close friend, but also an artist we really like. It's great that finally this friendship lead to a full release on Innervisions.

Irish techno duo Loco & Jam return to MB Elektronics with their powerful 3-tracker ''A Pinch of Spice EP''. The boys are no strangers to top notch techno and they prove it once again. Another storming EP showcasing 3 spicy diamonds, ready to siege every dancefloor's corner with endless amounts of energy. You have been warned.

Two terrific wave inspired tracks by Marc Houle on Innervisions, backed with two divers reworks by Red Axes and The Golden Filter.

Night Light Records presents a very limited release with their best digital releases till date. Mladen Tomic, Paride Saraceni, Sinisa Tamamovic & Dani Sbert provide the vibes on this excellent 4 tracker.

The now well established contemporary house outlet that is Avotre turns to label boss Santé for its next EP. Featuring two brand new cuts, it comes with three firing remixes from huge names in the form of DJ Hell, Butch and Emanuel Satie.
Berlin based DJ and producer Santé has been rolling out the jams since 2009 on his own label as well as those like Desolat, Hot Creations and Cocoon to name but a few . His style is tough and rugged and is one that always makes dance floors sweat, and it will be no different once his next excellent missives are out into the world.

First up, 'Dusty Roads' is grainy, lo-fi house jam with some free wheeling synths that extend into the night sky. Firm kicks power things along and the groove comes for some expert hi hats. The first remix is from German-Turk Butch, a long time hit maker both solo on labels like Desolat , Rebirth, Rekids and Cocoon, but also with the likes of Ricardo Villalobos. His track is more techy in nature, with forceful snares and kinetic percussion as well as an upwardly mobile drum line that really brings lots of energy to the track. Also remixing is the one and only International DJ Gigolo label boss DJ Hell. His mix is an electro fried cut with frazzled synths, stuttering bass and paranoid, droning synths that all add up to one perfectly intense and heady trip.
Up next is Santé's 'Never Enough', a deep, inviting and loopy number with carefully exploding melodies and tons of sonic detail all peppering the drums. It's the sort of standout cut that would mark the highlight of any set and proves Santé really does have an exigent sound all his own. Remixing this one is Emanuel Satie, who goes for a barreling, full throttle version with fat drums, vocal stabs and rattling percussion that makes you want to shake your limbs.
This is yet another standout house EP that is filled with a range of flavours and is designed for maximum dance floor impact.

Vinyl Only! 200 Copy! No digital release!

The third instalment of the "Stil vor Talent Berlin" compilation series brings forth a new gang of carefully selected artists, gathered under the umbrella of another underground Berlin hotspot. Kottbusser Tor is undoubtedly the beating heart of Kreuzberg, unashamedly pulsating 24/7 with the good, the bad and the ugly. There's no place quite like it, thanks to its raw charme. As always, music is the common denominator and Oliver Koletzki delivers the perfect soundtrack with this new release, while Chrisse Kunst renders the visual.

Society 3.0 Recordings set out to put together a collection of songs in the form of an excellent 12" Maxi Single / Digital Download release, featuring 6 tracks from a host of talented artists.Marc De Vole & Ray Simon dominate the first half of the record, with their incredible dense sound and awe-inspiring deep house philosophy. Mr. De Vole has been into electronica since the late 90s, and his seasoned experience clearly shows through his track. This is an artist who strives to create focused and punchy tracks, yet retain a very special intuition that add that sought-after "human touch" to his works.Russian artist "Tuneon" dominates track n.3, "Blumarine". The song flirts with 90s disco and house influences, adding some color and texture to the setlist, without straying too far from the mood previously set by Marc De Vole and Ray Simon.The second half of the release features the work of Sergio Parrado and Ernesto Paredano, who set out to collaborate on 3 tracks for this release. These tunes showcase a more modern and European approach to the sound. On "Mamey" and "Krill", the pair showcase an interesting approach to percussiveness, creating intricate and dense rhythmic pattern that truly drive the songs. Closing number "Tempranillo" embodies the spirit of classic deep house and tech, serving as a perfect closing number for such an exciting and diverse release.

We are proud to have Tale Of Us' new baby, Afterlife Recordings, new within our Muting The Noise family. This first proper compilation is introducing the circle of similar minded friends around the Italian crew.
Well-known names with new and surprising additions to the roster, deep and dark at the same time.
We love this record and everyone can find his own favourite! Kristian

April will see Alex Danilov, notable DJ and producer from Yekaterinburg, release his music on Arma. Published along with 'reshape' by Fred P., three original tracks constitute the Noises EP — the second release of the label in 2016. Being welcomed to diverse clubs throughout Russia and Europe, Alex Danilov has all the experience needed to know how dance music works. His own productions are about finding the way to sustain deep mystic atmosphere within signature low-pass rhythm picture. Side B, containing both original and remix of 'Unknown Numbers', shows how this approach varies from classy style of Fred P. aka Black Jazz Consortium. Noises EP is the 12th release by Arma. The cover features artwork by P.Kuznetsov.

Strong EP of emotive electronics from Belgian wunderkind on Apollo AMyn AKA Niels Blondeel delivers a 7 track bumper collection of his singular song craft - combining aching melodies with lush, expansive production and sound design.Self taught with a heavy emphasis on sound design and atmospherics, Blondeel's acclaimed initial dancefloor explorations soon found a more natural fit in the introspective tracks herein, and a perfect compliment on the Apollo roster, nestling alongside the likes of Synkro. The fruits of his labour are now richly delivered on the 'Best Heard..' EP.Combining a cinematic sensibility with melancholic harmonics is Amyn's true gift - witness the slow burn percussive pulse of the opener and title track - winsome vox cruise over the richly woven blanket of synth chords, and gently clanking sound design perc building to a fluttering climax. Other highlights include the desiccated minimal funk of 'Side Of Golden You' - soul-burning chords and hazy vocal tones bounce atop the bumping rhythm track, and majestic collab 'Youniverse' featuring the dulcet vocals of Alex Nelos, set against AMyn's shimmering soundscape of synths and percussion. Closing track 'Turn' is perhaps the thematic core of the record - an epic electronic torch song, all yearning vocals and skying prophet chords that manages to conjure grandstanding emotion without resorting to needless bombast.Blondeel is always refining his sound - his only goal to evoke emotions through musical storytelling, it's clear that on that level the 'Best Heard In Shadows' EP is a resounding success.

The launch of Character, the new label of Swiss DJ/Producer Deetron, was announced in July of this year with the well received Ripperton collaboration 'Mars'.

002 sees Deetron flying solo to deliver his first new EP since the release of his much acclaimed 2013 album Music Over Matter. Built around a warm analogue bassline, Photon comes in two versions with its Dub showcasing a stripped back feel while the Original confidently strides into Piano-Rave territory.

The sound of summer still burns bright with Photon, and this winter warmer is set to heat our floors for many months to come.

Using his 2014 Opal Tapes opus 'Holo Earth' as a jump-off point, Jimmy Billingham aka Holovr lays down an expansive 5 track mini LP for Edinburgh's Firecracker Recordings. Deeply atmospheric and functioning in multiple realms, Trace Realm is a collection of drawn out acid and ambient textures with nods to early UK rave and no wave electronics. Essential celestial, new age dreaminess, battered acid and fried techno.
- Unique 5 track EP from Holovr

Audiojack had a great 2014 with a collaborative release alongside LCD Soundsystem's Nancy Whang, EP's on Defected, 2020Vision and Tsuba, and remixes of Romanthony and Hot Since 82 surfacing, here we see the ever on-point duo open up 2015 with some fresh material for their very own Gruuv label.


Since launching Gruuv back in 2010 the pair have unleashed material from the likes of Huxley, Jimmy Edgar, Darius Syrossian, Copy Paste Soul, A1 Bassline and Phil Weeks, testament to their broadly attentive A&R approach with the imprint. Now a year deep into their relocation to Ibiza, Audiojack have left behind their former UK influenced sound palette, and instead embraced their surroundings to envelop new material with the stripped back style of electronic music their new home turf is known for.


The EP opens up with 'Scarlett Groove' and sees the duo provide their typically rugged drum style layered up with chuggy sub-bass tones, while a wandering synth licks sporadically meanders into the groove to create a looming, mesmeric vibe.


'Luna' follows and tips the focus over to a more ethereal feel with floaty atmospherics and murmuring vocal chops, while the bubbling percussion and gritty bass stabs draw you into the smooth, yet mind-bending rhythm.


Lastly to round up the three-tracker we have 'Psychonaut' which sees Audiojack lay down a raw, percussion-led workout, instilled with subtle details and intricate processing layered in the depths of the composition. As expected we're treated to three classy, dance floor focused records here, making it a fantastic way to mark 40 releases for Gruuv

Its a bold and brave producer who takes on the task of remixing a stone-cold classic cut from the annuals of House history, but thats just what Joris Voorn, KiNK, Phil Weeks and Ambivalent have done with their fresh versions of DJ Dozia's Ovum debut 'Pop Culture'. Originally released back in 1998 'Pop Culture' rapidly gained cult status on the underground. Created by fellow Philly resident Dozia Blakey, the raw and sparse original, at over ten minutes, was made for the dark, strobe-lit, sweat-on-walls rooms where it found favour. Backed by the equally popular Size-9 remix, 'Pop Culture' was, and still is, a record that never leaves the box for many. Now, with a fresh set of remixes, its set for a glorious return. The original twelve inch is still one of the most sought after twelve inches on discogs. So what did persuade our set of remixers to take on this challenge Well, lets ask them... Joris Voorn - It was a defining moment finding Dj Dozia's Pop Culture in my local record store in 1998. The simplicity of the record was evident, but the few elements in combination with the classic Peech Boys acapella sounded like more than the sum of it's parts. It was the blueprint of forward thinking house music, a sound that would inspire me to make tracks like 'Sweep The Floor' 10 years later. I remember asking Josh in 2007 if I could remix Pop Culture, but the remix offer came in much later. It turned out be an almost impossible task remixing a track so simple and powerful, it simply couldnt be improved. So I tried stepping away from the original sound and create something that is more like a nod to the original. Phil Weeks - This is without a doubt one of my favourite all-time 'classic' records. Since day one. So I was very happy to be asked to come on board with a remix. That's also the reason why I stayed pretty close to the OG version.' Ambivalent - Pop Culture is one of my all-time favorite records, not just on Ovum, but in the history of dance music.

First Dosem's album on Suara was released on September of 2014. After his great success it deserved a solid remix Pack with some of the hottest artists from the worldwide electronic scene.
In this first part we have four of his best friends remixing some tracks from City Cuts. Coyu giving his personal touch to Message, Uto Karem doing his job with Expression and Christian Smith and Wehbba working hand in hand on City Pulse. Remember... This is just the first part!

Onnset's fourth release is delivered by label co-founder JoeFarr. Position Ep rounds off the series with three original tracks and a remix by Jamie Curnock.
