House Vinyl New Releases - News

Soft bangers and beatless movements from Brooklyn­ based producer UMFANG, following up last years 1080p ­released cassette 'Ok' with the five track 'Riffs' 12'.

This vinyl debut finds her tripping on ambient and rediscovering the Microkorg that she tried to sell but started experimenting with again. These five vivid tracks are a logical progression from the previous polyrhythmic techno—footwork thoughts, avoiding 4/4 and textured with imagery, simple melodies and landscape ­invoking sensations.

UMFANG is Emma Olson, prolific DJ, co­-founder of Discwoman and programmes Technofeminism, a monthly residency at Bossa Nova Civic Club focusing on emerging local talent and an affection for vinyl.

Mumble is back with its second instalment of the VA limited series.

Bringing together artists from Romania, Hungary and Slovakia this release is sure to deliver musical diversity.'

Limited copies.

After the pre-take before the summer, WPH brings you 'Take 1' in its tribute to the biggest Belgian electronic music heritage...new beat! Four new killer cuts by a 100% WPH family line up, also welcoming long-time friend Aril Brikha to the family.
Take 1 opens with San Soda in his Nick Berlin guise, providing us with some serious acid business to freak out any floor. Aril Brikha goes very deep on his cut, giving us all a very unique interpretation of new beat, exactly the point of this series. Both Sebastien San and WPH head honcho Red D were there when new beat erupted, and so they provide you with classic new beat tracks, taking you right back to the days of slow in Ghent's Boccaccio and Antwerp's AB.

REPRESSED !!

NOLEIAN REUSSE and JAMAL MOSS team up again as AFRICANS WITH MAINFRAMES for "FACES OF AFRICA EP". Think early IBADAN or SMILE records B-sides of murky excursions in Tribal and Techno!

nice groove stuff from switzerland !!

Having made his Ovum debut alongside Michael Penman on the hugly popular 'Shimmer' EP back in 2013, Berlin's US born resident Ambivalent returns to the label, flying solo, with his fantastic new double-header 'Phase Doubt'. A decade of making music has seen Ambivalent showcase his work on a envious list of labels from Minus to Mobilee, Cocoon to Clink and many more. Always looking to evolve, 2012 saw new faces and sounds from the American in the form of the housier Amber and the techno-tangent of LA-4A, both backed by the launch of his new vinyl imprint Valence. A busy, inspiring and impressively productive period. The Phase Doubt EP is his most recent creation and again sees Ambivalent avoid tiring techno templates to inspire with the latin rhythms and uplifting melodies of the title track. Dancing synth riffs, pulsing chords and scattered, rapid, snares all come together to create an exotic and heady opening number. On the flip, Selfed Out is built around its epic lead synth that both creates and dominates the outrageous groove and drive of the track. Stunning.

Sukhumvit Records' debut release comes from one of London's shining stars. Archie Hamilton has firmly established himself as one of the city's most sought-after artists; this year having been a very strong one, with release after release consistently hitting #1 spots.

On the A Side, 'Troublemaker' is a rugged and shameless bomb. The driving bass and unmistakable hook have been tearing up dance floors across DC10, FUSE, Weather Festival, Awakenings and many others all summer.

'The Universe' on the flip is a more heady affair. With a driving rhythm track, trippy vocal and and ethereal pad; a tried and tested moment-maker. Burgeoning Mannheim talent Fabe completes the package with a very strong remix, toughening up the the original, making the groove his own with his signature bass and shuffle.

There's trouble brewing in the universe...

Arttu presents CYBLO!

The Berlin-based producer is kicking off his label with a four-track single.

While he is perhaps not as name-checked as some of the hardware hawking house heads of modern times, Arttu Snellman has been working hard at gritty box jams for a good few years now. He first appeared under his Arttu guise in 2011 with the Nuclear Funk and Fear Diluted singles on Royal Oak and Philpot respectively, and then proceeded to wheel out tunes for 4 Lux and Chiwax over the ensuing years. Prior to the tough-edged pump of his current ventures, you could find Snellman indulging in a more laptop-centric kind of practice under the name Lump. This more minimalistic, glitchy house fodder could be found on labels such as Karloff, Morris/Audio and Süd Electronic amongst many others. Back in the here and now though, Arttu was last spotted on Clone Jack For Daze earlier this year with the Rave Dogz 12', and next up he's taking matters into his own hands.

Existing fans of Arttu will be more than pleased with the heavyweight, crunchy tackle that inhabits CYBLO01. This is dynamic business with same heft found on previous releases from Snellman, mixed in with the cheeky flair that has always marked his productions out in a crowded marketplace.

There is so much to discover in the world (of music) and once again the Berlin based DJ DOMPE aka Dominic Wagner shows us his interpretation of his world, so his newest EP is called PLACES and it´s Number 75 of the Stylerocket Releases.
Cheerful Percussions and a nice bassline with a good vocal welcome us for the first track same named as the EP. The Remix Version is made by ENZO SIFFREDI, one of the Stylerockets-Newbies and a high talented DJ and Producer based in Brighton. The Remix Version is more ticked and pushing.
Pitch Pink is number 3 and colours up your life with a perfect sound arrangments. Elmar Strathe pitched a bit more and gave a great remix track to the EP.

All together: another well done EP from DOMPE for Stylerockets, grap your vinyl just right now.

Late March will see Unclear Records release the 'Stella' EP from label-founder Elia Perrone & Gigi Masin, accompanied by a Juju & Jordash Remix!

Arezzo, Italy born artist Elia Perrone launched the imprint in 2011 with his 'Beginning' EP and since the label has gone to release works from the likes of Rick Wade, Roman Fluegel, Baby Ford and Oliver Deutschmann. Here we see Elia return to his Unclear imprint via a collaboration with Venetian producer Gigi Masin, notably known for his ambient works which he's been releasing since 1986. The original mix of title track 'Stella' kicks off the release and sees Elia and Gigi deliver a engaging slice of ethereal ambience via expansive atmospherics, swelling strings lines and muted percussion hits. 'Garden Blues' follows and sees the duo fuse reverse reverb sweeps, enchanting strings melodies and soaring vocal murmurs with glitching percussion and bubbling synth licks. Opening the latter half of the release is Juju & Jordash's take on 'Stella' and in typical fashion from the duo we're treated to raw drums, multi-layered snaking melodies and a general dynamic and lo-fi feel throughout the compositions baroquely evolving eight minutes. Niro Perrone then rounds off the
package with his 'Niro Love Mum Remix' of 'Garden Blues', delivering a more straight 4/4 interpretation with jazzy percussion and intricately chopped snippets of the original parts re-constructed with an
infectious swing.

Returning for another spastic floor beating with jack tracks and Gherkin acid experiments from STEVE POINDEXTER and JAMAL MOSS aka HIEROGLPYHIC BEING, this 3rd FACE OF DRUMS EP on MATHEMATICS does not disappoint!

Funkwerkstatt feat. Stephan Zovsky - Lost EP

Behind Funkwerkstatt there are Derrick Porter & Nicola John - both
known because of their fresh own inventive and vigorous House sounds.
For the Stylerockets release they connected with Stephan Zovsky, a 28
years old boy from Mecklenburg , high talented and a house music lover.
Funkwerkstatt feat. Stephan Zovsky with the tracks 'PHYSICAL
ATTRACTION' and 'LOST' - physical attraction is arranged with a
magnificent vocal - absolutely great, quite simple baseline, but such
a fantastic track. Thumbs up! Also
LOST does not have to hide itself.
Quite different style, but it shows the variety and high quality of
Funkwerkstatt feat. Stephan Zovsky. A little bit deeper at all and
more screwed.

Cat.nr. 2400 comes as a four-tracker with grooves from Crooks + Lovers, Grizzly, Savvas from Greece and So Late. The new-not-so-newcomer Crooks + Lovers second track for O*RS. - Yaiza' tickles you with soft vocals and a higher bassline. If you like you can call it a 'happy dubtechno' track. Grizzly, well known for his psychedelic slow-jams lives up to his name. - Juli im August' is build around one simple beat heightens the chords and expands the room.The A-Side with Savvas and So Late leads a warm course. Savvas' - Other Side' is made for the early slot to build up the perfect night. But do you know the time during a club night when you danced for two hours and you have to decide to stay or go Mutiny by So Late is your decision to stay.

The third instalment for Nightime drama returns with Infinite Loops presenting something special again with his non conformist sound. The title track Dirt, a what could become a staple in the dub techno world. A mission in a sandstorm.. Espionage in the desert.. Moody, driven with gritty stabs and textures surrounded with experimental atmospheric elements. Deep and dubby, a real masterpiece and a must have track! If you loved NTD001 then you will find persiflage takes it to the next level of what you would call the Infinite Loops hypnotic groove. Beautiful,sparse,unpredictable chords that hide and jump out backed with driving beats! Both tracks complimenting each other on this high quality release topped off with mastering by the brilliant Stefan Betke (aka-Pole).

With the third vinyl output on Empore Music, we're glad to present you another young talent from the north of Germany. The talented virtuos Jérôme Sklorz aka. Jeremy Liar from Hamburg brings us a well-balanced EP, which seamlessly builds the bridge between a deep house and melodical techno. On the A-side the title track "Annapurna" comes in handy when its time to set fire to the dancefloor during peaktime hours. Straight forward techno with a nice arpeggiator as the main part throughout the song, with some pads coming in that create a trancy atmosphere. On the flip-side we meet "Semikolon". A deeper take on house music with the certain dreamy "Jeremy Liar"-vibe, as we already know it from his remix on the second Empore. In addition Zaun Recordings founder ZK Bucket delivers a more techy version from the flip-side as a nice and more 4-to-the-floor-ish alternative besides the original.

Italy's Katal who delivers three hypnotizing house tracks with British producer TIJN providing a remix.

Katal may be a newcomer but his accolades are continually impressive having released on the likes of Oblack, Isgud, Downhill Music and Roush. His next outing sees him arrive on Blind Vision Records for the imprint's second release following on from an exceptional debut from Juliche Hernandez.

Soft synths, intricate percussion and a lively bassline combine to form a low-slung groove in 'Diamond' before TIJN, who's released on Isgud, Overall Music, Decay and his own imprint In Haus Wax, then remolds the track by stripping it back and emphasizing ebbing pads and a composite rhythm. 'Room 201' is a mesmerizing affair featuring distorted samples, crunchy rimshots and deep chords before 'Transmission' concludes the package with syncopated drums and ethereal tones.

Marco da Mata & Ema - Safka - Original
Finefood records is very excited to release Safka EP by two very promising Swiss artists, Marco da Mata & Ema. Light and airy yet slave to an unrelenting dance floor beat, this original track, while being wild as a lion, is restrained by intricate melodies and tamed by haunting whispering voices.
Marco da Mata & Ema - Safka - Dan Noel Remix
This remix of Marco da Mata & Ema's original by friend Dan Noel is a housy take on the this Finefood Records dance floor bomb, he is not about to tame the beast but adds to its fury and urgency. Fat kicks and subtle effects render this track even more effective.
Marco da Mata & Ema - Safka - David Torr Remix
Remixing among friend is one of the luxuries that this Finefoods EP has to offer. Neuchâtelois David Torr has taken the essential wildness of the original track by fellow Swiss artists Marco da Mata and Ema and has added a new, sharper  tech house perspective
Marco da Mata & Ema - Safka - Robie Rios Remix
Robin Rios stripped back the track to it's bare essentials and has added waves of sound and new rhythmics to the original Finefood Records track by Marco da Mata & Ema. Swiss excellence at its best he has brought out the wild lion in the track instead of taming it.

The aptly-titled 'Raw Materials' sees Marquis Hawkes making a welcome return to the primitive house rhythms for which he became known via his early work for Dixon Avenue Basement Jams.

· Highly influenced by house originators Ron Hardy, Gene Hunt and Roy Davis Jr, 'Raw Materials' updates the form with modern production techniques whilst preserving its authenticity.

· The title track eases us in, with dreamy vocals, dusty pads and deep 808 beats. The flip, however, takes no prisoners with two cuts of raw drum machine clatter and strained vocal cuts on ''Ave That' and primal analogue tones on 'Jerk U Later': deadly dancefloor destroyers designed to drill straight to your core.

· Cut to 140g vinyl by Matt Colton at Alchemy Mastering with Houndstooth printed inners.

Trani has been representing the Detroit sound in Italy for some years now, with releases on Minimal Soul Recordings, as well as his own Pushmaster Discs (a label that has also hosted the likes of Ilario Alicante, Myles Sergé and Percyl). His latest outing will be his first full-length, an album inspired space travel, that continues to push Detroit sounds, as well as venturing into some jungle rhythms.

Coming from the traffic-saturated streets and lo-fi screamo scene of Mexico City, rising producer Max Jones makes his debut on Jennifer Cardini's Correspondant label with the Cornetto EP. A onetime member of a guitar-driven punk posse, Jones' more recent work as an electronic producer favors heavily syncopated drums, eerie atmospheres, and wry humor. His discography to date includes a recent joint EP with Eddie Mercury as Los Mekanikos for Sanfuentes, the imprint headed by Chilean producer and Cómeme label cofounder Vicente Sanfuentes, and he also helped initiate Mexican labels Electrique Music and Disque Discos, together with Mercury and Alec Sander appearing on Cornetto as Mijo).

Off the back of a whirlwind 2015 including the launch of their new label 'Hommage', Monkey Safari gear up to take the dance scene by storm with the release of their new EP 'On'. The self-entitled release showcases the German act's mixture of hip-hop and new wave influences embedded in 9-10 minute climactic and euphoric footprints that have so often epitomized the acts sound throughout their short career. Remixes by legendary techno producer 'Paco Osuna' and 'Chloé' have done no harm in aiding the producers growing stature on the global stage whilst helping their break into new scenes and demographics not yet familiar with their uplifting and melodic sound.

The EP containing two original tracks 'On' and 'Matters' utters influences taken from the act at a young and formative age. Sven and Lars unique connection was established as teens in their hometown of 'Halle' where the duo's paradox of tastes complimented one another's and has come to define the nature of their productions. Agreeing to start a youth fueled club night that exhibited the duo's love for indie/alternative and electronica in two separate rooms, the venture became the catalyst for the pair's amalgamation in song-writing and thus, Monkey Safari was born. A track that mirrors these tastes exceptionally is the single 'On', a perfect blend of steady paced house with alternate influenced vocals creating a brooding and haunting piece of music. The duos cleverly crafted layering of the track gives the vocals enough room to breathe whilst keeping the dance-fueled tempo with airy and spacious percussion. The second track 'Matters' focuses more on techno and trance-like elements with delayed and static analogue sounds coating the duo's stereotypical atmospheric and surging psalm. The track is much more in-tune with the acts dance influences with no inclusion of any vocals, dedicating all attention to the core ingredients of percussion, bass and keys.

The duo's rapid growth in recognition is best shown through Paco Osuna's monstrous remix of 'On' with a typical elongated build, euphoric drop and crunching percussion that will be certain to be a stand out track on dance floors around the globe. Underground French artist Chloé's remix of 'Matters' is reminiscent of the duo's new wave motives with a perfect collage of echoed guitar samples and a grooved bass lick epitomizing the French house sound. Both remixes are equally as talented and enjoyable as the originals and will no doubt help flourish the acts credibility and respect going in to 2016.

Moan is proud to present its new vinyl series called "Moanized". A selection of 4 bombs ready for the dancefloor! The second Moanized is a huge release. On the A-side we have Nikola Gala remixed by superstars OXIA and RAMON TAPIA. On The other side we have Leon with his Unknown Sexy track, and a fantastic remix by the Tripmastaz.

Seth Troxler's Play It Say It label looks to Sean Miller for its next essential bit of dance floor dynamite. This 11th firing release on the label features two killer cuts from the Canadian producer.
Miller has been turning out taste making tracks on a consistent basis for a decade now. Releasing on Mobilee, Area Remote and Ovum he is no stranger to the best labels out there and this latest missive is another offering that will keep DJs and dancers happy all summer long and beyond.The momentous A Side 'Tiger Spirit It' is ten tantalising minutes of deep and seductive house music. Clever drum fills; poised synth stabs and vocal coos all add oil to the groove as playful kicks punch out an infectious pattern below. This is proving to be one of key tracks in Seth's tracks this summer: 'It's driving the crowds wild'.
'Together' is less physical but certainly more emotional offering. Playing out perfectly effortlessly, it has swirling pads and trilling chords adding some sensuous summer sunshine to the vibe fuelled house drums below. Troxler has once again unearthed a brilliant release from a talented producer right at the top of his game.

The Belgian Stereo Express joins forces with AKA AKA & Thalstroem as well as vocalist Timmy Shimmy to increase the anticipation of the long-player with the first single 'When I'm With You". Together they create a wonderful house gem that is initially driven by strings and claps, before the crystal clear guitar will be flanked by a grooving bass line. The lyrics are a declaration of love towards our soul mate, to life in general and radiate this positive attitude that defines Burlesque Musique - including a delicate French touch and a chime final. With its dominant kick drum, the club edit starts a bit harder and dispense the hedonistic vocals, even though the warmth and grace of the strings as well as the flattering melody constitutes the attention of 'When I'm With You". The Bremen-based producer Oliver Schories equips his remix not only with a lowered bass line, but relies on the trinity of hi-hats, long-drawn chords and dreamy soundscapes. The down-pitched vocals top his purist approach tremendously off. The second remix comes from Sakso. The saxophonist is both the studio mate of Stereo Express as well as his partner in crime during their live gigs. He puts focus on the vocals and impresses with a swarming sax solo that longs for summer and evokes daydreams. A phenomenal appetizer for the upcoming debut album by Stereo Express!

TS09 is the 2nd EP of the TONESERIES project and in line with its 1st release TS10.
However, its two tracks DIPE and FEATHERHAND present a more dance-floor driven
vibe and deeper groove.

With regard to the artwork, as shown on the cover, each track has its own colour.
There is neither a A nor a B-side. The same applies to the record vinyl itself. Each
track stands on it own. As a result, DIPE and FEATHERHAND distinguish themselves
from each other through their vibes and colours, although they remain in the same
spirit.
In summary, TONESERIES brings together the idea of interdependence between
music and design: what colour follows on from music and, in return, which musicality
comes out of colours.
TONE SERIES was born from the collaboration between Villa's former bouncer (one
of the most underground clubs of Berlin) - Wolfram, French music producer, live
performer and DJ - David K, and LumièresLaNuit's co-founder and An der Grenze's
founder - Edouard.

Roundabout Sounds rounds out 2014 with it's 12th release entitled "Fly Pattern EP". This various artists (vinyl only) release features 4 up and coming artists from around the globe. UC Beatz (Belgium) and Satore (Spain) are EU residents while Kensuke Fukushima and Hokuto Sato are both from Japan. You've got "Walk Free" and "Flying Soul" as floor bangers while "R.A.M" and "Finding the Way" pimp the deep vibes that the label is known for over the last couple years.

From winning a DJ competition in Bristol to now readying her highly anticipated Defected In The House mix compilation, the past 10 years have been both a hard-earned and well-deserved rise to the top for Sam Divine. The Bath-born DJ has gone from practicing in a shed at the bottom of her mum's garden to main stage festival headliner, while also becoming a label owner and the presenter of Defected's In The House radio show, the #1 house music podcast on iTunes.

Sam Divine In The House is a pure representation of Sam's refreshingly versatile approach to DJing in 2016, but also touches upon her many musical influences and showcases a selection of her own forthcoming productions, along with releases on the D-Vine Sounds imprint. This new material, including a number of exclusive collaborations with Curtis Gabriel, comes just over a year after the pair's infectious rework of Sweet Female Attitude's classic 'Flowers', which has now reached over 1 million plays online and became one of the summer anthems of 2015.

These new releases demonstrate a real progression in Sam as a producer over the past 12 months, as she finds her own unique sound and an ability to create uplifting house records fit for any dancefloor. Alongside tracks such as Max Chapman's tech-house smasher 'Paravana', Mat.Joe's tribal-sounding remix of Milk & Sugar - 'My Lovin', the classic dub of Mood II Swing's 'Closer' and Dennis Ferrer's anthemic new single 'Right Thing' - this compilation has a truly eclectic tracklist, making it an essential collection for any house music lover.

Drawing on all of her experience gained from working in record shops and holding down residencies at Ushuaia and Amnesia, Sam has developed into an expert at creating a musical journey and keeping the listener moving from start to finish, whether it be with her live sets or studio mixes. This is without doubt Sam's most complete body of work to-date and a seminal release, placing her amongst some of house music's all-time greats.

Sam Divine: It was a pleasure putting the Sam Divine In The House compilation together! It gave me a chance to go back through my collection and brought home some records that I had forgotten about! It also gave me a chance to showcase some tracks that I wouldn't normally get to play in a club! Disc 1 has a more stripped back balearic chunky vibe to it while disc 2 picks up the pace taking you from evening into night covering everything from Deep, jacking & tech house! A true journey of what's in my locker right now!'
