House Vinyl New Releases - News

A great jacking package from the Material Camp. Redondo and Ferreck dawn with some peaktime dancefloor weapons for the festival season. Straight up shuffled drums and cut up vocals which make this 12'' to a must have for the DJ bag. Be quick

Disco - Disco ... that´s the first thing that crops to mind by listening to the new Album GOOD MORNING made by Roter & Lewis for the first time. Perfectly selected Vocals and every track with a high talented musical arrangement make it to a life-time experience. In line with their motto : "It`s not what you say, but how you say it", Roter & Lewis always say it groovy, explosive, innovative and with bass. For years they have been a perfect couple (DJ/Producer), creating music from Deep to Techhouse. They were showing their great talent by releasing their songs for example by: Kittball, Strictly Rhythm, Bitten Rec., Thirtyonetwenty, Nervous Rec., Stylerockets, Kiddaz FM, Toolroom Rec., Witty Tunes, King Street Sounds, PWU, and many more... Last year their track 'Folklori' was voted to the Top 10 ADE Techhouse Tracks.The 'Minimal Techno Compilation 2013', known nationwide, was mixed and created by Roter & Lewis this year. But back to the album: each track equally hits. Giving the feeling of summer, sunshine and good times increases the requirement of running to the next open air for partying. A consistently maximum housy sound, but never boring. For the first three tracks Roter & Lewis currently obtains valuable musical support by div-A, Supertash, Abi and Slow Tap. A really good way as we think - all the three things are a blast. The remaining eleven songs of the album almost unnoticed takes you on a journey. Your Phantasy turns you back to the times of Studio54 with overcrowded dance floors, smiling faces and happy people. Sony (Columbia) saved themselves the boys for following Remixes, which underline show talented they are. Their sound took place at many festivals worldwide. Presenting their music life for example in Kazantip (Ukraine), Bogota (Colombia), Mexico City (Mexico), Magnum (Luxembourg), Tresor (Berlin), Lehmann (Stuttgart) and many more.. We are fuckin´proud that the boys release their album on Stylerockets and we are quite sure that GOOD MORNING PEOPLE will be a Hit. April 2014 is the release date. A definitely must have for every sound collection.

Espai Music are proud to present 'Energy 52', the first and long-awaited Espai release from the inimitable Spada.

Having received the demo, we were in no doubt that this would warrant an inaugural and exclusive vinyl release. Our finest of the year, the track embodies all that we love about electronic music with a fusion of rhythm, energy and emotion. A true masterclass.

It's fitting, then, that we recruit two of techno's best loved stalwarts to offer pre-eminent interpretations. Taho, known for his releases on labels F Comm, Delsin and Ovum (to name a mere few) delivers a utopian techno piece with Detroit flavour.

Jim enhances his bountiful reputation further with a groovy dancefloor filler and another sprinkle of Detroit.

After the monster hit '1998' by Taras van de Voorde, EC is proud to present the long-awaited follow-up 'The Game'. 1998 was played to death by Pete Tong and everyone from Luciano over Agoria to Sasha. Tong even had it at #1 in his 'best of 2010' list! We also add a smashing remix by Santos, known for his dancefloor sure-shots on Moon Harbout, Rockets & Ponies, Crosstown Rebels & Figure!

REPRESSED !!
Blank Code presents BCR002 - Beta EP from The Plant Worker (also known as A. Trebor), released on 12" vinyl with custom made silk screened jackets and available with an additional track found exclusively on the digital release. Beta 01 represents merciless techno, with a pounding kick and unexpected drops that leave the listener gasping for breath. The Luis Flores remix introduces a subtle swing, making it more danceable than the original while still retaining the ominous tones imbued in the track by The Plant Worker. Beta 02 stumbles in with anxious acid synths and urgent hi-hat patterns, slowly building to a massive climax. Mysterious chimes wandering around the sonic space give a haunting feel to Beta 03, the eery conclusion of the vinyl version of the release. The EP's digital exclusive, Beta 04, returns the listener to the original themes of Beta 01 - open, reverberating bass accented by the sounds of echoing metallic decay.

They first worked together on Disarm (2013, Lisson Gallery), joining producer John Coxon to make an LP using instruments made from recycled firearms by Mexican artist Pedro Reyes. They then collaborated on two commissioned compositions: one, 'Sequence 1 - Notes Upon Woven Strings' (2014, The Vinyl Factory), subsequently performed live at MONA Festival inTasmania, and another for Haroon Mirza's '/0/0/0/0/' remix project. Their first collaborative LP, 'Studies I-XVII for Samplers and Percussion', was released in November 2015..

Borrowed Identity - the man who makes music non stop - when not travelling the world! Borrowed Identity - the man who lives in the geman black forest - maybe that's why his music sounds so black! Borrowed Identity - the man who already released two superb EPs on Quintessentials and won't stop! Borrowed Identity - the man who enjoys nature as much as playing techno, house or disco! Borrowed Identity - the man who we love!

Likewise our debut edition, the second vinyl contains one original and the attached remix. But wether you re in love with the summer vibes or not, in connection with music there has always been a special kind of tune you would want to hear, when the sun shines bright and you stay outs- ide the whole night. When Kalyma played us the SL002, we felt like - Sacrosanct might be the tune who does the job for this purpose. Teaming up with his roommate, the very talented singer KAIND, Kalyma produced a catchy vocal tune with a lot of hands up potential.
Also for this edition we re very happy to welcome our Remixers Leman & Dieckmann, two uprising artists from Copenhagen, Denmark.

The Original tune starts with a solid dry groove. Kalyma adds several little details to the beat me- anwhile atmospheric synths are fading in and claps are creating a strong backbeat. After a couple more bars the main synthline is slowly introduced and tension rises up until KAIND s vocals kick in. At that very moment the magic of Sacrosanct is in full effect. Subsequently the vocals lead to ano- ther drop, which helps to label Sacrosanct as an overall - Hands Up Tune .
Leman & Dieckmann approached the remix with a rough straight forward beat. The percussive tune gains a lot of energy as if they thought of: - Give energy to the people and they bring it back . Well, we ve seen it happen on the dance floor. With the use of the main synthline and the vocals it definitely adheres to the Original, but powerful drops ensure that this one is going to be straight up peak time material.

Polish label Exotic Refreshment has been doing its independent thing since 2007, releasing high quality house and techno music that gets spun by the likes of Sasha and Tensnake. Now they look to young Italian-Venezuelan talent Ricardo Baez for two new tracks that come with expert remixes by Edgar Peng and David Jach.

Inspired by Chicago house and Detroit techno, Baez debuted in 2012 and has gone on to impress with releases on Toy Tonics, as well as holding down his high profile residency at Tropical Animals.

Butoh opens the EP in steely, nervy fashion with skittish synths scurrying over rooted house drums. Theres a shiny progressive like vibe to the synths that really suck you in and give off the air of flying through the cosmos whilst a heavenly vocal cry only adds fuel to the fire. Remixer David Jach is a someone who often has tracks in the Beatport Top 20, as well as having done an electronic concert with members of a philharmonic orchestra. His version of Butoh is a stripped back and bumpy deep house cut with subtle vocals used as a repetitive hook. Chord stabs add warmth but this one is all about lo-key, high impact grooviness.

The other original is I Need You, a soft edged and supple roller with rubbery synths and rounded drums. The sound of footsteps adds intrigue to the groove and when the bassline drops again amongst the sound of rainy melodies, you really get swept up.

Berlin based Edgar Peng then turns out a deep and atmospheric remix that has whispered vocals, smeared, soulful chords and oodles of late night charm.

Every mood and dance floor is catered for with this excellent new EP from one of Polands best labels.

Dubfire: "bombs!!"

REPRESSED !!

With an uncompromising focus on House and Techno, Eye Shadow is a label set up to showcase artists with a link to the North East of England. Run by The Cleer Consortium, the label aims to bring a spotlight over Newcastle Upon Tyne and the surrounding postcodes of Middlesbrough to Sunderland and beyond.

The Cleer Consortium met through the Cleer club nights, which inspired the collective to start a label and collaborate in the studio. Consisting of Suade, Clarke Sawkill, William Welt, and Binni, the four each bring something different to the table.

Suade is a respected mastering engineer and in 2011 collaborated with Magda on their track titled 'Fixation.' Clarke Sawkill is a man of many pseudonyms and his music has been included on a Global Underground compilation amongst other achievements, but in 2014 he decided to start working under his real name for a series of vinyl only releases. William Welt runs two other imprints and boasts releases on labels including Traum Schallplatten. Binni is the founder of the Cleer club night which bought the four together and gave people like Steffi (Ostgut Ton) and Click Box (Minus) their North East debut.

The first release focused in on The Cleer Consortium themselves with four tracks made collectively by the group. This second EP also features four tracks, each one a collaboration with The Cleer Consortium and another artist with routes in the North East's underground music scene. Not all members of The Cleer Consortium where involved in each track. But all had an input into the A&R of selecting the final four tracks for the EP, as there where others that didn't make the cut.

First up is a collaboration with Carl Handley aka Ruthit who is originally from Darlington, but currently resides in Manchester. Carl is close friends with William Welt aka Will Reed and their track titled 'Liquid Debris' is deep techno with a stripped back sound and strong dub influences. Carl took the hot seat and led the track's production, but William's influence can definitely be felt in its dark undertones and unusual groove.

The second track is a collaboration with Jason Wright who is originally from Northumberland. Affectionately described as a Techno Hippie, Jason regularly throws illegal forest raves and warehouse parties with a criminal record to prove it. With a love for Ricardo Villalobos and all things analogue, his track titled 'Sliding Door' was brought to life with Suade's bass line and William Welt's quirky production techniques. Deep and experimental sliding door is a mechanical electronica full of sliding rhythms.

Track three introduces the man of many pseudonyms Clarke Sawkill, along with Steve Legget on their track 'Life Line.' Steve has been involved in the Newcastle club scene since the early 90's and like Clarke is a man of many names, with perhaps his most successful being his ambient focused Four Hands alias. Their track was originally based on field recordings and an Isaac Hayes vocal sample, but with the help of Suade it got twisted into a dark and dancefloor focused slice of Minimal Techno.

The fourth and final track introduces Matthew Sogorski better known to his friends as Soggy. Based in Newcastle, Matthew is a close friend to a number of The Cleer Consortium, and makes his first ever release on this EP, with a track titled 'Panic Attack.' Matthew's original loop was transformed by William Welt, who recording himself whispering into a microphone. Williams's vocal added some creepy vibes to the already dark and tense track. One of the first tracks started for the EP it was the last to get finish, as the group felt it lacked that little extra something. Having already started a second track in preparation of walking away from this one, it was Suade who once again came to the rescue. Blowing the dust off his TB303 for some analogue knob tweaking, Suade worked in some serious Acid, turning the track into a distinctively individual bit of sinister Techno.

Luv*Jam presents ERROR404 and ODDNIPP.
2 secret filth bombs from somewhere out of nowhere.
Check out the BJJ nippi side project too - The Legend Of Gelert also.

Following his stunning Apollo debut album 'Water' in 2013, Anton Zap AKA Anton Barbashev, the Russian electronic pioneer returns to the label for another foray into his highly distinctive, deep and ever evolving productions.
Without doubt one of the leaders of the burgeoning generation of Muscovite electronic producers, 'Subculture' sees Zap building on 'Water's seismic achievements, expanding on his trademark luscious house sound into verdant new areas.
Once again, as we've come to expect from an Anton Zap record, the production is impeccable, with sounds ranging from the blissed-out hip-hop stomp of 'Free Fall' and crunching beats of 'One Week', to the slender, mysterious jazzy breakbeat workout 'Incident' and dubby space-tech of closer 'Pauspapier'. A vital release from one of electronic music's most original and singular voices.

Francisco Allendes, a classic violinist with a synth rock background, one of the most interesting electronic music artists from Chile, already released on Ghostly, Cadenza and several other labels. Italian born DJ, producer and Ibiza resident Paola Poletto, is not only the 'first female DJ to ever perform at Pacha' - she is also a graduated sound engineer. Together Francisco and Paola are not only the nicest couple of dance music, but as a producer team they are also about to leave a deep mark on the musical landscape. Their Desolat debut is a 4 track EP with their unique view on house music, full of optimism, fun and sundrenched grooves. Enjoy!

Luv Shack Records is kicking off the year 2015 with release # 15 - another blissful split EP, this time featuring Hard Ton and Daso, as well as Nick Anthony Simoncino on remix duties. Italian house music lovers Mauro and Massimo aka Hard Ton started off with two releases on Dissident in 2009, and have since then become the go-to production team for authentic acid driven vocal house with a classic touch. Their first track on the EP ,"You Made The World Go Round", is a destinctly dubby slice of vocal house, complete with sultry stabs, piano and a catchy synth bassline. "Keep It Closer", the second Hard Ton production, is a densely intstrumented house track with an array of chord stabs, hovering strings and a powerful bassline - tied together by Massimos intimate vocals.Nick Anthony Simoncino tackles "Keep It Closer" to a darker place, tightly embedding the sparse vocals in a carpet of analogue strings, pads and bells - all driven by a percussion heavy drum machine beat. German producer Daso, who has originally emerged from the german techno scene, delivers two stunningly atmospheric pieces of modern disco on the flip. First there's "I Seek", a dense and ever evolving synth driven disco track, with strong references to 80's pop and italo, whilst easily maintaining an original and modern feel. "Your Room" takes a slightly moodier approach, but still sounds very melodic and uplifting throughout its 8 minutes of detailed synthesizer arrangements.

Magnetic techno attractors. Steel crisis alarm signal funk. Europa-futura rave gyrations.Counterchange founder Ed Davenport returns with his Inland alias after a short hiatus to re-ignite Function's Infrastructure imprint which he co-manages.
An Inland EP also dropped on Boddika's Nonplus+ label last autumn picking up strong support as Ed honed in the project's sound strategy. COUNTER006 continues the conceptual yet dancefloor-friendly approach with an emphasis on bold, metallic textures, classic sci-fi techno theories and ethereal melodic sequences. Footstone is a straight up modern-rave track aimed at the peak hours, its syncopated, mutated synth hook riding atop a tough jack-track. Sinker sets off an emergency self-destruct alarm while dropping a layer of tough Detroit-styled funk on top.
This leaves Leylines to carve a smoother, melodic path through the current European techno landscape; bleepy, bass heavy and forward thinking. Following this EP will be a remix package featuring mixes from Matrixxman, Par Grindvik, BNJMN and Madrid based Pole Group affiliate Ribe. A full artist EP from BNJMN is also ready to drop, as Counterchange primes itself for a busy first half of 2016. Release artwork photographed by Guy Archard. Magnet Study #4, 2015

With his band, The xx, currently in the middle of a run of 25 intimate shows (playing to just 40 people per show) at New York's world-famous Park Avenue Armory venue, Jamie xx today announces details of a brand new AA-sided single. The single - which will be available on 12' vinyl and download - features two songs, 'G.I.R.L.' and 'Sleep Sound', and will be released on 5th May 2014 on Young Turks.
It will be Jamie xx's first solo release since 2011, a year which saw him release his debut single, 'Far Nearer', as well as We're New Here, his collaborative reinterpretation of Gil Scott-Heron's I'm New Here album. Jamie is also renowned for his remixes of the likes of Four Tet ('Lion'), Radiohead ('Bloom'), Adele ('Rolling In The Deep') and The xx (most recently 2013's 'Reconsider' and 'Sunset' edits)

Toronto's My Favorite Robot Records team up once again with the excellent Jonny Cruz for a new EP featuring remixes from Avatism & Jeremy P Caulfield and Fur Coat...

My Favorite Robot Records can do little wrong at the moment: whether it be their foray into album releases with Jori Hulkkonen (to be followed by Fairmont), their string of stellar singles this summer or their much hyped label showcase parties all eyes are certainly on this consistently excellent Canadian based label. Now the MFRR team look to join forces once again with Berlin based Puerto Rican producer Jonny Cruz, the man who provided the superb 'Street Disco EP' for the label last year.

Cruz has a history with My Favorite Robot Records that includes not only last year's stunning EP but also a highly acclaimed collaborative release with Emerson Todd. He has also released music on labels such as Cocoon, Geno and Poker Flat records building an enviable reputation for quality electronic music.

The 'Devil's Hex EP' kicks off with the original version of the title track, a deep and brooding slice of underground electronica with a dark tech edged house feel to it. Heavily effected vocal parts play up against menacing synth lines and haunting FX to create a supremely atmospheric record, quality stuff. The original is backed with a remix from Avatism & Jeremy P Caulfield who take time out from the Dumb Unit family stable to craft an ethereal and emotive remix of 'Devil's Hex' that is a perfect accompaniment to the original.

The second of the original tracks see Cruz team up with Cali Lanuaze for a synth driven retro vocal workout that really hits the mark. Mid tempo bass and drum tracks provide the basis for intricately weaved dark melodies and vocals that have you locked in from the off. The original is followed with a superb remix from Crosstown Rebels artist Fur Coat who picks up the pace and moves things towards the dancefloor with a hypnotic mix with some intense top lines.

It's another winner from My Favorite Robot Records!

Stop what you're doing right now, you've just found that record that stays with you all summer. The record to soundtrack the BBQ, to gently raise the energy on a hazy evening, to baffle the midnight marauders into dancefloor destruction, to give the early morning ravers that extra kick. That 'one more song'.

WotNot have spent the last two years on a mission to prove that intelligent music can be footloose and fun. This release marks a milestone in this mission, with possibly the most complex bass line to ever stick in your head, from a man whose every DJ set serves as an education as much as a liberation. A man with a hunger for new records that has seen him included as a featured Bandcamp fan alongside the likes of Gilles Peterson.

K15 is known to many musical worlds; a go-to on the UK soul/jazz circuit, with production on Belle's Lapwing EP, and DJ sets supporting the likes of Bilal and Marsha Ambrosius; a figure on the beat scene with his hypnotic instrumental tapes; and spinner of infectious dancefloor oddities old and new across London. This EP presents yet another facet, the soulful, jazz-inflected house that has had man-of-the moment Kyle Hall all ashiver.

Bordeaux has all the sophistication the name implies, a delicious bubbling bass line with subtle notes of garage and building layers of improvisation providing an earthy jazz undertone. Broken beat legend Kaidi Tatham builds on the chord progression in his soul-laden rework, with light-footed percussion adding brightness to his famously refined palette. House rising stars Glenn Astro & IMYRMIND add body to the original in their rejig, fierce swinging house with sermon-like vocal cuts raising the potency to a powerful climax.
B side Hall Of Memories brings its own bubble; simmering, expectant synth textures rising and falling over an evolving bass hook. A perfect summer set opener or closer.

This EP represents the all-encompassing but distinctive flavours that K15 has made his reputation as a DJ on. And how exciting to see him take the first step in another of many directions, with great leaps certain to come.

#3 Live Act of 2013 at Resident Advisor, one of the most in demand remixers around, a total of 156 gigs in 2013, releases for Rush Hour, Ovum, Macro; booked out months in advance from Berghain to Ibiza to the main electronic festivals ... KiNK: Arguably the world of dance music has not witnessed anyone else rising so clearly from bottom to top just by the centrifugal force of sheer talent. Being based in Sofia, Bulgaria, without a support network, a campaign or any media hype, his music alone - live and in the studio - created a momentum whose end we have yet to see. Lenin said: 'Communism is Soviet power + electrification of the whole country.' Hardly did Lenin suspect what an inspired take on these words could do: post-socialist techno. A child of 80's late socialism, KiNK grew up on the home computers Bulgaria's IT scientists had created by backwards-engineering Western technology. Fueled by nuclear energy on the edge of desaster, a whole generation of kids was trained to hack. Dance music gradually dripping in through early dial-up internet connections, the acoustic fingerprints of distant parties put Eastern producers from KiNK to Nina Kraviz to Vakula under a spell. Yet KiNK spent years of backwards-engineering the sounds of Detroit, Chicago and early Warp.

The latest buzz name on influential lips is that of 22-year-old Londoner Maya Jane Coles. Fresh from the success of her 'What they Say' EP on Real Tone, she drops another bomb here - this time on fledging London based imprint Hypercolour. The EP immediately signals its intentions via title track, 'Humming bird'. A warm, housey effort that kicks off on a light piano tip before the bass quickly creeps back in, it's a simple - yet without doubt effective - Dj tool that's sure to earn repeated airtime from deep house purveyors.

R&S welcomes Shanghai Den to the family for his killer debut single 'The Sun / Vale W. Group'.

It's safe to say that Shanghai Den's music is a little out of the ordinary- in his own words he describes it as "the fear inside of all of us mixed with a constant stream of chemical self medication." From the opening of 'The Sun', the harsh beats, strobing filter sweeps and tripped out pads with lysergic overtones, immediately evoke a state that might well be described as 'slightly euphoric', while on the flip side, the apocalyptic lament of Vale W Group Bench, with its buzzing reece bass and mournful synths starts to slow down the respiratory and central nervous system, blocking pain messages to the brain.

Perhaps this narcotic obsession has something to do with his exposure to Falty DL's Drew Lustman, who gave SD his first break on their skronking collab 'King Brute'.. One things for sure, this release marks the debut of a singular and strange new voice in dance music, and we're confident that you can expect a fresh dose of SD's high grade material very soon.

On this first release of his newly created imprint, Southsoniks presents a very special track "Just Another Chord Song", extracted from his Live-Act and reworked with care in the studio. This atmosferic and strong techno track cut for the dancefloor is meant to absorb the crowd energy and grow on it as to transform the inherent warmth of its chords into food for the body and soul.
Hosting on the same project three excellent producers, who each have delivered a very special and unique interpretation of the original track, this EP offers something for everyone.
Oniris delivered a fantastic Vangelis-techno remix which is bound to touch any audience and was favored by Laurent Garnier who playlisted it on his PBB radio for months! The more you'll listen to it, the more it will grow on you!
Fabrice Lig, infamous producer from the F-Com era, with countless classic hits took a little detour from his usual sound to bring an amazing ravey remix with a huge dancefloor potential. The additionnal voice he added brings more tension and energy to this brilliant interpretation.
Last but not least, rising french producer MadBen took a straight dancefloor approach with great drumwork to present a very efficient remix, bound to bring people to shake it up! It's a no-brainer on any set you want to step up the intensity one notch.
An overall very complete and high quality project, impregnated with Southsoniks philosophy of music for body and soul.
Early support from Laurent Garnier, Ian Donovan, Nuno Dos Santos, Dj3000, K'Alexi Shelby and more.

Aux-Rec is Airdrop's offshoot label designed with a specific mission in mind: to look back and pay tribute.

Aux-Rec continues its survey of musical history, looking for those inspiring pieces of music (famous or forgotten) that carry a very distinctive groove and identity, and that offer the potential to be revisited in an ingenious contemporary way.

At Airdrop, we love music of all ages and of many genres! We feel Aux-Rec is a way for our artists and for us to pay our due respects to the origins and the evolution of contemporary dance music.

Neil Tolliday aka Nail, released the Themis records on his own Velocet imprint between '96 and '98. These three extremely rare 12"s constitute a great and important part of Tolliday's work.

For our eighth and ninth installments, we are glad to present the re-release in two episodes, of the long lost Themis works - re-shuffled, re-packaged and re-mastered by Matt Colton.

The glittering stars were cast scattered across the chaos of the blackened night sky. They shone like diamonds with their light leaving a dusty brush amidst the shadow of distant planets. The depths of outer space were gloomy and harsh, the cogs of jupiter chuntered with a metallic grind. Diamonds on Jupiter eh Who would have though it Planet Sundae is a new vinyl only record label emerging from London. On their debut release they have lured in the music of Al Kassian who has delivered two tracks of dancefloor orientated house music with a melodic edge. The release also fetures a remix from Massimiliano Pagliara.

Sold out on vinyl for six years, we are happy to present a limited re-issue of Chicago Underground Duo's Boca Negra album for Record Store Day 2016. The LP is limited to 500 copies worldwide, pressed on virgin vinyl and packaged in an uncoated stock jacket with paste-on photo art card and free download coupon.

Chicago Underground Duo has been part of a new generation of music improvisers that emerged in Chicago in the 1990's. Made up of cornetist Rob Mazurek (Exploding Star Orchestra, Isotope 217) and drummer Chad Taylor (Marc Ribot, Iron and Wine), Boca Negra is the duo's fifth release originally released in 2010. Sold out on vinyl since that time this limited edition vinyl re-issue is available for Record Store Day 2016. As with the previous four Duo records it contains both composed and improvised music. The recording contains powerful grooves along with ambient sound structures, folk song simplicity and polyrhythmic bursts of energy with lyrical melodic vignettes. It also combines high energy music with slow moving ballads. Boca Negra was recorded in Sao Paulo, Brazil at Rocha Studios making it the first record not created in Chicago. It is also the first record that contains a 'cover', that being Ornette Coleman's 'Broken Shadows'.

The legend that is Gene Farris decided to drop his 2 tracker EP on Material pool.
Total madness for this plus the Gonneli remix. PROUD.

Lena Platonos is a pioneer of the Greek electronic music scene of the 1980s. She produced and released her second solo album, 'Gallop', in 1985 that we reissued in 2015. The album is made exclusively using analog synthesizers and heavily features the iconic Roland TR-808 drum machine. Lena narrates each song, reciting her own surreal Greek poetry with unique skill. Lena says of 'Gallop', 'It's a study in the mythology of urban population of the contemporary metropolis and also a gaze into the future life of it.'

We've asked Red Axes to chose their four favorite songs from 'Gallop' and create remixes for each one. Red Axes is Tel-Aviv based producers and DJs Dori Sadovnik and Niv Arzi, releasing their own productions and remixes since 2009 on I'm a Cliché, Correspondant and Hivern Discs. The duo was raised on a steady diet of post-punk, new-wave and Italo-disco at fogged out warehouse and basement parties. They've transform 'Witches' and 'And We Hear 'I Love You'' into solid dancefloor tools. 'No. 9' and 'Liqueur Ruby' transport the listener to a hypnotic state tripped out in a psychedelic mist, with the latter featuring middle eastern rhythms by fellow Tel Aviv musicians The Dirty Lizards.

All songs have been mastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. The jacket riffs off the original 'Gallop' cover, isolating the photograph of Lena layered on a grid backdrop designed by Eloise Leigh. Each copy includes a two-sided postcard with a manipulated frame from one of Lena's music videos. 'In an era where we are obsessed with nostalgia, Red Axes achieved something against that grain while still paying homage to the underrated greats that came before them.' - Anthem Magazine

Ever since 2008, Astronaut Music has been showcasing a wide spectrum of essential dance sounds and nowthey offer up another essential EP.

This time it features an original by the Hungarian label boss himself, aka Norbert Obrotka, who has been DJing since the 90s and has had many club hits since, but the track is remixed by Chris Ronson and Petar Dundov.

Petar Dundov goes first, he has been turning out killer techno for 15 years now, and does so on Music Man Records most often. His take on 'Stage Whisper' is full of fat, rasping bass and moody atmospheres. His well crafted melodies dangle in midway and add a real air of suspense and mystery to the groove.

The second version is from a fellow Hungarian, Ronson who quickly shot up through the ranks. He has worked under different names before now but releases on labels like Creation Records, Fever Sound, Renaissance and more. His remix is a perfectly deep, seductive and supple one that is full of late night intrigue. His percussion is loose yet sharp, his drums fluid yet engaging, and overall the track is perfectly emotional and expertly serene.

This is a brilliant and timeless release from an always on point label.

Supported by: Sasha, Joris Voorn, Jody Wisternhoff, Steve Lawler, Nick Warren, Dj T, Edu Imbernon, Adriatique, LTJ Bukem, Gel Abril, Sossa, HRRSN, Patrick Zigon, Horse Meat Disco, Technasia, Riva Starr, Horatio, Jozif, Marc Poppcke, Chymera.....

Uno_label showcases the talent of Stefano Kosa , a young and bright producer with a promising career ahead of him. Stefano lands on UNO. with this tight and strong original track: "Siren". The title, immediately suggests the incredible power of this techno track.
While Alex Costa takes on the remix challenge, tightening the track with his thumping Kick Drum, he created a ripping groove that perfectly complements Stefano's original.

Paride Saraceni : Transit Minded
included Matt Sassari remix

Paride Saraceni brings a twisted single titled Transit Minded', made up of evolving details, dark ambiences and bulbous synth notes. Matt Sassari gives his stripped down reinterpretation of the original track, reworking the main synth line on a fractured beat.

Enjoy this hot release, and carry these two dancefloor weapons with you to your

Sometimes the best things in life come slowly, building up over a prolonged amount of time to reach a perfected state of euphoria. That's the ethos at play as Josh Wink's ever-lasting Ovum imprint release the Breathe EP from Ben Hoo. The London based producer and multi instrumentalist draws on his long list of influences and tastes, weaving in classical structure, down-tempo beats and more into his eclectically flavoured tracks. Following on from his works on the likes of Kindisch, Highgrade and Mute Records, Breathe is another worthy addition to the Ovum roster, following on from recent bombs on the label from the likes of Vince Watson, MANIK and head honcho Josh himself. The title cut takes its time, sensually offering swathes of lush of sub bass, chiming, echoing melodies and deep aesthetics, to create a slow-burning, heart warming track that entices and uplifts throughout its sexy, seductive groove. 'Cloaked Mix' - with its minimal, tick tock rhytym - strips back the emotive sub bass completely, leaving a snarling, industrial edged groove, echoing out the beats and percussion into a vast plain of dynamic space. Two tracks for differing moods, each tailored toward the more emotive side of the dance-floor. On the flip, Israeli tech house hero Shlomi Aber delivers his interpretation of Breathe, a balls to the wall, no nonsense techno blast, it's staunch and unrelenting kick drum setting the pace from the off. Industrial swooshes, fader jabs and crackling, exploding 4th beats evoke memories of late nights, spent in the darkest corners of club land. Finally, Hoo's '561595' draws the EP to a close, a life giving, spine tingling track that nods to ambient trip hop, a soothing plain of heartbeat drums, piano chords and melancholic melodies bring the EP to a blissful, yearning close as Hoo demonstrates another side to his ever impressive cannon of work.
