Unknown vinyl-only label from Canada returns from the depths of the sea with Swordfish 002.

After two EPs on Pleasure Club, Johnny Hunter returns to the label with his first full length - Dub Is King LP. Fusing all of the styles he has become renowned for through his releases and DJ sets, this album see’s him incorporate dubby techno, spacey electro and UK garage flavours into one eclectic yet cohesive body of work.Created throughout the trials and tribulations of the last two years, Dub Is King LP is a message of optimism, unity and freedom, and is also a deep homage to Johnny's roots in soundsystem culture.

The second release on Lapse records welcomes UK Tech House mainstay Len Lewis, who’s extensive catalogue of club music stretches across the last few decades, along with newly appraised London based DJ and producer Mariiin. The split EP supports a four track selection of old and new head down club music touching different moods.

Len’s inserts lead on the A side with the carefully sampled Matrix acapella laid across “Morpheus”, a tweaking and dusted 2 step thrill, in keeping with the left leaning spooky tone of the first Lapse release and label sound. “Do U Want It” follows in similar ilk to the self professed Sinister tech house sounds previously ventured on the likes of early Swag and Poodle Records releases of the early 2000’s that became essential points of reflection for the genre’s progression since.

The B side spans a more contemporary 4x4 influenced thread of this style that circles closer to the outer rims of techno and acid. The Italian born producer joins the label with the “Snake Is Changing It’s Skin” and “Impasse” which continue fittingly to carve their signature sound, a style consistent in their early releases on the likes of BPR and EYA Records and across their DJ sets as Pleasure Club resident.

It's time for Clut004!! Clut Communication is back with the fourth release and this time we have one of the main characters of the label, Odracir. We have already “tasted” his music in previous releases but now Odracir marks his solo debut EP “Black Bullet” with four energetic cuts, influenced by house and electro sounds from the 90’s with spacey atmospheres and analog basslines.

As a Dutch label, we're proud supporters of the homegrown sounds of guys like Nachtbraker, Frits Wentink and Fouk. Adding another Dutchie to our list of exquisite producers, we present you 'Pitto' with his debut on Heist Recordings. Pitto is a musically omnipotent creature, venturing into deep house with the underground hit 'Richklap' on Wolfskuil back in 2012 and dreamy electronic pop with his album 'Breaking up the Static' on Sonar Kollektiv and Virgin. He has also moved beyond producing his own music, running 'Studio Stekker'; a Dutch music festival that focused on freeform creative interactions between musicians where the artists performing on the festival locked themselves up a week in advance in Kytopia (Colin Benders' synth paradise) to make new music together. Through this, he's worked with people like Kyteman, Matthew Johnson, Sebastian Mullaert and Colin de la Plante, better known as 'The Mole', who is also present on Pitto's Heist debut with a remix.

The 'Late night studio moves' ep is one of varied styles, where Pitto's inspiration from African music, jazzy and soulful samples becomes evident. He finds his 'funk' in repetition, clever sample combinations and combining electronic and live elements in the most organic way.

'Late night studio moves' finds its basic groove in an African percussive loop. Over the 9:26 minutes, the track slowly adds elements, chopped African chants and piercing synth hits. It's all really dreamy and energetic at the same time, but it is when the bass and main keys kick in, that you really feel the euphoric vibe of the track. The Mole chose to remix this track and he turned it completely upside down, both in vibe and tempo. His version is an atmospheric and mesmerizing downtempo track, where the percussion works in an intoxicating way and bells, birds and chants move in and out of the spotlight.
Pitto's second original track on the ep is the mesmerizing 'Treat me like a fool'. 16th hi-hats, claps on the hats, and a chopped piano loop set the mood here, but it's the vocal that steals the show. A mantra like 'You love me' builds up and breaks down into 'you love me like an angel, but you treat me like a fool'. Each time, the track builds and builds, never quite giving in to a massive drop, but instead, focuses on the stripped back soul that is the heart of the track.

'Jazz kids' evolves around a jazzy bass loop and a set of quirky African percussive elements that you could imagine Henrik Schwarz making if he were in a more leftfield mood. A syncopated synth melody filters in and out throughout the track and a basic kick and hi-hat combo keeps the energy going strong on this on.

We're proud to bring you this deep, dreamy and provocative EP by Pitto and hope you'll enjoy it as much as we do.

Hard-hitting drums that fire down onto the dance floor like cannon balls. Check! Intense key patterns that are as twisted as they are uplifting. Check! Beautiful melodies that seamlessly interlock with each element. Check! Big-sounding, infectious grooves and killer hooks generously sprinkled with the infamous Fitzpatrick magic over the top. CHECK! In short, this EP is everything we have come to expect from Alan over his long history with Drumcode (this is his 10th EP as a solo artist!), but still his sound remains fresh and super-charged for 2015.

The iconic club by the Spree celebrates 20 years with a mammoth 20 track compilation of new and unreleased tracks exclusive to the compilation. From Sasha to Anja Schneider, Henrik Schwarz and
Adana Twins, right through to the ascendent names such as JAMIIE, Kristin Velvet, JOPLYN and Biesmans, the compilation is an exhilarating snapshot of some of the artists who have shaped Watergate’s sound; both via the label and through laying down unforgettable sets at the club over a two-decade period.
The highlight heavy compilation charts a course throughout all the deep, dark, euphoric, tech and even pop-laden corners of house music. Henrik Schwarz navigates a classic course via the vibey ‘You Need Attitude’, while JOPLYN brings soaring melodies and arresting vox with ‘Lima’. Biesmans is in characteristic sleek form with the sparkling nostalgic-soaked business of ‘Basic Bro’, before emerging stars Mia Mendi contribute a driving electro jam ‘Astromech’.
The iconic Anja Schneider is an essential addition. The Berlin icon brings her A-Game with the big piano chords and gospel vocals of ‘Can’t You See Me No More’ before handing the baton to Extrawelt who comes strong with a delicious micro house serenade ‘Rover’. Sasha weaves a trademark masterful beast with ‘Wolf Cider, a dark and twisted weapon that’s packed with plenty of groove and low-end attitude. First premiered during her excellent Boiler Room session in 2019, Kristin Velvet’s ‘Wanted Competition’ is a propulsive gem that reinforces her position as one of the most exciting breakout producers of the last two years.
Adana Twins are always on-point and they don’t disappoint with ‘Nacht’ a deviant, distorted house tool the belongs in every DJ’s back pocket. Matthias Meyer & Ryan Davis enjoy a superlative history on Watergate Records and share another ace ‘Genki’, a shimmering, drama-laden piece that morphs into a tougher psyladen finish. New Watergate Agency signing DJEFF crafts an uplifting string-laden ace with ‘Cloud 7, showing off his impressive musicianship along the way, while Hyenah make an essential contribution with the funky key-driven houser ‘Going in Circles’. Club resident JAMIIE shares the wicked ‘Echoes’, which is pacey and hypnotizing in equal measures and brought to life by colourful arpeggios and a latticework of key
patterns. The project rounds out on a stunning note with ‘Tone Trails’, a lilting slice of electronica by Watergate stalwart Marco Resmann & Lee Jones, which is inflected with organic guitar and dreamy
melodies.

Amberoom return to TAU with three brand new tracks forming the Common Factors EP. German trio Amberoom are the first act to release two EPs with us. We loved their first release so much it was only a matter of time before we invited them back. Their enchanting productions produce moments of exhilaration, emotional presence and contemplation - as well as inspiring you to dance.
The EP begins with the title track ‘Common Factors’, a stirring journey into a spellbinding world. Using a heavy dose of melancholy, this cut really tugs on your heartstrings, encouraging you to connect with your emotional centre and letting the rising energy to whisk you away to new, undiscovered territory. Next up is ‘Convoi’, a gnarly, avant-garde cut that feels grandiose and mystical thanks to a looming vocal that sweeps across the breadth of the track at regular intervals turning the mood ominous. The track hooks you in and refuses to relent, leaving you totally immersed in its deeply moving vibrations… Lastly, ‘Seclusian’ is another showcase of the trio’s dexterity. This one is more uptempo, with a jaunty rhythm and scattered use of emotive pads.
By the time we get to the breakdown Amberoom are at the playful peak, removing all the layers before thrusting them back to work, jabbing away at your cerebral cortex.

100% GALCHER was by all accounts a game-changer when it landed in 2013 as an hour of original music from a relatively unknown producer ushered in by the beloved mix series Blowing Up The Workshop. Galcher Lustwerk's signature sound — a smoky stream-of-consciousness baritone shadow-boxing with beats, informed by funk, rap, rhythm, and blues — felt like an epiphany, impossibly hypnotic and complete. Resident Advisor writes, "100% GALCHER laid out a louche, lysergic and resolutely black take on deep house." Pitchfork remembers the music's immediate impact: "It's the sort of gem you felt inclined to pass around” — and by year-end list time, word-of-mouth intensified. It was Resident Advisor and Juno's mix of the year, and earned a top-ten placement in FACT Magazine's albums list, as well as Philip Sherburne's personal rundown for Spin." Since then, select songs from 100% GALCHER have seen small-run pressings, while the album has lived primarily on SoundCloud and YouTube as a low-key cult legend. The gateway into Lustwerk's now well-established catalog, known for its reliability as a late-night listen and its prophetic vision for the near future of underground dance music. RA would later name it a mix of the decade, citing its influence and imagination: “Original in every sense — unknown, unheard and unbelievably good.” In late 2022, marking ten years since he first recorded the material, Lustwerk returns to Ghostly International to release 100% GALCHER as a remastered limited-edition double LP.

Lustwerk is a product of the Midwest. Growing up in Cleveland, he'd tape over his parents’ cassettes and spend hours at his family computer recording loops and designing artwork for the jewel cases of burned CDs. In high school, he turned to Ableton Live and absorbed every electronic music magazine he could find at the local Borders Books store. In excerpts from the 100% GALCHER liner notes, Lustwerk looks back: "My dad drove me to this shop on the westside Bent Crayon, where I would get anything the blogs told you to get + whatever the clerk recommended. CDs stayed in their packaging, there was always an overflow of vinyl stacked on the floor. I was too shy to listen to anything before buying."

As a college student at RISD, he played in noise bands, plugged into Providence's DIY scene via Myspace, and started DJing weeknights at bars downtown. There he connected with Young Male and DJ Richard, who would go on to found White Material Records and offer their third release to Galcher Lustwerk, an alias realized via CAPTCHA test, a perfect artifact of its internet age. By 2012, Lustwerk had drifted to New York City and settled into a graphic design job, quickly growing disenfranchised by office culture. "Some days I felt like a token, other days I felt invisible." At night, he and his friends were carving out their own space

The boys are back in town! Label head Nhan Solo and Mother Recordings regular Dilby are back at it with another dynamite collaboration to start the year off with a bang!

Work is a feel good house record with the bounce and groove dial turned all the way up. Infectious drums and a catchy vocal hook demand attention and pulsing bass line dominates the low end.

Known for exploring different shades of house music, Dilby turns in a deeper dub version of Work. Here he subdues the vocal and strips back the drums with a modern-retro twist, while maintaining the warmth and energy of the original.

The one and only Mother Recordings welcome the always firing NiCe7 for a pair of red hot dance floor bombs. The Italian duo have released on the likes of DFTD, Crosstown Rebels, Snatch! and Mother previously, and they return to Mother with another couple of dance floor bombs.

„Disco Change“ kicks off with a razor sharp groover, rock solid kicks and plenty of tense synths. Once a big vocal arrives to bring diva qualities and lung busting hooks the whole tune goes to another level and will really blow the roof off.

„Look At Me“ then has a perfectly slinky groove with a real sense of skip to it. The hi hats are icy cold, the kick drums flap underneath, and then some old school chords come in to really get those hands in the air next to another fine vocal.


These are classy and highly effective tunes from NiCe7.

Cellaroot presents the label’s first vinyl containing 4 thrilling cuts. With swinging basslines, emotive pads and subtle instruments, these tracks provide an introspective depth and style, essential for minimal and microhouse lovers.

Cocoon latest artist signing Coyu is back on the track with his second Cocoon Recordings release. And he strikes back louder and heavier than ever before! For quite some time Coyu focused mainly on the deeper sides of house and techno, especially with his own label 'Suara". However his new Cocoon Release 'I Want Your Jack' is a stunning example for kicking and xxl-strong techno at its best and proofs these sounds are not only made in Sweden these days. 'I Want Your Jack' is pure energy and a dignified successor to Len Faki's remix of 'Stranger To Stability' by Dustin Zahn. A must play for the end of this years techno season. Track number two 'D-Change' is a co-production with Chicago house legend K-Alexi. This man breathes the word 'jack' and he strongly influenced the techno-movements in cities like Berlin or Frankfurt. His productions added the right sound to clubs like the 'Tresor' or the 'Omen' in the early 90s and his colab with Coyu strongly refers to these times. 'D-Change' beams the high days of Underground Resistance and Industrial Strength into the year 2013. The message is clear and pure madness is called out on techno-floors with this one. We especially like the legendary 'Are You Ready' vocal here, a famous whoop by Cocoon master Sven Väth back in the days. 'Octagon' is the third track in this package however this is all but no bonus track. This is another proper techno-monster and Coyu added some cool house-elements here. Tribal beats and vague vocal samples shimmering in the backround make us want to dance around a tribal bonfire at night. 'Octagon' is a universal weapon for techno- and house-fans that will shake up dancefloors. This one is for the dancers and not for the rubbernecks!

We are glad to welcome in our vinyl catalogue this solid piece of electronic music. The Maple Mania EP will land in the best records store around the globe, bringing some heat to every dj who wants to burn the dance floors.

Maple Juice has delivered the best versions of the styles he’s used to play in dj sets and live sets: Techno & Acid, Electro & Footwork, Proto-House & Slow Disco are what you will find in this banging four tracker 12”.

• Acerate: A pure electronic structure takes a techno way to fire up the dancefloor. Hard kicks and prominent snares push the rhythm while a destroying bass line sustains the acid synths riot. Play loud

• Evriba: Straight from his crazy dj sets, a footwork affair. 145 bpm, broken solid steps and ghetto percussive sounds, cavernous basses, neurotic cut-and.paste pf vocal samples. Futuristic.

• Maple Mania: Early Chicago House, 90’s flavors. Inside the 4/4 realm with fat kicks, classic cheesy piano strings, relentless hi-hats, a disco heritage warped synth lines and funk samples. A tribute.

• Antinolo Melody: An instrumental mid-tempo metropolitan catwalk. Hip Hop drums samples dialogue with a steady beat over a groovy bass and ethereal synths melodies. Get lost in a movie.

Maple Mania EP is landing on the 19th of november! Proudly produced on Taste Rec.

The fifth vinyl release of Petra Beat Records is a musical exploration by the artist MHADAN who debuts with his Introspective Ep.
The debut of the artist Salentino, born in 1992, is a journey within the body and mind which materializes in four original tracks.
It is the emotional result of a two-year meditation around Europe: a skilful composition of various natural environments that cradle the body, mind and darker side of each of us.

If there were a parallel universe, Silverlining would surely inhabit it as a devoted silviculturalist (one who cares and cultivates forest trees; a forester), empowered with superpowers to converse with the plants. But in this realm, the South Londoner can only daydream about a life in the woods from the warmth of his log cabin-inspired studio in the depths of the urban sprawl, accented with the aromas of forest air freshener. His latest Forest Dreams EP channels his pining for pine onto yet another slice of black PVA for your listening and dancing enjoyment. “The Lumberjack’s Call” laments the woodcutter’s cry for “timber” (or is it saying “deeper”?), stripping a disco-tinged house groove through a metaphysical sawmill, punctuated by Motor City-inspired synths. “Tepozteco”, named after the neotropical national park and mountaintop pyramid outside Mexico City, draws inspiration equally from US house grooves of Mood II Swing as it does the ethereal synthetics of early Warp Records. The release closes off with the title track “Forest Dreams” where the latter earthly tones are swept aside to meet the demands of dayglow techno sprites that haunt the electrics of Silverlining’s studio.

This summer will see the launch of Anthea’s latest brainchild, PILLZ, the diverse label will sit comfortably as a sub label of the prolific Partisan outfit, with the A&R being carefully curated by herself, and long time friend Velasco hailing from NYC now Berlin based. The label is aiming to be a safe haven for straight edge, and innovative sounds from a selection of rising talent, and simultaneously friends and artists they have met along the way on their journey together.

Inaugurating the release is the talented Francesco Carvetta, his debut outing is an impressive showcase of his gritty, and discerning sound, but always maintaining a danceable approach. Four chunky and distinctive cuts spread across the vinyl EP.
Deep and mysterious energy kicking off what is set to become an integral label in the coming years, sitting comfortably as the sub label of the prolific Partisan imprint. PILLZ is officially born!

Friedrich Raphael preps us for a glistening summer with the release of his second EP on Istanbul based Petra Digital/Vinyl Recordings, entitled 'Koi'. The EP features remixes from Berlin artist, Sense of Sun and Kassell based Herb Rhythm adding an extra flavour to the work of art, whilst keeping to the key theme of warm summer nights we all long for. All arranged in a tight package of digital and vinyl.

Friedrich pays homage to classic deep house with his first track, 'Vitra'. The powerful kick drum drives the energy of this original mix which allows a mellow pad and slapping bass to play off one another, giving us a powerful groove to move our feet to. 'Villa' gives the dancer a harsher taste of Friedrich’s music with the percussive elements becoming more active whilst still maintaining the distinctive vibe. A touch of class from the blossoming talent, with his grip tightly gripped on a bright future.

Sense of Sun takes 'Vitra' and gives it a rework in his own refreshing style. The intended feel of the track is still at the forefront but Sense Of Sun stamps it with a hint of a disco feel, with the constant shuffle of the hi-hat line and funky bass steering the track towards this road of happy feels. Herb Rhythm takes a slightly different route with his remix of 'Villa', motoring towards a garage feel with its disjointed drum arrangement, weaving in and out with its prolific chords, notably suited for one of those dance floor moments you could not possibly forget.

If you’re looking for an EP that’ll keep you moving through a glistening summer, Koi is the one for you.

Equilibrisme: a balancing act, a harmony of multiple different elements, tuned to each other seamlessly. Equilibrisme launches it’s first vinly release! The first instalment Cyberport by Man-L is a three tracker EP including a remix by Canadian dub-techno legend Matt Thibideau under his moniker Altitude. The whole EP is a beautiful mix of minimal and dub techno. With Cyberport, Man-L is diving deep while still maintaining a dancefloor vibe, Altitude’s take on Cyberport is a stripped back deep and dubby excursion that feels like floating. Direct Sun will take you on another journey of warm chords and delays. It’s all about the balance!

With 'D & N's' Rolando releases his second 12' for Ostgut Ton following his impressive label
debut, the '5 to 8 EP' which featured two tracks that also appeared on the Berghain 04 Mix
CD. Now he serves up 3 new tracks that solidify his reputation as someone who is still
pushing forward not content to rest on his laurels.

The title track 'D & N's' prooves that the loop-master is still true to his Detroit heritage even
though he resides in Scotland now. Pacing kicks and timid hi-hats take care of the hypnotic
build-up you might expect from Rolando. Then deep sub bass and planar synths step in and
create a firework that relentlessly winds itself deep into the subconscious, regardless of
whether the listener is already dancing or just about to.

- We Will' embodies a mantra-like magic, but bleeping extensions and 4/4 severity create a
sweeping unrest. Nervous, penetrating and restless, it's a stirring techno gem.

- Filthy' demands attention from the go. While a titanic beat unleashes a severe rhythm,
tambourine delays and helicopter synths awaken the semiconsciousness - alarming chirrups
inclusive. An elaborate devil of a club track that puts a deep final marker onto this well
rounded EP.

After his contribution to the "Lifesaver Compilation 4 - 21 (Dedicated To Andrew Weatherall)" last year with the pumping "Let's Hide Away", Damiano von Erckert presents his first proper full four tracker on LARJ. Expect dreamy moments with a lot of punch and great vocal snippets as Damiano dominates the bass drum in his masterful way.

A1 "MOONS" sucks you in with light and groovy bongo patterns which build the foundation for an uplifting track that's a bit dark around the sunnier side of things, yet still keeps the positive message: You and I can make it!

A2 "A MONSTER TO LOVE" sounds a bit like a modern take on the "Captain Future Theme", yet much deeper and darker. Atmospheric but built on one hell of a monster groove.

B1 "THESE ARE THE MOMENTS (FOR ZIMNI)" has epic qualities and is full of the uplifting moments we all need - not only Zimni … It does have a certain British sound to it and will definitely rule on a lot of dancefloors with its majestic bass line and whipping hi-hat.

B2 "WISHES" is reminiscent of yet more British sounds from the early 90ies (think Warp and early Nightmares On Wax). The beautiful vocal sample helps build up the tension here before a driving 303 bass line kicks in and takes no prisoners. You better wish for moments like these indeed … and relish them.

"About a year after the drop of his latest studio effort ‘Roses and Aliens’ on EMTY, Swedish producer Emotional Ty follows up with a new four-tracker, ‘Purest Blue’ EP, due out for release in the spring. Working in the gap between spaced-out abstraction and no-nonsense floor dynamics, Edgar Ariza has shaped and polished a sound both ethereal and physical, cosmic and down-to-earth. Undoubtedly following that very path he’s forged for himself with previous releases, his newest iteration sweeps the spectrum wide and far, from hypnagogic electronica to acid-infused techno, via Italo-laced house rhythms; all sharing that trademark ability to get your

REPRESSED !!!!!

Gui's fresh hip-swinging Techno goes directly into the interface of experimental Minimal & catchy Tech House.

this is the long-awaited, highly-anticipated debut full-length release from architect, producer, musician and composer, gui boratto, born in sao paulo, brazil. those who have followed his steady stream of 12" singles are already well acquainted with his remarkable ear for coming up with emotive, savvy dance music. whether it be his minimal-techno burners for kompakt's k2 imprint, energetic house for steve bug's audiomatique recordings and plastic city, and of course, there was "like you," the sensational pop-techno anthem that broke him wide open on the international circuit early last year. though he recently began producing under his real name (debuting with a remix for the film city of god), what many don't know about gui boratto is that for over 10 years he has been one of brazil's most in-demand producers having worked with such consecrated artists/bands as pato banton, steel pulse, desiree, manu chao and many, many others. with chromophobia, boratto surpasses all experience and expectation with infinite catchy hooks, lazy synths, romantic vocals, and so many shimmering techno-colors, it'll make your eyes squint in the sunshine. many scribes spoke that last year was the year techno learned how to make a proper artist album. well, boratto very well could be the first to perfect the art with this momentous release. it's easy to coin gui boratto as "varied" and "eclectic," however, gui brings a vast spectrum of influences together with an uncanny sensibility to make arguably the seminal kompakt record filled with all the grace and roar in the world to shake the bottoms of the biggest dance haters out there, and get our fans so excited they'll feel like they're on their fifth caipirinha raving on top of the sugarloaf

The small Ukrainian label PERSUOL is back with a great 4 track EP!

Co-founder of Lisiere Collectif, and self-confessed synth geek ardb reveals his alter ego focused on repetitive sounds, trancey motifs and the true rulers of this planet, cats.

These four tunes combine a raw toolkit vibe with the softness of late night ambient excursions and a sense of twisted serenity, all feline qualities inspired by Mitzy the cat, as the two navigated together last year’s pandemic inside a small apartment in Bucharest.

The Romanian producer known as Dirty Culture represents a distinctive, dense, atmospheric sound and a crunchy rhythm section. On the B side is a soft and thoughtful remix from SCSI-9, as well as a dance and experimental remix from the founder and head of "House Dessert Records" - Artem Shpist. In general, the release has an eclectic sounds.

Spanish artists Jay Nortown and Jacobo Saavedra aka JNJS delivering the next installment of MOVIN'. The collaboration of these two talents has produced top releases on many highly respected labels and gained support of industry leading acts. Now they continue with this beautiful 4 track vinyl EP for us."

Early Support from: Priku, Arapu, Traumer, Barac, Archie Hamilton, S.A.M, Janeret, Nu Zau, Direkt, Cosmjn, Tania Vulcano & more

Founded back in 1997, Trax Magazine is the pionneer of Electonic Music and soon became the referent for this movement. Please find the finest selection of three genres of the Club Culture with artists and tracks that forged these styles : House,Techno and Drum'n'Bass. From the start in Detroit to the endless nights of Berlin, go through the greatest Techno Hits. From Dave Clarke to Josh Wink or Laurent Garnier, all the main names of Techno on a double vinyl.

As one of the people behind the taste making Subwax distribution & label, Baldo's pedigree within the European electronic music community cannot be under stated. Here he pulls together seemingly disparate threads of house & techno from both the past and present to create a well rounded and diverse EP on E-Beamz, from the reminiscent 90's garage house sounds of 'Ethereal Tubes' to the acid tech of 'Drive' and the unashamedly hands in the air stomper 'Ex Machina' (Power House Mix).

Raw and fresh detroit influenced techno from D&S (AEX, Girada) with a modern breaky remix by Julian Perez (Girada, Rawax, Fathers & Sons). limited, hand stamped, vinyl only

Up next on the label we have some reimaginations of Francesca’s ‘The Inside Out’ mini-LP from last year. Featuring some extra terrestrial funk from Martyné, a deep space acid journey courtesy of Z@P, a breakbeat bassline pumper by Pleasure Club’s very own Bobby. & Mariiin, and last but not least a slick minimal excursion from Harry McCanna aka Henry Hyde.

Mind Dance’s first release of the year, ‘Furious Frank – Wavepool', offers up four emotive, yet unique, club cuts. Including a proggy remix of the A1 by NZ’s own Eden Burns, which skillfully weaves between energetic perc build ups, catchy vocal synths and indulgent chords.

After exploring some of the UK’s house music heritage, Late Night Burners’ reissue offshoot Still Burning struck gold closer to home; the Dutch have always been adept at crafting club sounds and Marcel Franke’s contributions are no exceptions.

Between 1992 and 1998 he was moving freely between house, progressive, trance, and techno under various guises leaving behind a trove of serious dancefloor 12-inches. One of these was “Tinnitus” released in 1995 under his single-use alias Timelock, containing four menacing party cuts straddling ravey house and deep techno. The Late Night Burners guys took two of them, had them faithfully remastered for the modern dancefloor from the original DATs, and added two remixes; one by the label bosses themselves and one by Youandewan, who has had the original record in his bag for so long it only seemed fitting to ask him.

The first compilation from the new How High label, featuring some of Tokyo's finest artists! Tokyo-based DJ/producer Ryokei's How High party label has released its first compilation single! The artists on this compilation are Takashi Himeoka, a core member of the Phreak label who releases on Cabaret Recordings and Binarysound, Tokyo based DJ/producer Hisashi, Chatty Chatty Mutants, Riku Sugimoto, who also releases on the H24 label, and label stalwart Ryokei. With a background in tech house, electro and minimal, all of these tracks have the funkiness and precision of dancefloor savvy, but are also
very DJ-friendly. This is the first release from a label that's been around for a long time!

Scott Ferguson came to house and techno in one of its most fertile grounds - Detroit, in the mid 90s. Since then he has served up his own take on the timeless genres on a range of quality labels. Now he arrives on Chateau Chepere with four more of his stylish cuts. They are couched in deep house as always but with cues taken from future jazz, garage and plenty in between. These are real winter warmers that will seduce an early evening crowd or lock in a 5 am dance floor in equal measure.

Enshanté! The long overdue comeback of Shan on Running Back won’t disappoint fans new and old. Correctly captioned „Warehouse Vol. 1“, the EP with six tracks isn’t a tribute to the Chicago’s legendary club of the same name (with all respect due and even if that’s almost impossible). Shan’s sixth release for his home town label is rather a nod to all the nameless industrial spaces and places that played and still play a role as shelters and fertile soil for raw and ruff dance music.
More a feeling and a sound aesthetic than a concrete set of rules, you will find ingredients as diverse as breakbeats, rave signals, Italo bass lines, Virgo-esque piano notes (Shifter) and uptempo grooves that all seem to be lifted from an overdriven early nineties mixtape by an unknown DJ: before, during and after the rave.
Especially Abfahrt (German slang for rave) deserves special attention for connoisseurs of proto-jungle Rage house with big stabs and a Reese bass to die for. Works like a charm at any tempo and almost any peak time. Excuse the pun, but please: Join in the Shant!

Swallow this: Part 4 of the Running Back various artists series here and as always, there is no long reading needed: 5 tracks by 5 different producers with different backgrounds and experiences. All somehow fit together and paint a bigger picture between remodeled deep house techniques and floor mechanics.
Yungruzt feat Eluize opens the dance with the emo-house poem Starlight. The young man managed to deliver a transcendental masterpiece that is best used for coming up - or down, if you will. A Human Connection is being made next by Baldo. Imagined and made for high times, the Barcelona mainstay applies a tried and tested formula isn’t failing here either: 303 morse codes, break beats and an on going automated voice message do the trick. The man like 9th House goes back to the deep with the yearning and beautifully composed piece Ara, while Tiger & Woods co-author Delphi trades the boogie and disco tropes for heartfelt piano house. Last but not least, new talent Signal Mute pushes it over the finishing line with another tearjerker. Shared joy is double joy!

Club Sweat newcomers LIIFE, team up with BBC Radio 1 hall of famer, Roland Clark to bring you 'This Ain't Freedom'. Considered by many as the "Voice of House" Roland's lyrics are politically powerful, reflecting on the meaning of Freedom in modern society
Remixes from Superlover & Yolanda Be Cool

DJ Support from Claptone, Fisher, Danny Howard, Horse Meat Disco, Illyus & Barrientos

The Aviary launches with Part I of the Scattered Love Story by ROOT

Deep meaningful music from the soul for those in the know , experimenting in deep back-grounded unique frequencies that forges his vision.

4 beautifully unique crafted tracks that tell their own story, creating a whole state of resonance through precise elements and sound generators ensuring an astral trip to the mood, taking influences from a wide range of music styles and genres.

Hot Natured and Ali Love are set to release one of the most hotly anticipated singles of the year, ‘Benediction’ on 29th October through Hot Creations.

Hot Natured’s last single ‘Forward Motion’ was the seductive summer anthem of 2011. Since then the founding members of Hot Natured, Jamie Jones and Lee Foss, have been joined by Ali Love and Luca C (from the duo Infinity Ink). The quartet has been locked away in writing sessions in Los Angeles, London and Ibiza, with an album planned for spring 2013.

‘Benediction’ is the first track to emerge from this album but its seeds were first sewn almost 10 year ago when Ali first thought of the main chords and concept. Today that idea has germinated into Hot Natured’s lead single. It features vocalist Ali Love’s trademark smooth and infectious tones, driven by melodic keys and that trademark deep, haunting bounce. ‘Benediction’ showcases Hot Natured’s collective song writing and top-of-their-game production skills to full, potent effect.

First heard on Jamie and Seth Troxler’s recent takeover for Pete Tong on Radio 1 and played at Hot Creations’ night Paradise at DC10 in Ibiza all summer, ‘Benediction’ is an irresistible and infectious crossover hit. It demonstrates exactly why Hot Natured and their Hot Creations label have become the go-to names for unrivalled disco-tinged, addictive house music with ‘quality’ stamped all over it. Also featured here are a blowout dub of ‘Benediction’ and a stupendous remix of ‘Forward Motion by MK… what a package!!

Ellum Audio mainstay Raxon is back with two more of his cosmic techno wonders.

Raxon hails from Egypt, is Barcelona based and has risen through the ranks with a well crafted and emotive techno sound on labels like Diynamic, Kompakt, Cocoon and more. Last summer he played huge parties like Resistance Ibiza at Privilege as well as festivals like DGTL. Though he has made big moves in recent years, Raxon has been deeply involved in the scene for more than two decades.

Characterful opener 'Loop Machine' is a dark and playful tune with loopy vocals layered over a rolling drum beat. The pixelated synths spray about the mix and the whole thing is destined to make the club bounce as one.

The excellent 'Love Lapse' has a retro feel with its 80s synth chords and widescreen astral atmospheres. A busy bassline does plenty of work to keep things moving, while turbulent blasts of synths and prickly percussion add vital texture to this late night jam.

These are two more forward-looking and evocative tracks from the ever on-point Raxon.

After a sick intergalactical party on The Archivarius dancefloor, Antam records is back with an afterparty friendly 5 trackers.

The Italian duo delivers a deep journey through sunrise infused groovy techno cuts. Antam creatures are set to relax in Saturn with these full emotion tracks. Perfectly balanced to get in shape during the morning good vibes before going back to the exploration of space.

The latest Still Hot release comes from label boss Benny Grauer himself. The release is called "Move On" and contains 3 original tracks and a great Gorge remix.

The two originals "Move On" and "Harmonic Resonance" are groovy deep house tunes, carried by stabs and chords and a deep bassline. As a DJ, Benny Grauer likes to play Detroit and Dub-Techno, which also influences his productions.

Gorge has produced many very successful tracks in the last month. He gave Harmonic Resonance his own melodic style.

Friends of the black gold can already look forward to the deep and dub-influenced track Interference.

first 500 will be hand signed by Kerri himself

House music icon Kerri Chandler unveils his first album in 14 years, Spaces and Places, a global celebration of club and sound system culture, meticulously created by the New Jersey producer/DJ over several years on location at twenty-two of the world’s most distinguished nightclubs. Each track built on the spaces individual relationship with Kerri, often through decades of live shows or appearances, and in the process capturing unique rhythmic and emotional nuances.

Written and performed with a temporary studio on the centre of each dance floor, this jaw dropping 3 x 12” album in a stunningly designed tri-fold picture sleeve complete with hand signed A2 poster insert (first 500 only), showcases Kerri at his finest. Taking in never before heard tracks, versions and mixes separate to the four samplers that preceded it, this incredible body of work and concept has seen the album submitted for two Grammy awards.

As one of dance music’s most respected and authentic figures, Kerri Chandler is a true originator of his genre, with an impeccable discography and signature sound to match. He has unquestionably helped to shape house music’s positive outlook over the last 30 years. Not only from the DJ booth and studio, but also as an A&R via his Kaoz Theory label which has worked with contemporary talents like Jamie Jones, Seth Troxler and The Martinez Brothers. Now, Kerri Chandler is set to release a carefully rendered and truly unique body of work. Spaces and Places will undoubtedly be seen as a timeless tribute that underscores the originality that has kept him as one of the most in-demand artists for so many years.

“The first time I stepped into a nightclub was with my father as a child. I saw the magic of what a club space could sound and feel like as my Dad set up the DJ equipment at The Rallye Racquet Club. Hearing the power of those huge Altec Lansing "Voice of the Theater" Speakers and Horn-loaded JBL subwoofers fascinated me! In the late 80s, I was spoiled sonically by playing on several Richard Long Sound Systems around New York and New Jersey. This is why ever since I first ventured away from home, I have been infamous with my soundchecks at any space I have performed in. I make sure, with the help of the engineers in these “Spaces and Places”, many I have known most of my career, to get the best from each system. Each sound system is unique to each venue, even if it's the same type of gear, because of the physical space. And when you add the right audience to that specific nightclub, it comes to life! The club owners and engineers were gracious enough to let me take over each club and turn each venue, into a recording studio. I wanted to express the love of what could be possible in capturing my productions in the venue, from the heart of each space, right on the dance floor and I translate it onto this album, which I created over the course of 4 years and 24 venues later. I hope you enjoy this journey as I have. I present to you: "Spaces and Places".

With Love, Respect and Admiration.” – Kerri Chandler

While our lives are being set upside down due to a crazy amount of events, from climate change to eco-political re-assessment with crisis and pandemic emergencies a new spiritual era is approaching us. Rituals as well as magical practices are what we really need to learn how to go through this and be born again. We need to look inward and seek the truth that we can neither find in the outside world nor inside the digital one.

'As I'm always evolving, every now and again I need to make a point about my latest sound. Curveballs has been especially written to showcase the full range of my current sound and features a carefully selected collection of tracks designed for a club environment. "Riva Starr

Dance music's prolific Italian-born London-based sharpshooter Riva Starr set to release fourth artist album Curveballs via Adam Beyer's revered Truesoul Records.

Riva Starr has been shaking up the world of dance music with his eclectic and unpredictable palette of sounds and styles for over a decade. Over the years, he has racked up numerous accolades and achievements including releasing 3 acclaimed albums (If Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade in 2010, Hand In Hand in 2013 and Definition of Sound in 2016), having a myriad of single/EP releases on some of dance music's most established labels (Snatch! Records, Hot Creations, Relief, Crosstown Rebels, Dirtybird) and amassing an impressive remix resume of artists including; Audion, Groove Armada, Dennis Ferrer, Usher, Estelle, London Grammar, Fatboy Slim, Reboot and David Morales.

With all of this success and experience under his belt, the time has come for the talented Italian to deliver his much awaited fourth long-player, Curveballs - comprising of 12 stellar tracks inspired by current club sounds and old school music elements, driven by Starr's endeavor to produce music that stands the test of time.

The LP's striking opener, 'Always' gets things underway and sets the tone with its powerful house groove, warm chord stabs and divine soulful vocal courtesy of legendary house diva Jocelyn Brown. Elsewhere, there's the funk-driven disco-tinged 'Piknik', the uplifting 'Needin' U' esque 'Disco Loco', the dark and commanding 'The Hole (Release Your Soul) and the pounding peak-time synth-laden roller 'Give Me Love'.

Other highlights include, the infectious breakbeat workout 'Britcoin', the techy electro-tinged 'Fresh' and the experimental synth-driven Techno gem 'AnalHog'. The album concludes with 3 fine cuts in the form of the bass heavy TR-909 laden 'Ride', the funk-fueled house groover 'Mantra (Early In The Morning)' and an exclusive deep-house-esque Dub version of 'Give Me Love' to round off yet another essential long-player from one of dance music's much-loved artists.

Punchy, UK inspired House EP

Apartment returns with a release exploring 3 facets of house music all inter-connected by the vocals of UK Soul & R'n'B singer, Greg Blackman (BBE Music). Steve Legget's (Four Hands, Claremont 56) original Believe Mix, the catalyst for the project, is an expansive 10 minute-plus journey through wistful dub lead by Blackman's soaring vocals. On the flip Mark Hand (Signals From The North) delivers a re-working; sculpting a beautiful, sun-kissed masterpiece featuring drums and percussion by Darren Moore alongside Hand's inspired playing on the Rhodes and Moog. To close out the release NCW finally makes a return to APT and subsequently gets lost in the DMZ pitching and twisting Blackman's vocals over a pulsating, bumping house banger.

Mom’s Spaghetti finally returns with volume 3 of their edit series! More of the usual hard-hitting disco/soul edits alongside some cheeky TV/Film soundtrack numbers to fill you up on this latest serving of Mom’s Spaghetti!

Love Manifesto, our 3rd vinyl only release, is Robert David's artistic expression, and an introspection in the meaning of Love. What is love in all it's forms, how we accept or deny it, how society can change the meaning of it and deform it. This is a very special project in which the artist crossed over the realms of sound by creating a painting that was done in paralel with the original tracks, absolutely with no intention of becoming the cover of the project. But somehow it fitted perfectly. With the Minimal and the Romanian sound being at the root of the project, the 2 remixes from Argenis Brito and Macarie, complete the picture and the trip in which we invite you to dive in and hopefully enjoy the "madness" of it, as we did.

Peace and Love
Unfelde Records

Berlin based Spin Desire is returning with its second outing. Welcoming the debut release of Ukrainian based producer / live act from Odessa : victor.b Victor has been making waves with his live sets for the last 2 years and this is his first full length release. We are more than happy to have him on board with this amazing record. Four trance infused tracks designed straight for the dance floor and cut directly from his live set!

In the very depth of Rummelsburg the one has arisen. And his name was Franzis Skanner. Him and his accomplices are meant to change the world. Forever.

June 17th marks the launch of AVENUE 66, a new imprint from the ACID TEST camp. A dark acid laced house cut with vocals by EBONY UGO backed with a remix by Ukrainian producer VAKULA, who provides a dreamy lush remix and "AUSET", a monster head trip made for dancefloors and headphones alike. Dope!

SoHaSo continues their summer sampler series. Again, the Utrecht based record label brings you some forgotten beauties from the past. Mostly from the Lowlands this time. Perfect Virtue by British trio Shi Take is one of those gems. Tribal house rhythms from 30 years ago, with a bassline that makes you want to wiggle all the way to the center of the dance floor. SoHaSo label head honcho Nuno had been playing a demo of Tools for Fools by Dutch producer Sluwe Vos for years, when he found out the energetic rhythm track never got a proper release. Well, now it has. Flip over for some more forgotten Dutch house history. Jibaros is a project from dance veteran Eric Cycle. It has all the elements that made house music from the lowlands so good in those days: percussive beats, a decent baseline and good melodies sprinkled on top. It's a layercake of sweet stuff that just keeps on building. Very pricey on Discogs nowadays, but luckily Cycle still had the original DAT-tape lying around. Nozem is a bit of the odd one out. It's actually a project by a young dude from the south of Holland but it sounds like he stepped into a time machine which warped him back to the 90s. The vocals (in ancient Greek!) are from Sister of Iris. Closure track Tinkling Sensation by Delta (Alex Dijksterhuis) is more than 25 years old. With it's fast-paced rhythms this piano driven tune could well be something post-progressive from Scandinavia. But this is the real deal. Uplifting rave music from the days people were still carrying fluor sticks.

‘(Still) Searching’ has been released first as the debut of Andre’s Best Works Records in 2009. 11 years later the new and improved version that we are playing since a while still gives us the same feeling it triggered back then. We started a lot of club sets with ‘Still Searching’ as it has this long, steady and discreet build up. As soon as Nathalie Claude’s voice jumps in, the room always fills up with excitement. This never stops as the track just keeps on creating more energy as it goes on and the great mixing and perfectly sounding percussions made us fall in love with the track even more, version after version. As good things come to those who wait, here we are. With two originals from Andre and two beautiful crafted remixes from New Jackson, our home grown artist Shiffer.

Sex Tapes From Mars second reissue drop comes through more contemporary, tighter, and cleaner but not lacking the grit of its predecessor.

The baseline alone on Electromenager’s ‘Sunny Side’ on the right dance floor, on the right sound system, it’s enough to end any rave. That’s meant in the best way possible, how do you follow a track with such precision yet drunken mania all at the same time. The synths echo Hitchcock’s scariest movie shot in the 60s, while the drums make you more than aware while simultaneously deranged on this outer planet destination this new label takes you to.

Staple selector and producer Youandewan takes it to even further afield galaxies on the flip. Tribal drums and morphing samples, conjure free party energy, with the top end in the sky and the low end firmly rooted in expertly crafted club-ready transgression.

The last remix by Huerta comes earnest and precise. Less low-swung and more f**k off. The baseline is simple but absolute. This is squishy, mushy, dirty dance music.

One for the books, collection - this is one for the heads.

Colin Chiddle’s Art of Dark releases its 11th EP. Italian producer Matthias returns to give his 2nd to the label.

Timmo follows up his debut Drumcode release 'We Beat On' with a brand new 4-tracker packed to the rafters with his own unique blend of techno. His productions are getting plays from the likes of Adam Beyer, Joseph Capriati and Richie Hawtin amongst others; 2017 is set to be his biggest year yet.
Timmo's unique sound has captured the eyes and ears of many highly revered techno DJs around the world and his 'System' release is a stark reminder of exactly why this is.
'Intensify' is a big room record that is set to do some real damage on dancefloors worldwide.
This peak time tool thumps through 7 minutes of power, dragging you in and throwing you out the other side as the track rolls on.
'The Maze' is an example of his excellent production, with his use of synths on a level that some producers take years to hone.
'System' is a haunting track, authentic four-to-the-floor techno that screams in to top gear right from the off. The release closes with the more groove and bass line laden 'Together'.
One of those tracks that is guaranteed to get stuck in your head...
