House Vinyl New Releases - News

6 years after his last release on the infamous Berlin “Just Another Beat” label (Gunnar Jonsson, Sven Weisemann, Rising Sun, Kim Brown, Jouem) Swedish producer Prostitune is back with a new EP. And we couldn’t be prouder that he chose Someguy Records as his outlet.

Clear Vinyl

Limited 200 copies / chrystal clear transparent vinylNot much information is available about Librah aside from the fact that the outfit hails from Sweden and that they released the critically acclaimed deep house twelve-inch '2BWU' on Parkwest in 2012, that brought the Deep House EP of the year for those true Loft heads and lucky clouds. 'Out of step", 'Timeless' music. Librah's follow up release on Yore Records is a sure sign of quality, however, and, true enough, My Love is 4ever is what every House Set needs. The perfect balance between deepness and punch. The release splits two Deep House tracks across its twelve-inch, transparent-coloured vinyl sides (limited to 200 copies), and supplements them with a digital-only bonus mix of the title cut. The material's mood is largely one of joy and uplift. The silky smooth title track quickly locks into its snappy house groove at the outset, and then pulls back the curtains to let the sunlight pour in. A bright theme imbues the skipping pulse with flavour, and the track rolls along for seven quietly jubilant minutes, its carefree spirit bolstered by a dreamlike vocal refrain and luscious synthesizer textures. Unspooling at a slightly slower BPM, the B-side's 'Gravity' opens with a sampled voiceover of grave character (When you live in a poor neighborhood, you're living in an area where you have to have poor schools / When you have poor schools, you have poor teachers...) before fixating on the tunes insistently swinging and hypnotic instrumental design. The digital mix of 'My Love is 4ever' packs a punch, too, especially when it pounds a bit harder than the original and sweetens the deal with a funky bass part and a twinkly keyboard riff.

Pittsburgh Track Authority is back. After a five year hiatus from releasing music--during which time PTA maintained focus on expanding the catalog of their labels Pittsburgh Tracks, Love What You Feel, Machine Age Records, and Sleeve -- Preslav and Adam are back with a rejuvenated outlook on music and a renewed sense of purpose. The new album titled PA System is a collection of house and techno written to serve as a document of the past 18 months. As always with PTA, friends near and far, old and new, were a part of the writing process and the album includes collaborations with C. Scott, Santiago Salazar, Stuart Bogie, Nic Offer, Samurai Velvet, John Hall, and Kenny Peagler.

RAWAX welcomes Thomas barnett to the family! It was more than about time to invite this great artists to our label. We are very happy to present you a great treasure from the past back on vinyl. It's the "Foundation Series Volume One". Originally released in 1997 on Visillusion Records, Detroit.

A multidisciplinary voyage through exploratory listening: Oddysee offers experiences through carefully-curated events, podcasts, radio and Buy Music Club playlists. Established in 2020 and operating with a heartfelt passion for electronic music culture, the Amsterdam-based platform connects the dots between like-minded music aficionados in their hometown and beyond.

Their inaugural release is a compilation that features musical works from artists that they had the pleasure of collaborating with over the first 12 months. A carefully curated assembly of a rather talented bunch of creatives. This special first edition vinyl featuring high-grade dance floor excursions from Eva Geist & Steve Pepe, Budino, Massimilano Pagliara and Christian S. Accompanied with exclusive artwork from Vancouver-based (CA) contemporary artist Amy Stewart.

100% of profits from the vinyl will be directly donated to NATV - a close-to-heart platform that amplifies indigenous voices and perspectives to a global audience. At a time when indigenous peoples' identities and their right to traditional lands continue to be violated, we hope to support these communities, many of whom protecting vital ecosystems to insure biodiversity for generations to come.

The vinyl's gadget this time is a yo-yo which, if you think of it, is just two discs making love. (only for the first 200 orders!)

Apparel Wax is back with the 9th gem of its catalogue, a stunning six track EP out worldwide on the 7th of June 2021. The vinyl faced hero always wants to grow, therefore is on a constant quest for the evolution of its music and this record proves it once again being it a superb array of assorted sounds. A1 kicks it off in style with its Chicagoan touch taking over after a smooth intro: the mellow pad chords laying down the foundation of the arrangement, the soft strings and the melodious piano notes make it a perfect start. A2 opens with a steady kick and a silky bassline murmuring throughout the whole track while some more keys create a Deep dynamic beat. To end side A here's A3 with its far-out, spacey atmosphere and its Deep chords backed by an energetic rhythm section. Side B of our vinyl is about class: B1 is a nothing short of chic with its sampled vocals and its elegant pads. B2 is more Deep with its evolving piano melody, its balanced and groovy drums and some masterly crafted tiny vocal samples. B3 wraps up the record with a Jungle beat sprinkled with Jazz, R&B and Soul. APLWAX009 is a tenacious and cohesive work, yet disseminated by inspirational and diverse sounds which will be Wax's touch forevermore. A perfect EP to start the warmest season with the hope of being able to enjoy the outdoors without restrictions.

Incredible, stone cold classic house music from the mighty Wayne Gardiner, a truly underrated producer whose output has remained evergreen over the decades and is definite deep house royalty. 'Moments In House' is from 1990, unbelievable really when you hear how fresh it sounds today. The clue is in the title, this is a killer version of Art Of Noise's seminal 'Moments In Love', a landmark record in itself. Gardiner pays tribute to the Art with his stripped, funky and driving use of their infamous pads and tones, a nod to the NYC / NJ clubs where records such as 'Moments In Love' would have been deemed the classics of the day. 'Just A Touch' is on the flip, a beautifully deep and bassline driven cut that evokes the spirit of Larry Heard, but doesn't borrow too heavily from him while carving out it's own late night sonic niche. One for the dancers and the lovers of the deepness. It's hard to top records like this, from the dawn of house music's golden age, innocent and uncomplicated yet oozing with soul and depth. There aren't many out there like Mr. Gardiner. Untampered with and re-presented in it's original 1990 form with original Strictly label artwork, you need this! Essential.

Visions Recordings is really excited and happy to present the brand new single from Kriss a.k.a.Life Recorder with a killer 4 tracks Ep.

Based in the city of Marseille , South of France, Life Recorder is no new to the Detroit and Chicago house scene and has released a few great singles on various label such as Aesthetic audio and Hizou , but also on his really great imprint Life Notes Records.

We heard a snippet of a demo on Instagram a few months back and we loved it so much that we asked him to send us the track and the outcome is this amazing ep . the 4 tracks are all really great jams going from deepness to acid and soulful vibes keeping the Chicago house feel and the dance floor grooves with a really crisp and heavy sound.

We fell in love with those tracks straight away when we received them and we hope you will too. Visions is about keeping the standard high and varied and once again we try to present you quality and deepness. Enjoy the ride.

Stunning 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Boxset, 12x12” 180g Vinyl Silver Pantone + Foil on Ultrablack Board, 16 page booklet , Download Card, Double-sided 90x60 Poster, Sticker Pack. (Non-Returnable)

Since 1991, Tresor has provided a home for artists to germinate their ideas for advanced new sounds and broadcast them to the world. The pioneers that first traversed the Detroit-Berlin connection and were at the forefront of a new cultural movement gave to Tresor its original and continuing mission: community, resistance and reshaping the world to come.

The Tresor 30 compilation represents a major land- mark in this continuing history of electronic music. This unique collection of music profiles some of the artists that gave the previous three decades of Tresor its sound and foundation, but it also casts its gaze forward. Writing new postcards from the future, this collection brings new artists who main- tain a connection to that original mission to the fore, charting ways in which this ethos can contin- ue to build bridges and break walls in the next 30 years.

Bringing together 52 essential tracks - both clas- sics and exclusive commissions - each of the 12 records in this box-set charts a unique line of flight from those artists that helped define the shape of this new music to those who continue to pattern its landscape further.

The future is bright and it’s now.

Detroit originator and Godfather of Techno Soul Eddie Fowlkes is back once again on his Detroit Wax label, this time via a two-tracker that acts as a timely reminder of his innate ability to conjure up thrilling dancefloor moments. The aptly named Esoteric Life EP features two devastatingly effective cuts, the likes of which celebrate Fowlkes’ famed penchant for ‘techno soul’ in some style. With both tracks made for peak-time floors, this is rough and ready stuff that’s sure to go down a treat with fans from both the techno and house divide.

Kicking off the release is the sounds of ‘Epsom’. By a distance the most outrageous track you’re likely to have encountered this side of the new year, it’s a thoroughly engaging, captivating and unpredictable techno workout that you’ll have encountered in some time. Contemporary but also rooted in Fowlkes’ classic style, this is electronic music of the sort that moves with a surefire swagger. Expect nothing but dancefloor pandemonium wherever this one is unleashed.

On the B side we say hello to ‘Mar Mar’, a cut that explores a different side of the producer’s production arsenal. Again, the emphasis here is on a banging aesthetic, but this time about it’s cut from a somewhat different cloth. A bumping track with a heavy emphasis on its unruly, snaking baseline, it’s another provocative number that’s sure to leave an impression. As ever with Eddie Fowlkes, both tracks here are masterfully curated — and most definitely made with the DJ in mind. All things told, this is top class fare from a man for whom we’ve come to expect exactly that.

It is truly a family affair over at 7 Days Entertainment. Butterbandz, the youngest son of 7 Days Entertainment label head Big Strick, gives us his debut EP titled Legacy. This freshman EP of the youngest of the Strickland clan is nothing short of what you would expect from a family member deeply rooted in dance music from Detroit. The first song off of the EP is a vocal track from BBZ with help from the artist Marc, who is a rising vocal talent from Detroit associated with the 7 Days imprint. If You Don’t Dance is slated to be an anthem among the scene for years to come. It evokes you to get out there and move your body. It brings the energy from start to finish with excited high hats, a grumpy bass and an admirable synth pattern. Things slow down for a more relaxed groove on Free Roaming, a laid back chiller with a smooth synth and a mellow bass of pure delight. Its reverbed synths take you on a never-ending journey through your own mind. Hellraiser is a straight high-octane pure adrenaline rush. It has the soul of true Detroit techno. The unforgiving drum and percussion pattern shines brightly over an acid bass line and catchy synth keys. The last song on the debut EP, Monkey See, closes the project out with a bang. An offset drum knocks on top of an offset synth and warm pianos. The flute is complementary and the percussion ties it all together nicely. Butterbandz shows unparalleled promise for more top-notch projects in the future

Burek family welcomes Detroit house don Javonntte into their circle with four infectious house bangers spread across the whole spectrum of the genre. This record has something for each part of the night, from the easy mood setting vibes to soulful bangers and straight up jacking peak time tracks that will make you sweat.

'Tomorrow', the opening cut, is the best example of the latter and the track's vocal sample 'strictly underground' is well earned. This pure head-bang house track will give you a run for your money. A side is concluded with 'Journey', a proper soulful house track which keeps all of its energy in spite of a slightly more subtle approach.

'No One Like You' is the first one on the flip and is a prime example of just how much soul and depth can a house banger have and Javonntte excels here both as a producer and a vocalist. Closing track 'Enter The Disco' is a slower, disco-sampled jam, perfect for that in-between time in the club when the action's about to happen.

Little do we know about Moondance, in fact when these tracks just showed up in the inbox one day, we said "Moon who?".
All we got was a link to a dropbox folder with three tracks signed Moondance.
One thing is for sure though, the music peaks volumes and that is why we didn't hesitate to sign all three of them.

The title track, 'Never Found Love' comes in two different shapes. While the original is a colourful, rich, and jazzy piano driven house track with a vocal to tie it all together, the Amen Mix is an off-kilter dub inspired version, it sounds like something straight out of a Innerzone Orchestra jam session

Moondance's own theme, 'The Moon Dance (2020)' sounds like the perfect blend between house and techno, carefully dipped into a pot with equal parts of forward thinking Detroit style and organic house.

This next release in the Exchange line we teamed up with Minneapolis label Open Exchange to bring you something very special. For years, Minneapolis and Detroit have had a very special connection. We decided to bring two artists to tell a tale of the two cities. Three amazing tracks from Detroit's house maestro Javonntte (Traxx Underground, Quintessentials, Lets Play House, Defected) and two tracks from Minneapolis's own Lowry boys (aka Aaron Bliss of Havens & Hart and Open Exchange's ACG) with a special little DJ tool thrown in for fun! To top it off we pulled in the genius himself to mix down and remaster the tracks Mr. Kevin Gorman aka Adesse Versions at Versions Mastering for that extra umff!

Following standout tracks and remixes from Radio Slave, Rødhåd and Parker himself, 'Golden Boy' is in good company on Work Them.
Work Them Records welcomes Concrete (Paris) residents The Outsiders to the fold with a three track EP dropping this October.
Behzad, Amarou and Antigone make up The Outsiders, a French trio who have been the subject of enthusiastic support from Work Them boss, Spencer Parker, for a couple of years now.
From the heavily swung 909 grooves of 'Golden Boy' and 'The Magic River' to the spaced out 'Epiphany', this release combines heady, deep tones with real driving power.
The 3 track ep that blurs the lines between house and techno. Paris, is most definitely in the house !

RAWAX CONTINUES THE MUSICAL JOURNEY WITH BOO WILLIAMS!
THE CHICAGO MASTER COMES AROUND WITH THE 3RD
RELEASE ON CHIWAX CLASSIC EDITION CALLED "LAST OF THE PASS".

Neues streng limitiertes Whitelabel 12” Vinyl ‘Rosewood’ von Bonobo jetzt erhältlich! First come first served...

The Detroit assault continues with the second release in the WPH U.S. Series coming courtesy of Brian Kage. Brian has been an integral part of the fabric of Detroit’s house & techno scene for as long as you can remember and has released many timeless grooves on his own Michigander label and many other outlets, including the brilliant ‘Shut Your Eyes’ on the Omar S-run FXHE label.

Opener ‘Werkit’ sets the bar high with a chugging groove, mind-melting strings and piano chords, all produced to perfection. The challenge is met by the two remixes. Detroit’s Patrice Scott goes on his classic deeper tangent that never fails to deliver and WPH boss Red D fires up an electro banger reminiscent of 313 staple Aux 88. Brian rounds things off himself in style with ‘Groove La Tape Deck’, a serious slice of hypnotic house music that will make you nod more than just your head. Timeless stuff once again from the WPH camp!

Twelve months after their last outing on Transmat, Trackmaster Lou reconvenes with Mr Hooper for another EP that masterfully blurs the lines between religion, science fiction and house music joy. Opener 'Chuuch' takes you direct to the altar, with a euphoric gospel singer swelling your heart as raw beats and infectious hand claps add to the whole uplifting experience. 'No Enemy No Table' takes a more direct approach to your soul, with tightly coiled bass overlaid by organ chords that burst with spirituality. Quickened beats and a frenzied preacher make this an urgent call to arms that sweeps you off your feet time and time again. This most unforgettable sermon concludes with the deeper, hip swinging claps and piano stabs of 'Here To There', a rich, soul infused number that allows you time to meditate on the groove and give yourself over to the unrivalled emotional beauty of this pure- hearted house track.

Following a prosperous career in music and poetry, Detroit-based musician and performer Malik Alston readies his vibrant album ‘Malik Alston Presents Painted Pictures: Air’ set for release via The Jazz Diaries. The album is a spirited celebration between jazz virtuosity and Motor City house music, showcasing Alston’s roots in Jazz, Gospel, Soul and Dance Music.

Alston’s story is one that is intrinsically aligned with the story of Detroit itself. Having hosted one of the first Slum Village concerts, and teaching vocal lessons to many members of the Detroit music community. His production and writing collaborations read like a who’s who of Detroit artists including Alton Miller, Amp Fiddler, Roy Davis Jr. & Javonntte and releases on Moodymann’s Mahogani Music to name a few. Malik’s mastery also earned him a nomination as 2005 Outstanding Electronic/Dance Writer Producer of the Year at the Detroit Music Awards. His poetry and music performances have been featured with the poetry troupe EmRuop and in concert with The Last Poets, Gil Scott-Heron and Jessica Care Moore. Having released several discs and having entertained audiences at the Winter Music Conference in Florida and at Club Module in Tokyo, Japan, Malik Alston’s music has touched the souls of many.

Presenting a collection of long lost tracks created by Malik and his band Painted Pictures, Alston manifests strong emotions for the LP’s title track ‘Air’. As he explains, “‘When I think of ‘Air’... for me, it exists to express a combination of freedom, self awareness, and doing something different and new. In ‘Air’ you get to really hear the band as a whole, no one stands out individually. It was all a matter of showing that we brought the music to life together as a unit. ‘Air’ is definitely a true reflection of what Painted Pictures was: free musicians who play good music.”

The immaculate and vivacious qualities of the LP conveys a message steeped in the spirit. As intricate piano melodies run deep, dancing around impressive percussive motifs, creating seamless foundations for saxophone and trumpet performances. Every now and then, captivating vocal riffs surprise listeners adding just another sensational layer to the arrangements. The production elements are what perfectly marry the instruments together to offer a cheerful, soulful and expressive work of music and emotion, an emotion which Alston in his own words “wants the world to hear. And not because I'm trying to tour off of it. Obviously if that happens, it would be beautiful. But rather because I believe the world needs to hear this project. It's a fun project, it has a lot of love, it has a lot of positive energy in a world that is going through so much right now”

The first 12" from the team of Gary Martin and Sean Deason on the new label Third Wave Audio brings us 4 strong songs all quite different from each other but pulled together by a theme of life on a simulated planet.

Emperor Recordings are back with DJ Pembroke's highly anticipated debut 12" EP.

EMP004 takes us on a journey through outer-space with 3 house-techno-electro cuts. Swung, funky and relentless, this record is to be played loud whilst you're cruising through the asteroid belt.

Dark Entries returns to the New Jersey basement studio of Smersh to unearth an 18-minute jam session from 1989, backed with two contemporary remixes. Smersh was the duo of Mike Mangino and Chris Shepard from Piscataway, NJ who began making music together in 1978. They were uninterested in traditional notions of songwriting or live performance. Between 1981 and 1993 they released over 40 cassette albums on their own Atlas King imprint. As these tapes traded their way across continents, Smersh developed a devoted following in places far beyond New Jersey, leading to releases on dozens of other labels from around the globe.

Sideways' was taken from a cassette titled '100', which refers to a 100-minute jam session the band recorded to tape on June 12, 1989 in Piscataway. The track was composed and performed by Mike, utilizing a Roland TB-303, TR-606, SH-09 and an ARP 2600. A frenetic hybrid of techno and acid with driving EBM style beats, Sideways' weaves intricate industrial noises with synth melodies that drift in and out of phase. On the flip are two fresh remixes by different aliases of prolific Ann Arbor producer Tadd Mullinix. As JTC, he expands the sound palette, adding organ stabs and lush pads, drawing on Detroit deep house and UK garage.The Charles Manier remix features chanted vocals on top of an array of pulsating synths, stark percussion, and post-punky guitar effects. Each song has been carefully remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. The record is sleeved in a replica of the '100' artwork, which designer Eloise Leigh modified using motifs and textures sourced from the original cassette. Also included is an oversized postcard with notes.

Classy super sound house single! Warm and uplifting with a gentle approach - but still with a solid mix and statement on both melody and groove. These two brilliant pop-lenght tunes cut generously on full 45rpm sides are produced by Wada, half of Tase, known from their great Acido and Atelier Records outputs.

After more than a decade of deep, expansive productions on labels such as Detroit Underground and CPU, Annie Hall arrives on MUSAR for a record typically rich in texture and understated grooves.

Opening track 'Linium' immediately seduces listeners with a complex drum pattern that somehow feels spacious, subtly twisting and turning its way around Hall's analogue world. Dutch artist Mattheis maintains this understated feel but adds a soft, compelling kick in response on his suspenseful remix of 'Lavandula'. The original, moodier version of this cut the follows to open the B side, gradually erupting around a killer distorted bassline. The EP continues to hit a more urgent note with the tense machinations of 'Silene', where dense layers of stuttering, frenetic drums interweave with Hall's trademark, melancholy keys. The record concludes on a weightless, transcendent note with 'Santolina', taking each visceral element featured thus far and slowing each down, with affecting results.

Indebted to vintage electro and IDM, Hall's music is no throwback, always looking forward and moving dancefloors in the most unexpected ways.

Metamorphic is happy to announce a new artist to the label family! MirrorTouch is a new project from London-based producer Tim Van Zandyke. The sound of Mirror Touch can best be described by a moment in time when mid 90's trax records from the US Midwest combined techno's brutalist grooves with layers of emotive harmonies harking back to Detroit's funk, soul and jazz legacy. Then techno sound hurtled forward, blazing new paths of experimentation, minimalism and hypnosis. MirrorTouch points back to that magic moment when Techno emerged from Detroit, with a series of hardware tracks that combine emotional rawness with the flow of 21st century techno.

Pink Vinyl

Blake Baxter aka The Prince Of Techno returns to his roots with this six-track 12" of raw Detroit minimalistic grooves.

Fourth release for the young label Slow Bistro Records, created by Slow-L in 2019.
Great EP from the established house producer Laroze (D.KO records / Let's Play House / RTCT). Between classic 90’s house, Balearic and more raw Detroit-influenced tracks.

Chicago Basement Trax flexes its muscles and enlisted the services of one Chicago's Crown jewels of the Underground in the form of one Mr. Jordan Fields. Apparently only deep connections in the scene or a history of teenage friendship yields you access to this sort of Magic on vinyl! Nothing but Pure authentic 1980s + a bonus disco dub! Wow! Surely at this point Chicago Basement Trax is looking to reenforce their mythology while also stating the obvious. No doubt this is the pure uncut raw from the man with the plan himself so let's see who wants to see the Provenance now Want to trip more Rumour has it Vincent Floyd is coming next. Do what needs to be done and get this now.

The Dutch icon Orlando Voorn is releasing a fresh new sound on Deeptrax Records sublabel Contrafact! Having started his career in the early 80s with major influences of Parliament, Kraftwerk, Motown and P funk, he is now widely recognized as an ingenious (Detroit) house and techno producer with former releases on Juan Atkins’ Metroplex records and Kevin Saunderson’s KMS. In “The Master” this album brings something special and is influenced by the deeper sounds of soul and funk. Orlando Voorn has used aliases in the past to present and release various styles of music without limiting himself and is one of the most versatile producers out there. We are proud to team up with Voorn and release this album that captures soulful jazz, funk rhythms and perfectly fused with passionate vocals in a real jazzy Detroit vein.

Mint Condition - A reissue label focused on excavating the outer fringes of classic House and Techno. Unreleased mixes, classics and overlooked gems mined from the last 20+ of contemporary dance music are the order of the day. From Chicago, Detroit and New York to London and beyond, Mint Condition have got their expert digging hats on to bring you exclusive heat and those rarer than rare jams that have been on your wants list for years! Dig in....

1988 - The second 'summer of love' - The UK is in the grip of acid house fever, warehouses, sports halls, basements and nightclubs are reverberating to the new dance sounds emanating from Chicago and Detroit. Unbeknownst to most at the time this halcyon year will go down in the history books as a defining time that will shape the future of dance music. All major cities in the UK had their own scene, their own sound and their own legends. Manchester is one such city, a much storied participant with a legendary musical pedigree. Enter Annette, built around vocalist Annette Dos Reis this was a veritable all-star group featuring Quando Quango's Mike Pickering, A guy called Gerald, A certain ratio's Simon Topping and respected studio face Ritchie Close all on production. 'Dream 17' was the group's first outing on the newly minted DeConstruction label in 1988 and boasted a truly original and fresh spin on the US sounds that were dominating dance-floors at the time, so much so that most people didn't believe the record was created in the UK! Obviously it made perfect sense to draft in Detroit's Derrick May to craft a stellar remix that pushed the record even further into the stratosphere. May's remix wasn't included on the original 12" and was hugely sought after by DJ's and jocks alike. This is the first time all of the mixes of 'Dream 17' have been collected in one place, the complete package of this all time classic, a true old school transatlantic anthem available again for todays dance.

'Dream 17' has been legitimately released with the full involvement of the rights holders and remastered by Bristol's Optimal Mastering from the original DAT tapes especially for this release. 100% legit, licensed and released. Dug, remastered, repackaged and brought to you by the caring folks at Mint Condition!
