House Vinyl New Releases - News

Our ninth record delivers a wonderful sampling of what we call "Bay Area to Berlin". That is, these are all tracks made by friends and family who've moved from California's Bay Area to Berlin.
Within the grooves you'll find timeless cuts by Prof. Delacroix (otherwise known as Deepblak chief Aybee), Lando, Xosar and newcomer Jamaica Suk.
DJ Support from:
Cottam / Tom Findlay / Rivastarr / Funk d'Void / Chris Dukenfield / Orde Meikle and more

Huxley and Jimmy Poster's Saints & Sonnets is building a head of steam with a quick follow up to Jammhot's debut for the imprint last month -
Annie Errez's 'Deeper Knowledge' EP featuring a remix from Mr G.
Annie Errez is a Leeds based Dj Producer who has cut her teeth as resident of the superb System night. As with most quality resident DJs, Errez has a strong understanding of dancefloor
subtlety and her productions alongside Bobby119412 O'Donnell for Resopal have displayed this skill in spades.
For the fifth Saints & Sonnets release, Errez makes her solo production debut and rolls out three original tracks that find their base in stripped-back electronic tones and unerring grooves.
From the trippy yet punchy title track to the blissed out hypnotism of 'Marching' via the lop-sided funk of 'Wait For You', this is a measured and consummate exercise in dancefloor manipulation.
Mr G tackles 'Marching' with his aptly titled 'Strutting Remix' and delivers yet another peerless muscular house groove to add to his always on point remixography.

English producer and DJ Neville Watson will release his debut album on Dutch label Crème Organization in May 2013. Entitled Songs To Elevate Pure Hearts, it sees Watson explore similar ground to that of the EPs he has released on labels like Teng and Clone Jack For Daze dating back a whole decade. Watson, who also set up Windsor's much loved Mighty Atom record store and label, has become synonymous with re-interpreting classic Chicago house sounds in his own heavily analogue way. His productions often deal in an authentic rawness and roughness, whilst as a live specialist he has been much in demand in recent times thanks to boundary nudging outings at clubs around Europe with Bulgarian partner in Crime, KiNK. The album offers eleven tracks, kicking off with the serene 'Dark Star' before immediately getting fractious with the twisted lines and crisp percussion of the title track. Though containing plenty of material for the dancefloor, so too is this a carefully programmed trip that takes you up as well as down, with the likes of 'The Girl From Kowloon Tong' exploring beat-less, melodically intoxicating territory between harder hitting joints like the widescreen, dubby techno of 'Against The Tide' and controlled, machine frenzy of 'Everything I Know About House (I Learnt On Facebook)'. Tracks like 'Axiomatic' prove Watson as adept at crafting occult moods and unusual feelings as he is the more physical beats and classicist stylings of the ode to real house music that is 'Son of House'. Taking you up, down, backwards and forwards through time and space, 'Songs To Elevate Pure Hearts' does exactly what the title suggests, no matter how pure your heart.

Video channel Tape Archive brings tracks on wax for the first time with a three tracker from unknown producer F.T.F. Filling the gap from youtube to vinyl with stomping basses, heavy hihats and power melodies, the EP provide weapons for the dance floor with unique aesthetic. Beware of the ninja waiting for you in the dark.

Mysterious hardware tinkerer Stephan 'STL' Laubner is back with a 3 track + locked groove EP on the London based imprint Mutual Friend Recordings entitled Listen Up! Mind Puzzlin is exactly that with a luscious lead line that will twist your head accomponied by STL's signature rough and overdriven percussion. Smile Function has a more ominous tone with repeated guitar plucks that plant themselves into your consciousness. STL builds the groove expertly whilst retaining an other-worldly feel to the track. Wrong is a real groover with a growling bassline accomponied by weird and wonderful interwoven patterns coaxed out of STL's synths. The locked groove, titled Listen Up! Loop is a nice bonus for the more adventurous DJ out there.

Scott Grooves presents 'The Journey Revisited: This is not just a normal reissue as you would expect coming from Mr. Grooves. The original version has been sonically enhanced and remastered. The b-side now has a kickless mix along with a atmospheric acapella - an updated edition to a now classic Detroit anthem.

Ilija Rudman is quite a unique character. A fact reinforced by listening to some of the records from his vast catalogue, taking a walk through his next level studio or simply talking to him. Preferably, all three at once, as it is often the case. Authenticity is the word that comes to mind when describing the work of this leading Croatian artist or while listening to the material we are proud to put out on 12th Burek release. The record features three cuts. Higher Ground is Rudman's solo effort while the two on the flip are coproduced by Boyd H. Jarvis, an American producer credited to numerous 12" on classic labels such as Trax Records, King Street Sounds, Movin' Records and Dance Tracks (to mention a selected few). Although releases made in a similar fashion tend to sound somewhat unfocused, the result here is exactly the opposite. What we have here is 20 minutes of some of the slickest house music you'll find, sounding so coherent that dissecting it track by track seems pointless. This is a 12" that will feel equally at home in a club or blasting through the speakers of your convertible while driving on the California coast in the summer.

Following the success of volume 1 of their remix series, (featuring Octave One's seminal tracks "Meridian" and "Dema"), the label prepares to release remixes of Octave One's debut, from Derrick May's Transmat imprint, "I Believe" and O1's momumental release from the Underground Resistance/430 West Records limited record "Daystar Rising".

finally repressed!
Turbo Recordings presents the second in a series of club-vanquishing EPs from Duke Dumont.

Following the rapturous reception of his first club-centric EP for Turbo, as well as remixes for Santigold and the forthcoming AlunaGeorge single, UK superproducer Duke Dumont returns to tighten his stranglehold on the worldwide nightgeist with FOR CLUB PLAY ONLY VOL. 2, this time training his sights on the Vocal Anthem heavyweight title.
A-side "No Money Blues" brings UK bass and deep house into the realm of crossover pop, while "The Giver" is an ecstatic vocal house anthem that would fit seamlessly alongside the most uplifting MURK classics. These are probably the two most "feel-good" tracks we will put out all year, but the impeccable level of quality actually lets you "feel good" about "feeling good."
This EP positions Dumont as the versatile international hitmaker we know him to be, establishing a globe-spanning Dukedom to unite us all.

More remixes from Rick WIlhite's Vibes compilation on Rush Hour...This time by Andres & Ricardo Miranda! Killer stuff...

Dogmatik kick start the year with a solid 12" from Steve Mc Cready that includes remixes from Gwen Maze & Kuba Sojka.

Here is a groundbreaking diverse 3-trackers from the G-Man, Gari Romalis, back on Dockside Records. Pure Detroit fuel, mid-house funk injected / mid-straight to the floor unpolished house sound.Feel it, buy it before it's too late.«I made this EP to show that you don't have to have the latest greatest, you just have to use what you got to get what you want out of it. The name Soundvisionary» comes from my love for vinyl and how it sounds. I use that old sound to power my production for the future. You can't go wrong with the basics, the past is the future. Each track on the EP is how I was feeling on that particular day. My tracks are based on feel, if I don't feel it I don't do it.
The mothership has landed.»

Another slice of essential Knuckles / Principle magic, here the duo's love of Italo and Euro pop records seems to collide with Chicago's darkened dance-floors and raw drum machines. Perfectly sleazy and insanely danceable, Jamie Principles voice was made for Frankie Knuckles pristine productions and their unique styles compliment each other endlessly,

Both tracks featured on this 12" take us into the subterranean night life of Frankie and Jamie's world, a world of yearning, heart-break, love and acceptance. A huge pairing of tracks on their initial release and still to this day some 25+ years later, "It's A Cold World / Bad Boy" was a total game changer, almost verging on pop but too "outsider" to gain the mainstream attention it so deserved, the record stands today as a true classic. Truly ahead of it's time.

Re-released for 2015, re-mastered and re-pressed with all the original Trax label artwork present in conjunction with the official rights holders / owners.

Back with yet another killer release and proving why it is impossible to pigeonhole this unstoppable label, Hot Creations welcome you into the utterly mesmerizing world of Freaks with their next huge hit 'Black Shoes White Socks.' This epic single release features impressive remixes from Chicago legend Cajmere and Hot Creation's new recruit wAFF.
The ever evolving and never predictable music venture that is Freaks first materialized as the brainchild of house heroes Luke Solomon and Justin Harris. Having remixed for artists such as Pulp, Damon Albarn and Kasabian and receiving support from a wide selection of artists including Derrick Carter, Damian Lazarus, The Chemical Brothers, Ewan Pearson and Laurent Garnier, there is no doubt that Freaks are a welcomed addition to the Hot Creation's camp. Not to mention they had a top 10 hit in the UK charts in 2007 with 'The Creeps'..
Wonderfully enchanting 'Black Shoes White Socks' oozes the air of a timeless classic, beautifully mystifying with intoxicating vocals and off-kilter Arabian flutes, it showcases immaculate production while perfectly grasping the sound of the new era, edged with popular appeal and disco flare.Up first on remix duty, number one professional Curtis Jones aka Cajmere delivers a dance floor bomb like only he can. This deep groover is pumped with a powerful bass and shoulder shifting clap while an effective play on the vocal is used to maximum effect. Over on the B-side and fresh from his debut EP on the label 'Rainbows', wAFF adds a welcoming dose of techno. This heavy-duty remix is certainly one for peak time, with added vocals submerged in deep, driving energy, this rising star is one to keep a close eye on.

New Dawn Baba Stiltz hails from a tradition of funky outcasts centred around the calm yet unpredictable city of Stockholm, Sweden. Since his infant days he's been guided through the nitty-gritty basics of what it is to be a true music lover by some of the city's most prolific artists, producers and djs. Despite his youth, 20-year-old Baba boasts an impressive discography, with two albums of dreamy folk-pop (as The Betlehem Beard Corporation) and a string of hit singles within the elusive Skweee scene already under his belt. His more recent studio adventures have led to three 12' releases on Stockholm dance label Studio Barnhus as well as recurring production work for post-rap phenomenon Yung Lean. Total is Baba's debut album under his own name and his finest work to date. From the opening machine-funk arpeggio of Missing to the sanguine melancholia of closing hiphop beat Discovery - New Dawn, Baba's masterpiece rides through psychedelic screw-pop, minimalistic emo-acid and opiate-drenched coming-of-age-ambient.

Delsin are proud to present, Sides of Space, a collection of classic, lost and forgotten tracks from atmospheric techno producer D5. The 12 track, triple vinyl affair will land in November in both regular and limited edition forms. D5 has released a number of fine EPs on Delsin that date back to the turn of the millennium, as well as a fine full length in 2002 entitled 'Alien Artform'. The tracks on this new compilation have been chosen from old CDRs by label boss Marsel and truly reflect the artist formerly known as Dimensions 5's fine tradition of relaxing chilled out, Detroit influenced techno. His most classic track, 'Floatation Tank' (which was a standout from the 2005 Panet Delsin compilation) as well as all cuts from the sought after Neutrino EP, are included here, and still sound as good now as they ever did. In all there are seven previously released tracks as well as five brand new, never before heard cuts, and they all make for absorbing listening both in the club, on headphones or from the sofa.

Garrett David and Adam Rowe return to Stripped & Chewed with an accomplished new EP, "Now That We Are Here, Where Are We". Also known as the Bell Boys, the pair were last seen on a funky electro 7" for Star Creature following 2013's "Hotel Garma EP" for Discovery Recordings. This new five track record finds the Chicago-based duo making major strides forward in their already rather mature sound, fusing razor-sharp rhythms with plush melodies informed by deep knowledge of house music history -- no surprise from two buyers for Chicago institution Gramaphone Records.
Listeners ease into proceedings with "Sound Space", dappled by hand drum loops and engulfed in warm bass notes that help piano stabs and cooed vocals hit pleasure centers with accuracy and glee. "Full Mood" continues in this vein but is even more pointed, firing off Prescription-strength stabs and expert level hi-hat work into gooey melodies. The A side closes with the weightless ambience of "Space Jam", shimmering like sun cracking the horizon.
Side B offers two versions of floor-filler "Summit", which epitomize David and Rowe's aesthetic and production methods. The "Smoov Mix" pairs twitchy, relentless drum programming and a brisk, walking bass line with triumphant synth lines for a propulsive but lighthearted tune. The "Smashed Mix" has harder edges and more quirks, like squirrelly synth squiggles and an ascending synth line that could part the darkest clouds.
"Now That We Are Here, Where Are We" is a stunning start to 2016 from Garrett David and Adam Rowe as well as Stripped & Chewed. - Steve Mizek

Chicago's Smart Bar launches it's long-rumored imprint w/SB resident Ike Release. Dreamy Chicago deep house f/his own brand of percussive hypnotic grooves, & relentless passionate, hooks.

Luke Hess' Dimension.D EP is the 5th release on his own DeepLabs Detroit imprint. The title track Dimension.D is a perfect balance between house and techno, and it contains all the right signals for becoming a future Detroit classic. Dimension.D creates the frenzy of a dance floor filler with robotic vocals, raw Detroit stabs, and funky-tweaky percussion grooves. The Dimension.D VOX Reshape is a loose and beat-less version of the title track with a focus on the robotic vocal surrounded by tape processing and the introduction of new analog elements. Mission.106 takes up the entire B-side of the record and is a dark melodic Detroit techno gem, reminiscent of classic mid-90's Detroit warehouse music and suitable for heavy rotation on all serious sound systems.

Vince Watson is next up on the Amsterdam based label Indigo Aera with a collection of tracks from his peerless archives. All were produced in the late 90s and early 00s and two have been previously released under his V-Phorms alias on the British Native label, but four others are never before heard gems. Scotsman Watson, of course, has been releasing tough house, acid and techno under many different names since the 90s. Currently releasing on Planet E, Poker Flat, Cocoon, Ovum and Yoruba and has recorded for Delsin and Tresor in the past. He has constantly evolved his sound so that he has tried, and succeeded, at making just about everything. Here he serves up some classic hi tek soul.

The Long awaited release of My Life With The Wave Vol 2 is here. Mike Huckaby is finally ready to take you on another journey of skillful sound programming using the legendary Waldorf Wave Synthesizer. Yes, this is Volume 2 of My Life With The Wave. 4 tracks of strictly deep house music made entirely from the Wave. Enjoy another experience of music made exclusively with this synthesizer, The Waldorf Wave.

Finally Repressed!
Thirteen years ago the Nurture label released Upekah, the one and only single to come under the son.sine alias.
It's an alias of New Zealander Leyton Glen who released only a select few EPs under different monikers, and one that sounds as good today as it did back then given all its dub infused techno glory. It's always been hard to come buy but now Delsin are remastering and rereleasing it into the world once more.

First up is the title track, a double deep track of spacious, gently pulsing dub that initially revels in blissfully ambient swirls before growing a touch more edgy and metallic in the latter half thanks to some panning steel stabs.

On the flip, 'Karuna' is just as deep and cavernous. Filling the huge chambers of echo and reverb are more ambient patterns, subtle beams of light and an ever churning, grainy dub undercurrent. Lastly, 'Mudita' is more propulsive and up right, with hunched drums rotating below and rueful ambient drones up top. Classy business indeed from the New Zealander.

After a few years silence we are happy to announce a brand new release by Visitors Records, The Hague. ''Walking Machine'' is a new production by Italian new wave band State Of Art (Fred Ventura, Stefano Mazzola, Stefano Tirone), active in the early eighties and reborn in 2009 after the release of

Congratulations you have successfully unlocked your Fire Chakra!! Ekranoplan

With Bluntman round the corner, the wicked mistress of the sea rears her head with the lowest subs heard in the depths of the Caspian sea...we present to you, Ekranoplan...

'Just as the Scotch fear the Loch Ness monster, the coastal folk of the Caspian have long lived in the shadow of this great colossus. A mythical aircraft of gargantuan proportions, the Ekranoplan now lies at rest amid the discarded rubble of the Soviet dream. This EP paints a more gentle, playful picture of the monster and it's mysterious aeronauts.'.

New York, early 90's, the haydays of the New York and Jersey clubhouse! With labels such as NuGroove, Nervous, Freeze, Strictly Rhythm, Henry Street Music taking all the spot light, there is Jovonn working on a small but sensational catalogue of music that somehow gets overshadowed by the popular releases on the mentioned labels. The honest productions, jazzy melodies and playful vocals (rooted in gospel) were taking things into a more musical, more spiritual way, lacking gimmicks or dispensable samples. For the real diggers, the true lovers of House music Jovonn always was a name to watch, a producer of some of their favorite NY house tracks, tracks that have a raw edge combined with a sincere human touch and pure underground house vibes. People such as Rex resident Dj Deep was a huge fan, and also collaborated on couple later productions with Jovonn. Slowly he started getting recognition from europe which resulted in a handfull of records on European labels such as Distance, Coco Soul and Estereo. Now after almost 25 years since his first release the man's small discography on his own Goldtone label and Emotive records stand out with his unique musical personality. More then 20 years after their original release dates these tunes are still very relevant and stand for many things we love about house music! We are happy to offer this selection of his hard to find early works remastered by Alden Tyrell and pressed on fresh clean high quality vinyl.

Mihai Popoviciu joined the team for the fifth vinyl release of the Popcorn Records' fabric. From Sibiu, Romania, Mihai is known and respected as a major producer, being part of the Highgrade family, and freshly signed on Poker Flat Recordings.

We begin this record with Sortable, evolving with a deep vibe around a subtle patch that conveys you in weightlessness. The whole theme is sprinkled with a synth that unconsciously reminds you the cue of a famous pink comic of your childhood... D'Julz (Bass Culture, Circus Company) have been seduced by this original track, and gave us a great rework by using all the elements in a total different way, focusing on the drum's effects.

On the B face, Blur close this records with melodic patches and slight strings flying around a deep bass for a perfect summer result.

Yay has chosen to entrust the second release to one of the best producers, indeed the composer, Titonton Duvanté.

The house and techno sounds blend perfectly in Titonton style.

Only vinyl!
Providing good vibes!

Magic Mountain High bring it hard with four tracks of dancefloor madness- catch a vibe by hitting the clips and staring into that beautiful artwork! BIG TIP!

124Recordings return for their final release for 2013,the follow up to the original 'Undeground Frequencies' EP that helped establish the label back in December.Again it features four producers covering all bases of house music.First up and needing no introduction is well respected producer James Johnston with the solid percussive drive of 'Dont Need U' underpinned by a huge reversed bassline,punchy chords and hypnotic female vocal.Next is rising talent Liam Geddes who takes things deeper with 'Besoin D'Amour' with its soothing spoken vocal ,delicate pads complete with depth charge sub and twisted horn sample.Third is the pairing of two producers/label owners,Tom Lynch from WeCtrl/Development Music and Eddie Leader of Hudd Traxx.Here 'Mrs Saturday Night' slowly builds with delicate layers of bubbling synth before a sublime breakdown takes the track into a completely different direction.Finally but by no means least is Banjax with 'Smoked' a real throwback to the warehouse days with its shuddering bass leading into bouncy chords and heavy 909 percussion.

More than 25 years after releasing his debut single and dancefloor anthem 'Tears' Satoshi Tomiie is set to release his second album in May. This legendary collaboration with Frankie Knuckles, that's now considered as one of house music's most important moments, was only the start of an exciting career. Satoshi Tomiie has been at the forefront of the global house music movement ever since. He released on a variety of labels going from Strictly Rhythm to Sony, toured with the Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto of Yellow Magic Orchestra Fame, worked with artists like Robert Owens, remixed many pop inclined tracks and been praised for his Renaissance compilation in their Master Series. All of this while creating artistic challenges for himself to avoid stepping into a pattern and repeating himself, and keeping up constant global DJ schedule. Satoshi Tomiie, a lifelong student of jazz and classical piano, has always succeeded in adding an extra dimension into his music, and his sophomore album is no exception. While listening to 'New Day' it is immediately clear the accomplished musician has re-invented himself once again.The overall sound of the album is crisp, fresh and ingenious without losing its allure. While some tracks are reminiscent of his early work, others surprise in their richness and complexity. The album starts off with ‚Last Night', a generous intro that leads us to ‚Landscape' and ‚Oddyssey' during which the producer shows us a more undulate timbre. The title track features John Schmersal, a touring member of the Caribou band and is the prelude to the deeper part of the album.

Dutch contingent 'Dilated Pupils' provide the beats on FOF's vinyl only offshoot label. Part 1 of 2.

Already heard on one of Theo Parrish incredible mix cd's friendly children' combines his trademark blunt 4/4 bass-drum with a stripped down afro groove, sparse latin piano chords, a children chorus and joyful flute licks before changing the atmosphere halfway through: atmospheric string chords and imaginative, lyrical piano improvisation take the lead for a beautiful, contemplative ending. the b-side cut starts out as a slow motion 4/4 beat with dark, horn loops contrasted by sharp metallic, industrial sounds - during the break Theo Parrish introduces a female vocal loop, throws in more energetic, harder punching beats and lightens up the atmosphere with symphonic big-band jazz samples. another adventure in sound by one of the few unqiue heads in electronic music.

The Amsterdam newcomers 'Nothing Else Matters Ep' features a crackin' deep and soulful sound, Heavy Bass lines and funky beats on the originals. The Massive 'Morning Factory' Remix was a big hit for the label when this release originally dropped early 2012 only digital. In this special vinyl version you will also find the excellent remix Detroit Swindle did for Elef's 'Keep it Physical' as a bonus track.
