House Vinyl New Releases - News

Stellar deep dub techno from Detroit's Sly Fox Crew!

Having featured international house heavyweights Kez YM and Andres on their previous release it's no surprise that the 'Late Night Blue Sound' EP was a monumental success with demand outweighing supply and a repress sought. However, as at the forefront of the house revival City Fly continue their quest in discovering and nurturing hidden house talent...
So for their seventh release City Fly are proud to present Bartellow aka Benedikt Brachtel. Hailing from Munich, Benedikt was educated in classical composition and has worked as a film soundtrack producer. Having found a kindred spirit in the form of fellow Munich-based producer Amos, the duo formed successful avant-garde electronic pop act 'Columbus' awash with analog synth stylings, infectious pop melodies and neo-futurism.
However, it's under his 'Bartellow' alias which has seen him gain further recognition as a visionary virtuoso. Initially appearing on Michel Baumann's (Soulphiction) revered Philpot label with partner in crime Roman Rauch, he has since gained the attention of influential tastemakers such as Gilles Peterson and Rainer Truby with his 'The Bartellow Thrill' EP. Last year proved just as productive too with a release on City Fly favourite Red Rack 'Em's 'Smuggler's Inn' imprint, a remix for Philly marvel King Britt and two releases on his own conceptual 'SVS Records' featuring the cream of Munich's mercurial production wunderkids .
Always on the lookout to showcase those left in the shadows, it looks like City Fly have unearthed another raw diamond in the form of Bartellow...

HUMMING BIRDS

Kicking off the EP is the title track 'Hummingbirds'. Starting off with stuttering hi-hats skipping over a kick-drum a la Theo, it's not long before synths and a bouncy, syncopated bassline drop in to add more depth. A dusty de rigeur male soul vox singing 'hummingbirds' then glides in, hovering over the bass and juxtaposing against the building complex instrumentation effortlessly. Add to this an arresting, ethereal breakdown with a dream-like yearning female larynx and you have all the ingredients for an inimitable style and distinctive flavour that's synonymous with Bartellow's productions - definitely one to take the dancefloor in a different direction...

HUMMING BIRDS (UGLY DRUMS ACID DUB)

Having been on their radar for some time, City Fly have finally snared producer du jour Ugly Drums to contribute to the label with a remix. The cologne native's inimitable production style has seen him appear on a diverse array of prestigious house labels such as Rush Hour, Freerange, Kolour, Black Key, and Fifty Fathoms Deep - not to mention his debut 'Saturn Memories' LP on the discernible Quintessentials imprint - and with an upcoming guest spot at City Fly's renowned club night, it was only a matter of time and natural progression that he would feature on their next release. On to the remix and as the title implies, Ugly Drums adds some Chi-town flavour in giving some acid-induced indigestion complete with 303 squelches, handclaps and cowbell that wouldn't sound outta place on an old, battered Trax record. Add some eerie synths and warbling vocal and you've got a typically idiosyncratic take on house that only Ugly Drums can concoct - from Cologne via Chicago...

RAW MATERIA

Commencing with a heavy, thumping bass and jittery hi-hats, as the title 'Raw Materia' suggests one begins to feel that the track is of a more basic, rawer ilk. However it's not long before warm, swirling synths interject adding a dose of more depth and dimension - intertwining effortlessly against the raw elements. Relentlessly building, the track culminates into an arresting crescendo with the synths going into overdrive and infiltrating the uncompromising bass. Like on this occasion sometimes less is more - time to get back to the raw...

RAW MATERIAL (FRED P RESHAPE)

Not content with just one remix, City Fly have enlisted the transatlantic touch of deep house deity Fred P to add further gravitas to the EP. Though a veteran of the scene, it wasn't until he started releasing tracks on his Soul People imprint under his 'Black Jazz Consortium' alias that heads took notice with his deep and transcendent productions. Along with fellow New York Natives such as Levon Vincent, DJ Qu, Joey Anderson and Anthony Parasole, he was a major player in helping revitalise the NY house scene and has since released on esteemed labels such as Undergound Quality, Strength Music, Esperanza, Mule Electronic, Finale Sessions and The Corner - also remixing the likes of peers such as Nina Kraviz, DJ Qu, Basic Soul Unit and Lady Blaktronica. With this particular reshape it's another soul-charged ethereal excursion full of depth and emotion - one to submerge the dancers into a dream state...

After the great release from label owner "Samann", Traxx Underground is proud to serve you a name that all of you will know for sure "NY's Finest" a guy from New York who did many releases in the 90's with different alias (Victor Simonelli, Cloud 9, Groove Committee ect) one track among the strongest "Do You Feel Me". Back now after 20 years with these three sensational tracks!

Die Roh are the legendary dj Octopus (Enlightened Wax/Hypercolour) and the mighty Sagat (boss of Noho Records). For the fourth release of Muscle Records they have hosted in the Brenta Studios a southern talented musician known as Okee Ru (Enetrbt/ Deependence). The fruit of their occasional encounters are 3 craggy dancefloor cuts of disco infected technoid shuffled 808 beats and quirky samples; together they have blended old-school uncouthness with modern lechery. Their dissolute country fellow Lucretio (Restoration/Machines State) has delivered a methane-fuelled remix of "Non è la Rai", adding illicit 90s happiness to the original beats. A remix that could easily cross-refer to his hard-to-find tunes on Warm Sounds..

One of the UK's most established and consistent deep house producers, Jimpster, is due to drop his eagerly anticipated Porchlight And Rocking Chairs LP on 20th May 2013. His first studio album in six years sees him continue where he left off on the 2006 masterpiece Amour by taking the blueprint of House music and infusing it with an attention to detail and musicality often lacking in much of today's more disposable dance music.
As Jimpster himself admits, much of the inspiration for Porchlight And Rocking Chairs came from the countless hours spent exhausted or hungover in airport lounges on the way back from gigs. It's during this early morning never never land that he would seek solace in his ipod or start creating tracks on his laptop. Anything too challenging or abstract would be an irritation. Anything too ambient could sedate to the point of missing flights. So normally it would be the kind of lo-slung, emotive, deep shit with enough groove to get into but also just the right amount of warmth and soul to keep spirits lifted in those tiring, and often solitary hours.
On returning to his studio we see Jimpster lean heavily on his hardware synths and drum machines, rediscovering their quirks and foibles after too many years working with convenient but sometimes sterile plugins. This hands on approach runs right through tracks such as Brought To Bare, featuring the vocals of Jonatan Bäckelie, where a simple, sparse and honest quality help make this one of the LP's highlights. Hold My Hand or Rollergirl show off Jimpster's innate talent for dubbed out, late-night deep house whilst elsewhere we find more raw and bass heavy downtempo tracks such as Cracks In the Pavement and The Glowing Embers. A true journey from start to finish, the LP draws to a close with an alternate LP version of Jimpster's recent single These Times featuring Beauty Room vocalist Jinadu. Here we see the producer incorporating acoustic guitar for the first time ever on a glitchy yet beautiful reworking of this future classic, making a fitting close to a fresh and forward-looking album from a long-standing yet still completely relevant artist.

After her incredible Changes EP on Crosstown Rebels earlier this year, new lady of house Francesca Lombardo continues to impress this time through the Rebellion arm of the enterprise with her Eyes of Nature EP.
'Eyes' is first up and opens with a slick percussive grove characterised by lots of organic elements coalescing to paint a mesmerising, ritualistic picture. Bells, shakers and cymbals rattle and echo while deep haunting synths climb and fall to create a real sense of drama. Francesca utilises her vocal training to devastating effect intermittently throughout the track, panning her own heavily FX'd vocals across the mix further adding to the suspense.
On the flip and Julien Riachi's vocal and a tabla drum riff set the tone on 'Wander and Wonder' before an ever returning woodblock melody signals the arrival of a killer baseline which takes the track straight to the dance floor. Exquisite production skills ensure that sonically and elementally the track is constantly going somewhere, whilst Lombardo's classically trained ear ensures that she can effortlessly make perfect musical sense of all the different parts within her tracks.

After a successful launch with tracks from Citizen and Ejeca, Loft Records returns with its
second single this March, entitled 'Ghana' by Dorsia, and backed with reworks from HNNY, Jay Shepheard and Roberto Rodriguez.
Dorsia is the collaborative guise of British duo Adam Reid and Andy Watson, both artists have been producing individually for quite some time, but have now joined forces and are set to release their debut single via Loft Records here. The pair create melodic, understated electronic music tipped towards the dance floor. Although newcomers under this title, working with such a promising young label and following the footsteps of Ejeca and Citizen, Dorsia are certainly ones to watch in 2014.
The original mix of 'Ghana' opens the single, a gritty, low-slung house number driven by raw analogue bass, crunchy rhythms, smoothly programmed reverb soaked vocal lines and tension building atmospherics to kick off the package in style. Let's Play House / Local Talk artist HNNY steps in first on remix duties next, reshaping the vibe entirely to generate a stunningly contrasting interpretation. The Swedish producer opts for ever-evolving saw wave bass, rugged drums, meandering melodies and a subtly blossoming dynamism to create a truly classy rework.
Then on the latter half of the 12'' we have two additional remixes of 'Ghana', first up is the ever onpoint Compost artist Jay Shepheard, who turns in a dubbed out house reshape, fuelled by stabbing bass hits, tension building strings and swirling echoes. While closing the package is Roberto Rodriguez, the Finnish artist delivers a stripped back version, which tips the focus solely towards the groove with bumpy bass tones and heavily swinging rhythms driving the track throughout.

Hot and 'clean' new album from JJ&J...TIP!
Two years after the artistic statement that was their expansive third LP, famed live act and hardware lovers Juju & Jordash are releasing another full-length on Dekmantel. Clean-cut, a nine-track affair, comes lovingly pressed to vinyl in autumn 2014.

The duo fully embrace the album format, creating a tight tapestry of emotive and danceable sound that reveals more detail and depth with each new listen. Textures range from organic and lush to synthetic and arresting. Deep-space serenity gets juxtaposed with more urgent and alien paranoia.

"Clean-cut is tighter, more honest and there's less hiding behind a hazy screen of FX," say the pair.

The new release marks a clear evolution in the career of these singular artists. Clearly, Clean-cut is another feather in the already resplendent bow of Juju & Jordash.

Juju & Jordash have a longstanding and tight relationship with the Amsterdam based record label and event powerhouse Dekmantel. Juju & Jordash are a staple on Dekmantel clubnights and festivals. This is their third full-length on Dekmantel, a further consolidation of their 5 year bond.

Dekmantel won the minds and hearts of electronic music enthousiasts throughout the world with their record label and club nights over the past 7 years. Dekmantel Festival -which saw its first edition in 2013- has seen unanimously glowing reviews for two years in a row now, further affirming the path Dekmantel chose to be the right one.

Darkstar announce a remix 12" featuring two remixes by the band themselves and a remix from the mighty Motor City Drum Ensemble

Boston Bun is back for 2015 with Just for Freaks, which is part 1 of a series of three EPs dedicated to unrestrained underground clubbing.

JUST FOR FREAKS 1 stays in the Chicago house revival that Boston Bun established these past 2 years. The right balance between deep and ghetto music.

A-side " PLEASURE " is a track that you can play very late in the darkest clubs. It drives us with unpitched voices and unleashed TR which succeed to a cut-up bass.

B-side " LEVITATE " flirts with lovely strummed music, almost nostalgic, interrupted by an harmonious and bouncy bassline. The lyric "You wanna play house some more" sounds like the anthem of a neverending party.

Kid Sublime's protégé J.A.N. drops his brand new debut 12''.
Amsterdam based J.A.N. got inspired by local DJ's in the Amsterdam nightlife scene at early age. Soon he started DJ'ing, and hooked up with fellow 'Amsterdammer' and DJ/producer Kid Sublime, who showed him the ropes of rocking a sampler. J.A.N. quickly caught the virus and invested in his own digital equipment, started digging for samples, and thereby widening his musical spectrum.

When Kid introduced J.A.N. to house music, he quickly felt drawn to the warm, deep sounds of the Detroit house scene. He describes his fusion style as B-Boy House, and incorporated this right back into his DJ sets.

Kid Sublime: 'Yess! I am very proud my main man J.A.N. is finally dropping his 1st ever 12'...nice basement B-Boy House music...deep and soulful..a very promissing future lies ahead for this youngbuck!'

'For the fans of that Amsterdam/Detroit sound, think the early works of Aardvarck/Rick Wade and you won't be disappointed!'

With more than 150 releases and many of them considered classics by now we're really proud to welcome Frédéric Blais aka Fred Everything to the ever growing Local Talk family.
The atmospheric deep house builder Brothers & Sisters comes in two different versions and is everything we could wish for, deep, punchy and masterfully produced house music, sounding right at home on Local Talk.
The PM Atlantic version will do the work for the early sets and AM Pacific is the perfect end of the nighter.
Finishing off is Legacy, a track where groove and dedication is the keywords, a guaranteed weapon in any DJ´s bag in the coming months.
All in all, three tracks of the kind of nuanced deep house we've come to expect from the brilliant Fred Everything.
Local Talk is talking to you!

Limited to 300 copies only !

'Treat Me Right', the third album from Trus'me, featured plenty of modern club anthems and was lauded by a gamut of the most respected DJs around, including Ben Klock, Guy Gerber, Tini and Maya Jane Coles. Reflecting the Trus'me musical palette and chosen by him for this very reason, Prime Numbers has now put together an undoubtedly excellent collection of seven remixes by a stellar cast of friends and collaborators.

From the U.S with Luke Hess & Truncate to Sweden with Skudge via the U.K with Truss & Alan Fitzpatrick, France with Marcelus and Germany with Roman Flugel, together these remixers make up an impressive team from the forefront of Techno and House including both bonafide veterans and the vibrant new school talents alike.
With remixes on Prime Numbers, the label always ask the producers to wholly reinterpret the tracks and that's what has happened here to devastating effect, with each artist bringing their distinctive style to the table and providing radically fresh tracks rather than just basic revamps.

In inimitable style, Skudge mould 'Moonlight Kiss' into a deep analogue roller. They maintain the chopped vocal hook and the dreamlike feel of the original but drive the tempo with crackling snares and thunderous kicks. Marcelus brings the pain to 'Hindsight' stripping the piece right back to the bare essentials. His rework fizzes and pops itself into the darkness whilst the bass and keys ride out a mesmeric and hypnotic groove.

Both Alan Fitzpatrick & Luke Hess put their touch to 'I Want You'.
The Deeplab Detroit master Luke Hess turns out in much the same vein as his releases on FXHE and Planet E working the original into a subtler, more spacious groove. Whilst Fitzpatrick pumps the track with iron & steroids rocking some seriously insistent action for the wide-eyed, this is most certainly one for the top of the night and has all the right anthemic ingredients.

Truss toughens up 'Defunct', simplifying the track and giving it more friction for the dance floor. 'It's Slow' gets treated twice to Truncate's vision. Mix 1 is all minimal pumping Dance Mania type moves whilst Mix 2 is a nod to Todd Terry dubs with percolated bass and frayed keys.
Roman Flugel heightens the tension of the now classic 'Somebody' building the groove expertly with delay and a perfect flow very much in the style of his fantastic Jack For Daze release last year.

This limited triple vinyl release comes in a bespoke wide spine sleeve and includes a bonus CD featuring a selection of the remixes plus a few handpicked tracks from recent Prime Numbers vinyl releases including Fred P, Mosca, XDB & Adesse.

Veteran NYC synth master Gavin Russom joins L.I.E.S. with an outstanding three track ep. ...
Epic, tense, and driving Russom goes for the throat crafting beautifully produced functional club tracks that teeter on the edge of the deepest psychedelic realm. With hints of many different electronic strains creeping into his productions, we get the full specturm and see this talented producer doing some of his best work in recent times, the hidden gem being the b-side's closing track, The Telstar File.

180g Vinyl Music by Nicolas Jaar, Words by Thomas Kendricks
Nicolas Jaar has shared a new track from Chicago ghetto house/juke veteran DJ Slugo. It's called 'Ghetto", and it was produced by Jaar. That's it above via Other People. According to Jaar, it was made 'in light of recent events".

Special dub version of Mandingo's original track, 'Another Night on Earth." This is an extended alternate version of the original which appears on BC009_909 - Modern Underground V.3. It sounds like a spaced out house groove with some Chicago style stabs, Jamaica style rubs and Detroit style chords. This is a strictly limited one-sided 12' release.

Plus sized house hitmaker DJ Sneak has knocked together his second release for Exploited Records, laying down some serious swing on 3 club tracks which are destined to make dance floors sweat this summer, from Ibiza to points beyond. With Sneak's infamous grill and barbecue sessions in mind the "Night Dish EP" is a proper Doner Kebab and Satay Meal after a heavy night out in Berlin. Featuring artwork by Berlin-based street artist Nomad.

After a 12 year break the UK Techno label Solid Groove is back.
Kicking off with a collaboration with New York artist and Metroplex label manager Kimyon Huggins.


A1: Track one Sandy is a Detroit influenced track with noises recorded live by the man himself from hurricane sandy.
A2: Aubreys windy city remix is a more peacetime mix of the original with twists and turns and a dark groove throughout.
B1: Aubrey-Dust storm salsa, is a atmospheric journey with a hypnotic groove and has been tested at Panorama bar at peak time by various DJ's to great success.
B2: Kimyon's remix, taking a more dance floor feel with harder beats and driving metallic sounds.

Roma meets Running Back. Final Frontier/Pigna/Nature bossman, terrific producer, Italian true school Techno ledge and celebrated pasta boy Marco Passarani delivers new original material since his brilliant Statostasi EP.

Francis Inferno Orchestra is a name you may already be familiar with. The relatively young stargazer has been straddling the cosmic yet-invisible line of disco meets house with a string of tight knitted, warm productions across Kolour Recordings, Join the Dots, Under The Shade, Wolf Music, and Voyeurhythm to name a few.

Always surprising us with their A&R skills, Hot Creations are back with another outstanding release, this time from rising star Greg Pidock, who is soon to release his debut album on the label. 'Blame Game' is fresh and beautifully crafted with deep vocals and warm melodies, building effortlessly into sonic bliss. On remix duty, Minus favourite Hobo picks up the pace to deliver two on point reworks aimed steadily at the dance floor.

A formally trained artist, Greg received his BFA in Intermedia & Cyberarts when he was 20. Introduced to Jamie Jones and Lee Foss in 2012, Pidcock was quickly signed to the label and has spent the last year working on his debut album. Studying in Montreal he soon became the Creative Director at Montreal's legendary Cherry nightclub, DJing alongside legends. This led to the formation of Bad Pony Records with Tone Depth of Bedrock fame - a process, which firmly cemented his goals of creating music and art. Currently the resident DJ at the renowned Velvet Nightclub in Montreal and working with Turkish composer, Mercan Dede, as a sound engineer, Greg Pidcock is about to explode onto the international scene with his blend of passionate, sexy, heavy house.

Member of the Minus family since 2007, Joel Boychuk aka Hobo very much holds his own identity. With an early Detroit influence he has explored his own form of techno expressionism: sometimes dark and abstract, others more sample heavy and groove based. With a lot of time spent on his recently released album 'Iron Triangle', Hobo now plans to focus on DJing after being an almost exclusively live performer for 6 years. Both original and remix have been featured heavily in Jamie's recent sets..

2012 sees Detroit label, KMS Records, celebrating it's 25th Anniversary.

Founded in 1987, by Kevin Maurice Saunderson, his first release was 'Triangle Of Love' produced by, 'Kreem', (just one of his many guises), little did Saunderson know, at that time, that two and a half decades later, he would still be releasing music on his KMS label.

Let's go back to the beginning... Born in Brooklyn in 1964, Saunderson moved to the picturesque Detroit suburb of Belleville, when he was nine, a different world to the urban decay of the city itself.

Saunderson has an enviable dual reputation. To the dance cognoscenti he's one of the 'Belleville Three,' (with Saunderson being the 'Elevator', Juan Aktkins being the 'Originator' and Derrick May being the 'Innovator'), the trio of friends invented Detroit Techno.

The trio met at Belleville High School where, Saunderson befriended Juan Atkins and Derrick May, who introduced him to the eclectic post-disco playlists of Detroit radio DJ Charles 'The Electrifying Mojo' Johnson. ' Johnson played disco, funk, Prince, Parliament/Funkadelic, Kraftwerk, the B52's and Tangerine Dream, to name just a few. Saunderson already had a serious love for music, but he didn't realise he was going to produce music, until then.

In his first year at East Michigan University, where he studied telecommunications, he gave up football to become a DJ himself. He took inspiration from visits to Larry Levan's Paradise Garage in New York and Frankie Knuckles' Warehouse and Music Box in Chicago. Saunderson, Atkins and May, played at campus parties, until setting up their own club in Detroit, the fabled Music Institute.

Of the 'Belleville Three' Atkins was the first to make a record, with electro group Cybotron's 'Alleys of Your Mind' in 1981, then May, with Rhythim is Rhythim's 'Nude Photo' in 1987. Inspired by his friends, Saunderson bought some basic equipment and made his own debut in 1987 with 'Triangle Of Love'. 'I just had a good ear and a good heart for music,' he says. 'Juan Atkins led me into DJing which led me into making extra beats to play in my set. Then I started learning how to play basslines, putting a lot of work in, just elevating it from there'

Undeniably, Saunderson is a gifted producer (going under guises such as Reese, E-Dancer, Tronikhouse and Reese Project), remixer and a tireless international DJ. To lovers of great pop music he's also one third of Inner City, who made regular visits to the Top 20 in the late 80s with jubilant hits like 'Big Fun' and 'Good Life', paving the way for hundreds of underground-to-chart crossover records to come.

On a visit to England in 1988 Saunderson realised that a mythology had built up around the 'Belleville Three'. To his even greater surprise, 'Big Fun' became not just a massive club record but a pop hit. He also helped to revolutionise remixing when he worked on 'We Know It' by Wee Papa Girl Rappers. Over the following decade Saunderson would continue to produce imaginative remixes for the likes of New Order, Pet Shop Boys, The Shamen, Paula Abdul and the Lighthouse Family.

Even whilst travelling the globe, djing or touring with Inner City, Saunderson continued to produce and release not only his own tracks on his KMS label (with tracks such as 'The Sound' by Reese, 'Rock To The Beat' by Reese, 'Truth Of Self Evident' by Reese & Santonio, 'Let's, Let's, Let's, Let's Dance' by Keynotes and 'Colour Of Love' by The Reese Project), but he also released tracks by other up and coming artists, releasing classic underground gems, such as 'Flash' by Fix, 'Can You Feel It' by Chez Damier, 'Soundscape' by Kosmic Messenger, 'Definition Of Love' by Kaos and 'Use Me' by R-Tyme. The list is endless.

Fast forward to 2012 and it's hard to believe that KMS is still releasing records. With such a long history, what better way to celebrate than to release a special CD Boxset. The 'KMS 25th Anniversary Classics' will be released on CD, Digital (and for those vinyl collectors, there will be 6 x 12' Samplers). Each format includes a plethora of gems which have been released on KMS over the last 25 years.

KMS may be celebrating it's 25th Anniversary, but there's no slowing down for Kevin Saunderson. He's still producing, remixing and djing (all over the world). Here's to the next 25 years....

Onur Engin's latest 12" brings four unique & lovingly crafted edits of another carefully picked dusted-off classics. No-digital, vinyl only.

Keita Sano is from Okayama, Japan. He discovered Mister Saturday Night in the vinyl bins of his local record shop, which inspired him to make and send us these three tunes. We're happy to present them to you.

Collecting Orders For A Repress! Helium Robots is Ewan Wilmott. Up until now with only two (albeit brilliant!) Dissident releases under his belt - and an album on the horizon - he might have been under most people's radar.

After the trippy translations of the Helium Robot space trip called 'Jarza", Theo Parrish's second and very welcomed visit to Running Back is all new material - almost. 'Black Mist' in its extended version is just that: an extended take of the already released version on the rare-as-hens'-teeth 'Sketches' pack. Cut on 45, it's a hard punch in the gut. Techno-not-techno-house-not-house Parrish power. Previously unreleased and no less persuasive are 'Pop Off' and 'Wild Out". While the first one centers around an endless piano and sucks you into the corny, but magic of repetition, the second one sounds like a Theo Parrish demo for Dance Mania after he came back from listening to Lil Louis at the Bismark Pavilion. Mosh pit music. - 'Limited pressing in full printed sleeves".

What started with an anonymous CD handed out in a dark club to Serafin, found its way via Marcus Worgull to a mesmerized and raving Running Back office.

S3A, Rhythm&Soul, Cecil, Adepte on Slow Town's 6th release! Four cuts that goes from the sexy garage touch of Rhythm&Soul's Say U Will, the amazingly organic funk touch of What I Dreamt from the parisien golden boy S3A to the aggressive naughty groove of the Cecil or the bizarre uptempo beats of hidden treasure from Paris, the new comer, Adepte.

Hitting a particularly fertile patch with his music, A Sagittariun continues to ride the night skies with some heavy doses of cosmically sprinkled techno and kinetic electronica. 'Aruba (Overhead Mix)' is a seductive jam of Nuyorican (tech) soul, cloaked in warm synths with a breathy, human quality and deft melodies to ensure a smooth takeoff for the passengers. Lead cut on the vinyl is 'The Code Breaker', channeling some enchanting techno moods and themes on a no gimmicks, no cheap thrills, head & foot stomper, whilst 'Triangulum' prefers a mechanical rhythm of robotic tech funk, syrupy melodies and acidic motifs to deliver a dance in outer space.

Nach Marco returns to Ovum to kick off 2015! Nach Marco returns to ovum with Warm Trax Vol 1. Nacho debuted on Ovum with his 2013 release 'Ghosts' EP. The EP received critical acclaim and found it way into the box of a diverse group of DJ. One of the most acclaimed DJ's and producers from Spain, Nacho's history is evident in his productions. He is as comfortable making a peak time acid track to making deep house tracks that harken to productions of Mr Fingers. Nacho is clearly influenced by the early sound of Chicago house and acid house and delivers a modern twist on what is a timeless sound. It is one thing to make music that is influenced by the past, it is another to do it tastefully and properly. Nacho Marco achieves this! Nacho's diversity is on perfect display on Warm Trax Vol 1. The lead track 'On Fire' is classic acid house at its finest. The track builds and builds around a twisted acid line and snapping percussion, which eventually find its way to incredible lushness. A perfect peak time track that should drive the crowd wild. For the B side, Nacho dives into his deep side. This is classic deep house in its purest form. This brings you back to the sound of classic Detroit and Chicago. Close your eyes and allow yourself to get lost in this beauty. A future classic that we are so proud to be bringing you. Enjoy!
