House Vinyl New Releases - News

In the lead up to his debut solo album the Ten Thousand Yen label boss returns home with four essential cuts, with two vocal features from LA's Seven Davis Jr. The EP is led by 'What's It Gonna Be' which is already picking up early love in the clubs and on radio by the likes of Annie Mac & Skream. From the disco-charged drive of 'Together' to house/acid/techno morph 'Ghost Text' to the R&B lean of 'I Promise', the From Mine To Mistress EP is a diverse collection of tunes that really show off Daneeka's varied production style.

Prime Numbers & Trus'me once again compile some of their best vinyl releases from the last 12 months onto one essential 12 track CD.

Featured are a selection of recent Trus'me remixes from the likes of Mosca, Skudge & Alan Fitzpatrick alongside some handpicked tracks from Prime Numbers highly regarded EP series.
Two tracks from the diverse artist Adesse start us off. 'Metachemistry' is a fabulous blend of esoteric chugging jazz augmented by reedy vibes. Whilst 'Baayi' is a superbly deep & warm house production with metronomic wood blocks, organic keys, swinging drums & sublime vocal samples.

R&S records' Truss is featured with his fantastic slice of raw classic techno in 'Redbrook' which is also joined by Fred P's remix taking the track into a whirlpool of beautifully crafted jazz'd tech house in true Black Jazz Consortium style.
Massimo Di Lena steps up with 'You Better Hear', an off kilter mélange of cut up acidic bass moves & dissonant drums under hypnotic vocals. XDB brings his remix of this with a linear & subtle techno construction of bleeps & distant keys.
Adesse adds to the mix again with his insistent 'Unititled Love', a homage to early 90's garage productions with whip hard snares & swirling vocal hook.

Added to these are five remixes of Trus'me tracks from his album 'Treat Me Right'. Mosca takes the now classic 'Somebody' into a deep & bass heavy corner as only he can. Truncate makes 'Its Slow' sound like a lost Dance Mania release.
Alan Fitzpatrick beefs up 'I Want You' with all the right anthemic ingredients creating a bonafide top of the night future classic.
'Moonlight Kiss' is treated to the Skudge touch who turn out a warm house'd up rollout in their inimitable fashion.
Finally French master Marcelus hightens the tension of 'Hindsight' stripping back the original to its bare essentials.

This collection perfectly represents the diversity and direction of the Prime Numbers label and includes the pick of their vinyl releases over the past year.

Frank FM made the detroitish, chordish and housy two-tracker mtd.003
- motion sense + can't let you go' some years ago. After this pausing now
he is back with more deep techno and techhouse up to real detroit techno
sound on his mtd.010 - foreign affairs ep'. He builds a spatial and
slightly spherical up to a powerful sound - building a bridge to his
former release. The three tracks are telling a little story about a love
affair in a foreign country. The background photo could be an out of focus
shot by a private investigator. The first track - glossy lips' represents
the female side - a slowly upbuilding deep chordish techhouse track with
an unsteady rhythm and sub-bass. This positive atmosphere grows with
- smooth deepness' - which speaks for itself, but it also comes with chords
and a straight beat beside the liquid techno sound which raises up and
down again to ease the listener diving in a cosmos. Finally - want you
back' with frantic random chords and a faster and harder detroit techno
rhythm - describing the wish to get somebody back. This track ties in with
the Frank FM sound - back to his roots' of his first release on melted
recordings.

Hamburg duo Hauke Freer and Matthias Relling aka Session Victim return to Delusions of Grandeur with their second long player, 'See You When You Get There'. Right from the start it's clear Session Victim's way with a groove hasn't diminished in the two years since their debut album, 2012's 'The Haunted House of House'. 'Do It Now' and 'Hey Stranger' open the record with the duo's trademark blend of subtle sampling, gloriously swinging beats and the same off-kilter sensibility that consistently raises them above their modern disco peers. The new album marks a conscious progression in Freer & Relling's approach, evolving the sample-based production style that's won them plenty of fans since their emergence in 20











12. Outro

Alex Blaxx drops three original tracks for Dessous Recordings following a couple of very well received releases on Buzzing Fly and Sccucci Manucci. Blaxx now resides in Manchester by way of Cape Town - both cities with strong house music credentials. Blaxx himself excels in lush house productions with plenty of soul and a lot of dance floor knowledge. The EP's title track 'It's Been Done Before' gives a healthy nod to the hugely fertile period of New York house in the 1990s, but retains a freshness and spark that sets it apart from many of his contemporaries. It's highly musical and organic, with hugely effective hooks, builds and pads that will bring smiles to the faces of dancers worldwide. 'Gilmore Heureux' is a darker affair, with a raw evolving groove with a Detroit flavor. It's got plenty of grit, and a few innovative twists and turns along the way. 'All the Difference' slows the pace slightly, unwinding a killer groove driven by a piano and punchy drums. About midway through a sublime synth bass joins the fray, and the track lifts off into the ether.

The Stuttgart papi Michel Baumann alias Soulphiction aka Jackmate presents three new power generators on - Treat Your Dj Right' equipped with the right measure of steam and courage. On Halios EP he's getting the juices flowing, however manifested as a compulsion to move. Beyblade' is a glossily illuminated, sensory-enhanced modern club production which shows that Chicago and Detroit could be sister cities, in the heart of Trollinger-Town! Juan is soaked with pure chi-town pads, and applied, frenetic subterranean bass. Through a fully conscious, shifting rhythm and hi-hat that whispers as if a drum is being stroked with a brush, it manages a compelling groove. Length doesn't play a role here, answering the question of why anything should be extended when the moment of euphoria has been reached. Sunbeams demonstrates how a 'whitey' can produce the same velvety, soulful sound of black music, and with the same understanding to boot.

New M1 sessions featuring the work of DJ Dez, aka Dez Andres, or to most known as simply Andres- who has been on a roll this year with his hit record 'New For U.' Dez blurs genres like no other from hip hop to house and all the dirty funk in between!

Limited edition 12".

Meda Fury is a brand new London based label bringing new and established producers together from across the globe.

House music is a broad artform. Over each release we will be exploring the infinite possibilities within this genre. Using the EP as a story-telling canvas we hope to create a breeding ground and network for disparate artists from various countries.

Hazylujah's follow up to his Delsin EP is inspired by the works of Alejandro Jodorowsky and Carlos Castaneda. The EP title is a quote from Heraclitus translated today, a criticism of people who ignore the flow of reality.

Enter Hazylujah's desert world first through Get Mezcla, a propulsive windswept rhythm box and otherworldly dream-noise precede a tlapitzalli flute melody. Mystical vocals become layered amongst a tumbling arrangement, progressing and perfecting its existence.

Acqua Amara's subtlety builds from a breath to a wilderness of indigenous birds. Synthetic harmonies form a makeshift Hacienda, before an undulating bassline and imaginary pianos complete the settlement.

How Can You Hide From What Never Goes Away Lights a fire. Native strings and flutes dance out of time making a connection to paradise.

On High In Translucent Tomorrows steps through the calendar door to the new unknown, a multicoloured system of pipes erupt and a magical bass tone flowers. The shaman's prayer completes the divination.

The DeepLabs imprint releases it's fourth record with a killer collaboration between label CEO Luke Hess & FXHE label boss Omar S. made specifically for the dance-floor! Automatic Night brings you a classic analog excursion - a perfect blend of Detroit Techno & Detroit House.

Amazing techno/electro release by Bernardi (Octogen / Frustrated Funk).

New release from the Triphouse Rotterdam tribe. Debut ep by new kid on the block Shobba. With four killer house/garage/uk bass tracks!

"My Own Transition" has to be one of our favourite techno tracks in recent years. Since it's release three years ago, it has stick with us in a really special way. Having known Eduardo for years, and given that many people couldn't get a copy of the original release, we though it would be a good idea to ask him about repressing it. He quickly accepted, giving us the chance to re-master the track and give it a well deserved second life. The track itself is a classic Detroit techno composition, but with Eduardo's signature brittle melodic progressions and spiritual atmospheres. As a matter of fact, Eduardo himself explains that the track was inspired by his "bhakti yoga studies in an Ashram based in Spain", with the "transition" of the title being "the journey between life and death". Maybe that's the reason why the track has such an emotional strength. The release comes in a single-sided 12" with artwork by Arnau Pi. This will be a vinyl-only release.

The album Astral Traveling by Innerspace Halflife is among us with 9 tunes straight from the universal psyche, yet articulated with the tools of human perception through waveforms. Deeper and deeper the tunes take a listener on a journey of spacey pads, longing melodies, electronic bass notes, and jacking drum programming. In terms of human understanding, the universe is infinite which makes any scenario one can think of possible. With this in mind, Astral Traveling was composed and explores the deepness of creativity as Innerspace Halflife reaches down to pull out sounds using various techniques. The story begins with Teardrop from Nebula 1122+22. Straight from a far away point in space which can serve as the beginning or end of a journey. Deep chord pads and flurrying synths twinkle around while the bassline follows suit, sounding like aliens talking, definitely a conversation of sonic verbs, adjectives, and nouns. After experiencing an assault of melodies, Particle Burst takes command with its chunky beats, rich chords, and many synth lines. Like when scientists found how to split atoms into particles, the bass melody line dances around sounding different with each phrase iteration. The chords here are emotive. So it is only natural that Breaking Lights would follow as the percussion flows, hand claps serge and lead us into a electronic bass line. Swinging hi hats appear and break through the beat like lights followed by a string melody line. Next the deep jack comes to light with the electric sounds from the ionic sphere. Ionic Transport begins with deep chords which lead to nasty rhythms that electrify speaker cones. The syncopated beat keeps jacking, later the action gets busier and a bassline appears to relieve the tension like lightning striking that increases one's heart rate. Starfields is next and this tune focuses on the melodies and rhythms, moving around like twinkling starts. The kick bumps as a bassline flows. After a long time on one chord the tune opens up into a progression causing great relief to the listener's ears. Looking out at starfields, this piece sounds like stars having interstellar conversations through tones. An intermission ensues and a poem about Galaxy Dreaming appears, like most far off galaxies the language is indecipherable to humans ears with the delaying synth lines moving around. Meanwhile between the interstellar talk, the transmission are intercepted by planets. Magical Rings sounds as the bass synth drops, going round and round the melody as the bass chase each other while the sparse percussion moves. The celestial melody comes back and speaks more later in the tune. From these rings dust is generated due to gravitational pulls but not just any dust but Acid Dust. Banging kick drums and multiple acid lines appear to create the groove. Melody lines appear and swell into great soundscapes, the percussion changes nicely augmenting the acid line changes. Then the end of this cosmic adventure comes in on the micro level with Escape System. Atoms being broken down into the finest pieces possible, even the basis of jump technology sounds off with banging kick drums and percussion that moves fast. The bassline arrives first, steadily pulsating, and the deep pads come out to sing several melodies. Balancing between bass and pads equal emotive interstellar astral traveling. Enjoy the ride as Innerspace Halflife shows you one way of Astral Traveling through sonic tones.

This third release on Flatlife Deep is a deep detroit techno release from Mark Archer; also known as Altern 8 or Nexus 21.

Chaise Longue aka "Slikk Tim" delivers a fantastic deep cut with early deep house sound reminiscence of early Guidance Recordings, beautiful keys, deep baseline and a live guitar. Bittersuite - straight up late night house music, deep and emotional pads with amazing keys, perfect track to complete the side Side B delivers a exceptional track by a secret artist - not much needs to be said, just check the track & your understand what its all about. J's Gruv's is new guy from the French department, his track is deep groovy late night grover, accompanied by soulful keys and old school baseline, quality track - "deep for the heads"

For Legwork's first outing, we've recruited a seminal techno-soul producer from Dallas, Texas, who prefers to stay in the shadows, remaining nameless(ish). That said, anyone who's serious about Detroit techno know's his work on Matrix, Down Low, and most receintly Delsin. On Remix duty are fellow Dallas alumnus Lance DeSardi, head honcho at Legwork, and DJ Cle, the hardest massaging man in house music.
A1. Down Off Cooper If this bassline doesn't hook you, check your pulse. Add some twisting and sliding pads to relentless machine-funked rhythms, and Robert's your mother's brother.
A2: Where's Cityboy The perfect complimentary tune to Down Off Cooper, this one's slightly deeper, while still keeping the drum patterns moving and bass rumbling enough for the most discerning of dance floors.
B1: Down Off Cooper (Lance De Sardi & Cle Remix) Lance & Cle take Down Off Cooper to a more House-oriented dimension, never losing the techno soul of the original. The extra vocal snippet reminescent of classic M.A.W. dubs or Global Communication shoots this one into space.

Colman Buckley & Ray Taff, known collectively as 'Dog Days' make a long awaited return to Assembly Records, following up 'Woofer' (their much lauded 2012 outing) with a new 3 tracker, 'Stand Down'. A rich tapestry that wears it's 4/4 rhythms and its Detroit influences with immense pride, this EP features 3 tracks that combine sensuous vocals, tight percussion and melodic hooks that will be lodged in your brain for days to come.

Opening with the eponymous 'Stand Down', this refined track is a warm, luscious, 5-minute voyage into chilled out territories.

only one per customer!!L.A.'s Gene Liquor take off with their own label... Laurent's first up and brings a massive slurp of finest to the table..

Reflective hypno-house, call-and-response choir practice, rapturous crayola keyboard freak parades, jazz sample cascades, stomps, bells, & softly chirping forest beats. For irregular dancefloors & deviant listeners of all shapes.

Detroit's Berlin-based Jimmy Edgar is on a mission
to manifest dance culture on a level deeper than
any bass can drop. Synthesizing his passions for
esoteric philosophy and '90s club music, Edgar
announces a new EP, label launch, and special
projects with fellow multimedia mystics
Machinedrum and Pilar Zeta.
An alumni of vaunted electronic labels Warp, !K7
and Hotflush, Edgar teams with longtime friend
and frequent collaborator Machinedrum (Travis
Stewart) to launch a new label called Ultramajic.
The two have been 'deep telepathic friends' since
their teen years when Stewart encouraged Merck
Records to sign Jimmy based on a random CDR
that found its way to the label in 1999. In addition to
doing A&R for the new label, Stewart's work with
Edgar includes their side project JETS, as well as
film and installation pieces.
The new label's first release is Edgar's new EP, Hot
Inside, out June 10th. Hot Inside struts with
libidinous abandon and oozes supernatural
essence. The title track opens Hot Inside with a
filtered diva wail, cavernous beats, and warped
techno grooves. 'Shout' is a pulsating electro
stomper, riddled with vocal loops, oscillating
synths....

Italian producer & Hot Mix label boss Nick Anthony Simoncino is back with "Some People", a collaboration with Chicago's legendary House vocalist Robert Owens. Simoncino's 3 original mixes sound just like tracks lifted off lost EP's straight from the mid 80's with deep, melancholy synths, driving analogue drum machine sounds and Owen's yearning vocal performance coming together beautifully while showing off Simoncino's versatility as a producer. "Some People" is perfect late night House music with a classic sensibility, for the deepest hours of the night or the morning.

On remix duties we have the UK's very own Chamboche who delivers a deep, rolling version of "Some People" keeping things nice and stripped back and adding a dubby quality to his mix while Finnish new school House head Trevor Deep Jr's "Warehouse Mix" keeps Owen's vocals right up-front with some killer drum programming and percussion rounding out the EP while keeping the old school vibe firmly anchored to the dance-floor...

Ostgut-Ton-Neuzugang Ryan Elliott aus Detroit hat in der Vergangenheit das seltene Kunststück fertig gebracht, sich ausschließlich durchs Auflegen einen internationalen Namen zu machen. Bisher hat er nur wenige Veröffentlichungen vorzuweisen, u.a. sein Track "Abatis" für Ostgut Tons "Fünf"-Compilation, ein düster-brodelndes Stück Techno, das er nach seinem Umzug nach Berlin angefertigt hat.

Welcome 2013 & Stenny! Congratulazione Ragazze! Outime Artifacts are probably Stenny's main business in Turin, besides stalking his girlfriend or Andrea after their Tennis matches. As a former inline street skate pro, he always wanted to get a part on the famous Suface Hoax video series, but since he got into Techno and Dr Sax's door policy he ended up on Ilian Tape. While the summer gets pretty cazz hot in Turin, Stenny is always trying to avoid getting de-hydrated through screaming 'one, two e Tri-lithe!' and smashing his whole body into the wavy Po. The Netherlands and Italy don't really have anything in common besides slammin music and corrupt politicians probably. And even if it doesn't get as hot in Rottderdam as in Turin in summer, Paul du Lac never hesitates to jack around the corner with some fresh croccetje.

Quality techno 4-tracker on Hypnotic Room from the four rising stars of

Classic NYC House from the Eight Ball label. Nicely re-issued by Slow To Speak

At once foreign and familiar, Desert Sound Colony brilliantly scores a nostalgic journey through the proverbial looking glass. The plaintiff vibe of "The Way I Began" envelopes the listener in warm guitar licks and hushed vocals, transporting them to a time when innocence and insecurity gave way to transcendence. The road takes a turn with "Fire Egg", a classic stomper that drives introspection with looping guitar melody and bouncy bass. And before we return to size, "Iris" carries us further inward with scattered claps and a skipping kick, before releasing us into a deep and chugging, eyes-wide-shut, euphoric roller.

Adelaide producer Mic Mills releases his long awaited debut EP on Untzz Twelve Inch, a label he has contributed to since day one.

Tasty Little Fruit and it's accompanying dub version stomp around tastefully distorted analog drums, well picked samples and a delectable modular bass line to boot. Watch the tempo change!

Mic's soundtrack to a fellow label mate and his adventures in love fill the flip side. Beat the pussy up.

After our last EP by Bristolian duo Behling & Simpson, we return in full effect with out latest offering; G.M.S. by yet another duo, the wonderkids Glenn Astro & IMYRMiND. Both hailing from Germany, the duo have had a great 2013 so far by releasing some amazing solo bits on labels such as Big Bait Records and WotNot Music. For this EP however, they decided to join forces and bring us an amazing EP that'll do justice to any dancefloor.

Containing 4 tracks, G.M.S. swings between low tempo house and faster paced techno while at the same time containing that low slung deep vibe we all love to hear on a big system. The title track 'Got Me Shakin', might be the best example of the overall feel of the EP; deep grooves, dark basslines and a mesmerizing vocal to top it off. The A2 track 'Do My Thing', a solo effort by Glenn Astro, is very much a continuation of that same vibe; a good rhythm accompanied by big drums, heavy bass and a deep melodic groove. The B side takes a somewhat different turn by offering a much more relaxing pace in the form of 2 tracks. The IMYRMind belter 'Heavy Cruiser' and the Glenn Astro laced 'UNTLD'. Both having that distinct dark appeal but yet offering a much more soothing and easy ride.

G.M.S. will be available on 12" vinyl at all the known outlets July,1 . Digital download will follow shortly.

To ensure the success of this release, Line Idle decided to undertake a magic ceremony on the Wrong Island. But first he required some essential ingredients. Smearing himself in green woad he went hunting in the mystical forests on the westerly shores.

For 23 days and nights he laid in wait for the one animal he knew was essential for the success this ritual - The fabled Last Unicorn. After patiently sitting in the undergrowth, with only mosses and lichens for sustenance, his quarry appeared and was caught in the trap; a mighty struggle ensued. Though he was tired, malnourished and the fight was not without injury to his person from the thundering kicks of the horned beast, the mighty Line Idle prevailed.

Tearing the horn from the Unicorn to use later to punch the centre hole in the vinyl, he then collected a pint of blood and mixed it with the vinyl that would be pressed into this very record.

Rather than causing an impurity as many think, this magic ichor actually makes the tracks sound better than any 12' released since 1980.

Unicorn blood was of course used in every 12' single previous to this time; the massive sales of disco records contributing directly to the sad and brutal decrease in population. Indeed it is little known that the original reason for the Disco Demolition Derby, before it was usurped by homophobic racists, was to raise awareness of the plight of the Unicorn

So do not let the death of this fine creature be in vain. Buy this 12' and treasure it for what it is: a record with Unicorn blood in it.

Nail provides the lead track for FOF's latest vinyl only excursion - originally produced in the same time period as the classic tracks on the 'Ode Rammel' reissue ep earlier in the year, 'Glazed' lay dormant on one of Nail's DAT for many years before being rediscovered and given it's first airing now on FOF. Chunky roughed up house beats are the order of the day here, a real peak time groove. New talent 'Harry McCanna', resident at London's infamous 'Undersound' nights, debuts with 'Act 1', a beautifully subtle bassline driven groove that rises above the pack with it's super warm pad lending the track a warm and fuzzy hypnotic edge. Romanian talent 'Zece' kicks off the flipside with the most contemporary offering; a breakbeat laden groove with a fx laden vocal snatch underpinned by that all important b-line. 'Sonodab' rounds things off with a beautifully deep and melodic slice of electro on 'Brown Study', the percussive elements giving rise to a hazy melodic pattern for those early hour excursions.

A brand new collab by Pittsburgh Track Authority & Nic Offer of !!!. Following the path laid down by Inner City this is a vocal techno beast ready to do damage from deep underground to more mainstream floors. Remix by Detroit's Church Boy Lou.

A diverse selection of musical amenities from this Detroit producer. From playful, livewire antics, to jaunty, arpeggiated techno flows; a gorgeously evolving banger; ending with a swirling, almost jazzy romp, for the residents of clubland.
