House Vinyl New Releases - News

The Turquoise Blue imprint has taken huge strides since launching in 2011, the attentive A&R nature of the label-founders, has led to original material and remix work on the label from the likes of Alex Arnout, Laura Jones, SLOK and Basic Soul Unit. Here the label enlists the services of Spanish duo Javier Carballo and M.A.M who between them have released with many leading modern imprints in the industry, such as Surface, One Records, FINA and Back and Forth.
The original mix of title track 'Complementos' kicks things off, tipping the focus towards a raw, drum-driven vibe, as the duo employ an amalgamation of organic percussion, with penetrating low-end tones adding weight to the groove. Things slowly bloom in this state with subtle delays tucked away in the background adding a further depth, before the centre stages see an smooth pad line eased in, adding an ethereal shimmer to the sturdy rhythm based cut. Hyped Parisian artist, Djebali, reshapes 'Complementos' next with his 'Cities Remix', the mix embraces a rugged feel with loose drum programming, while a resonant sub-bass hook adds energy to the movement of the record, and dubbed out Rhodes licks add musicality.
'Snake City' opens the latter half of the single, again seeing the duo opt for a natural percussive vibe, yet skillfully blending this with gritty electronic elements, such as sweeping synths and an acid infused bass hook. Man of the moment Adam Shelton turns in a mix of 'Snake City' to follow, the One Records head honcho, stamps his trademark house sound on the original number, with shuffling snares, hi-strings and ever-evolving automation touches such as expansive reverb bursts and elongated delays on the vocal snippets, as expected pure class."

B.Riddim is Luis Sequiera, a Portuguese living in London. Magic My Ear is his second ep for Third Ear, following the (In) Theory ep in 2012. Formerly a driving force in the influential Portuguese rap group G-Ward under the name Bellatur, Luis followed his love of Jamaican Dub using electronics to arrive at a sound which is identifiable through the sum of its parts but which is quite unique. Music like this might reasonably be expected to come from Bristol, given Bristol's musical history. The 4/4 groove is slightly more emphasized here than the tracks on (in Theory) but it is a subtle pulse most of the time with the bass and drums providing the groove and the rhythms under cascading old-skool rave melodies and arpeggios, with live melodica played by Luis. Dub and psychedelic sensibilities are to the fore on Transformed Love and Magic My Ear, carefully controlled acid-house echoes through the towering bass and whiplash drums of Dropping Your Soul. Twisted electronica floats and weaves through the rolling bass of Left Side.

Gerry Read returns with his follow up to 2012's Jummy. Taking a different approach to the jazzy loops of Jummy, Gerry delivers 2 tracks with more focus on the dancefloor.

LPH's second release of the spring is also the NYC label's second split 12'. But instead of featuring a couple of sun-soaked L.A.-based outfits as with Cosmic Kids and Fingerpaint's Reality On The Horizon EP, label heads Nik Mercer, Jacques Renault, and James Friedman set out to Sweden to grab three tracks by M.D.C. (otherwise known as Muslim Disco Club) and Name In Lights, plus a remix by Studio Barnhus' Kornél Kovács.
The appropriately named Stockholm Stories EP kicks off with M.D.C.'s 'Alma,' a sultry snake-charmer of a boogie built around a funky bassline that's equal parts Middle Eastern groove and disco thump. The Kovács remix is decidedly more club-oriented—it prominently features police sirens and some very American vocal samples, including one by a certain Queen we all know well.
On the flip are two originals by Name In Lights, the production trio M.D.C. is a member of. 'Curious Yellow' is a moody, deep house burner with an elastic bass and elegant synth washes throughout. 'Blue Swede' runs with that vibe, but cuts to the chase, instead focusing on a more straightforward build, fortified with plenty of hi-hats and a bouncy, hypnotic hook that distorts your sense of time.
The record functions as a sort of dethawing agent helping us transition from the cold, severe, and dark winter into sunnier, brighter days ahead.

An homage to the innovator, Miles Davis. By no means a jazz album, nor a remixing or recreation of Miles' music, rather a tribute to his free-flowing explorations of the sonic colors of electronic sound through improvisation.

Brooklyn producer black light smoke first appeared on Scissor and Thread in summer of 2011, simultaneously unleashing two formidable vinyl EPs: "Switchback", charted by the likes of Andrew Weatherall and Appleblim, and "Lovework" with its infectious hook and remix by DJ T. Now back with his thirds EP, "Rough Cuts", black light smoke has once again broken the rules of what a killer dance record can be. The first cut, "That's My Yes", drops like a classic house anthem: dirty, simple and bound to shake up the dance floor. Then, like a blast from the past, the tittle track, "Rough Cuts", evokes '90s-type break beats saturated in dark chords and dirty spoken vocals. On the B side, "Dreams" flows just like it sounds, encapsulating the essence of this EP: nostalgia, soundscapes, and ass-shaking beats. This record plays like a true statement- proving that artful expression and house music can be one and the same.

Vinyl Only!! Played by: Âme, Trickski, Sevensol & Martyné

Since Jasper & Maarten played at one of the first ever-Concrete party's called 'Twsted II', they knew this Parisian movement was something rare and unique.
As an ode they made these tracks keeping in mind these magic early Sunday morning hours. The result is two melodic and atmospheric influenced tracks. Their brother in crime Makam is responsible for the remix. Machine soul techno music are the keywords of this Paris-Amsterdam affair.

7 compositions; 3 ambient + 4 proper tunes that dig deep into one's psyche with emotive sounds & rhythmic syncopation. Recorded with mostly analog gear, so the warmth is present as the sound pallette is full of life.

Politics Of Dancing brings together two DJs and music producers who are strong figures of parisian deep house nights : S.M.A.L.L &
PACO. Guillaume Paco is the creator and main deejay of one of the oldest party in Paris, Open House, and he has been touring clubs
all over the world for more than 15 years now. David Matarasso aka S.M.A.L.L is a renowned producer and very talented deejay, who
has already signed on the finest labels such as Esperanza, Catwash, Brique Rouge, Overall, Mixx Records to name but a few.
S.M.A.L.L & Paco have been deejaying together for more than 10 years, and it was a natural process for them to make music and start
their own imprint : POLITICS OF DANCING RECORDS. On this first release, three tracks : two original creations, and a remix from
Djebali, one of the rising stars of Paris demanding club scene.
On the A side of this vinyl only release, "People's Choice" is a smooth, incredibly funkin', nu disco house number. The kind of track
that will definitely fill the floor of any club worthy of the name. On the B side, "Definition", a deep, yet powerful House killer, a peak time
track with an infectious bass line and typical New York style vocals. And last but not least, Djebali's remix of "Definition", brings us the
perfect final touch. It's a subtle, groovy and percussive deep house interpretation, that makes this first EP the kind of record you don't
want to leave at home on your way to your best gig. Limited 300 copies, vinyl only!

DISC 1



















DISC 2

Talahachi introduce themselves with a four track compilation of melodic techno and deep house.

John Beltran opens a crystal music-box on Pisces. Glasgow's Stephen Lopkin treks across Rannoch Moor.

Dancer, choreographer and producer Sir Lord Comixx constructs breakbeat techno from his unique perspective and Invitation Au Voyage visits the centre of the periodic table.

Here comes the first release lf the outstanding super disco stars HARD TON on our label! With A-side track RISE UP we have the first track with chart potential on our label we'd say. We love it anyway! : )
B1 track WORK THAT BODY shows off the heavier jacking side of HARD TON and B2 MONOTONE rounds up the EP with its uplifting house chords.
Not our average cup of tea, but we fckng love it.
Instead of boring you to death with just another info text, we copy these words from I-D Magazine about HARD TON:
HARD TON are the Italian duo with the larger than life disco sound and a surprising love of met- al. Fused together in 2008 from the musical loins of DJ Wawashi and heavy metal singer Max. Sylvester-styled falsettos conjure up memories of smoky dancefloors during the heady days of HI-NRG, which combined with a contemporary sound of accelerated beats and screaming acid basslines, shows a nod to the past can result in a slap across the face for the present. Using analogue and vintage gear, from the 303, 606, 707, Oberheim DMX, Korg Monopoly, MS20, Prophet V5, the music is as organic as synthetic music can be, their equipment living and dying by its own unpredictable rules. (i-D Magazine)

Mechanized rumblings from the one of the pioneering cities of the Industrial Revolution.

III Rivers takes the militant work ethic of the cotton trade and transports it to a nuclear based factory-line based on Humankind's next proposed landing bay.
When the inevitable apocalypse does occur, it'll be these vibrations soundtracking the construction of our new civilization.

Produced by Voiceless, an unknown artist(s) currently sculking in Manchester's subterranean dwellings and disused mill spaces
The EP begins with "Drop Them (Just Like That)" which soundtracks a million sub-human slaves operating the machinery required to mine resources for our new home. The repetitive kick and bass groove locking down the lesser-humans and forcing them to work while drifting sine waves and concentric tape echoes send binaural transmissions direct to the cerebrum, subconsciously programming them for later life.

"True Dat" deploys a stark, alien sound palette on the listener, preparing them for darker days ahead - we are at war within the galaxy and Voiceless is at the front line, defending Earth through a barrage of machine gun hi-hats and thick, penetrating leads.
Finally "Atlas" keeps the energy and narcosis running high. A flat-lined technoid acid attack with twangy stabs and a heavy sub make for post 4AM strobe machine abuse and uncontrollable devotion to the speaker stacks...
Just look out for Martians on the dancefloor!

Dan Curtin is back and banging drums!

Monday Night Records reaches episode number four, the culmination of the whole series, this time with a more ambitious project, released on a larger 2×12 format.
Composed of eight tracks, the sound of this release is infused with harder percussive rhythms and timbres compared to previous ones.

Numero2, a change of pace from his scintillating tech and house releases into the world of the kind of murky deep funk being perfected by Anhura offshoot Anhura Vinyl. On the label's second release, the grooves come exploding out of the black wax on 'Ghost Inside' rather than being restrained by pesky digital limitations. "Ghost Inside" is also amply supported by the world's top producers on the remix including: Nitin & Butter the Butcher, Martin Dawson, and Thyladomid, for a complete and satisfying late summer dance floor essential.

After an impressive start Halo Varga's Surface imprint readies its third release from Manchester-based producer Benedict.

With releases on Freeerange, Hudd Traxx, Morris Audio and Urban Torque, Benedict's CV speaks for itself and his debut on Surface showcases what he does best -
refined deep house with garage overtones that makes it appeal somewhat timeless.

Complementing the original are three remixes from a selection of house music aficionados. First up is New York house cat Alix Alvarez who turns in an upbeat tracky take on AAPTOBG.
Pezzner delivers a brooding, techy re-work that builds into a beautifully uplifting yet restrained breakdown that gives the listener a brief moment of euphoria before that switches straight back into hypnotic groove.

Fresh off the back of an outstanding release on Mobilee, San Fran duo Safeword explore a jazz infused dubbed-out tip drawing out the original's vocal over its course to great effect.

The 19th release on We Play House Recordings (not counting the vinyl-only coloured ones) comes from two trusted label names: WPH's Welsh man with various plans Luv Jam and SRF Inc, a moniker for German Wunderkind Dynamodyse. TIP!
What can we say about Luv Jam other than that his styles and persona are genuinely unique Since his WPH debut his name and fame have been constantly rising with releases on labels like Phonica, Throne Of Blood and Rawax. All trusted houses of vinyl and good house music, but surely you can say that We Play House Recordings is his spiritual home. So let the music speak, because 'We Play Mouse' and 'We Play Ooidonk' talk that classic Luv Jam walk!
SRF Inc is everything that Dynamodyse is not, SRF Inc is everything that Dynamodyse is too. Mathias 'Matze' Schmitt like to collaborate with like-minded souls. Be it San Soda, Ante Perry or simply himself. Just like Luv Jam's music talks for him, so does it for SRF Inc. He has collaborated with people on 'How To Eat Music' and 'Honigtränen', but with whom will not be revealed. Safe to say that these two beauties of tracks will find a long and lasting life in the bag of many DJ's and music lovers.

Home to some of his more Balearic moments most notably the epic Panorama Suite.
The A side is Dovodah! which begins with some Nu-Med atmospheres and acoustic guitar conjuring up 80's Italian beach parties. The loose percussion and a heartfelt vocal (calling the unmistakable sound of Dovodah!) carry you along before dropping into an early 90's italian progressive vibe. Genuinely a real post sunset bomb.

Doug Lee turns Dovodah into a more moody basement soundsystem banger -heavy bassline and distorted synths. This needs to be played Loud!
The B side Burning Palms is a moment of sexy strummed acoustic guitar and percussion. Sounding like A Mountain of One on a dusty desert vacation. Summers surely round the corner.
Hardway Bros Sean Johnston brings this tune back inside for some heads down dancefloor vibes while retaining alot of the original feel.
Like a gypsy acid mid tempo house party. I want to go. IIB back with a bang !

12" + SLIPMAT Debut release on the new BEATS DELIVERY & GLENVIEW RECORDS joint venture. TMO "JAM III" + bonus beats. This limited set of 100 comes with a GLENVIEW RECORDS slipmat packaged alongside. Grab this set fast.

The second instalment in Midnight Shift's remix series sees Eddie Niguel and Juju & Jordash put their magic touch on already well-received tracks by Iron Curtis (Johannes Paluka) and Detroit veteran Terrence Parker.

On the A-side, duo Juju & Jordash let their love for the jazz and experimental shine through. From a straight-up melodic house number by TP to some form of beautiful ugly, the track leads in with a deceiving pop bassline before turning into a broken, asylum hideout for the deranged. Thankfully for us listeners, it fades off with grace.

'Never Give Up' is Iron Curtis's contribution to the label (Shift 002), which saw two versions of a deeply complex composition and an inclusion in Ian Pooley's Raveline Mix Session. Here, Eddie Niguel of 'Absolute' fame turns the intention into a full onslaught aimed at the clubber's jugular, pausing just long enough for a twisted break. Another hit out of the ballpark by Eddie

400 180g 12" single press vinyl, hand stamped, individually numbered, no digital.
Tusk says - "Balls out Techno."

Teng launched in 2012 with 'AKRASounds Vol.1 & 2' by label head Nick Woolfson under his AKRA guise. Picking up support along the way from the likes of Chicago Damn, Delano Smith, Will Saul, 6th
Borough Project and DJ Deep. This stands testament to the high quality and attention to detail instilled in the label from its initial movement. Here the label steams in with more solid material to put it on the map with a phenomenal package from Clone / Rush Hour artist Neville Watson, who's trippy, analogue, acidic house cuts have earned him a highly praised reputation within the underground.
Here the release opens with the original version of 'One Four Green', which was initially released on Andy Blake's, World Unknown imprint in 2011 and has been relicensed here due to popular demand. Watson employs the use of his trusty 707 to create a raw, shuffling rhythm while a hooky electronic bass drives the melodic movement alongside warm pad lines and resonating acid style synth shots. Next up is the Deep Space Orchestra remix, the duo's gritty productions have found their way onto the likes of Quintessentials and Home Taping Is Killing Music, and here they deliver yet another powerful, energetic interpretation. Embracing their ability to create soulful, emotive music with insistent, ever-evolving melodies that smoothly play off one another and punchy, loose drums adding an infectious swing, this is classy, low-slung house infused with warmth.
Next up is the Perseus Traxx aka Nigel Rogers mix, the self-proclaimed hardware aficionado provides yet another weighty rework dripping with analogue warmth. Rogers picks up the pace slightly with a more driving feel, the rock-solid progressive groove built upon busy drum-programming and a penetrating bass carries the weight, while an amalgamation of synth lines and fluttering pads surreptitiously meander around it. To close the release Johnny Aux, one half of production outfit Paranoid London, offers up a final mix of 'One Four Green' as a digital only extra, the mix opens with a cutting melodic depth that blossoms for several minutes before Aux strips back the groove to a simple drum and bass driven vibe. The latter stage sees strings re-introduced while subtle variations to the envelope of the bass tones throughout creates an ever-evolving dynamic.
This is yet another outstanding release from the Teng imprint and a clear-cut sign 2013 is going to be an interesting prospect for the label. Neville Watson's 'One Four Green' is out on Teng 18th March 2013.

Coming off the heels of his Son Of Sound 01 EP and Night Shift release on Basement Floor, Henry Maldonado releases yet another Son Of Sound EP on his District 30 imprint. Son Of Sound 02 features 3 tracks that vary in mood, but just as the power-plant on the artwork would suggest, they're all New York and all business.

The A side sets things off with Majik Triken. The early morning uptempo deep house stomper grooves eerily with a combination of dirty drums and a harmonic synth line. The haunting vocal loop creeps its way into the track and carries the groove with the rest of the distorted elements. It's a prime example of what can happen when you take Detroit chords and combine it with a New York style backing track.

Side B kicks off with Please Stand By To Move. Straight-to-the-point 808 drumming opens up the track and leads into to even more tech-house chord action. This one is a deep groover throughout, with the energy intensity building as you ride it. Definitely a track for both New York and Detroit fans alike.

Kool Kontrol slows down the tempo to break-neck speed and takes you on a blissful, soulful journey. The track delivers a slow-paced, washed out groove laced with soulful loops and arpeggios. Its 4/4 drum track and behind-the-beat baseline give it more of a hip-hop feel while reinforcing the soulful edge and keeping the energy cool. Pop the top!.

The Freerange Colour Compilation series reaches it's final conclusion this year, and having reached the ripe old age of ten it's time to go Black. The label compilation which has also spawned many of Freerange's bigger singles continues as it first began, presenting the highlights of the years releases alongside four well-chosen exclusive tracks from established producers and newcomers alike which is what we have here on this sampler release. And yeah, we know black isn't actually a colour but we've run out of coloured card options from the pantone book so it seems a seems a suitable point to draw the series to a close as we go out with a bang on Black 10.
Kicking things off we have a killer production from one the most exciting new Japanese house producers we've come across. Sai wowed Jimpster with his 2011 STHLM and recent Ornate releases so when his demo arrived we were all over it. A La Carte is one of those stand out tracks which oozes class and personifies emotional machine-funk with it's simple Detroit chords, nagging bass and raw drums. When the new bass line drops in the break things go up a gear and at the risk of sounding like a right hippy, you really can feel the whole dancefloor come together and share a proper moment. Definitely a special track when dropped at the right time.
Next up next we have yet more fresh young talent, this time from Hamburg and going by the name of Suburb. With just one previous release on Hafendisko the young duo have penned their own sound with clear old school house references but crunched up and sample-heavy for the modern dancefloor. Aspiration keeps the groove shuffling whilst lush rhodes pads loop and a distant tripped out vocal keep the vibe raw and underground.
Two well known and respected producers join forces next with a new project going by the name of Bellavoid. Moments is a high-energy slice of house euphoria laden with spine-tingling chords and reach-for-the-raers strings underpinned with crisp, stripped back beats. We're thinking Milton Jackson meets Orbital at Raindance in 1991.
Closing the EP we have someone who will be a new name to many but hopefully not for long - Mark Hand. On Don't Take It All Away we are treated to an extended soulful beatdown jam featuring the vocals of Vicky Jackson. A perfect last track, this should leave every last one of you blissed-out and heartened by its smokey, sensual groove.

Three modern cuts created from a new swedish duo, Mount Liberation Unlimited. The duo have a long heritage in the swedish indie-pop scene but have now taken it further. With a lot of inspiration from techno and house have the appearence become something between indiepop and house, with a great body of analogue expression. Junk Yard Connections is super happy to give out this lovely debut EP!

Whoever knows of Toi Toi Musik will know they have become synonymous with underground quality and for keeping things close and personal for their events and agency. Well, with their new label it's no different; they stay very true to their identity (a good mix of English and German) and their quality. The 1st EP is produced by the legendary Mr G. Inspired after playing live at one of their events he wrote the track 'Toi Toi', which was later released on D'Julz's Bassculture label. As a consequence, his relationship with the couple is so personal he nurtured them to open their own label and offered them 3 tracks for TT01 called 'Much Love EP'. The 4th track is a remix by 'HelloRepeat' co-owner Daze Maxim, who has been a guest resident for the party for nearly its entire existence.

Debut release on the new BEATS DELIVERY & GLENVIEW RECORDS joint venture. LESCA "WRONG", TARAS 3000 "ROLL THE DICE", KRJUK "GOING ON", LIPELIS pres. TMO "JAM III" + bonus beats. A strong package of deep house from the Saint Petersburg based deep house label/community BEATS DELIVERY. Don't miss it

Benjamin Brunn's first full-length since Songs From The Beehive with Move D, leaving aside his recent Colour Tracks which was a history of EDM. Ranging from Techno to Ambient on this album, his use of the Nord Modular synth is one of the defining characteristics of his sound. He uses the instrument in a wide-ranging and original way, accompanied by a Roland TR707 drum machine. Compiled over two years from tracks sent to Third Ear, A Sun Life shows Benjamin Brunn achieving something like a perfection of his sound. Album contains Dropcard voucher to download 320mp3 copy of the album. Limited copies, no repress!


Early Feedback:

'I'm super-stoked about the Benjamin Brunn' - Philip Sherburne.

'It will be a classic' - Move D

'I love this SO MUCH!' - Lawrence

'Diggin this' - Kyle Hall

Some of the best music I've heard in a while' Mike Huckaby

'A landmark album' - Mixmaster Morris

'Amazing. So many different moods. Such a useful album for a DJ and fantastic just to listen to.' - Lorca.

Nixwax are thrilled to welcome Jackson Blumenthal into the fold as the second in the new 'Black and White Label' series.
AYHP is a track of two halves, making it perfect to be cut (exclusively) to vinyl; a quick glance at the surface will tell you how you want to play it. The first part lays down a solid groove leading to a hypnotising breakdown which, played at the right moment, will make for
the most memorable tune of the night. Jackson then takes you back into the mesmerising rhythm, saturated with cheeky delays and intricate ear candy for the more discerning listeners.
Working on the philosophy that one chord works, two chords is pushing it and three chords is basically jazz, the B side, "CFOE" is a roller that has been getting the support of the Fuse London gang, Archie Hamilton, Claus Voigtmann and Moxie to name but a few. With an infectious bassline and an airy sense of space, this one has been doing the business whenever it's been played out and about. The AYHP remix is something different to round off the record, to which Morris Cowan brings the same magic that made his Wigflex album, Six Degrees, one of our favourites of 2013. Taking the vocal elements from the breakdown as his starting point, Morris expertly reinvents the A-side with his own style and sound in full effect.

Real house master Phil Weeks makes his debut on Guy Gerber's Supplement Facts imprint with a trio of dancefloor bombs packed with his signature bump, funk and bass. Title track 'Sharks Looking For Fishes' is a fuzzy, warm affair with warping pads and shimmering cow-bells building with dusty samples combined with a jacking bassline. On the B-side 'Bees Assault' is pure heads down techy business, unhinged and driving it's the peak time banger of the release and an assault on the senses. Lastly, 'Hold Onto The Memories' brings back the French deep touch with another solid jacking groove and faded vox.

Parisian DJ/Producer Phil Weeks is a purist plain and simple and has channelled his unwavering passion for unadulterated house almost exclusively through his own label Robsoul Recordings, established in 1999 and now one of the most consistent and respected labels in the business.

Weeks released his highly acclaimed debut album 'Love Affair LP' in 2011 on Robsoul and the label is also home to releases from house royalty such as Derrick Carter, DJ Sneak, David Duriez and Chris Carrier. Weeks has also collaborated on a number of productions with Chicago hero DJ Sneak as well as fellow French innovators Chris Carrier and Dan Ghenacia.

Phil Weeks will be a guest at Guy Gerber's Wisdom Of The Glove party on 28th August at Pacha, Ibiza and it's an honour to have him on the Supplement Facts imprint for this killer release. Bringing a mix of old-school Chicago with nu-school French flair, Phil Weeks has and always will be dedicated to delivering proper house music through his DJing, productions, label Robsoul and now through his Crate Diggin' project that started in 2013 and further proves Weeks as a master of selection.
