House Vinyl New Releases - News

We were extremely excited to have the talent that is Chocky featuring On our next release.
Since he burst on to the scene, we have been following this artist. His music captures emotion & combines breaks, house and electronic Experimentation.

Chocky's debut on Flumo was his beautiful Remix of Robert Cashin's Makes You Stronger'
The Supplier EP' for Flumo Limited features Two tracks The Supplier and 'How long's a piece of String

Chocky's production shows the listener that with modern dance music less is some times more... Sophistication does not come from complexity here, but rather
From that unreachable art resulting from eliminating all the superfluous, so the clean soul Alone emanates from these two tracks.

Toby Tobias a multi-faced artist having recorded for labels such as Future Classics, Quintessentials, Rekids, & Delusions of Grandeur Toby add his magic to 'The Supplier' on this release & we will let the music do the talking.

Specter is enlisted to remix 'How long's a piece of String The man from Chicago reinterpretation takes us to that exquisite balance where raw vintage analogical drums melt with that unique magic of His subtle, psychedelic atmospheres.

Three song limited vinyl sampler from the upcoming Music For Shut Ins cd compilation.
Marcos Cabral takes full control over the a-side with the epic and somehow melancholic yet jacking Dancing on Manhattan, a track already in demand due its appearance on Ben UFOs BBC Essential Mix. Beautiful Swimmers surprisingly make their L.I.E.S. debut with a monstrous party cut titled The Zoo, a piece of dancefloor saving breakbeat house. And last but not least comes a rough yet hazy track by the mysterious Entro & Terri, closing it out with the undoubted smokers delight.

Paul Müller introduces himself with a record that sports class and mass alike. Its mass is easily explained: it sports three superb remixer. What tells better than some good old namedropping... Jori Hulkkonen, Lauer and Matt Walsh. These guys and Paul Müller are the ones responsible for the release's class by delivering great tracks ranging from tech-house to Disco - and whatever you may call Joris sound.

The third part in the Drexciya re-issue series! Another part of the exciting journey of Drexciya with mind blowing tracks such as You Don't know, Intensified Magnetron, Aqua Worm Hole etc.
One of the finest moments in electronic music history and Detroit techno available in remastered versions including unreleased material. Essential in every serious electronic music collection

Farah (formerly Darling Farah), joins Don't Be Afraid for his first release of the year, and his first under the newly shortened pseudonym. The itinerant young producer adopts a uniquely non-conformist approach to house and techno on this ep, as evidenced by the arcade game-sampling Cloudy Apple and the deranged funk of Lockhead. Speak On The Spotlight meanwhile presents a deeper option, whilst Humming and Pieced Apart hint at Farah's sound design credentials.

Glasgow Underground launches a new mix compilation series in May with the release of Optimo:The Underground Sound of Glasgow mixed by Optimo's JD Twitch. Each installment of The Underground Sound of... will see a DJ focus on his or her home city, compiling mixing and collection of music from said city.

Keith McIvor, aka JD Twitch is a name synonymous with quality and eclecticism in modern electronic music and his Optimo project alongside Jonnie Wilkes is no different. The duo's Optimo (E!pacio) club night, which ran from 1997 to 2010 on Sundays in Glasgow's Sub Club, is the stuff of legend. McIvor had previously been an electro, rock and punk funk DJ as well as promoter of Pure, a techno night that dominated Glasgow's clubbing landscare for ten years, until by his own admission, seamless mixing and 'obvious, easy and predictable' musical selections wore thing with him - planting the Optimo seed.
This 12 features 5 of the rarer tracks from the mix.

We first discovered young Glasweigian talent Barrientos in 2012 via the always on point synthglasgow.com blog. His debut mix for them effortly mixed tracks from Atjazz and Matthew Styles to Loco Dice, Vince Watson and Steve Rschmad and took the listener from the early bounce as the club doors open right through to hands-in-the-air madness of a packed dancefloor. We loved it. He alsoreleased the good-time, sun-soaked Sky EP (for free via Soundcloud) around the same time and the quality of both his music and production really stood out from the crowd.

Since then he has delivered 3 remixes for Glasgow Underground (Romanthony, Walker & Royce & Visitor) gaining support from a wide range of DJs such as Junior Sanchez, Mark E, Sasse, Sean Brosnan, Grum, Russ Chimes, Coyu and Severino.

"Feel The Waves" is his first full single release. And what a killer bunch of tracks he's delivered. If you want a floor-filler there's the heavyweight garage bounce of "And Uh" and the classic M1 organ house of "On My Mind". If you're looking for something deep and vocal the blissed out summertime beats of "Feel The Waves" defintely make you feel like you should be beachside at sunset with a beer in your hand. And if you need something to bring everything back down again, look no further than "Los Suenos", a solid, slow-burning Latin groove that sounds like Mark E remixing Gui Borrato and "Eventide" - the best ambient song we've heard in years.
Support from: Groove Armada, Gilles Peterson, Jaymo, Funk D'Void, Jozif, Tom Flynn, Baunz, Adana Twins, Tube & Berger, Brett Johnson, Justin Sloe (Culprit), Mash, Mia Dora, Hernan Cattaneo, A.N.D.Y., Yam Who, Chopstick, The Mekanism, Aston Shuffle, ATTARI, Luna City, Christian Homan (RTE/Pulse), Harri (Sub Club), Graeme Park, Max Pask,...

We've been a fan of Motor City Drum Ensemble since the brooding and eerie "Escape To Nowhere" in 2007 - a track that sounded like someone had listened to "French Kiss" on acid and then tried to recreate what they heard. So when we started re-issuing Romanthony's classics with fresh remixes, MCDE's Danilo Plessow was always someone we wanted to on the project. It has taken 2 years to organise this mix and now it is finally here it doesn't disappoint. Taking on "Trust", most people would head straight for the vocal but Plessow instead eschews that idea for a warm, low slung dub mix reminiscent of Muzique Tropique and early Glasgow Underground releases by Studio Blue.

There aren't make producers that manage to combine forward-thinking production and interesting musical concepts with a reputation for igniting even the coldest of dancefloors. Audiojack are one of those rare breed of producers that can do just that. Before this release the most DJ-friendly version of this song was Roman's 1995 kick-heavy vocal-loopy "Ghost Mix". Here Audiojack deliver the kind of rhythm-driven, detroit-influenced house workout that should usurp the "Ghost Mix" as the go-too choice for maximum dance-floor love.

When Kevin McKay and Freeform Five's Anu Pillai got together to remix "Weltareh", Freeform Five's single on Eskimo earlier this year they got talking about Romanthony. McKay was planning on remixing the single but hadn't started on the project yet so invited Pillai to join in. Over the years Pillai had collected an amazing array of unusual analogue synths and vintage outboard gear. This allowed him and McKay to take "Trust", soak it in acid goodness and deliver a near-on 13 minute epic mix that provides both dub and vocal versions in one. Great one for the toilet break.

West Norwood Cassette Library, AKA Bob Bhamra, has been digging through the vaults of his extensive production library, serving up this delightful double pack of gems and nuggets. Some of these tracks have been buried deep for a few years, others have been 'dubplate only' for a while, so you're definitely opening up a Pandora's box of delights here.

'Acid Jazz' cuts and chops the classic breaks and samples with some frenzied acid action, whilst '(We Have To Live) In The Future' holds a dusty and raw disco house vibe. Elsewhere on the double pack, 'Innervisions' slams down a solid Todd Terry-esque breaksbeat pattern, peppered with all the hallmarks of the classic London garage sound. 'Roots' plunders the WNCL influences, a hybrid track that fuses electro and drum & bass with ease, whilst 'Body Rock' and 'Time Loops' showcases his love of jazz and funk, always cutting and chopping but with a contemporary presentation on the music.

'8 Track Cartridge' EP is available from December 2013 on 2X12" vinyl and digital download.

Last Magppie - Top work, funk fuels rhythms
Krysko (Warehouse Project) - Love 'Acid Jazz', like an undiscovered Derrick Carter track, ace

re-release! First appearance of this small-scale vinyl imprint from the east of Holland with a split-release by the well-respected Aroy Dee (M>O>S, Delsin, Rush Hour, Dolly) and Perseus Traxx (Bunker, M>O>S). Both of them are known for their deep analogue house music productions with raw and sharp edges, but most recognizable in their work is the presence of true emotions. This will also be the distinctive element for the labels future output: emotive electronic music with the soul deep within. Honest and unpolished music that is inspired by everyday life, whether it comes from pain or joy. Perseus Traxx kicks off with an immersive, slow building and uplifting track, followed by a moody but hypnotic and slightly acid inspired piece. Aroy Dee takes care of the flip-side, with a dreamy and atmospheric track, and one raw, surprising and energetic cut. A versatile selection of tracks, limited edition of handstamped white label copies!

Been a long time since we've heard anything out of Miami like this! Producer Greg Beato follows up his blazing ep for Funkineven's Apron Records with another killer three tracker....serious shit, 100% TIP!
Beato somehow just knows how to get it right combining all the crucial electronic elements, creating three absolutely monsterous tracks that will crush the dancefloor. Sure it's been said before, but the music does the talking and this ep is a pure unharnessed example of such. Guaranteed to be in every djs bag this summer. Further proof it's game over for weak watered down dance music.

limited 180g 12" vinyl, hand stamped, individually numbered, no digital.

There are certain Moments and Event that can Redefine a nation and a culture. The 1987 1988 Acid House explosion was such a Moment in our time that it did capture a Nation and a forged a new era in modern music. "Acid" was such a taboo in the Late 80's in the UK that law officials thought that the music insight mass use of "Acid" and everyone would "Space Out" , and that was far from the truth. But what is True that some Guys from Chicago created a Sound that the World einbraced and Continues To embrace To this Day. "Acid Over" a timeless classic with new mixes makes this One a Must have in your Record box. The 12" Starts Off with a new 2013 re edit from Mike Dunn. Mike Dunn's precise editing is Matched by none on this Original Mix. Next is the Hugo H! Classic edit, Hugo's smooth and slick edit of the piano mix will have the Deep House Heads satisfied for life. On the B side we kick it Off with a fresh new rework of the classic, the Blackball Mix will Surely Keep the dancefloor screaming for hours. B2 is another rework from Tyree himself called " Acid Over Again". Here Tyree stayed To his roots and gives you refreshing twist of the classic with all new production. At THE end of the Day this will Continue To be a classic and now with a new and refreshed Sound to it.....

Our favourite Swedish house duo is back...more dirty than ever!

The follow-up to the previous EPs Moody & Trapped is nothing short of brilliant.

Waisted with it's plucked strings is classic deep house held together by a bumpy groove, soulful vocals & slick keyboard but still maintaining the formula that defines Dirtytwo and their finest work to date.

Talking 2 U is where Dirtytwo gets deep down and gritty. Chunky house chords, a meaty bassline, cut-up voice samples in full basement effect.
Flip over for the Hard On Edit of Talking 2 U which goes one step further adding some acid lines and a raw basement feeling.
A dub for those who seek a more raw and heavier tool.

Tsuba regular Hector returns for his third full EP including a big remix of last year's smash 'Hide' from Delano Smith.

Incite' originally appeared on a 7' single entitled, 'Thoughts From Chicago Vol. Three,' released by Eargasmic Recordings back in 2010. After receiving feedback from music fans all over the world; including Dubbyman of Deep Explorer Music, 'why is this track released on 7' vinyl' was the consensus.

Dubbyman even asked if he could release it on Deep
Explorer! We originally said yes, but after thinking it over, we decided to keep it home with
Emphasis Recordings. Since the track appeared on Eargasmic, we decided to rearrange the
arrangement of 'Incite,' hence the Another Mix title. And much to the chagrin of Dubbyman
not being able to release this record, we decided that he can at least do a remix; and he
delivers a disco/tech mix with slow grooving Latin percussions and female vocal skat!
Rounding the single is 'Slight,' a mid tempo goover with its subtle growling bassline and modulating synth lead!

The Ghetto Slang" is the LOD records' first EP. Produced by Jann, French guy from Bordeaux, first release in his career. He tried to transcribe what Chicago and acid house mean for him. Tracks are produced in his studio in Saint Medard en Jalles in the suburbs of Bordeaux. He's used analog drum machines, effects and synthesizers like Miami, Juno 106 and Xoxbox. Collaborating with another french producer called Theorama, he decided to produce a powerful acid techno track, perfect for the dancefloor, that track, named "Die Tomorrow", was chosen by Ricardo Miranda to be remixed. The Chicago house veteran realized his remix adding a touch of class and deep feelings to the song, a real pearl of the EP. Energy, groove, deep pad and pure old school attitude are the elements of this first LOD Records' release.

Polytone Recordings first mini-jubilee is due, and congratulations coming in directly from Detroit and Berlin! First felicitator is Terrence Dixon of Tresor fame His track "Pacers" is an intriguing 10-minute-journey. On the flip we find "Spirals", a stirring track from Iron Curtis. After his remix for Matthias Vogt's "Together As One" (PLTR004) the Berlin based producer delivers his irst original for Polytone.

Awesome 5 track 12" on the neo-Chicago tip, comes with contributions by the likes of Jack Curtu, Elec Pt. 1, Punknown, Perseus Traxx and Lost in the Sound. Limited to 300 only. Tip!

To mark the occasion of Delsin hitting 100 releases, the label is to release five new various artist EPs throughout the rest of the year.
Besides a special collector's box edition, all EPs will be offered separately, with limited edition colour runs and unlimited black copies. All fifteen tracks will also be compiled onto one CD. Label mates Convextion, Sawlin and Ross 154 (aka Newworldaquarium) contribute one tack each for the third EP in the series.

Heavy techno dude Sawlin offers up just that: stiff rhythms of industrial percussion, grainy lo-fi pads and plenty of fuzzy textures are all on display in his seriously heady jam 'Zeitstempel'. Next up is Convextion with his breezy, summery jam 'Verna'. With a squelchy and snaking bassline and subtly uplifting pads, it twists and turns as it drives forward, and so will you.

Finally for this installment, 'Moon FM Desire' (first released on 15dsr CD) is a serene and slo-mo trip by Ross 154 with tumbling drums and thin, heavenly pads. A piece of music full of pain and lovelorn drama by the man also known as Newworldaquarium.

Second official repress from the ever so beloved Serious Grooves label in Detroit. It's time for the "Classic" EP" It don't get any better than this. Pre-orders are essential.

Runde vier der Flagschiff-Compilation "Selected Label Works" von Permanent Vacation. Teil 4 bei Hollywoodfilmen ist meistens die Fortsetzung, wenn Story-mäßig endgültig der falsche Weg eingeschlagen wird - vom Licht hin zu ewiger Dunkelheit. Zum Glück haben Tom Bioly und Benjamin Fröhlich, die "Big Bosse" von Permanent Vacation, funktionierende Frontscheinwerfer, um auf der hellen Seite des Weges zu bleiben, und sie haben es sogar geschafft ein paar Feuerwerke im Kofferraum dabei zu haben. Selected Label Works Teil 4 spiegelt zwei arbeitsreiche Jahre wider und kompiliert verschiedene Artist-Alben und zahlreiche tanzbare 12" Releases auf zwei heißen Compact Discs. Darunter ist zum Beispiel die irische Queen Roisin Murphy mit dem Sternen-bestäubten, langsam pumpenden "Simulation", das hier auch als Remix, der den Dancefloor zum Brennen bringt, von ihrem irischen Landsmann Mano Le Tough gefeatured wird. Außerdem mit dabei: John Talabot, Roisin Murphy, Tensnake, Parallel Dance Ensemble, Wolfram, Mano Le Tough, Pollyester, Chateau Flight, Bostro Pesopeo, Woolfy vs Projections u.v.a.

Eine Auswahl, die den facettenreichen aber niemals willkürlichen Geschmack von Permanent Vacation zeigt und beweist, dass Permanent Vacation eines der konsequentesten Indie Labels derzeit ist - mit dem Ziel fortwährend die Grenzen in verschiedene Richtungen weiter zu verschieben, von Kraut House bis verschrobenem Disco.

If there's one thing in this world that's certain, it's that things change.
And in the life of one dance producer with a new release on Sheffield's Shabby Doll, there have been transitions aplenty.
With a switch from garage to house, a move from Doncaster to London, and a change of identity from Ryan Aitchison to Mella Dee, his spacious four- to-the-floor sound has emerged from a state of constant flux. And yet... the more things change, the more they stay the same. 'Things Don't Change' is the name of Mella Dee's new Shabby Doll EP, and when you tune into the title track's compulsive twitch, you can hear the echo of his South Yorkshire antecedents coming through.

Could that be something like an early Warp drum rattle A Sweet Exorcist groove Maybe, maybe not.
But the influence seems even stronger on the EP's second tune, 'Ripe Traxx', with its hollow bass and four-note steel drum-like refrain.

Mella Dee has deejayed on some of the biggest stages, including Fabric, Sub Club and Tramlines, and has released on the likes of Forefront, Coyote and Sccucci Manucci, so although his other life as one half of UK garage duo Mistamen is never far away - in the crisp scattering of the high-hats, and the bass's heavy growl - the 'Things Don't Change' tracks form a house quartet that's both fresh and familiar all at the same time.

With remixes from James Welsh (who has recorded for Wall of Sound and Wolf Music) and Sheffield's Oushe (who previously remixed fellow Shabby Doll artists Gosoul), 'Things Don't Change' is a dose of c'est la vie for the soul - a reminder that while Mella Dee may be moving onwards and upwards, great house music is just great house music.
No change there.

New label SHADELEAF launches with a seriously strong release from rising talent THAT MAN MONKZ

'Burnin' Up' sees him team up with superb vocal talent D'Nae for a proper slice of raw, electronic soul
Submerged Basic Channel sonics meet uplifting keys, Disco guitar licks and a groove that won't stop with D'nae laying down one of her effortless and unique vocals

Fellow Sheffiield resident Chris Duckenfield did a scissors and tape job on Burnin' Up for personal use - bringing the tracks Techno underbelly to the fore and
riding those distinctive vocals over a more straight up arrangement. That Man Monkz loved the version so much, he insisted on including it here !

On the flip we get the wonderful 'Luv Goes Round N Round'
Heavyweight 21st century sample house that doffs its cap to the Detroit masters of the genre, but brings a little extra rough and rugged vibe to proceedings
A 12 chock full of serious jams, with more to follow
A label to keep a close eye on !

Brighton's Delayed Audio is back, after a summer hiatus, with another superb various artists EP, yet again showing the label's unique take on house music, and its ability to hand-pick tracks which mould perfectly together.

Here we see original tracks from No Matter What label boss, James Johnston, UK based collective, Latona, plus Espada and DJ Rocca to round off what is an exceptional package. This is undoubtedly another statement of the label's intent to consistently deliver grade A house music.


Selected DJ support:

- Waze & Odyssey - Love It! Sounds great - support.
- James Fox - Sounding good, will play all of them earlier on - my pick is the Espada track, there's something unique sounding about it that I can't quite put my finger on. wicked production as well =)
- Chamboche - This is good. Especially like the Espada track, very original.
- Kevin Griffiths - Thanks for these - White Dreams is definitely a cool jam and my pick here.
- Iron Curtis - Really nice package all round, thanks guys
- Dudley Strangeways - Jame's track is nice but Paragon Walk is my pick and the one i would probably play most solid groove and a heavy bass line - good stuff as always from you guys.
