House Vinyl New Releases - News

Incredible deep and warm analogue soundscapes for endless winter nights.

An exquisite collection of cuts by Orgue Electronique, Crystal Maze, ESHU and Ohrwert cover the ninth Field EP. Limited as usual, no repress.

So here it is...and it's been a long time coming: Metrobox makes his full debut on WPH. After collaborating vocals on last year's 'Red D Meets Vol 1' Metrobox has been working hard to create an E.P. that is totally WPH. And boy has he delivered!
'Juno 11' is one of those tracks you can play anywhere, anytime, anyplace: sultry, seductive, powerful and with a melody that sticks in your head instantly. More of that with 'Ode To WPH', Metrobox' own celebration of our label, and the very first part-Dutch lyrics on WPH. An attitude we can only commend! Beware: vocals can be addictive...
Talking about addictive, when we heard the remix our Japanese WPH connection Humandrone did of 'Ode Aan WPH'...we were hooked, and we stay hooked even after playing it endlessly. Listen to it, and share our anticipation for the upcoming full E.P. by Humandrone on WPH... But back to Metrobox, who rounds off his label debut with 'Live The Dream', another winner in the wake of E.P. opener 'Juno 11'. A killer melody, subdued vocals and a groove that...won't stop Welcome home Metrobox!

Back in the 90's Orlando Voorn was one of the first european producers to establish the bridge between Detroit & Europe. With countless releases on classic label's like KMS, R&S Records, Clubstitute, International Deejay Gigolo, Ignitor and ESP Records to name a few, Voorn is a important name in the history of electronic music. The last years Voorn have been laying low, mostly focusing on producing his forthcoming album which will be out very soon. This release is a taste of what to expect of Voorn in 2013 as he returns with a incredible strong EP. Starting off with 'One Day' which features soul legend Marvin Gaye on the vocals and is a funky, jazzy & soulful house track with the perfect groove. The follow up track 'Won't Be Long' is another great track, soulful detroit house at it's best! On the flip side you get 'Takadakadina' which is a hypnotic super funky house track, sounding something like Derrick Carter just moved to Detroit.. The final track 'Soul Survivor' is the bomb on this EP, a deep deep journey into Theo Parrish territory with mind-blowing elements of soul & detroit of the highest quality! All in all an impressive release and that marks the return of a king!

Tracks:

Over the last year I've traveled to Canada frequently for gigs and got to know the small but healthy electronic music scene there.Cities like Montreal, Vancouver and Toronto have brought forth many established artists over the past few years, such as Egyptrixx,Azari & III, Basic Soul Unit, Jacques Greene, Lunice and Sixtoo, but 2012 has seen a new breed of no-nonsense house and techno producers come up via labels like Turbo Recordings and Naked Lunch.
This "Dovercourt EP" features four very talented producers: Kevin McPhee, Nautiluss, Gingy and fresh face Bruce Trail. Their tracks are a dedication to their hometown of Toronto. Being removed from the house/techno epicentres of Berlin and London, these four are much less interested in what's fashionable or trendy, and more in bringing us straight to the point, no frails jacking house music. I've been playing these four extensively in my DJ sets, and I hope you will too. So out to Toronto, this one's for you! Enjoy. Martyn

Finally available on vinyl, without pretension or smug justification of "clever" sampling, is the Improper Trax rework of the Chicago '80s classic "It's You." Held high by many a DJ as the "superior" version of the highly limited late 2012 cover, thanks to its floor-focused treatment and unabashed preference to jack, it's made the rounds at Panorama Bar, Fabric, Smart Bar, Rinse.FM and pretty much every other fine dance music institution around the globe. Despite antagonizing copyright claims on Youtube, empty threats from fake lawyers, and tough-guy chest-thumping from boastful Belgians, "The Heat" flips the dial to "fuck you" and lays it out for The People to just enjoy without all the elitist posturing. With that said, the "IMPROPER TRAX" begin!

Vinyl Only and Limited to 500 copies! On the fifth release we explore the ocean's deepest depths...somewhere in a far away galaxy. These 3 Tracks are filled with heavy thundering bass drums, slow building synth sculptures and droning machines! Are you ready to submerge

Debut from ROCHE on the MATHEMATICS label leads off with "SANS QUIMICO", an amazing tune with
elements of deep house and Detroit techno. "LFTL ETERNAL" starts the flip with an obscure bangin track with crisp hats and a
bubbling bassline. The title cut ends the EP with a chilled out deep 5am feel.

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....

Mock & Toof are back following on from their superb debut album 'Tuning Echoes' in 2010.
The first material to emerge from the new album is called 'My Head' & it features vocals from young Swiss artist Ghostape. In a nutshell it's one little catchy chugger with a heavy analog sound. The beats of the Boss DR-55 & the inimitable bass of the TB-303 lay the foundation. Clavs, bell lines and synth sweeps combine with Ghostape's repetitive dubbed out vocals for a unique sounding electro-dub-funk inspired cut.

New slightly off season various artist release from WPH, Belgium!
the label say"After last year's summer special in the winter it looks like the calendar at WPH's HQ is up to par again... Luckily so is the music, as this edition of the Summer Special series focuses on three tracks that were about to get lost in the ever-growing jungle of digital only releases. But like a true Dr Livingstone Red D set out to find these babies a home on vinyl, so here we are!
The A-side is a complete Arto Mwambe affair, with the Offenbach boys giving their house meets bliss treatment to Armagnac's 'Curve' first. Released on French digital outlet All Naked Records, Arto and his Mwambes do what they do best: house music full of melody and surprise, with some disco & boogie influences lurking in the mix. The second track is their remix of Viadrina's 'Better', digitally released on Pets Recordings and now in all its melodic glory ready to be banged by quality-seeking house DJ's worldwide.
A WPH release without any San Soda input Not a chance! Our boy wonder made a remix last year for Barck & Prommer, one that got released on vinyl. But he also made another remix that never saw the light of day for reasons unknown to people vaguely aware of what Belgian trance influences can do... Judge for yourself, and maybe recognize it, because this has been a staple in label boss Red D's sets for ages... "

Making a stand-out debut on the Visionquest imprint, one of North America's most dexterous and versatile producers Brett Johnson steps up with 'Move Power' - a dense and heady double hitter of quirky chemical romance and rolling sharp edged house with an evocative lick of vocals courtesy of Ellipsis.
Dallas native Brett Johnson has been in the business of blowing up dancefloors for quite some while employing multiple guises. As producer, DJ and label owner, Brett has deftly crossed boundaries over house, techno disco and R&B delivering a cascade of benchmark releases for well over a decade including 'Stucco Homes' on Classic, 'Temptation and Lies' from album project with David Barker and his momentous remix of Scooper & Bubba 'I'm Satisfied'. Brett has also been running own imprint Bang The Box with close friend Lance DeSardi since 2007.

A series of raw house tracks engineered for heavy DJ use. Two tight tools from one of todays toughest house cats. Inspired from 90s house music played in clubs such as Greece's legendary venue Spacemobile. Volume three comes ONLY in 150g of 12 VINYL including unpadded paper inner sleeve and hard cover. All right now All right!

Enlightened Wax returns with a fistful of kick drums to the face and a whole load of crunchiness to boot. Part Analogue Cop, part Third Sider, part machine - the incomparable Marieu makes a return to his own label alongside Berlin's rising analogue fiend, Hinode who makes himself heard right from the start of A1, submerging us into a shuffling, funked-out frenzy of samples and ruthless percussion. The A2 is another brutal monster, where bursting toms, cascading synths and analogue rawness align to form an irresistible peak-time burner; but it's on the B1 that things turn really nasty - some seriously off-kilter percussion moulds seamlessly with gorgeous strings only to fall back apart into a winding bundle of slicing drums. Not much can be said about the B4, it's just a classic 'MG' (Marieu-Groove) bomb: dusty drums, shredded vocal samples and those jagged piano keys grinding their way into that seductive Enlightened Wax vibe. Marieu and Hinode packing some serious heat....Vinyl only for that extra punch!

'Walking The Streets' is the second single to be taken from Mock & Toof's
latest acclaimed album 'Temporary Happiness'. It's a welcome return to the
dancefloor sound that M&T originated with featuring the distinct vocals of
album collaborator Ghostape. Dutch synth wizard Legowelt & Rephlex's DMX
Krew provide two outstanding remixes. Killer analog vibes!

Info: NEVER BEFORE ON VINYL - BUMPER OF A TRACK/REMIX EDIT - BE QUICK LIMITED 300

First born of the rabbit stables, FTWR 001 is guaranteed to make your head bob ! For this first EP something big has been planned and it's been in trusted to the safe keeping of a talented artist : the french producer ART BLEEK. He is the composer of many albums at Loungin' Recording and collaborating with leads of famous renowned labels such as EevoNext Recording, Rush Hour Records, Connaisseur Recordings, and Charivari Records.
ART BLEEK has lovingly devised for us an enchanting EP with mind-blowing melodies, deep-house and over boosted rhythms.
The main goal of this EP is to set your spirit free into a spinning world only you can imagine. Colorful and fresh, so is the very
Chemical track : "The Radio" remixed by Tom Ellis who turns it into an ever more hypnotic and mesmerizing track. On side B is the very sick and classy "Day Dream" that is insistent and erases any knowledge of your whereabouts. Under water, above the cloud, senses are lost and dissolved to the sound of music. The chant ends with Oleg Poliakov which in turn prompts and complete the journey by a remix of 'Eyes Don't Lie' . A deep and honest mix which for a few moments more lets your imagination free.

In Munich the sun always shines. Even at night. This Pastamusik LTD is the living proof for that. The sonic power even increased after a DEMO arrived in here by Orient Expense. A Demo by a young talented man carrying the seldom name KAAN DUZARAT. Of course, after listening to his tunes we had to unpack shorts and skirts since the heat started to become unbearable. Finally we concluded that heat in winter is a good thing so we gave the release an earlier release date. Kaan is different he's slow without losing himself into the general discovery of slowness. His tracks sound like they were produced at 40C heat without losing the focus on Techno as its main goal. Rare and beautiful worlds got openend to tbe listeners ears. At his hometown, the young man is responsible for the bookings of Istanbuls Nightclubs Otto and MiniMuzikhall and he also runs his own new label named Vesveseve from which we believe will hear a lot more in the future.The B-Side is a reshape (what an un-German word) by THE ANALOG ROLAND ORCHESTRA in it's unique stylish way and shows us how a Turkish Bazar would work in Munich.
The PAMLTD010 comes in a limited Vinyl Edition of 300 records. The first 100 in clear vinyl. On one hand we love playing around with the pressing plant and of course they should also become part of our Discogs retirement funding program. A Turkish-German Friendship as it should be. Welcome Kaan Duzarat our modest lodge may also be your home.

Poisson Chat Musique celebrates its first anniversary with a strong and versatile Ep, introducing two very talented newcomers. Tim Dornbusch opens with Spaceperiode, a great and inspired dub-techno vision of a post-war city (could be the dark-side of Roger 23's Elemental 7). Label owner Poisson Chat tells a deep story about an irresistible mermaid named Linda. And finally, after his collaboration with Poisson Chat on Ray Manta (PCM003), Chahe Demian aka Blu Farm closes this Ep with Pig, one of the coolest track on Poisson Chat Musique.
This Ep is followed by a ten-track compilation (One year compilation). After a lot of requests from all over the world, eight tracks chosen from the five Eps of PCM, including Poisson Chat, Roger 23, Break SL, Gomez / Rey / Barokskki, Tim Dornbusch, and Blu Farm are finally available digitally. It doesn't mean that all of the catalogue is (and will be) available in this format, but just SOME tracks. PCM supports vinyl, and proposes few tracks digitally like an open-door to the physical format. After one year, it was also important to share the spirit of the label with people, friends and family who don't have turntables at home. To make this compilation really unique, you will also discover two unreleased and exclusive tracks from Poisson Chat and Gomez / Rey / Barokskki.

Disco Bloodbath Recordings continue their run of stellar releases with the debut on the label of the mysterious Al Gobi, accompanied by heavy remix pressure courtesy of Crooked Man and Wild Geese.
The 'Halfway House' original is simple yet extremely effective. Analogue drums work with twin bass and piano lines building to a dancefloor satisfying crescendo.
The first remix sees Wild Geese inject some big room energy via thundering sub-bass and a reworked piano line while on the flip Crooked Man provides an eleven and a half minute epic, retaining the bassline of the original but replacing the drums with a killer electro groove and introducing additional vocals and a twisted horn part. BIG TUNE!!

IS IT BALEARIC hit their late 20's with another superb release - this time Craig Bratley steps up with Analogue Dreams
Craig has earnt quite a reputation from only a handful of releases, including the Weatherall favourite and classic cut 'Birdshell' on Instruments Of Rapture.
On Analgue Dreams, Craig lays down a gently evolving, Acid tinged Piano slow burner, all mood and melody.
First up on the remix we have the ever essential Bonar Bradberry who amps things up and takes a clonking bass riff down the Disco for a real good time.On the flip Crimea X pare the musical elements right down and build an epic remix from the raw ingredients, employing live percussion and shimmering synths.
Finally Joe's Bakery dial down the tempo and incorporate some deft acoustic guitar and gentle moodswings alongside the musical elements of the original

Part 4 of this well known Edit Series! First come first served!!!

Hot on the heels of our first release, Paradise Club Recordings are straight back to business with another limited run, coloured vinyl EP that should further establish the labels growing reputation for diverse, forward thinking musicianship and staunch production values.Opening proceedings on the A-side is the stunning 'One Man & His Lighthouse' by Blacksmif. Dense synth textures are layered upon
a foundation of dynamic, pulsing cross rhythms to create an enchanting garage-meets-soul flavour that has come to define his distinct style. Continuing on the A side, Juno Sutton steps up on remix duties, creating a highly functional rework by ducking the tempo and stripping down the groove, realigning the track toward the dance-floor, while still perfectly complimenting Blacksmif's more offbeat original.
On the AA-side, Jabru shows another string to his bow and drops the pace further with the slowburning 'Butterfly Stitched' (vinyl exclusive). Here, deep pounding 808s and driving claps are woven into lo-fi pads and a haunting vocal sample to form an ethereal,
melodic stomper that still has the club set firmly in its sights.
MTD & Dutty Dan round off the AA side with the incendiary 'Stranded'. Primed for peak time destruction, the track combines gut- punching sub tones with powerful stabs and rugged, elemental percussion, resulting in a bass-heavy sonic weapon that ensures a full
attendance on the floor time and time again.
We hope you'll agree that this set of carefully crafted pieces by some unusual suspects that you're sure to be hearing a lot more from
very soon, goes one step closer to help cement Paradise Club Recordings' position as a real force to be reckoned with into 2013 and
beyond.

On the A side is the vocal version of YWFLA. Breach wanted this track on vinyl so thought he would release this exclusive version in a very limited fashion.On the flip is a tasty remix from up and coming Citizen who delivers perfectly with this dancefloor ready re shape of the original.

Limited Hand stamped Vinyl.Collaboration between Breach and Midland, released on Breach's Naked Naked label.

Four deadly cuts of timeless, jackin' house and deep techno professionalism. OCH returns to his Autoreply home with a new series of split 12"s inviting a diverse group of producers to share a slab of wax. For the A Side he opens with "Deltic" which sets the mood with tough yet soulful Chicago vibes. OCH's second contribution is "Freeze-Thaw" showcasing a deep, hypnotic groove alongside powerful sub-bass, lush female vox with dreamy analogue pads that bridge the gap between artistic creativity and memorable club versatility. On the flip side it's Romanian all-rounder, The Model, who has previously graced premium labels such as Traum Schallplatten and International DJ Gigolo. Here he delivers two ultra-phat workouts in the form of "Dungeon Man", an infectious chord driven floor-burner and "Stancuto" a stripped back, percussive take on the same theme demonstrating his emerging new warehouse sound with just the slightest salute to Echocord or Dehnert.

School is the brand new imprint from industry
veterans Katie Thiebaud, Peter Livingston and Jan
Francis and its inaugural release comes from Dusky
with 'Calling Me', out December.
Releasing on vinyl and digital, with Dusky's 'Calling
Me' taking in one vinyl-only and one digital-only
cut, details of School's future releases and overall
music policy are being kept under wraps but the
bar is set high by Dusky for 001.
Based out of Hornsey in London, Dusky (aka Alfie
Granger-Howell and Nick Harriman) have had an
exceptional year with their 'Flo Jam' and 'Henry 85'
singles, remixes for Hot Chip, Rudimental and
Justin Martin and a Radio 1 Essential mix all seeing
near-universal support from across the
electronic music spectrum.
The duo's inspirations of classic techno, quality
R&B, Garage and Rave permeate all three tracks
on
'Calling Me' and while the results come off a little
tougher than previous material the distinct Dusky
sense of funk and soul is ever-present. From the
unrelenting title track to the muscular technoid
garage of 'What I Do' via the proud rave-breakdown
aesthetics of 'Muriel', this is some....

NICK ANTHONY SIMONCINO from Italy, who devotes himself to Chicago house & Detroit techno, lands on
one of the most innovative Windy City labels of present day. Fans of his releases on NO MORE HITS, ON THE PROWL, etc will
dig these cuts.

Once again two flying something objects are located in the orbit, waiting for permission to land on your turntables and in the lay-by of your recordbag.

With an array of classic remixes under its belt, Domino is proud to release Motion Sickness - a collection of some of the finest the label has to offer- on December 3rd.
Taking its name from the opening track of Hot Chip's current album In Our Heads, Motion Sickness brings together some of the most respected names in dance music with the key players in the Domino roster.
From disc one's swell of deep, sumptuous re-workings of Domino classics including the Grammy Award-nominated Carl Craig remix of Junior Boys' "Like a Child" right through to the more esoteric, obscure and contemporary rebirths like Mike Simonetti's hard-to-find "Champagne Coast" remix on the second, it's a compilation that will work throughout the night and into the morning.
Now with the release of Motion Sickness, these definitive remixes have been brought together for the first time.
Also featuring suitably kinetic artwork from Liquid Liquid's Dennis Young, Motion Sickness puts the spotlight on Domino's previously obscured night-time alter ego.

The unstoppable force that is Maceo Plex is back on board his own Ellum Audio imprint after his huge collaboration with Jon Da Silva took the world by storm and proved to be one of the biggest tracks of the year. Never failing to deliver, the 'Space Junk EP' is another slice of dance floor magic, Maceo Plex style.
First up 'Filthy Mama' demonstrates Maceo's undeniable talent and signature sound with seductive grooves and deep, grumbling undertones. This solid house hit is tinted with disco flare yet embodies that funky, modern and hypnotic house the producer is so well known for with on point vocals that make it stand apart. There's no question that the producer has studio masterstrokes to spare, acutely aware of what works the floor.
Over on the B-side 'Stimulation' takes a deeper and harder turn for the late night ravers. Still noticeably a Maceo track, it adopts a big room driving sound with a thumping bass followed with intricate pacey percussions. Siren haunts fall into the vortex of sonic sounds, echoing and all encompassing for that dance floor effect, with warm synths flowing through the beautiful yet eerie layers.
Not many artists have the ability to envision a fresh sound and make such a signature stamp on modern dance music. Eric Estonel aka Maceo Plex has done just that, not only under his Maceo Plex moniker but also as Maetrik so it's no surprise he's been dominating the global scene. Now settled in Barcelona, Maceo balances a hectic touring schedule with plenty of studio time, prolific output released via heavyweight labels such as Leftroom, Crosstown Rebels, No.19, Watergate and Defected.Naturally, Ellum Audio is also becoming home to some classic Maceo Plex and the 'Space Junk EP' is no exception.
