House Vinyl New Releases - News

GEHM returns once again to the MATHEMATICS imprint for more banging housecuts! "FIRE & ICE" along with "FROM SPACE 3 SUNS" bring old school Chicagohouse vibes with raw drums and eerie synths. "WARM WORDS DON'T HELP AS MUCHAS A HELPING HAND" with the title track take on the flip.

It's easy to come across many techno albums which contain neither a true vision nor a concept these days. However, throughout the last three years, the Berlin sound has witnessed a revival in both method and sound aesthetic. This is largely thanks to the work of a specific cohort of artists which have recalled on past principles and methods to push things forward in the aim of creating new and original frameworks for electronic dance music. At the centre of this limited group are the hardware radicalists known as the Analogue Cops and Steffi, the passionate heart behind Dolly and Klakson. Their unification in the studio has given us some of the best productions of the past year and this latest LP serves as both a proclamation of their shared love for the analogue sound and as a breath of fresh air for techno.
'The Absolute' kicks things off with rippling snare drums, a warm bass line and a sweet cocktail of atmospherics and effects. Restoration friend, nd_baumecker joins the team on 'Jackie', where a chopped up vocal is carried backwards and forwards by an edgy drum machine workout.
'The Base Of All Matters' is a progressive, heads-down beat filled with crispy snares and disjointed chords, but the trio really get going on 'Gauge Fields' - where a frenetic mixture of synth stabs and effects is swallowed by a montrous, syncopating bass line. Side C begins with 'Unity', a powerful techno tool which has recently been remixed by Steffi herself, Blawan and the mysterious Nightjars. 'Subsequent Stages' enters lighter house territories but still retains that signature Third Side rawness and minimalism. On the flipside, 'Fundamental Forces' introduces a heavy, bumping beat floating over a sea of euphoric voices and distant melodies. Finally, the amptly names 'Shit On Me' featuring Virginia (the talented singer and songwriter responsible for the astonishing vocals tracks 'on the rousing hit Yours', and on the touching 'You Own My Mind', both released on Berlin's Ostgut Ton in Feb 2011) closes things off with a nasty, twisted percussion which evolves into a more experimental, bass-fuelled anthem for the small hours. Real techno excursions for the coinnasseurs.

Best known for his releases across Bunker, Delsin, W.T. Recordings and more under the shark loving $tinkworx moniker, US producer JT Stewart is retaining the Drexciyan themes that ran through that recent 12inch while reining in some of the dread filled textures that permeated its every pore in favour of a more classicist take on the Detroit Utopian techno vision.

Elektro Guzzi have been called a lot of things - from 'Man-Machine' to 'first ever real live techno band' - and most critics have added plenty of superlatives to their descriptions.
It's a hype you can safely believe: The energy and precision of their fabled live shows has to be experienced first hand in order to understand why Elektro Guzzi are regulars on the world's clubs and festival circuit, having played Berghain and Fabric, SÛnar and Time Warp in 2011.
It's also a hype you can safely ignore: Listening to Elektro Guzzi's music it becomes completely irrelevant that these tracks are created using guitars, drums and effect pedals. They stand tall for what they are: Spectacularly unique sounding and brilliantly flowing exercises in dark, organic techno.
From hypnotic 'Fat Pony' to 'High Noon's swirling pads and 'Jangu's steel-drum-led Jeff Mills allusions, the trio's Pomelo debut is an EP that's firmly made with the dance-floor as its inspiration and goal, refining their style while embracing new influences, such as the wobbly bass lines and bouncy UK-style grooves in 'Asteroid'.
Once again aided by the legendary mixing skills of Patrick Pulsinger at Vienna's Feedback Studios, Bernhard Hammer, Jakob Schneidewind and Bernhard Breuer are clearly at the peak of their prowess and well on the way of making Elektro Guzzi the most radical dance band of the decade.

Die "Full Body Workout"-Serie ist seit langem ein Eckpfeiler des Berliner Labels Get Physical. Erstmals erscheint nun eine Folge auch auf CD und nicht alleine digital. Wie immer sind Top-Namen vertreten, die zeigen, wohin es in der Szene gerade geht. Dieses Mal sind Simon Baker (der auch für den Mix verantwortlich ist), Audiojack, Gel Abril, Noir & Atapy, Blond:ish und einige andere vertreten. Das Cover zeigt ein Foto der renommierten Modefotografin Rowena Waack.

Boyd Jarvis drops 2 tracks of deep US house for Finland's Traveller. If you liked Boyd's previous output on labels such as King Street, Central Park and Trax then you're sure to dig these. As ever with Traveller, limited copies and no digital.

Hot Creations offshoot Hot Waves releases it's third stupendous Hot Waves compilation this September. Released digitally on the 24th September, this double-pack 12' features six killer tracks from the 14-track compilation.
After his momentous 'I Know' release earlier this year Alexis Raphael is back with a call to arms as he sounds the 'Warhorn' delivering dance floor mayhem. Also on the A side is Lee Webster's hypnotic soul-infused slice of dirty house, 'Spend All Her Money'. Lee has recently released the great 'Freaky Bitches' EP on Glasgow Underground.
On the flip and new Italian artist Bartolemeo delivers the psychedelic 'Jean Is Not Death' a slow break underpins the swirling array of synths and eerie vocals as the track builds to into a transcendental conclusion
Side C witness Hot Creations stalwart Robert James deliver another battle weapon in the James arsenal with fantastic 'Body Movement'. Also featured on Side C and French producer teams up with Italian Dast for the brilliant 'Wanna Be', another driving house monster perfect for Hot Waves!
Finally Hot Creations artist wAFF delivers the sublime 'Sunshine', a fantastic slice of hedonistic house to finish a great double pack. Watch out for Hot Waves 4 released in November this year with some more sonic delights!

Lakosa & iO are third to grace the MadTech roster with their dancefloor banger Home Early, which features remixes by West Norwood Cassette Library and the 17 year old exceptionally talented experimental grime producer Pedro 123. Home Early is a punchy house track weighted by bass and marching with the suave speed of 4/4 house. Its sultry vocals and samples tease the determined beat that drops in and out developing a bold breakdown. The track sits nicely between house and UK bass, giving it the flexibility to sit within an array of styles in future sets and mixes. West Norwood Cassette Library's remix gives the original a disco tinge with the use of strings and vintage sounding samples. The vocal is scrunched and ricochets neatly off the carefully placed beats and samples. The Pedro 123 remix gives the original a smack of grime and a refreshing sound. Pedro stretches the vocal into a smooth echo that drifts over the top of his clipped punching bass line. A grime-tinged wobble and a bassy beat resonates beneath Pedros impeccable percussive production.

For its next release, MOS calls on the services of label head Aroy Dee and Perlon/Rush Hour man San Proper to craft a beautiful four track EP entitled 'Perfume.' The truth of the matter is, after the friends had enjoyed something of a wild night out in Amsterdam, they returned to San Proper's studio for a live session which involved a bottle of Scotch! It kicks off with the swirling pads and soft shakers of the title track which immediately sink you into some deep space atmosphere a world away from this one. When kicks do come, they are distant, much like the echoing handclaps, and the whole thing feels like a half-remembered and deepest house dream. The 'reprise' version of the same track is even more hollowed out, with less beats, greater echo and a sense of looming melancholia hanging in the air above the swirling sounds below. As for the b-sides, the first is Proper's Groove mix of 'Usher' - it's a mobile wedge of deep house where the rounded bassline takes centre stage. Around it various melodic stabs add colour and intrigue as it meanders its way forward through classic sounding hi-hat ringlets. It's mesmerising, of course, but warm and human sounding, too. Finally, Aroy steps up again to provide his melancholy mix of 'Usher' which hangs its head more than the Proper version. Here the pads disappear of to infinity and drag you right into their core whilst tense synth sounds wiggle and squiggle in the background. An EP of more mind-melting or heart warming house sounds you are unlikely to hear because Aroy Dee and his MOS are the true masters of future facing, retro-referencing house music...

After the 'Silent State' 12 and 'Neurotransmitting Clouds On A Secret Freeway", a contribution to our 'And Suddenly It's Morning' labelcompilation, STL is back on Smallville with a full EP. Three outstanding tracks that got everything we adore about him!

Record dealer, DJ and fountain of musical knowledge - Mark Seven returns with the eagerly awaited follow up to last year's sellout smash 'Working Girl' !!
Parkway is a new label Mark has set up to reflect the freedom and energy of the 80's dancefloor, albeit rewired with super 21st century sonics 'Midnite Special' picks up where the first release left off.
Shot through with shimmering synths, booming bass lines, soaring vocal samples and super crisp rhythm programming, with that unmistakable Paul Simpson / Boyd Jarvis NYC proto House vibe
It's a beautifully uplifting selection of dubs, that are much more than the sum of their parts - dancefloor dynamite and we just can't get enough of it !

Continuing the success of Ben Sims and Kirk Degiorgio's joint project Machine - a clubnight which focuses on new, unreleased, & upfront music; it's primary home in London, but with editions all across Europe each year - Ben & Kirk set out their stall with the debut release of their new imprint of the same name. Kirk's "Machine Theme" slips into deep & melodic grounds, while Ben's "Metalworks" brings a harder, dead-of-night techno feel. Sims also lends his remixing skills and provides a tougher examination of "Machine Theme"

Chicago's Steven Tang (Emphasis) with four brand new tracks, with Tang's unique trademark blend of raw jacking Chicago beats and Detroit-inspired atmospheres. One of the few contemporary techno artists that truly delivers music for both body and soul... Hot release!

Stepping outside the realms of talent hothouse Wolf + Lamb and engaging in a rare bit of extraterritorial chemistry with bold boutique label somethinksounds, Gadi Mizrahi delivers his long-awaited solo material under the alias Baby Prince. The 'Nobody EP',featuring Lonely C and hot property Miguel Campbell and Lucky Paul on remix duty, carries the unmistakable hallmarks of Mizrahi's unique and kinky productions.

Stalwart is proud to present its new release by spain's hot property, Kiko Navarro. Being an active, talented and versatile DJ, producer and remixer for almost 20 years, Kiko comes here with a balearic version of a 1986 pop hit from Swiss duo Double: "The Captain Of Her Heart".
The vocals by Detroit's Paul Randolph who has worked with Jazzanova, Moodymann, Skwerl, Simbad amongs other fit well with the cool dreamy feel of the production, leading to an instant lounge winner. On the remix tip, things are getting a little tougher: Daniel Kyo delivers 2 dance floor versions sure to capture the dance floor's energy, one old school acidic and melodic, the other being more minimalistic with a great build up all through the track. Roberto Rodriguez comes up with a more "spiritually-dancefloored" remix, keeping some of the melody from the original, while Jeff Sharel goes on a twisted downtempo side. Another various package from Stalwart for you to choose from !!

When a young guy from Copenhagen sent us his music, a single listen was all it took to notice the special talent at work here. It was obvious that these tracks deserved an immediate release.
As fate would have it, 1 years have passed since. The tracks however, never lost any of their timeless depth. Theology student Samuel André Madsen from Denmark knows how to combine single elements into a groove collage defying all stereotypes.
Northwest Cave Groove is brushed lightly against the grain, against all expectations, opens up once the chords hit.
Moodsy (12' vinyl exclusive) opens with a warm hypnotic sound carpet that is hard to resist.
The following breaks sends the track into stasis.
Finally, Achterbahn D ´Amour rebuild the original track into an epic, tercet-laden, 9 min. acid monster with a classic 808/909 barrage. At the end elegiac strings convert it into a and yet surprisingly thriving field of flowers.

Sunsoaked boogie & grow house chuggers from West Coast garden of earthly delights. Horoscope finds lil Suzy easing off the samples & diving headfirst into synth, bass, harmony & percussion driven compositions. Pic sleeve.

Bokhari Records is a vinyl only label.
Bokhari has been inspired by Mo' Wax of old, and Firecracker of present where care was/is also taken on packaging and design.Each release will feature a different illustrator / artist for the design.
A very strong and varied 12 for the second release from Bokhari.
300 copies, vinyl only, and featuring wild 3D hand drawn artwork by nocturnal illustrator Ben Cook AKA Synthetics.
Siafu's Slunk Dub starts proceedings with a slow, deep, languid house groove, propelled forward by a motoring bassline, murky acid grooves and insanely catchy keys.
Acid House survivor Neville Watson's remix is tinged with nostalgia. Slow building mid-90's piano riffs give way to a nagging acid groove and epic synths. Retro futurism of the highest order.
On the flip unknown Croatian producer Disrupted Project's 1.2 is an infectious slab of ocean deep, grainy dub techno. Drenched in warm bass and swimming in static - if Basic Channel had stepped it up a notch, this may have been the result.
Label owners Siafu provide a dub mix utilizing a minitaur bass.

Synonymous with Detroit, Techno, and Tresor, Scan 7 have remained protagonists of the Berlin-Detroit axis since it was first forged in the sweaty obsidian of the club's original Wertheim vault home. Now, over 20 years later, the masked techno collective pay tribute to the triptych's matted histories on 'The Resistance EP'.
With identifiable nods to Scan 7's Underground Resistance affiliations - the label that launched the group, and whose militaristic and political philosophies can be found littered throughout their discography - the EP begins with quintessential Detroit strings and groove before delving into darker techno territory. On the A-side, "The Resistance" offers an uplifting and delightfully nostalgic jaunt through dance music past, using all those favourite and immortal house tropes to deliver instant gratification. Meanwhile, the B-side shows off Scan 7 as masters of warm, yet shadowy techno - plus their trademark drum work - in the hypnotic "Why Not" and driving, basement-ready "In & Out Of The Groove".

The last time Alejandro Mosso released one of his original productions on Airdrop, he was still operating under his Funzion alias. Released in April 2008 and designed with Franco Cinelli, the Singa*Pure EP left a distinctive footprint on many wooden and concrete floors. The Mendoza-born producer is now back, revealing here one of the highlights of the new live performance he has presented throughout Europe and Japan over the last year, 'Nightwalker' - a cutthroat, synth-driven number, which slightly departs from Mosso's usual signature sound. On the flip, who better to spread some funk and soot than legendary Frankfurt artist LoSoul One cannot possibly forget his 2008 title 'West Side Horn' on Playhouse - the one that actually made us think how most appropriate the LoSoul treatment would be on Nightwalker... we were not wrong!

After starring on the One Records various artists release earlier this year with the heavy-duty hit 'Gorilla', DC10 hero DJ W!ld is back on board the label with 'Circo Fever' featuring two original tracks with remixes from label boss Adam Shelton, fellow DC10 legend Clive Henry and one of Portugal's finest exports, Rui Da Silva.
Keeping in touch with true DJ W!ld style, the aptly named 'Circo Fever' perfectly pinpoints the chugging house sound that the prolific French artist has become so well known for. Riding out along a solid groove of rolling pacey percussions, the epic synths soon sweep in for a dramatic affair and all engulfing dance floor effect. An electrifying breakdown is central with the powerful bass and magnetic vocals coming back into play for an intoxicating sensation. Tried and tested by some of the biggest names in the business including label heads Subb -an and Adam Shelton there is no doubt this is the essential DJ weapon of the summer.

CD1: The Original Re-Edits & Remixes













CD2: More Original Re-Edits and Full Length Mix By Jacques Renault

Following on from Torquato and Boghosian's acclaimed debut on Yoruba is this, a selection of remixes diverse and interesting enough to do justice to the original LP, which received praise for the rich tapestry of musical sources it drew influence from.First up, Afefe Iku delivers a much deeper, weightier version of Paradice laden with heavy synth stabs and woody percussive elements.Aybee takes When U Touch Me - probably the standout 'club track' on the original LP - into much deeper realms, stripping back the original groove . It's remarkably simple but flawlessly executed, the chord motif working effortlessly alongside the crisp hats.
Atone tackles Zulu Girl and in the process unravels a much more mechanical track, a massive mid-tempo thud dominating over delayed cymbal crashes and ghostly vocals.

collecting for a repress !!!
New L.I.E.S! They did it again!! Check!
Just when we had our doubts about the West Coast, Los Angeles via NYC producer Delroy Edwards steps up with his debut release for L.I.E.S. Musically Edwards takes his influences from that Barney's Ghetto sound with oversaturated 909 shuffling highs, DX bells, 101 filters and ends up making fresh, and yes, melodic ghetto style tracks that somehow get stuck in your head even without vocals. A unique take on a modern classic with the dancefloor in mind.

Ibex is no more, so Tony launches NSD w/4 tracks that harken back to the late 80s, which may be appropriate, as that is when he started. Analogue bounce, acid, 707 & 727 sounds are all tweaked on this futurist look at the past.

Label boss sticks tongue in cheek & heads for the big room. Imagine Kraftwerk, Farley Keith & Daft Punk in a bar room brawl, then make up over an MPC 60 & a bag of Sour diesel

Factory Floor offer up a substantial distraction while the band put the finishing touches on their debut album, due out on DFA Records in early 2013. Their last single "Two Different Ways" is remixed by two different electronic music leaders. Richard H Kirk, co-founder of both Cabaret Voltaire and Sweet Exorcist, puts his own warped spin on the single, while Perc aka Ali Wells, takes the original and piles on his signature throbbing bass for the main remix. Perc also offers up a 'Noisy Mix' taking avant waves of feedback and noise and shaping into something unexpectedly beautiful.

Sound Signature release of the long overdue 10 track debut album of Marcellus Pittman showcasing his talents.

The first gotwax! release features label owner b-trak with a two-track EP with dub-inspired analog sounding techno and house music that invites you on a journey between the dancefloor and pure listening pleasure.
'Infinity' brings you to an ethereal space of subtly changing, reverberating chords substantiated down-low by a warm and heavy bass line combined with a tough bass drum that pushes you forcefully further towards an indefinite horizon. Driven by smooth pads, sizzling HiHats and Claps, yet minimalist all around, 'Infinity' takes you on an endless trip into the deepness of time and space.On the flipside, 'The Answer' is a more raw production where chords meet each other in a short feedback loop and the bass line gives the underlying serious reply. Claps, HiHats and a marvelous mind-bending pad nothing more, nothing less lock you into the groove with no possibility to escape. A track that is hard to resist.
Mastering & Cut by Andreas 'Lupo' Lubich at Dubplates & Mastering. Pressed by Optimal-Media each record is Hand-Stamped.

The summer is bad as always in Munich, but that's no reason to not have fun and spreading out the fire cuts. The 12 starts off with Anisa, dedicated to Marco's lady in mind and partner in wine. The eastern influences from his hood aren't easy to ignore, and if u listen very carefully u can feel and smell the shisha dust inside the Landwehr street.
In a city like Munich it's hard to rent an extra room for a studio due the extremely high prices, so we all have bedroom studios with the advantage that we can do music whenever we feel to.
However our Stressin turkish Neighbour behaves like THE pain in the ass of the whole neighbourhood.
But we all have a Vision and the Night gives us the support we need to create our own space and our own time within our own spirit on 180 g vinyl from now on with a vinyl only cut on every 12.
Twenty-three foreva!



[D] B2 | Night Vision [Vinyl Only]

The Detroit veteran and "cousin to Omar-S" known as Leonard "Big Strick" Strickland returns with the follow-up to his well-received 2011 long player, Detroit Heat. Where that largely stuck to deep house, this set casts the net much wider, offering a mixture of sparse, melodic techno, hypnotic tech house and even ambient moods (check the luscious "Days Gone") alongside Strickland's simple-bit-effective deep house. Check, for example, the classic Detroit revivalism of "Reese Cup", the chiming melodies and jackin' beats of "Code 1" and the curious piano jazz of "Slow Ride". There's also a track written with friend Omar-S, the wonderfully deep and fluid "Family Affair".

First release on vinyl for the Sicilian Aurour Records!
We have chosen for the debut of our first release on vinyl two Italian artists, new talent and owner of Wilson Records, Fabio Monesi, and the affirmed producer Mirco Violi.
The release is a good quality split, a mix of '90s underground classic sounds in Fabio Monesi's tracks, and most Deep sounds in Mirco Violi's tracks.
In A Side we can find the deeply house tracks by Fabio Monesi: "Drugsnare", energetic and by the title we can imagine that the snare leads the track."Machine", where the softer synth drags you along with the female voice In B-side we have, instead, the two tracks by Mirco Violi, where the Deep sound envelops you in a long journey through vintage sounds and hypnotic synths.Do not miss this split of pure MADE IN ITALY sound.

UK's Fudge Fingas debuts on Rush Hour with his S.V.T. EP, which includes the modern soul classic 'Snow Day'.
Fudge Fingas aka Gavin Sutherland, mostly known for his releases on Prime Numbers and Firecracker, has been quite prolific over the past few years with releases out on various labels, but when he approached us with this three track demo, it was just too good to leave it untouched.
'Snow Day' is a dream-perfect, lullaby-like, reminiscing-heavy song about a... snow day. We are not sure why, as there is not much sun in the UK last time we checked, but we are sure that this song is so hot it will melt away any cold day.'Vin 2 Win' lifts us up and reminisces us back to back to the good old days somewhere in the mid nineties when Underground Resistance was giving is their take on 21st century funk. Amazing keyboard business.'Trans Pennine Express' closes off this EP in a delightfully deep manner. A great tune to close off the night, or start up your day.Three cheers for Fudge Fingas!

Los Lopez is versatile Spanish duo Alvaro Cabana (Wonky Nights) and Marcos In Dub (GOA Parties / Highrade) and you may have noticed their monstrous remix of Catalepsia's previous release "conducting the band". Slow Grinding Techno as we like at Days Of Being Wild. 250 ea Hand Stamped.
