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.

n August 4th 2011, the Sony Music warehouse in Enfield, North London was attacked during riots and looting that affected many areas of the capitol over the course of a week. The warehouse burned down completely, taking with it millions of CDs and vinyl stored by the distributor PIAS including the back catalogue of Freerange. The blow was devastating for many labels, with the logistics of manufacture and minimal insurance payouts meaning that recreating the entirety of their old stock was completely impossible and many releases have been lost forever as a result.
Vinyl is beloved of many not just for its retro appeal and alchemic audio qualities, but because of its physicality, the very real and tangible connection it gives you to the sound and art of music. Increasing interest in small scale and localised events like listening parties and Record Store Day proved that while vinyl might be an archaic niche interest in some respects, its power in binding together musical communities and inspiring passion and loyalty is still very real and current. Which is why we've brought together this box set of tracks from 12's lost in the fire and other music previously unavailable on vinyl: not to commemorate wanton destruction, or to mourn a loss, but to celebrate a lesson learned and a passion rekindled. Out of the ashes comes renewed determination to build for the future.
Trying to represent the label and artists from over one hundred and fifty 12's and thirty LP's was never going to be an easy task. We wanted to included a mixture of out-of-press favourites (Jimpster's Dangly Panther and Milton Jackson's Ghost In The Machines) as well as more recent digital only releases (Deetron's mix of Tony Lionni and Axel Boman's mix of Lovebirds) to give both the newcomer as well as the long-standing fan a representation of Freerange. The resulting 5 disc box set is something we're very proud of and want to send thanks and good vibes to all those DJ's, clubbers and music fans who have supported us over the years and helped enable us to do what we love to do; releasing the music we have passion for and believe in.

New Trackman Lafonte & Bon Qui Qui - Raw analogue house music!
When computer programmer and music enthusiast Lowrell "Trackman" LaFonte was relocated to a small suburb North of Santa Barbra California a chance
encounter brought him to meet Bonquiqui Pardue. As he scoured his local break to find someone with a resin patch kit to fix a fresh ding in his favorite tri-fin fishtail, Bonquiqui, dental hygienist, and also an avid
surfer just so happened to have a kit handy and a union was born. From this moment on Lafonte & Bonquiqui were inseparable, often hitting the clubs and
immersing themselves in Latin Freestyle and obscure local house productions from the smog filled Valley. As it would have it, eventually the two moved in together and began working on their own music, using strictly Casio drum machines and keyboards. Inadvertently, Lafonte & Bonquiqui pioneered a sound now known by the masses as "Surfer House." These three tracks stand as a testament to a time in California music history that can never be recreated, no matter how hard the posuers at the local break try.

Geek Emotions - the first single from forthcoming Hot Coins album, features an amazing duo of mellow house remixes from Ajukaja and Gerry Read. Ajukaja offers up a lovely take of the original, with warm, chopped up analog stabs and a perfect driving drum line, Gerry Read provides the B-side, diving into the depths of deep house and coming back with a beautiful mix of lush synths and mechanical jabs

limited edition white to 300 copies get them quick -ultra rare
urban is an essential detroit late night jam for me. i get chills hearing this. i remember when it first came out, on a double pack. very rare raw and chunky and beautiful. all these elements. this track sounds like how theo deejays, to me. tweekin the knobs, EQ-ing the bass and hi's, til we couldnt take it anymore, as he bounced his head. probably one of the most eclectic deejays. he's incredible and so is this track

Mark Henning is back! Back on Cityfox! A classic acapella and Markís distinctive sound collide, result-
ing in a huge tune, sounding old school and fresh at the same time. Not just the vocals are telling a
story here, the synths and bassline add their part to complete the track. The second original 'Trojan' is
the secret weapon and club bomb, the dark side of the release, because too much sunshine is never
healthy ... Afrilounge take it a step deeper in their mixes. The 'Back2Basic' mix features the dynamic
they are famous for, the ëFM Dope Mixí (digital only!) and its big string melody sounds as clean as and
sparkles like the sunrise itself. The ë1998 Edití incorperates the rhythms and vibes of classic House
and Techno from the era when it all began. Thick, groovy basslines and pulsing pads laid out over
infectious percussion make this track an instant classic.

The label say : Well, it's been almost 2 years since the last San Soda release on WPH. Testament to the timeless quality of his work is the fact that nobody asked us when the next one was coming, although that might have something to do with some killer remixes he did and the FCL stuff with Red D that was released since his last E.P. on WPH in 2010. Or maybe people just didn't care, it's not like our clubs are all crammed with quality music now are they

Rio Padice makes a return to Hudd Traxx with a sublime assortment of deep grooved gems in the shape of 'A Vison Of A Dream' EP, guaranteed to get you in the summer mood. The first track 'Guabonito' sets the tone with a selection of spacey synths and a BPM that teeters just on the right side of chilled with a riff that sounds just like sunshine. Following it 'Sunset on Bolsena Lake' maintains the tempo on the lower side of the scale but with a hook-y bassline that will ensure all eyes are down on the dancefloor. 'The Pains of Sleep' then changes pace, bringing you back into club-stomp territory yet still maintaining that swirling deepness we all know and love at Hudd Traxx...finally to round things off there are trippy grooves and thumping beats in the form of 'Xanadu'.

Even whilst travelling the globe, djing or touring with Inner City, Saunderson continued to produce and release not only his own tracks on his KMS label (with tracks such as 'The Sound' by Reese, 'Rock To The Beat' by Reese, 'Truth Of Self Evident' by Reese & Santonio, 'Let's, Let's, Let's, Let's Dance' by Keynotes and 'Colour Of Love' by The Reese Project), but he also released tracks by other up and coming artists, releasing classic underground gems, such as 'Flash' by Fix, 'Can You Feel It' by Chez Damier, 'Soundscape' by Kosmic Messenger, 'Definition Of Love' by Kaos and 'Use Me' by R-Tyme. The list is endless.
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....

Detroit House tracks originally released on City Boy Record.
Calling on a roster of talent that includes the much vaunted luminaries Tyree Cooper, Rick Wade and his namesake Wilhite, Scott Grooves, Terrence Parker and more you know that the Vibes & Pepper agency expanding operations to include a label means the standard of music will be high. Number three in the fledgling wax initiative arrives with the man, the myth, the maverick that is Norm Talley at the helm for the three track bumper The Westside Project. Talley fans will be all over this one for the chance to grab B Side hugger "Grove Street Shuffle" a track that originally featured on the producer's uber rare 1997 release for City Boy, and the two tracks that complement it find the Beatdown Brother in fine form. Lead track "Do What You Like" deftly weaves in some expert Voodoo Ray sampleage amidst a permanently punchy groove whilst "Greenfield Groove" has Talley in looser rhythmic mood, with busy percussion driving through a thick swamp of vocal pressure and ever twisting piano riffs.

Morgan Geist's project STORM QUEEN marks a return to his roots with an analog approach towards modern house music with a disco pedigree. 'Let's Make Mistakes' once again features the vocal talents of Damon C. Scott. Storm Queen's debut of 2010, 'Look Right Through,' became an underground hit and was reissued as a remix package by Defected Records. 2011's 'It Goes On' nearly outstripped Storm Queen's debut in popularity and was featured in countless radio and club DJ sets and charts. 'Let's Make Mistakes' extends the Storm Queen continuum at 117 BPM, slowing down and emptying out to form a sinewy, building sound sculpture with a pop song nestled at its core. STORM QUEEN physical releases will be limited-edition 12's only. STORM QUEEN is made for DJs, but doesn't sacrifice atmosphere and songwriting. STORM QUEEN owes a debt to classic house music from New York, Chicago and Detroit, as well as disco and boogie. S T O R M Q U E E N i s a l e a p o f f a i t h .

2012 sees Detroit label, KMS Records, celebrating it's 25th Anniversary.

Founded in 1987, by Kevin Maurice Saunderson, his first release was 'Triangle Of Love' produced by, 'Kreem', (just one of his many guises), little did Saunderson know, at that time, that two and a half decades later, he would still be releasing music on his KMS label.

Let's go back to the beginning... Born in Brooklyn in 1964, Saunderson moved to the picturesque Detroit suburb of Belleville, when he was nine, a different world to the urban decay of the city itself.

Saunderson has an enviable dual reputation. To the dance cognoscenti he's one of the 'Belleville Three,' (with Saunderson being the 'Elevator', Juan Aktkins being the 'Originator' and Derrick May being the 'Innovator'), the trio of friends invented Detroit Techno.

The trio met at Belleville High School where, Saunderson befriended Juan Atkins and Derrick May, who introduced him to the eclectic post-disco playlists of Detroit radio DJ Charles 'The Electrifying Mojo' Johnson. ' Johnson played disco, funk, Prince, Parliament/Funkadelic, Kraftwerk, the B52's and Tangerine Dream, to name just a few. Saunderson already had a serious love for music, but he didn't realise he was going to produce music, until then.

In his first year at East Michigan University, where he studied telecommunications, he gave up football to become a DJ himself. He took inspiration from visits to Larry Levan's Paradise Garage in New York and Frankie Knuckles' Warehouse and Music Box in Chicago. Saunderson, Atkins and May, played at campus parties, until setting up their own club in Detroit, the fabled Music Institute.

Of the 'Belleville Three' Atkins was the first to make a record, with electro group Cybotron's 'Alleys of Your Mind' in 1981, then May, with Rhythim is Rhythim's 'Nude Photo' in 1987. Inspired by his friends, Saunderson bought some basic equipment and made his own debut in 1987 with 'Triangle Of Love'. 'I just had a good ear and a good heart for music,' he says. 'Juan Atkins led me into DJing which led me into making extra beats to play in my set. Then I started learning how to play basslines, putting a lot of work in, just elevating it from there'

Undeniably, Saunderson is a gifted producer (going under guises such as Reese, E-Dancer, Tronikhouse and Reese Project), remixer and a tireless international DJ. To lovers of great pop music he's also one third of Inner City, who made regular visits to the Top 20 in the late 80s with jubilant hits like 'Big Fun' and 'Good Life', paving the way for hundreds of underground-to-chart crossover records to come.

On a visit to England in 1988 Saunderson realised that a mythology had built up around the 'Belleville Three'. To his even greater surprise, 'Big Fun' became not just a massive club record but a pop hit. He also helped to revolutionise remixing when he worked on 'We Know It' by Wee Papa Girl Rappers. Over the following decade Saunderson would continue to produce imaginative remixes for the likes of New Order, Pet Shop Boys, The Shamen, Paula Abdul and the Lighthouse Family.

Even whilst travelling the globe, djing or touring with Inner City, Saunderson continued to produce and release not only his own tracks on his KMS label (with tracks such as 'The Sound' by Reese, 'Rock To The Beat' by Reese, 'Truth Of Self Evident' by Reese & Santonio, 'Let's, Let's, Let's, Let's Dance' by Keynotes and 'Colour Of Love' by The Reese Project), but he also released tracks by other up and coming artists, releasing classic underground gems, such as 'Flash' by Fix, 'Can You Feel It' by Chez Damier, 'Soundscape' by Kosmic Messenger, 'Definition Of Love' by Kaos and 'Use Me' by R-Tyme. The list is endless.

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).

Three new and raw box tracks by Paul du Lac, who seems to be pushing his minimalistic jackin' sound palette even further. We have the fierce and autistic-tantristic dirtyness of 'Tantra Master', the Dance Mania flavoured funk of 'Childs Play', and the deep strings of the bassline-driven 'Spaces Below', a classic Chicago-inspired piece of work that seems to come from deep within... Punchy and excellent dj tools... Lo-fidelity, hi-energy!

Jefferson Velazquez remembering his Chicago days with some ëstraight no chaserí tracks. Heavy bass and synth action!

Emmanuel debutes on March 17, 2008 with Parade (Be As One), played and supported by the likes of Sven Vath, Richie Hawtin and ADAM BEYER. After this successful project Emmanuel features the main stages of the world, such as SONAR FESTIVAL 2008 in Barcelona, and the WOMB in Tokyo.
In early 2009 Emmanuel stepped up his pace and began his series of releases on top labels of Europe, including vinyl as you can remember: SHOWTIME (Get Phisical), APPLE MANGROOVE (Saved), ANYWHERE ELSE (Outpost) COFFEE SHOP and OCTOPUS (100% Pure), to the last in order of time THE VULCAN OF THE ALCHEMIST (Monique Musique) played for an entire season as CARL COX, SPRING Sword (Monique Musique) and remixes for WARM COLOGNE GABRIEL ANANDA.

Dutch master Orlando Voorn with a two-track release containing some of his pioneering material as Format. Rightly recognised as one of a handful of artists who built the early, crucial bridges between Europe and Detroit in the late-eighties and early nineties via collaborations with Juan Atkins and output for KMS, Voorn's legacy is unquestionable. Winning Holland's DMC championships in 1986 and 1987 was the real career catalyst and there seems to be no let up in quality since then, either as a DJ or a multifaceted, multi-genre producer. These two tracks are produced in 1993 and still didnt loose their magic! ''Damn Right'' and ''Jam Session'' have that the raw charm, edge and vibe sounds so current. Energetic, melodic and broken, both tracks touch on a myriad of styles but what shines through is how modern electronic styles can be traced back to this sort of fantastic, unique output. Format Remastered could be sitting snuggly alongside modern house, techno, UK Garage, UK Funky and many more 'contemporary' styles. This is a rare chance to grab beautifully treated versions of classic Voorn material.

Founded by Alex Agore and James Johnston last year, No Matter What Recordings has proved to be a potent outlet for the duo's inimitable take on crisp rolling house sounds in the label's short life to date and this fourth release maintains those standards. After two solo EPs from the respective label heads, the deftly titled A2J2 EP mimics the label debut with a pair of productions from both, with Berlin resident Alex Agore calling shotgun. Muddy vocals and old school piano lines soar through the shamelessly vibing pump of "Come On" while "Take Me" has Agore in a deeper frame of mind, unfurling the various melodic textures with aplomb over a crashing beat. Not to be outdone, JJ opts for a rawer swinging approach with "Stand Up & Jump" utilising a similar cut up vocal sound which gets increasingly submerged amidst the thick, twisting groove. "Not So Easy" might just be the pick of the bunch however, swamping the intricate drum programming in a rich melange of Motor City Soul that sucks you right in.

killer return from RAW FUSION, with ART BLEEK kicking it big time with a bumping track somewhere between "deep burn" and "la ritournelle" with a definit dancefloor appeal. b side gets a more chicagoan tip on charleston blues, followed by a personal fav of mine on the deeeeeeep "outerspace soul" on a more balearic tip.

"After All", the successful song produced by Franck Roger and Mandel Turner originally released in October 2011, is back this year with a number of remixes. Flying the French flag are remixes from D'Julz and Seuil. Joining the French team is Burnski, the young English Berlin-based DJ/Producer who recently rocked Real Tone Records with his latest collaboration with MANIK "You Know What It's Like". Each coming with their own flavour, D'Julz, Seuil and Burnski all add their individual style to "After All".

Human Woman is the new signing on hfn music, made up of two very promising artists from Iceland; Gisli Galdur (aka Galdur) of prolifi c Icelandic band Trabant, and producer Jón Atli Helgason (aka Sexy Lazer).

As if Futureboogie would leave you without a fix for long, the Bristol imprint is back with another new signing for their tenth release, DJs and musical magicians Last Waltz. Their debut release 'Trinket' is a thrilling cosmic ride featuring a remix from London party dynamos Bad Passion.
Opening track 'Trinket' brings a kinetic tempo and dancefloor pulse but leads into the running futuristic theme with offbeat glockenspiels, distorted pools of bass, shooting synths and dramatic piano motifs. Next track 'Ashes' is a cosmic voyage for the open road. Arpeggiated keys and chugging beats imbue a filmic, epic feel and the deep, sprawling bass and expansive melody create a magnificent tension as swirling pads keep the atmosphere dreamy and the percussive workout builds layers and depth.
On remix duty, the London based collective Bad Passion deliver a more stomping club work out of 'Trinket' with rolling tribal drums, bells and a manipulation of the melody whilst retaining the high cinematic drama of the original with soaring strings. Hailing from the North East, the Bad Passion boys Chris Stoker, Andy Bainbridge and Dan Mitchell have spent the past four years gaining a loyal following for their underground club night of the same name and have started producing original material together as well as various solo projects all of which will be revealed via their own imprint.

A new 1track! Produced by John Daly and its one of the best tracks we know from his hands! A beautiful melodic track rooted in the best Chi-town traditions sophisticated with Daly's modern production skills. Recommended!

Expanding on its global mandate, Culprit touches down in Germany in its talent search. Essen-based Ahmet Sisman is the next new artist to be added to the label's burgeoning clan of contributors, with 'Dance with the White Rabbit' EP - two originals of sparkling and exciting electronic house. Nico Lahs and Audiofly, long friends of the label, add their skills and charisma remixing the anthemic title track.
Ahmet Sisman is exactly the kind of a producer Culprit is becoming known for supporting - young yet experienced, bubbling-just-under-the-surface artists on the verge of exploding into a wider dance music consciousness. Though still a relative newcomer, Sisman has been making quite an impression with releases for such big guns like Cocoon, Dumb-Unit and Lessizmore over the past 4 years. Ahmet immediately staked a claim to a sound distinctly his own, that infuses the European electronic music tradition with influences spawned by his upbringing in Turkey. Best known for slightly darker tech-house sound so far, for his debut Culprit release Sisman brings his melodic talent to the fore. Yet another producer inspired by Culprit's chosen sonic palette, Sisman unleashes two songs that merge keen dance floor sensibility with warm electronic currents, underpinned by euphoric synthesizer warmth and subtly soulful influences that interpret the label's sound in unique ways.
'Dance with the White Rabbit' is one of the most unabashedly big and anthemic songs ever to be come out on Culprit, with its layers of sweeping synth melodies, a vocal hook and explosive dynamics surely made for some of the more tasteful big rooms this summer. 'Hello to Alice' is a moodier and more rhythmically forceful counterpart to the A side, its warm Juno chord-driven middle perfectly Culprit. The dancefloor damage done by both originals is undeniable.
Audiofly land a remixing hand with a typically low slung and groovy take, its bassline and disarmingly unaffected vocal supremely effective. This slightly wistful yet compulsively hip-swaying version will find favour among the early or late night denizens. Back on the label after his memorable 'Lost In My Soul' was released last year, Nico Lahs offers an immaculately smooth and melodic take on 'Dance', certain to impress the many fans of the Italian electronic Deep House sound, whose other proponents Tale of Us, Clockwork have been taking the discerning dancefloors by storm

The weighty sounds of D'Marc Cantu have been rumbling out on MOS DEEP's 10" series for sometime. We are very pleased to see this full album dropping. More info soon...

Solid Detroit fuelled tracks. Quality, underground techno on red vinyl. Early support by Mark Broom, Dubfire, Gerd, Darko Esser

In recent times it has been fashionable for European producers to try and recreate the classic sounds of Detroit. The true vibe and feel can surely only come from the City itself As his name suggests, whilst we know very little about Anonym, we do know that he hails from the legendary Motor City, and the true essence of his home town can be heard and felt in his music. Classic sounds constructed with a modern touch. Gritty, raw and crying out for sweaty basements.

Our 50th Anniversary Release is dedicated to all of our artists, friends and supporters helping us to gain this reputation of a proper freestyle label over the years!

So real After the excellent received "deep, raw and real" part 1 and 2 (with the likes of Motor City Drum Ensemble, STL and Anton Zap) it's now time for more - part 3 and 4 are coming!

Steve Summers bangs out four new tracks on his Analogous Desires EP. Summers takes his usual palette of analog machines and creates a new feel for the four tracks on this
record. Large Juno basslines, dreamy string leads, and big roomy 707 hits Analogous Desires combines classic elements of Chicago, Detroit, and New York house sounds with some dreamy soundscapes.

Brooks Mosher's return on Dolly with three hot new tracks, with his trademark analog synths and catchy hooks all present, effectively shape-shifting between moody Detroit / classic Chicago house and just plain & uplifting comtemporary underground club music. Three tracks that will unite dancefloors worldwide.

remastered and repressed

The latest offering from Jacques Renault and Marcos Cabral's On the Prowl features the work of Evan Stalker, a Los Angeleno who's a visual artist by day and a production wiz by night. The four songs included on this 12' are meticulously-layered, lusciously-arranged deep house jams of the highest quality.
The record kicks off with 'Parkway,' the chillest of the package. It's an easy, swinging tune that ebbs and flows like the Pacific during high tide with jittery synth ditties dancing off the atmospheric washes.
The A2 is Runaway's remix, and while they leave the original structure mostly intact, they add some oomph to the bass kicks and distort the melodies, fuzzing and glitching them out to yield a more hard-edged final product.
The flip's first tune, 'Downtown,' is, as the name implies, of a more urban nature, and definitely intended for a late-night warehouse rager. Anxiously, the song pushes ahead with an aggressive, pumping bass line and frantic, sharp synth chords, assertive handclaps, and a hi-hat that's got plenty of swagger.

It's been a long time coming but House Sound is back with its fourth release. Nicholas' label brings together five emerging talents for a huge 12 release. Mat Chiavaroli and Massimo Di Lina take care of the A side with two low down deep house grooves. The B-side is a funky affair with tracks from Jordan Peak, Bubbin' Dub and Yuri Shulgin. Absolute killer!

For our 5th release on secretsundaze we are very happy to welcome back Jamie Taylor, more commonly known as Flori to the fold. Of course some may have already heard Secretsundaze 003: 'Shelter', a charming track Flori wrote with sometime partner and friend Ethyl, both regular guests playing at secretsundaze from our 10th Birthday Party in London to Sonar, that came complete with a more technoey Rolando remix. Well he's back already, this time flying solo with the 'Lucy' 12".

Slowly it's all over town, Chymera's second album 'Death By Misadventure' is about to be released. Genre-wise it is difficult to name as Chymera plays with styles like Detroit, Deep-House, Breaks and even Electronica. However, the common denominator is the typical feeling Chymera is able to create, which he took to another level during the album process. As a whole, the album is a cinematic wall of sound, more relaxed than you might expect from him, but still dominated by tunes with imperative grooves and alluring synths. One of them is 'Strange Things Are Afoot', an upbuilder which captivates straight from the beginning, right towards the break, where the emotional element - the typical Chymera synth - puts you under a spell. A perfect tastemaker for the album. On the flip side, we are happy to have two highly valued artists from the infamous Delsin imprint as remixers: Conforce and Claro Intelecto. Conforce's remix treatment is a classic Detroit stomper with a manic groove. Timeless from beginning to end. Claro Intelecto, who has just released a wonderful album on Delsin, goes deep with his remix. Strong in the beats and sophisticated in the sounds, he brillantly rounds up this release.

Tact Recordings offers up the first in its annual Various Artist EP's entitled, 'Tactics Volume 1' featuring tracks from Isherwood, Per Bojsen & Luke Black...

Early support from Delano Smith, Rene Breitbarth, Delano Smith, Ame & Iron Curtis...

The third man to take the baton in Delsin's new house aligned sub-series is Helsinki's Trevor Deep Jr. The man himself states his sound is "somewhere between Detroit deepness, classic Chicago house and the moody soundscapes of Helsinki, something backed up by the three new tracks offered here.

2 limited edition remixes that have been excting dancefloors around the world on a few CDR's for about a year finally get a ltd edition release... French re edit legend Pilooski takes the track to NYC's legendary Paradise Garage in a dubbed out mid eighties electronic disco frenzy, The Real Alternative twist up the original ... adding extra vocals and looping and editing the track into a 10 minute dancefloor killer...

Nil, which translates to zero, was designed precisely with the idea in mind; the idea, in which, everything is given life from nothing. This absolute nothingness allows us to create our most beautiful ideas. Nil knows no boundaries and hopes to create beauty from every corner where nothing exists. With unlimited possibilities, Nil hopes to bring to you quality electronic music of all shapes, sizes, and tones.
Nil goes across the Atlantic and into the heart of Romania, where
Marsomatic700 takes the helm for their first release and brings to you their
debut ep, Ce Zici.

The title track has Kenny Larkin Vibes, with the Max D style cosmic twists we love down here. Slick is sick too! Features a remix from another certified hemp eater, Terekke, who amazed us with awesome White label on L.I.E.S. last year...Killer package on this excellent label.TIP!
Future Times presents a new Max D 12", with a remix by Terekke! Max is back from the jungles of "Polo", and he's shed some of the atmosphere to make two cuts in full precision mode. "Orgies Of The Hemp Eaters" swings between Sakamoto romanticism and classic bass euphoria while the drums almost snap the track apart. Terekke, fresh off hot wax on NYC's L.I.E.S. label, steps in next with his "Can't Get Enuff Mix" and punishes with a smudged version. B-side "Slick" streamlines the flow into a taut, intricate frenzy - a meditation on melody and the pure bliss of machines.

Here it comes, straight from the heart, the CARRY ON theme by the masters of all things House: MOTORCITYSOUL. The sanguine composition comes in two original versions, as each member of the well regarded production duo brings forth an individual approach on the topic.

Following on from the massively popular 'Philadelphia International: The Re-Edits' package, here is the 2nd release in our special 'Philly 40' campaign which is celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Philadelphia International Records. Welcome to the hugely anticipated 'Philadelphia International Classics: The Tom Moulton Remixes'.

Tom Moulton's involvement with Philadelphia International spans the entire 40 years of their existence with many of his early mixes unaccredited in the era before the 12' Disco Disc. In 1977 PIR released the ground-breaking historic original double LP 'Philadelphia Classics' which featured 8 ofTom Moulton's greatest PIR mixes. The album has subsequently been reissued several times and is rightly hailed as a 'must have' classic for ANY serious music lovers' collection.

Vanguard Sound is back with it's newest record. Chris Mitchell's Phrenetic EP! is Vanguard Sound's second release.
Coming on the heels of the wildly popular Vanguard Sound vol. 3, this EP continues to uphold the aesthetic created with the first release, while simultaneously expanding it. The Phrenetic EP features four tracks from the mind and studio of a quickly rising North American talent that all walk the fine line between house and techno. All are very complex rhythmically, with both banging drums, and lush tones. A perfect 3 way marriage of classic Chicago, Detroit, and New York vibrations, the record contains set peaks, as well as transitional tracks that allow DJ's to traverse from house to techno and back. Already receiving massive amounts of positive feedback, this EP is proving to be a more than worthy follow up to VS001.

The ava. family gets bigger! Splitted into 2 parts, the concept -Köln- combines the most versatile House acts of Cologne. Damiano von Erckert, Murat Tepeli, head of YORE Andy Vaz, Funkycan, Ugly Drums, Martin Beume and Harry Swinger aka Superswinger of Rush Hour. Each of them combine one thing: Cologne and from now on -ava.-. Here we are with another piece of good fresh House & Techno productions from one of the most promising labels from Germany! As always plugged in handmade cover!

Following up the superb recent GDX release, Austria's Phlox label teams up with Italian producer Hydergine for a brilliant EP of dub techno featuring a remix from Group Niob.
Austrian label Phlox was launched in 2009 by electronic music veterans Martin Sovinz and Gerhard Potuznik with the clear intend of releasing quality underground music with little regard for genre. In the intervening years the imprint has put out a string of outstanding singles and build a solid fan base for its eclectic approach.
The latest release from Phlox sees the label teaming up with young producer Roberto Corizzo AKA Hydergine for a follow up to his debut 2011 single on Separate Skills. Corizzo hails from Southern Italy where he has immersed himself in electronic music from an early age, forging a love of dub techno guided by the sounds of Basic Channel, Maurizio etc. Now he sits among Italian contemporaries such as Lucy & Decoside as a respected proponent of Italy's burgeoning deep techno scene.
The 'Cosmic Synegism' single offers up three brand new original tracks from Corizzo in the shape of 'Quadrant System', 'Perpetual Moon' and title track 'Cosmic Syngerism'. The three cuts each delve into the hypnotic realm of deep and dubby techno, dripping with tape delay and bordered by razor sharp percussion they are a brilliant example of quality techno, lovingly produced. The package is closed with a superb remix from label bosses Sovinz & Potuznik under their Group Niob moniker, here they take apart 'Cosmic Synergism' and rework it into a deep yet intense remix that is a perfect closing piece.
This is another sterling single from a label who can be looked to for quality with each and every release.

Limited white label 12" from Chicago's Ike Release. 3 tracks of foggy, saturated house hinting only slightly to the past while remaining firmly in the present. Comes with a stripped to the bone remix by Hakim Murphy. Limited to 200. No repress, no digi.

Joey Negro compiles pure ghetto funk from Washington DC...
GoGo Get Down is the latest compilation from Dave Lee aka Joey Negro to be released on the Z Records label. A mammoth and rare retrospective of Washington DC's spectrum of Ghetto Funk, this collection showcases the visionary side of the GoGo scene while bringing its key artists the modern exposure they deserve.
Joey Negro gives us an insight into the vintage rhythms and chiming cowbells as well as the dedicated soul screams that pierce through the retro soul rhythm that gives GoGo its distinctive sound.
GoGo Get Down is a must for have any serious soulful record collector' Jazzie B, March 2012
These GoGo tracks certainly brought a smile to my face. I have a monthly conversation with Ross Allen regarding the GoGo revival which we both think will happen. Wishful thinking! So it's great you guys are doing a comp of GoGo killers which in the scheme of things could prove us both wrong. A fantastic selection and believe me I shall be throwing down very hard! Put your hands up for D.C.!' Ashley Beedle, March 2012

[bJ] CD 2-10 | Jim Bennett & His Bumpin' Crew - Bump & Roll (Give Up The Funk)

Inspired by an in-depth conversation that questioned the level of importance that today's society does or does not place on itÂ's art forms. An open-ended letter, in 4/4 format that shares the passion of this conversation. 4 tracks.

Out of the blue comes this expansive Lord Of The Isles 5 tracker! Fresh from his release on Japanese label Ene, LOTI throws a curveball and gives us the third installment in the Unthank series. Synth sketches, floating ambience and warehouse tracks, taken from a hard drive that time forgot.

New York based producer returns to Rush Hour with a new single with FaltyDL & Tom Trago mixes!
Policy is part of a new wave of NYC house and electronic producers, alongside FaltyDL, Braille and
Machinedrum (the latter two also record together as Sepalcure). He debuted last year with his
'Specialty Party' single on Rush Hour.
Policy is spending a lot of time in the studio to shape his sound and work on his debut album
'Everything Hits'. As a taster we are now releasing 'One Last Time' in its orginal format as well as
remixes of Amsterdam's Tom Trago and fellow New Yorker FaltyDL.
'One Last Time' reveals Policy's background as a cinematographer as the track has a very cinematic
feel to it, as does most of his music. Though its is an emotive piece with a strong theme, the drum
track is fierce and gives the track a futuristic vibe. Its house music redefined and we love it. We
can't wait to hear more music of.. Policy!
To spice things up, Tom Trago teams up with studio partner Maxi Mill and delivers a tough, stripped
down 909 house version. FaltyDL on the other end went exploring in electronic adventure land and
turn up with a really exciting and fresh composition. Mind bending stuff!

A brand new 12'' filled with some very introspective and deep tracks, of what we consider simply pure & honest house music! With a slight techno feel that is... By the mysterious French producer 'RTX'. Sweet release!

Volume two - a 9 track compilation of previous Sound Signature releases, one track is unreleased. Tip!!

Not only is this EP Gerry Read's debut association with Delsin, but so too does it mark the launch of a new house-focussed series from the Dutch imprint.
Mysterious and 19 year old Read had quite the year in 2011. On Ramp sub-label Fourth Wave he unleashed a trilogy of EPs which toyed with a rough and ready house and techno template, sampling anything and everything and chucking it all together into sketchy yet essential tracks which made you feel, think AND dance.

Art Department releases their latest anthemic monster of a single - 'Living The Life', pre-empting their highly anticipated artist album 'The Drawing Board' released in April

After a 5 year gap, Vince Watson released what is now his 7th! album to the world in March to great critical acclaim.5 years is a long time to wait for something...but some things in life are worth waiting for.
Here on this EP, Vince has selected 3 of the albums tracks, as well an exclusive. Starting with a club version of the album's title track, Every Soul Needs A Guide. Its got roots in House, Techno and Latin Jazz, but in reality its a fusion of all of the above and displays some wonderful production techniques along the way.

Vault Series is a cheeky little series where Rush Hour drops never before released tracks and mixes from its vaults as well as tracks which are in dire need of a re-release.
The series kicks off with an unreleased track by the mysterious Duster Valentine. An anthemic disco track that, with its catchy piano loop, pays homage to the golden days of New York house music. Music that will make you sweat!

Serious 'outside-the-box' house tracks on the Giegling sublabel again! Great strings and chords, weird samples & vocals and steady beats, deepness, groove, fun and even a bit of melancholy: it's all there. Garanteed to create a stir on the dancefloor.

Gerry Read drops an exclusive 12' for RSD, propping up his Fourth Wave trilogy and Delsin EP with the tough 'Rhino' & 'All The Time'. 250 copies worldwide. Hand stamped.

Having announced the expansion of the Vibes & Pepper brand into record label ownership in consummate style with a timely reissue of the seminal Claude Young & Terrence Parker EP The 4 Play, the Parisian operation now is proud to present the new school of bumping house talent in the shape of Tomska. The Belgian producer has been steadily cutting his production teeth over recent times, with a few select remixes and releases that showcase his love for the sounds of Chicago and Detroit, something that is explored with aplomb on the four track Mental Raw EP. From the opening bars of "Let's Get It On" Tomska shows undeniable ease for combining emotive melodies with a crisp and contemporary treatment of rhythms, with the snapping "Everynight" a particular highlight.

Since celebrating his 19th year on this planet, Gerry Read delivers the second in his trilogy of 12 inches for Fourth Wave. Conjuring up spacious and otherworldly landscapes, 'We Are' is both awkward and delicately beautiful. 'Narry' rounds this release off straddling the void between euphoric 4am dancefloor wooziness and ethereal morning after come down.

With a release on German label Philpot already under his belt, Roman Rauch delivers his first release on the MAMSW series with the deep, hypnotic, house grooves of 'Theme From Haze' and the Detroit influenced 'Birth Of Memory', that comes with a remix from rising Italian production talent Nick Anthony Simoncino (Skylax/Mathmatics).

After the fresh sound from Stereociti, the Mojuba veteran Nick Solé who is responsible for the great "minimal summer" and the fabulous "world dubbing" is back with a new adventure in deep house music.

It seems that dance music is an everlasting quest for new and fresh hybrids. Dimitri Batsis aka Dans Mon Salon, introduces a work which will be loved by music enthusiasts and dj's alike on the upcoming Amplify label. His attempt to 'renovate' all rave feelings of the early 90's is obvious while keeping it fresh and contemporary.

White Rabbit's Giovanni Damico is a house producer from Italy. His style is hard to define as all tracks have their own original concept. It is the love for music that you can instantly hear in Giovanni's perception of house music. House music is dancemusic and the feel in the drums and use of samples make sure of that.

The last record in wunderkind Gerry Read's trilogy of 12 inches arrives to round off the first stellar year for Fourth Wave.

Not as discoid as you might expect, this strictly limited (150 copies) mystical formula of mutant electronica and twisted technoid funk mixes up today´s club floor reality with shock tactics and says - FU** OFF!' to any smash hit attitude that covers round the corner.

Last year he released his debut album 'Dettmann' to high critical acclaim. In the meantime he's also building the profile of his own label MDR, and of course he stays one of the most in demand remixers around.

Wbeeza slowly becomes one of the new house producers from the UK that establishes himself as on of the guys that always delivers hotness

Ratio~music invites Marco Gegenheimer, from Barcelona, to be the first artist to do a full 12" on Ratio~music. Two tracks of pure deepness and emotions have been delivered. Side A 21:4 (The IPS Prayer) is all about losing that one love and is a sentimental piece of house music while Mystical Crossings on the flip is all about the mystical and divine aspects of life.

Ok we can do a long text here... but lets not do that.... Fantastic track by Recast (aka Fluxion)! A blissed-out track that is lush and jazzy! The experience of years of precision crafting dubby tech soundscapes is brought to these tracks, which are grooving House vibes executed in the melodic but quirky manner of Isolee or Luomo.
