House News

Here we present Good Vibrations, the debut EP on Local Talk from Canadian producer Orazio Fantini.
The best thing with this EP is that it's simply straight up house music that is both deep yet raw and funky all at the same time.
Basically, its very Local Talk ;)
First track 'To The Ball' starts off with a bubbling bass line, followed with shuffling hi-hats and swinging beat that's glued together by glistering synth stabs, infectious to say the least. Turn the record over for 'Feel it' which showcases Fantini's clever use of vocal samples blended together with the perfect swing and last not but not least, 'On Hold' is a stripped track but with all the necessary elements to make the feet move.

More space age melancholic sounds for the second instalment of the Craigie Knowes Universal Broadcast series. Electro to Techno across 4 celestial beats.

Roberto Bosco delivers his debut for ART. A double pack of serene dub influenced Techno including elements of tribal percussion layerd over hypnotic extended arrangements. After esteemed releases on Mowar, Wave, Falkplatz and more - Bosco brings the unique flavour of southern Italian Techno via Berlin.

Here we have VOLUME 2 of the FROM CHICAGO TO DETROIT series. This 5 tracker contains unreleased 90's grooves by LARRY HEARD & GARI ROMALIS who opened for DERRICK MAY at the legendary MUSIC INSTITUTE! The B Side features CHI-TOWNS very own GENE HUNT & AFRICAN WITH MAINFRAMES. Limited copies!

Asymmetrical code is the evolution of what is known as techno today. The "Code" or song, takes you on a journey to the future of the past where you can find an alternate "you" through contemporary realities and soundwaves.
Starting in 2013 as an underground label with no public releases, the main goal of Fragmento & Tracy (Owners) was to find and collect the perfect sound, ambients, and grooves to carry you to the musical meaning of Asymmetrical Code. On this journey the listener is also accompanied by visual stimulants created by the Label, to influence or facilitate the mind to wander and build a new creativity within you.
In this opportunity we have the pleasure to introduce in the A.C.R.002.V. artists such as ENDLEC - Fragmento - Ryuji Takeuchi - Tracy&MTD.
Stay tuned for the A.C.r. 003 .V.

BOO WILLIAMS' "MOON MAN'S RETURN" sees HEADPHONIQ issue its 10th release! This track comes from the same time period as BOO's "MARS" track. JORDAN FIELD's "1986 IN THE MIX" is classic jack. HEADPHONIQ represses STEPHANE VERA's "SITBACK" & MR. FEELING's "PINK SUNSHINE" close out the EP.

Aus Music bring a summer of firsts to a close as they follow up records from the newly collared Recloose, Trevino and Paul Woolford with another new addition to the team: Tom Trago. The Rush Hour regular joins the ranks with 'Being Broke' - a bright and groovy four-track aimed straight at the dance floor of this season's closing festivals. The A side offers up an original and dub version of the title track - a bumping House groove built with playful vocal samples and nifty synth lines. On the flip are two version of 'Good Lies' - the first rolling out over its elongated duration with sharp, galloping hats and free-flowing Rhodes notes. Tension begins to develop as the track steadily snowballs gathering vocal snips and a menacing bass line while the 'Good Christian Edit' offers up a lighter, more early-doors affair bringing a nicely rounded package to a close.

After making a sunny debut on Aus back in May 2016 - Brooklyn based luminary Recloose readies his second 12 for the label and in doing so enlists the help of Mara TK of Electric Wire Hustle, Ezrakh and Son of Sound of House 2 House and Strictly Rhythm fame. His 'Spirit Knows' EP adds to a catalogue of more than 20 years - one that's touched the likes of Planet E, Rush Hour and Peacefrog and in a similar vein to 'Honey Rocks' - his latest offering comprises 3 eloquent cuts of House Music and carries with it a balmy sense of soul that fans both old and new will relish.

A Dj. since 93. A producer since 98. A true student of the music/culture. Amir founded Vanguard Sound in February 2006. After making his presence felt in the Chicago club scene via a meteoric rise culminating a Dj watch feature in Chicago's 5 magazine, he completely disappeared and went beneath the underground to focus solely on advancing his production skills.

Soon after linking up with G. Marcell and Hakim Murphy he began to release gritty tracks that have been charted and played by underground Dj's world wide. His fourth release was the sleeper classic 'Experience ep' a 4 tracker with Amir on side a, and G. Marcell on side b.

Encouraged by the feedback, Amir then submitted tracks to New York city's Plan B Recordings. The rest is history as they say.......

Recording under the name Amir Alexander and the pseudonym Guerrilla Soul! this cat strives to bring a raw and gritty modern spin on classic Detroit, Chicago, and New York underground sounds.

PRESS


Andrew Ryce (Resident Advisor)
"Dazed And Amazed" leaves me pretty Dazed & Amazed... HAR HAR HAR. Love the shuffling
garage percussion, wobbly basslines, vocal samples.. what a dreamy tune. "Everybody's
Beautiful" is the same deal, though a bit more straightforward -- but the bassline, subtly bumping
underneath the drifting beats, and those synths.. I'm melting! Acid Mix is good too, adds a little
bit of oomph but doesn't stomp all over what made the original mix so pleasant. Stellar EP.


Joshua P. Ferguson (Time Out Chicago)
Chicago love! I dug Alexander's release with Argot, and this is just further evidence that he's a
Windy City voice we should be hearing a lot more of.


Patrick Schutz (Groove, DE)
promising


Ryan Keeling (Resident Advisor)
Tidy drum programming. More heat from AA.


Stephen Titmus (Resident Advisor)
nice


Thilo Schneider (Groove, DE)

Marcus Barnes (The Independent/ RA/ Ibiza Voice)
Aciiiiiiiieeeeeeeed!


Contakt (XLR8R)
Loving that vocal sample on Dazed and Amazed. Super catchy!


Spooks (Trap Magazine, Bristol UK)
Everybody's Beautiful is doing it for me, the original's a really nice warm-up track and the Acid
mix is nicely bubbling. Supporting for sure.


Seb (Mixmag)
thanks!


Michael Wilson (DJ Mag)
really good once again the Hype delivers the quality


Steve Mizek (Little White Earbuds)
Thanks, will make available to LWE staff for potential review.


Bleed (De:Bug, DE)

Roual Galloway (Faith Fanzine)

Sebastien M (Hyponik)
Loooove the Acid mix. The other two are decent, pensive and thoughtful, definitely growers.

powerful it hurts!

Forbidden Colours and Eduardo De La Calle join forces again, this time for a solo ep from De la Calle.
Colour Planet Corporation contains 3 original trippy and minimalistic cuts.
To wrap things up, label boss El_Txef_A made a dusty remix that brings a perfect balance to the release.
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes in you once again

Myles Sergé is back with his latest addition to the (MS) series "Everything In Darkness Comes To Light". This two-part saga embodies the very essence of minimalism, conceived in the true "raw" (MS) form... Deep, dark and very personal.

A heavy, heavy remix package here from Hypercolour. Step forward Bonobo, Kowton and Dark Sky, who all contribute stellar remixes of Maya Jane Coles' 'Don't Put Me In Your Box' EP, originally out in 2011. Bristol's Joe Cowton AKA Kowton plucks for 'Parallel Worlds' from Maya's EP to get the once over, opting for a dancefloor-centric re-work. Stripping things right back with big, distorted drums and strobe like percs, the Idle Hands and Livity Sound man affords us with a real sweat soaked warehouse banger of a remix. Dark Sky have been firing on all cylinders of late, releases on Tectonic and 50 Weapons, collaborations with Breach... and their remix of 'Something In The Air is underpinned with a rattling 4/4 groove and big subby sweeps, retaining the original's melodic touches. Bonobo seals a huge period of activity, including a rack of acclaimed albums for Ninja Tune, with an ethereal and sublime take on 'Something In The Air'. The remix cinematically sweeps over you, its rising melodies and tight percussions making this a standout job from Bonobo and a fine closing to a big remix package!

Heavily 313 influenced tracks from Mattia Trani for honorary Detroiter Orlando Voorn's Nighttripper Records. Comes with excellent remixes by Juan Atkins and DJ Stingray. Don't miss!

Here it is! Future Beat Alliance's legendary Hidden Emotion album!
Originally pressed back in 1997, but just some few white label promos were made and it was never given a full proper release. This is a real timeless UK underground treasure featuring 9 absolutely stunning productions, all filled with warm emotions from the beginning to end.

The time has come for another artful Something Vinyl. Influenced by strong orbital gravity forces, STL aka Stephan Laubner transmits deep and moody generated soundwaves once again from his headquarter place out into the world. These 12 inches are able to maneuver eventful emotional vibrations from out of morphic fields and active surroundings, steep surely and on-target, straight home and interior. With three dimension-bending tracks, this release lifts off and comes in queue with, and on top of the existing vast beauty of the Something catalog - which in abstract channels actually and already can give soulfood possibly forever. SVS29 continues to hold on functional proven techniques and sense-intensities and includes besides genuine new never heard reality checking digs, some well known rare energy loaded twists, remastered today. It shouldn't be unmentioned that this Vinyl comes in limited quantities, and as usual in good shape with an unmistakable drowned tonal aesthetic, that will resonate deep & low till the edge of imagination. With a far visionated flair and an awareness for primary instincts, Something Vinyl Series 29 is taking you through the hatch of space and time in order to make you feel, dance and excite your sweeping senses. Now please enjoy and groove in!
