House Vinyl New Releases - News

Mike Clark, Detroit Beatdown founder and former UR operative Agent X, gives some love to Weather Report's wonderful River People. There are two versions on this translucent green 12". The Beatdown Rework and the House Mix. Both are stone-cold bombs. Jaco Pastorius' awesome bass line and Joe Zawinul's cascading synths primed for the dance floor. Mike has done an amazing job on a modern Jazz classic. Don't sleep on this. VINYL ONLY. Limited to 500.

Third EP in a row for the new Conte-Petrella project, which further explores the themes and sounds found on their previous collaborations, "Sun Song/Nigeria" and "African Spirits/New World Shuffle", with it's heavily West African influenced rhythms and cosmic-leaning musicality, once again with the participation of Bridgette Amofah and her incredible voice. A work suspended between joyous straight-up pary jam and spiritual atmospheres, where it's easy to get equally as lost in the driving groove as the intergalactic sound-palette that floats on top of it.

In the previous reissues we talked so much about this fantastic piece and "Marie", a very cinematic and supportive song, that now it is appropriate to dwell on the re-visited version of Danilo Braca that extends beautifully on the AA side of this new remastered reprint. Danilo who lives in the big apple often frequents Ibiza, perhaps also for this he has been able to exalt the most rhythmic elements of "Shadows from Nowhere", putting the beautiful falsetto beats to excessive movements, just like the waves that wash themselves on the sandy beaches of the White Island. His teacher Mario Gentili from Layer Bows added a beautiful arrangement for the strings and his Italian-New York collaborator Alvise Marino spread some fragments of guitar powder on top. That's it. 9 minutes of pure bliss, but also of catchy rhythm!

'VYG03' introduces a new member to the Voyage fold In Melbourne's analogue beat-maker M5K. Five tracks spanning beats, boogie, house and funk, the EP is a great snap shot of who M5K is as an artist. The flip features a heavy remix from Germany's IMYRMIND and his MPC.

Voyage returns with a six track EP from Melbourne's M5K. featuring a lush, swung-out remix by Box Aus Holz' IMYRMIND on the flip. An exploration into analogue boogie, Marcy Ave shows M5K's versatility with five tracks paying homage to his hip-hop, boogie and house roots

Maricopa makes the smoothest summer tunes in the world. On his Explorer EP, the second in Cosmic Pint Keg series, Maricopa makes no exceptions. A Journey through Mediterranean landscapes and across tops of mountains in the midday heat to the refreshing sea breeze on a midnight beach. It's a thing of beauty some are directed at the dance floor some almost chilled to horizontal.

Mind Fair return with a deadly two-part interpretation of the Joe Jackson classic 'Steppin' Out'. For their latest Rogue Cat Sounds incarnation the Golf Channel mainstays have enlisted the indispensable talents of Charmaine Baines on vocals, Climax Blues Bands' Derek Holt (Bass &Guitar) and Alex Bradbury (Sundown Drive) on keys.

This slowed down, melting pot of Soca not Soca meets Lovers Rock, Reggae, Blues and soul is brought to you in two parts Part one deals mostly with the song, Charmaine's vocals sounding suitably dreamy and laid back whilst part two puts focus on the instrumental groove where the guitars, strings and Rhodes are the main attraction.

Mark E provides one of his Merc Dubs on the flip which takes a Afro rhythm meets beat down central then builds Intensively with Rhodes and a horn section
breakdown to die for the Man is on form!

After a year of preparation on new project, we are back to Boogie your Butt again, this time is on a Samm Culley Band reissue. We are happy to bring back to your ears this giant artist, who across decade of music, with great personality had giving us so many groovy songs.

The story of TodoTodo is one of the most incomprehensible and surprising in the history of Spanish electronic music. Without doubt it is, sadly, also one of the most ephemeral. The curse that has haunted them since their forming in 1980 and during their short year and half of life is already legendary. Domestica Records did justice to the group in 2012 with a comprehensive compilation and this EP joins this initial tribute as it reimagines some of these trailblazers most representative productions: Digital Dancer and Autoga´s.
Almost forty years later, Frigio is bringing some of their music to a fresh audience. Juanpablo with his extended edit of 'Digital Dancer.' A steady kick tethers a tripping mechanical melody, a melody that bubbles and simmers as toms, horns and daring funk collide for this seven minute odyssey into the world of Iberian underground synth. The original version from 81 closes the A, a brief and brilliant piece of proto-techno. The flip is introduced by Catalan Dj, journalist and author of ¡Bacalao! Historia Oral de la Mu´sica de Baile en Valencia, Luis Costa. Costa re-imagines 'Autogas' with his Tool Edit, reshaping the off-kilter keys and future highways and byways of the original. The finale is a true treasure from the annals of time. A live version of 'Autogas' from the legendary Rock'Ola club in Madrid, an unreleased work that is as audacious and bold as it was when it was first performed in 1981.

A very expected release is finally unveiled, cold colors new ep 'leave this world behind'. this one-man project is without any kind of doubt one of the leading synthwave acts of france, frédérick barbe proved himself as a truly master into create hypnotic soundscapes on his fully analog recordings. 'leave this world behind' represents his fourth ep and again shows us what 'minimal melodic synth' music should be; perfect bass sequences, clear drum stems and that catchy cold colors pads. all tracks mastered and remastered specially for vinyl by eric van wonterghem at prodam studio (berlin).

The first loft family ep starts with an irresistible funky house track made by the label owner Rocco Detroit, continue with Alan da Funk - street house, a sample based disco track, with an old school imprints.

On the flip side Class Affairs delivered by Akyra is an hypnotic mix between break and house groove, fulfilled with smooth pads and synths that bring you to a new deep dimension.
Understand closes the ep with a powerful groove, typical of Manuold productions.

(180 gr vinyl incl. rmxs by Pharaohs, CFCF & Apiento) 'On Vacation' was hailed by many as one of the finest of 2016 so far. As ever we asked a few people we like to do some versions.
International Feel launched their minialbum series late last year and second in line was CFCF with 'On Vacation' which many hailed as one of the finest of 2016 so far. As ever we asked a few people we like to do some versions.

Pharaohs come from LA and blend Liston Smith vibes in a modern electronic context. They have released music on ESP Institute and 100% Silk. Their take on 'Pleasure Centre' is a bongo driven ride with acoustic guitars and jazz infused flute harmonics. It's a lovely thing.

CFCF himself takes on 'Fleurs laissés dans un taxi' in a beautiful balearic style. Super mellow with sweet guitar in a classic Pat Metheny style brings out the melody with the pads & syncopated drums and percussion rolling away in the background.

Apiento takes the chance to reedit 'Chasing' which was one of our favourites from the label. A little dub and an extension is all it takes to let this one breathe for a little longer.

Across the board good from International Feel. Enjoy.

Dan Shake is a full fledged member of the Lumberjack family since his contribution to the From Hell With Love compilation but we ve been waiting eagerly for his own 12" on the imprint. Here it is.

Borneo Records celebrates its return with four Italo bangers, by none other than the infamous Professor Genius also known as Jorge Velez.
The A side of this EP explores the sunny side of life with two lush melodic gems, where as the B side delivers two bass driven dance floor killers.

The Boogie Twins aka Ashley Beedle and Ray Mang have reworked and edited one of Paul 'Trouble' Anderson's biggest signature tracks.

A message from Ashley Beedle:
"My Electric Ballroom crew, that were later to become the infamous Shock Sound System, was myself, Stan Zepherin, Dean Zepherin, Paul Denton, Cecil Peters and Ricardo Da Force (R.I.P.)
We loved going to the Electric Ballroom to see the legendary Paul 'Trouble' Anderson who was killing it in there with Boogie, Electro, Hip Hop and Disco - he was such a huge musical influencer.
When he dropped 'Heaven and Earth' in the mid 80's, the joint went ballistic.

That tune ruled London and became not only a rare groove classic but remains a much loved staple of today's club scene - all because of Paul's exceptional ear for music.

„Paradiso Analogico“ is the first release on Bungalo Disco, run by Brutalo & Italo, who synchronized to create their own multi sensual universe.
10 years ago the original version has been the starting shot of Italo Brutalo.


One decade later, three of the best producers turned the song into 2020´s spirit. Ali Renault squeezes out the dark side of the track by adding some vocals and acid lines. Balearic master Ilya Santana shows why he´s one of the leading artists when it comes to cosmic disco. Slow Motion Records Head Franz Scala delivers a sure shot to hit the dancefloor.

Disco Bits are back with a couple of late night dancefloor sureshots from top notch Japanese producer Kazahaya!

Side A - High Enough
Kazahaya welds together Ain't No Mountain with Let Me Down Easy for an intense high tempo disco workout.
The track builds and builds with a killer vocal from a soul legend. There is even a heavy drums breakdown towards the end of the track. Mashups don't get better than this.

Side B - Forever
A midtempo soul workout on the flip, perfect end of night fodder. Kazahaya takes a slept on Casablanca classic and moulds it into a heavy modern soul wonder.

Five new, certified-gold disco gems from the Schatzi R&D department in Brooklyn, New York. A loving collection of throwback boogies that glimmer with a bygone era's ballroom glitz and lovey-dovey romance, that is the stuff of dancefloor love stories.
For extra texture and variation, one of these rolls towards the Italo end of the dial and another slides into goopy funk balladry.
A lot of territory explored in thirty minutes and change.

Amigos Vagabundo Club Social have truly found their voice with Pambele – three songs that marry their work over the last few years and their and the musical heritage of their upbringing on the north coast of Colombia in Barranquilla.

Pambele is a lilting, bouncy percussion workout that is a perfect homage to Colombian boxing legend.

Flip for the heads-down shuffle of Esclavo 29, sultry beats undulates up and down the groove. Angayusa closes the EP out with pure day party vibes: light and easy Rhodes, live bass, trumpet and slightly off-kilter arp.

Sky Miles Volume 1 is your round trip ticket from Stockholm to Osaka, making stops in Savannah and Rio. We expect a smooth flight, so sit back and relax.

Bobby Bricks (Dream Time, Sweden) will prepare us for liftoff. Please pay attention as our crew demonstrates the safety procedures. 'Orchid Island' is an enchanting and uplifting number that conjures images of clear skies ahead, mysterious and magical. An ideal starter to our journey.

The crew will be around shortly with drinks, so ease into Séculos Apaixonados (Future Times/40% Foda/Maneirissimo, Brazil) slow burning 'As Velas da Cantareira (DJ Guerrinha Mix)'. Low BPMs and timely synth stabs bring this bright, leisurely track from Corcovado to your turntable. Great for beginning of the night drinks or post sunrise warriors.

As we reach cruising altitude, C Powers (Sweat Equity/CGI, USA) wonky 'Sky Miles' gets you moving in your seat. The Captain has turned off the fasten seatbelts sign so feel free to dance around the cabin. Breezy production with playful percussion makes this one dance floor ready.

When we begin our descent, please make sure your seat backs and tray tables are in their full upright position.

This wonderful, Balearic tinged Disco rarity is getting the official reissue treatment finally!

Nicolette Larson's 'Lotta Love' has long been a sought after jam, with the promo only 12" version changing hands for big dough!
Mixed by the legendary Florida born and NYC dwelling mixer and DJ extraordinaire Jim Burgess, this one straddles that gorgeous line of being a bit Rock (Neil Young wrote the track) and totally Disco in all the right ways. A truly sweet slice of music here backed with a nice cover of Sam Cooke's classic standard 'You send me'.

Often bootlegged, there's been some shoddy facsimiles kicking around over the years this high quality, official, 100% legit reissue has been lovingly remastered by Above Board distribution in conjunction with Warner Brothers from the master tapes. What more can you ask for This 2018 repress is a reproduction of the 1978 WB promo only 12" complete with Warner Brothers artwork. Essential business.

It all started with a handful of cash but ended in eviction.

Always intended as a story in two parts, Jules Smith aka October's Eviction EP is the six-son follow up to his Pay Day EP, we unleashed in late 2018. An album's worth of material made 'just for Honey Soundsystem' Jules is back with his sleazy Prophet-one driven industrial disco.

As indulgent as the rave sirens and snare pummels on the title track seem, October's sheer mastery in production and studio mixing turn these tongue-in-cheek-in-your-face nightclub firecrackers into delicacies. Oh! And file 'Larry Bruce Chest Thumper' under Front 242 and i:Cube doing a line off of an iPhone together

Giallo Disco is more than happy to welcome one of the absolute O.Gs of the 2nd wave of horror synth, the one and only Kansas City Warrior turned Mr Dr Hollywood himself… Umberto, who’s new EP ‘Outskirts Of Reno’ takes us deep into the seedy underbelly to tell the tale of a kidnapping. From the EBM dancefloor darkness of The Basement to the ascension-like arps of Repeat. Five brand new tracks from the master of mood destined to work it’s way into the record bags of discerning DJs across the globe… and into the nightmares of the weak… Limited to 200 Copies. Art by Eric A Lee.

Hit-maker Mind Enterprises is back with a new mini album with new and previously released singles and remixes.
The release is a collection of the artist’s recent singles including the acclaimed and Shortlist Magazine’s top 50 singles of 2017 ‘Idol’, plus ‘Gemini’ and ‘S.H.A.K.E’, which together with current new track ‘Monogamy’ marks the unveiling of an electrifying new sound.
Obsessed with vintage synthesisers and 80s beats, Mind Enterprises (aka Andrea Tirone) has created a sound which is somehow both forward thinking and nostalgic at the same time. Think Italo Disco meets retro dance, with razor sharp modern production, and you’re half-way there. ‘Monogamy’, coupled with it’s 80s style VHS video is designed to make your feet move and your heart long for simpler times. Its irresistible groove and disjointed vocals are as instant as they are idiosyncratic.

The sweet and funky side of the Constant Sound empire is back for a third bout. Cardiology deals in the finest disco edits and deep house delights for soul-centric groovers, and so it continues with this sure-footed 12" from The Owl. "Soul on Fire" is an appropriate title for the lead track, which keeps the vibe sizzling throughout with a strictly managed dose of Philly disco magic. "Universal Funk" takes things more upfront, but still those drops hold just enough back to keep the track utterly cool. "Funk Town" gets wild on the filter with the core sample hook before dropping some sassy bass and bongo heat at the track's apex. "Concrete Soul" completes the picture with a wistful choice in samples and the nastiest b-line on the whole record.

Banoffee Pies Records return to their original white label imprint for another limited EP with BP003. TIP. Again the Bristol label continue to compile artists and styles from all over following there no f***s given approach.
The one sided A1 heavily samples a drum solo from the blockbuster film of 2015 Whiplash, a strung out track filled with space and delicate percussion. Jaffa Surfas B1 provides a mid way techno break pumped with analog sounds and a swirling kick throughout. To end, the finely unearthed and re-issued B2 edit closes this diverse release with a bang offering something completely different. Rolling jazz feelings for the dance floor. More love for the Banoffee people.

Launched in 2018 with two first EPs, Broken District continues to explore alternative music styles with the third instalment of its VA series.

The label's territory here expands to Jazz & Soul-influenced electronic music landscapes, with productions from Turbojazz, Setwun, Leon Revol, Duktus and the label's co-founders Jus Jam and Momla.

Ben Gomori delivers another two carefully-crafted reworks for Sterns Edits, both tried and tested to ensure maximum dancefloor impact.

Guinean guitar master Djessou Mory Kante's blistering style makes for propulsive dancefloor material when paired with a chunked-up house rhythm, with Gomori utilising the stems available to add subtle FX trickery to the intricate melodics of the original. The whole affair builds and rolls in incessant fashion, with another riveting bassline mirroring and counterbalancing the main motifs.

The wild sounds of Senagelese legends Orchestra Baobab's nine-minute-odyssey 'Sibou Odia' is a formidable piece of work that shows the band's stunning musicianship in fine style. With only the original track to work from and no stems, Gomori hones in on the sections where the groove is dominant and the raucous solos potently cut through. The skanking rhythms are intact, with a huge bassline pushing the proceedings forward throughout.
