House Vinyl New Releases - News

Call for all fans of 'Baja Degli Angeli' a true temple for the development of the clubbing culture, as we know it today. DJ Tom Sison and Bob Day, later replaced by Daniele Baldelli and the legendary DJ Mozart, have left an indelible mark that keeps on dreaming those who have personally experienced it, and the many young people clinging to the stories and to some crucial record like 'Land Of Death'

We are proud to present to you part II of cult status Büro-Hahn Edits. Bell Towers gifts us w/ five

Volume 2 of retakes of C Cat Trance's unique post-punk meets world beat brings the collaboration between Malka Tuti and Emotional Rescue to a close. Here again, the label's call in a selection of heads to re-envisage a modern vision of the music to present a perfect representation for today.

Starting with Red Axes retake of an almost untouchable classic, the booming, sound system-quaking version of Shake The Mind is a heads down mover that should add to their reputation and finally give DJ's a follow up to utilise.

Next, Jamie Paton gives the perfect trance-inducing, dubbed edit of Take Me To The Beach. Looping the drums and horns infinitum, building through repetition was never truer, before release. His individual take on remixes is again displayed, deep dubs from the brethren.

To close the 2 EPs, the final side is given to a meeting of older and established artist and new, upcoming, but already respecting crew. In Prins Thomas, the psychedelic protagonist of the heralded northern disco lights, his name was first to be penciled. His live, drum-heavy reversions have become trademark and in Sudaniyya, it's all there. Subtle, confident and alluring, Thomas builds to a steady jam of machine and man, letting it all hang and simply, groove along.

In finale, Khidja bring in friend and fellow Romanian production rising star, Borusaide to cover Simple Helen. A slow-burning ode in original form, their genius reversion captures the essence and much more, giving C Cat Trance's music a whole new lease, while presenting their production talent and musicianship. As was the hope and intention of these updated versions - Re-mixes for the 21st Century - with a nod to the past, but feet firmly in the future. Play loud and play out.

Kalita Records are proud and honoured to announce the first
ever and official reissue of Kallaloo's sought-after 1982
disco single 'Star Child', accompanied by interview-based
liner notes. Originally released on Jeffrey Turpin's
Trinidadian record label IDA, 'Star Child' has since become
highly sought-after by both DJs and collectors alike as an
invisible, yet astonishing piece of Caribbean disco. Unable
at the time to gain the traction and success that it deserved,
we hope that this re-release provides an opportunity to bring
such a great record to a much wider audience.
Kallaloo consisted of various Trinidadian musicians including
Keith Alexander and Peter Wayne Barkley. Keith had been
well-respected as a member of the Trinidadian group Impact, and
was later to become an in-demand producer and composer under
the name of Keith Diamond, responsible for various hits by Billy
Ocean, Donna Summer, Starpoint and Melba Moore. In contrast,
Peter was a well-known recording session drummer, but after
'Star Child's' release he moved to North Carolina to pursue other
interests and 'was never heard from again'.
'Star Child' was recorded at Right Track Recording, in mid-town
Manhattan, New York. As Jeffrey recalls, the atmosphere in the
studio was 'great', with 'everyone upbeat, the cream of the crop
just looking for that break... everyone was talented and just
wanted the chance to express their own ideas'. Five hundred
copies of the record were released on IDA with a white label
design, and they were sold both in Brooklyn, New York and Port
of Spain, Trinidad. It was also released on a red label, however
this was not to Jeffrey's knowledge at the time.
Jeffrey explains that the reason why the record didn't fare well at
the time was because of the difficulty in getting the song played
on the radio. As he recalls, radio stations were much more likely
to play 'radio versions' of songs which lasted for a couple of
minutes, rather than five or seven minute 'extended' versions
such as 'Star Child', which were more suitable to a club
environment. In addition, as Jeffrey explains, radio airplay is a
'political business', and also within a short while band members
such as Keith got their own breaks, and the Kallaloo era was over
as quickly as it had started.

Love Drop drops (!) his first release on GAMM and goes all in for a jazz-disco-boogie affair that will be hard to resist.
Lesette Willson's jazzy boogie classic gets a proper rework with some female spiritual spoken word vocals on top.
Jupiter Beyonds jazz-disco monster gets a heavy club edit and last but not least one of the best jazz-funk tracks of all time by Johnny Hammond Smith gets a vocal treatment that just...works!

Contrary to the songs name, this interpretation of a traditional Afro-Brasilian candomble song, appears to be forged from mythical lost amazonian gold.
Recorded in Sao Paulo with an allstar cast of Arteria FM (on vocal duties), Salvador Araguaya (caressing the Viola Caipira) & Spaniol (stroking the Baixo), steered by Nicola's production prowess, this quartet delivers a melodic enhancement to the summer sun.

As if the sun wasn't shining bright enough already, the single comes backed by a remarkable remixer ensemble procured from their duties as fellow sun-worshippers:
Xique-Xique's Dragonfruit Mix is a wondrous journey full of surprising leaps and bounds, alternating between hypnotic electronics and organic song structure.
Saving the best 'til last he raises the energy whilst keep the beats low and the vibes ecstatic. HIT !
Crussen's creamy cocodub raises the energy whilst concentrating on a dubbed out groove, (that) classic Crussen bassline and carefully sliced & re-appropriated vocals.
Finally in-house poster-boy Carrot Green's Granola mix combines disco, deep grainy bassines, juicy bells and signature flourishes into a bowl of magical mind-whirling hip-spinning edible sex.

Vinyl 12" + 2 Side A4 Paper Insert (what Is Cozmico - An Open Letter By Noema)

It's Cozmico! And Noema Delivers Three Stunning New Remixes For Your Next Magic Carpet Ride!

The Ep Kicks Off With The Spiced Up Cosmic Classic 'jourouadou', Where A Driving Middle Eastern Rhythm, Arabic Lyrics And A Rolling Bass Lay The Foundation For An Ecstatic Dance Party, Until A Hypnotic Synth Leads You The Way Up To The Tunisian Night Sky.

۬flip The Record And It's 'zeluf' That Hits You With A Psychedelic-rock Groove On B1, Unfolding Arabesque Chanting, Oud Lines And A Marimba Like Synth During The Journey.

This Remix Of The Turkish Singer-songwriter Is A Masterfully Crafted Journey With Unforeseen Twists And Turns, Mingling Her Band With Sounds Of Trains And Bonfire.

Another gem from the archives gets a much needed official reissue. The 12' mix of 'You' combines the original funk riffs, string arrangement and joyous piano with a squelchy lead synth to elevate the track to new levels. Anyone who saw that momentous back to back between Ge-Ology and Red Greg at Dekmantel last summer will know the power of this one.
My Music' on the B side is another favorite from the diggers - spiritual soul from Samuel Jonathan Johnson, tip!

Ombra International can save you with the fury and lust. Bordeaux Cold-wave band, Bagarre Perdue kick things off with 'Cowboy' and the psychedelic Spaniard, Sutja Gutierrez closes with a tripped out vocal track.
The B-side goes more for the dance floor with French-Londonite, Mondowski and a post-punk slow-wave song ties it all together from St. Petersburg Russia's, Seven Knives.

When Fouk & Glenn Astro remix a new artist you know what the vibe is: Dirty DIY house with a heavy funk vibe. Mangabey is the new kid on the Toy Tonics family and he is a master of this style. He lives in Lyon/ France (and is a good friend of Folamour who remixed his first EP on Toy Tonics some months ago). But Mangabey takes the whole new Funk-House sound to another level. While many of his colleagues work with samples, Mangabey studied Jazz piano and collects vintage synths. And so he plays most of the stuff himself and bring in a lot of personality. His works could remind the vibe of New York Soul House from the 1990ies or the sounds from the West London scene from 20 years ago, but definitely he adds a modern, edgy touch to it. Mangabey aka Jose Fehner is an interesting personality: Born in the south of France in a family of traveling artists. As a kid he has been living on a boat and in caravans, traveling France and Africa with a wild theatre collective directed by his parents who are actors. Later he went to music university and now finally, by age of 22, he lives in Lyon. Lyon is becoming France' second music town. The town that has the most vibrant club and producer scene right now. So, yes: There is a lot to come from there... a lot from Mangabey.

Monsieur KAPOTE comes back with another deep funk house EP on Toy Tonics. Slap Bass, Wurlitzer Jazz Pianos, Old school house drum machines, nasty talks. This new three- tracker continues the vibe of his last single The Nose (that went no.1 on Traxsource and Juno and is still getting hammered by DJ's from all kind of scenes). This is slow grooving dance music. Nothing is stressy here. Jazz funk inspired mid- tempo house with live played bass, keyboards and lot of warm harmonies. Played with a high musical level. Pure quality. In fact Kapote used to play keyboards and bass in Jazz bands before getting absorbed by dance music culture. He is a big fan of late 60ies Hard Bob Jazz as well as 1970ies Jazz Funk and Disco. You can feel these vibes in all of his tracks. Besides producing his own music Kapote also is running Toy Tonics records with his buddies Manuel Kim and Munk.

What a wonderful outlier on Holland's 030303 label, this one! Lush breaks, with hints of UK hardcore and classic bleep house inhabit this wonderful EP. The EP kicks of with the track 'Animal Samba' is more housey with memories of 808 State, UR and Reese springing to mind. A2 is called 'Junglitter' and with a tempo so low, the track is perfect for slow raving; this is Goldie abusing the hand break...Breaks are at its heaviest on the first track of the flipside: 'Musiphon' keeps rolling on a brilliant formula of a dominant bass line rolling at mid tempo while an LFO-esque melodie fights for a second position. The last one 'Vedelius' -like the artist- a four/four track accompanied with breaks with the quirky melody in the bass and nightmarish screams taking over. This is possibly the track most suitable for the dance floor, not a cozy one though...These are the best hardcore breaks since, Zomby's "Where were you in '92", get them while they're shit hot!

Jonny Rock remixes of rocking Lebanese band Mashrou' Leila track Djin Bassline to shake your bones to.

It's an epic trip.

Albion The Return. Konig cosmic.Poupeee up up away.

Dusty archives, the backrooms of record stores, private reel to reel stashes, master tapes - these are the environs of the Dynamic Range experience.

Dynamic Range is a new label focused on unearthing deep Soul, Funk and Disco jams that continue to resonate with todays dancers and DJ's. Time spent scouring the bowels of the majors and independents has unsurprisingly resulted in numerous gems being added to the DR wants list. High quality, fully licensed reissues are the order of the day, always taken from the correct master source and re-presented to hungry record heads the world over. To repeat, this is a fully legit operation - Avoid the sharks at all costs!

Hot on the heels of DR's maiden release we are pleased to present the evergreen Blue Magic and their anthemic 'Welcome To The Club', apparently a firm fave with Ron Hardy would routinely begin his DJ sets with this wondrous Philly beauty. The record has always been a big influence on the house scene with it finding new fans over and over, and it's easy to see why - brilliant arrangements, musicianship and of course - those voices! Disco bliss. On the flip side is the mighty Tom Moulton's mix of the Blue's 1979 smasher 'Look Me Up', another premium slice of incredible disco soul for the dancers and the lovers. These are the full length versions, pressed across one side each, as it's meant to be, nicely remastered and presented in their entirety.

NADUVE is a real hippie. Not one of those you meet at Wholefoods in Stokey, I mean a gentle soul oozing psychedelia. He 's a floating fixture in the 'second generation' Tel Aviv producers (not in age nor talent) LDDLM met through the Red Axes connection, a very tight self-gravitating crew of friends.

I have pictures in my head of Naduve, very lanky, bare chest with a slightly Aladdin waistcoat but do not get fooled, the 'shamanic' appearance hides a much deeper music than the dross that now entertains some of the white rich crowd in a certain spot of the Nevada desert.

Is it trance Is it tribal weirdness It's most definitely as 'who cares' as we like it. BACK TO WORK has been a firm fixture for us, a strange off kilter bleep homage to an imaginary Sheffield. PAKANA TANA is why Naduve shines at sunrise, whilst ZE HAZMAN shows us why is he is also full moon. Finally the XEN (more with her very, very soon) REVOX version of BACK TO WORK could almost be a Rimini circa 1990 anthem.

Much love from LDDLM as ever.

The House Reverends are a trinity of musicians in their own right combining talents through a love of vintage electronics, analogue tape, and downtuned RnB.
They glide through London's club scene bringing a blend of fluid funk driven by their robotic drum machine.
This EP is a three-stage journey into the hearts and souls of our shadowy heroes.It's a story of LOVE.
DRIVETIME The first tune is a slow motion seduction. A musical massage. It's a high-grade slow dance that works from dinner til dawn.
GIRL, I KNOW One for the body poppers. A tense number expressing the addictive pain of lust. Vocoder voices straining with desire as the fever grows.
CURIOUS LADY A dream-like climax. Gaze across the galaxy in awe and surrender to the state of psychedelic ecstasy this song so easily conjures. Look out for the 'Drivetime' video coming soon....

After keeping an eye on Shan as a desired candidate for a while now, we proudly announce to launch his latest release via Footjob. His records on Running Back, Beats in Space & The Healing Company during the last 5 years were critically well received and put him on the musical map - a highly gifted producer who's capable of going into many directions. His "Filterjob EP" takes us back to the golden era of Sample House. Driving beats combined with filtered Disco melodies never get out of style. If anyone it's Shan who's able to play with this type of sound and manages to deliver three superb dance floor bangers in Filterjob, On & On and Serious. To rounds things up, the EP finishes with a raw and dusty Deep House Banger called Ruff Draft Pt.2

Now THIS is a premiere!

A double combo debuting at Sanfuentes Records: Argentina's dance floor legends Djs Pareja together with Cologne's most recent jackmaster Bryan Kessler, presenting:

Djs Pareja & Bryan Kessler 'Detona' EP.

Both parties coming in hot from their last releases at Cómeme and Numbers, decided to join forces and do an Ep together, specially made for Sanfuentes Records.

And wow, did they deliver :D

'Detona' (to detonate) opens the Ep in a relentless way, with a rhythm that swallows everything around, pushing and pushing and then pushing some more.

'Shu Shu' is where things get dirty and hi-hats are unleashed like flying knives over our heads.

Also take a listen to the flip side, where we bring in our household rhythm smith Mijo to remix 'Shu Shu' in his inimitable style.

And then, the cherry on top: 'Ramp and Rage'. Just release this train of a track in front of a 4am audience with a proper sound system -maybe throw a little strobe light in the mix- and let it do it's thing. Dog barking samples included.

Summer is here, and here are the jams

For the third release of La Vie d'Artiste Music, we welcome onboard the one and only Intr0beatz from Iceland. After his last digital EP on the label that is still rocking the Deep House charts, he's coming here with 3 authentic Deep House tracks accompanied by Sebb Junior on the remix duty. Enjoy!

Analogue Attic Recording's fifth release is a live recording from Melbourne talent Sleep D, recorded under gumtrees at Melbourne's iconic Fairfield Amphitheatre.
Here we see the ambient side of Maryos Syawish, Corey Kikos and guitarist Joe Karakatsanis.The 40 minute album features beautiful, slowly unfurling pieces that caters to the label's gentle aesthetic.

The indigenous cause is an urgent one not only in terms of territory but also when it comes to the preservation of the vast Indian culture and Brazilian singer-songwriter Marlui Miranda has been dedicating herself for almost four decades to keep their music alive (she has a doctorate on Indian music, so you know).

In 1995, Marlui released the album 'Ihu: Todos os Sons', a collection of Indian chants she gathered in her field researches and released only in CD through two small labels (one in the US, the other in Brazil). This research started in 1986, funded by the John Simmon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, and it investigated the sounds of different tribes in the Rondônia state, northern Brazil, namely the Suruí, the Makuarap, the Aruá, the Tupari and the Jaboti tribes - the latter being the one identified with the 'Tchori Tchori' chant, which praises a bird called biguá.

The haunting, beautiful melody of 'Tchori Tchori' couldn't get a better companion than the exquisite musical palette of Uakti, one of Brazil's greatest instrumental groups, known for creating their own instruments (you've heard them before in Selva Discos alongside Maria Rita). That's what the listener gets on the A side of this release - the deep sound frequencies of a 45RPM cut, fully remastered, of a song never put on a vinyl record before. On the B side, Brazilian DJ and producer Joutro Mundo (Jonas Rocha's alias), who's also involved in the indigenous cause for a long time, takes us on a journey reworking Marlui's groove with subtlety, extending the chant and adding just the right elements to make it work not only in the dancefloor but also on home/office environments for pure listening pleasure.

'Indian music for itself does not have to compete with any other music genre. It is what it is.' Marlui Miranda.

'Tchori Tchori' marks the first volume of the BRASINGLES series, a new series on Selva Discos dedicated to releasing loud 12' singles with the original song on the A side and a rework on the B side, to please both the DJ and the listener.

Mangled Records twentieth release also marks 20 years since it's first release. To celebrate the occasion here are two of Ray Mang's better known and loved tracks together on one 180gram Mangled 12" for you! Number One first surfaced on his solo debut '96 Noid release. It gained widespread support in the clubs and went on to be featured on both DFP's De-Luxe House Of
Funk and Groove Armada's Back To Mine compilations as well as his own Mangled LP. Look Into My Eyes is a blissed out Balearic gem that featured on the B side of Ray's
'10 DFA release and instantly became a firm favourite for many.

It can be said that a classic is timeless and Quantize Recordings is elated to release this one in tribute to the legendary Teena Marie.

Spencer Morales (DJ Spen & John Morales) bring you another gem from the vaults, courtesy of Tasha LaRae's sublime rendition of Teena's classic "I Need Your Lovin". The tune has remained a staple in dance music from jukeboxes to dancefloors the world over. Tasha's soulfully captivating performance will have audiences singing this disco favorite with their hands in the air once more.

The musical talents of Gary Hudgins, Skip Dorsey, & Barry Woodley make this soulful house version an authentic banger. Working alongside producers John Morales, DJ Spen & Thommy Davis, it can only be described by one word; phenomenal!!!!!

This jam-packed release has five versions for your pleasure. We can't say enough about working with John Morales (M&M). He has two masterfully done mixes on this package. The M&M Vocal mix contains all the song's essential elements presented with the legendary M&M flair and perfection, while the Vocal Dub is packed with classic M&M style & movement. This package also contains DJ Spen & Gary Hudgins mixes that'll burn your dancefloors down to ashes courtesy of their Original & Extended Mixes... unequivocally pure fire for your peak hour sets!
Lastly, Opolopo's Remix contains that extra drive that he always delivers.This Spencer Morales re-production with its modern approach will devastate dance floors all year long!

Cornhusker unearths four obscure DJ-only specials. 'Easily' reveals the carnivalesque groove of a less well-known jazz-funk track. 'Mizells' weaves together all of the highlights of a mid-70s classic.

'Launchpad' is storming Hammond-led dance floor fire and 'Bring It' links a classic Rza loop to it's original source.

BEPPE LODA is back with OBSCURE ITALIAN SPACE PROG. This is the 2nd release on GAIL FORCE DISCO RECORDS which explores rare tracks that blur the line between disco and prog rock from 70's and 80's Italy.

Nirosta Steel is a sometime alias of Steven Hall. Musician and survivor of the `80s NYC`s art melting pot. Everybody Sing dances like Steven`s long-term collaborator and lost-way-too-early friend, Arthur Russell. As he forced irresistible, idiosyncratic, Disco-Not-Disco, out of the Ingram Brothers. Riding low rumbling bass. Phased guitar, country picking, flickering in and out of the mix. Strings, choir boy falsetto, and blue yodel, cutting through its delay-drenched, dance floor delirium.

L.A.`s Cole Medina delivers two reworks. His Heavy Disco take is intro`d by cowbell and synth swirls. Cymbals crashing like sampled surf. With Stratocaster microtones, and echoes of the original, washing over an electronically, re-imagined B-line and trip-py sequences.

Cole`s Knuckles Tribute sets poignant piano and gated orchestral euphoria against a classic Def Mix groove. Revealing the song in epiphany. Clarifying the lyric`s call for unity. Where singing your troubles away is a analogy for strength in adversity. Everybody hurts sometimes. In that, we are united. Eventually heading towards its own disorientating climax. Comin` at ya from all sides.

Mind Fair`s version goes in for some tribal thumping. Stripping the track down, before building it back up. Its big kick blowing bins like a hyped heart pumping within a giant's chest. Chicken scratches dropping in between its colossal 'lub dub', and Coati Mundi-meets-Jah Wobble-like Punk Funk..

Record Two

REPRESSED !!

Faze Action return with a brand new 12", teaming up with Zimbabwean born Zeke Manyika to create "Mangwana". Sung in Zeke's native Shona, and taking influences from Mory Kante, South African Kwaito to early house, Faze Action manage to create a record that harks back yet still has a modern and contemporary feel and is set to be the soundtrack to countless festivals and outdoor parties this summer.

The title track is followed by the stunning "Chiiko", featuring Zeke's vocals enriched by Rob's 'cello's with African rhythms floating you away to another tropical world. A Vision of Panorama turns up the dial with a stunning mix on the flip side. A new bass line adds to some quality keyboard work. Finally the brothers deliver are more stripped out dub "Paradise '89 Mix" tailored for the peak time.
