House Vinyl New Releases - News

thatmanmonkz graces Classic with his psychedelically grooving 'Ooh Wee' on 12', this time enlisting SoulPhiction and Norm Talley on remixing duties. Remaining true to his Detroit house and 90s boom bap influences, the title track holds a soft analogue crackle and bass loops tied together with delicate keys and soul vocals by Nikki-O. SoulPhiction's Nervös Mix is a production in two parts, leading with synth lines on deep and intense keys then ascending into disco glory. Detroit DJ Norm Talley takes a classic house approach with piano riffs and sharp hi-hats, adding another edge of genuine old skool sound to this release.

Keep your ear to the sound and your feet on the ground, everyone's favourite disco misfits are back, armed to the teeth with chatter and clatter.That's right folks, the Talking Drums crew bring you 'Vol. 2', another blast of edit ecstasy and different disco.
'Disco Danube' snaps, crackles and pops off the A-side, humming like a Soviet-era satellite broadcasting a lost Bollywood gem. Stomping disco riffs and wild funk guitar show serious swagger, overdriven vocals shimmer and shudder and the thrusters head way into the red. Slap on your lurex spacesuit and meet us on the dance floor.Flipside flyer 'Space Talk' cuts the engines and coasts through the asteroid belt, turning a Teutonic also-ran into an intergalactic groove mission. Knocking the spots off a neu wave B-side, the Talking Drums crew serve you hydraulic percussion, zero gravity bass chug and ice-cold vocals, soaked in synth sauce and finished with a tape echo garnish.Fuel up your ship and take the trip amigos, the Drums are Talking...

The long musical tradition of electro-disco, Italo style, foregrounds Innervisions' newest release. Bringing together five producers for a celebration of their cosmic past and future-forward present, Romantico Disco EP is a resolutely Italian affair.

As a three-decade stalwart of the music scene in his native Sicily, Mauro Di Martino is best known and well- known for his house sound under the moniker Musumeci. Elsewhere the elusive, anonymous newcomer Phunkadelica has offered a fresh injection of rugged dimension and intergalactic groove since their 2017 debut. Uniting on the first half of this EP, Musumeci & Phunkadelica's talents merge in a playful, complex tug-of-war. 'Babilonia' is as abundant as its mythical name suggests, with a snaky groove and retro laser trails embedded in the framework of a modern house burner. The pair's second production, 'Velluto Blu,' means 'Blue Velvet', and is a moody and evocative take on dark, slow disco full of cinematic suspense.

On the record's B-side, alumni artists Stereocalypse, aka Olderic & Andrea Doria, return from the heights of 'Blue Dome Escargot,' as featured in the latest instalment of acclaimed Innervisions series Secret Weapons Part 10 . In similar spirit to the guitar licks that drove 'Blue Dome Escargot,' the first of the duo's Romantico Disco productions, 'Lone Solo Drummer,' focuses on the rhythmic capabilities of a percussive kit, joined with bass and sparkling synth stabs for a live band sound aesthetic. To complete the EP, Stereocalypse's second production, 'The Cunning Man' gazes across the sea to the Balearic Islands, and further beyond that to the cosmos, growing in size to engage its full intergalactic powers.

Kalita Records and CC:EDITIONS (a new venture by
Australia's CC:DISCO) jointly announce a 12' EP
comprised of four of Nana Tuffour's greatest electronic
burger highlife tracks, accompanied by interview-based liner
notes. Here, in partnership with Nana, we select two highly
sought-after songs from his 1993 release 'Genesis', namely
'Sikyi Medley' and 'M'Anu Me Ho', and pair them his with two
lesser known yet equally deserving tracks 'Asamando' and
'Jesus' from his 1997 CD-only release 'Highlife Tropicana'.
Hailing from Kumasi, the capital of the Ashanti region in Ghana,
Nana Tuffour is by far one of the most important exponents of
modern highlife music. He studied piano at college and cut his
teeth in the '70s as an organist and vocalist for the incomparable
Kyeremanteng Atwede and Dr. K Gyasi's Noble Kings Band.
Fast forward to 1981 and Ghana was at the apex of its golden age
of music. This era was brought to an abrupt end by political
upheaval when the military took over the government and as a
result a restrictive dusk to dawn curfew was imposed between
1982 and 1984. This resulted in a total obliteration of the country's
night life, and Nana just like many other prominent musicians
including Pat Thomas and George Darko left Ghana for greener
pastures, the most popular destinations being Nigeria and
Germany. The Rheinklang Studio in Düsseldorf run by a young
inimitable German sound engineer Bodo Staiger and another
'exiled' Ghanaian musician Charles Amoah played a crucial role
for those musicians who had chosen Germany. This studio
became the focal point for Ghanaian musicians and the birthplace
of a new sound, now known as 'Burger highlife' - traditional
Ghanaian highlife infused with the more up to date electronic and
disco sounds of the West. It is arguable that Nana has played a
crucial role in Burger highlife and developing the sound of
traditional Ghanaian highlife more widely to what it is today, with
his innovative use of electronic accompaniment pushing its
boundaries to its creative extremes.
It is Burger highlife's transcendence of traditional musical
boundaries that helps make it so accessible to listeners,
appealing not only to Ghanaians back home but now highly
regarded and sought-after by those in the West interested in
more occidental disco and electronic sounds. We hope that you
enjoy the four songs offered here, each chosen to demonstrate
Nana's singular influence on the development of Burger highlife.

Stamping the passport this time round we have DJ Ric Piccolo by way of Buenos Aires, who takes lost and obscure Argentinian records and injects them with a turbo shot of discoid overload. If you've just got onboard the Passport to Paradise spaceship, don't fret- PTP13 is the perfect introduction for the aspiring cosmic voyageur. Ric Piccolo kicks off with the heady throes of 'Fuck All Nite' . You've heard it before but you can't remember where. Take the advice- this is your 3am matchmaking tool. Then head onto A2, 'Passage', where the wind whistles through tropical vines and monkeys play Moogs on the rainforest floor. TIP!
On the flip side we have '1, 2, 3..', sounding like the lost credit track to a 1980s Latin horror b-movie, where flare-clad zombies with glasses of fernet rock and sway with drunken senoritas. It could well be. Finally, B2, Venus rounds of the release in true cosmic disco style.

This time in Calypso, Aristidez takes us on journey trough the streets of Lima Peru. The Chaos and the spirituaity of this old country are noticable on all of this tracks. Rumbling percussions and vocals, harmony and rythm, darkness and light all come togeter through the use of samples to show the quality of this young up and coming producer. "Nada Nada" it's the mantra that will help you go through the morning in a grey and cloudy city. "Reyerta" represents the violence of many Latin American cities having a hard time. Evoca its the mix between the first two where peace and violence find them selves in a catarchic release of energy. Symple Symmetry brings the tempo up for their Nada Nada remix asking everyone "what happens after death".

Fleeting Wax introduces Eva Geist to their rooster - a very promising producer and live act. With a nordic feeling of nostalgia Blumareciano depicts the mediterranean sea landscape on a cloudy winter day. Soft beats, braid arpeggiators and thin out vocals build a cinematic scenario of spacious narration, a odyssey vacation thrilled by the new and encouraged by the hope to one day come back home. San Propers Remix takes Blumareciano down to a rusty dirty club and manages to combine techno with the deep vocals of Eva Geist.

Rotterdam's Machinegewehr strikes again on Bordello A Parigi! Two club bangers with beautiful artwork from the man himself. Must have!

The man, the myth, the legend ... back in the 80s Jesse Rae, along with Roger Troutman and Bernie Worrell, was part of the P-Funk movement that was hugely influential to Detroit's early electronic experiments. Lesser known is that the enigmatic Scot-funk warrior later produced underground electronic tracks in the 90s. The inaugural release on Glasgow label Southside Shufflers presents two of Jesse's Shufflers on vinyl for the first time on the Global 95 EP- a sampler from his pioneering 1995 album 'Compression'. Ever the innovator, Jesse recorded the album collaboratively using live ISDN technology spanning three continents, with the resultant tracks fusing African, US electro-funk and old Scots influences. 23 years later, Jesse's under the radar Shufflers sound more relevant than ever.
Southside Shufflers are a record label and sports collective based in Glasgow with outposts in London and Amsterdam. SSS- ain't no half steppin'!

The Tiger is back - finally on full length again! The second studio album for Tiger & Woods not only marks a desired return to a specific format, but is also a huge leap forward in their area of expertise: their brand of fun and functional dance music gets broadened by influences from electronica, italo disco and up-tempo house, while keeping a groove that is distinctly linked to what some people refer to as boogie. After travelling the world from left to right and from top to bottom with a live-set to boot and skilful DJ sets that resemble that genre melting approach, "On The Green Again" is the result of spending valuable studio time at the "Tiger's Lair" - a carefully-built new work place that plays its own part in the creative process of one of the most prolific production teams of our days, while simultaneously starting T&W Records for all sorts of adventures that are linked to Tiger & Woods, but not narrowed to a specific sound. See "Unleashed Tapes Vol. 1" for further reference. A double A-sided 12-inch that owes as much to disco as an influence as it pays homage to the funkier and brighter sides of house and techno. Honing a craft that is rooted in edit culture as an ethos, but has since long left that bumpy road dependable on samples and their clearance, T&W make "On The Green Again" work as the second album that defies the difficulty usually attached to such ventures. 10 brand-new tracks (and three previously released bonus tracks on the CD version) make up the course between peak-time prime cuts similar to "RockMeLoveMe" or "Come And Get My Lovin" and an almost heart-aching track like "Endless Affair". Mixed with bits and pieces in-between and neatly placed between a classic intro and outro segment, those tracks are testament

Italian Dodi Palese is a helpless vinyl addict: if it sounds good, he buys it. Collecting for most of his life, he soaks up anything he can then uses these records to speak to his audience in whatever way suits. Growing up with a father who ran a radio station is what installed this eclectic ethic in him, and it set him in good stead from the off.

For many years Dodi was core resident at Casablanca (RIP) in Southern Italy, where he would often spread his musical wings through funk, jazz, soul, afro, disco, house and techno for up to eight hours a night. It was an important learning curve that means he is now able to take a dance floor's hand and lead it on an unpredictable and rewarding journey through sound that defies the usual categorisations.

In the studio, Dodi focusses on following his instincts and getting lost in the moment: he makes music designed for dancing, and music that veers from afro-funky house to deep and supple minimal techno for the late night hours. It is slick, original stuff with real feeling imbued in the compelling grooves. Dodi also curates his own two labels What Ever Not, together with Dan Mela, and Engrave LTD, with Musumeci. They naturally have a broad outlook that takes in raw four-four, afro, electro and techno, and call upon a mix of artists who are well established as well as hot rising stars.

Der Spanier Pablo Fierro ist dope: Herrausragende Produktionsskills, drei (an)treibende Tropical-/ Afrohouse-Tunes, alle drei suuuuper Buuuurner, die genau rechtzeitig für die Freiluft Festival-, und Beach-Saison erscheinen. Tony Allen lässt grüßen. Tipp-topp Compost Black Label 12' von Anfang bis Ende. No Filler, just killer.

Der auf den Kanarischen Inseln, Spanien, geborene sowie aufgewachsene Pablo Fierro ist Produzent, Musiker und DJ. Seine Musik wird als tropisch, elektromagnetisch und gewaltig beschrieben. Außerdem ist Pablo Gründer von Vida Records, einem der Global Club Music Plattenlabels, die die besten tropical sounds veröffentlichen. Seine Musik findet man auf Labelgrößen wie Warner Music, Defected Records, Atjazz Record Company, Kingstreet und G-Rex. Neben Auftritten im spanischen Fernsehen verwenden auch angesehene Regisseure wie Bigas Luna seine Musik.

Sprechen sie rhythm It's time for a new dance...

Welcome to the wonderful weird of Talking Drums - an unsafe space for poorly executed dance moves, misjudged vibes and narcotic bravery.
Semi-Cosmic, way wonky and oozing grooves, this is music for the fringe class.

The party starts with a tripped out tribute to an Italian inspiration. 'C60 Lato A' sees the crew pluck a couple of killers off a well worn Cosmic tape, leave them out in the sun a little too long then stick them back together with an experimental blend of UHU and fufu. Springy bass, spangled brass and mangled electronics make for a motherlode of funk, fried just long enough to make the walls melt. Bendy....

Over on the B-side the crew come through with a little bath-salt boogie, pitched down and loved up for all the slow dancers and romancers out there.
Strutting like a stoned fox, 'Get Serious' wraps rubber-limbed bass around propulsive percussion, gets hooky with the horns then slaps you silly with its x-rated synth-smut.
Pinched from the pound bin and taped over a CH 5 classic, this disco drooler will loosen up even the stickiest floors.
Freshly dressed and pressed to impress, the Drums are talking...

REPRESSED !!

Double LP with a selection of the tracks on the Resurrection CD last year...TIP!
As last year's limited box set has been out of print for a while, we decided to press up a 2xlp version with 12 essential tracks from the original release that total 60 minutes. If you have missed the box set this is a great chance to own some of Virgo Four's essential Chicago house music!

The tracks were selected from 100's of 4-track tapes that had been untouched and unreleased all these years due to local record business politics and disinterest. These demo recordings have been restored and mastered for release. Resurrection really shows the the rich, diverse and unique quality of Virgo Four, which leaves you wondering what impact they would have made on the (Chicago) house scene if they would have gotten released back in the day.

Two more classic cuts get the re-edit treatment from Shield.
Played by Carl Cox & Nic Fanciulli at the Space Ibiza closing party. Pressed on Black vinyl & housed in a Manilla sleeve.

In our most private moments, we have often thought of Multi Culti as an educational enterprise: as you listen to our music and stare at our artwork, you are absorbing information in a way that might conceivably be defined as "learning."Our latest release brings this theoretically reasonable fantasy one step closer to fruition, as we welcome Hamburg-based musician and composer Andi Otto (Ph.D) to our roster of artists. A deep listening experience focused on repetition and timbre, Bow Wave was made using rare and unique instruments such as a special sensor bow for cello (and other string instruments) known as the "Fello," which Otto developed during his residencies at the STEIM research centre in Amsterdam. The album also features vocals from award-winning Indian playback singer, actor, and TV anchor M.D. Pallavi, a frequent Otto collaborator, recorded while the two were touring Japan.

For the 5th in the Ele Records catalogue esteemed producer Cottam brings two killer edits to the table. The A side sees a joyous disco rework, extending and expanding elements to really hone in on that exuberant bassline and string section.
Flip it over and 'Jigsaw' delivers a dusty mixture of afro rhythms and stirring spoken words to entrance any audience it's set before.

Danyb returns with another essential volume of Busted goods !
The A side expertly reworks an early 80's Canadian Disco/Funk rarity for maximum modern dancefloor devastation
On the flip Janis Joplin floats over a cleverly pitched Tom Tom Club classic for a slow-burning groover of the highest order...

Following Hammer's stand out release on Loft Records last year, 'Canna' gets the remix treatment by four killer producers.

First up, Lauer adds his trademark flavour to the already outstanding title track 'Canna', bending the mind with an acidic top line and classic Korg M1 bells.The A2 sees Supreems take the techno edge off 'Man Ray' replacing the drums with a more electro tinged style of rhythm, whilst echoing the synths into the back of the mix to let the drums take the foreground.

Flip it over and you get two reworkings of 'Manaka'. Firstly, Domenic Cappello switches the breaksy flow of the original for a more club ready kick to compliment those stabs, in turn elevating the breakdown to greater effect. In contrast, Lord Of The Isles dives deeper into the breaks feel of Hammer's original, adding glitchy samples and oddball synth lines to take this one an even more interplanetary tip.

More super edits from KAT via Lasha Margiani and George Japaridze who are based in Tbilisi and also release under the alias of ROTKRAFT on labels such as Nurvous Records, Exotic Refreshment, & Kompakt Records

Saturn FC and Intergalactic Kalahari Oysters have agreed to the loan of the player Interplanetary Criminal for the next EP on Kalahari Oyster Cult, pending the relevant mental health check-up. Intergalactic Kalahari Oysters reserves the right to purchase the player when comes the end of the world.'We're delighted we've been able to complete this transfer. Signing Interplanetary Criminal was our squad's biggest wish,' commented Kalahari Oyster Cult's label boss. 'Interplanetary Criminal's Out Of Body EP is a versatile EP, with 3 absolute belters and a very emotional jam. These tracks were tested and approved in club environment. Interplanetary Criminal is ready to kick off the season and there's no question that this transfer further increases the quality in our roaster.'

Three house-filtered and heartically raw jams on the enigmatic Relative imprint for the eleventh release of the series. Label heads, John Swing and EMG touch down with their inimitable flair and mischievous beat programming, with the former delivering a signature Swing flex - dusty, off-kilter samples and slicing percussion - whilst the latter spreads the groove over two jams on the flipside - pounding kicks, degenerate vocal snippets and gritty synth chords. As always, Relative releases only on vinyl and cuts direct from the source - the truth.

After two fine first releases on Bordello A Parigi and Multi Culti, Mytron & Ofofo make their LYO debut with a five tracker full of diverse influences. Combining vintage gear with modern production tools, the mysterious duo based in London and Paris wonderfully connects the dots between disco-funk, afro-zouk infused grooves or melancholic spacey electro creating a fresh eclectic fusion. Both organic and synthetic, futuristic with traditional roots, 'Topography' draws a line on exotic territories between cultural blends and backgrounds.

After a deep crossing of the egyptian desert, Fuego International is back and proud to unveil its second release carried by the fresh energy of their new recruit Too Smooth Christ.Recorded between French Britanny and Paris where he currently lives with its beloved cat, the sweet parisian delivers a fascinating palette of grooves that will awake the curiosity of many ears.Cleopatra's secret diary is a good way to bring both energy and 'rêverie' in your collection, ensuring great fun and poetry on the dancefloor!

06AM contains three Turkish and one fake Turkish edit. They sound quite traditional but they all have a psychedelic electronic or percussive edge which makes them worth stretching a bit. Afrobot presents two edits of quite under the radar folky tracks, Matt Moroder delivered a pretty unknown sexy disco slow burner and the fourth track is an instrumental Oriental sounding break beat rock track, which is actually from Germany, like the mysterious Potentiometer himself. Hand stamped artwork by Frank Koedood.

South African gqom pioneer and producer DJ Lag is set to release his new 'Stampit' EP via London label and collective Goon Club Allstars. The new release follows the 22 year old producer's acclaimed 2016 self-titled debut EP for the same independent imprint. The EP follows the release of his first single, the thrilling dance floor heater '3 Step Culo', which draws from the hard-hitting percussive sound of gqom made up of searing synthesisers, broken beat and hypnotic vocal samples to create a darker, bass-driven strain of house music. The EP follows his self-titled debut to showcase his keen talent for crafting charged, minimalist genresplicing sound. 'Let's Do This' exhibits an intense and euphoric big room feel, whilst 'Drumming' and 'Switz' display tense, potent drumwork and sparse & spectral club patterns. Also known as the 'Gqom King', DJ Lag was at the forefront of shaping the futuristic, explosive sound of gqom, the raw and distinctive style of drum-heavy dance music originating from the underground scene of Durban, South Africa in recent years and swiftly proliferating across the internet through the spread of social media and gaining international recognition. DJ Lag's latest outing delves into the infectiously rhythmic and high-energy sound palette of his previous works, recorded fully in his home studio in Clermont, South Africa.
