House Vinyl New Releases - News

tim jones, also known as Preacherman and recorded under midi man, ironing Board Band and t.j. hustler. he made one very rare lp, and two even rarer cD's. these tracks are from the cD's. he was a salesman for iBm in Las Vegas, where he sold selectric t ypewriters and then word processors during the day and at night he would perform in the Las Vegas lounges. he was somewhat of an engineer and adapted a hammond B3 organ to play a moog synth with some of the organ keys, (some still played the organ),
and he adapted the organ's foot controlled bass levers to play two moog synth bass pedals (a failed item moog made for a few years.) thinking he wasn't much of a live performer he had a wooden puppet made that he named t.j hustler, and together with the puppet, he would engage in long philosophical soliloquies, (some of which are featured on this album).if you meet tim, he is not someone who stops talking. in fact he even created a little book called universal Philosophy. he has a lot to say about everything. currently he lives with his 103 year old mother in
Oakland. there he infrequently plays shows on his casio where he fashions himself a live Karaoke performer, who comes complete with 5 wireless mics and P.a. and a list of about a 100 songs he can play. his invented organ contraption and puppet are in storage in Las Vegas, and he seems intensely
uninterested in getting them out, as 'the kids these days want to hear the sounds the casio makes.'

Apparel Wax is about to hit your summer hard with the 5th gem of the collection! Four tracks delivering our approach to this sound but always from different perspectives, which helps us to maintain that fresh energy we need to be able to keep on doing what we do. 005A1 with its funk attitude, powerful chords and stunning vocals creates a proper banger; that one tune we just can't stop shaking our hips and to. 005A2 is such a perfect blend of different feelings: are the strings a bit 80's Is it just a new version of that kind of disco music Instead it's just a mixture of sensations perfectly coexisting, brought together by the Apparel Wax matrix that just makes it a mature interpretation of a big musical influence. 005B1 features a piano loop that is a great tribute to classic house music and keeps on dialoguing with catchy vocals. The track elevates the spirit of the happy tune to a next level, leaving not only a taste of summer but a sense of coolness. 005B2 played after the first three hitting tracks, with its saxophone and synthesizers is a percussive, atmospheric and fulfilling way to end the record's narrative in perfect fashion; a record that displays an uncanny array of house/disco music performances. It is almost one year since the 1st one. We couldn't think about how good the response would have been from the listeners. So we'd like to thank you all for the support: it will push us to try and keep the level as higher as we can!

The italian act Geometric Vision has earned a solid reputation as one of the best post-punk bands out there. This EP, with specially remastered versions, is an extract / advance of their very awaited new LP 'FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!' to be released next april 23 at SWISS DARK NIGHTS on digital / cd and on vinyl standard LP version on MANIC DEPRESSION RECORDS. Somehow near of the best The Cure but with clear reminds to The Stone Roses for the exquisite use of the reverbs and delays on all tracks, but all that, surely, with a more agressive and darky approach. Volkan Caner of She Past Away helps GV to close this EP with the amazing 'Jelly Dream'. It arrives on 12 EP format and produced in a ONE-OFF truly limited edition of 300 copies lacquered pressed on 180 gr. high quality solid black vinyl. All tracks have been specially remastered for LONG CUT vinyl by Eric Van Wonterghem

This is a homage to childhood years spent in the Scottish Highlands. To mountain biking in Fort William. To nights out in Glasgow and Edinburgh. To the scene and the people. To 'Cha deoch-slàint, i gun a tràghadh.' - 'It's no health if the glass is not emptied.' This is Alex Warren's little nod to Scotland. Disco Halal is delighted to add another genius dancefloor master to the family, Kiwi. 'Pine Marten' opens the EP up, contemplative and majestic, like highlanders preparing for battle. Following up, 'Daubenten's Bat' is a bonafide Disco Halal anthem with indigenous vocals and psychedelic woodwinds. To close the EP, Kiwi reworks 'Pine Marten' into a peak time, italo-infused roller. The highlanders drop their swords, head to Panorama Bar and jig with reckless abandon.

Its Riot Gear number 2 and it's a party monster from the ever reliable Pete Herbert The EP is packed with Italo madness, house pianos, arpeggios and beats galore. Bottin & Yam Who provide the remixes. Venice based Bottin adds a classic Metro Area-esque feel, with new wave boogie touches, proto house beats and killer analogue synthesizers. Yam Who tears apart 'Expresso' with rough disco beats, a stripped down pulsating bass and brings in dreamy Rinder & Lewis keys over an authentic '70s disco production, fully optimised for all the late night dance floors.

Early 80's balearic Italian Disco solid release from the classic Bolognian Band Aid, not to be confused for Bob & Midge & co. This limited edition project features the legendary dj Tony Carrasco for the vocal and dub versions and the precious addiction of the unreleased mediterranean version mixed and overdubbed by Pellegrino from the Early Sounds Recordings by adding aggressive percussions remembering something of Konk style.

This release is individually 500 hand-numbered limited edition. The first 100 copies are pressed on RED MARBLED vinyls (AR009). It comes in a simple black sleeve + a 14,5x5,5 cm. sticker, as the 1999 Original LP + a double-sided paper insert (21x29,7 cm. 170 gr./m2) including artwork and stories.
This Mini-LP is taken from the rare and so nice 1999 'RUCKUS IN LO-FI' LP (Sweden). A singular Instrumental / Hip Hop and Cut-up/DJ album, with 2 hidden strong Balearic tracks inside. One is the now so famous and in demand 'I dream' gem, a headtrip beauty based on the Pink Floyd groove, with its 1999 ORIGINAL VERSION + a killer 'Wolves of Asha' Balearic Remix from our man JOE MORRIS.

Late Night Tales welcomes back the cult figure and ultimate musical connoisseur, Bill Brewster to compile his second episode of the curated compilation series 'After Dark'. An obscure and timeless DJled journey which begins somewhere out in the near ocean, the waves are rolling and lolling gently into the shore, while a full moon shines on the surface. It's only faint, but somewhere nearby is the sound of bass, pulsing slowly, almost in time to the waves. Welcome back to 'After Dark: Nightshift'. Once again Bill Brewster comes armed with a sensitivity and sense of occasion that few other DJs possess. Delivering another batch of slow cooked musical stews, making sure the tempo stays nice and steady and the emphasis is on funk, soul, grits and corn fried chicken, Brewster has done so much digging, Late Night Tales had to hire a forklift truck and tractor. Among the unreleased nuggets, there's the Fernando mix of The Detachments; inordinate excitement about Gino Fontaine, a tune spotted a year ago but has languished in Andy Meecham's Stafford catacombs ever since. Also unearthed are some hitherto secret recordings between Robert Fripp and The Grid, and there are also some proper club faves here, too, like the daft but brilliant 'Mopedbart' by Hubbabubbaklubb and the luminous 'Boutade' by Mugwump, as well as killer oldies like Salsoul Invention and General Lee

José Manuel once again drops his unique strain of exotic club music ~ exploring deep, ritualistic and tribal influences to great dramatic effect. 'Human Behaviour' is a woozy nine minute opus. Rich in atmospherics, chanting and echoed flutes. Clandestino's remix refines the track for the dance-floor, retaining the atmosphere and injecting a driving 303 line and jamming Afro keys. Upping the tempo on 'Bangalore' a hypnotic guitar hook, disorienting chants and tribal percussion drive the groove. Mushrooms Project turn out an essential blissful sundown version by extending out the pads and replacing the guitar for a squelchy synth.

The folks at Passport to Paradise deliver more exotic sounds from the farthest reaches of Earth and beyond, for your aural pleasure. Your concierge today is cosmic disco maverick Loud E, taking us from 123 to 456 to 789 in a masterclass of disco edit wizardry. Step inside the elevator...

The doors close. Loud E welcomes you with '123', flicking gears and switches while offering you a space mojito. It's a smooth ascension; suddenly, the elevator wobbles and the lights blink to the beat of 124bpm. Still with us We land on '456', and the doors creak open to reveal the orange surface of Mars.

Space dust floats around a disco ball; strobe lights penetrate the atmosphere. By '789', you're seeing stars - literally. Loud E takes us from nought to sixty in the blink of an eye, or perhaps the stamp of a passport. Three cosmic cuts for the more enlightened of dancefloors.

Join the Passport to Paradise ride, but be careful - you might never come.

After Their Debut Ep "intergalactico", Phunkadelica Are Back On Engrave Ltd With A Strong New Work Including Three Original Tracks Plus Two Remixes From Underspreche.

Get Ready To Travel In The Phunkadelica's Iperspazio!

Never one to rest, our pal The Revenge has been busy as always. His latest LP as 6th Borough Project Find Your Rhythm' recently dropped on Roar Groove, he created a beautifully delicate remix of Auntie Flo's Waiting for a (Woman)", had a change of scenery relocating from Scotland to Denmark and his collab EP with Dirt Crew, flush with Nachtbraker remixes was one of our biggest records of 2016! Amongst the action he's taken the time and a more in yer face' approach to write us his latest EP, a four-tracker of proper club tracks. Every Night' brims with raucous disco energy. The French Filter House' reminiscent gem's strings shimmer and funk horns hit heavy, a jam destined to wear holes in shoes. Grit' attends to the easy-going Disco grooves we love so much from The Revenge, plenty of shake and soul it's overflowing with good-mood energy. B-side opener Never Learn' gives us a glimpse of the darker end of The Revenge's spectrum. Subby toms rumble, tweaked out synths bleep and slide and delayed key stabs shift the party into smoke hazed, underground rave mode. The closing track Krokodille' brings that Bass n Electro gritty booming sound! The acidic lead wraps around sturdy drums. Straight forward with plenty of kick, what an ending to a high quality EP!

Young Cody Currie makes his debut on Classic with this sparkling star-strung 4-part 12' EP, 'Ode To Eddy'. Following covetable releases on Razor-N-Tape, Pulse Records and Better Listen, the budding London DJ and producer demonstrates his deep and jazzy style in this release, expanding on his usual creative use of sampling by introducing his own vocals and live keys. The title track has echoes of fellow Classic artist Folamour, blissed-out synths and syncopated drum work creating an irresistible lilting beat. 'I Don't Feel' has hints of acidity, 'Never Alone' loops the vocal over a shuffling melodic groove and 'Tale Of Tales (Memoirs Of A Super Freak)' is the uplifting finisher. 'Ode To Eddy' is a supremely promising introduction to an intuitive and gifted new artist.

NYC label kicks off w/4 edits, thoroughly field tested w/100% guaranteed results: a rejiggering of a 90s rave classic; a glitzy, flute-laden disco boogie; a more driven thumper; & a slow-burner, a sexy number that's all velvet & satin

Are you my conscience Irresistible Freaks-like house using 'Finding Nemo'-samples by Justus K.

The Summer just got hotter as Alliance Upholstery offers some serious Italo heat with an official 180 gram vinyl re-issue of the Swiss holy grail, Veronique - Jungle Man.
Originally released in 1987 on Fresh Music, this driving, tropically cosmic cover of the Kongo Band classic, 'African Man' rocks almost any dancefloor.
No wonder it fetches close to a bill on Discogs. The A Side includes remastered versions of the original and instrumental, 'Guitar Man', courtesy of Deitrich Schoenemann.
If that wasn't enough, re-edit master JAZ (Sixty Five, Universal Cave) takes prime cuts from each version to produce his own megamix on the B-side.

Dr Love is a veteran and key tastemaker / vinyl junkie on the Montreal scene and Laura Ingalls is a wandering French person of no specific sex who has recently landed in the French Canadian city and they both bonded over their love of anything Disco and Poutine, the main local dish which consists of potato, cheese, gravy and maybe sometimes added meat!
Dr Love likes to dig but doesn't really produce while Laura Ingalls is not the most efficient digger and only seems to unearth old Folk and obscure Arabic music for their personal collection but has serious production skills. A1 - Laura Ingalls & Dr Love - Oh Mon Amour 6m 02s Very hard to find anything online about Idris Cheba who's real name is Serge Michael Bijaoui but this was a classic at the famous parisian disco Le Palace in the early 80's when it was released. A2 - Laura Ingalls & Dr Love - Weekend Mouillé 5m 42s
This is an odd one, a jazz disco thing from the mid 70's, the producer Art Polhemus is actually more a rock producer and this track sticks out like a sore thumb in his discography.

AA1 - Laura Ingalls & Dr Love - Ecoute Mon Coeur 5m 38s
Peter Godwin who wrote this was in the band Metro and then went on to write and produce a lot of 80's new wave in France and across Europe, the original is definitely a guilty pleasure, both Dr Love and Laura Ingalls are closet Italo fans and even though this is from Belgium it bares all the cheesy Italo stigmata: big synths, big drums, english vocals with a bad accent!
AA2 - Laura Ingalls & Dr Love - Soul Ma Coco 5m 48s
This is a cover of Manu Dibango's Soul Makossa obviously, this version kept the melody and changed the lyrics slightly, Bayete is a South African band but the album was only released in Canada and Belgium.

Nadanna is extremely proud and excited to present TOBIAS BERNSTRUP's new album 'Technophobic'.

Bernstrup who works both as a visual artist and musician has been touring worldwide since the late 1990s and positioned himself as one of the leading re-inventors of Italo Disco with his unique mix of Italo, Synthpop and Gothic noir. He has created his own unmistakable stage persona wearing androgynous outfits in shiny latex and heavy make-up. Tobias has collaborated with seminal artists such as Trans-X, Apoptygma Berzerk, Martial Canterel, Xeno & Oaklander, Lebanon Hanover, and She Past Away.

'Technophobic' contains 10 smashing tracks including the recent single 'Utopia', and 'Metropolis of Tomorrow' featuring French dark synth wave artist HANTE. Combining influences from classic synthpop, minimal wave, dark wave in a retro futuristic manner TOBIAS BERNSTRUP has created an album reminiscent of the 80s but in a contemporary context of sound landscape.

Hot off a couple of 12' from Topher Horn, Rocksteady Disco follows up with its first compilation featuring a heap of heavily sampled originals from more well-known editors. Pontchartrain leads the release off with a summer-inspired aural prozac number, just in time for this June release. Next up is notorious Detroit editor Lafleur, busting out this original milky-smooth Detroit boogie house production. A slight little rearrangement from Rocksteady Disco label boss Peter Croce makes this one a bit smoother for the DJs. Lyon, France's G2S kicks off the flip with a big-bottomed stomper reminiscent of some MCDE 'Raw Cuts'. Pontchartrain book-ends this release with a track that puts the 'rocksteady' in Rocksteady Disco, with heavy analog-meets-electro drum programming and complete with Pontchartrain on vocoder duties.

Just in time for the season, Seaside Maestro Jean Claude Gavri returns with this long awaited 3rd instalment of the Seaside Edits summer series. Both tracks on side A are top notch 117 afro disco floor fillers by Disco Tech & Lillo Carillo. On the flip, the man himself label owner JCG is giving us a sneak peek inside his vinyl vault with Off Broadway, a Balearic afro synth heaven, for these very lucky few that earned their ticket to the deeper zones of your collection.

The 7-track compilation Partie de Plaisir' concentrates a range of
musical influences that will take you from New York Garage House to groovy Nu-Disco and French House. More than a label, Pétrole gathers an association of multi-skilled and enthusiastic photographers, graphic and visual artists.

Repress

Frame Of Mind is a new venture initiated by Gerd: a label that focuses on re-issuing rare and sought-after tracks as well as on releasing new music. First up we serve you this official re-release of Nature Boy's classic Ruff Disco Volume One. This highly in demand double pack goes for mad money on the second hand market, so after 25 years, a beautifully remastered edition is finally here. Nature Boy's sound is best described as a rough combination of disco infected grooves with raw and hard hitting rhythms. Tracks such as The Livin'Groove, Ha Ha, Trackin' and of course Tobago caused bliss and mayhem on dance floors world wide and brought joy to thousands and thousands of dancers, dj's and music collectors all over the globe. This LP displays a fine mixture between house, disco and sometimes even dub/reggae. To this day Ruff Disco Volume One is a timeless work of art.

"Emotional Rescue presents French 80s electronic band Takenoko and their unique and quirky euro synth-pop, here as collected works from 1982 to 1988. The compilation includes their 3 singles plus a number of unreleased songs heard for the first time. Formed in 1981 when Bruno Aujard, Jean Louis Simonet and Jean Michel Louisor met in Bordeaux, France, the trio took their admiration of post punk bands like Talking Heads and Gang Of Four and mixed it with the pioneering sound of Kraftwerk and the new wave of UK electronic bands and set about composing songs with the simple aim to make people dance. Encompassing their interest in Japanese culture, Takenoko, meaning young bamboo shoot - a metaphor for teenager in Japan - was born.
Initial demos were soon signed and Elle a Tokyo was released on 7" in 1982. A vision of the Far East garnered from magazine stories of Geishas, robots and the arrival of the modern, movement of designers, such as Yohji Yamamoto.Their second single, Lee Harvey Oswald, didn't appear until 1985. This time darker, the song reflects on the assassination of Kennedy from the perspective of infamy. Questioning human relations became a theme, the contrast and under-lying violence between them.
Their final single, Trans Amor Express, was released in 1988 and expressed their synthesized euro pop to the max, transporting the listener across a world of sensuality and was backed by anthemic John Wayne, also included here, as with all, in remastered form.
Recording throughout this period, 4 unreleased songs are fully realised for the first time. From the driving Pas de Petit Garcon dans mon Avion to the leftfield leanings of Les Guerriers, the Yello-esque Love Is My Weapon and finally, the off kilter closer, Rendez-vous a Malibu, the band finally can be heard as intended, a perfect encapsulation of a new, optimistic, European sound, transposed by the technologies coming to hand."

Luca Lozano and Telephones collaborate on a new concept record for Klasse Wrecks, the concept it simple...1 Record, 2 Artists, 4 Trax! Turning in an original track each the two producers then remix each other resulting in a record that glistens with housey goodness, jazzy hats and snazzy stabs.

Two absolute barnstorming disco house slammers, 1 heavy hitting RNB rework.

DIMITRI FROM PARIS and his brother in crime DJ ROCCA come back to Gomma with a new 3 track EP.
Dimitri is a legend! From his Playboy Mansion compilations to his own tracks, his always inspiring DJ sets and most of all: his never disappointing edits (Prince: I wanna be your lover!). Let's put it like this: Probably there is not one DJ with taste on this planet that hasn't got his personal Dimitri From Paris favorite track in his bag. Dimitri has been doing consistently good music over the last 20 years. Since he first appeared with his very Parisian album Sacrebleu in 1996. He quickly became a worldwide respected European first league eclectic disco DJs - along with DJ Harvey and Ashley Beedle. He officially remixed hundreds of artists. From Björk and New Order to Michael Jackson. He also produced Los Amigos Invisibles "Super Pop Venezuela" album which grabbed a nomination for a Grammy Award. Some years ago he teamed up with Italian producer, DJ and man of many talents DJ Rocca. Rocca might be known to many for his work as Ajello and Crimea X. He also produced music for cosmic DJ hero Baldelli. Dimitri and Rocca have a magic touch. Together they have been doing 3 EPs for Gomma. This is the fourth EP. New school booty electronic disco. Glamorous as ever. Nasty as always.

Two re edits in classic EBO fashion, two massive AOR classics from the late 70s / early 80s, reworked by label owner Jean Claude Gavri, B-side co-produced by Omri Anghel.

Here we have 'Silk Cutlery', the debut EP from Jive Talk on white label only imprint, Not For You Records. It's upfront, chunky and totally tight disco to make you, well, jive!

First up is 'Love Jones'; a bouncy bassline and delicious pitched up vocal illustrate the producers shrewd ear for uncomplicated grooves and is clearly primed for the dancefloor. 'Percussie Sanway' builds gloriously into an out and out stream roller of a track with its glitzy tinges and irresistible bass drive. Wrapping up the record we have some low slung crunk, guided by a vocal tease from Wycleff throughout. On repeat!

This tantalising inception from the London boys is surely a pledge to everything that is right about the genre. Grab it while it's hot!

Studio Barnhus top sound killer Matt Karmil returns to label in perfect form, bringing an EP's worth of those very best 'Matt Karmil dance tracks' in world-famous reduced-but-raucous style.

'Piscine Palace' is therefore the second release, a tribute to the underground Paris of the 80s. It's 3am in the morning in front of the club La Piscine.

The remixes are performed by Tristesse Contemporaine and Headman: the pace is accelerating...

The french producer based in Spain Sebb Junior is back on La Vie D'Artiste Music with a new 4 tracks EP.
