House Vinyl New Releases - News

Arthur Russell's Seminal Disco Cut "is It All Over My Face" Available Commercially For The First Time On 45.

When The Mainstream Turned Its Back On Disco In The Early '80s, It Allowed Dance Music To Once Again Choose Its Own Path. As An Artist, Arthur Russell Routinely Chose The Paths Less Travelled. The Original Male Vocal Mix True To Rusells Vision, Is An Organic Piece That Recreated The Atmosphere Of David Mancuso's Loft. The Story Goes That The Recording Sessions Ocurred During A Full Moon And Included Individuals That Would Often Party At The Loft. An Excersize In Creating A Vibe, The Male Version Of The Song Reflects The Complexity Of Russell's Arrangements And A Maximalist Wall Of Sound That Would Become A Signature Component In His Dance Productions.
Although The Record Recieved Some Crital Acclaim, It Wasn't Initially A Commercial Success. That Came In A Little Later When Famed Dj Remixed The Song
Without Permission From The Label. According To Some, Larry Levan Snuck In To The West End's Offices To borrow' The Multi-tracks To Make An Edit For Himself To Play At The Paradise Garage (also Owned By West End's Mel Cheren). After Getting Positive Feedback At The Club, Larry Decided To Properly Remix It With The Aid Of Francois K (who Opted Not To Be Credited Because Of His Contract With Prelude). Larry Levan's Remix Now Known As The female Vocal Mix' Although More Structured, Is Still Pretty Out There. Melvina Woods, A Dancer From The Loft, Slurs And Misses Notes As If Her Own Loose Joints Were Dusted, But The Animalistic Groove Is So Undeniably In-the-pocket That This Actually Got Local Radio Play Back In The Day And Remains In Constant Cult Club Rotation Today. Of The Two Versions, Larry's Mix Is The One That Went On To Influence Early Chicago House Djs Who Over The Years Have Sampled And Those Exact Same Drums Countless Times. Now That Is Some Real Freaky Stuff.

Redseal records is proud to present South Korean multi instrumentalist, singer and producer Mogwaa. Three monster tracks of Digi reggae meets East Asian influenced vocoder funk make for a special unique record.

Some things just get better with age. House Grooves Vol. 1 mark a part in history, where a young Move D felt ignited by the classic house music sounds of the day. Strict rhythms and nu grooves forged masterful networks with bleeps and clonks, pianos helped synthesizing dopamine and the phuture was wide open. House Grooves Vol.1 embodies that special time and place with a bunch of vintage tracks saved from the abyss. Respectfully edited and dusted with gloves, it features Move D's sought-after magic moment I Gave My Love", a collaboration with Mannheim's house hero See-Base, the bass line swing of Babyphonk' and a breakbeat-led remix by Shan & Gerd Janson that tries to sound like it could have happened back them.

Blue Vinyl Philpot welcomes Mr. Fries to the artist roster! Mr. Fries gained some attention already over the last months with a fantastic release on Wolf Music and now we are proud to present him to you on Philpot. Three tracks with that trademark Philpot-Sound! We were flabbergasted when we received the tracks, how perfect they fit our understanding of groove and sexyness! SoulPhiction played these tracks over the last weeks to some great response and this is already one of his favourite releases on the label! Thanks for purchasing a real copy!

'Jump Trax' is another essential piece of early Chicago house music crafted by the legendary Duane Thamm JR back in 1984. Fusing together a myriad of influences including early 80's Euro pop, Italo Disco and HI NRG, Thamm JR was responsible for helping create and influence the burgeoning House sound that would emanate from the city all throughout the second half of the 1980's. Not only were these sounds new and fresh, they were experimental too, 'Jump Trax' sees the BPM's gradually shift throughout the duration of the tracks seamlessly giving the more adventurous DJ's out there more ammunition and room to experiment with styles and BPM's. A truly visionary approach to production and all recorded and mixed within Chicago's city limits by Thamm JR at his Reel To Reel Studio located in Villa Park, Illinois. 'Jump Trax' continues to be as influential today as it was back in '84, with many top DJ's still citing the record as a 'go to', powerful indeed.

Chicago's Still Music are proud to present this fully legit, remastered and repressed piece of Chicago house history. A truly pivotal record now made available again for 2018. Essential sound for those who love the real deal - snoozing not advised, OG copies of this monster are hard to come by!

Luv Shack Records' newest EP marks the 26th release on the label, and its a classic split affair by stalwart Artists Space Echo and Jakobin & Domino.

Space Echo's 'My Heart, My Soul' evokes the best feelings we have for sample heavy filter house, but manages the transition to modern club standards effortlessly, and elegantly.

"Party Together" is Space Echo in full on laid back funk territory at the start, but quickly turns into a deep and highly addictive stomper that just gets more intense as it goes along.

Jakobin & Domino bring us 'You Want My Love', a disco infused house jam that overflows with sultry vocals, moody fender rhodes hooksa and a super catchy drum sample.

'Filter Queen' is a full on party track that is basically eponymous, but Jakobin & Domino amp up the classic theme (house beat & filtered sample) with a modulated synth sequence, a few well timed fx and a funky beat to boot

Reissue of some of the greatest vocal house tunes ever. Very big in early '90s.

Celebrating two decades of SKYLAX RECORDS, label-head Hardrock Striker teams up with long time friend and music partner DJ Sprinkles, under their new project name SKYLAX HOUSE EXPLOSION (S.H.E.). Forming a template for their future musical projects, they present a large compilation that features a mix CD accompanied by three vinyl releases comprised of unreleased music personally curated by S.H.E.

As with each of the vinyl EPs, they make reference to a particular space as it pertains to the formulation of house music. Under The Ballroom is of particular resonance to DJ Sprinkles who, in the early 90s, started out in transsexual sex worker clubs like Sally's II - where she won an underground grammy for Best DJ 1991 - that were centres for the drag queen ballroom culture that originated in New York City. As with the two EPs before it, Under The Ballroom features tracks personally curated by DJ Sprinkles and Hardrock Striker. Populating the A side is one half of Tuff City Kids, Lauer, who's catalogued leanings towards more 80s dance music sounds are nearly as old as the SKYLAX label itself. On Bigs, Lauer picks out sounds associated with the earlier end of house music with bass tones from older machines, however manifesting themselves comfortably within the context of Paradise Garage, The Loft and The Ballrooms of NYC, which cumulatively, span the decades between the 70s and 90s. He is joined by 100% Silk Alumni and recent SKYLAX RECORDS signee - and DJ Sprinkles fangirl - Octo Octa, who presents Running, a piece full of what are slowly becoming the signature house sounds of the Brooklyn-based producer; pitched vocals and machine noises that ally with some of her tastes for deep textures, drawing from house as well as her love for drum and bass.

Taking up the entire B-side with Soleil Mauve is Violence FM & The Underground Soulsavers, who are making their production debut as part of the 20 Years of SKYLAX Compilation. Lengthy and saturated in a sparse sewing of jarring vocals, Soleil Mauve is an obvious pick for DJ Sprinkles; utilising it at the end of her mix on Disc 1 of the compilation's CD. Under The Ballroom makes up the final piece of the SKYLAX RECORDS 20 Years Compilation, but sets a precedent for future projects presented by SKYLAX HOUSE EXPLOSION.

One part of three releases, Under The Loft accompanies Under The Garage and Under The Ballroom as part of the 20 Years of SKYLAX RECORDS compilation.

Previously on All City via The Smoke Clears, West 2 West & Night Christ John Daly a six 6 track edition of his 10 track digital album 'We Will Live Again'.
.
According to John:
"This music was made over a year and a half period, while i was losing my father to cancer. I don't usually work with concepts, and certainly didnt have one in mind making this, but with something this heavy as the backdrop it had to be an influence, especially since my musical gift came from him. This I am only truly realising now.

The drums and vocals were added later. Dan Walsh from Fixity and others in Cork played the drums. The vocals are by an Italian singer based in Galway, Barbara Vulso.

This is the third album under my own name, having worked with aliases for albums since 2012. It was always going to be so, and again I now realise that given the personal nature of the project it could only be that way, though i didn't know or question why at the time"

Rocksteady Disco Drops Águas De Setembro By Igor B As The Soundtrack For The Northern Hemisphere's Transition From Summer To Autumn.

Joey Negro Presents - Remixed With Love, Exclusive Unreleased Versions. The soul weekender anthem "Circles" gets a Joey Negro make over in Remixed With Love style, making the most of the rich orchestration from the multi track tape and complete with beefy live drums. On the flip the disco classic "Everybody Dance" is reborn as a mainly
instrumental groove with some additional Roy Ayers style vibes to give it a new jazzy flavour.
Originally scheduled for RSD 2017, now officially sanctioned by Universal. Limited Edition 12 Inch.

'Devil In Me' boasts all the hallmarks of a future summer anthem, comprising of a; tight sun-kissed house groove, a familiar sounding funk-driven guitar sample and a catchy vocal co-written by Duane Harden (from Armand Van Helden's 1999 club classic, 'You Don't Know Me') and sung by Joe Killington.

The impressive new single 'Devil In Me' follows on from the recent success of Purple Disco Machine's 'Body Funk' released by the Club Sweat imprint, which hit the #1 spot on Beatport (Indie / Nu-Disco chart) and Traxsource (Nu-Disco chart), becoming the most played track on BBC Radio 1 throughout May, championed by Danny Howard & Pete Tong.

In addition to the single, the talented German is also celebrating his recent award nomination for 'Best House Act' by Ibiza's prestigious DJ Awards. Ranking as the #18 artist in Beatport's all-time Top 100 the accolades keep stacking up. With a colossal remix resume including; Gorillaz, Jamiroquai, Claptone, Faithless, New Order, Two Door Cinema Club, Shapeshifters and Sigma, it's time for Purple Disco Machine to take centre stage for a full length debut worth waiting for.

SB Editz returns! Jad & The open up proceedings with a dubbed out balearic boogie bomb. Tender Games take on the A2 - intertwining infectious guitar licks and synth lines into a supercharged groover. On the B side, Swales incorporates a funked out bass and plucked riffs over the top of some sizzling percussion. Finally label founders SlothBoogie close out the e.p. laying a tasty 303 line & weighty kick over floaty pads and a choice vocal snippet. 4 cuts, 4 artists, 4 winners!

Alma Negra are back on Heist! After their much applauded 2017 release with that great Soulphiction remix, they've been rather busy taking over the scene. They started their new label 'Alma Negra records' where they released 3 ep's in quick succession, with new as well as older material that showcases their tropical roots and keen ear for clubby reworks. They launched their live show, doing gigs across Europe with a highlight at one of London's more intimate live venues: the Jazz Café. Their latest outing -making their release count a total of 4 in only 8 months - was on Marcel Vogel's Lumberjacks in Hell and explored the more live / rework side of their project. Now they're back on Heist with 3 new tracks, supported by an Awanto 3 remix. 'Conversation' is a track we wanted to put out on Heist badly, simply because it's a beast of a track. It sits somewhere between a live African drum track, percussive techno and moody Midwest electronics, with pads and strings coming in and out of play while a relentless kick drum keeps the energy on a haunting level. This track is Alma Negra at their filthiest, and it feels like they've taken a next step from last year's dark and heavy Luanda dub, bringing it from an intimate dreamy stage straight into the main room. 'This is the place' shows a different side of the house spectrum with the Alma's love for dreamy deep house. The track flows up and down, with soothing Rhodes chords, arpeggio's and mumbling vocals setting a summery mood that's perfect for your warm up or daytime party. Meanwhile, their third original track 'From the heart' goes even deeper and navigates around a smart vocal loop topped with strings, bleeps, claps and rimshots that just keeps going.

Instalment three in the Minor Notes Recordings journey sees Baltimore Chop provide four cuts of hard hitting house.'Moving' is straight out of the gate with an acid laced, pumping jam resonating those vocal cries right around your mind, before 'Deep In Your Soul' cruises in with a bustling, low slung, deep house jaunt, sweeping synths behind a hypnotic vocal refrain.
On the flip, 'Again & Again' is a summery, synth laden, garage house groover with the closing track, a remix of 'Deep In Your Soul', rounding off the e.p. in style switching the low slung dynamic to a bassy, club ready bomb.

Booty-shaking & mind-moving! The new S3A release specifically originated and is meant for the dancefloor, one dancefloor in particular to be precise. Taking experience from his alma-mater Rex-Club in Paris, S3A crafts a 4-track EP to honour this legendary venue in the heart of Parisian music history.
The label Times Are Ruff releases a steady stream of DJ-friendly tools and dancefloor ready house-tracks, with a hint to the past but never sounding dated.

A Compilation Which Pays Homeage To The Vocoder, Including Tracks By Sair, Xl Middleton, Liquid Pegasus, Bybo Funk, Lowmac, Adam Chini, Jordan Chini And Ivan Makvel.

Supported and played by: Claptone, Riva Starr, Sonny Fodera, Russ Yallop, Richy Ahmed, Mihalis Safras, Miguel Campbell, Jozif, Stacey Pullen, and many more...

Berlin duo MAT.JOE pair really know how to cook up a storm and once again theyprove that in style with a pair of firing new tracks for their home label MOTHER RECORDINGS. It comes after releases on labels like Hot Trax and Gruuv Recordings and again brims with fresh grooves that will be a fine addition to any set.

STRAWZ opens the account in loose limbed House fashion. Silky drums bobble up anddown and retro stabs and chattering claps add bite to the beats. A heavily treatedvocal pings about and clever effects help build tension before the whole thing dropsinto a fat house kicker.

On the flip, SYNTHPHONY pops off like corn, with cyclical drums and moreretro stabs urging you to dance. A tinny vocal is stitched into the arrangement andkeeps you on edge as loopy bass cuts in and out. Firing and well produced, this ismore dance floor dynamite for all.

Rune Lindbaek joins Bastedos on this new edition featuring two tracks from polar oposites of the BPM spectrum. Side A from Bastedos features a pacey electronic number with flavours of both rock and disco and a singer making the asertion that ' I Just Wanna Dance, I Just Wanna Boogie', surely any listener will be left with a similar desire when they hear this at their favourite discotetheque. Rune slows it down a gear or two for the flip with his version of Supermann, this is a perfect end of the night track that would melt the hips of even the man of steel.

REPRESS ALERT:

Bahnsteig 23 say "Hey! Belarus meet Russia With Love". Schmotlz comes to Bahnsteig schnell after Very Russian Cut Outs espionage. Ze Sky Iz Blu. Ze Sky Iz Blu. Ze Sky Iz Blu. Ze Sky Iz Blu. Ze Sky Iz Blu.Groove Groove Groove iz furher. Psych Soft Rock iz leibhaber. Am und am. Dai Mne Piau...Oww. Oww. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. Piauuuuu...Ugh. Funk verzogen. Soul kilter.

It's bit special this time cause a side is an early 90s house anthem AKIS produced and on the flip side you have the demo he recorded at Vangelis Katsoulis studio during the late 80s.

Art Alfie joined the Toy Tonics crew ! You know him from Studio Barnhus. He released his album last on Axel Boman's label last year and a couple of hot tracks with longtime partner Mr. Tophat before that.

His first EP for Toy Tonics features 3 of the sweetest bangers he did till now. What a wonderful vibe! And the remix ... Killer. By Stockholm's amazing newcomers Mount Liberation Unlimited (who just released an EP on Permanent Vacation).

Art Alfie is busy these days: besides his involvement with Toy Tonics he started a own label (Velvet Pony). Even if you might know him mainly from the kick-Ass dancefloor stuff he has been doing with Karlovak and the Studio Barnhus gang - there is some more complex background here: Alfie used to play in hardcore and psychedelic bands and has a real golden hand when it comes to work with musicians. In fact currently he is also producing some stuff for Swedish supergroup/hotshot band, Off The Meds'!

Yes, stay tuned! Art Alfie is coming on strong in 2019!

Over the course of the last decade, Black Pepper label boss Jose Manuel has proved to be one of electronic music's finest contemporary alchemists, conjuring percussive, intoxicating and otherworldly musical treats for such labels as Tusk Wax, Kinfolk, Kill The DJ, Optimo Trax and Music For Dreams.

The genius of Manuel's productions lies in the Italian's ability to conjure cracking cosmic compositions out of a diverse range of global rhythms, instruments and influences. Rarely has this been more evident than on his debut release for NuNorthernSoul, a four-track serving of dancefloor mysticism that puts mind-altering rhythms and saucer-eyed instrumentation front and centre.

Track, for example, the light and dreamy wrapped sumptuous Balearic synthesizer chords and melodies around gentle hand percussion and drifting Zambian vocals on the sublime 'Journey in Lusaka' followed by the feverish, trance-inducing African rhythms, delay-laden chants, psychedelic acid lines and jangling Jew's Harp motifs of intense opener 'Journey in Lusanda', a ritualistic Afro-Cosmic onslaught ripe for peak-time plays. If the EP opener is all about being flat on your back and staring skywards, the follow up is all about druggy, heads down sweatiness!

Manuel's deep love of Indian music is explored on 'Journey in Mumbai', where exotic sitar lines, fluttering clarinets and echoing, densely layered female vocals rise above a thick, tabla-fired groove. It's naturally hugely evocative and atmospheric - a fine dose of emotion-rich spirituality capable of inducing hallucinations in the straightest of listeners.

To complete the EP, our hero travels even further east for 'Journey in Osaka', a fittingly percussive exploration of Japanese music's past and present that also includes audible nods towards the poly-rhythmic drums of West Africa. It's a superb combination of traditional instrumentation, 21st century electronics, heavyweight rhythms and mood-enhancing melodic flourishes.

Like the rest of the Journeys In...EP, it's both hugely alluring and impeccably produced.

Producer Gavin Hardkiss offers a transcendental sound echoing the '90s with four cuts from the Hawke album Love In Stars.
Sunshine People remix is an active house chug with an unlikely Roxallaesqe breakdown, While the remix of WarPeace by Lee Reynolds from Desert Hearts adds darker overtones that will thrill at desert parties and renegades with it's tripped out, unrelenting drive.Blood Is Thicker Than Water and Take My Breath Away add a bit of Bonobo seasoning on some heartfelt electronic manipulations which define the Hawke sound.

Mang Dynasty are the collective force of Bill Brewster and Ray Mang. Both should need no introduction! Together they combine to form the mighty Mang Dynasty, and deliver 'Crash the Box' - a riot of afrobeat, house and disco stylings, laced expertly with horn stabs and vocal chops, guaranteed to light up any club or festival stage. On the remixes are two exciting up and coming producers currently making waves: Lord Leopard offers a chunky, abstract bumping house version that's good for the floor.
Tee Mango takes a loopy disco excursion, with squelchy synth stabs and party starting vocal."

A year after his debut outing on the label, Max Essa makes a welcome return to Hell Yeah with the Han zon Roc EP, which is another of his impossibly laidback offerings.Essa is of course the long time UK talent who has become a part of the Balearic mafia thanks to releases on labels like Aficionado, Music for Dreams, and his own Jansen Jardin. This is the second coming together of artist and label and is another timeless excursion far out to sea.
Opener 'Han zon Roc (Midori Coup)' is an epic 12 minute adventure that slowly awakens your spirit with new age guitar plucks and heavenly ambience before organic drums slowly being to drift into earshot. They grow ever larger as synths start to spray about the mix, hand drums pitter patter and big chords bring the soul-shine. It's like the soundtrack to an afternoon boat party all condensed into one brilliant cut. 'How You Showed Me Everything' then gets super chill with lazy drum tumbles, bendy guitar lines and scattered hits. Withering cosmic chords colour the airwaves and its a track that will slow your heartbeat to nothing. Last of all, 'Rain Bird's Alfalfa Jam' is a analogue drum work out with early 90s hip hop influences and diving basslines. It's light and airy, nimble and playful and of course filled with the sort of tropical rays that make all of Essa works so brilliantly escapist.

Vague Output is a party, collective, and label out of Baltimore that opposes any teleogical understanding of underground electronic music. The label debuts with a perfect collection of EBM, Italo, Synthwave, and Proto-Techno from Veleno Viola label head Francesco Baudazzi's alter egos Violet Poison, Bakunin Commando, and Diana Berti.

Release number two on the recently birthed Flat White Records, is a 5 track piece of genius from Felipe Gordon, the man who's hot on everybody's lips at the moment.
Not only does he run Nomada Records, the Colombian has previously had releases with the likes of Church, Toy Tonics, Quintessentials and Secret Crunch. He has now teamed up with Flat White Records to bring you an EP that proves that Felipe is definitely one to watch! Deep Fried Banana ft Vagabundo Club Social The title track gets off to a seemingly tame start, engulfing the listener with a combination of Rhodes, percussion and vocals. However this doesn't last for long.. The track then erupts into what is a sure fire dance floor destroyer!
Fellow Colombian countrymen Vagabundo Club Social also feature on the track.Think palm trees, coconuts and a fat Pina Colada! Groove 37
Here we have a track that showcases what Felipe is known for, working his magic with jazz samples. Groove 37 features dreamy piano riffs, paired with sharp percussion and stabs of one of Felipe's many synthesizers. These are all pulled together by a huge bassline that you cant help but groove to.
The track features a vocal sample which gives instructions on how to dance.. Like you need any help with this one! Fighting Momios with Acid and Jazz After an almost hypnotic start, a thumping kick and crunchy bass soon turn this track into a bit of a stomper. Just as you get going, Felipe has yet again worked his wizardry by including some romantic piano samples which continue throughout. A lazy brass solo is the final ingredient in what is one hell of a tasty track. 707 Banger
Pounding drums, vocal shots and chord stabs. This up-tempo jam is a peak time banger. Once the relentless intro has got you warmed up, you're introduced to a faultless bassline and synth combo. When you're then hit with the acid, you'll lose your shit.
Deep Fried Banana (The Last Trip To Gandahar Remix)
City Fly and Leicester's very own "The Last Trip To Gandahar" has worked his magic on the title track to come up with what can almost be described as a very classy, disco dub. By chopping and changing elements of the original, "Last Trip" has created a builder that eventually peaks with a trance inducing mix of percussion, vocals and chords, before throwing you back into the disco stomper that it once was.

Aaro DiCosta EP is a debut for both the artist himself and the record label Elossa Records. Elossa Records is a record label ran by Helsinki based DJ Marc Fred. Focusing on music with positive power - feel good dance music without strict genre restrictions. Aaro DiCosta is a long time producer with deep roots in funk, boogie and disco. Aaro DiCosta EP contains 4 melodic and powerful tracks for early mornings and late night shifts. An edition of 300 copies.

DJ Dan has been a pinnacle of the dance music scene in America since the early 90s and has toured around the world with the likes of Carl Cox, DJ Sneak and Pete Tong to name a few. Dan's label imprint InStereo is played by many top DJs around the world and Dan has chosen some of his strongest releases for Vol. 1 of the Slammin Trax series.

Recorded in Denmark in 1986 by the then up and coming afro pop singer Kojo Antwi from Ghana, the tunes were issued in limited numbers as he was leaving Denmark, sparking his international solo career after he left the Classique Vibes. Though a popular favourite on cassette in Ghana his debut album was only released in small numbers in Europe and never achieved the same attention. The tracks selected here showcases Kojo's transition from the highlife sound of the Classique Vibes to the more drum machine driven highlife disco on 'Hini Mi' as well as the deep, computerized reggae on 'Emeribi Be Ba'.
