House Vinyl New Releases - News

A true Balearic classic. One of a handful of records that can comfortably boast this title, Elkin & Nelson's 1979 classic 'Jibaro' sits in the canon of selections that enlightened the ears of the jet-set and globe trotting music fanatics in the heady and much storied years of the White isle in the 1980's. The Colombian brothers Javier and Leon Marin Velez brought their own rustic brand of folksy-Rock-Psychedelia to the listening public in 1974 with their debut LP 'Angeles Y Demonios' on Columbia records. The brothers had relocated to Spain, snared a major label deal and ran with it. The first of 3 LP's it proved a big hit in later years with adventurous DJ's and selectors. A cult record you might say. Of course, this LP featured 'Jibaro' in all it's forms, but it is this 1986 reissue 12" promo pressing with it's iconic, distinctive jacket that was the coveted slab sonic adventurers were seeking. Fully sanctioned and legitimately remastered from the original sources and packaged in it's original Columbia promo sleeve 'Jibaro' is back on the shelves, still an incredible record that gets pulled by the most discerning selectors across the globe. A true classic, featured here in it's long and short versions as per the '86 release. Absolute top-shelf stuff here, essential, must own and classic.

Kalita Records are proud to announce their third release, an official reissue of IWABO's 'Reggae Down', a Caribbean funk bomb of the highest calibre perfect for the modern discerning dancefloor.

The band's only ever record, originally released in June 1985 in a small pressing quantity of just five-hundred copies, 'Reggae Down' has been a staple semi-unknown weapon for various well-known selector DJs across the globe, and we feel that it is now perfect time to share this gem with you as well. The A side is perfect for moving the dancefloor into next gear, whilst 'Smile On Your Face' is a joyous reggae track designed for the more chilled occasion.
Accompanied with liner notes and a never-before-seen photo of the band, Kalita Records are excited to be unearthing and shining a light on this record once again.

Toot Toot, Beep Beep, out of the way! KiNK's taster for his up-and coming album on Running Back is here.

"Perth" is a prime-example of the Bulgarian producer's unstoppable good times ware. Taken from "Playground", the three versions here are dripping with grease. Split between the original, a chord mix and a beat version, it's all you ever wanted from a single. Perfect house music for techno DJs and techno music for disco DJs. We strongly recommend the use of two copies back and forth...fun, fun, fun!

Final volume in the 'WALK.MAN' mix series. A 4 track of burners and disco thuds.
'CLOUD BREAK' bolts out the blocks with deadly bongo drums and heady vocal whilst 'DON'T YOU' opens it out on the breakdown with xxxy. 'MAGNOLIA' is looped up phaser disco distilled. Finished with the glacial 'UR SALVATION'.

Anna Wall & Corbi's take on Queen drummer Roger Taylor's 'Two Sharp Pencils (Get Bad)'. The result One of the most unlikely and essential party records of 2017. Queen and house music: not necessarily the most obvious of bedfellows, but Music For Freaks has never been a label to take the path most travelled. Over the course of their de-cades long journey the label founded by Luke Solomon and Justin Harris has released uni-quely idiosyncratic dance music, establishing the label as a go-to imprint for those seeking imaginative, unpredictable records that still undeniably work on the dancefloor. Their latest release might well be among the most out-there of them all. Originally released back in 1984, 'Two Sharp Pencils (Get Bad)' is a record by Queen drum-mer Roger Taylor, featuring him on vocals as well as drums, bass & guitar. Now brought bang up to date via a fully official and endorsed remix courtesy of Anna Wall & Corbi, this overlooked album track looks set to become one of the summer's most essential records. Born and bred in the UK, Anna Wall is a DJ, producer and label owner who is a key player in London's underground house music scene. Her label The Bricks champions up-and-coming producers, while Anna herself has DJ'd all over the world, most recently for Mixmag at Pacha for their IMS launch party. Corbi is an Ibiza-based DJ and producer, A&R for the highly respected FINA Records and co-founder of Melon Bomb, a party and DJ collective that has in the space of just a couple of years become one of the White Isle's most talked-about exports. Having met while working at house giant Defected Records some years ago, Anna felt that Corbi would be the perfect studio accomplice to work on the remix of 'Two Sharp Pencils'.

After a thorough testing on dancefloors across Asia, we have put together four tracks most in demand, all edited by the Homesick team and their close friends.

"Love Can't Turn Around" is a Chicago House ANTHEM! A true classic of the genre. Universally recognized and loved, it made history as the very first House record to reach the UK singles charts in 1986 and continues to find new fans today.

Inspired heavily by Isaac Hayes' underground Disco smash "I Can't Turn Around", a record that was very big in various Chicago clubs getting plays from DJ's like Ron Hardy, Frankie Knuckles and more. With "Love Can't Turn Around" Farley and Jesse re-appropriated Hayes' Disco vibe and updated it with drum machines, synths and of course, Mr.Darryl Pandy's unique vocal performance centering around the desperation of a lover who has been wronged. A truly influential track that opened the doors for many producers and DJ's in the decades to follow.

Here, for the first time, the definitive mixes of this all time classic record are available in one place.
Re-mastered and re-issued in conjunction with Trax Records this essential Chicago record lives on.

Bouncing on the delightfully twisted 9/8 groove, this is a unique contact with a multiverse under meticulous construction, an excursion abundant in haunting tunes and unfamiliar melancholy.

By now, the world is familiar with the extensive works of monsieur Dimitri From Paris. His prowess as a globetrotting DJ and taste-maker for over 20+ years, his reputation for the finer things in life, his sartorial style and of course most importantly his infamous remixes and Disco edits. Isn't it odd that until now, there hasn't been an official home for the man's stellar reworks It just doesn't make any sense. This is exactly the reason that he has decided to set up this brand new venture - Le Edits Records. Naturally, a high standard of quality is present with all Le Edits releases across the board - From sourcing 100% virgin vinyl used for pressing to the mastering through tape, to the beautifully crafted and designed 'tip-on' sleeves that were popular with record companies in the 1960's and 1970's, to the wonderfully imagined graphic design that adorns said sleeves - Dimitri has overseen every aspect of this, his first label.
'What about the music' we hear you ask Well, simply put, only the finest Disco reworks are to be released on Le Edits. Fans will be treated to Dim's special versions of classics and rarer than rare tracks, all lovingly re-touched and mixed from the reels and master tapes each time, fully sanctioned and created in conjunction with the artists, rights holders and Above Board Distribution. 100% official and 100% essential. This is no 'under the counter' operation, Le Edit is here to bring back some quality and class to the re-edit game by doing things, once and for all, properly and respectfully. The first duo of reworks on Le Edits are 2 tracks that should be more than familiar with all Disco aficionados, coming out strong Dimitri has decided to set things off with a bang by bringing a French chic to the music!
New York Disco legends Odyssey have long been a cult group with dancers and DJ's. They've had numerous commercial and underground club hits throughout their career and they are still performing live and writing material today. 'Native New Yorker' - their first single, and surely their most well known record and biggest hit has always been a huge crossover record since it's release in 1977, a track you could hear in the clubs as well as on the radio and at neighborhood parties and weddings that has endured the test of time. No-one has ever had the opportunity to rework 'Native New Yorker', at least, not from the original 1977 tape. Until now. Dimitri has taken this evergreen classic and respectfully added his own classic touch and flourishes with an extra-special 'DFP Super Disco blend'. A beautifully fresh and original take on the Disco anthem, Dimitri's rearrangement is markedly different from the original '77 mix and pushes the track into exciting new territory. A masterclass indeed.
Joining Odyssey on this beautiful slab of wax is another monumental club classic, another track that will be familiar to anyone with an interest in Disco. This one is truly epic and has long found it's way into the bags of DJ's and the eardrums of dancers since it originally came out way back in 1979. It's been re-released so many times over the years with many different mixes due to it's continuing popularity and it has also been famously covered and in the pop charts. Ladies and gentlemen we give you a 'DFP DJ Friendly Remix' of Dan Hartman's 'Relight My Fire'! Again, with this reworking Dimitri has tackled the master tapes to give us his vision of the ideal mix. Dimitri has skilfully put the open drums right upfront in the mix making this a versatile cut for the DJ's, leading us into what is surely one of the most recognisable vocal vamps of all time courtesy of the legendary Loleatta Holloway. It's only a matter of time before the iconic piano break drops and we're in! This mix will surely cause the dancefloor to burn up. A high energy, roof raising version of an anthem.
Le Edit is starting off in fine style as you can see. This is the first of many and Dimitri has many more incredible mixes and edits hidden up his finely tailored sleeve. Join us on the dancefloor as we elevate the art of edits and present new visions of dance classics from the past - DFP style!

It's with two kisses and a hearty handshake that Bordello A Parigi welcome stalwart of electronic music: Mr Pauli. Schooled on the West Coast, this pivotal figure has worked extensively with likeminded visionaries to create iconic tracks as the Novamen, Matzo & Pauli and Sumerian Fleet whilst producing his own unique works on labels like Moustache and Viewlexx. After such successes Pauli returns as a solo producer, delivering to the Bordello mansion two tracks of pure class. 'At Night' is big, bright and brilliant. Hooks grip as soon as the needle lands. Vintage vocoder lyrics, a particular favourite of this trailblazer, tell a tale of twilight romance while crisp beats snap and notes sail. The flip keeps the fires burning. Synthlines are soaked in Mediterranean sunshine, an Italo Disco influence coming to the fore, with lovelorn vocals used to balance this cheer-filled creation. Golden sounds from a true pionee

Those familiar with the world of dub disco and modern Balearica should know all about Layne Fox, a San Francisco-based producer who has released some killer records over the last decade as part of noted collective 40 Thieves.

The Bay Area ensemble has been responsible for some killer records, including gems on Rong Music and Leng, who released their expansive debut album The Sky Is Yours back in 2014.

Now, Fox has decided to go it alone for an outing on Magic Feet that marks his first solo outing since 2005's Move Me under the Tuffy alias. It's something of a gem, too, effortlessly combining many of his familiar influences with nods towards druggy Italo-disco and horizontal pop.

Fox delivers two contrasting versions of No Runnin' Away. There's a Vocal Mix, where Sunny's icy, atmospheric voice drifts over a chugging mid-tempo groove built around a Moroder-style bassline, swirling electronics, dreamy chords and metronomic beats. Typically, Fox also provides a tasty Dub, where select vocal snippets drift in an out of a delay and reverb heavy mix that also gives increased prominence to his stretched-out synths and late night electronics.

Magic Feet boss Craig Bratley handles remix duties himself, offering a complimentary but notably different interpretation. His version subtly emphasizes the track's downbeat pop credentials, pushing the vocal to the fore above a sparse electro groove, dreamy pads and flashes of acid-inspired electronics. Think Cold Wave vibes but with actual production values, not pretend 'mastered on cassette'. It's the perfect accompaniment to Fox's hypnotic, head-in-the-clouds original.

Masterworks Music certainly know how to make an entrance, kicking off this new series, 'Bag Of Tricks', with a star-studded cast. Picking the best high-end sizzlers from a who's who of the nu-disco scene. Highlights include the sublime slicked-out Chic-style electro-disco of Rayko 'Looks Like Love', the shiny 80s synth-soul seducer 'Too Much For Me To Take' by Dr Packer and the shoulder-padded power-stomp of 80s Child's 'Bangkok Nights' Pressed on

This record is pure Italian craftsmanship and brought to you by Mushrooms Project & Almunia. Expect dark balearic summer vibes all over this one. Fellow countrymen Daniele Baldelli & Dionigi gave 'Arena Raindrops' a cosmic makeover. Artwork coverage comes from the north of The Netherlands where Klaas Jonkman was inspired by the Rupicola Peruvianus to paint the cover of this record. Enjoy this piece of art.

THE NITE OWL DINER co-founder ALEX BURKAT finally graces us with a full EP! "SPINNING PLATES", "STYLE WARS", "MOVING DAY" and "RED PINEAPPLE" are all driving late night stompers sure to leave an impression long after the party has ended. Support from THE BLACK MADONNA, OCTO OCTA & others.

Tracy Island announces Episode 2 of the 10 piece concept series with 'The Unlimited'. This time the musical transmission comes from Beach Wizards, the secondary alias of the well renowned collective Seahawks, offering their interpretation of Island mentality. The release opens with the ever growing mood of 'The Diamond Sea' - 18 minutes of building disco strings and stabs, rolling bongos and percussion, and intermittent ambience with an A side offering a true listening experience. 'Don't you wanna get off.' Get out the city they called. The B side starts and ends with the lulling sound of midnight waves in a downbeat balearic boogie of rain chimes and head nodding subs. Between these tides interjects 'Lucky Dips' on the B2, with melodies from an aquatic saxophone from below the surface.

"For WS021 we head to Italy where we find a duo by the name of Concret aka Italo-Mexican musician Diego Angelico Escobar and producer Q-pha. Together, they submit a couple of ethereal, stripped-back and driving techno tracks that compliment each other so well they appear to be brother and sister from the same session. On remix duty we've got another Italian, Rodion, who ads his signature sound to Ritorno and flips it into a laid-back dark groover. Last but not least is UK's Heretic, aka Timothy Clerkin, who remixes Andata into a classy acid burner fit for a massive warehouse party or dark, sweaty basement. "
