House Vinyl New Releases - News

Across the street from where Trouw used to be, lies a nice little hotel. It was in the basement of this hotel, where a curious meeting happened. Something so coincidental and so unassumingly trivial, that even the slightest event of randomness could have prevented this from ever happening, yet it did happen and here we are. This curious meeting was the result of an open studio door of Nachtbraker, and the hint of disco coming out the door, where Dr. San Proper just happened to pass by in search of whatever it is he searches for at 10 am on a Tuesday. The good doctor decided to walk in, greeted Nachtbraker in his ordinary weird way and casually grabbed a microphone. Nachtbraker pressed record, Dr. Proper got his inner Mick Jagger on, and behold: Misses, madame, mademoiselle was born: an up-tempo disco groove with Nachtbraker's touch of loose arrangement, and San Proper's amazing vocals. We asked our good friends and great producer duo Session Victim to re-interpret M.m.m. and they gave it a great dreamy-but-groovy twist, adding pads and shuffling hi-hats. We had already heard Nachtbraker working on a deep house - meets - afro track a while back and he made 2 versions of this track to complement the EP. Hamdi is probably one of the most euphoric tracks in his discography to date, and it's one you're likely to hear a lot in the coming time. With the use of chopped vocals (we'll let you figure out the source material) and a teasing build up, the track breaks down into a lovely chant, adding energy with every bar without ever coming close to being tacky or overproduced. The alternate version is an excursion into 808 booty territory, using different chops, alienating loops and yes, even a siren.

Pender Street Steppers drop in on the lo-NRG side with MH008 : The Glass City / Golden Garden. This vinyl record could be compared to a Home Depot furnished office complex or a slimy algae covered rock briefly revealed by the tide. This is music for car parks, drywall delivery vans, and days when the air smells fresh but slightly shitty.
The record is already seeing huge support from DJs such as Pender Street Steppers!

Danilo Braca (danyb) arrived in Brooklyn from his native Rome in 2012. Playing around town, running sound at local venues and slowly allowing these edits--informed by many years working the floors across Europe--to evolve on and off the dancefloors of New York City. Check his web radio TSoNYC - The Sound of New York City.
Busted Vol. 2 continues the journey with a fine foot-stompin slap bass jam, followed by a foot-workin & vibe heavy Jazz funker.
The B side gives us some top drawer psychedelic soul and another awesome cosmic cut that wraps up a package of the finest obscure floor-shakers around
One hell of a 12" ladies & gentlemen !

Kalita Records are extremely proud to announce their first release, the three choice cuts from NST Cophie's 1980 private press Ivory Coast Afro-disco album 'Mon'Da Center'.
After moving to Paris in 1976 and having played with other well-known bands such as N'Bamina, Osibisa, and with numerous artists including Jimmy Hyacinthe and Papa Wemba, 'Mon'Da Center' was Ernest's first solo album. Recorded at Studio Caroline in Paris's 20th sector over the space of one week, this self-funded ultra-rare album regularly exchanges hands for eye-watering prices.
Pretty much unknown except to the most hardened of diggers, 'Bian Kou', 'E Clolo' and 'Mioukouna' are guaranteed to set any dance floor alight, with hypnotic Afro-disco grooves, killer drums and angelic female vocals.
We hope that you love the tracks as much as we do, and invite you to join us in celebrating the musical world of NST Cophie's, all on glorious 180 gram vinyl! Accompanied with liner notes and exclusive photos!

SPACEY HOUSES would have been part of the old KNARESBOROUGH FOREST when Blind Jack roamed The Nidd Valley way back in 1888. Now it's a district that divides the Yorkshire Ridings Counties. The very first Dream House EP - 1.1 introduced a talent from Wattrelos by the name of JIMINI. He then created the very first Return Tripp EP and now the very first SPACEY HOUSES. A record specifically space crafted by Jimini & Luv*Jam together.

Originally released in October 2016 - 'Maajo' marked the inauguration of a new imprint: Queen Nanny. Spread across 4 sides of vinyl, the LP was a 'meandering journey' that saw a newly formed Finnish five-piece expand and develop a canon set by Herman Prime's EP under the same title that was released via Seagull in 2015.
Following it's warm reception, Queen Nanny returns with an all-star remix package that sees Luke Vibert, Call Super and Dengue Dengue Dengue all interpret selections from the original album. Altogether a tougher and more contorted collection of music - the remixes effectively pull Maajo out of it's habitual home-listening environment and drop it directly on the dancefloor to stunning effect - TIP.

Another sizeable bite outta the Big Apple !The mighty NY EDITS series returns ! VERY limited and mysterious one-off 12's emanating, as you might expect, from the city that never sleeps
Put together by a legendary NY record store owner from a personal stash of edits constructed for back in the day club play, which still sound super fresh and effective today !
Always a presale sellout - so don't snooze

DEDICATION, the collaboration of Felix Dickinson and Mikey Yamada. Felix spent 10 years playing at Lifeforce in Tokyo. An international DJ & producer, current status - head honcho at Cynic Music. Recently nominated for a 'Best DJ Award' DJ Mag. Mikey Yamada, Japanese designer & originator of the band. The name DEDICATION comes from Yamada's Japanese clothing brand. Past releases feature Robert Owens and Brendon Reily on DFA, Golf Chanel & Futureboogie. A couple of their in-demand cuts, recently released on Claremont, including the sublime Let Me Rock You'. 'SHOW ME LOVE' - tactile, groovy emotion rich, chunks of deep disco brilliance. CRAZY P vocalist DANIELLE MOORE is the cherry on the cake of this sweet first release on AIP MUSIC - London based Katie Barber & Michelle Kelly, currently lighting up dancefloors with their exotic, sunny sounds. AIP MUSIC original tracks on vinyl and maybe a super-sexy edit or two.

Hard Ton, Italy's extravagant duo of all things house music are back on Luv Shack Records, unleashing six steaming hot tracks on the "Queer Nation EP" - a precursor to the first full Hard Ton album that is due for 2017."Queer Nation" has singer Max swapping his falsetto with a dark mangled voice, reciting names of queer icons over a dry acid house track that rejoices in repetition, and rightly so.Classic Music head honcho Luke Solomon's remix of "Queer Nation" builds up an intense 707 drum pattern, underlining rhythm guitars and Max's voice, ending in a bold acid climax.
Italian newcomers Younger Than Me also take on "Queer Nation", marrying an early 80's wave touch with a classic house approach.
SIDE B:
When Hard Ton pair up with ROTCIV, "Style Galore" awaits us. The cut up hushed vocals are thrown into a lush melange of filtered pad shots, Juno basslines, glimpses of 303 and a percussive house groove.
"Yeah Yeah" featuring Moralez & Sames is an ode to early Detroit and Chicago house, with Max singing vigorously, syncopated hihats swirling and stabs nodding towards lil Louis.
The final track is a LeSale disco dub of "The Way You Rock feat. Mirror People". LeSale strips the original drums completely, rearranging the vox, piano and synths to fit his disco workout edit style, adding a cheeky synth bassline to complete the boogie redress.

COLLECTOR'S EDITION, FLOURESCENT HAND SILKSCREENED JA

Jean Claude Gavri's Restore label returns with their third release featuring four brand new reworked edits by some of the leaders in the scene such as Opolopo, Ezlv, Jean Claude Gavri himself, Sleazy McQueen & Vinyladdicted..

Following on from the first part of Heatwave remixes, Mike Maurro digs deep into this legendary groups catalogue to bring us another duo of stellar reworkings. This time their Jazz-Funk classic 'The Groove Line' from 1977 gets the MM remix treatment and is backed with their evergreen slow-jam 'Always And forever'. 2 deeper cuts this time but the quality is just as high as Maurro really understands this music and knows what to use and how. Fans of Heatwave will undoubtedly adore these new mixes and people who are new to the group will be amazed they hadn't checked out the legendary Mr. Rod Temperton and his super talented pan-European band of musicians before! Naturally, everyone is welcome to this party....
Another amazing addition from Brookside Records to the ever growing archive of classic Disco, Funk & Soul treats that we, as music lovers, are lucky to experience. Much care and love has been taken with these new mixes, and new life has been breathed into Heatwave's music. Both mixes utilise some previously unheard studio ad-libs and instrumentation to fantastic effect, shining some new light on tracks that are engraved in the psyches of millions of dancers, DJ's and music lovers, no mean feat, but Mike Maurro pulls it off beautifully.
Again, Brookside bring us another set of cult Disco cuts reworked beautifully for 2017's ears, essential stuff for all lovers of this kind of music, this release is simply unmissable. The record comes with lovingly reworked Heatwave artwork and these remixes are exclusive to this release and are fully, 100% legit, licensed and sanctioned by all relevant rights holders.
Simply put, another set of essential mixes from a modern day master!

Coming to life on a hazy cloud of natural instrumentation and meditative composition, Modern Manners tap into the appetite for delicate new age musings beautifully on this debut release. "Amor Y Odio" is laced with Spanish guitar musings that spiral out over a simple but effective drum break that harks back to classic downtempo, while "Running With Me" edges towards a more sprightly lounge headspace while retaining the rich musicality felt on the first track. "Instant Illusion" is propelled by a bassline that wouldn't sound out of place on a house track, but here its punching out in a subtle, laid back environment that aims to get you horizontal in the most sophisticated way possible.

Name in Lights have been organising parties, DJing, producing music and running their own label Feed for a long time.
Fact is - they are kind of royalty back in Stockholm.
After releasing records on Under The Shade, Free Association, Let's Play House, as well as getting remixed by Dr Dunks and Axel Boman it's now time to present two tracks on Omena.
Believe it or not but the ties between Omena and Name In Lights go way back. All Inclusive is that type or track you would either start or end the night with while Post Mortem sounds like DJ Koze and Isolee would have a baby together.
On this release there are two remixes which completely flip the originals. Underground hero Samo DJ is a force to be reckoned with. With recent releases on The Trilogy Tapes, Public Possession and an album on Snaker together with Maxxxbass he found time to work 'All Inclusive' into something completely new.
Watch out for the end.
Finally label boss Tooli delivers a remix filled with as much rhodes and conga as your heart desires.

Fellow earthlings, cast your gaze skywards. If you're quick, you might see Earthboogie's intergalactic cruise ship coming in to land.

While they've been DJing around London and beyond with their custom built Quod sound system for some time, the Mr Mystery EP marks their debut appearance on Leng Records. It's the first time the fruits of their studio labours, recorded in the space they call The Control Room, have made it onto vinyl.

Izaak Gray and Nicola Robinson's musical vision is delightfully hard to pigeonhole, but is arguably best summed up by their self proclaimed dedication to all things 'intergalactic, cosmic, tribal and terrestrial'. Some may draw clear parallels with the Afro-cosmic work of Italian pioneers Daniele Baldelli and Beppe Loda, where rock guitars, disco riffs, vintage synthesizers and heavy African drum rhythms are all thrown into the musical melting pot.

On the A-side, you'll find 'Mr Mystery', a bongo-laden chunk of hypnotic, low-slung voodoo disco full of haunting flute lines, flanged funk guitars, heavy drum machine kicks, impassioned yelps, cascading chords and crunchy clavinet lines. It's an intoxicating, early morning trip that achieves a near perfect balance between thrusting danceflooor heaviness and head-in-the-clouds daydreaming.

Things get even steamier on the flip, where the intergalactic, Afro-disco hustle of 'Route Ten To Interzone' ushers aboard Earthboogie's star-bound cruiser. Built around an irrepressible groove - think restless electronic bass, hard-wired disco-funk guitars and layered tribal drums - the track surges forward on a wave of chanted vocals, spacey synth solos and irrepressible disco flourishes.

'The E.B Theme', a kind of aural call to arms, completes a fine first foray into music production. A little looser, hazier and deeper than the rest of the EP, the tracks is propelled forwards on waves of dreamy chords, lilting trumpet motifs, spacey electronics, tumbling disco guitars and a bassline that recalls the early days of Chicago deep house. It's a wonderful end to a notably impressive debut 12'.

HOT Stuff!!! Just like buses, you wait for one, then two come at once! Vinyl Only, Warehouse Find!

It is time for the Nang and Rayko worlds to collide once more. The awesome Madrid-based DJ and producer is back with his second album on Nang. As ever the grooves are wide, the beats are large and the musical elements ooze funk and nu disco sheen.

Thing open up with the title track and recent single "No Stopping". The track features the fine vocals from Tania Haroshka and it is a powerhouse of synth disco, electronic groove with real bass guitar and darting guitars giving it just a tint of Miami Vice sheen. 2016 single "Crazy" is up next with it's catchy hooks and counter melodies. It comes with just the right amount of good-time groove to bring a smile to any face. Things tone down "Robot Life" which is a creeping synth fest with wandering grooves and chunky drums.

Danielle Moore features with a fine vocal on a 'pure Rayko' style classic "Cosmic Pirate". Muscular basses and darting guitars being deployed to maximum effect. "Ocarina Of Time" is next with its layered complexity and stabby synth bass notes.

Tania Haroshika returns for the final trio of tunes on the album. Her fine vocals melding effortlessly with the slick production from our hero. First up is "HOT" which builds the music slowly adding layers of multi tracked guitars and real bass before breaking forth into song. "U" sneaks in from the leftfield with its quirky strings and arpegiated synth-clavi lines. The album closes with the (slightly) melancholic and pensive groover "Space Boat". Tania adding a brooding vocal over a pulsating juno style bassline.

A fine effort from our Madrid based hero who once again shows everyone what this "top-of-his-game" DJ-producer can do with some guitars and keyboards. Bravo

After his banging EP#1 on AUS, Tee Mango's back for the 5th installment in his Tribute project, inspired by the much referenced Theo Parrish quote: Love of the music should be the driving force of any producer, performer or DJ.Everything else stems from that core, that love. With that love, sampling can become a tribute; An expansion on ideas long forgotten, reconstruction, collage.
TIME IS NOW Time is Now comes off like Adamski era Seal rerub for the small hours. Replete with hypnotic looped piano and drums sounding like they were lifted
from Vaughan Mason's Raze house archive. Simply sweet sweet electronic music. MAKE IT LAST FOREVER
The B side is Tee Mango on home turf, with a selection of choice samples under his cap (from a record you might recognise), some simple loose sampled drums and a smattering of dub delay.
Love for this series coming from: Axel Boman, Benji B, Artwork, Fred P, and a heap of others.These #Tribute releases sell out pretty quick, my hunch is that these will not hang about.

Coming off the heels of our T.O.2.C. compilation, we return to the Kolour LTD mothership with the stylings of Frenchman & Moonrise Hill resident Ethyene. Clubs, Dubs, & Rubs is a five-track affair that undoubtedly shows just how diverse the French underground house sound can be.

Having made her mark on Brazil's rich musical legacy with three best-selling albums to date, Rio's original nu-bossa queen returns with a tour de force of golden-era Brazilian soul music. From the spiritual swing of the early pioneers of modern Samba, to the dizzying hedonism of Brazil's eighties disco/boogie craze, Clareia is a life-affirming journey through the rich and varied sounds Sabrina Malheiros has been immersed in since she can remember. For her most up-lifting and danceable album to date, Sabrina has (as always) enlisted her father Alex Malheiros - bassist of samba jazz-funk legends Azymuth - and visionary London based producer Daniel Maunick (aka Dokta Venom), son of Incognito's Bluey.

Sabrina Malheiros' career has often been characterised by her place in the succession of those special Brazilian women who, with unmistakable talent and effortless grace, have encapsulated the magical energy of Brazil with their voices. Elis Regina, Astrud Gilberto, and Joyce all had it, and Sabrina Malheiros has it in spades.'(MOJO) With her debut album Equilibria in 2005, Sabrina arrived on a wave of instant acclaim, carving out her place as the pioneering voice of a new brand of Brazilian soul music, rooted in the traditions of samba and bossa, but with an edge of contemporary electronic sophistication. Sabrina's innovative nu-bossa sound would continue with the 2006 remix album 'Vibrasons' followed by sophomore 'New Morning' - declared the best album of summer 2008'(Evening Standard), before 2011's best-seller Dreaming.

Six years on, Sabrina returns with Clareia. Itmeans to clear, light, brighten or illuminate, which, after seeing Brazil and the rest of the world go through some very difficult times, is exactly what the writing of this album brought to my life.' All tracks are written by either Sabrina, or in collaboration with her father Alex Malheiros and producer Daniel Maunick. Written and recorded in Niteroi, Brazil, overlooking Gunabara Bay and Rio's beaches, mountains and forests, the music basks in its surroundings and sings of ecological beauty, peace and sanctuary. Echoing Sabrina's emphasis on clarity, Alex notes that the album's title represents an appeal to the minds of our civilization today, to clear our thoughts for good and for peace.'

This pursuit of clarity continued into the studio: It took a little longer than usual' notes Sabrina, which was good in way, as all my previous albums were recorded in rush and we usually had a week for pre-production and another week in the studio, which always gave me the feeling that I could do better. With this album it was different... we took our time.'

Sabrina's unmistakable voice has never sounded better. Packed out with high-octane swinging samba-soul, like the title-track and 'Salve O Mar', the album also features some bottom-heavy Brazilian boogie cuts, like rejoicing album opener 'Celebrar' which harks back to some of Marcos Valle's cult '80s disco output, and 'Sol Ceu E Mar' is a Tania Maria-esque future classic of scorching latin-funk. Mellower moments are found in 'Em Paz', on which Sabrina's beguiling harmonies find an anchor in the rhythmic acoustic guitar of Ze Carlos', who Sabrina heralds as being the best guitarist I have ever worked with'. Azymuth's keyboardist Kiko Continentino's deft Rhodes, piano, organ and synth playing, add ever more textures of distinctly Brazilian brilliance throughout, while tropical brass and flute arrangements on cool bossa-jazz movers 'Vai Maria' and 'Sandore', come from Brazilian saxophone legend Leo Gandleman, a man who has worked with everyone from Gal Costa to Gilberto Gil. The rhythm section combines Daniel Maunick's seamless drum programming and the organic polyrhythms of Brazilian percussion legend Jakare, all punctuated by Alex Malheiros' inimitable (occasionally slapped) jazz-funk bass, giving the album its irresistibly danceable pulse.

Set for release at the height of summer this year, Clareia is an intergenerational masterclass of Brazil's soulful spectrum, led by a pioneering voice of today's scene on the very top of her game. The up-lifting compositions, which take inspiration from the stunning natural beauty amongst which the album was made, and the call for the clarity of mind needed to preserve it, are enriched by this special team of some of Brazil's most established musicians. Like the sun breaking through tropical storm-clouds, Clareia is a vessel of joy, as Sabrina puts it simply, I hope Clareia brightens the soul of whoever listens to it. That's the spirit of this album.'

After 2014's brilliant Hoshi LP, Hell Yeah Recordings is delighted to announce a second album from Italians Tempelhof and acclaimed countryman and composer Gigi Masin. Entitled Tsuki and due for release late April, it features nine tracks of exquisitely designed modern ambient with a blissful tinge of the beach, sun and sea.
Tempelhof is musicians Luciano Ermondi and Paolo Mazzacani, a pair who have put out three great albums and many magical EPs since 2009. They are expert craftsmen who are skilled musicians with a rare grasp of melody, rhythm and timbre. Once again here their work with Gigi Masin—who was picked as one of the best artists of 2015 by many outlets, and who enjoyed lots of love for his re-issued Wind album, amongst others—is soothing, stunning and serene.
Things open up with Tuvalu a rippling, suspensory track full of lush chords, floating synth lines and angelic harmonies. From there things stay perfectly horizontal, with dangling hang drums and transcendental drum lines slowly unfolding on tracks like Corner Song.
Tracks like Vampeta, with their drifting trumpets and plaintive pianos, are hugely absorbing and captivating. They feel orchestral in makeup, with live drums and oodles of reverb cocooning you in beautiful sound. Far from performing the same trick over and over, darker, more sombre moods also pop up on Komorebi', whispered vocals make for tender additions to Blue 13' and the glassy textures and clear summer skies of Labyrinth take you to another place entirely.
This is another faultless album from Tempelhof and Gig Masin that is not only musically adventurous and hugely accomplished, but is also expertly emotional and honest.

YOU KNOW FILMS & ATLANTIC FILMS FEATURE LENGTH DOCUMENTARY CHRONICLING THE INCREDIBLE STORY OF THE ROLAND TR-808 DRUM MACHINE

Released in 1983, Guy Cuevas' 12' Single "Obsession" is probably one of the ''best'' French Disco-Boogie records, enriched by Jean-Paul Goude's artwork for the cover. The A-side's Nassau mix by François K is a sensual and airy journey, while the B-side's London mix offers a more realistic approach that will please the more classic-listening disco enthusiasts. HUGE TIP!!

Best known as Jazz-N-Groove, they released under a variety of aliases, including Defected Records' first ever single, the UK Top 10 'Can't Get Enough' under their Soulsearcher guise. Now the relationship comes full circle, as they join the ranks of Defected's 'House Masters'.

French artist Marc Nguyen Tan released two renowned albums in the early 2003 and 2006 under the artist name Colder on Trevor Jackson's seminal label Output Recordings. In november 2015, Colder returned after a decade in hiatus with his third, highly acclaimed album Many Colours followed by two other LPs titled The Rain and Goodbye in 2016.
Kasper Bjorke is one of the most acclaimed and versatile producers and DJs hailing from Denmark. Kasper has released five renowned solo albums over the past decade and remixed a wide range of artists, from Rebolledo to Weval.
The two artists first started working together when Kasper remixed Colders single 'Your Kind' - and Colder in return remixed Bjørke´s track 'Marbled Blood'. The idea to take their collaboration even further was formed when the two of them met in person during Sonar Festival in Barcelona in 2015. In 2016 they then teamed up in the RedBull Studio in Paris for a three day improvised recording session.
The result is the Black Magic EP in stores on September 8th via Throne of Blood. A collection of five raw, driving post punk / new wave and techno influenced compositions, recorded via the studio SSL desk in Paris, using hardware synths and drum machines played through some exotic vintage effects. Colder recorded his mesmerizing vocals on the spot along with French drummer Julien Sabourin and saxophone player Thibaut Javoy.
The EP will be followed by a stellar remix package from The Golden Filter (Optimo Music), Mutado Pintado (Paranoid London) and French producer and dj Pilooski.

The latest release on Guy Gerber's successful label RUMORS is a remix EP of The Dying Seconds' song 'Mora Minn'. Guy Gerber himself turns in a dub remix, whilst Acid Mondays and Elie Nissan & Jenia Tarsol's tales feature on the B side.
Guy's remix see the acclaimed DJ and producer turning the starting point into a wholly new and original sounding release. The dub mix puts Guy's outstanding production into the spotlight. Subtle yet intricate, Guy's take on the record pulls together echoing piano chords, a delicate guitar line and emotive, building strings over a gently propulsive bassline. It'll be familiar to those who have frequented Guy's famous RUMORS events series this season, with Guy's road testing of the release prompting many fans to ask what this new, distinctively Gerber-stamped track could be.
Meanwhile, RUMORS label and events mainstays Acid Mondays take the track into deeper and darker territory, with a faster paced beat and sub-bass flourishes offsetting trippy vocal samples.
Two fellow Tel Aviv talents, Eli Nissan and Jenia Tarsol, round off the EP with a rework that matches more of the original's drums, vocals ethereal piano line with amplified percussion and a dancefloor ready bassline.
The EP drops towards middle of a busy season for the label and events series; RUMORS Ibiza has become one of the busiest and most talked about daytime events on the island, with international parties in the likes of LA, Mykonos, Sardinia and, most notably, a London street party selling out within hours. To accommodate his ever-expanding fanbase, Guy will be playing a landmark headline show at London's historic Roundhouse on the day after this release.

Drop Out Orchestra step in 2017 with a juicy 4 tracker party swinging EP.

Yam Who rework in true fine fashion going deep on a hypnotic workout - with all the style of a Late Nite Tuff Guy production. The flipside doesnt dissappoint with the Drop Out's reconstructing the Frankie Knuckles house anthem 'Tears' - tough rhythms, vocoders & again with their trademark infectious live bass, spaced out guitars & dreamy atmosperics. Finally 'Where Is My Man' takes us into cosmic Italo disco land, orchestrated with deep piano chords over a pounding groove a must have for Pete Herbert & Ray Mangs fans out there.

Second album of this dope new boogie affaire - straight out of Melbourne, Australia..

REPRESSED !
Justin Van Der Volgen's My Rules label is back with its second release of 2016: the Lee Douglas edit of Soulful Dynamics - Jungle People.Given the nod and approved by the band, this is the version you've heard and been looking for over the last few years. Now finally seeing a proper release after many requests. Called by Resident Advisor a "Mareh anthem" referring to the New Year's Eve festival in Brazil and rinsed by DJs like Tim Sweeney, Psychemagick, and Eddie C, this record is pure Soul-Disco heat. Douglas takes the original, teases out the arrangement and turns the psychedelic knob to 100.
Simply stated, putting this record on is like pushing the button labeled "PARTY TIME." Vinyl only.
