House Vinyl New Releases - News

17 Paul Weller - Long Long Road

New extended play from Frederick on his dwelling label Fifty Fathoms Deep, with the idea of bringing together remixes, collaborations and previously unreleased bonus tracks from Fifty Fathoms Deep and Roar Groove. As well as new works from Frederick on this full circle release, The Revenge and Craig Smith feature both individually and collectively as the 6th Borough Project.

Gatefold 2x180gr heavy weight vinyl. It's warm and widescreen music for the days when you need musical sunshine. Or as original Café Del Mar's José Padilla, has it: 'This is what I call Balearic.'

The Moscow duo is back with the followup to well supported GLENVIEW debut 12". "APES IN THE ORANGE GROOVE" has super funky piano chords, analog drum machine beats and on the original mix add'l samples from KITO JEMPERE on the B-side SECRET CIRCUIT do an acid tinged Balearic remix.

The Round up part III is here: Our annual cocktail of "Heisty" re-imaginations. With our busiest release schedule so far, we've moved up from a 12" and 10" pack to a double 12" pack, with 7 artists re-rubbing each other's originals in their most personal way imaginable. Nachtbraker turns Nebraska's sweet and moody 'It won't be long' into a raw as hell acid stomper. Ouer and Adesse Versions, deliver a great jackin' take on both their victims and Nebraska adds some disco flavour to Frits Wentink's free handing piano work. Frits on his turn gets going with the SP404 to add some dusty vibes to our own Future Imperfect while we've turned Obas Nenor's down-tempo excursion with 'Wakee' into an up-tempo Chicago-esque affair, bringing in our Crumar Performer for some lively work on the strings. Obas on his turn, gets his MPC fired up and delivers a great Midwest inspired version of Push it Along. We've had a truly great year with Heist and have released so much to be proud of, and this Round Up is a great conclusion to it. A nd as always, special artwork courtesy of Baster. Sincerely yours, Lars & Maarten

Dave Allison back on his home label of Kinjo with 3 sweet down-tempo jazzy jams to warm up winter and a disco funk number on the flip which gets a remix from the ever so hot Junktion!
Pressed on Limited Green 12 Inch Vinyl.

After a killer 12 inches from Mori Ra, Jongno Edits is back with two tunes, blurring the lines between editing and sampling.
The A-Side, 42 Below, is an uplifting Korean Fusion Boogie with slap bass, tropical synths, summery guitar and female vocals. Given a serious dub work out by Monsieur Jongno. Effortlessly working the bassline and guitar with added muscle, subtle dub FX's, drum fills, teasing the vocal and synths before unleashing the chorus and guitar solos. Nice Brazilian vibes on this one, like a Lincoln Olivetti production, Seoul went Rio.On the flip side, Drums and a Bass is an obscure LP cut from a Korean Percussion Ensemble with Traditional Korean folk elements, tribal drums and chanting, spikey avant garde guitar plucks, rolling punk funk bassline that builds the energy levels with Jazz style vocals and horns. Sounding very Liquid Liquid, a bit Can, a bit Pig Bag, with some Korean craziness. Expertly extended and re-arranged by the Jongno edits main man to give it more of a dancefloor edge, and ramping up the psychedelics. Powerful stuff.

For its fourth release, Jongno Edits got two tracks of pure korean grooves by editing wizard Mori Ra.
Two sides, two atmospheres: Side A is a boogie banger that embraces all the elements of the top tunes of that era: strong drum beat, slappy bass synth and violins break downs...
Reinforced by killer funky guitars and congas that hold the groove tight! Side B is your perfect sunset Balearic cut for this summer. The dreamlike bells match perfectly the suave voices to prepare your ascend to the clouds of delayed organs and acoustic guitar where Jeju becomes Ibiza...

Don't be fooled by Spellacey's lower profle: amongst those who know, the Melbourne-based New Zealander is widely regarded as a seriously dusty fngered digger, capable of unearthing and championing ridiculously good records from all four corners of the globe. He sells some of these exceptional fnds through his Crown Ruler online store, though there are many more that he keeps hidden from the public.From synth-laden Zambian reggae and sumptuous orchestral Afro-soul, to humid Trinidadian boogie and horizontal Italian jazz-funk, Spellacey offers a whirlwind trip through the most kaleidoscopic and exotic parts of his epic collection.
As you'd expect from a man who has traveled the world hunting down records, the majority of the 15 tracks will be unknown to all but a handful of similarly minded crate diggers. In fact, some are so obscure that you'll struggle to fnd any mention of them at all online. This could be your only chance to own the boogie-era reggae-disco brilliance of Le Banda De Martin's Mi Dueno' and the tear-jerking Afro-soul shuffe of Kosmik 3's I'm Gonna Pack' (here featured in exclusive Jeremy Spellacey re-edit form).
Spacetalk Records' frst compilation, Beauty, offered listeners the chance to take a trip through the record collection of noted Parisian crate-digger and DJ Jeremy Underground. It was a runaway success, so the label has decided to repeat the
exercise. This time, though, they've turned to a lesser-known hunter of rare and obscure records, namely Crown Ruler Records co-founder Jeremy Spellacey.
Spellacey has previously shied away from sharing the secrets of his extensive record collection. Crown Ruler Sound, then, is a rare treat: a gloriously colourful, sun-baked compilation of tropical treats from Africa, the Caribbean and beyond, hand-picked by the man who helped license this year's most essential reissue, the South African boogie brilliance that is Focus's Zulu.

Highlights come thick and fast, from the frst note to the last. Check, for example, the wild P-funk of Acayouman's Funk Around', the dancing marimbas and undulating grooves of Feladey's Forest Music' and the impeccable South African jazz-funk of Stimela's sought-after 1983 debut single, I Love You'.
Other notable highlights include Ezy & Isaac's spellbinding 1977 cut Let Your Body Move (Oba Balu Balu)', seemingly the missing link between Rotary Connection, Fela Kuta and soundscape disco, Devon Russell's inspired reggae-soul cover of Curtis Mayfeld's Move on Up', and Mike Fabulous' Wang East', a
sublime chunk of summery electro-reggae from Spellacey's native New Zealand.

We could go on, but we don't want to spoil all the surprises. Suffce to say, Crown Ruler Sound will surprise and entertain you in equal measure.

Most famous for his Remix of Stevie Wonder "Signed Sealed Delivered", Smash Hunter aka 'DJ Smash' was released on the Mowtown Remixed project, alongside such heavyweight bedfellows as DJ Spinna, Jazzy Jeff and King Britt. Smash was also prolific compiler, producer and label boss for the acclaimed Fat Jazzy Grooves series on New Breed Jazz.

Toy Tonics' MUSHROOM HOUSE series brings together different shades of afro-weirdo-psychedelic vibes in dance music. All tracks have been made exclusively for Toy Tonics. The musical range is wide: The third EP goes from Arabic guitars to Nubian chants and looots of percussions. The bass drum is four-on-the-floor, but switches from midtempo (Kiwi: We are here) to classic New York LoFi -Disco grooves (Ponty Mython). The other 2 tracks on the EP feature an emptier vibe: Less toms - more Drum machines. More Techno. Red Axes deliever probably one of their weirdest works. Their Munk rework is pure craziness. The melodies come from another space. The last track on the EP is made by old Toy Tonics friends from Milano: The Barking Dogs. They teamed up with Tom Trago in the basement studio of the great record store they run in Milan: Serendeepity Records. They are known for selling obscure, but classy music for dance floors and that's what they do when the make music on their own. Like on "Your High": An obscure groove meets a sloppy bassline and stoned vocals.

XOA is an exciting new project fusing sounds from the golden era of 70s Afrobeat with contemporary electronica and modern production.The debut release AIYE LE, features the vocals of former Fela Kuti musical director and afrobeat royalty Dele Sosimi. Label boss Dan Shake steps up for the remix on the B side, bringing his signature Detroit house aesthetic.

Sourcing material both familiar and obscure, this release is an education on how to craft the perfect extended DJ version. Limited vinyl release!

If you read interviews with Stuart Leath, you'll probably be aware of the amount of work he was put into tracking down Trinidadian husband-and-wife team Carl and Carol Jacobs. Some 24 months later, the fruits of his efforts have materialized in this superb reissue of their obscure (and ludicrously hard to find) 1986 electro-calypso gem "Robot Jam". It's one of those records that shouldn't work - it's effectively a fusion of replayed and re-sung bits from records by Santana, Rock Master Scott and Rappin' Duke - but still sounds brilliantly futuristic nearly 30 years after its' initial release. The two-part original is joined on the flip by a brilliantly fitting, echo-laden "re-rub" from Nick The Record and Dan Tyler, better known as one half of the Idjut Boys.

Louie Vega's latest album, Louie Vega Starring... is a dualdisc conceptual record featuring over twenty-five artists on twenty-eight different songs. The record is Louie Vega's first solo album ever and a contender for his magnum opus. Vega is in esteemed company, with a seasoned group of collaborators imparting their magic for this special project including; Funkadelic & George Clinton; The 3 Winans Brothers and The Clark Sisters; Jocelyn Brown; Nick Monaco & Soul Clap; N'Dea Davenport; Lisa Fischer; Cindy Mizelle; Anane Vega; Monique Bingham; Caron Wheeler (Soul II Soul); Josh Milan; Bucie; Tony Momrelle; Kaylow; Vikter Duplaix; Cassio Ware; Adeva, Covertion & Leroy Burgess; Kenny Bobienl; Zara McFarlane; Luis Salinas; Roberto Roena; Diviniti; and Byron Stingily.

By bringing together the diverse genres of house, funk, latin soul and gospel, Louie Vega has created a record filled with positive vibes. Like a fine bottle of wine, the album's ingredients and their interactions with each other come to the light upon pressing play. Listeners can expect notes of Afro & Latin and pure house infused with funk, gospel, Caribbean, jazz, r&b, soul. All the ingredients for a truly global party.

Each song is uniquely crafted to represent a different emotion, energy or experience. Their melange with Louie Vega's timeless music production is the album's true treat, 'Today's listener wants to feel good and that's exactly what our songs and tracks do. We celebrate the gift of love, art and music,' adds Vega. Followers of his illustrious career will find the album unveils a completely new side of the legendary artist; that of a sound chemist. Louie explains, 'My inspirations came from various visits around the world and experiences in life. As far as the album's sounds, I revisited lots of R&B, soul, gospel, nu jazz, even some disco, all within the backdrop of house music, took it back to the artist and song tailoring' .

Describing his artistic process, 'The album came together naturally, it was a growing process. It was like planting a tree, each branch represented an artist, a sound, a groove. The entire process happened within a few years. It started with a few songs and then this past year, I was in a creative state and the music happened back to back. As I travelled and toured, I met artists on the road and would record with them a few weeks later. The experience with the artists on the album was magical; they are all so talented and very unique and have their own special quality.'

The delivered sampling of featured artists on Louie Vega Starring... is one for the record books and a must for any music aficionado as Louie explains, 'This body of work is a masterpiece that will be party of my legacy. I see it up there on the same high shelf with albums like Nuyorican Soul, Elements of Life, and Masters at Work.'

REPRESS ALERT: After the series of Caribbean related releases, Emotional Rescue returns to the early 80's Downtown NYC post punk / new wave scene with Plus Instruments - collecting their best and rarest songs on one groove laden EP. 4 tracks of pure Downtown punk-dub-funk, all with the nonchalant Euro-style delivery of Truus de Groot. It doesn't get better than this. Coming with extended unreleased versions, the originals were collected from sought after EPs, an obscure compilation LP and fiishes with a never before released song - this is history. Licensed and remastered for aural pleasure.

Powerdance is a collective of like minded dance music nthusiasts that joined forces as a sonic dance floor experiment. Created by like minded souls, it was formed as a reaction relentless cookie cutter noise that has been dividing the dance floor. A return to the days of love and dancing. A return to months of musician ship and studio work , nurturing and moulding an experience that brought a smile back to the church that is disco. These musicians will remain nameless for now, as power Dance dictates the direction and the beginning of a wonderful journey. One for lovers of modern disco that draws on the past from the Wag Club to Studio 54 - from Koala Bears to Will powers and looking forward.

The man known as DJ Nature holds a long and illustrious list of releases that spans all the way back to the early 90s, when, as Nature Boy, the Bristol born DJ and producer was carving out sample heavy house music for labels like Ruff Disco Records and the Underworld affiliated Tomato label.
His relatively modern re-incarnation, as DJ Nature, has seen singles and two albums come correct on revered labels like Golf Channel Recordings and Jazzy Sport.
Following on from Futureboogie's landmark 50th release, DJ Nature drops a heavyweight four track EP on the Bristol label, each track promising and delivering Summertime vibes in abundance.
'Born Lifted', with its deft guitar licks and soulful vocal chops over lazy, hazy beats, is a great example of the Nature aesthetics that make his tracks so very popular across the house fraternity. 'My Life' picks up the pace, deploying granite hard snares and cosmic chords with dusted vocal samples.
On the flip, 'What It Isn't' packs some jazz chops with its sampled pianos and saxophone riffs over a discordant beat that swings with the best of them, whilst EP closer 'Loving U More' again serves up some delicious summertime grooves with the perfect marriage of deep, funky bass and seductive samples.

Originally released on the V.A. Quintessentials 50 and making rather big waves, 'Grooff Machine' from Ponty Mython gets the remix treatment for some more dope grooffs! Chicago hotshot Chrissy (The nite owl diner, Classic, Razor n' Tape) puts enough Disco and Acid in it and offers a great clubby alltime classic. Ponty himself fuses lost of House, Disco, Funk and 808 busines so that you can grooff to the max. And our mexican buddy Soul of Hex (Vicario Ltd, Freerange) keeps it dark and loopy before adding some splendid riffs. Time for the Grooff Machine!

London-based DJ HAAi has released her latest single, 'Be Good' on her own label, Coconut Beats. Best known for her Saturday night residency at London club Phonox, HAAi has gained widespread recognition thanks to her vibrant sets and eclectic mixes.
'Be Good' echoes HAAi's former work as lead singer and guitarist of Australian psych-rock band The Dark Bells; the new song features all her own vocals, making the track an entirely organic and self-produced HAAi release.
HAAi's wistful vocals are contrasted against driving drums, rattling percussion and dark synth chords for a stirring yet understated anthem that reflects HAAi's tastes for the ' bassy, textured and percussive'. An accomplished production, this is still only HAAi's second release under her electronic moniker following on from her 2 track 'DaDaDa' EP.
The release comes in the midst of HAAi's busiest summer yet as a DJ. It comes shortly after her much-anticipated headline back to back set at Sunfall Festival with The Black Madonna, an appearance at Pikes Ibiza alongside Midland and ahead of her gig at the tastemaking Oasis Festival in Morocco. This is all on top of her residency at Phonox, where she has become not only a resident but a curator of her own forward-thinking Coconut Beats nights, where friends including Daniel Avery, Chaos in the CBD, Moscoman and Auntie Flo have joined her at the decks. 'I just want to keep people excited and dancing,' she says. It's a simple and honest mission, but one that HAAi completes effortlessly each and every time.

2 classics on one 12" single, gems excavated from the deepest realms of the TK Disco vaults. Remastered, represented and brought back into focus for 2017's DJ bags and dance-floors! On side A we have former Foxy frontman Ishmael 'Ish' Ledesma with his sublime esoteric Disco cut from 1979 called 'Don't stop', a deep, late night diamond of a track that will appeal to the more left-field Disco lovers out there. 'Don't stop' has long been a favourite with the diggers with it's sweet vocals, synth heavy production and overall cosmic vibe. A beauty of a track indeed and one of TK's lesser known cuts. Side B sees fusion guitarist John Tropea's 1979 cosmic classic 'Living in the jungle', a long time spin of DJ's like Daniele Baldelli and DJ Harvey. Infusing Tropea's rock sensibilities with the throb of the Disco dance-floor the track is a low slung, midtempo groover that touches all the right spots. Overall, this essential double-header is a must have for all Disco heads and left-field DJ fiends.
As usual, these TK represses are always done in the proper manner. 100% legit re-edits, from the archive, remastered and released in conjunction with Henry Stone Music / TK Disco - Miami FL.

Oraculo records looks to the past in very few occasions and monomen deserves to be one of the exceptions. the norvegian band momonen released back in 2007 one of the best electronic post-punk albums of the beginning of xxi centurty on trust me records, not only for the music quality but because all the band members had only 19 years old at the time. suddenly the band gets dissolved after only 1 ep and 1 album. now, 10 years later, oraculo records proudly recovers the best tracks of their album (+1 one of the previous ep) on a record that will be very searched and valued. all tracks mastered and remastered specially for vinyl by eric van wonterghem at prodam studio (berlin).

Becoming something of a label mainstay, CAIN returns to HIGHLIFE!
His fourth release 'Sirin' is a big yin! It's been a secret weapon round these parts for a while now and we're finally pleased to be sharing it with you alongside the kicking 'Kaldi' and 'Tumbi', which serves as a summer sweetener.
With early support from the likes of Ben UFO, Jackmaster and Damian Lazarus (who recently opened his Sonar set with Tumbi) we anticipate it being a BIG release throughout the festival season.

We've waited really too long to release this ep. These tracks were given to Musique Risquée more than 10 years ago and waited since then on harddrive before they got rediscovered on a boozy night in Tokyo. They have not aged a bit, fresh as when they were given to us. Maybe we weren't ready then. But we are now and hopefully you are too.

After a busy eighteen months promoting his debut album, Essex-hailer Max Chapman brings us his La Fiesta EP on Hot Creations. The title track features alongside remixes by the versatile Luca Cazal and house veteran Todd Terry.

With Latin vibes from the outset, Max has encompassed the essence of The White Isle. La Fiesta is a migration of percussion, chanting and melodic vocals and flirtatious basslines. Luca Cazal has turned up the kick and brings an old school vibe with his remix. Todd Terry's energetic arrangement of snares and bongos compliments the provencal vocal perfectly.

Since his arrival on the scene six years ago, Max Chapman has released on an abundance of labels including VIVa, Toolroom and last years Body Jack on Elrow, that achieved number one status across all genres on Beatport. Established in 2012, his imprint Resonance Records provides a platform for the freshest talent in underground tech-house. Max's album Catch Me If You Can, released last year, received a notable 9/10 in both Mixmag and DJ Mag.

Luca Cazal has been steadily rising up the ranks since his debut release on Crosstown Rebels in 2013. Constantly refining his production skills, Luca transmits positive emotions with every track he releases. After three decades on the scene, Grammy-nominated Legend Todd Terry has continued to release superior productions and entertain crowds worldwide.

The multi-talented Osaka based DJ, Blogger, & Re-Editor Mori Ra (Magic Wand, Rotating Souls Records, Forest Jams Records) once again teams up with his former production partner ASN after their fantastic release on Macadam Mambo.
Two stunning tracks from the pair and 2 more wonders from Mori himself make this an unmissable EP. A Passport to Paradise is just what this EP is, an ice and a slice of funk, disco, balearica, and rare grooves for this summer's floors.

Limited-edition vinyl sampler of a new digital compilation due to drop at the end of September on Music For Dreams.
'Music For Dreams - The Sunset Sessions #2' is a 50-track album compiled by esteemed Balearic, ambient and techno DJ/producer Kenneth Bager (aka Dr Baker), also head of the Music For Dreams imprint, plus promoter of Coma Club and Apple Flower Festival in Denmark. Kenneth has used his wealth of experience and knowledge to pull together an top eclectic selection of revered names such as Dusty Springfield, Roisin Murphy, Javier Bergia, Hollie Cook, Todd Terje, Nils Frahm, Faze Action and Jan Akkerman alongside recent Balearic favourites such as Mop Mop, Baby Alpaca and Habibeats.
This vinyl sampler features a sneak preview of what we can expect from the compilation with a choice of quality Balearic gems including brand new unreleased track by Lucci Capri 'Kilimanjaro' full of jazzy/African Balearic vibes, plus Mop Mop's chilled steel drum heaven and the Turbotito remix of Baby Alpaca bringing back memories of the Boys Own era. From Naples in Italy comes the smooth and beautiful Solo Un Delay produced and sung by Tuccinelli, then we have the poppier Emil Germ sounding almost like a cross between Royksopp and Arthur Russell. Finally The Kenneth Bager Experience delivers a dubby, melodic electronic excursion with live drums with a distinctly tropical feel.
