Jacktone Records is pleased to announce our latest release: a vinyl EP titled Channel from rising house producer, Loren Steele
The EP from San Francisco-based Steele is comprised of four original tracks designed for the dancefloor, plus a sprawling psychedelic remix from Mathematics/100% Silk veteran, Roche. Not only are the tracks varied and ready for skilled DJs to drop at that perfect spot of the night, but, they're also earworms - hooking you with their infectious grooves and melodies. The clean production and energetic structure of the originals, featuring perfectly-placed pads, stabs and filters washing over propulsive basslines and percussion locks in a warm yet hands-in-the-air vibe. The Roche remix of Swimma draws out the groove and adds some of that San Francisco psychedelic fog. The tracks were recorded live in single takes with little post production processing, giving them a kinetic feel that can't be reproduced.


Channel was produced with creative feedback from both Cherushii and Nackt, whom were lost in the Oakland fire. The EP is released in their memory.


Loren Steele is a San Francisco-based producer and multi-instrumentalist. As a bassist, DJ and a solo live PA artist, he has performed at Bay Area institutions, Haceteria, OK Hole, Psychic Friends, Run the Length of your Wildness, Space Gallery, Public Works, and Underground SF. He has releases on Wolf and Lamb Music, Run the Length of your Wildness, BOB recordings, and Microsound.org
Channel is his first vinyl 12".

CD TWO

Late night dweller Todd Modes can be found deejaying around Detroit playing anything from offbeat ambient grooves to spaced out Disco jams.
He released the Todd Modes / Bobby Dolo EP on the cult underground label M1 Sessions, and as Cosmic Handshakes with Dial 81 they put out an EP called 'The Delicate Details'.

Now he teams up with Golf Channel's own wild man Mike Severson from the psychedelic Disco rock outfit Heroes of the Galleon Trade.

After a session one night, the two step out for a cold one and bump into burly biker bar bandit Randy Winter and the singer song writer sex visionary Emily Infinity. After a few drinks they invited them back to the studio and the vocals were set. Put on your jean jacket slip on your leather boots and ready yourself for a night thrill ride.

OKINAWA DELAYS FEAT. SATOKO ISHIMINE - NARIYAMA AYAGU Claremont 56 / Limited-edition 10' single with obi strip
Claremont 56 has always had close links with Japan's vibrant music scene, with founder
Paul 'Mudd' Murphy making annual trips for DJing and live performances. It's perhaps
unsurprising, then, that the label's latest limited-edition vinyl release comes from Japanes
outft Okinawa Delays, a project founded by producer, DJ and long-time friend of the labe
Takeo.
Some of you may already be familiar with Okinawa Delays thanks to 2016's Hana, a cove
of a popular 1995 J-pop hit featuring original vocalist Satoko Ishimine. The singer is a we
known performer in her native Japan, having released a number of acclaimed records on
Toshiba EMI throughout the 1990s.
Ishimine's breathtakingly beautiful vocals come to the fore on 'Nariyma Ayagu', Okinawa
Delays' frst single for Claremont 56. On his spellbinding remix, regular Claremont 56
contributor Phil Mison wraps Ishime's haunting vocals around dreamy, drifting synthesize
and electric piano chords, glistening acoustic guitars, and sparkling, sunrise-friendly
electronics.
Even by the Balearic maestro's usual high standards, Mison's remix is stunning. It's
accompanied by a vocal-free, delay-laden dub for those who want to revel in his poignan
mood-enhancing production.
On the fip, and on Murphy's suggestion, Ishimine re-joins Okinawa Delays for a cover of
Kamiko Kasai's popular 1977 Japanese disco cut 'Vibration'. Breezier, looser and notabl
sunnier than Kasai's version, the Okinawa Delays interpretation moves further towards jaz
funk whilst retaining the original's groovy positivity. With Ishimine providing another stellar
vocal performance, Takeo's assembled band delivers the goods, and then some.
Claremont 56 will release Nariyama Ayagu in April 2017. Only 324 (pressing came in a bi
short!) copies of the 10' single will be available worldwide.
Limited edition 10', numbered to 350 (only 324 pressed)

NYC-based duo Jasmine Golestaneh and Eddie Cooper write songs through a telepathic kinship they've developed since they started making music together. "We have these sort of unspoken criteria when we're writing music. We never really need to explain what that is but we both know when it's missing or when we've hit it.' The pair, AKA Tempers, are set to release their 'Fundamental Fantasy' EP via The Vinyl Factory on 24th February. Creating an emotional and tonal tension of sensual and mechanical impulses, their brand of dark electronica sets haunting song writing to a sinister disco beat, pop melodies floating in an almost industrial soundscape. It follows the band's 2015 debut full-length 'Services.'

''Fundamental Fantasy' is about exploring the creative scenery of romantic illusions. Our need for them, how we justify them to ourselves, that moment when the imagined story line collides with reality. The ways we fictionalize people to fit into the narratives we have about love - to reflect our own beliefs, virtues and flaws. It is about celebrating fantasies swelling and getting undone, so we can pick up the pieces and craft new ones that serve us better' Tempers
Musically, 'Fundamental Fantasy' is an evolution in both song writing and process, while still tracing a clear line to their earlier output. Many of the EP's melodies were born of live improvisation, which helped them create an instinctive, natural immediacy within their electronic arrangements. The cover of the EP depicts the duo on the volcanic island of Stromboli, where they performed at The Volcano Extravaganza, an art and music festival curated by The Vinyl Factory. 'It is a perfect landscape to mirror the mood of 'Fundamental Fantasy.' A seemingly idyllic place that is isolated from the outside world.'

(Additional remix & production A2 by Mark Seven)
Not too long ago a jiffy bag arrived at Parkwest HQ. In it was a scratched TDK case with a SA-X tape containing a musical message from years past, simply marked 'THE TAPE I LOST!'
We sat and listened, able to pinpoint influence and reference but yet hearing something totally new.
That this tape surfaced and made it across the years and the miles to us was fortunate. When the synth part came through clear on a later version on the tape, allowing us to remix then it became destiny.Emotion, melody and rhythm will always be timeless and these tracks, selected from that tape, are as relevant today as they ever were.

Third release on the much sought after Vinyl Only label.

INCL DOWNLOADCODE Over the course of the past ten years, Stil vor Talent has striven to support emerging young artists, to continuously broaden and redefine its sound, and, ultimately, to create lasting memories, both on and off the dance floor. The dance floor is the place where we gather to leave the worries of our everyday lives behind, and, for those few moments, form a bond, which transcends the final track of the night. A bond between each other; between the artist and the dancer; between ourselves and the music. On '10 Years Stil vor Talent' we celebrate this bond and say 'Thank you'.

Kitjen's fifth installment comes in the form of three floor-friendly cuts by Melbourlin's Fantastic Man. This Swiss Army Knife of a 12 gracefully knocks on the doors of Italo and Acid House and is filled with trippy drums that create a perfect pool for you to drown in. This record is a fantastic stocking stuffer and the official dress code for this release is "retired magician". Fresh for 2016, you quokkas!

JLM and Chris Wang started the party Love Dancing in 2009 in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Love Dancing, along with Jesse Proudfoot and Chris Allen's Good Faith, was a formative dance experience for many of us in Vancouver and an essential ingredient in the Mood Hut stew. The music on this disc dates from that period and captures some of the energy of the Love Dancing parties. We hope you enjoy it.

Todd von Terje dives into summer with a new single entitled "Strandbar". This vinyl and digital release is the third on Olsen Records, following the Lindstrøm collab "Lanzarote" and Terje's "It's the Arps" EP.

Beginning in the south, the Bruce Trail hugs the ancient shoreline of Lake Iroquoia as it follows the edge of the Niagara Escarpment. The Path, over its lengthy journey, winds its way through a landscape of natural beauty as it moves up to central Ontario. As the Trail leads further into the depths of the woodland and Ravine, sunlight falls through layers of evergreen branches stamping intricate patterns on the forest floor. Continuing north, the Trail passes an array of plants and wildlife native to the historic forest. Vivid colours saturate the forest canopy, complimented by the sounds of the cascading
waterfall echoing through the Ravine. In the distance a carpet of gently waving fern cover the rolling hills dotted with slow-growing centuries-old coniferous trees that reach towards the sun.
At the home stretch of the escarpment you will be offered stunning views of the Peninsula, with the calm blue water of the western end of Lake Ontario reaching out to the lush greens of the temperate rainforest. This is the journey of the Bruce Trail.

Should we check it out Or just check into a psycho ward Whichever comes first, huh It's a kinda future that leaves you asking yourself, if I am not me, then who the hell am I Am I Prins Thomas What is a Diskomiks You ever fuck a mutant Tall guy, weird clothes. First you see him, then you don't. The best mindfuck ever!

HOT Stuff!!! Vinyl Only,

Mr.intl have unearthed a lost gem. 'Cortina Kidz' is an utterly overlooked part of the tapestry of late 80's British acid house history. Recorded in a cold water flat on Stoke Newington Road in 1987 and then released as a B-side in 1988, its eccentric spoken word overlay and weird lead vocal made it very unlike the prevailing dance music sound of the time. This is a unique recording whose time has come.'Cortina Kidz' was produced by a young Tim Brinkhurst ahead of his imminent record deal with Virgin Records with his band Soho, and long before his current role as manager of Mercury Prize winners, Young Fathers. The A-side 'Jack Me Some Crack' was a minor dance moment in 1988, but 'Cortina Kidz' on the flip remained undiscovered.
That was until mr.Intl, Andy Butler's record label, made a chance discovery in 2015. It was a track so good that they pledged to resurrect it. Tim was duly tracked down ('you are only the second person in my life to ask me about this record') and interpretations from Factory Floor and NYC cohorts Juan Maclean & Tim Sweeney are to finally give this track the exposure it deserves.
Tim Brinkhurst explains, 'We released a double A side 7' single with two specially written, 'throw-away' tracks, a few weeks before the Virgin deal. One of these was 'Cortina Kidz', recorded on a 4 track Portastudio and sung with passion by our friend Simon Waller utilising the unique and glorious tones of a Roland MT-32 sound module, it was a little electro-mod/psycho-drama. The single was meant to be released then disappear, it quickly sold out and that was that, for 28 years, until I was contacted from out of the blue by these mad fuckers who wanted to re-release Cortina Kidz! Hearing it again brought back memories of a London, a Dalston, that was choking with petrol fumes and in the middle of a crack epidemic that made the streets, never the easiest walk, even edgier. The fact that the energy for this remarkable release is now coming from New York seems very appropriate, though. Both cities are rapidly transforming and a triple-post-modern release like this is an echo of the transformation. The old and ancient are re-made/re-modelled, sampled and packaged. It's no longer ironic to be ironic. There is passion in authenticity but authenticity is on the market. If the original Cortina Kidz was a retro-futurist vision of now, the new versions manage to upset the vision and turn it on its head. This single that was never meant to be.'

Debut EP for producer Romain Poncet (aka Traumer) as Marion Poncet. This release was made to be a wonderful journey in the land of Hippos.

Mile End Records is pleased to present their latest release, "Slide," which is a collaboration between two undisputed legends of house music: Roy Davis Jr. and Robert Owens.

The song marks the first single off Roy's upcoming full length album for Mile End Records - Destroy and Rebuild - due worldwide later this year. Roy Davis Jr. is known globally for his anthemic catalog of soulful, Chicago-style house with R&B influences. Robert Owens' voice is recognizable on countless house music classics including the seminal "I'll Be Your Friend." Needless to say this meeting of the minds makes perfect sense.

While "Slide" seems predestined to move dance floors, the excitement is in how it accomplishes its magic. A slight acid bass line shimmies away layered in with deep, shifting pads and a short, reverberating stab that creates an upswing in the groove.

Robert Owens sings in the way that only he can, with a slight echo effect leaving lingering trails and creating continuity between multiple vocal parts. Introduced by the onset of piano keys towards the end of the song, the heated singing turns to cool talking.

What would this release be without more heavy hitters on remix duties A fellow Chicagoan with a lengthy history dating back to the '80s, DJ Skull really gives the track an authentic rawness exemplified by that classic era. While based in the UK, Luke Solomon (Classic Music Company) at some point was certainly bit by the Chicago bug, evidenced by his longtime label collaboration with the Windy City's Derrick Carter. Luke really works out the drums in his remix and adds off-kilter bleeps with string like filtered acid sounds.

Moving on to one of Canada's top talents, Andy Roberts (Mixed Signals Music) also reinvents the track's drums, but chooses organs, chimes, and a more hardy bass over the others' 303 sounds. Berkshire's James Blakstar John is up next and holds his own with active, filtered key sounds taking the forefront along with some playful vocal rearrangement.

Roy Davis Jr. and Robert Owens have attracted an all-star cast on Mile End Records that would make it hard for anyone to just let this package slide.

An Italian-Spanish connection is always a good thing. The sort of sensual and Mediterranean emotions that Carlo and Black Loops can deliver, is a skill that has been taken far on this new EP. The dichotomy can prove difficult to square sometimes, particularly when the guys have different paths in their sound. But the mix is rich here. The Intermission EP is a packed full of soul samples, warm pads, and great solid beats wrapped up as a soulful declaration. Their massive love for music really shines through in this EP.

The Disco Fever takeover has prevailed in this special release from one of dance music's most influential figures

DJ Dez aka Andrés returns to Japan's Root Down records for his second 7" on the label. For those that only know Dez from his Andrés releases- you are missing a whole other side of what this guy can do. Dez has been scratching, cutting, and chopping beats for the better part of 20 years as a DJ for Slum Village, a member of Detroit's 12 Tech Mob DJ crew, not to mention countless amounts of productions, mixes and beats for other artists. Here on this 7" - we have two rare examples of Dez's inimitable style - raw, funky and timeless!

Following on the success of their first collaboration, edit king Danny Krivit and Most Excellent Unlimited return with another eminently
useful two-sider. Krivit's reputation hardly needs to be detailed--anyone who has the slightest interest in dance music and DJ
culture will undoubtedly have a quiver of his renowned edits ready to be deployed on discerning dance floors.

'Corazon" was written by the singer/songwriter par excellence Carole King, and first appeared as a single in 1973. The song's soulful latin
flavor immediately caught the ear of the emerging disco movement, spawning cover versions that intensified the percussive groove and
thickened the bottom end. Danny's masterpiece edit seamlessly weaves King's original version with the most notable of these covers,
Creative Source's 1975 take. The jazzy, heavy vibes break has long been an automatic floor-filler in New York City, from the Bronx parks
where it was an early b-boy staple to the downtown Loft scene. This edit is truly the best of both worlds.

'Deep Sky" is of more cloudy origins, a modern counterpoint to the classic on the flip side. The loping groove, accented with strings,
percussion and a nod to the iconic trance birdcall sound effect, builds majestically, its epic 10-and-a-half minutes passing
effortlessly. The mid-tempo pace exudes a quiet energy that makes it an easy fit for a wide variety of rooms.

Both tracks have been mastered from Danny's personal collection and pressed onto high-quality virgin vinyl in extremely limited
quantities.

All the djs and producers around have one secret weapon to play at least. This series is the Equation who join together very special edits from very special artists. It will be out in three volumes in different colours.

Street Meat follows the sold-out In Flagranti Edits w/ club-worthy re-edits of some Chrissy faves, from classic US garage to obscure Quebecois disco & synthy Euro-heaters. He's been road testing in rooms like Panorama Bar & Smartbar, to great response.
