House Vinyl New Releases - News

Jacques Renault has traveled the world round many times (we're betting he's clocked a few hundred thousand miles); played the biggest clubs and smallest rave caves alike; worked with and for bigwigs, hotshots, up-and-comers, local friends, and foreign pals met through couch-surfs, house parties, and crate-digs; released original and remix material on a litany of labels that, as a whole, reads as a who's who of 21st century dance music culture; been half of a renowned production duo (Runaway); and helmed a handful of labels, Let's Play House included, since his humble beginnings, as a rookie DJ in his Chicago dorm, circa 1997. While his professional careeror what comes closest to what one would call a professional careerdidn't kick off until the release of Rvng of the Nrds, Vol. 6, on Rvng Inlt., in 2008, and the NYC residences he presided over during the years before that, he's been either on the periphery or at the epicenter of this crazy world of house jams and disco edits and techno bangers for one hell of a long time.

And so it's a little tough for us to do our usual thing and break this releasehis debut long-playerdown, track by track. We've been waiting for it for so many moons that now, in light of its completion and eminent release, we're at a loss for words. We can tell you that it includes 11 tracks, many of which feature guests, all of whom are pals from around the corner or around the globe. We can tell you it comes packaged in a deluxe gatefold sleeve that was designed by our creative director and head graphic designer since day one, Drew Heffron. We can tell you it is the product of hundreds of hours of tinkering and noodling and obsessing. Really, though, that's about all we have.

We hope you enjoy this beast of an album, an album that's not only significance for the wait we had to endure for it to land on our doorsteps, but for the sheer talent and craft that went into its creation. It's a condensed and compacted timeline of the man's musical journey through life, and we just think it's the bee's knees.

Thanks for making it possible.

Now LET'S PLAY HOUSE!

PIPPED is a brand new label from Appleblim set up to explore new avenues and directions & get some exciting sounds out there quicker. Coming on special one-sided handstamped vinyl, we are very proud to present the first release, a stonking rework of Komon & Appleblim's 'Silencio' by none other than Prins Thomas.
Ever since hearing his amazing work with Lindstrom and the killer remixes of Hatchback, Studio, LCD Soundsytem & Toby Tobias, to name but a a few, it has been a dream to hook something up with him - so here it is, get your heads down and boogie....

Cantomas classic chillout album ' out of town ' gets a re-release on Highwood recordings

The fourth studio album - In The Beginning' by the critically acclaimed live band MARBERT ROCEL from Leipzig. A place far away from everything, yet right around the corner. A vision close enough to touch, yet so far away. Surrounded by keys, hatches, pots and small fragmented parts, Marbert Rocel lie down, discuss and dance through the winter of 2015. In this environment, in their studio in Leipzig, the band ties together the songs, which first saw the light of day in a small spot enclosed by woods in the summer of 2014. Each decision goes through every head, each chord is listened to a hundred times, from font to back and in reverse, each compromise: a triumph for the common cause. Not pompoous string arrangements fuel this album with grandeur, but rather the notion of a consensual nod, which has evolved within Marbert Rocel over the years. 'In the Beginning' is the fourth album by Marbert Rocel, a living utopia and a tart kiss for every purist genre lover. Nothing is hewn raw on here, rather sculptured delicately. Percussion is tickling from synth pads like dew, and the songs welcome you like good friends. Like Tinkerbell, Spunks voice guides through this strange familiar world, moving past big feelings and small gestures, to finally lead to where it all started: 'In The Beginning'.

The Homesick team have broken into Marquis Hawkes secret vault and dug up four great edits that have had great responses from his public during the past few months. Now available on a solid 180g records meticulously mastered to sound as awesome and modern as they were when they first got released.

New Jackson gets his second EP for PV in (crystal) motion with the bustling Balearica of 'Having A Coke With You' - a euphoric, 11-minute, string-y sprawl which will not go wasted on you. The Dublin producer reverts to vocoder type with the precise electro-funk of 'OK Alone OK', before closing proceedings with 'Player Piano' - five minutes of pleasingly tight boogie stomp. Cover and inner artwork by Practice & Theory.

The people behind the amazing Mareh festival in Brasil (the Southern Hemisphere's answer to Electric Elephant), drop yet more top drawer music as their label journey continues to gain strength. Set in the lush settings of Bahia where day blends into night and sun into moon, Mareh continues to attract some first class artists from around the world to release on their imprint.

The second release kicks off with Glasgow based production wizard The Revenge letting loose a late night groove that takes a blissful string sample and then works it for the dance floor. It's top stuff from the man with the roaring grooves. And rumours have it that The Revenge himself will be headlining at this year's legendary NYE event in Bahia alongside Tim Sweeney, Pete Herbert & Dicky Trisco.

Next up is Berlin based disco and house aficionado Eddie C who drops an uber cool, cut up disco chugger that is likely to work your sunset and early morning sets to the max.

Mareh favourite Pete Herbert then steps up to the controls and delivers an upbeat, Balearic dance floor banger that hits all the right notes and then hits them again. You can almost smell the hierbas on this one!

Last but not least, Tokyo based Englishman Max Essa delivers an electronic ode to late night dancing and early morning dips as he joins the dots between the Tokyo Underground and the fresh Bahian surf. Wonderful stuff.

So Mareh really are out to pull in a truly global sound to their label outing with Glasgow, Berlin, London, Ibiza and Tokyo all represented as well as their spiritual homelands Sao Paulo, and of course the place where it all happens each New Year...Bahia.

Ministry of Sound proudly returns with the release of their iconic landmark series: The Annual 2016. This much loved and heavily collected addition to the Annual family, reflects the very best that the year has to offer, as well as having an eye firmly pointing forward. As a highly cherished brand with an equally loyal and growing listenership, this 3CD all-in package will course into the hands of elated buyers November 6th, and build on the achievements of past successes with a tracklist that boasts chart toppers and dancefloor anthems alike.

Not forgetting this summer's number one chart sensation, Easy Love by Sigala. The Annual 2016 fronts a tracklist as strong as it's following - all led by KDA's Rumble featuring Tinie Tempah and Katy B. This is 2015's product for everyone: from festival-lovers, houseparty-goers to club-life diehards. This year's biggest sound is there for the taking - but it's Ministry of Sound that does it best, with The Annual 2016.

CANAL LIFE is the Debut Release of London Based Mebourne Duo GOLDIE THORN. CANAL LIFE is a Bouncy Filtered Disco Pop venture influnced by the sounds of the East London Water Ways. EMU/AKAI hardware sampler librarys are guided by sweet vocals, bargain digital synths and melodic picked bass. This is also the Debut release of there very own DREAMTIME RECORDS, Dream Analysis Music.A Limited run of 200. Enjoy, Canal Life!

Getwet comes back with the second release, after a very well received first 12" who got played in some of the most forward thinking dancefloors in EU, Japan and USA.

The opener is a majestic track from The Caribbean House, side project of Billy Bogus teamed up with Federico Bologna, from seminal Technogod and Ohmega Tribe project, and Cristiano Santini, from legendary italian act Disciplinatha. What came out is an outstanding blend of new wave & slow motion disco, strictly for midnight vultures.

Fake Congas is a spin off project by Robotalco (Sebastiano Urciuoli) and Mouth (Luca Fontaneto), bringing all their childhood memories to life again with some analog machines and an internet connection. Lots of references to old house, soft pads breezy synths and a very distinctive touch from two of the most underrated names in the italian panorama for what might be the new sound in a stale scene. Jot their name down now before it is too late.

Two Thousand is the stage name of italian born-berlin based artist Luca Murgia, already known to some for some dope releases and tracks in the past. Here he shows a very interesting concept that gels perfectly with the music, for what we might call a very sophisticated rendition of the new house music of the years to come. Modern crispy production skills serve a very growing and mid paced music that can be equally satisfying in a club or in your headphones.

Mouth is Luca Fontaneto, very reserved producer with some releases on cult labels like Mad On The Moon and Backyard Recs. He keeps doing what he always did. Weird, Out of tune with the industry House music that is going to be understood posthumous, as all geniuses.

This track is a mix of his major influences that is to say, house, boogie and d.i.y. recording techniques.

As the saying goes, we didn't change the winning team, and all songs have been sent up north in Amsterdam for a make up mastering session at Nachtlab by Professor Maspaventi.

The COUGH & DROP EP is a various artists reworks EP with a Ronnie Turner and Edgar moon collab on the ace Robertas Slack single and then Ronnie digs out two killer cuts, the first being Chucks Back reworking Chuck Brown and the soul searchers Borrero e sombero and the second is the very rare Ashphalt jungle track Freaky Time which has been tweaked up a bit strictly for groovers.

We are sure this EP will be doing some serious dance floor damage in the months to come...

Vinyl Only Release...

Welcome to the debut voyage on GoodShip records !

Online sensation and secret weapon in the hands of a select few, this debut from MermaidS is a dancefloor sureshot that's seeing the light of day at long last

Surfacing at the end of 2011 into a pool of crystal clarity, MermaidS combine elements of the past and future to create a present that is at once sky high, another ocean deep.

Releasing on Young Adults, Glasgow Underground, Foto, Editorial, Non Local, FlipSide and Philanthrobeats, and with an upcoming EP for Amsterdam's Subjekt as well as a remix on Sweden's OH! Records, their sound has found it's way across the world.

Now, in 2015, the timing is right to launch GoodShip Records.
An outlet to explore the sounds that inspire, to update and transform, to express truly where they're at and what course they wish to set sail...
And with Jackmaster previewing the lead track on his recent Mastermix to much acclaim, it would seem the wind is blowing in the right direction !

Pablo and Shoey return just in time for festival season with 4 new bits for the front of your box.
'E-Man Groove' is a massive disco-rock jam that could have been sprung from the minds of dem Idjut Boys, with Sympathy For The Devil style percussion and wild guitar riffing driving the whole thing.
'Blazing Sunshine', meanwhile, is a funky, hammond organ led version of 'Let The Sunshine In', a guaranteed hands in the air moment when dropped at the right time.

'Disco Treat' is more of a modern floor-burner, closer to straight production edit with a bouncing bassline and all manner of whacked out disco sounds in the mix, not to mention breakdowns for days.
Rounding off the package is some classic funky soul breaks - the lads tear a chunk off Bettye Lavette's 'Soul Tambourine' to make 'Play It, Break It On Down!', as sampled on Stezo's golden era hip hop rocker 'To The Max'.

Savvy watchers of the Throne (of Blood) first got acquainted with Split Secs (the Los Angeles based duo of Alexandre Mouracade of SONNS fame and West Coast house and disco stalwart TK Disco) back in December of last year, when they brilliantly remixed Waze & Odyssey's "Our World." Or perhaps it was their incredible work for labels like Pacific Wizard Foundation, Jolly Jams, or their own Machine Limited. With The Joint EP, they officially join the TOB family, and what an entrance!

The two originals "The Joint" and "Funkin Power" are raw in spirit and slick in form, channeling the old school West Coast vibe familiar to fans of Doc Martin without being stuck in the past. Classic Drum machines, cut up vocal samples, and tripped-out synths keep you on the edge, while deep, funky basslines ensure your feet will stay moving and your booty shaking.Theirs is the sound of the spirits of Future Sound of London, Coldcut and KLF are being summoned to the dancefloor at a Southern California full moon party.

Two remixes perfectly complete the picture.Tel Aviv's Red Axes (I'm A Cliche) take "The Joint" towards italo and disco without falling for the usual clichés, proving once again they are one of the most exciting acts in dance music at the moment, while Maxime (an alias of Populette's Max Pask) injects "Funkin Power" with distorted drum machines and gritty analog bits, showcasing his love for the darker side of dance music.

Honey Soundsystem and Cocktail D' Amore present:
stereogamous feat. Shaun J. Wright - Face Love Anew
Limited to 500 12" Vinyl

The Far Out Monster Disco Orchestra, Far Out's 20th anniversary disco project, released its double LP last year. It features the arrangements of Azymuth's late Maestro José Roberto Bertrami and the legendary Arthur Verocai alongside a host of other Brazilian musical icons. FOMDO10 is the latest in a series of vinyl only releases on Far Out. Previous producers providing their re-works to the series include Theo Parrish, Marcellus Pittman, Mark Pritchard, 4hero, Isoul8, LTJ Xperience and many more.
Striking that perfect balance between mood and groove that seems only possible out of Detroit, House pioneer and Slum Village DJ Andres' signature bounce lays the foundation for chopped-up harp samples beautifully eerie bells and the slick vocals of Mia Mendez. Having spliced all this into one spooky, hypnotic stepper of a track, the ghost of disco is clearly in Andres' machine and it's sure to compel even the most profane dance floors. It's another future classic in the vein of Andres' more ethereal house productions: the kind that saw Andres initially catapulted from Hip Hop hero to a true Deep House innovator.
On the B side, New York house veteran DJ Spinna adds a slightly more broken edge to the disco original, which, along with a beefcake bass-line, Bertrami's expressive Rhodes and Mendez' vocal, creates an emotive boogie bounce that patiently builds in expression and intensity with the help of some shimmering funk synth. No one puts the funk in house music quite like Spinna and this is a prime example. As producers, Andres and Spinna are humbling examples of what it takes to succeed within the framework of multiple fields. It's their dedication to house music, with a deep, intrinsic understanding of its Disco heritage that amounts to such consistently powerful productions.
12" Heavyweight Vinyl

2 quality re-edits from Fingerman, A1 track 'Never Survive (Fingerman Edit)' re-works Seal 'Crazy', B side re-edits 'What A Fool Believes' by The Doobie Brothers

Alex Gloor and Sasa Crnobrnja began traveling the world together under the In Flagranti moniker over a decade ago after initially meeting in Switzerland in 1991. Ever since, the veteran dance music producers have offered up a unique marriage of sample-based disco and electro, releasing their prolific catalog on imprints like Erol Alkan's Phantasy Sound and French outfit, Kitsuné, along with their own 'disco punk' label, Codek Records Europe.
Thirteen years after their first release, In Flagranti prove once again that their knowledge for quality disco grooves is consummate, showing off top notch use of reminiscent samples and funky synths in new single 'Double Talk'. Rigged up with a soulful, 70s era vocal and a Sunday stroll bassline, In Flagranti's latest offering is truly timeless — a slice of dance music tied down to no trend or generation.
'Double Talk' will be released as an EP along with remixes from Andy Butler of Hercules & Love Affair, Dinamo of Azari & III, and Wolfram.

12" with silkscreen print sleeve
Renate Schallplatten returns with a vengeance, this time showcasing the outrageous talent of our fair-haired Israeli grumpster, Moscoman. Three Yacht Rock killers on acid backed by a larger than life remix from Lithuanian madman, Manfredas. Join us as we take you on a journey through the psyche of a boy turned man turned sarcastic black sheep. Moscoman takes you on a hazy voyage to visit his Girls Down South' for some good times involving 40 ounce malt beverages and maybe a taste of his finest wacky tobacky. Following that is one of Mosco's first ever productions, Deluded Heart' featuring dreamy, mdmaesque synth action galore. Flip the cassette tape and you find Devoue' where Mosco puts the top down on his Chevy Malibu and shows us how smooth his oscillations can get. As you chug along the coast of the mind's eye, you can help but think, Either the car is speaking to me or I ate to many gel tabs at the last rest stop.' When you let the needle keep running, be prepared for a behemoth of a remix by Manfredas featuring gypsy soloists playing bootlegged oriental instruments chopped up in a sampler he bought at a yard sale in 1992. Face melt city.

Mr Zambon's (of The Very Polish Cut-Outs fame) side label TRANSATLANTYK has made quite an impact across a handful of releases This is their debut artist album, and who better to represent the free-wheeling spirit of their ethos than fellow Polish pals, Ptaki The high-flying Warsaw based duo (Their name translates to 'Birds' in Polish) have found themselves the object of hysteria after a mere trio of very well received releases on parent label (TVPC) and more recently for LA's Young Adults. Their music has a depth and enduring quality that has clearly set them apart from contemporaries, and Przelot has given them a broader canvas to, pardon the pun, spread their wings Familiar textures, acoustic guitars, rhodes and treated bass are assembled in a fresh and uplifting way as the duo seem unencumbered by any sense of homage or reverence to past masters.Cod Reggae (done well!), sleazy chuggers, and dreamy mid-tempo workouts sit easily alongside the Yacht Rock leanings and straight up blissed-out beach bar fare. All shot through with an undeniably Balearic sense of well being throughout.

repress coming soon!

'In The Red Room' features four radio hit singles 'Nature's Call', 'People', 'Nobody Knows' and the sublime 'Perfect Love Affair', all of which have hit the UK Airplay Top 50.

vocal talents. Since the release of the album he has appeared on Later...with Jools Holland,
Sunday Brunch, Songs of Praise and recently guested on a Burt Bacharach special from London's Royal Festival Hall (which is to be broadcast in December on BBC 4).

Now available to coincide with Shaun's performance at the 2015 BBC Radio 2 Live In Hyde Park concert is a new Special Edition of the album which includes his acoustic version of 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' - originally performed on the Chris Evans Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 2 and also performed on Later, with Jools Holland accompanying Shaun on piano.

Along the way he has enjoyed support from Elton John - who has hailed Shaun as one of his favourite new artists - and actor Idris Elba, one of his oldest friends, who has contributed a remix of 'Nature's Call'.

With an impressive career in musical theatre - from The Lion King (in which he has
been appearing as Mufasa for the past seven years) to Tommy and Les Miserables - Shaun has won many critical accolades, including an Olivier Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor in the musical play Parade.

Some facts about Duncan Gray... He's a multi-instrumentalist tune smith... He has a label called Tici Taci... He was, along with our kid, one half of the criminally under-rated machine funk duo 'The Sons Of Slough' who produced an album of elastic electro ("Milk, Milk, Lemonade") and invented electro-bingo ("Two Fat Ladies... Aux 88"). He's recorded a cover version of Robert Calvert's (ex-Hawkwind) "Lord Of The Hornets"... He's played space guitar on a number of my remixes (we like to call his sound 'pink wray'). He's given me 4 tracks of low-slung sleazey loveliness to release on Bird Scarer..."

Andrew Weatherall : March 2015

Young, beautiful and talented... that's the attitude that Strip Steve's debut album MICRO MEGA is made of. Digging in the spirit of the glam and pop scene of the 80s the French DJ and Producer (livin' in Berlin now) put together a potpourri of high-class House, Nu-Disco, Techno and Dubstep tracks. Strip Steve knows how to create a sticking summer rave soundtrack like STOMP, which was formerly released as a first impact of his upcoming album. Even though he takes us on a trip back to the 80s shiny sides (RADIOCHECK) and darker sides (CALCIUM feat. Das Glow) we know from past releases. He does not hide his musical roots and background when living up to his origin with MONEY TROUBLE FUNK. Proving his talent in different styles and sounds he collaborated with the lucid and wild eyed dream-pop duo Puro Instinct (from L.A.), young protégées of living legend Ariel Pink, creating a flirty and emotional track - ASTRAL PROJECTION which will be the 1st official single-release taken from MICRO MEGA. The track goes more to the root and encapsulates musical influences from The Beach Boys, Chic, and modern disco like Amplified Orchestra, highlighting the fact how versatile and multi-faceted Strip Steve's musical approaching can be. It's the flirtyness with fragile lucency and the infantile embracement of the simple and still undiscovered pop-formula which leaves the song Grow and Breathe on its own. This cocktail is best served by the beauty of your own imagination. As a hypnotic dance-floor track should not be missing, Strip Steve teamed up with the legendary Robert Owens to feature him on ONE THING and this track is definitely a one 'BIG' thing. His voice of heaven together with Strip Steve's strong soundlines builds a mega attitude that leaves no feet still. This is hell of a debut album... from MICRO to MEGA !!! MICRO MEGA OUT ON BOYSNOIZE RECORDS | JULY, 2nd 2012

Broken Arrows are the powerhouse duo of Londonís Bill Ambrose and Spruxx. United over an envy inducing collection of vintage and modern synths and drum machines. Broken Arrows are the sound of a slime coated pansexual Club DíAmore as populated by malfunctioning ED-209s getting real freaky. Taking cues from classic EBM, Minimal Synth, these three dark-fucking-wave destroyers are complimented by a remix from the one-man-brutalist-factory known as Drvg Cvltvre, taking the title track and twisting it into a reimagined 8-bit NES grinder / grindr. Including download code.

Smoke & Mirrors - Is a breaky house track with old 70's vocal samples & a heavy sub bass rolling beat.

Smoke & Mirrors (Hanfry Martinez remix) - Rolling bass stabs with that Apollonia esk percussion. Amazing remix of an already fantastic original.

Nobodies Freakin - The deeper side of the EP, plodding bass with latin drums & vocals with strings to fill out the background.

Body - Old school sample fused with a heavy electronic bass & percussion. Vocals with an ambient feel give the track that big room dance floor filler vibe.
Early Support:
John Dimas, Timmy P, Him_Self_Her

Hot on the heels of their glowing Holy Hustler debut EP, Twisted Soul Collective release their follow up via the A&R Edits imprint. 'Do' - retouched by Jonathan Smart, Martina Pencova and Clive T - will be immediately familiar to all who've got down to a Greg Wilson set in recent times.

This sensational Stevie Wonder re-edit of 'Do I Do' has been a heart-shaped staple of his club and festival gigs over the last six months.

'Blow Your Whistle' (aka 'Shake & Blow') from Chuck Brown and the Soul Searchers gets the Twisted Soul treatment by Jonathan Smart and Clive T on the flip, easing in a DJ-friendly intro and outro and bringing the unforgettable female DJ vocal from The Warriors into play. Relentless, fast-paced and causing dance floor fever wherever it's heard, can you diggggg it

Optimo Trax 16 is a various artists EP featuring tracks from Glasgow, London, New York & Edinburgh.

First up is Glasgow dj, Beta with his debut release "Endless Plains" a broken percussive, spine tingler. 100% emo.

Next London's L/F/D/M who had the first release on Optimo Trax returns under the modified moniker Love's Flaccid Disco Muscle with something a little different. "3am at the Aqua Disco" is bass heaviness with an almost exotica-style lead line. Unique and glorious.

Side two kicks off with New York's Alex Burkat (now relocated to Philadelphia) with an 8-minute depth-charge, "Culture Full Circle" that features a mutated sample form a legendary reggae track. One to get lost in.

The EP closes out with Modini (aka Neil Landstrumm and Alan Parley) with "Ghost Seducer": bass, dub and bleeps 21st century style.

4 different artists, 4 A-sides!

From the tropics comes Whiskey Disco, a sneaky re-edit label bent on dredging the decanter for diffident dancefloor genius from

latent disco perpetrators. It's loosely connected to Sleazy McQueen and his assorted cohorts.
