House Vinyl New Releases - News

Kitted out in the finest of old skool, trad Ninja livery, here comes the new single from Drew Lustman aka FaltyDL. Designed squarely for the dancefloor, the two tracks catch hold of you and never let go. 'Hardcourage' starts off ostensibly four to the floor before working in enough subtle rhythmic drive to satisfy the most ardent polyrhythmagist. Dub influences abutted with jazz swing and rave insistence, FaltyDL makes the hard work of getting you moving look easy. 'Our House Stab' continues at a similar tempo and with a melancholy feel which resolves into such a jackalicious groove that shape-making is all but guaranteed.

Now they've got the messy business of establishing 100% quality out of the way, those lovely chaps behind the SLEAZYBEATS BLOG Dutch/Danish imprint Sleazy Beats Recordings make ready with their 10th and FINAL release in this series.
For SBR10, they've secured the unfathomable talents of Mr. Frank Booker. The New-Zealand based producer who Co-Hosts the acclaimed Hit It & Quit It radio show with none other than Recloose.
He doesn't put out much music (a handful of EPs over the past few years on class imprints such as Untracked, Japan's Wonderful Noise and Fine Art), but when he does get his hands dirty in the studio, the results are invariably exceptional.

Frank's chuggy, fuzzy, understated drums and driving basslines are some of the finest in the game, and he has found a way of weaving samples of old and forgotten soul nuggets into his productions that is neither obvious nor easy, layering sound upon sound and effect upon effect while still letting a track 'breathe' and retain the natural swing of the source material.
As it happens, the 'Fall Out EP' features some of Frank Booker's finest work to date. Title track 'Fall Out' is an irresistable uptempo peak time nugget that cleverly walks the line between moody deephouse and organic disco. Flip over for 'Boss', a pearl of a midtempo track with loads of oomph and drive that keeps building and building. On 'Points', the closing track of the EP, Frank Booker conjures up an infectious beatdown groove with a killer bassline.

The sleeve features pictures of fans of the label with their records from all over the world !

Gramme spluttered into life in 1996, high on the fumes of 99 Records, ESG, Liquid Liquid, Factory's ACR, New Order & Daft Punk's album 'Homework'. Their ambition was to make raw, accessible and deeply pleasurable party music for those left cold by the tired and uninspiring sounds of big beat. Gramme and the Output imprint paved the way for a new musical movement and was influential in the early sound of New York's DFA and bands like The Rapture and The Juan Mclean.
Now, in 2012, this joie de vivre has never bean more apparent. Their first release in 6 years, EP2.1 came out in March and flew off the shelves, as did Hot Chip re-edits of classic Gramme tracks 'Like You/Mine' which was released on a New York bootleg imprint.
Now 'Too High' EP drops this June. This new EP on the band's own imprint Physical Release Recordings takes the Gramme sound to yet new musical echelons. 'Too High' is an addictive hypnotic, anthemic ode to the dancefloor. 'Headsore', a bleepy, intensely spirited whirl of inner verve being released through musical veins. 'I'll Make It Up' takes the pace down with a seductive clicky groove, oozing a lush yet melancholic vibe that will make the hairs on the back of one's neck tingle. And then there's 'I Can't Resist', a contemporary slice of post-punk funk heaven.

Human Woman is the new signing on hfn music, made up of two very promising artists from Iceland; Gisli Galdur (aka Galdur) of prolifi c Icelandic band Trabant, and producer Jón Atli Helgason (aka Sexy Lazer).

An uplifting, hopeful, and cheery as well as hard-edged, tight, fidgety, and frantic House release.

Next up on the docket - we slow things down ... just a touch .. and welcome in a cast of new players along with a familiar face for the next installment on the Kolour mother-ship.
Some of you might recognize the name "Klic" from the wildly popular release on the brilliant Home Taping Is Killing Music release from last year that featuring the smash hit "Disco Music". Teaming up with fellow Londoner Lokiboi .. Klic makes their Kolour Recordings debut in sublime fashion with a couple of heavy, lo-slung joints. Remixing duties also see another Kolour Recordings debut with the talented hands of Frank Booker & join us if you will as we welcome back our old pal .. secretsundaze own Ethyl to round things out.

Three classic tracks from past and present on one record. Essential

After much demand for a vinyl release the duo asked to make a short run of their latest remixes and were delighted to gain permission to release this legit but very limited 12".
Only 300 copies worldwide, don't sleep cause when they're gone, they're gone!!

The concept of climactic and chassis shaking is synonymous with Rayko. And his vision does not disappoint. It draws you in and layer by layer, this structurally more simplified midnight burner slowly but surely intensifies - through its reliance on chunky bass, trademark mid-point vocal introduction and heavy use of synths. It is both playful and a little bit naughty. Destination dance floor.

Time & Space Machine twist the grain and strip it back towards a more minimal mood with their inviting exploration. Whilst embracing the subtle elements of the original, this remix is quite transformational with its gracious representation and varying cultural influences. The clever use of vocal and instrumental interplay is particularly dreamy and enables the listener to feel as if this unfurls like sunrise. Atmosphere plus.

Greg Wilson personifies deep groove and his heady remix is all about its big, bad bass line. Opening with drum kicks that could send the neighbours into a tailspin, this is soon accompanied by flickering synths and haunting upper level harmonies. The chugging bass is complemented by the vocal introduction in the middle section and whilst grounding this somewhat, it also flies with an unmistakably sharp touch.

Rounding off this selection perfectly, Toby Tobias proves, once again, his capacity to take a track and make it his own with this stunning down-tempo remix. Tobias' interpretation offers an unassuming alternative. Seductive in its progression, it is a golden thread of lightness and beauty. The eloquently funky mood is enhanced by a more diverse selection of drums, gentle use of pads and trills. This is perfectly balanced with a waving bass line and a subtle, teasing vocal, ensuring that this is as smooth as silk and elegantly ethereal.

DFA has long been a favourite at the Bitches HQ and we were chuffed to be asked to remix one of our favourite acts, The Rapture. We certainly were not shy and dove headfirst into this mix bringing out the guitars and the lovely Beach Boy-esque harmonies twisting it into an indie-electro-house dance floor stomper. It's not for the wallflowers to be sure.

DFA have released this goodie digitally, but as we Bitches love our biscuits, we had to see it released on vinyl. And of course, we must ensure premium sound quality so this release is 45 rpm on 180 gram vinyl. Happy listening.

Coming off the back of their acclaimed self-titled debut album in September 2011, Montreal's alt-electronic duo Flowers and Sea Creatures step up with a new EP. First up is the brand new 'Head First Then Heart'. Gauzy, strung-out electronic Montreal pop. Second up, 'Head First Then Heart' (Ytre Rymden Dansskola Remix). Bouncy, summer Nordic disco from Prins Thomas protegees. Third up, Electronique (Lephtee Remix). Moody melancholic Detroit electronics from lone wolf, Lephtee. Say no more.

The boys are back....back with another banger too. Definitely the best
little label doing the rounds around these parts of late. Vienna's Luv
Shack Records continue with the good groove venturing once again into
suspenseful House and Disco. This time the turn of LeSale to pull out
the big thick juicy drums and chunky basslines for which Luv Shack is
making a very respectful name for itself. Guaranteed heavyweight thump
when you flop the needle to the left side every time with the Luv Shack.
Original mix of 'We Go Straight Ahead' gets us off to the pristine start
with a huge slice of modern Vienna Disco Funk. It's tight, it's tasty
and the tempting vocal teases to the max.
Burnin Tears tear away some of the Funk but add the energy in a proper
remix style for 'We Go Straight Ahead'. The big trademark claps from the
guys get the thing moving, and I mean moving. Style all the way too with
textures and woven sound giving it the elegant tactile quality which is
missing from so much of todays music.
B Side begins with 'What You Get' in its original guise. Again, another
thumping humping banger with a cheeky sample of something to tease the
living daylights out of you and me! Nice prodding too of the synth
aiding and abetting this classy little musical mood swinger. And what
about that 'little bell' I definitely want that shit on my new bike.
And finally, Jakobin & Domino get a shot to remix 'What You Get'. 'Last
but not least' goes the saying. Or should we say 'leave the best to
last' What a great remix from the J&D, flexing their musical muscles
big time with some seriously deep House. Just turn off the feekin'
lights for this one and get totally lost and submerged. A deep serene,
almost tranquil groove, I was just as comfortable listening to it lying
down on a sofa, as I would be dancing upright like a nutcase at a club.
Love it!
Alan Brown, Soul Seduction, Vienna

Brilliant chugging groove, with bombastic electro house feel, beautiful
synths and a slinky disco touch. Jay Shepheard in his best form. Peak time
drama.

Following a background behind the scenes in the dance music industry, first
in music PR then seven years working at UK online music store Juno Records,
Jay Shepheard has gone on to build a reputation as one of the key figures
in the new wave of electronic music. Starting in back in 2007 with a string
of EPs on Munich's Compost Black Label Jay has gone on to release
productions and remixes with a diverse range of influential labels

Nu Disco act of 2009 in the Beatport Music Awards.

A breakthrough artist features on this, the new 7th Sign, which also sees Conforce deliver a slick remix. Here the label once again unearths some new talent. Leeon, a Glasgow-based DJ and producer, uses his debut to serve up three beautiful slices of the proper machine soul we've come to expect from 7th Sign.

For the 4th release on their CockTail d'Amore Music, Discodromo and Boris bring you the exciting and extraordinary sound of Lord Of The Isles. With a handful of releases for labels such as the Japanese Ene and Firecracker offshoot, "Unthank", Lord of The Isles is currently one of the most talked about names in the electronic music scene. The sound in these 4 tracks moves between ambient electronica, Planet E techno, Kompakt shuffling trance (check out the sublime Searching) and mid tempo balearic house chuggers, with squelches and bubbles in all the right places. They are highly sophisticated deep-disco house movements encrusted with splurges of sonic texture. Lord of The Isles has amassed support from a long list of both seasoned and new school DJs, including Masters like David Mancuso & DJ Harvey, who included one LOTI's track on his recent X Mix CD, Andrew Weatherall, Daniel Wang, Fudge Fingaz and Linkwood. As usual: Limited 12" to 250

Hell Yeah Recordings's sister disco label Danny Was a Drag King is on a roll! Italian DJ/producer Luminodisco's music stands out from the current stagnant re-edit game, his brilliant production skills are obviously influenced by the best of the past but aimed to original purposes.

Inspired by the decades of Electronic Dance Music and not the trends of today Yes We Dance aims to keep the real Underground in your mind. It goes through Soul, Funk, Disco, Classics, Chicago & Deep House, between Italo and Afro American dance music not following the Club and Scene mainstreams of these days, everything began as a Party from friends for friends just to go out for having a good time and dance to the records we use to love, cause the public wasn`t doing it. But there was soon more needed...

In recent times it has been fashionable for European producers to try and recreate the classic sounds of Detroit. The true vibe and feel can surely only come from the City itself As his name suggests, whilst we know very little about Anonym, we do know that he hails from the legendary Motor City, and the true essence of his home town can be heard and felt in his music. Classic sounds constructed with a modern touch. Gritty, raw and crying out for sweaty basements.

Locussolus are DJ Harvey, Sam Fox and Tara Selleck, ably assisted by Josh Marcy. They record in Venice Beach CA. Their first album was acclaimed and lauded as well as being included in many of 2011 'Best Of' lists. People bought it. They are back to give you more. This is the sound of Malibu meeting The Eastern Block.......Berghain is a song named after the Berlin club. Harvey ventured out on to the club post set and got lost in the experience for hours proving that sometimes the DJ should step out from the booth, see life from the other side and be inspired.Telephone is Locussolus having a good time. A fun irreverent pop, disco boogie FM radio hit that never happened, happening. Complete with deluxe packaging and 180g vinyl

Straddling with the twin disciplines of house and disco with a unique twist and an eye for the underground, fresh London DJ / producer Nolan is making serious waves. His debut release 'Thief' was snapped up by New York's Nervous Records and made its way into the discerning boxes of Wolf & Lamb, Droog and Maceo Plex, in addition to being picked up for remix by emerging house talent Huxley and Timo Garcia. With Ghetto Bicep, the talented Nolan has now delivered his follow up release to Connaisseur. The title track is a bouncy Disco/ Chicago hybrid in best Hot Creations manner with a lively bassline and catchy synths. On the flip, you will find a lovely coverversion of MK's classic 1991 tune 'The MKappella'. Nolan replayed all instruments, creating a fresh-up, more modern but very respectful version. In the digital package, you will also find an additional dub-version. With remixes for Culprit forthcoming and a busy DJ schedule, 2012 will certainly be Nolan's year.

Number 3 on Strobelight Records !!!

This release has been a long time coming. All the way from Russia, Kirill Sergeev aka The Saint Petersburg Disco Spin Club, has been catching our attention for some time now. So much so we asked him to take the reins for the launch of the new Conservation Dept. label. He obliged with three absolute belters!

Easy dancefloor electro techno, bootlegging Joan Jett and Aznavour

Paper Recordings are back to the wax and tucked up nice and snug at All Ears !
Coming through with a heavyweight release, Day By Day by Research complete with a Psychemagik remix.
Research were a post punk, industrial jazz funk band who formed in the early 80s supporting bands such as Material and Pigbag as well as playing sessions for the BBC and Womad.
They released one album, the still sought after 'Social Systems'. Recent interest in the band resulted in releases on Rong / DFA and Bearfunk. Their 2010 Reworks twelve-inch was awarded single of the week on Boomkat.
The Day By Day Dub is stripped back disco not disco that fuses live percussion, bass, guitars, drums, pads and vocals by Valerie Maxfield (Groove Armada / Freestylers) but with studio touches locking it down to a fierce groove. The tension builds until the Rhodes chords drop to give it some deep soul disco.
Psychemagik continue their purple patch with a floor heavy mix that mixes up disco and deep house but is all class.
They retain the original elements but add stabs, pads and bass and completely re-arrange it for dance floor impact.
Best buckle up for this one.
Magic
You bet

As Ajello say: "The idea for a cover version of N.O.I.A.'s "Looking For Love" was born a couple of years ago - an idea of Alessandro Piatto, younger brother of Davide Piatto, original member of N.O.I.A. As soon as Alessandro proposed it, we asked whether we could have the original tracks but, unfortunately, they have been lost over the years. Immediately his brother Davide brought together the original lineup of N.O.I.A. and locked them up in the studio to record the voice from scratch and some of the synth parts. Our intervention was first on the drums, replacing the original for a more uptempo beat, and then the bassline, shaping it to a more modern sound. The vocals were treated with filters and echoes, and we also added some new guitar parts and synth lines. It was an honour to us, Ajello, to bring to light an Italo-disco classic that has really influenced us and we have put all our efforts to create a version that is timeless, as much as the original. "

Marcos Cabral and Jacques Renault's latest On the Prowl 12' features the return of Andy Ash, the man who dropped 'Another World' with them last year (OTP007) as well as a grab of edits on OTP Party Breaks way back in 2010. As is to be expected with the talented, young producer, the EP is all groovy, bouncy, high-octane house with a hardy injection of disco glitz.

'Get Loose' is what its name implies--an elastic, fidgety whirl of dancey guitar strums; a heavy bass that pans in and out, mimicking the experience of opening the door to an underground club; and a playful keyboard melody. 'Love Me Straight' is a spacier affair, with a lounge-y pulse and hypnotic synth hook that creeps in, out, and around your ears. The Deep Space Orchestra remix amps up the bass of the original, making the entire track sound like it's being played under water. And 'You Show Me' is a perfect example of Ash's trademarks all coalescing into one big pile of shuffling dance floor fun--you can almost see the swirling disco ball lights through your eyelids and feel the smoke machine juice snake into your nostrils.

Between Berlin and Vienna, Giallo Disco Records is a new label dedicated to the sub-sub-genre of Horror Disco. Gianni Vercetti's macabre soundtracks are presented with lashings of VHS grain. 'L'Incubo Senza Fine' is dripping with tension, a relentless kick drum thud like the march of the undead themselves. Legowelt's remix only adds to this, calling on the sound of his most recent collection 'The Teac Life'. Antoni Maiovvi's Rituals Of Lust is a 98bpm dark EBM/New Beat-esque stomper. Retro-space age futurism, battleships preparing for war near the moons of Jupiter. Themroc(k)'s would perhaps be the perfect music for a malfunctioning T-800, demented vocals a-go-go. Dark brooding action soundtracks for a bleak tomorrow. Presented on 12inch. Limited to 200 copies.
