House Vinyl New Releases - News

It’s an honor to announce the next release on Giorgio Records. We present to you Simon Bennett and his beautiful track ‘I Wanna Tokyo’u’, which is reborn on vinyl again after 37 years! An elegant track, written and sung divinely by Lorenzo Lombardino aka Simon Bennett. Back on track is the legendary Flemming Dalum with a stunning remix. On top we welcome Marcello Giordani to the Giorgio Records family, who serve us a remix and ‘rhythm track’ to dance forever!

When I first stumbled across mix tapes out of Hamburg's seminal Front Club (with Klaus Stockhausen and Boris Dlugosch at the helm) during the glorious and carefree early days of the popularized internet, there were certain tracks on them that struck a chord and had me rewinding the mp3-player.
In fact there was one specifically, I couldn't stop listening to. The mixture of an infectious bass line, a super sharp snare, "music" and "harmony" vocal snippets, happy claps and synths lines that evoked pictures of a convertible going down a coastline, and - to top it all off - a tribal chant, was irresistible. After some intensive track-id-hunting pre-shazam, I found out that the heaven-sent hymn was Music by an act called Syncbeat. Originally released in 1984 during the craze that was called UK Electro via Street Sounds resp. Streetwave and later licensed to German omnivore Zyx Records. A joint venture between the Electro-Funk mastermind,DJ pioneer and edit maestro Greg Wilson as well as Manchester musicians Martin Jackson & Andy Connell, it is exactly that type of dance track that eludes any classification - as you can see from my description above. Or to cite Greg Wilson himself from one of his essays on the subject of UK electro: "The track that received the best response was "Music" by Syncbeat, which was full of good vibes and could have easily been re-vamped down the line as a House track."
34 years later down the line, and in the wake of mix-cd-compilation by Stockhausen and Dlugosch portraying those divine years at the Front, Music is available again for the second time on this planet. Carrying all three mixes of the original and equipped with an extended Re-Mix, a bonus beat and a tribal reprise all perfectly conceived executed by Boris Dlugosch, this like a dream came true and a welcome addition to the Super Sound Singles series on Running Back

The first Studio Barnhus compilation, Studio Barnhus Volym 1, is coming out at the end of August.

The 19-track release will feature music from the Stockholm label's three founders—Axel Boman, Kornél Kovács, Petter Nordkvist—plus various associates, ranging from local newcomers to superstar friends of the label like DJ Koze, John Talabot and Superpitcher.

It'll be available on triple-pack vinyl, double CD and in all digital formats from August 31st.

Massimiliano Pagliara returns to Live At Robert Johnson with a double release titled Devoid Of Dimension Pt.1 and Pt.2.
Devoid Of Dimension Pt.1 will be avaible on 12" vinyl and digital. Devoid Of Dimension Pt.2 on 7" vinyl only.

Reprise! One Swallow Doesn’t Make A Summer Part 2 is the follow up to a Various Artists sampler for a hypothetical mixtape (still hasn’t been made). This time, the international cast consists of (in order of appearance): Llewellyn, Fred Asquith, John Noseda and Lipelis X AC. The plot: Dance music in its broadest and loosest form and at its best without too many sub-genre flags. „Synergy Bar“ by Llewellyn is the starting point. An ode to a well-known place in Berlin, it was conceived there as well as floor-tested by DJ GJ and oozes that special Sunday sweat from every single pore. Fittingly, „Please Hold The Line“ by Yogtze follows next. Remixed by Fred Asquith purely because he thought he had too, it puts party make-up on the originals pretty face. Flip around for John Noseda’s power house trip „Spiral Galaxy“. Imagine a New Romantic cover band being mangled by an Acid House (the philosophy, not the 303) DJ. Last but not least, „Central Store“ by Lipelis X AC closes this chapter, with some bittersweet heartbreak rave in very slow motion. Cry, dance, cry some more, but don’t stop dancing!

Dynamic Dublin-duo Boots & Kats get given the keys to the House of Disco channelling an Italo Disco rave of interplanetary proportions for HOD028. Three pure peak-time pumping Italo warpers, complete with an exquisite Johannes Albert’s Party Talk remix to round off the package.

Fists in the air business in a far-away planet, one where synthesisers rule the lands using colossal kicks and huge snares to enhance the power of their all-encompassing arps that range from rapid fire bass to gargantuan top lines. Johannes Albert then throws in some party chatter and deft sampling to his reworking of ‘Party Talk’ completing this futuristic capsule of interstellar goodness.

It’s the best of that ‘80s Italo sound given a modern take that harnesses Boots & Kats’ unbridled Irish energy.

Unadulterated funk-styled boogie bomb from ’82 by Laurice Hudson, ‘Feel My Love’ is a monster cut whether you’re hearing it for the first time or 50th and with a price tag of upwards of £60 on an original, an officially licensed remastered, reissue was clearly in order.

Infectious basslines, coupled with juicy layers of funk strumming and sensuous vocals from Laurice, co-written by Curtis Hudson, with Pure Energy on production its a classic through and through.

The original, the inspirational, the bombastic, the never bettered, the one.
'Don't make me wait' is all of the above and so much more. Classic to the core. Huge earth shattering record right here.
OK, so the scoop, for the uninitiated is this - the Peech Boys were Larry Levan's group, we're talking early 80's NYC here, 1982 to be precise, around the height of the Paradise Garage as Larry was making the transition from superstar DJ to producer. He brought a sparse, dubbed out, narcotic late night feel to the overall sound of this record. This was a short-lived project, but the influence is still felt today, the Peech Boys DNA is inside the veins of modern dance music, as is Larry's. There is no underestimating what an impact this record had. 7+ minutes of electronic bliss, trailblazing stuff, and don't get us started on the dub. Do yourself a favour, BUY this classic if you don't own it already, you'll keep coming back to it time and time again. Guaranteed. This essential 12" is repressed here in it's original 1979 glory, an essential classic that has stood the test of time for the last 30+ years & is now available again, remastered & repressed for 2017 in conjunction with West End Records, NYC.

Rain & Shine are proud to present, the first official reissue of this sacred slice of funk since it's 1976 release. And with a median price of £228 on Discogs it's about time us mere mortals had the chance of owning it.

Remastered and reissued with the original band members blessing, 'Ain't No Need' has long been a favourite of the some of the most well-respected DJs across the scene, from Floating Points and Sadar Bahar, to Mr Scruff and Theo Parrish - with Theo even releasing a live cover version performed alongside his band on their 2014 tour.

Strictly limited to 1000, never to be repressed - hand numbered, 7 Inch picture sleeve with a dinked centre hole.

Australian-Canadian cult label release their third and final vinyl sampler from their Sun Gaze / Moon Faze compilation series. The cult flies ever closer to the sun with sonic assistance from Peter Power, 84PC, A1st, Thomash,
DJ Grount , Lum & Von Party Feat. Naduve.

We live in a beautiful world, ladies and dudes... cherish it in all it's different forms, love it and don't be afraid. Never forget we're in this together: we are all in one mind.

PETER POWER pulls up the post peyote summer sunrise anthem, a sweet sing-a-long perfect for cult heart-opening exercises and shamanic morning rituals.

Tel Aviv's 84PC, a trio comprised of Malka Tuti's Katzi Kenneth, Asaf Samuel and Naduve, deliver a beautiful piece of sun-kissed guitar prog downtempo. Mellow, melting, mental, magic mushroom music.

A1st drops on A3 with a soaring, beautiful Theme of Sun Memory, an ecstatic journey inward to the radiant heart of the universe.

Cult favourite THOMASH reworks Calando Fumando Palho (released on his 2015 ep) into a hauntingly beautiful lunar version, balancing organics and synthetics like a psychedelic boss.
Japan's DJ Grount steps in to the party with Dolmenzoo, a clap-jacking bell jam that runs up and down the inside of your mind. Label guru VON PARTY calls in NADUVE to charm the psychic serpent on Cobra Kush, a slow-burning tribal trip-out best served with a fat spliff.
Finally, LUM joins the familia with Rosa, a ritual offering to pacha mamma, a gentle tribal call to realignment with our mother, the earth.

London's Midnight Riot are back from the land of the rising sun with round two of the most obscure Japanese boogie and disco jams. They have brought together the finest DJ's and collectors for another installment of unique productions and edits. A must have for all the DJ Muro, Joey Negro and DJ Harvey fans out there, these guaranteed grooves are completely impossible to find in this day and age. Highlights include Shit Hot Soundsystem; who not only win award for best name of the year, but hammer out a wicked edit of the Giorgio Moroder influenced "Kannushi". Label staples Yam Who Go with a lo-slung boogie funk excursion courtesy of their edit "Mono Drive".

Dreamt in 1982 by two best friends at a Disco in Dallas and released in 1984, Chazz’s Sassy Style has everything to please funk aficionados : stellar arrangement, catchy refrain and modern groove. With Red Greg’s 45 edit on the B side, Reach Out reissuing this gem is more than a gift to record lovers! Pressed with love by Mother Tongue in Italy, it will be the best homage we can have to uphold their legacy in music.

Legendary DJ Daniele Baldelli, who was resident at the infamous Cosmic Club on Lake Garda and pioneer of the 'cosmic' sound, joins forces with Italian maestro DJ Rocca and takes File Under Disco on a journey into outer Disco space.
Famous as an extremely eclectic and open-minded DJ, here Baldelli transports this approach to the production of 'Funkynoizer'.
And in the hands of a master producer like Rocca the result is a track which fuses Dub, Afro, Disco and electronic elements seamlessly into a tasty alternative discoid brew.
Remix action comes from Brasilian duo Selvagem (big fans of Baldelli) whose reputation grows and grows with every spin of each record and every release that passes through their talented hands. Here they dress the original in leopard skin pants and throw into into an all night, outdoor carnival party where anything goes.Next up Pete Herbert & Dicky Trisco take the original on a heads down Disco trip and work it to the bone.
Live driving bass, funky clav and a glorious piano line do a wonky waltz with the the Afro dub essentials of the original.
Finally the man himself DJ Rocca treats us to a very classy Disco-Boogie version that would have rocked legendary parties back in the halcyon days of NYC Disco.

Erik Sumo is one of the most established Hungarian music producers of the last 20 years.
His various acts gained national and international, underground and mainstream success, he scored movies - think of the now cult 'Liza, The Fox Fairy' soundtrack on one of our early 7"s.
His latest album 'Mount Fuji' came out in November 2019, it contains 'Run Into The Wild', an odd yet catchy leftfield floor-filler with an unmistakable mood built of glamorous disco vibes and sinister imaginings from the woods around Fujisan.

On this EP you can hear the previously unreleased disco dub version of the song and 3 remixes taking the original into completely different directions.
Mytron & Ofofo of Multiculti fame chose to go the tribal way by adding some extra percussion and reconstructing the chorus making the track even more dance floor friendly than it was originally.
Oakland based producer E. Live turned the tune into a contemporary boogie burner, while Budabeats staple M.W.D.'s version has an atmosphere that is impossible to describe.

Limited to 400 copies worldwide.

Salsoul Records have always stayed one step ahead of the game. Since the labels inception in the early 1970's the imprint's focus has been firmly fixed on presenting the most cutting edge dance music sounds and in the process the label has been instrumental in creating legends and shaping the landscape of contemporary club culture throughout the original Disco era and beyond. It comes as no surprise that many of todays labels and artists cite Salsoul as a fundamental influence on them and their output. The labels music has been endlessly rediscovered, sampled, re-edited and appreciated over and over again, your favourite DJ's and selectors undoubtedly reach for tracks from the catalogue each time they play. This is why Salsoul continue to collaborate with the best labels and artists out there today.

This is where Italy's Sounds Familiar crew come into the picture, for them Salsoul was always inclusive and for the people. The label's music was — and still is — food for the soul. Sounds Familiar has been about bringing a different flavour to club culture since its inception. Their artists may or may not be known to the masses but their collective and individual influence on global music trends and club culture is inherent and indelible. Salsoul and Sounds Familiar coming together is like a Sunday lunch where generations of friends and family cook together. The food of our grandmothers and forefathers getting a fresh new spin as their children come of age and return to the family home.

Featuring a stellar array of internationally renowned underground diggers, DJ's, producers and remixers including DJ Spinna, Mark Grusane, GE-OLOGY, Twice & Volcov, Kai Alce and Specter, this special collaborative release shines a light on the deep corners of the Salsoul catalogue, lovingly reworked for 2018's discotheques by those who know, feel and understand the label, the dancefloor and respecting traditions while adding something a little bit different and a little bit new.

Even when it's a little bit different, it still Sounds Familiar.

Working his mellow magic on the Growing Bin, Sorcerer entertains your inner child with eight tracks of instrumental west coast pop suitable for dancing, dreaming and surfing a wave or two.
While Basso sat in a Teutonic treehouse, feeding his head with the sounds of the woodland, Dan Judd danced on the sands of San Francisco's Baker Beach. Stretching between them, like the world's longest tin can radio, was the Dream Chimney. This legendary forum, run by Ryan Bishop, better known as The Beat Broker, helped to launch a thousand labels, and the Growing Bin is one of them - all hail the Chim!
Here, Dan, naturally mystic in his Sorcerer guise, satisfies all our sensory needs with a Kinder Surprise of sweet melodies, coastal cool and playful rhythms inspired by his children's earliest responses to music. Following his feelings and avoiding overthinking, he creates open, enticing and accessible cuts; each living and breathing that mellow magic you only get on the West Coast.
'Kids World' kicks into gear with the spheric bass of '2000 Studio', a bouncy embodiment of that spacious San Francisco sound. There's a nod to nu disco but the dreamy dubiness takes the track much deeper, especially as those surf guitars start to detune in the summer heat. The breezy fretwork continues on 'Disco Drums', topping a wriggling groove tailor made for the terrace. Shades of rave refract through a healing crystal at the midpoint, encouraging al fresco dancing from sunrise to sunset. The A3 sees Sorcerer get into the groove of 'Bahia Brothers', rolling that rubberised B-line out of his own Paradise Garage before putting the top down for the carefree Balearic pop of 'Spray Paint.'
The B-side glides into being via the night dubbing grooves of 'Fire Feel', a reverb laden journey though glassy tones, off beat perx and gorgeous chord progressions. Next up, the new wave inspired 'Crunchy' translates Sheffield's daring synth pop into a wide eyed blast of psychedelic house, boosting our mana ahead of the loose limbed and light footed 'First Wave'. Ringing guitars reference Ghanaian highlife, shimmering in the heat haze as Dan funks up the drum kit ready for the broken beat and blissed out energy of sundowning set closer 'Escape Route'.

Spincat Music hits back with a second record, this time bringing 3 well known on charts artists. Funk District, Hotmood and Monsieur Van Pratt join forces with label owners C. Da Afro & J.B. Boogie for a VA that will make the dancefloors fill up in no time!

Picking up right where EP #1 left off, EP #2 kicks things off with a bang. First up is Catz 'N Dogz and Yotam Avni's for 'Blakkat'; a high pace burner ideally suited for dance floors from Panorama Bar to under the LED's of Watergate and every club in-between. The duo return with the 'Bright Version' of 'Afterglow' for the second cut on EP 2 and aptly titled, it pushes an intense, glitter filled ride to it's limits. Embarking onto the B-side, 'O.A. Peas' from heavy hitter Eats Everything & Lord Leopard take a trip down memory lane with a heavily sample based feel good tune that will absolutely demolish dance floors worldwide. Rounding out the EP is a final collaboration between Catz 'N Dogz and Reno Wurzbacher with 'To Ma People' and it's by far the smoothest and most laid back tune of the bundle, but never does it let you rest as a mesmerizing groove and lush atmospherics tell a deep, complex tale of late nights and early mornings.

Planet Trip goes full circle for PT007 handing the keys back to Sydney based Caravan aka Paul Jextra for a heavyweight double sider 7" inch.

Both sides, Rhum Dérangé & Serchin take on interplanetary cosmic & reggae moods with a signature Caravan magic touch. Taking inspiration from past eras and sounds, while marrying dubbed out lines with boogie infused bass, Caravan builds a refreshing approach to modern outernational sounds.

Limited to 300 copies and ready to run the dance.

A true king of the disco revival, JN is back with a 2019 sampler featuring his reworks of songs by TAMIKO JONES, THE TRAMMPS, and PATTI LABELLE. (Z RECORDS)

Budabeats Records' contribution to the long-awaited re-opening of the dancefloors is this EP including four sparkling tunes by four remarkable Hungarian producers.

Although musically completely different, they have one thing in common: they provide the perfect vibes for any late summer party from sunset till sunrise.
After starting off with up-and-coming producer, WaTa's timeless house burner, things get a bit more laid back with 'Historico' an honest and entertaining tribute to the early days of Italo disco, delivered by producer duo Pleasure Voyage.

Budabeats staple M.W.D. continues with a mid-tempo deep groover that builds elegantly and does not let go; the title says it all: 'Jazz808'.
Oneeyedman is another exciting and versatile figure of today's Budapest scene, his closing track is a satisfying slice of deep house with acidic bass, spaced out synths and just the right portion of cowbells.

Limited to 300 copies worldwide.

Disco Bits emerge from lockdown with two fat slabs of Hip House featuring two of the finest MCs ever to grace the mic riding over brand new disque-o rhythms...

A - BDK - ROK THE DISCO TECH
A sure fire party starter! BDK sets it off with killer rhymes over an up tempo prime time disco groove. DBS provides the perfect disco rhythm for an all time great to rock any disco tech.

B - RKM - RITMO ITALO
On a slower tip in that 80's Afro Cosmic Italian vibe. RKM let's the rhythm hit 'em over a chugging beat.

The Bonfido family is getting bigger and has a complete facelift for their new series. For their 004 instalment they are welcoming some new members and some old chaps from the international dance scene. On the A side we have the new coming disco duet Those Guys From Athens with a somehow future classic 90's jam "Like An Eagle", plus the mexican king of disco Hotmood with his latin flavoured "Que Pasa Muchacha''. On the B side we have another mysterious new duet Panta & Rhei with their warm and love oriented "Gimme Your Love". Last but not least the usual Bonfido suspect Sirhan is behind the pick hour, african stomper, "Disco Calippo".

3rd release for the Ravanelli Disco Club this time courtesy of Eben Rees (Haws). Freerange head honcho Jimpster & Tech Support on remix duties.

After S3A's "Pages" double album earlier this year we asked some of our friends to re-interpret and re-construct their favorite original track off the album and deliver these fine remixes. We aimed to have a nice variety in styles on this record and hope you enjoy these tunes as much as we do!
Starting off with the live disco funk of "Lorenz Rhode" who sets the tone for a class dance floor EP and followed by the soulful deep house vibes of French master "Art Of Tones" aka "Llorca" who delivered 3 different mixes to this release. The main mix is on the vinyl and there are two bonus mixes added to the digital release, a "Beats" and a "Dub" version. Ending this brilliant first side is London's newcomer "Dampé" with that deep and jazzy electronica approach we got to love him for on his first debut Dirt Crew Recordings release.

On the flip we pick up the pace and present you the faster dancefloor tracks of Amsterdam's "Nachtbraker" with his freaky hallucinating sounds placed atop of one of these irresistible bass lines only he can come up with and leading towards an "end with a bang" in best Detroit ghetto house style by our own Icelandic fire "Felix Leifur".

Each artist perfectly transported his own unique styles into these tracks and we hope this release with its broad approach will serve any dance floor to its best!

Debut release by Asymetric80. Music made during lockdown, a reflection of these uncertain times. From Apoptygma Berzerk to Covenant, with a genuine ‘Valencia Sound’ from ’90s.

On a newly arisen Amsterdam – Berlin axis, Daniel Monaco and Sauvage World unite for their first collaboration EP on San Francisco based Roam Recordings.

“Paninari On Acid” is a twisted tribute to the first golden age of Italian electronic music. Israeli talent Niv Ast turns the trip into a dance floor bomb, leaving no choice but to move with its chubby bass and synthetic lead lines.

“Teneré” was not only one of Milan’s paninari favourite motorbikes but – most importantly – means “desert” in the Touareg language. This is where Monaco and Sauvage World are taking you for a lysergic adventure filled with sand through a solitary land.

Fabrizio Mammarella brings it back to the age of the machines and delivers an hypnotizing electro version, brilliantly mixing the Arabic tinged nuance of the original with unstoppable killer rhythms and robotic vocals.

Marcel Vogel aka Em Yee joins the RNT roster with a 4-pack of unsurprisingly heavy edits.

The Lumberjacks In Hell label boss takes us on a little trip through one of his own eclectic sets, starting with the oddball boogie of You Move Me and then moving on to the hands-in-the-air positivity of Spreading Energy.

On the flip it's the up-tempo afro burner Don't Be Sabi Say, with the 12' concluding on the whimsically catchy I Wish I Knew The Words. Tried and tested and found true!

Specialgroove Records is proud to announce the release for the first time of the official reissue of MISAGE “you’re here again” It is a true gem of the Italo disco music scene, released in 1987 on a 7 “EP in one hundred copies and never distributed. Today, thanks to the precious collaboration with Michele Del Pecchia and Riccardo Boschi, we have recovered the 12 “extended version never released from the original masters. Side A contains the extended version, while side B contains the vocal and instrumental version 7”.

Closed Paradise brings his inimitably smooth ethos to Lovedancing. His sampladelic originals are a pastiche of sources, glued together for the booty and soul. At his request, none other than Whiskey Disco's own, Pontchartrain and The Silver Rider remix to round out and bring added funk and flex to the array.

Disco Dynamo, Pontchartrain flexes his best for Whiskey Disco 51. An out-and-out showcase of the Detroit native's house background and disco leanings.

After the rip-roaring success of Disco Made Me Do It Vol 1, Riot Records hit you with four more Nu Disco whirlwinds from Danny Kane, Massiande, Chevals and Mark Brickman remixed by the likes of Art Of Tones, Moodena and Michael Gray.

Heavyweight disco dancefloor destruction, that will cause a ruckus whenever and wherever they’re played.

Neon Danza brings you a belter of an EP of retro global house and disco reworks from Aroop Roy.

The producer has tracked down 3 super rare cuts and turned them into timeless dancefloor anthems.
'Tabu Afrique' is an unstoppable 80's Afro-disco monster, with sassy vocals and Soukous guitar licks.
'Magia' is an extended mix of a Brazilian classic with epic vocals and uplifting mid-tempo groove. Finally 'Na Boko Samba' is on a deeper tip, featuring an infectious chorus, and equally catchy synths and an 80's house beat.

If Shelter swam through the serene side of the Library experience on GBR016, CV Vision blasts off in the opposite direction, riding an explosion of funk breaks and frazzled synths into the event horizon on his retro-futurist opus ‘Insolita’.

As contemporary life accelerates way past peak-weird, CV Vision leans into uncertainty and leaves Earth in the rear-view. Strung out on Simulacron-3, World On A Wire and Omaggio Ad Einstein, the Berlin-based musician imagines his own Brave New World, an alternate eXistenZ in a secret simulation.

Using the space age obsession of the Italian libraries as a launch pad, Dennis Schulze slathers a sonic storyboard with ferocious percussion, psychedelic fuzz and the pastoral electronics of Germany’s Kosmische movement. But this is less Can, more uncanny - and Schulze perfectly renders the cognitive estrangement of a simulated reality through his adventurous production. The monolithic live drums, recorded in a Neukölln garage on a battered Soviet kit are smeared with tape hiss, compressed to death and fired through LFOs, re-materialising on record in impossible scale. Time slips out of joint under the wow and flutter of the reel to reel, drum computers add digital interference to organic rhythms and the unfaltering slew of the 303 lends the hallucinatory thrill of the club sound system to an already psychedelic affair.

As Schulze’s imagination runs free, we’re taken through epic space battles and narrow escapes, moments of reflection and affection and a final resolution, all expressed through a dexterous control of movement and mood. For every explosion of break-fuelled adrenaline, there’s a cruise into cryo-chamber music and holodeck exotica. For each neck-snapping blast of acid funk, there’s a zero gravity lullaby waiting just around the corner.

So put isolation on ice and surrender to the strange, this is a trip you don’t want to end.
