House Vinyl New Releases - News

Following the groups major hit "Is It All Over My Face," Arthur Russell continued to release dance singles such as this disco classic "Tell You (Today)," an upbeat dance groove and Loose Joints holdover featuring the vocals of Joyce Bowden.

The song has been remastered from original analog tape for 2014 and repressed in conjunction with the rights holders, BMG.

After putting out Kito Jempere's well received Sea Monsters album last year, Hell Yeah now serve up another selection of remixes of it. Accomplished musician Jimi Tenor, plus Miskotom and Max Essa all contribute before a 7", also taken from the album, lands later in summer. First up is Jimi Tenor, the legndary Finnish musician who has released on Warp, collaborated with Tony Allen and has his own band as well as occasionally playing sax with Kito Jempere Band at live gigs. He flips Puzzled into five minutes of stripped back and moody electronics with plenty of his own flute playing in the track. Busted drum sounds, spooky sci-fi synths and scattered hits make it woozy and late night and utterly absorbing. Miskotom—a newly emerging pair made up of Mik and his wife Andra, both based in Vilnius, Lithuania with credits on Pleasure Unit and Balearic —then reimagine 'Ampa' as a beatdown but of deep house with trudging drums staying low and shimmering synths drift out in all directions. Crunchy hits bring a subtle sense of funk and reverb drenched vocals bring a heavenly feel to the soul drenched grooves and summery keys.
Then comes Max Essa, the Japan based Brit who is a regular on this label as well as the likes of Is It Balearic. His first remix is a huge one that is sure to soundtrack many a boat party this summer. It's a gorgeous rework of 'Ampa' that puts achingly blissful vocals front and centre as low slung bass and slowly turning drums sink you into a pan-pipe laced reverie. Secondly, Essa offers a Dub Reprise that removes the vocals and places all the focus on his churning drums and new age grooves.
This is another perfect package of masterfully electronic horizontal sounds.

Exclusive premieres scheduled in Music is My Sanctuary and Les Yeux Orange and heavy dj support including Groove Armada's Tom Findlay, Blessed Madonna, Erol Alkan, Dino Soccio, Tricky Disco, Leo Zero and many more

"In The Dark", is the new release from Casbah 73. A sensual, sinuous disco affair dealing with touch, human contact and yearning. Three different versions, each a completely different dancefloor proposition and ranging from organic and soulful disco, to hands in the air, uplifting funky horns to searing club banger, all crashing pianos, fierce bass, deep Moog and wild, dubby vocals. It is, in a nutshell, what we need now.

Following on from his recent debut release on Defected/Glitterbox Records, Spanish/US DJ and producer Casbah 73 continues from strength to strength with this, his latest offering, out now on his spiritual home Lovemonk Records.

Recorded locally with a group of top flight musicians and featuring a stellar vocal performance from Angela Gooden.

Roberto Ferrante, now president and founder of Planet Records Group, wrote "Come On Closer" at the age of 18 and "Eyes" and "Faces" by Clio before he was 20. All the songs were entirely created, arranged, mixed and played "by hand" by him, in 1983 the computer had not yet arrived in the recording studios and Ferrante did not have the money to buy a sequencer! "Come On Closer", a classic of Italo-dance were played in Chicago by top deejays who created House Music in the 80s as Mickey Oliver and Ralphi Rosario. This track was played in all clubs and at Chicago Radio Station WBMX by the legendary D.J.s Hot Mix 5, and still today is a very "sought song" by collectors and fans who consider this piece one of the best and clearest examples of proto-house, also used as Sample/Cover by various international productions (Peter Visti/Kenneth Bager "Besos", Neon Indian's "Psychic Chasms", Moulinex "Come On Closer") and used for Tom Ford's US promotional campaign in 2015. The 12" proposes the two original versions: the vocal version by Douglas Roop (an American marine stationed at the NATO base in Naples in those years) and the dub version, both re-mastered in June 2020 by Roberto Ferrante himself in his studios at La Habana, Cuba.
Nobody should be surprised that high energy and Italian-disco were popular in Chicago: house music was in its embryonic phase, so it wasn't competing with Hi-Energy in 1983. This repress edition (without remix) was made with superior sound quality. This sound is present, alive... and still dominating in all clubs!

Swell is the debut album by Marske, a spoken word performer, musician and visual artist originally from the North East of England.

Written and produced with fellow north eastern music maker Man Power (aka Geoff Kirkwood) and released on Me Me Me, Swell is available digitally, and as a special limited edition 12" record featuring a gatefold sleeve designed by Marske.

Swinging from poignant self reflection to wry social commentary and laugh out loud midlife malaise, Swell sits somewhere central in a Venn diagram featuring The streets, Throbbing Gristle, Sleaford Mods, John Cooper Clark and Underworld.

It's a coming of (middle) age album that sees two established creators working together at their idiosyncratic best to create something as honest as it is unique.

"Welcome to Marske. It's not for everyone"

A swelling, string-drenched slice of soulful disco, Kyoto Jazz Massive co-founder Shuya Okino’s 2011 release ‘Still In Love’ remains a hugely in-demand cut for discerning selectors, thanks to its life-affirming vocal provided by Navasha Daya and lush instrumentation. Now Glitterbox Recordings deliver a specially curated 12” package of this record box essential, as this enduring modern-day classic is given a number of re-works from dance’s A-List. This package features mixes from true DJ’s DJ The Reflex, Berlin duo Kyodai, and house legend DJ Spen, which are joined by the blissful original, illustrating the versatility of a truly special record.

The Stone Tape EP is the fourth record in Session Victim’s Pen & Paper series and sees Matthias Reiling’s first solo outing for the vinyl only imprint. Three original cuts betray Reiling’s fascination with the mystic and occult, elevating the listener’s perception and sending dancers into a spiritual and physical seance. Fellow Sorcerer Leafar Legov’s coproduction and Erobique’s enchanting Melodica on Tarot Nouveau and Ouija Dub add more layers of depth and an extra set of black magic spells to the whole. On top of that, italian beatsmith Broke One stuns everyone at Pen & Paper with his remix of the title track “Vibrate", boosting the original with an intense rhythm section and finally lighting up it’s dark path with warm and hopeful harmonies. Vital Sales Points: Matthias Reiling is one half of Session Victim and has released his solo material under his own name on labels such as Giegling, Retreat and XK.

Collecting orders for repress

The second record on Pen & Paper contains two Session Victim original tunes, demonstrating the duo's trademark taste for sublime sample composition.
Smile is dominated by a heavy drum set that paves the way for an assortment of smaller and bigger funk loops, eventually joined by a vibrant lofi chord.
Mourn sees a moody blues sample float on top of the creamiest synthpad, echoing in and out while telling it's dark, old story.

Live Ones let loose label boss Lorca for their sixth release - a tribute to the one and only, Larry Levan.

The A side ‘Larry’s Bomb’ channels that inner disco fire burning deep within. Extended and re-blended Lorca takes the essence of the Paradise Garage and reworks it with a modern tinge.

Flip it to find ‘Look What You Do’, a sun-soaked disco house number perfect for hazy, care-free days as equally as it is for bubbling up dancefloors.

After releasing on Correspondant, Traffico Music and Mortordiscs, the new Cantor EP ‘Convergence’ is published by his own label Underground Pacific. Convergence is an emblematic rendering of Cantor’s attitude in sonic form – a sampling from his consciousness.

Pared down to four arresting tracks, influenced by new wave and post punk, including a remix by the legendary Alexander Robotnick, Convergence presents auditory concepts through which to explore the fundamentals of Cantor’s music: distortions, psychedelia, romanticism and sonic cheerfulness.

The vinyl edition is carefully tended featuring a unique contribution of the Italian artist Fabio Baggio (artbajo).

Black Pearl Records is very proud to present the very timeless
and diverse club-music album "Alles Paletti!", by the
internationally recognised and well respected DJ & Producer
Enzo Elia. "Alles Paletti!" will take you on a musical journey
through the 80s & 90s club music era and it´s genre clash of
Disco, New Wave, Electro, Dub, Balearic, Cosmic, Loft Classics
to the early years of House productions, that again merges
perfectly into the "Zeitgeist" of today. Growing up as a
teenager and a music interested mind at those decades in
Italy, of course Mr. Baldelli & Co. has left a permanent
impression, and the "Cosmic" influence of this unique club
scenery is easy to recognize in Elia´s music. Bringing all these
influences and experiences of Enzo Elia together, melted into
one piece of vinyl, is the perfect time-capsule that captures the
essence of those influential early years onto this album. The
title "Alles Paletti!" resumes out of a typical Berlin phrase,
shows the Berlin-Italian connection, and the city of choice for
Enzo Elia to live for the last 12 years. The whole album was
realised in a very playful time period of about one year,
creating new ideas from scratch or build on Elia´s skteches
together with the producer Roskow Kretschmann in his studio,
preppered with quite a few guest insturmentalists and
vocalists. Since beeing a youngster Enzo Elia is spinning
tracks and delighting audiences in small clubs to big festivals,
releasing music on several reputable labels from mellow-sundown-balearics to hard-hitting-techno, that made him the
international respected DJ and Producer he is today.

Remastered & Remixed versions of the ‘Quare Groove’ classic first released on the group's own Feral Records imprint in Ireland in 1985. Originally inspired by Con O Laoghaire,s trip to Carnival in Trinidad ‘where a woman told me she would see me later at a fete when she was looking ‘Hot and Sexable’’.

After their debut single “Midnight Passion”, VISION releases a full-length album that will delight not only Eighties synth-pop lovers. The Switzerland-based producer duo put their hearts and passion into each of the nine meticulously arranged tracks.

They comprise of various sub-styles of the genre and reflect the social and the political mood of the 80’s decade. The song themes range from the declaration of love by a trench-coated protagonist to a mysterious midnight lady to the tragedies of the Vietnam War and the division created by the Berlin Wall. Over in France, VISION celebrates the french culture in the romantic song “Chérie” set in Paris, featuring a german and french spoken verse style. And there is more to discover!

Uncompromising in recreating that genuine synthetic sound of their teenage years, VISION use exclusively hardware synthesizers, samplers and drum machines from the 1980’s thus creating that unique and pure sound throughout the album.

As a crowning touch, the visuals of the record cover, inner sleeve and labels matching the musical content could come straight from the mid-eighties and were designed by the producers themselves.

VISIONS’s first album is a truly authentic and aesthetic tribute to the neon-colored pop music culture of the eighties and a real feast for the ears and eyes of all music lovers.

Any self-respecting DJ or Disco-lover will be brimming over with excitement upon looking at this impressive selection of tracks, all respectfully and lovingly tweaked by Disco-Dim.

Following up is Skyy's total anthem 'First Time Around', a classic Garage groove and Dimitri's version is near perfect, again, re-touched by someone who truly understands what Disco all about! Essential stuff. On the flipside The Jammers - 'Be Mine Tonight', is another massive Garage smasher, here Dimitri almost edges Shep Pettibone's OG mix into the Boogie stratosphere, just incredible!

Allegedly from the northern regions of California, the 'It's Not A Genre' crew are back to lay out more genre-free fire for ya !

Limited, hand-stamped vinyl 12"

Doing everything they can to pull you out of that groundhog day slump, House of Disco draft in Sound Support, a new project from Dam Swindle’s Lars Dales and long-time collaborator Lorenz Rhode, to work their wonders.

‘Clavi On The Rocks’ is all about the keys. From the emotive chords to the goosebump-giving basslines and Stevie-in-space clavinet mastery, it’s an electro-boogie whirlwind sure to give a hyperboost to any misfiring start to the year.

Next up, ‘Thesaurus Sex’ is some serious sci-fi through your hi-fi, melding punchy bass synths with funked-out stabs, soaring synthwork and a roaming-robo vox.

Piloting over to the B side, ‘Super Elevation’ hits with modulating acidic arps, hard-hitting bass rumbles and galactic melodies before taking you into another dimension with the kind of eyes closed, classic pianos that will reignite the optimism in any wavering heart.

Closing it out, ‘Enduro’ has Sound Support laying vintage loops under buzzed-out basslines and that sure-fire clav goodness, over-driven into the high heavens. Add in a healthy dose of echoing keys, fizzing toplines and space echo claps and it’s closer of epic proportions.

We live in a dance music world that constantly cannibalizes itself. Since something that once was only a sound and a feeling, got named, re-named and categorized, it became easy to reference a time, a place or a movement in a record. But: if you wanna bake a great cake, you got to stick to the recipe. Alan Dixon’s La Danza EP follows that line very well. You get Italo-House waves that would make Irma and Calypso records proud, washing over you, arpeggiated disco bass lines, boogie swag and a beautiful ambient composition that makes you dance without beats. The London based debut for Running Back is at the same time joyous, carefree, smart, bold and bittersweet. Four tracks for almost every taste and definitely the icing on any dance cake. Extra special thanks to Toni Rossano. „

Bent is one of the most seminal 90s duos in all of electronic music. After more than a decade and a half out of the game, the quirky outfit is back and has a whole album's worth of new music ready to go.

As you'd expect, Crazy P layer in cosmic rays of melody while the ever excellent Nail goes for a rollin deep house version with ear worm pads and vocals. The Somethin' Sanctified mix is for when you head indoors and begin to get down on the 'floor.

Kartel is delighted to announce the release of the new 12" EP from enigmatic East London DJ, DrumTalk, a second high-profile Soundway outing to follow his recent flipside take of Lancelot Layne's classic, Carnival Drum Song.

Jamwax, in conjunction with Happy Milf Records, are proud to re-release the Nigerian boogie / synth-funk bomb, Hotline's 'You Are Mine'. This six-shooter packs no duds.

British flavor for this brand new 7" from Legofunk Records with
an impressive action! Poetry edit over the epic music…

As a New Era beckons globally, Manchester’s primo Manctalo merchants – Red Laser Records – quietly unveil their latest clutch of specialist space-age kinetics. A fifth-kind encounter enabling users to bridge the continuum of dance & interaction between our Earth-dwelling selves and the inter-dimensional overlords.

Containing three brand new movements in machine music from our treasured production stable of Kid Machine, Bob SwanS and Il Bosco; it also houses an honorary appearance from revered Danish spearhead Flemming Dalum, who serves up a particle-splitting redux of a lesser-known proto-techno nugget from Belgium. Dalum’s been traversing the star-clusters on his own intrepid missions for a while, so we’re mega buzzed to have him back on the RL mothership.

Stretford based synthesizer technician, Bob SwanS has been drafted in specifically by RL head Il Bosco for his advanced skills on the patch bays. “Aphelion Run Theme”, the point of which an object’s orbit is furthest from the Sun, vividly detailing in sound the journey our collective consciousness must undergo in order to reach the Highest Elders. We highly recommend utilising this track alongside Dr. Greer’s outstanding work with extra terrestrials.

KID Machine’s celebratory, vocoder-led Manctalo message: “It’s The K.I.D” is a sonic motif to our interplanetary relatives; this cybernetic b-boy’s way of spray painting the Red Laser logo over Proxima Centauri B’s subway network in neon-blue, pyroxene paint.

Bosco lets loose with one of his most impassioned creations to date too. “We Almost Lost Oddbins” previously titled: “Save Our Scene”, a universe-wide cry for help recorded when worldwide limitations on dancing and human co-exchange were at their most aggressive; its nonetheless positive outlook inviting us all to look both inward and outward for solutions in the New Normal.

Encased within a striking monolith art print, depicting the mystic energies of ancient galaxies it heralds the now widely-accepted belief that we are in no way alone in this universe and that channels of communication between more advanced civilisations than ours have already begun…

Classic funk / soul LP from 1977 repressed by Unidisc, Canada for 2021.

Soul Sugar drop their own reggae version of Marvin Gaye's "I Want You". French outfit Soul Sugar - the brainchild of Guillaume 'Gee' Metenier - deliver yet another soulful reggae 12', this time a cover version of Marvin Gaye's 1976 classic "I Want You". Jamaicain native Leonardo Carmichael sings lead vocals and legendary drums and bass duo Sly & Robbie add their flavor to the mix, with two versions on side B.
Marvin Gaye's single "I Want You" was a big step forward for his sound & vision and marked a change in direction - from hip Motown Soul to a more sultry, Disco sound. Marvin's vocals are notably intimate and the lyrics are more explicit, more personal. An original soul classic, "I Want You" is memorable for its unique combination of lush harmonies, a mesmerizing groove and the apparent sexiness of the theme itself.
Soul Sugar's Discomix version combines a smooth mixture of reggae, soul and funk over beefy bass lines, designed for heavyweight sound systems. Sly & Robbie, rhythm duo known for their studio work on countless reggae classics since the 1960s deliver their version, taking us back to the golden age of Reggae, the days when it was typical for Jamaican musicians to record their own versions of American soul tunes ... Ace producer Jahno dubs the mix live and direct to tape, from his very own ' N.O.F Studio'.

Last autumn Leng Records welcomed a new name to the roster, Greek DJ/producer Lex, via some warming and colourful tracks on the label’s 10th Anniversary LP and sampler EP. Now the Athenian has returned with his first full release for Paul Murphy and Simon Purnell’s popular imprint.



Real name Alex Andrikopoulos, Lex first rose to prominence in his home city of Athens when he ran the Radical Soundz record shop during the first decade of the millennium. More recently his reputation has spread worldwide thanks to his association with Leng, a recent 12” on B2 Recordings and DJ sets that frequently join the dots between disco, house and techno.



His first full EP for Leng is arguably his most musically expansive collection of tracks to date, with a swathe of guest players – keyboardist Artis Boriss and drummer/percussionist Harold Perez most prominently – swinging by to help bring Lex’s vivid musical visions to life.



For proof, check out lead cut ‘Punta Allen’, an eight-minute chunk of organic dancefloor goodness in which Lex and his musical associates layer steel pan style melodies, spacey synthesizer flourishes, eyes-closed electric piano solos, warming chords and jangling guitars atop a heady bass guitar line, unfussy drums and sweaty pots-and-pans percussion. The track’s effortless evolution, which slowly unfurls before rising towards a gorgeous and joyous conclusion, is testament to the Greek producer’s dancefloor instincts.



You’ll find more low-slung, dub disco-influenced bass on the exotic ‘The Jamail Pass’, where mazy and feverish organ solos and rolling hand percussion provide a platform for Paqua member Alex Searle’s Nile Rodgers style guitar sounds. The track’s inherent funk – emphasized by occasional bass guitar solos and fills, as well as some tumbling synth sounds – is apparent throughout the track, something that only adds to its smile-inducing allure.



Closing out a very impressive first EP on Leng is ‘Angels of Rhythm’, a hazier, faster and more intergalactic excursion that cannily combines the low-slung bass of dub disco with the intoxicating vibes and warming dreaminess of deep house. The track’s intoxicating late-night feel is partly due to an undecidedly cosmic spoken word vocal from sassy singer Harrier Summer, though Artis Boriss’ pitch-bend-sporting synth solos and fizzing electronic noises certainly help. Driving but also deep and groovy, ‘Angels of Rhythm’ offers a memorable conclusion to a very impressive EP.
