House Vinyl New Releases - News

Dj & Producer Les Inferno is back with another triple header Disco Funk delight.

Athens of the North's first foray into releasing house records (with more on the way) may come as a surprise to some but not to people who've heard them DJ. Dirty Channels vs Danny Russell 'Watchin' Out' is a horn-fuelled lesson in peak time energy; working a relentless groove before dropping into a hook that you'll be hearing a lot of this Summer.

It's already gained plaudits, left,right and centre, including house single of the month in the July issue of Mixmag and DJ support from Jeremy Underground, Dan Shake, Josh Wink, DJ Haus, Jimpster, Jaques Renault, DJ Boring, Nyra (Canoe Recordings), Jimmy Rouge (Orange Tree Edits) and Red Rack'em.

On the flip, Bristol born and Edinburgh based, Linkwood of Firecracker fame presents a tasteful edit of Frazelle 'Today Is The Day', chopping up the rare 12" instrumental with the rarer 7" vocal version into a spanking definitive 12" inch mix for maximum dance floor satisfaction.

Good Block return with a second EP of original productions following the success of the '4 Corners EP’ released in 2019. Their sound continues to evolve and mutate, exploring the use of organic instruments, otherworldly samples and synth heavy themes. Delving into more sonically dense ideas, Good Block distil their wide-ranging musical taste down to its essence in the form of the 'Aquaculture EP'. Limited to 300 copies, with full cover artwork by the duo, and pressed on clear vinyl.

Full colour picture sleeve - officially licensed and remastered 12 inch reissue. Seen as one of the sparks that ignited the bridge between the Brit-Funk and UK Disco styles, Touchdown's 'Ease Your Mind' is a British classic from back in '81.

Released on the iconic, influential and original UK dance music label Record Shack from the minds of Jeff Weston and Northern Soul, Blackpool Mecca and Wigan casino DJ/Promoter/icon, Ian Levine.

Part 2 of the TO2C collection featuring FOUK, Frank Booker, Vincenzo de Bull & Soul of Habib. Pressed on Black Vinyl housed in a Manila Sleeve.

With a string of chart hits and countless underground favourites to his name, Vito Lucente is one of Europe’s essential house names. From the international cross-over hit ‘Make Luv’ produced under his Room 5 moniker, his Junior Jack alias allowed him to explore a much clubbier sound. Releasing a number of Defected catalogue essentials including ‘Thrill Me’ and ‘E Samba’ as Junior Jack, his joyous vocal cut ‘Hold Me Up’ has been the only time Vito has used the aptly named Glory project, featuring the unmistakable vocals of Jocelyn Brown. Released originally in 2003, this hugely popular track now appears on a special 12” package from Defected with remixes from some of the label’s nearest and dearest. Opening with Riva Starr’s fiercely funky Tangerine Funk Vocal Mix, Full Intention’s Michael Gray follows up with his own joyous, piano-laden remix. On the flip, Vito’s JJ Vocal Mix places Jocelyn’s flawless, uplifting top-line centre stage, before Defected’s favourite Dutchman Ferreck Dawn closes out the package with his club-ready version.

Banoffee Pies Records 16th Original Series release comes via a 4 track Split EP collaboration between Kincaid, and Zenzizenz, the ambient moniker of techno producer Viers. After a long year behind us, and likely ahead, this record takes a temporary step into the calm and adds reflection to the blurred months that passed.

The release is a collection of textural bumps and melodies opening with Kincaid's 9 minute "Slow Stumble Home" - an aptly titled down tempo trip through a confused space, layered with composition, like a Playstation home screen theme on Mushrooms. Calm follows with two tracks from Zenzizenz - "Returning From Home", a steady meditation through rumbling sounds soon shift to a new mood on the B side. "Falling Off" offers a more lethargic wandering mood through the marshland before BP016 comes to it's close with "Single Cell", the 2nd Kincaid track, which concludes with a chaptered 4x4 structure and slow bursts of energy within. Time to absorb. Love BP x

Clandestine Boogie are back, enlisting Omsk's Sunner Soul to provide the goods for their third release. The title track 'Voyager 84' sets the scene perfectly drawing you in with dreamy swelling synths, fizzing hats, and chunky hits alongside choice lo-fi vocal snippets & cosmic top lines - smooth as you like!
Kim and Buran then steer things on a funkier flex with their take on 'Voyager 84'. Staccato guitars laid over the top of a heavy bassline, succulent pads and spacey keys provide an intergalactic disco journey with you strapped in the front seat.
On the flip side Sunner Soul team up with fellow Russian producer, Scruscru. 'Spring Mood' picks up the tempo working bouncing arps and wobbly synths behind a thumping rhythm - a killer slice of disco tinged house as we move into those sunshine months. Closing out the e.p. it's peak time, boogie laden, blissful goodness in the form of 'Joy'. Funk-fueled guitar licks, an instantly catchy melody and the perfect amount of effects to enhance those build ups and break downs lay the foundations for a sure fire summer hit!

Al Kent strikes again with a soulful, goosebumps inducing beauty that's finding favour with more discerning DJs. From those who like it deep to the disco dons, this one's got them all hooked.

HDSN has a style all his own, but his disco tingled, futuristic, groovy sound evolved from the likes of Paul Johnson or Armand Van Helden who played around with old records using samplers and drum machines in the 90s, when House Music was mostly an underground phenomenon that could only be heard at nightclubs or through homemade DJ mixes. So it´s hardly surprising that his latest EP sounds like it was straight out of this golden era - with “Whiplash" he delivers one of the best records to hit the market yet, pure vibes and so ecstatic through out the course of all four tracks that are outstanding. HDSN is the best at holding you in a groove, keeping you there using chopped samples, and forward moving drum patterns like sweeping sensations. NBASTWAX009 hits all the right buttons, taking you on a journey and we promise it works every time, anywhere to anyone like pure magic! Tracks like these are the reason we are so excited about this era - they have the quality to tell a story but are far from boring - music that feels natural & alive. Records like this don’t grow old like us … rather, every time you hear them they take you back their time. Grab ya copy

There is great excitement in the kingdom of Monaberry. Hordes of Vulcans have invaded the human territory, and Grandpa Herbert needs a vast amount of ore to forge enough chocolate marshmallows to enable his army to withstand this threat. Anyone who does not obey the law is sent to the huge penal colony of Khorinis in these dark times to mine the ore needed.



The entire area known as "The Colony" is surrounded by a magical boundary; an area with a diameter of two kilometres, which completely seals the penal colony from the rest of the world. The border can be crossed from outside to inside, but once inside you can never escape again. The border became a double-edged sword however, because the prisoners saw an opportunity for revolt. The colony was now divided into four groups, and the king was forced to make a trade for his ore, rather than simply claim it. Each group sent its best artist and was forced to present the king the most important piece of music. For the blue group came Super Flu and brought Trombarossa. From the pink group Viktor Talking Machine was sent and presented Lars. Bar.ba came from the black group and served Rain. The green group sent Dorian Craft and Baron, and were the last to arrive with Azur.



You are thrown across the border in the middle of this prison. You will have your back to the wall, you will have to try to survive and form volatile alliances until you can escape at the end. And only these 4 tracks can help you.

The popular song by indie disco producer LUXXURY and fellow LA duo Scavenger Hunt (recently released by Future Disco as the lead single from the London tastemaker's recent Poolside Sounds compilation) finally gets a limited vinyl 12" with several roof party friendly mixes. Includes LUXXURY's own rework of the song, along with an instrumental that emphasizes the sunny live bass, percussion and Sade-esque guitar parts; plus a deliciously chill remix from impakt spotlighting the vocals that give this sultry duet so much swagger.

ALEX FRANKEL from the American synthpop duo Holy Ghosts!, is now going solo after signing with DFA records. Hoping for clubs to re-open, Still got it is an anthem for those who wish to party again! A pure Disco track filled with energetic beat drums and a catchy vocoder.French DJ Breakbot is joining the dance with two club remixes. Choices from Canada is delivering a piano & hand clap remix for big Summer festivals. This record is a call for hope. We still share a love for dancefloors, hope you do too!

Over the years, the sonic world of Heist has grown into a place where energetic house, live instruments and worldly electronics move together in the most natural way. We're very proud of the fact that we can showcase artists that cross boundaries or simply create their own universe, while keeping a strong connection with the identity of the label.

Our next release, the 'Exposures EP' by Teleseen, fits perfectly into this aesthetic. Teleseen is the main project of nomadic DJ, producer and multi-instrumentalist Gabriel Cyr and draws influence from deep house, afro house, samba, batucada as well as the experimentalism and sound system cultures of his home town NYC. His sound leans heavily on polyrhythmic programming and he's nothing short of a synth wizard. His 'Exposures EP' features 3 originals, and a remix by Berlin based Italian house guru Black Loops.

The record features a number of collaborators and recordings of various instruments, ranging from percussive sections to synths and guitar. This live approach to electronic music is one that is deeply rooted into Gabriel's work. His upcoming release on Soundway as 'Thaba' is another good example of this approach and also shows how diverse his sounds really is.

The title track is a thrilling synth affair with tribal-like chants running through a vocoder. The combination of handclaps, crunchy synths and steady drums make for a thrilling afro house track that hints towards early motor city electronics.

Black Loops is known for his deep grooves and built his fame with his releases on Freerange, Pets and Shall not Fade. His take on 'Exposures' sees him upping the tempo to a pacey 130 bpm, where an introvert vibe of reverbed hits and bleeps take you into full dream mode. He expertly chops up the original into a contemporary track that fits somewhere between high tempo tech-house and minimalistic deephouse.

On the flip we get to hear more of the sonic world Teleseen has to offer. 'Dekalb' is a track that seems impossible to box into a genre. Its mood is set by a lovely section of free-flowing Rhodes chords and the chopped vocals and open synth- bass give the track a whole new feel. It is that ballsy electronic edge combined with dreamy textures and live rhythms that give 'Dekalb' its unique vibe.

The final track of the EP -'Transfer'- takes us down to a mid-tempo percussive workout with a balearic twist. The steady electronic groove and the free flowing guitar take you to yet another corner of Teleseen's beautifully crafted universe.

Enjoy the music and play it loud!

Yours Sincerely,
Lars & Maarten

The MUSHROOM HOUSE compilation is a collection of balearic, afro and cosmic tracks that have been released on Toy Tonics EPs over the last 5 years. Original tracks and remixes by friends of the label: Auntie Flo, Rebolledo, Hyenah, Daniel Avery, WhoMadeWho & DJ Koze, Munk … and there is also legendary italian cosmic DJ Baldelli featured.
All these tracks are exclusively produced for Toy Tonics. A few had been already released before on Gomma records. The now sleeping indie-electronica label that was the „mother“ of Toy Tonics. It’s fun to see that these tracks seem not to get old. They sound still fresh and ace. Like the DJ Koze remix of WhoMadeWho or Munk’s Nigerian Jam. Now they all come together on double vinyl. Vinyl comes Including the new 60 page TOY TONICS MAGAZINE no 1.

Whiskey Pickle returns with yet another 12" of eclectic leftfield deepness, this time around from prolific Italian producer DJ Rocca.

The first cut off the record 'Detox' is reminiscent of the early 80’s electronic sound with nice mellow synths and a clever breakbeat. The next track is the title cut 'Tropicale 17' a lovely arpeggiated bell laden jam that sounds something like Kraftwerk lost in the Japanese wilderness.

Side B is dedicated to the epic twelve plus minute 'Chicken Lips Malfunction' Chicken Lips remix of 'Tropicale 17'. This is the jam that got those fowl fellas (Andy Meecham & Dean Meredith) back in the studio and boy was it worth it!

Many vinyl enthusiasts come in many forms and there are collectors of 12”s, Albums and 7”s. We here at Vega Records and Above Board enjoy creating 45s that have a timeless appeal within the art and layout as well the music. For the Eclipse Elements Of Life project we enlisted New York City art Veteran Erni Vales who has worked with likes of David LaChappelle, Mariah Carey (Butterfly Project) and many more. The art reflects the music bringing forth songs about what’s needed today, a time of rapid change and growth internally and externally.

The 7” double pack consists of 4 tracks, one per side so you get the best in sound quality, every song is breathing and pulsating. “Stand On The Word”, a Paradise Garage, Zanzibar, Loft Classic has always been a favorite for the Elements Of Life Band, having performed it live in London at the Southbank Centre along with their guests The London House Music Choir. The studio recording stayed true to the original Joubert Singers version and brings gospel music in dance form to the forefront. “Hot Music”, with the blessing of house music veteran classic producer Pal Joey, Elements Of Life digs into the classic house / club sound of New York City with scats and backgrounds, a new touch to the track added by Grammy Award Winner, Lisa Fischer. “Pastime Paradise” the Steve Wonder classic is retouched by Elements Of Life with Josh Milan singing lead, and the music bringing forth the latin New York City groove, inspired by the recordings of the Greats Tito Puente, Charlie Palmieri, & Ray Barretto.

The final track “Berimbau”, Elements Of Life digs into the Brazilian Funk sounds with leads Josh Milan and Lisa Fischer. Brazilian Music whether funk, jazz, samba, or bossanova, Elements Of Life have always been inspired by and have a true love for Brazilian sounds.

We hope you enjoy this timeless 7” vinyl double pack of classic remakes by Elements Of Life, play it loud and proud!!

Quiet Force were the German duo of producer Thilo T.C. Rex and multi-instrumentalist Stephan Töteberg. Signed to Klaus Schulze`s Innovative Communications in the late 1980s, they produced four albums for the pioneering electronic imprint. They also released two singles on Italian label Les Folies Art, co-produced by Sergio Pisano. Mind Fair have licensed one of these to their reissue arm, Rogue Cat Resounds.
To try to describe Listen To The Music (For Love And Emotions) I`d ask you to imagine an Italo remake / remodel of Art Of Noise`s Moments In Love. Slightly “danced-up”. Sporting Max Headroom Fairlight stutters, and fretless bass flourishes. Synthesized strings, glissando and pizzicato. Mediterranean reeds and surf. Peppered with a lover`s laughter and ecstatic shouts. It could quite easily have been a template for The Grid`s Flotation. It`s definitely something for you file next to Dancing Fantasy in your Cafe Del Mar collection.

It's been a while since Rampa aimed for collective affection, providing "The Touch". His current "Sunday" EP, counting as the Keinemusik catalogue number KM045, somehow continues this sort of sonic caress.

During the 1970s and 80s, the city of Boston and its environs produced some of the era's most iconic music stars, from rock megaliths like Aerosmith and The Cars to disco and soul celebutantes Donna Summer, New Edition and Tavares. These artists emerged from Beantown's thriving underground music scene to fnd global success, but what about the countless contemporaries who never made it beyond the local circuit Native DJ, producer and bass player Serge Gamesbourg began digging in the crates for forgotten gems more than two decades ago; emerging in 2018 with his frst BBE compilation, lovingly titled Boston Goes Disco! 'I wanted to shed light on more obscure & unknown disco & boogie records outta Boston and the surrounding areas; basically small label and privately pressed late 70s and early 80s dance music from Massachusetts.' Turning detective as he began to track down many an obscure artist to license music for the album, Gamesbourg often found Boston's legendary Berklee College of Music to be the common denominator for many bands throughout the years. 'A lot of these cats came here real young to study from various parts of the country, met the other band members and wrote music and performed locally before fnishing their studies and moving on.' With artwork paying homage to 80's rap compilation 'Boston Goes Def', Boston Goes Disco! provides an exciting insight into the city during its most culturally fertile period, uncovering a rich musical history previously only known to those who were there.

Another deep house gem from the peerless Italian Stallion. Dreamy pads and catchy solos are some of his trademarks. Single sided cracker in limited edition. Purest and finest old school is here.

It’s been a busy eight months since Dampé’s debut on Dirt Crew Recordings. That time has seen the producer hold down monthly slots on Rinse FM, contribute a downtempo electronica/jazz edit to the S3A ‘Pages Remixes” EP as well as open big rooms for the likes of Surgeon and Blawan.

The intervening months have also seen the producer set up camp in the Rhythm Section studio in South East London, and the result of new access to studio gear can be heard all across ‘Garden’. Compared to the debut ‘Peach Shuffle’ this is a far more machine-led and darker listening experience. Snatches of acoustic instruments and space remain, but it’s never long before the disembodied vocals and oversaturated classic drum kits return reminding you this is music best enjoyed in the club.

‘A Basement, 10 Years Ago’ started just there. A bass line dimly recalled from a long-lost 6am jam is sequenced on a weighty analogue keyboard, while syrupy R&B vocals dance around mbira and gangsa, all slowly building and building together. ‘727 and Arp Breaks’ is a love letter to two of the producer’s favourite instruments from the studio. A TR-727 and an Arp Odyssey collide across dubbed out stabs to form some very rolling breaks.
Sunday Night Machines’ sees Dampé tame the box-of-physics that is the Arp Odyssey again with a sprawling meditation on two repeating arpeggios.

‘Garden’ is the one for the dancers. Four variations play with the same melodic theme in distinct sections, with the second variation being the deepest and most floor-ready the whole record gets. ‘France’ is a warped dub-come-hip hop beat that manages to conjure both Lil Jon and Yusef Lateef. We approached Liverpool’s finest ASOK (Lobster Theremin, M>O>S Delsin) for remix duties and to close out the record with a twisted bang. He turned in a propelling weapon that brings a whole new texture to the track listing. It’s very 90’s, very ravey and very raw, in a true IDM style.

With this eclectic mix of sounds we are entering another chapter of the Dirt Crew story and we hope you dig it as much as we do!

It's game time ladies and gents - and our next release is here. To celebrate the eighth record, we have a special white label affair coming up from none other than HDSN, who passionately ripped the heart and soul out of three new tracks once again. Woven together with organic, electronic textures but also displaying an undoubted soulful quality, The Game represents a sound that is born out of a deep love and appreciation for the music.


Indeed, the title track is definitely the peak time bomb on the record. The track is wrapped up in a kicking groove, powerful drums, a driving baseline and nice looped vocals - all combined to make for a sure crowd-mover, which is gonna throw any crowd into an uncontrollable frenzy as soon as the deep bass and soulful sounds blast through the speakers. “The Power” really encompasses what house music is all about: it's a feeling of unity, no matter your race or sexuality. It’s pure positivity, with its roots in gospel and soul.


The hypnotizing Rhodes line and the blistering vocals provide the listener with a real chance to rediscover the lightheartedness lost in the chaos of modern life. Positive and infectious, this one is impossible not to love. Elegant in its simplicity, it's pure and (unlike much contemporary music), not overproduced. “The G-Code” can best be described as one big trip down memory lane, an anthem the hood danced to in the past. A tune that pulls no punches, it is packed with heavy swung beats and deep and sleazy rap samples, a move which grants the release an undoubted hip-hop swagger. A limited edition release, HDSN's latest iOS definitely one worth cherishing.

The Italian Duo Club Paradiso coming from diverse and ever-evolving music backgrounds, they started their collaborative project in 2016. Romagna, Adriatic Riviera, is what they call home and also the primal inspiration behind Club Paradiso. Their first album “Esotica Erotica Psicotica” is out on april 26th on Mondo Groove with Kompakt distribution, follow up to the acclaimed 2017 single Panoramica, and is a wonderful patchwork of colours. Opener Romagna Tropicale transports Riviera to a tropical island, Tuco mixes arpeggiating lines with a western harmonica and a distant spoken, Solo tu with the voice of Francesca Amati is a sensual, slo-mo synth-pop beauty, and Echoes a throbbing deep house number. The B-side opens with Flauto Cosmico, a killer Afro/Cosmic track with a folky flute, Okinawa has the voice of Niconote aka the legendary Nicoletta Magalotti of Violet Eves fame and it’s simply a memorable song with an eastern vibe in the music, La Rabbia Saudita, with a special Daniele Baldelli & Marco Dionigi featuring, is half part Arabic and half part funky, and the closing track, Mirage, is, yes, like a mirage. You can’t miss this.

Four years after releasing 'Exotic Jazz Impressions From Hungary' Budabeats Records proudly presents another exciting selection of some long forgotten and rare pieces of Hungarian popular music.

This time their focus is on the non-existing soul scene of 70's Hungary, which, however produced a handful of gems that could have been released anywhere in the world and had not disappointed any soul head of the era.
Zsuzsa Cserhati was one of the many tragic figures of Hungarian pop history: a celebrated singer who could never use all her potential because of some shady characters of the monopolistic music industry obstructing her carrier. Her two cuts featured on this 10" are the most interesting ones she ever recorded.
'Puha Sohajok' is a sensual but tight soul tune, no other title could describe it better than 'Soft Sighs'. The producers of her second track on here, 'Ne Nezz a Napba' probably had a thing for 'Les Fleur' by Charles Stepney and Minnie Riperton but hey, who could blame them?

'Harangzugas' is the sole side Aniko Baliko ever recorded but what a song it is!
Mellow mid-tempo soul with a slight disco feeling, unmistakably cool.

Kati Bontovics has been a renowned singer in Hungary since the early 70's known mostly for her jazz tinged works, both on her own and with many different acts.
'Holnap Megallnak az Orak’ is a groovy orchestral soul tune which we would be right to call a paraphrase of one of the most well-known standards of the genre.
Originally all four songs were released on very limited domestic 7" singles only now all of them being obscure and sought after even in Hungary.
This is your chance to get them on a strictly limited (300 hand-numbered copies worldwide) 10" single including a one-page colour book insert so you can pimp up your copy individually.

"Disco Fashion" is certainly one of the rarest, obscure and mysterious record ever produced in Italy. At the same time one of the most experimental and psychedelic recording mixed in a classic disco style. The author is unknown; his name doesn't tell us anything or anyone we can associate to him. The musicians were most probably turnists (amazing turnists I mean) with fantasy names. The name "Electric Machine" was used only for this project as far as we know, as well as for the label. The founder of the publishing company who licensed the reissue passed away and the family carrying on the business is not aware of any stories behind this project. What better occasion to loose yourself to the listening of this incredible find

Up next on Sundries, SNDRS004, Flawsome by G. Markus, a funky and soulful disco inspired release with music for all occasions.

Kicking things off is the titular track Flawsome, a groovy, stomping, disco-house belter with an unforgettable bassline, dreamy synth strings, and a vocal hook that’s hard to resist!

Next up is Jackfruit, a slightly more chilled out and soulful number featuring luscious keys and a silky-smooth bassline. Perfect for warming up the crowd or winding down at the after party.

Turning over onto the B side is Toxic Masculinity Must Die: a super funky and freaky disco infused joyride of a track. With an emphatic disco beat, this one is sure to get the party moving!

Finally, we have I See You, Mara, a sumptuous blend of old and new, with disco rhythms and bass riffs seamlessly integrated with synth arpeggios and housey organ melodies. The perfect way to end any disco-house set.

The follow up from BUTCHERED01 (Go Up) Exclusively played by Jackmaster, Seth Troxler, Ricardo Villalobos , San Proper
Vinyl Only Release!

Sidney Charles's Heavy House Society keeps up the momentum after a head turning first EP with a second sizzler, this time from Bodeler with a remix from Russian talent Tripmastaz.

Argentina's Bodeler mixes up minimal, house, funk and deepness on labels like Sintope and Unique Trax. He is a master of driving club grooves with real atmosphere and proves that here.

Mandatory Trip is the single and has a slick, bobbling bassline that burrows deep as jazzy hi hats spin up top and sci-fi motifs peel off the groove. It is a tripped out tune of the highest order, and really hits hard.

Hailing from an industrial region known as the Detroit of Russia and releasing on Cocoon, Minus and Desolat, Tripmastaz is a contemporary giant. His remix breaks up the beats, injects some funk and raw percussive energy and takes you on a real dance floor adventure.

This is another fantastic EP that perfectly lives up to Heavy House Society's mission of serving up physical tracks for the floor.

We come back with a fresh single “Nowhere In Milano” by Dumming Dum featuring Rush Midnight. The 21st release in the label catalogue brings the original composition together with three remixes from Alex Schaufel, Rafael Cerato and Justin Cholewski.

Dumming Dum together with Rush Midnight has become the members of the Runemark family with their debut “Three Pills Into A Fist”.
This time the tasty original “Nowhere In Milano” created by Dumming Dum and Rush Midnight maintains deep and cozy characteristics yet also keeps it groovy and tight for the dance floors.
Amazing and full of energy remix from Alex Shaufel delivers the great feeling of togetherness blurring the boundaries between Nu Disco and energetic House music.
Rafael Cerato’s remix grabs it from the start. Uplifting, powerful and charismatic. Acidic and aggressive bass line, confident beats and massive synths pushes the levels of House and Techno.
The last but not least remix in the package comes from Justin Cholewski. Raw, unstoppable with a taste of trippiness is the signature of Justin. Technological and machinery resound overlayed with creamy vocals from Rush Midnight fulfills the whole release.

“Nowhere In Milano” is available in both physical vinyl and digital formats. Enjoy the music!

Runemark team.

Originally released in 1999 this release has been fully re created for 2016. Released in conjunction with West End.

Second release from Label head Mouhcine Zouitina commonly Known as Polyswitch. Casablanca’s finest returns for a second release with six songs spanning over the spectrum’s most vivid junctions. « FEVERISH CUTS VOL.2 » flaunts a strong funk connection merging with an uplifting rhythmic activity under a jazzy atmosphere. This continuum endorses the first volume with an ensemble of afro-diasporic and free flowing sonic slices.

After the infamous success of our first vinyl release from label owner Romain FX, played by some of the biggest names in the game: Move D, Skatebard, Oliver Hafenbauer, Gene Farris, Horse Meat Disco, Joris Voorn...

We've decided to have the EP remixed by a collection of maestros from all the spectrum of music.
With Lauer (Running Back/Permanent Vacation) on duty for the title track, Mr. Ho (Klasse Wrecks) from Hong Kong on Ke Ai, Warehouse Preservation Society (Mercury Rising / DJ Harvey) from Los Angeles on Fray and young up and coming Singaporean producer Bongomann (Darker Than Wax) on Air House. Needless to say, this one has a track for everyone, from nostalgic emotional vibes to club bangers, to dubby goodness and Italian influenced dream house beats, take your pick!

Höga Nord Rekords proudly presents Birds from London. Birds or Katie Wilkinson is relatively new as a producer but has been DJ-ing and playing in bands for the last nine years, marinating herself in interesting underground music. This 7”, Transcendental Phases/Tunnel Vision is her first release on Höga Nord Rekords.

Birds is a declaration of love to electronic music and psychedelia. The vocals in Tunnel Vision bares traces from the psychedelic pioneers of the 60’s – Think Roky Erikson with a Roland 303! Birds’ music is powerful and monotonous and she creates a dirty, warm and monumental soundscape. The production is airy and dynamic

Wilkinson mean that “we must try and find harmony in what we have and try and aim towards something positive, despite the fact that we live in a society that’s been completed fucked via the selfish behaviour of others (and most probably, ourselves at times).” With Brexit and the new wave of racism, spreading over Europe Birds makes music for a generation left with little hope but with the desire for something too long for.

New mutant offshoot from the Talking Drums crew...
You know how it goes at the after party, over indulge and you end up hogging the conversation. So, in the interest of better dancefloor discourse allow us to present Drum Chums, a new series of edits by percussion pals from across the globe.

This inaugural edition comes from our good buddy Basso, a Hamburg homie whose digging expertise is rivalled only by his scalpel skills and superb silliness.
Dipping into the darkest corners of his ever-Growing Bins, Basso shines up a quartet of rediscovered delights for an edit EP which oozes grooves and off balance moves.

On an uptempo A-side, the German luxuriates in the spectral arps, glistening licks and uplifting chords of fusion boogie winner 'Do Stay For Breakfast', before serving the steamy, sultry and seductive vampire disco jam 'Soft Choppers'
Things take a turn for the Balearic on the B-side thanks to the Afro-tropical pop of 'Simple Stroll', all electroid bass, chugging percussion and playful guitar, and finally the cosmic cool of 'Breaking Bread', a spaced out bossa for heads and feet.

Germany’s Jacob Groening is one of those hard to pin down artists working within the space of organic dance music. As a live performer and hybrid DJ, Jacob somehow manages to infuse everything from gypsy to jazz, blues to soul, with distinctly electronic elements. Never one to settle for anything less than unique, his gentle touch and international influences create music that is both sweet and powerful. This sound has already been felt across the likes of Bar 25, teyoyoke, Delicieuse Musique, and his own Kamai Music imprint, and now Jacob
provides the 4th instalment on Amsterdam’s The Gardens of Babylon eponymous label. Jacob’s Leslie Ep is a three-track excursion, Inspired by travels yet constructed in quarantine. It is a testament to the connective power of music through uncertain times, where some dancefloors may be empty, but hearts and minds remain full. Until we meet again, let Jacob’s playful and pulsating Ep satisfy those Communal urges with a journey through sound and culture. Starting this journey, its title track gently swells throughout with subtle chants and hypnotic percussion. Kabir then kicks things up a notch, Bouncing between its own pulsating rhythm and powerful chord progressions. Finally, Iguazu draws direct inspiration from Jacob’s travels through India during times before the world changed. With field audio and local musicians interjected throughout its explorative atmosphere, Iguazu is the perfect representation of Jacob’s distinct style: gentle, shifting, and cultural. If you know The Gardens of Babylon, you know Jacob Groening. His sets from The Dunes of Babylon and ADE’s The Seekers of Light have placed him firmly within family status. Now, with Leslie Ep Jacob Groening joins Geju with his own solo release on the label.

We kick off 7’s Clash as we mean to continue, keeping things concise with 4-5 minute chunky chuggers made for the more laidback dancefloors and kitchen DJ sessions.

Disco Dub wizard Pete Herbert delivers a bottom heavy edit of an old classic, and on the flip we get a wonky slice of pan-asian exotica in a dub-chug style with shaman poetry and vintage balearico show tunes added for extra garnish.
