House Vinyl New Releases - News

David & Stephen Dewaele (aka Soulwax/2manydjs) have always been fascinated by collecting instruments and recording gear. Their passion hasn’t been born by completism: simply every new item inspires a world of possibilities. The one item that always eluded them was the EMS Synthi 100—a huge and rare analogue synthesizer, of which there were only 31 ever produced, that can create a near infinite array of sounds.

The album sounds simultaneously futuristic and retro as it highlights the versatility, uniqueness and warmth of the Synthi 100. Remarkably, a synthesizer that was first launched in 1971 continues to excel in 2020, aided only by patient restoration and fresh creative input. Each side of the vinyl features a long piece of music, each of which is divided into three movements. While they can be heard separately, David & Stephen urge people to listen to the entire experience from start to finish.

‘DEEWEE Sessions Vol.01’ is a highly collectible package featuring the album on heavyweight 180g vinyl along with a fully-illustrated 48-page book which explores the background behind the album and history of the Synthi 100. The book compiles a foreword from David & Stephen Dewaele; an introduction from 3030, the specific Synthi 100 unit that was used for the album; a history of its creation and an exploration of its sounds; and finally an interview with Ivan Schepers, the IPEM technician who has been 3030’s long-term custodian.

Fittingly, this tribute to such an elegant machine is presented in a beautiful style, art directed by Ill-Studio. The vinyl is held in a perforated ‘patch bay’ cover with a fully artworked inner sleeve, while both the disc and book are housed in a clear PVC bag.

‘EMS Synthi 100 - DEEWEE Sessions Vol.01’ will be released on May 29th with catalogue numbers DEEWEE034 / VF301. A digital version will also be available via download and streaming services and now available to pre-order from HERE.

This album was made with the kind assistance of and in collaboration with IPEM, Ghent.
Written, Recorded, Produced and Mixed at DEEWEE by David & Stephen Dewaele.

Contemporary Disco remix guru Moplen steps up to the Salsoul archive and turns in 2 absolutely stellar reworks of some solid evergreens. Always remixing and reworking with the utmost respect and understanding Moplen takes these classics into a new direction, working from the stems and retaining the funk, soul and grooves of the OG's. The disco mix market is a busy one these days with lots of people taking a shot at the classics in their bedrooms, but not these, these are legit, heavyweight mixes created by someone who knows! Candido's 'Jingo' sounds completely fresh, beginning with a totally unheard first few bars, rearranged piano motifs and dubby sounds bristle up against the percussion, all with an even heavier focus on the Cuban, Latin roots of Candido Camero's sound, amazing! You've heard this one before, but not like this. On the flip is First Choice's all-out anthem 'Let No Man Put Asunder' - again a truly original reimagining of a stone-cold classic, using the percussions and infamous vocal vamps to devastating effect, absolutely essential versions here. Moplen has truly done the business. This limited reissue has been made in conjunction with Above Board distribution and Salsoul Records, 100% sanctioned and lovingly re-presented for your dancing pleasure. This one is HOT. Sleep at your peril!

Tasty Brazil Disco Funk for the second Ufo Edits stryke.

Amigos, Hotmood are on fire and there are few people who can deny it. Disco de los Muertos fits the tongue-in-cheek ethos of Whiskey Disco by way of groovy bass, Rhodes and subtle spoken samples. Each of the four songs in this group will work the floor day and night.

More vinyl remixes from Psychemagik with the long awaited official 'Dancehall Days' remix sanctioned by Jack Hues from Wang Chung himself. Jack liked Psychemagiks re-edit of Dance Hall Days so much he contacted the duo and offered them the parts for an official remix.

The result is a monster dancefloor friendly beast that is true to the original edit but with some extra magik! 'Psychemagik stand out from the crowd with high production values and innate musicality. I usually find remixes tedious, but this takes you on some off-world journey - very cool.' Jack Hues (Wang Chung).

The Black Pearl is very proud to present a real 80´s futuristic proto club banger from the STRÖER Brothers, with lots of clubby remixes by buddies & friends. The original track "Night Falls" was only released on a very limited hand-spread promo 12inch, which was especially pressed for the Kunstdisko art-project for the 24th Olympic games in 1988 in Seoul / South-Korea. Together with the Goethe Institut they created the "Kunstdisco" project for germany, which was located at the Yoido Ankara Square and took part for the german Seoul Olympic Art Festival. The Ströer Brothers, who were responsible for the video & music sector, invided and encouraged 25 young german composers and producers (among of them was the young DJ West Bam) to produce new music for the Kunstdisco between Rap and new electronic club music from the end of the 80´s. The Ströer Brothers, together with Howard Fine & Nadeen Holloway, were presented  through many DJ´s who played their music that they espacially created for this event. Next to the in-house project Mudegg, the single audio tracks of "Night Falls" were givin to musical buddies like First Touch, Enzo Elia, DJ Rocca, Siggatunes and Manelet to remix them and Black Pearl is more than proud to present a great variety of remixes, styles and visons on the original track. 

Joey Negro pulls out all the stops as he presents a double dose of 90's House and Garage.

Belgium’s Krewcial takes the reins for the latest Riot Records release with a four tracker of gospel, soul and funk inspired disco house anthems.

Starting out as a beatmaker and MC in his late teens, Pascal Garnier has truly been here, there, everywhere and done it all. Now favouring the soulful sounds of nu disco and disco tinged house he’s released on the likes of BBE, GAMM, We Play House and Lumberjacks In Hell.

For ‘His Name EP' the A side is taken by two hands raised, gospel leaning house cuts readymade to bring elation to any floor they’re put before. The flip sees a soulful disco number sit side by side with a funk fuelled jam giving you four peak time cuts that ring the ‘All Killer, No Filler’ bell with complete confidence.

Heavy, heavy, heavyweight Boogie here from the legendary Salsoul catalogue!
The man - Leroy Burgess - with his frequent collaborator 'Red' Greg Carmichael turned in this insane 2 sider in 1981 ('Dancing into the stars' on the b-side!), both cuts just ooze that synthed out disco soul that Burgess is known for, super deep and with flawless production. Extended jams on both sides, tracks that go on and on in the best possible way! Simply put, this one's is an ESSENTIAL! Leroy's influence on House and Garage music should not be understated and it's records like this one that prove this over and over again!
Record's like this still get spin in the clubs, they still have people losing it on the dance-floor! Timeless dance music from one of the most legendary artists and labels in the game. This record is all about having fun, partying & losing yourself in the music, an essential classic that has stood the test of time for the last 30+ years & is now available again, legitimately remastered & repressed for 2017 in conjunction with Salsoul Records, NYC. You NEED this one!

Onda Nova is a new label brought to by hip-hop and boogie producers
Lordfunk (from Boogie Butt Records) & Moar (from Trad Vibe Records). With this new 7inch, they wanted to offer two top Brazilian Disco House tunes. “Corcovado” is a Deep Disco House tune for beach times under the sun. On the flip, you’ll find “Caminho”, a Disco Samba House track for party dancefloors. Moar & Lord Funk just added their touch of magic with respect to the original songs!

Beware: Schnitzels Cuts 4 in outer space! Coming back to you with laser-fried perfection, rebranded in a cosmic blend and revamped to deep space perfection.
Imagine a twist of Afro-synth history combined with a roller skate jam from the U s of A, re-rubbed with chopped vocals, disco bleeps and arpy baselines.

Now available at any intergalactic reseller for only '412457 space credits or an equivalent in your currency of choice.

Paxton Fettel embodies everything we're about at Kolour LTD. "Will it Berghain" is the culmination of a vision that was designed with paying homage to the reason(s) we all started doing what we do.

More from Kolour LTD in 2016.

The second instalment from a well known Brighton based record label sees Carbonara Tomkinson & Eintopf return alongside resident producers and label mates, breathing new life into unknown rarities.Vinyl only, as somethings in life, be it food, sex or music are better when they remain physical.

"Special edition Gold Pantone Sleeves" Moon Lovers is electronic journey through Nuovo Romantica much in the same vain as Dreamtime 002 Rev Thorn - Airport West. 10 selected atists from all corners of the planet, Sweden's Bobby Bricks starts the LP off with the Slow Mo Disco Meloncolic love song No Money, No Vacation. Venus Express II - Feel the Wave is next delivaring a Bouncy Piano driven bop. Song number 3 Paul Withey - This is what we hold on to, is a funk guitar driven vocoded groover to likes of Herbie Hancock, Daft Punk later works. The LP concludes with Peter Pearson's spaced romantic piano interlude, Come Closer.

Love Bite compiles the efforts of a cadre of talented DJs-cum-producers from across the globe for a selection of 4 songs each tailored for before, during and after peak time at your pool party or discotheque.

After presenting Detroit Swindle’s sophomore album High Life in 2018, we felt it was the right time to serve you up a tasty selection of remixes from all over the world and all over the sound palette. We’ve got some dub and boogie from Australia and the Netherlands, classic deephouse from Detroit, dark and dreamy deephouse from the UK and some high energy house from Germany. This set of remixes comes from 5 artists we hold in high regard and have made a serious impact on their part of the scene; some recently and some already a long time ago.

We invited Dutch techno -plot twist alert!- legend Steve Rachmad to come up with a re-interpretation of ‘Yes, no, maybe (feat. Tom Misch)’. His Sterac Electronics remix actually has nothing to do with techno but is an uplifting modern boogie version of the already funky original. Glimmering electronics, some added harmonics and a tight 80’s groove is what this version is all about.

The A2 is reserved for Cinthie, who took the high energy afro funk track ‘Call of the wild (feat. Jungle by Night)’ and turned it into a full on house frenzy with solo’s all around and a groove that just keeps on going and going.

The A side is completed with a remix by Jura Soundsystem, who has impressed many of us with his balaeric influenced synth-boogie, and dub on his own label ‘Isle of Jura’. Here, he chose to remix ‘High life (feat. Lorenz Rhode)’ and has done an excellent job in re-imagining the track into a tamed down, dreamy dub.

On the flip, there’s Matt Karmil’s take on one of the album’s beatless tracks ‘Ketama gold’. He goes in deep with some dusty drums and an arrangement that keeps on building and building, keeping the chord sequence from the track’s outro as a main loop and adding subtle FX, toms and acid hits and a final delivery where electronic cowbells up the energy level by a notch or two.

We finish off the compilation with a moody deephouse re-interpretation of ‘Ex machina’ by Detroit legend Gari Romalis. The twisted machine funk of the original is craftfully replaced by a dusty house loop, dreamy pads and smart usage of the original’s drum effects to build momentum.

This remix package brings a lovely new chapter into the story of ‘High Life’ and we hope you’ll enjoy these reworks as much as we do.
Yours Sincerely,

Maarten & Lars.

For our second foray into the House Of EFUNK we tap into the source, The Motor City, for a 5 track compilation of Detroit’s unsung heroes and up-and-comers. In true EFUNK fashion the music moves from soulful to funky, groovy to pumping.

On the A Side longtime P-Funk collaborator PiranhaHead (Mahogani, Moods & Grooves) brings in Abby B on vocals for the soulful, deep4life workout “Ebb & Flow”. Next up, two Detroit transplants living in LA, Visionquest’s Lee Curtiss and Steingold give us “Feed The Funk” a bassline driving, dancefloor bomb with a classic sample. Then the city's most prolific producer of the moment Javontte (NDATL, Sisturm) turns out a bubbling remix of Soul Clap’s Lonely C 2018 standout single Hold Up.

The B Side kicks off with edit master Pontchartrain (Whiskey Disco, Soul Clap Records) continues his move into strong originals with “Changes They Come”, a funked up, synthed out groove featuring Ian Fink on Keys. Fink rounds everything out with a funky, jazz influenced Detroit groove that shows off the keyboard skills that have him playing with everyone from Scott Grooves to Shigeto to Andrés.

Mr. G presents a record by one of his close allies; John Swing. Jazz Perceptions EP is a rhythm oriented record that showcases top notch productions, inventive sample selection and late night dance floor jams.

The next release on Heist is the result of some serious Instagram A&R by yours truly. Canada's number one jackin' house ambassador Demuir drops an EP loaded with that true house energy and it comes topped off with a swirling and twirling trip of a remix by Lady Blacktronika.

It's funny how good music sometimes falls in your lap. It was a random Instagram scrolling session with my mind switched off, when our insta-feed suddenly propelled into a sweet groove. I awoke from the matrix and realized I was looking at Demuir in his studio, who had recorded a little clip of a track he was working on. I immediately texted him and forced him to tell us what that was. His answer? A new unreleased tune by him. A coffee and 2 emails later, we received a mail with that track and a list of others to choose from. This ep is the result of that short online interaction and a mutual love for high energy house music. This record showcases Demuir's knack for rolling grooves and also shows a deeper, more electronic side of his that might surprise you.

The track we're talking about above is 'Werq. Feel. Gruv. Vogue.' A rough sounding, bumping house track that would have worked just as well in any club in the 90's as it will in today's world of clubbing. The 'Vogue' sample has that 'tongue in cheek'-vibe we like so much and the groove is just irresistible. Top that off with some lovely Rhodes loops, a little disco chop here and there and you've got yourself a very original party starter.

We always try to put out diverse EP's on Heist, and with 'the 3nity returneth', Demuir delivers a Detroit-tech inspired steam train of a track. The track represents the confidence an artist needs to make it in the music scene. He lays down the groove with a rough bass, rolling hats and a lovely string sample and adds glimmering electronics for a touch of spirituality.

The B-side has two versions of 'Philippine Sunrise'. The original is a rolling house track with airy synth hits, a Moog-ish rising lead and a freakishly good bass line. The remix comes courtesy of LA native, Berlin based Lady Blacktronika, who turns the trip factor up a notch or two. She chooses to go for a heads down direction with a series of dreamy loops to set the mood, all alongside an endless bassline and a steady house groove.

We hope you'll enjoy the electronic funk in this EP as much as we do.

Yours Sincerely,
Lars & Maarten

An original copy of the Brasileira LP by Brazilian singer Maria Rita Stumpf has been on top of collectors' and music lovers' wishlist for the past couple of years, since "Cântico Brasileiro No 3 (Kamaiurá)" broke out and cast a spell worldwide - from Japan to Brazil, from Norway to South Africa, everybody was flabbergasted after they first heard the song, and each and every time they heard it again. For the lucky ones that could listen to her whole album - and get to know other gems such as "Lamento Africano/Rictus" and "A Cidade"- it is clear that it is an ouvre that more people should have access to, not only an elite of listeners and connaisseurs.
The good news are that the LP will be available again in its entirety in a new, glossy, loud and clear pressing released through Selva Discos, a new label run by Augusto Olivani and Millos Kaiser (the DJ/production duo known as Selvagem) in partnership with JD Twitch's Optimo Music. It's a legit reissue overviewed by Maria Rita Stumpf herself, the music being remastered from the remaining DAT tape of the original release and artwork faithfully updated by Brazilian design studio Colletivo, featuring liner notes by the singer/songwriter.
Here's an extract from Augusto Olivani's and Millos Kaiser's (the duo behind the DJ/production unity Selvagem and also Selva Discos) sleeve notes about the Brasileira LP reissue and the label's launch -
'We were aware of the originality and rarity of this album since we put our hands on a copy of the Brasileira LP a few years ago, but it took time to learn that Maria Rita from 'Kamaiurá', the track that carried us away as soon as we first heard it, was the same Maria Rita with whom one of us knew since childhood. To reissue 'Brasileira' became a life mission. Also, it turned to be the seed that allowed Selva Discos to bloom.'
And another extract, taken from Maria Rita's recollection on the serendipity that triggered the this release -
'Many years passed until I got a call from a close friend saying that his son, whom I had known since childhood, was my fan. I found it funny... I was slowly returning to music after years of directing Antares, a company I created and that brought thousands of artists to Brazil. He was a DJ who played my songs at the Selvagem parties and as he said, did not know that I was me, the same Maria Rita who worked with his father. This was a plot twist, a movie thing.'
Maria Rita Stumpf is owner of Brazilian production company Antares Produções, responsible for bringing international artists to Brazil for the past 30 years, such as Philip Glass and Mikhail Baryshnikov. After distancing herself from the music business since the Brasileira original release, almost 30 years ago, she's now back in the game.
Augusto Olivani and Millos Kaiser have been working under the alias Selvagem for the past 5 years, standing by their monthly residencies in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, releasing edits and reworks for labels like Beats in Space, Disco Deviance and Disco Halal. Now they're also behind the label Selva Discos, whose mission is to unearth and update exquisite, overlooked Brazilian music - not without the aid of JD Twitch from Optimo Music.
The follow-up to this first release is a reworks 12" featuring a remake of "Cântico Brasileiro No 3 (Kamaiurá)" produced by Selvagem & Carrot Green (based on a new studio session with one of the original session musicians, Paulo Sergio dos Santos from Uakti) backed by a Joakim remix of "Lamento Africano/Rictus", to be released shortly after the Brasileira reissue.

New York's indie disco freaks Phenomenal Handclap Band is back with a second single on Toy Tonics: Jail. With remixes by Detroit's Waajeed and Marcel Vogel of Lumberjacks in Hell. Including a club edit by Toy Tonics head honcho Kapote. The band was responsible for one of Toy Tonics' biggest tracks in 2018: Judge Not: The Ray Mang version became a hit on open minded dancefloors around the globe: with support from DJ's like DJ Harvey, Cassius and Gilles Peterson (who put it int his - best track of the year' list) but also more house DJ's like Berlin's Keine Musik Crew, Soundstream or Superpitcher. The band's members are kind of heroes to many connoisseurs of the funk/ disco scene. The band leader Daniel Collas was playing keys in Amy Winehouse legendary backing band. Other members are connected to Mark Ronson's crew or San Francisco's Stones Throw universe.. just to give u the bigger picture. With The Phenomenal Handclap Band they blend the unique vibe of 1970ies Power-Soul in the traditon of Charles Stepney and Rotary Connection with today's new disco vibe. Parcels, Toro Y Moi, Roosevelt are not that far. Important fact: All played live, no samples. Mixed by the champs at DFA. The band is part of Toy Tonics's masterplan to expand their dancevibes into more live played scenarios.. stepping out of the strict DJ context. Fun fact Paul McCartney wrote the band a letter saying how much he loved their music when he first heard the band on BBC Radio 1.

For the uninitiated, good old disco music fever has (once again) taken over the dance
music world in recent years. And if you are looking for some rare & obscure grooves on
wax, your infamously enigmatic live electronic artist & Indian disco edit king Todh Teri has
got you covered for any dance-floor situation for this season. With Deep In India Volume 5,
he offers a unique vinyl tool for your collection that deftly interpolates 2 evergreen disco
gems from the South Indian silver screens.
Sampadan 14 is a rolling 303 disco work out, peppered with lush & summery vocals.
Sampadan 15 is a chunkier interpretation of the same by the equally mysterious Kone
Kone, built strictly for stereo wide dance moves. Sampadan 16 is an 80s breakdancing
groove bridged with classic 90s lush & wavy house beats. And Sampadan 17 pushes the
same chunky house madness further into peak time dance floor rambling business. Dance
music so ill... buy this copy to get your fill.

Joe Claussell joined the MUSHROOM HOUSE series! The New York City DJ and music originator made one of his rare remixes. For the Toy Tonics series. Claussell is a pioneer. Blending African and Brazilian rhythms with Disco and House since the early 1990ies. Inspiring the music world with his labels Spiritual Life Music and Ibadan records and with his legendary Body & Soul parties that he run for 6 years with Francois K and Danny Krivit in NYC. For Toy Tonics he remixed an obscure afro funk song by German Afro - Kraut Band Karl Hector & The Malcouns and Nicolas Tounga, singer from Burkina Faso. The original song was released on a limited 7 on Now Again records/ L.A. in 2008. Sold out for a long time. Claussell's remix is an amazing 11 minutes afrotechno jam. A great journey though styles. Also on this EP: Night Masquerade by Vito & Druzzi. Again: NYC guys. You might know the boys also for beeing part of The Rapture/ DFA. Since a few years they produce electronic music under the name of Vito & Druzzi. Part of New York's Throne of Blood crew. Some might remember their vocal contribution for Joakim's Bring Your Love. On their track for Toy Tonics they go tribal. Somewhere between Steve Reich inspired Gamelan pattern, smooth flowing over a 4/4 beat top by a nasty, 1970ies Funk synth solo that turns the whole track into a new direction. Third track is by Kapote, man behind Toy Tonics and owner of many great records with hot samples. His Besamo Fly is a 110 Bpm slow house jam - makes you think about Mexican beaches or Paris Filter House nights of the 1990ies..

Razor-N-Tape welcomes Chicago native Chrissy into the disco fold with an EP that gets down and dirty in all the right places.
As a journey through various underground dance sounds, this record covers some serious ground - from up-tempo space disco, to slow-chugging 70s R&B, and even an official edit of a Dance Mania housey freak-fest on Rag Tyme's Fix It Man. Jump on it!

In 2018 I landed in Amsterdam to start a Europe Tour. The venue could not find a hotel for me, so I asked Gilbert, who invited me to stay in his guest room. I felt at home when I saw what was on Gilbert's table/mind. The book 'Shantaram', a double reed flute photo, Saravah... (as a friend of Pierre Barouh, I had visited Saravah where I met Jacques Higelin in the 70s). Gilbert and I exchanged many ideas, and I invited him to record at my place in Australia. He did, and here is the result! I am thrilled that the words issued from my Head Voices are highlighted by the arrangements co-created with Gilbert - also the sheer genius of I:Cube to polish our gems has a lot to do with that!

Enjoy your listening experience!

One of the UK’s finest home grown talents are back with new music on their own label since the release of ‘Late Night Party Line’

The killer lead cut ‘Big Wig’ takes us all the way to the late-night discos of NYC and right back to Europe via London and Berlin. It’s richly melodic, sizzling with promise and packed with PBR goodness, and easily their biggest record since ‘Late Night Party Line’.

The remix from Donald Dust adds some classic New Order-esque club sheen but fully updates for contemporary floors, while ‘Shooting Star’ with its nod to F G T H, is an equally incisive club burner which puts PBR right back where they belong, in the middle of the dancefloor.

repressed !

The ever excellent MOTHER RECORDINGS serves up more club gold, this time from MARTIN WASLEWSKI. His CLOSER release features two tight tacks that prove he has a lush sense of house groove.
Waslewski is a German who grew up on hip hop and now having turned to house finds himself at home under the roof of labels such as Hommage, Monaberry and Heulsuse. All these playgrounds offer him a deserved platform where he never fails to come up with the goods, as is the case again here.

Up first here is CLOSER, six minutes of deep, feel good house music with romantic vocals and colourful chords. The beats are lazy and well swung and this one is perfect for summer parties and terraces this year. On the flip, COME TO ME is stripped back and more driving, with a tech edge to the beats. There is more great melody though, and some smeared synths that add a sense of scale and weight.

MONKEY SAFARI - Beach Martin ;-)
MAYA JANE COLES - Come To Me is my fav of the two, thanks!
DJ EASE / NIGHTMARES ON WAX - Good summer vies :-)
MIGUEL CAMPBELL - Full support mate!
LUNA CITY EXPRESS - closer is very nice! will play" thanks;-)
JOZIF - Come to me is the one here!!!
MAT.JOE - Go Martin, Closer Summer HIT!
TENSNAKE - Summer is here, timeless is great, thanks!
CRAZY P - Yep def taking these out at the weekend!
RICHY AHMED - nice disco vibes for summer!
GROOVE ARMADA - Sort of hard not to love really!
LARSE - Both tracks really cool, funky stuff! thx
JORIS VOORN - Summers´disco house!
RIVA STARR - Nice release, .. Thanks!

Salsoul Records are proud to present another crate digging anthology of jams that have been lovingly reworked, this time by mighty French mixer The Reflex!

A superbly selected and tweaked set of 4 tracks from the archives for the modern dancefloor is what's on offer here, ultra-loud pressing, remastered from the original sources and lovingly touched up by The Reflex. We have cuts from Loleatta Holloway, Skyy, Rafael Cameron and Candido. Some big names there, but you haven't heard them sound like this before. We all know by now that The Reflex goes the extra mile with his mixes, these are works of dancefloor art! One cannot underestimate the importance of these tracks on contemporary dance music, but the Funk is the most important thing here, amazing records to dance to that capture a time in NYC when clubs were places to be, sanctuaries of escapism, hedonism and expression.

All producers on this timeless EP known for their contribution to NuDisco/Deep House Music. 1 Life records has enlisted the services of top talents. Deep house veterans Mateo & Matos wrap drifting deep spheres, lilting electronics & warm synth rhodes chords around a chunky groove on his fine beat interpretation for a brighter & breezier deep house vibe on a remix that benefits greatly from a squeezable synth bassline & some undulating TB-303 style acid motifs, while Rune Lindbaek deliver with Frisvold a driving chunk of dub-disco/deep house fusion rich in sparkling synthesizer lines, sun-kissed chords & his own rubbery post-punk bass. Studio don Vincent Inc bring unforgettable impressions & inspiration for mind, body & soul together with his remix. 4 tracks came together to tell music stories about hypnotic deepest stuff, depression, happiness, loneliness, love, miracles & magical experiences

Salsoul opens the vaults once more to today's top editors and remixers. This incredible 12" sees Aussie legend Late Nite Tuff guy take the reigns. Side A boasts a monstrous filtered rework of Instant Funk's 'I Got My Mind Made Up' spread out across the whole side for maximum Disco impact. Flip it over to side B for some serious Tuff Guy reworkings of Orlando Riva Sound's 'Body To Body Boogie' & Salsoul Orchestra's 'Ooh I Love It', both nipped & tucked in the finest way, by a true school Disco head who knows what's up! Fully licensed, sanctioned and released by Above Board distribution and Salsoul Records, 2019. Accept no imitations!

THE definitive collection of one of dance music's most enduring and infamous left-field anthems, across 2 x 12"s and 1 x bonus 33rpm 7"!

The collaborative team of Arthur Russell and Steve D'Acquisto crafted some of the best wonky disco not disco cuts during their short lifespan and 'Is It All Over My Face' is one of their crowning glories. Collected here, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of this gloriously weird record, are all the best versions from then, and now. Even a quick dig in the archive yielded some treats with the male and female acapella appearing for the first time EVER, featuring on a specially 33rpm cut 7" alongside Larry Levan's promo 7" mixes. Also, the instrumental version has never been released before, but it is here for this very special limited package in it's full, unedited glory. This is one for the heads, an essential do-not-miss RSD special edition for those who are still 'love dancin' 4 decades later, housed in a classic special West End disco-bag. Don't sleep!

Produced in collaboration with Sony / Above Board distribution, 2020.

Skyrager presents the first in a series of dance floor edits designed for optimum peak set destruction!
'Beat Girl / Wonderful' is already generating heat on worldwide dance-floors in the skilled hands of crack selectors including Hunee, Lovefingers, Mark E and more.

'Beat Girl' is our A-side, a heavy, throbbing EBM monster... like something discovered on a long lost Belgian white label with it's sharp French femme-fatale monologue and nagging acid bass-line. Trust us, this one sounds ultra-heavy on the system! Things get a little 'sexual' about halfway through and then those guitars kick in, yes, GUITARS, scuzzed out, fuzzed out chords run rampant over this beast and you're gonna love it. This is that sleaze, put your phone away, pick up the amyl and JACK.

'Wonderful' is just that, a ridiculously rare South African (!) cover of Italo overlords Klein & MBO's cut of the same name. There shouldn't be much more to say here, but you should know that it's a stellar combo of hypnotic drum machine rhythms, mind melting synth bass-lines and super dreamy spoken word vocals. It's almost as if she's speaking directly to you as you lose yourself in the smoke and lazers, let go, you know you want to...

Limited information on this release, it contains two super edits that have been heavily road tested on a certain soundsytem that is currently doing the rounds. Not much information beyond that but the music speaks for itself. Slow mo with energy. More soon

For their sixth release London based record label and clubnight Snap, Crackle & Pop return with another slice of the post punk and kraut influenced electro/techno sounds that are coming to define the label. The latest release comes from Niv Ast and it serves as a follow up to his appearence on this summers Relish compilation. The EP leads with an ice cold slab of post punk swagger in the form of Quebec / Makolet which gets the remix treatment from previous collaborators Khidja, the Romanian duo strip the percussion back for the dancefloor and tease out the track's darker side with more than a hint of acidic malevolence. For the B-Side Disco Monroe offers a nostalgic slice of pitched down French Electro undoubtedly influence by the Djs recent residencies in Paris. Optimo Music's Mr TC rounds off the EP with his unmistakably left field vision to give the track a dark tropical re-imagining.

The Hong Kong based Homesick team are back with their yearly release of quality reworks that has made the label sought after since their first release back in 2014.
For the 8th opus they're going back to their Disco roots and have worked with Cocktail D'Amore regular "Trent" for four edits that have been thoroughly tried on Asia's dance floors for the past two years.

Welcome to our 2nd EP of Original tracks from 12tree's new label, Hot Piroski. The label is a boisterous mix of Space Disco, Deep Funk edits and Balearic Beats.
