House Vinyl New Releases - News

A stone-cold classic from the Yellow Productions catalogue, Freeform Five, aka Anu Pillai, revisits his 2003 project with NYC vocalist Carolyn Harding, refreshing their collaborative release ‘Strength’ for 2020. The vinyl package features remixes by two of the Glitterbox camp, with The Shapeshifters opening the A-Side with his signature funk-laden grooves, before Anu’s Freeform Reform mesmerizes with ethereal strings and lush instrumentation. On the flip, Razor N Tape founder and Brooklyn legend JKriv delivers his remix, providing NYC grooves that perfectly compliment Carolyn Harding’s spellbinding vocal. Finally, Anu provides the Freeform Instrumental, an essential club tool that illustrates the glorious melodies that give ‘Strength’ its timeless quality. Freeform Five and this team of musicians, remixers and Carolyn Harding’s indelible vocals, make this a release destined for Glitterbox dancefloors and beyond.

Originally released in 2017, and in anticipation of his new album dropping this summer, we have re-issued islandman’s ‘Rest in Space LP’ This version has the same tracklisting, but comes in lovely yellow coloured vinyl.

Istanbul-based Tolga Büyük started his solo project Islandman in 2010 and has already built quite a name for himself with a slew of self-released EPs & albums. Already prominent in Istanbul's psychedelic scene as part of live-performance band Farfara, as Islandman he builds his unique style off the rich history of Turkey's psychedelic rock movement, taking it further in his own direction.

The Anatolian tradition of fusing the country's folk music with Western influences has produced a unique legacy of sound, as evident by the discographies of Erkin Koray and Baris Manco for instance, with the guitar long the sound weapon of choice. So too for Islandman, but apart from mastering this instrument quite eloquently, he also orchestrates it into a new and different context than merely providing hippie nostalgia. By re-framing the murky and somewhat dusty Anatolian psychedelic sound with a cool Mediterranean vibe and a very Balearic-friendly production, Islandman's music is the next step in the progression of Anatolian music.

Two South African mastercuts by the legendary Senyaka Kekana. The unexpected deep house jam "Bayanyonyoba (1993)" and the illustrious soul song "Don't Judge Me Bad (1987)" are big RH favorites. Original copies are absolutely impossible to find, now released on 12inch for the first time.
Esa Williams - "I had the pleasure of performing alongside Senyaka at the Alexander Theatre, Johannesburg back in 2012 which would have probably been his last most iconic gig before his passing in 2015. These two tracks really showcase the sounds of South Africa around the early to late 80's, the influences from American synth pop and House that would then lead later into many of these records being played at the wrong speed which ultimately became the original Kwaito sound from South Africa." Kwaito is not just a form of house music, it's also about the way South Africans dress, talk and dance. The lifestyle took shape in Soweto and gained popularity throughout the cities and townships of South Africa during the nineties. In the backdrop of a transforming South Africa, this slow, loud and striking form of house music emerged just before Nelson Mandela took office as the first democratically elected president of South Africa. Kwaai meaning hot, kicking - kwaito is a style in which the sung, rapped and shouted lyrics played a prominent part to mobilise the youth and push for change.The late Senyaka's 1987 album Fuquza (Dance) was years ahead of its time and gave rise to his reputation as a forerunner of the kwaito sound. The album includes "Don't Judge Me Bad" as well as "African Rap" and "Go Away". Later, in 1993, with South Africa on the cusp of democracy and the kwaito movement about to explode into the mainstream, Senyaka cemented his position with the release of his landmark album Ma-Gents, which included the song 'Bayanyonyoba'.Regarded as one of the first African rappers, this pioneering artist was best known for his eccentric, controversial lyrics - delivered with a bold and at times funny approach that endeared him to many fans. Outside music, Senyaka also grew in popularity thanks to his roles as an actor, including in the popular homegrown film Moruti wa Tsotsi and the television comedy Ashifa Shabba. The emblematic artist successfully reinvented himself during his career, which led to divergent works. Senyaka's versatile character shines through in this release as well. 'Bayanyonyoba' is a soulful, loud but dreamy South African house gem, whilst 'Don't Judge Me Bad' is a more introverted electronic soul song.

Future Disco, pioneers in bringing 21st century disco to the dancefloors, returns with its highly anticipated latest edition, A Disco Fantasy, on 27th April.

Inspired by the unparalleled flamboyant expressionism that the original Disco era captured so perfectly, A Disco Fantasy, takes listeners on a dazzling journey of House and Disco with exclusive cuts from club veter-ans Louie Vega and Greg Wilson, as well as exclusive edits from Future Disco themselves. The album also showcases some of the genre's best new talent with Young Marco, Johannes Albert, Lovers and COEO all featuring across the uniquely crafted seventeen track mix.

A Disco Fantasy delivers the soundtrack that makes clubbers' dreams a reality. Picture scenes of the al-most mythical Studio 54 where club-goers lost themselves in the music, the movement, the lights and the moment. Horses roamed, sexual expression was free and celebrities danced amongst a crowd that was dressed for the catwalk. Disco was always about fantasy and still is today. Future Disco's - A Disco Fantasy captures this uninhibited spirit that was so electrifying and continues to be to this day.

Kraak & Smaak - Keep It Together, kicks off the album with an uplifting, pacey track that delivers a classic disco synth and bassline to match. Amp Fiddler - Steppin' (Future Disco Piano Edit) ramps up the mix with a classic 90's piano, along with the euphoric Sylvester - Dance (Disco Heat) (Louie Vega Re-touch Edit) and pumping Delphi - Blue Tuesday. Get lost in the moment with Ten Ven - Turn It Up and experience those sun rise spine tingles with Pale Blue - You Stopped Dying.

“Soul is My Salvation is a collection of dance friendly gospel songs. The mission is to simply uplift your spirit through music and word. Dance floor’s around the world mirror the reactions of Churches from the 70’s and 80’s when experiencing these recordings.” - Tone B. Nimble.

Released as a series of eight limited vinyl-only 45, when assembled together the covers reveal a beautiful design courtesy of designer Charlotte McCrae. A true collectors item.

Chapter 3 features The Gospel Truth - He Can Do It, a rare cut that barely has a trace online, on the flip you’ll find the instrumental version of McKinley Sandifer’s I Am The Vine, another tough and under the radar tune.

the mega album with the hits "starlight, family business & diamonds for her" !!!

Midnight City head honcho, Vincenco De Bull comes correct for his second outing and first EP on Whiskey Disco.
4 Kicks ep is to the brim with 4 late-90s vibe, feel good disco treats a la Studio 45 meets Knee Deep. On the A side 'Champ 1' let's loose with those summery feel good guitar riffs and soulful vocals before 'In Love' transports you to Tokyo for a dreamy synth laden, love song boogie.Flip it and you're hit with an uptempo groover, fizzing with an unbridled energy, squelchy synths and feisty licks under the name 'Goodbye Ketan'. Closing the e.p. out 'That Same Old Feeling' is an endlessly building, looped up pot of disco grooves and stirring vocals.
A quadruple shot of Whiskey Disco, ready to set you right for the weekend.

From his roots in early italo disco , a sound that inspired him since his childhood, this mysterious producer comes out with a genuine gem of pure balearic and disco mood, among the use of real hardware and various instruments creating this classic extended disco version that sounds in an actual disco edit style, even if the song is brand new.
Leading the voice is The Huge, a magical voice and multi instrumentalist from Italy: the combo between the two is explosive, mellow and at the same time light and pure.

We’re proud to introduce “Afroderrick EP” by Voodoo Sound Club, the brand new 12” release on Mondo Groove. Afroderrick is a storming afrobeat track with special guest legendary italian trumpeter Roy Paci that originally came out on Guglielmo Pagnozzi’s Voodoo Sound Club project’s debut CD album on Cinedelic Records, “Same”, on 2011. The track became kind of a cult during the years with many DJ’s asking for a vinyl version. And here it is, in its full glory, the original itself opening the B side, followed by a solid breakbeat “Voodoo Strange Fruit Remix” by Detox, with the A side massive with another couple of interpretations, an euphoric house “Fresco Remix” done by Leo “Fresco” Beccafichi, DJ and producer and collaborator of Italian popstar Jovanotti, and another remix this time in trippy Afro style by heroes Daniele Baldelli and Marco Dionigi. You can’t miss this!

In the final chapter of the 'Theory of Flo' story, we've enlisted the services of the mighty DJ Sotofett to remix the closing track 'For Mihaly', and what a job he's done! Dark, weird and percussive - just how we like it. We also include brand new versions featuring occasional live drummer, Laurie Pitt and a reprise with Poppy Ackroyd.

Elbee Bad is another great underground house pioneer from the formative days of NYC house in the late eighties. His body of work now gets compiled on Rush Hour Recordings.
Like the Burrell Brothers, Elbee Bad aka Lamont Booker, is an early house producer from New York City. And the comparison doesn't stop there, Elbee Bad has also recorded under different aliases and has also remained largely unknown to a wider audience. He has also recorded for Nu Groove Records, for which he has recorded his most famous material, but like the Burrell's he wasn't a Nu Groove fixture. Bad recorded for a slew of other independent New York house labels like Bassment, City Limits, Easy Street, Red Heat, United States Of America and then there was his own LaRhon Records.

Almost 25 years have past since his first release, yet 'The True Story Of House Music' is the first time Bad's catalog gets compiled for re-release. Although the best and most prolific part of his catalog is his late 80's and early 90's output, Booker never stopped producing (and dj'ing). He is currently residing in Berlin, from which he still manages his studio and travels throughout Europe to DJ.

Prior to the compilation we release a vinyl only sampler which features two exclusive and previously unreleased mixes of two tracks which are to be found on his only solo Nu Groove EP, from which we took the title of this compilation.

This is another winner from the true history of house music.

Canoe's 10th release is a limited edition sampler for record store day featuring two of Nyra's most widely supported releases, 'On & On' and 'Love Safari', plus the unreleased 'Take Me To The Water' made especially to celebrate the label's 10th release.

'NO SPLASHING POOLSIDE'

Released 13th April exclusively for Record Store Day

After only a tiny time-out Cómeme can't help but remain restless and return even more internationalist than before, since this EP brings together artists from Moscow, Medellin and Cologne, as well as guests from Spain. It's a collection of tracks that translate Cómeme's ever quintessential voltage into different musical temperaments, drawing the bow from infectious semi-electronic body music and cumbia-inspired rhythm affairs to detached pitch-frenzied sequence-disco and a sphinx creature with fanfares and whiplashes.

Boogie Café enlist the expertise of Goshawk & Erik Rico to provide the goodness for the next instalment in their Boogie Café Black series. The Home e.p. houses four versions of the title track with side A serving up a piano vibe mix, alongside a dub mix for good measure. The Vibe mix layers a bassy, bumping piano line & Erik's RnB flavoured vocals behind a shuffling beat before a soulful flute line takes centre stage. On a slightly different tip the dub mix drops the flute in favour of echoed out stabs for a sparser and tougher aesthetic, readymade for the dancefloor.
Flip it over and the percussion vibe mix adds in some choice congas and bongos, combined with sustained organ-style synths and jazzy piano chords, creating a more summertime soul style to the track. The fourth and final dub mix sees Goshawk use Erik's vocals in short but sweet snippets, adding extra atmosphere to the track but allowing the piano and percussion to lead the way.

Nikolajev is a Tallinn, Estonia based producer, DJ, half of Dima-Disk with Ragnar Rahouja and co-founder of the club Kauplus Aasia and the now legendary Lekker before that.

His 'LEL' EP on Incienso is a diverse four tracker containing many moods and styles - All recorded live in single takes. From the Devo-meets-Deep-Disco shuffle of 'Plasticine', to 'Left', a song from an alternate universe where 80's movies were scored by Bunker Records - and the sweeping ambient passages that bookend them, 'Lumipoly' and '12 AM Monday' - This is an EP filled raw emotion, for raw people,
everywhere.

STAR CREATURE's first single of 2017 starts with a hot 2 sider. 2 Slamming peak hour floor fillers. These lean more on the Chicago
Boogie Vibes than his previous work which is why STAR CREATURE was quick to grab them. Modern RnB at it's finest. Live drums, bass, keys with excellent vocals.

Latest in line to lend their expertise to El Diablo's Social Club's evergreen edit arm are Italian Stallions DJ Rocca and N2B, who the hot jocks and disco dancers may remember from To Rack & Ruin Vol. 6. The sleeve may have changed but the menu stays the same; nothing but prime cuts and seasoned sides to savour under flashing lights and starry skies. Taking the controls in tandem, Rocca and Nic cast the net wide and dig deep to serve up four courses of dub disco and proto-house delight.

West-End Classic Repress! Vocal- and dub Versions of this 1982 Stone-Cold Classic! Re-issued in Conjunction with West-End- and Verse Music.

The next instalment of the Slow Motion Soundtracks Serie, this time from Pordenone's Alessandro Parisi.Interested in esoteric and religious texts, this comes across loud and clear in his stunning, ethereal E.P Andromeda, which at turns send shivers down your spine and expands your mind.Having released on the likes of Giallo Disco and Charlois, this is Alessandro's first release on Slow Motion.

This release has 2 tracks from Dawn Again & Rothmans. Rothmans Ant runs vinyl only Rothmans label from Liverpool and Dawn Again who has releases on wonder stories and porn wax as well as Ant's Rothmans imprint.Nazare is a Balearic house which has been left on the slo cooker all day.. With a nagging baseline and lush pads a plenty. Max Essa takes us on a moody Balearic tropical ride for his remix.Walpole is another slice of Balearic house with a throbbing bassline and trips arms. This time the remix picks up the pace a little for a more dance floor, Norwegian Disco-esque groove from EDSC's very own Neil Diablo.

The last shall be first one day, we will rise. We´re kicking off 2019 with our seventh record by HDSN. The rising soul brother could be expected to be on your list after some slaying records for NBAST, achieving sell outs in our entire catalogue last year. Now he´s back with lots of fantastic material to choose from starting off with a four-tracker that's striking for its undeniably catchy dancefloor-driven cuts. NBASTWAX007 is hard to categorize - you may wanna say it's deep, but honestly, this record is more than that, it´s a story telling master piece reflecting memories from captured moments in time. Show Me The Way' is our go-to track, but the others aren't sleepers. Mellow samples, 909-fueled drums and pondering vocals translating the complexity of the soul. It's the sort of EP that perfectly encapsulates all that's great about this endlessly eclectic producer, touching your mind in an emotional deep way - hard, haunting and timeless. A must-have record to properly understand the creator behind #datsoulthang. Grab your copy

Toby Tobias has been at the coalface of the British leftfield house movement for many years now, releasing, without fuss or fanfare, on an array of fine releases for labels such as ESP Institute, Delusions Of Grandeur, Rekids and many more.

Tobias opens up Futureboogie’s 2020 account with ‘Trippy Steve’, a trio of spaced out dance cuts, which come complete with a remix from Fantastic Man. ‘Trippy Steve’ blends energetic and raw disco rhythms with wide eyed and transcendental deepness, a powerful dubwise bassline that really drives the energy here. Australia’s Fantastic Man (Superconcious Records), keep’s the proceedings
lively on his remix here, a rasping b-line and rolling beats thrust forward at a pace, dubbing out the vocal samples and opening up the bass for some wiggy acid business.

‘Cosmic Slang’ charmingly chugs with reverb soaked piano chords and ascending synths, whilst ‘Deo Mort’ is loose and carefree, with a myriad of classic samples cropping up amongst fragmented beats and a cap doffed towards the Sheffield bleep sound of old.

All tracks remastered by Dom Scuteri.

More new members in the Toy Tonics family: JOEL HOLMES & CODY CURRIE joined the Berlin crew. They will release a couple of EPs.

You might know Joel Holmes: American jazz pianist and keyboard player who has been member of Roy Hargrove’s legendary Grammy nominated band, but also is part of Carl Craig’s synthesizer ensemble. Joel is living in Berlin now, where he is involved in the new vibrant Neo-Jazz scene. (Yes! Berlin used to be a Techno city, but it’s becoming kind of a Jazz town now!)
In Berlin Joel throws monthly jam sessions (the Urban Base Jam) where the creme de la creme of Berlin ex-pad jazz musicians meet up. Americans, Europeans... Crazy things can happen here. Like when Erykah Badu played Berlin in 2019 and her complete band came to jam at Joel’s session after their gig.

Joel now takes the next step: he teamed up with Cody Currie: 24 year old London born talent, who already made some waves in the house scene. Cody is known as a stylized producer, with a unique recognisable sound. Much of his craft was owned in studying a bachelors in music in London. His most known work by now might be a jazzy reinvention of ‘Devils Shoestring’ with over half a million plays on SC and YT. With his new works Cody is coming away from sampling, working only with live instrumentation.

Joel & Cody both live in Berlin now where they met Toy Tonics head honcho Mathias „Kapote“ Modica. And when they met there was a vibe. All three have their roots in jazz music share similar ideas about how dance-music should evolve and could sound in 2020. (In fact Kapote Modica studied jazz piano, too and has been playing in bands before getting into electronic music)

Joel & Cody are working in a great Berlin basement studio, at Cody’s home. Working on a new way of combining jazz-funk with real musicianship, MPC grooves and live instruments to get a new, fresh approach on dance music. And there will be a lot coming up in the next years

Marcella:
I don't really remember - I only thought that I sounded like a 8 years old kid a bit out of tune with italian accent.

Jeffrey Sfire:
Sfire 1 was the incarnation of Sfire. I met Sophie at a Motherland show in 2008 (Sophie and Marcella's berlin based band). I suggested she make a dance version of a song they played and she asked me to come to the studio to help produce it. She had heard me djing many times and was a fan. We became good friends and made a few more tracks along the years. we hope to make more soon.
As for me I've been a dj since i was 16. Grew up in Detroit. Fell in love with underground 80's music (house italo freestyle) and have been djing regularly since.

Futureboogie unearth more dancefloor magic with next signing The White Lamp and their first single 'It's You' - a perfect rendering of electronic soul for 2012. World-class talent Ron Basejam of Crazy P fame and the unstoppable Eats Everything with Futureboogie staple Christophe provide the remixes. Not even we know who the Producer and DJ are for this release on FB however they are both stars in their own right and have come together as The White Lamp.

A Producer & DJ from London and a Musician & Vocalist from Bristol have joined their creative forces to create The White Lamp. A project for the soul & for the dance floor, expect several high calibre releases throughout 2012.

Opening track 'In The B' kicks off proceedings in no uncertain fashion. It's 100% wall shaker material, the type of techno music best paired with strobe lights and towering speaker stacks. It mesmerises with its low-slung undulating bassline and Detroit rhythms before giving way to some riotous old school Essex stabs and sharp claps. No messing, this is a certified 3 AM red light burner! Track 2 'Chocolate Biscuit' accelerates proceedings! Beginning with unfussy drums and a robotic, bleep-heavy melody driving it off into a wonderfully off-kilter direction. Its arpreggio'd rhythms may be brutish and wrestle a growling sense of menace out of the track, but the overall feel, however, suggests considerable care and attention has been paid to make it sound this way. There's clearly an uncommon musicality at play here to make something this complex feel so simple.
The BPM drops next on 'Jenny's Hall' but from the offset, there's enough funk and thrust in the motorised synth line to get bodies gently grooving without the beauty getting lost in the slower loop. This is blissed out, psychotropic techno - the kind of track where it feels like you're floating and falling at the same time, but all the while making sure you still remain fit for purpose on the dancefloor. Ian Blevins takes on remix duties this time and the Berlin-based DJ/producer offers up a sleek peak-time banger that fizzes, bubbles and percolates. He gives the rhythm on 'Jenny's Hall' less space to swing and ties it to a tight motorik beat turning it into a slice of shiny, modern techno but with extra shoulder-checking force. Its vibe drawing from a sense of outsider-party fun with a wry smile, and a knowing wink running throughout before bringing the package to a suitably left of field crescendo.

Jeremy Campbell and R. Zanzibar return as Out 2 with their debut full length, Showcase. Following their recent Moving EP, the duo expand their mix of New York off-kilter pop lyrical poetics riding over percussive desk-dub funk grooves.

After collaborating on releases for Lectric Sands and L.I.E.S (Zoovox and Locks & DDM) the Brooklyn team dug deep in the studio to create 6 vocals and their dub versions in a true 'showcase' style.

With that, after its appearance in longer 'discomix' form, the album starts with the original version of Moving. Just under 3 minutes of hectic New York funk - chop guitar, punch bass and blasting horn jump ups. Rolling straight to the Version, Campbell's mixing desk skills let it all hang out and back. Snares rattle, hats ride, bass in and out, a voice rightly interjects "...are we moving".

Sliding in to Dancing, the tryptamines start to flow and skip atop a steppas beat. The "raps", dubs and fx weave their way in to your subconscious as electrons whirl in a warm psychedelic fuzz. This is further exemplified in side closer, Pale Fens. The improvised vocals fit seamlessly among the beats, bass and guitar haze. As the skin, lips, eyes, pull you in, the Version takes it deep. Sole guitar solo and the rest rides from the desk. Perry, Bovell, Sherwood. The beauty in the space between is the essence of music itself.

Side 2 starts with a crowning gem, Some Air's Red There. Flute rides a hook that is simplicity in its ingenuity. Zanzibar in his wayward element "...she said I had the wrong rhythm". By now ears twisted to what the Version brings, the laidback vibes, with wind solo, drift to an Upstate/White Isle summer's day that is long remembered.

Don't Stop comes on as a No NYC love paean. Congas, rhythm guitar and impro' lyrical flow, contorting bass, flange, flange, flange. "Run all day, we don't stop". Version just glides and glides. Finally, to close, Run is the lazy finale dub (master)piece. A simple Jammy's style riddim; a midi-funk groove. It swings low alongside lyrical imaginings, encapsulating Out 2's place in the New York firmament, where disco, punk, hip hop were and are very much fellows with the often overlooked, but amazing dub reggae that has been produced in the city for decades.
