House Vinyl New Releases - News

Having delivered two outstanding EPs and a landmark triple compilation, Portugal's Pluie/Noir now returns with its first full-length album. Assigned with the enviable task is
enigmatic German producer The Marx Trukker, who has thus far kept us on our toes with a string of high-quality EPs on a handful of respected independent imprints.
With a natural affinity for experimental soundscapes that challenge dancefloors, Pluie/Noir offers the perfect platform for him to really express himself.

As much a palette of textures as it is a dance-focused collection of tracks, Couldn't See Too Clear For Edges is a kaleidoscopic and utterly transfixing listen all the way through.

The very first track, Alongside ashortside' (A1) is infused with the sort of jazzy, impulsive flavours that are part of the album - and the label's - DNA. But the tempos ebb and flow, at
times withdrawing all intensity ( The Gin Bay Hoss Ballad' (A2)), before cascading into tightly compressed microhouse rhythms ( A Kind Shaped Mind' (A3)) and other more
expansive 4x4 examinations: Couldn't See Too Clear for Edges (Two Movements)' (B1),
As Rivers Stand' (C1). Regardless of the occasionally dramatic shifts, the album never
once loses its focus. Minor Belongings' (C3) is arguably the album's finest creation in
terms of a true artistic indulgence. Dreamy and deeply absorbing, it feeds into the album's
powerful finale, Blaue Drift' (D1), which is one of the more aggressive works on show here.
As we've come to expect, Pluie/Noir again challenges what can be achieved within the parameters of dance music by empowering its carefully selected repertoire of artists.
As standard, the album will come as a limited pressing, this time around of transparent green vinyl, with a beautiful hand-drawn black and white artwork cover, ensuring this is as collectible
as it is listenable.o

Pretty Bouncy is a sub-label from Love & Loops Records.
In this new adventure we are focused on something we describe like Micro-Bumping-Groovy-Housy-Music.

The first V.A includes music from Prodot, Miguel Puente, Agus Ferreyra & Trentz and label owner Ale Castro.

New York's DJ Torture drops a lo-fi acid work out on OS XXX fresh from his limited cassette drop on SWAMP TAPES.. wunderkind Bakground holds it down on the flip with 2 lo fi jungle jams.

Düve is a very mysterious project, probably due to the intense (albeit exotic) eastern folk instrumentation that populate their sonic structures. René Audiard & Ali Çakir have been exploring a bit of it all from crunchy techno grooves to emotionally charged slow drives, and
together they managed to create a very peculiar sonic balance that captivates from the moment it passes our ears.

Düve's Hargate' is a four-part voyage through the intricate musical roots, complex poli-rhythms and warm musicality of the eastern mediterranean lands. 'Esti' (A1) starts the EP in pure instrumental glory. Played by Adam Birson, the melody from the Oud is loud,
ethereal and emotionally charged, topped with sparkles of modulated synth patterns and pulsing noises for full meditative effect. The EP's title track 'Hargate' (A2) is soaked in a sort of nostalgia for sun-bathed Turkish soils, but under it there's a ever-moving train of
remarkable rhythmic endulgence and a very human sense of groove. A tour-de-force in balance between musicality and arrangement that stays with you like fata morgana.
The flip-side goes deeper and darker in ambience. While 'Yek Tas' (B1) feels like a 4-by-4 hichhicker's guide through underground Istanbul and built around the tension and release
of drum-echoes and reverberized pads, 'Sehayat' (B2) brings back the sound (and emotion)
of Ali's darbuka/santur and Soren's complex drum arrangements for a slow, dreamy drive.
This EP was visually interpreted by Juli Jah in a hand-made artistic depiction of Istanbul,
extraordinarily fitting to this installment of an ever strengthening series of releases Pluie/Noir
collectors grew accustomed to. Limited Pressing.
Japan: the land of the rising sun and one of the worlds biggest havens for creative,
forward-thinking musical freedom. Masters of a infinite number of stripped down, funk
infused brands of electronic music, the japanese crews of music makers are usually teams
of noble perfectionists.
Consistently shining a bright guiding light on the japanese scene, Radiq (aka Yoshihiro
Hanno) remains one of Japans best exports and the reflection of what it means to be a true
musician while managing his own japan-talent-only imprint Op.Disc with wit and will.
Rhapsody' adds to the chameleon's release catalog a 4-tracker of deep musicality, expansive
4x4 examinations and textured realms that ebb and flow between dance-focused sonatas and the
kaleidoscopic intimate travels, and ultimately begging a listen all the way through. The title
track 'Rhapsody' (A) is Yoshihiro's signature exploration of humanized rhyrhms, crisp claps
and deep low-ends that ebb and flow with a very peculiar organic steadiness. Circulatory
Breathes' (B) uses micro-house patterns as starting point to build something more intricate
where robotic movements remain constantly intertwined with amoebic perc-samples, vocal
snippets, groove swings and jazzy synths. Clocking at 14 minutes, the dreamy and deeply
absorbing Antigone' (C) is the EP's longest work, and a true hypnotic anthem that works
like a musical vortex. Radiq's artistic indulgence culminates with Sad Strings' (D), the
EP's jazziest exploration around heavy drum programming and dramatic mood shifts.
The double EP was visually interpreted by Max Binski in a heavily textured acrylic painting,
giving this release the visual perk Pluie/Noir collectors grew accustomed to. Limited Pressings.

Proud to announce the first vinyl-only release of Rythmē, the Turin queer party made with the effort of all of his lovers and dancers. The A-side opens with “Tomorrowasteland”, an open question about the dancefloor of tomorrow – a dystopic stomper with ready-made and punk attitude. Hard Ton served a luscious waterfall of synths on their original take of Fabrizio Modonese Palumbo’s song while Matteo Coffetti “Kelakitun’s Pipe” explore an exotic imaginary with an Indian touch.

The fourth Dubgestion vinyl is ready.
Here to warm our souls is the Romanian artist Zgaav,
who offers us 3 original cuts with a minimalistic mystic imprint.
To tie this piece of art together there will be a melodic bliss remix by Pierre C.

Savor’s 2021 first release has the Uruguayan wonder girl, Ema Remedi. On this EP she provides us to 2 tracks with her signature sound. ‘Virazon’ is one of her biggest tracks up to date and definitely a dancefloor smasher, while ‘Nothing Tolouse’ is a subtle and hypnotic roller. On remix duties we have Voigtmann, who reworked ‘Virazon’ adding his typical eerie touch while maintaining the dancefloor energy intact.

Not to rest on their debut’s laurels DFR02 is just as hot pairing up Rome’s Massimo Berardi and Mexico’s The Funk District who both turn in stellar edits. Hot out of the blocks Massimo goes to town on The Truckin' Company’s ‘Got The Feeling’ the result is a deep and hypnotic yet thoroughly funky mid set smash, a track which will lock the dancefloor in to perfection. Combining a huge vocal chorus with some brilliantly hooky synths this is a track that will see Shazam called into regular use. Over on the flip The Funk District in top form on the edit of Izk Eyes. Titled ‘Ton of Groove’ this might be one of the most apt song names of the year so far. Huge brass, monster vocal, ass shakin’ guitar it’s should have peak time etched next to the track name on the label.

Iranian artists matter!

DeepnosiS’ very first release has been developed by the Sardinian producer Hubble that, with his intriguing sounds and personality, purely represents the essence of the label. The EP opens up with a journey outside the borders of reality where “Antidote” recreates an engaging soundscape of surprises. Side B continues with slower rhythms introducing “Samply Perc” a trippy and almost palpable track. Finally, deep atmosphere pads in “Ozone” flow into a progressive ride of percussions developing into a downtempo techno concept.

Curtea Veche's LTD series is back with this sublime EP by Wareika's Jakob Seidensticker, Minibar's George Boronas and Shyam Anand, known collectively as Mothership. 4 mesmerizing tracks which all have their time and place, One of our favourite Ep's to date here at curtea veche, The Ep is finished off with stunning artwork by Halo Varga @ Authentic paper

A thirst for all things alien encompasses the philosophy behind Sex Tapes From Mars - a brand-new vinyl-only imprint demanding humans to take them to their leader. So, two questions: who’s helming the record stores, and what message are they trying to deliver? For their inaugural release, the label beams down a VA from three impeccable rising stars intent on supplying some much-needed freakishness to Earth.

Nemo Vachez sets the bearings for outer space with ‘Overload (Interstellar Rave Mix)’ – a sulking electro and acid intro that rambles with all the madness of a spaceship determined to veer off-course. It’s imaginatively paced, with scorning breakdowns and a lethal sense of some threat sitting on the horizon.

Muelsa loads up a biological weapon of warfare with ‘A Message’, aptly named largely for its ruthless electro lines and a drawling voice asking for the answer to an age-old dilemma: “Please tell me it’s aliens? Maybe they’ve got rhythm too”.

The signal glitches to Hubz for the close. ‘Fly By The Comets’ reverberates with great waves of synths before lunging into the first of two menacing drops, riffing and warring against some unseen force before exterminating the target.

Wherever this UFO’s destination is set, all eyes are clearly watching. Sex Tapes From Mars delivers emotionally ambiguous cinematics for the dancefloor, so space helmets on and buckle in for the ride – the thrill is what makes it fun.

Seattle vinyl imprint Rhizome Records presses its second release: Mithra AM. Longtime Seattle favorite Summit Dub provides the title track “Mithra AM” with side B featuring two remixes via our Romanian friends. Cosmin Năstasă aka Cosmjn and BRYZ are two of the brightest talents in Romanian minimal, each offering an intriguing take on “Mithra AM”.

“Mithra AM” on side A patiently gathers steam, generating tension alongside an alluring vocal that calls out to ethereal morning hours. As the atmosphere expands in the second half of the track warmth arrives in lush waves.

Cosmjn’s remix is up first on side B of the EP, picking up the pace and dipping into afterhours moods. Enveloping bass suspends lingering threads of the side A original while an acid melody charges into new territory.

Side B closes out with BRYZ’s remix which lightens the mood and adds a playful bounce and mysterious flashes of tribal sounds. BRYZ’s treatment caps a versatile EP designed to captivate exploratory dance spaces.

KONTENT continues its impressive run of vinyl releases, as it welcomes a slew of rising Romanian producers to its new VA.
Featuring the compelling sounds of Chivru, Hippex (Hipp and Alex Ungureanu), Kiva & Sonohat, KONTENT showcases the depth of talent on offer in Romania’s underground circles. Opening with the dulcet tones of Chivru’s ’Heyday Of Youth’, the Ep traverses an eclectic and altogether groovy sonic aesthetic. Continuing with the sexy, baseline laden ’Drowning By The Light’ by Hippex things escalate as we soar onwards and into Kivva’s dreamy cut ‘1st Century, landing firmly in the grip of Sonohat’s gritty, melancholic cut ‘Modelar. Another firm and fitting statement for KONTENT, as the label proves the talent isn’t just at the top

Positive Not Happy debuts with label owners The Lumens, djs and production duo behind Milan’s most exciting underground events such as Phoenix Room, Pennyroyal After Tea and Electronic Barbecue.
Positive Not Happy is also an effective description of the label style, a blend of house, techno, electro and acid elements mixed in a high energy club voyage, tinged with psychedelic influences. That’s why we say Positive Not Happy is “Home Of Psycho House”. In line with the original tracks, Stephan Bazbaz delivers a “game changing” slamming remix, in which he mixes goa-trance elements with a powerful straight house beat. Thomas A.S. on the flip side complete the line-up with a lush, cool and deeper groove interpretation.

Subtil celebrates their 20th release with the industrious Romanian artist Direkt. His Path of Most Resistance EP contains three fresh, snazzy, minimal tunes beginning with the entrancing, dark trip of A-Side “Past Present” to the mesmerizing “Path of Most Resistance” on the flip. And for the finale he brings “Vitamin”, which fascinates through its determined minimalism.

Now time and space are right to open a new chapter with the own vinyl-only label. We hooked up with Ricardo Villalobos and concluded that it is time to release the beast called Mecker after 14 years of maturing. The track appeared first time in 2007 on the famous Fabric 36 Mix CD.

The cover-artwork is done by our fabulous Juli Jah which gives the release its special touch.

First release brought to you by the beLow collective, BELOW001 is a fresh cocktail of spicy house cuts. On this hand stamped piece of wax, each artist brings its own angle on House music, ranging from a hot and funky disco edit to a 135bpm jam oscillating between garage and west-coast leads. In between, you will find some serious deepness and power supported by spatial stabs, killer grooves, and lush vocals.

This deep and energy-packed release will fit pool parties as much as sweaty nightclubs, while enabling a serious living-room dance-off. Don’t sleep!

Another obscure interpret has appeared

Russian musician Low Tape debut on Luck of Access with three electro influenced tracks.

in this second edition the beat of the street deliver to us a a beautiful gem that you cant miss in your bag composed of five argentine artists with lot of love to the world .

We kick things off on the A-side with Rowlanz. The track is called Colours which transcends into the music itself. From the get go there is a perfect arrangement of layers. The tribal and progressive nature of the synths, accompanied with bird like pads takes us deep through the Jungle into an unknown land. The breakdown is truly hypnotic. You get completely lost turning off from the world around you. It’s safe to say this is some of our favourite work from Rowlanz to date as the artist stays true to form.



Bucharest’s Direkt’s follows on the A2. This is a track that instantly grabs your attention with a definitive thunderous kick coupled with a dubby raw bassline. Dark and mysterious pads and harmonic stabs lend to the track brilliantly. Layer and upon layer unfolds. It is the sort of track which will be completely transformed when played on a big system taking on a new entity and meaning.



On the B-side Sublee, an artist who needs very little introduction. With recent releases on Rowle, RE.FACE and Baumbaum Label. His ability to experiment and play with sounds is really something to behold. Simpa has got a bomb written all over it from the off as the track explodes with deep driving kicks and a hypnotic grooving bassline. The track twists and turns as new elements are introduced with the skipping hats and percussion to keep the energy.



Last but certainly not least Vern steps up the plate bringing a more relaxed feel to the close of the EP. Pads and synths paint a picture of wondrous temples of ancient lands. Skipping hats coupled with a mellow continuous bassline keeps you moving. Intricate wind pipes, chimes and strings can be heard throughout to create moments of peace. It’s very easy to get lost in absolute contentment.

This unbelievable piece of music comes from munich with love.

It’s the first release from iNSiDE MUSiC and we call it iSM001.

We are very happy about our newcomer and hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Handcrafted return with their second vinyl release by Ukrainian born Yaroslav Lenzyak featuring his tracks "Diatomeae" track that has given its name to the Ep and "Serpantin". Including in the Side B, two remixes by Guy From Downstairs and Just_Me. - Vinyl Only

The long-awaited return of the Russian duo Interpolarm is vividly marked by the new fruits of their consciousness called Melchior Ep in the first catalog of the label.

This time the sound of the album is very different from the band's early work. Two original tracks symbolizm a single-phase alloy of two elements, giving preference to the mood of Detroit. The deep and at the same time transparent groove in The Bald is very subtly combined with hating arpeggios, which makes this composition playable and varied.

Melchior itself presents a more frank picture, where bright chords flirt with a cheerful rhythm and masked percussion.

A great addition to these combinations is the remix from Acusmouse, which has already managed to double check out releases on Rawax and uncompromising dance Ep on LittleHelpers. Gaining momentum, this musician always offers the listener fresh solutions on the verge of romance and humor.

Our fantastic founder is back in minimal hypnotic territory with a hommage to his son, hence the title "Little Guy". A clinical dry microbeat with little synth stabs evolving thoughout the story and scattered delayed vocal snippets, making way for jazzy rhode chords and a mysterious clarinet narating the story of the track until the end.


We are honored to welcome RLZ Music's Rowlanz to complete the release. He delivers an interesting blend of metallic sounds and deep vibes brought by the pads and reverberating vocals and clarinet samples. A nice complement for thie EP, better suited for the dancefloor with more purpose and energy than the more introspective original.
