finally repressed !

H2H, the project of Chez Damier and Ben Vedren, teamed up with Ricardo Villalobos for a studio session in Berlin.

BAR Musica Welcome italian Francesco Mami, with two trippy minimal tracks, alongside a classy Fred P remix!

Early support from: Raresh, Enzo Siragusa, Giuliano Lomonte, Archi Hamilton, Barac

nina is far removed from the usual deep house sound, with an airy and intricate style mixed with her own vocals and put together to create a track with soul. now repressed !!!

We are pumped to share our 7th release: “Snorkeling in Dewsbury” by a fairly new name out of Leeds, Midge Thompson. Another heavy hitter out of the UK (go figure), we first caught wind of him via his release on Butter Side Up (Big shout out to Hamish!) and knew we had to get him on board for his next vinyl output.

He delivered the goods as we expected with a well rounded EP that's an ode to his hometown. The A1, Snorkeling in Dewsbury, is the title track and delivers a punchy but deep, house groove. Fat bass lines, catchy chords and a subtle yet uplifting vocal make this a warm-up killer. For the A2, Snorkeling in Dewsbury gets a rework by our Italian brother Paolo Mosca. He puts his own twist on the title track with a progressive arrangement that eventually erupts into a dance floor weapon that is begging for a dark, sweaty room. Heads down, hands up.

On the flipside you get “Sometimes You Can” a hi-hat and sub-bass driven, deep yet techy, track akin to the golden age of 90’s house music with timeless minimal vocals and swing. To round out the EP, you get Hot Rod, a slow-building, big room slammer that’s patiently waiting for club’s to re-open.

repressed !

After constributing a superb remix for Ricardo last year (PERL69-1), we are happy to announce the first solo 12~ from mister Proper for Perlon.

Aquatic drums and romantic vocoders from a galaxy far far

release is starting off strong with raw machines that’ll grease

After a resounding success on the 4th release of honne music the 5th record is ready and it's something special.

We are pleased to announce this great various artists compilation, kicking off the A side is the one and only Harrison BDP with ''More Or Less", a driving housy track with electro synths, some lashes of vocals and a stomping groove made to fill the dance floor.

Next up on the A2 is Moray with the funky and banger “Ohhhhh Really”, processed drums and some retro vibes on this one also big track to fill the dance floor.

Caposile Music guys are proud to present their third release.
The EP is produced by Alessio Viggiano, the international producer and DJ that have been hosted many times at After Caposile.
Alessio shares his “history” as producer with three unreleased tracks, that go from the deep house of Astral Impact to the tech house of Magic Mountain, always maintaining his unique style, clearly expressed on the track We Will Go Dance Together, the track that has been chosen by the French duo Oden & Fatzo for an unmissable remix.

The bass and the overwhelming vocal make this last track the most important one of the EP, that is, with Oden & Fatzo remix, an unmissable EP.

Are You Happy?
What would is what we should be doing. Sort out our sorry lives despite obstacles, imaginary or real, does not matter what you feel. We are cornered, floored, bored, abhorred. So do it or die. Do it or die. Hear hear, make do battlecry.

“A Cómeme classic that was ahead of its time finds a new life in fresh mixes by Matias Aguayo and Ricardo Villalobos”

In a surprising turn of events Cómeme reissues Matias Aguayo’s “El Camarón” from his album “The Visitor” (2013) in a new 12” extended club mix including a remix of none other than Ricardo Villalobos. The latter suggested to give this forgotten latin new beat gem a new life! He had recently rediscovered it, and added to his sets - including his own 12 minute fabulous remix, which is driven by a mesmerizing groove and pumpin sub bass frequencies.

Aguayo then decided to also rework “El Camarón” with an extended soundsystem - friendly mix, that will move the feet of dance music lovers from all kind of biospheres!

The lyrics tell the story of an old river shrimp that accidentally joins a boat party. The ball starts in the guaraní jungle to later continue along the ivory coast, featuring super colour range towels, buzzing mosquitos, monkeys, parrots, piranhas, mermaids, and more. The shrimp becomes the star of the night by introducing new ways of dancing that make every one go down, down, down, abajo, abajo, abajo…

Alleria’s first appearance on Nervmusic Records

La Collectionneuse is the third studio album by Carsten Jost.

Passarani debuts on Aus with his sixth studio album, The Wildlife Of The Quieter Ones.

Vinyl Only, dedicated to my family, my supporters and all the music lovers. The sixth chapter is coming from the duo Araki Corp. composed by The Groove Guy and Lapucci. The two met in between their styles, modern nostalgic sound, how we like it at burbi’ studios. 80’s oriental influences mixed to modern futuristic sounds. 4 tracks that cover 4 different music kinds.

Next up on Serii Speciale we have another talent from Argentina , Suinyl, 12" limited press on transparent wax

The second instalment of the Arupa Music Vinyl Limited release presents Bexu, an artist who derives from Cluj-Napoca, North Western Romania. Bexu’s discography has grown steadily over the past few years, and we are super proud to make an addition in physical format.



Title track Calatoria entices mystery from the get go, an artistic soundscape of dreamy, uplifting pads with chugging bass and sharp driving percussion. The hypnotic vocal eagerly anticipating an answer, rightly deserves provoking sequel (part two).



‘Doru Lenii’ is a different approach to the dreamy off kilter nature of the Calatoria tracks. A driving, instructive vocal, builds anticipation and delivers sonic answers for questions asked, chords progress as the track builds, heavy synths drive the track forward and into conclusive territory. A true tale of the sun & moon; day into night, and back into day again.



Crihan’s interpretation of ‘Calatoria responds in true B side fashion, responding with a bounce and giving direction to the adventure mystified in the title track. Off kilter percussion, a focused bassline, vocal converses with ‘Cataloria’, natural production techniques give a truly organic feel. This release disperses absolute warmth.

Sono Unica Records welcomes Romanian maestro Nu Zau for the fourth release - Future Self EP. With his three hypnotic tracks Nu Zau brilliantly adds to the Sono Unica releases.

Landmarks and milestones are always memorable, but the 50th EP release on FUSE feels that little bit more special as head honcho Enzo Siragusa steps up to the mark and returns for the second time this year. Having launched the label in 2011 with his now iconic ‘The Sagamore’ EP, the renowned selector and producer has grown and shaped the FUSE from a Sunday after-hours to one of the most notable names within house and techno worldwide - anchoring the label at the heart of its identity and bringing its trademark sound to an international audience. Following material from original residents Rich NxT, Rossko, Seb Zito and Archie Hamilton through to regular guests and close friends such as Guti, East End Dubs, Michael James and Fabe, October sees Siragusa showcase both his and FUSE’s evolution over the past decade as he uncovers two bustling productions across his ‘Dreamscape’ EP.

A production oozing with his signature sound, yet introducing fresh subtleties in amongst the track’s snaking groove and hypnotic melodies, ‘Dreamscape’ welcomes a title cut full of energy as the FUSE boss picks up right where he left off to provide yet more heavily requested material on home turf. On the flip, ‘Bean That Talks’ sees Siragusa get playful while maintaining the vigour of his bustling live sets, combining chunky low-ends with skippy percussion and rich pads to showcase precisely why he and FUSE continue to flourish as leaders of a sound that they can truly call their own.

Say hello to the great debut of artist Nukohl hailing from the wonderful Leipzig, Germany. His six tracks been a collection of the last years of his work. A beautiful and melancholic electro ride through time and space.

It's still hard to keep up with all of Burnski's many different labels, but we're not complaining. This one, Constant Black, mixes up things with a tech and minimal twist and next to do so is Daniel Akbar. 'What' soon wins you over with its kinetic and infectious drum programming and smart samples - a phased vocal and a twisted synth lead. 'Retreat' gets more physical - the drums bang with an old-school flavour and hint of tribalism. 'Listen' is a big fat tech roller with low slung bass and 'This One' rounds out with some brilliant drum, hits and brain-frying bass sounds. Pow pow, what a record.

SYNSTH 005 is ready!

This time Daniel Gorziza comes with a totally new sound from what we were all been used with till now. This one has beatiful mixed sounds of Breakbeat with other influences coming from the electronic music genres!

RAWAX IS PROUD TO WELCOME MR. K-ALEXI SHELBY TO THE FAMILY!
Mr. K Alexi Shelby
Like a moth drawn to a flame, there is something utterly infectious about the music of Mr.K Alexi Shelby, better known as K-Alexi one of the founding fathers of house music direct from his home city of Chicago. Since the late 1980s, he has pioneered the true house sound, leading to a DH and production career spanning over 20 years, including collaborations with artists ranging from The Pet Shop Boys to Derrick May and from Larry Heard and Felix da Housecat to Will Smith, as well as gigs across the globe.
An impressionable young teenager, Mr.K Alexi Shelby developed friendships with Frankie Knuckles and Ron Hardy whilst attending seminal venues like The Warehouse and The Music Box in the mid 1980s. Being here at this embryonic stage of dance music culture, there were no rules or precedents, so K Alexi drew on a rich musical heritage that had seen him grow up in the 70s and 80s listening to Stevie Wonder, Prince, Curtis Mayfield and David Huff. Those roots continue to influence his music to this day.
It was under the moniker Risque III that Essence Of A Dream was released in 1987, firmly establishing the name of Mr.K Alexi Shelby amongst the most prominent of all house producers at the time. Moreover, those early tracks are still recognized to be the quintessential Chicago house sound. The rumbling and dark bass, smooth strings, incredible percussion and the spoken word poetic and erotic lyrical flow became the trademark for classic Chicago house and the template for everything else that followed. To reiterate, there was no template before this. This was the beginning.
This initial success has lead to Mr.K Alexi Shelby working with the leading names across the electronic music world and beyond. Collaborations and remixes for Chicago peers like Mike Dunn, Mr. Lee and Marshall Jefferson merely served as the springboard for Alexi to work with the best in the electronic scene, from Derrick May to Paul Johnson ,Ron Trent Dave Angel to Felix ad House Kat. Furthermore, his talents have also lead to him working with The Pet Shop Boys and Will Smith.
On top of this, his tracks have appeared on compilations by artists varying from Laurent Garnier to DJ Hell, who used It's Me 2010 contribution to the Body Language series for Get Physical Music. Produced under the Club M.C.M. moniker, the 1991 EP It's Me/Club M.C.M. has been a frequent selection for compilations for 20 years and is rightly regarded as a true underground techno classic.

Vinyl only

First release from Purple Print featuring Sepp.

Assemble Music brings together four more producers at the forefront of today's fine minimal/house/electro scene. Eklo boss Seuil kicks things off with JAM, a slowly-unfolding confection of metallic percussion and rolling bass set against a meditative, minor backdrop. His fellow Half Baked resident Robin Ordell brings a tipsy-sounding vibe to MOBSIW, each element swaying its way around the others in an off-key dance. Les Points' Barbir adds Detroit hats to a no-shits-given breakbeat and suspends it in time, before finally a 4/4 kick comes to put feet back on the ground. Finally, Traffic founders Martyné and Jacob draw on more contemporary breaks and electro influences on ELECTRONETTO, with that laissez-faire swing with which their label has become synonymous.

Vinyl only - no words needed. First come/ First serve!

Tooflez Muzik is a Berlin based label that stretches the boundaries and borders of are presenting their first vinyl release by label head Danielle Arielli.

Long-awaited “Uritorco Reworks” e.p. has finally landed.

By taking a completely different approach they both transport us to the same place…outer space.
