'I Want To Be With You...But Sometimes Life Becomes Too Real...I Want To See The Things In My Heart I Know I Feel'.

The opening track is a love song written from the perspective of the camera, asking to be held up to see the world through the eyes of its user. Chromatics' dense electronics are anchored by the intimacy of Ruth Radelet's vocals. Framed by negative space, this is pop music from the blurry hours. She softly sings, 'I write a song in my head, pretend that I'm lying in your arms'. The music is minimal & bare, layered with sparse percussion. The Camera EP features unreleased material, including a haunting take on Dear Tommy's title track & the midnight mood of 'Flashback To Forever'.

Founded in 2010 Lumberjacks in Hell has seen many beautiful releases. This 2x12" is an overview of the highpoints of the last 6 years and also featuring three tracks that haven't been released on the label originally but but reflect the label sound in the best possible way.

The world of B. is like a giant disco ball, where she likes to dance all around and meet some friends to share some music : Roger Thornhill gave classic disco perfection, Hysteric sent a letter from the far east, or maybe from Italy, Turbo Boom-Boom chewed a funky bubblegum song to make a housy rolling track and Baerlz reworked a boogie track, just what it needed to have the righteous construction for the dancefloor.

In 1982, a group of friends deep into post-punk, jazz and dub got together in Mad Professor's studio and lay down their youthful interpretation of a NYC disco cut. Their unique take included trombone, vibraphone, piano, and an ital dose of tape delay. They called the song Trouble and released two versions (vocal and dub) on their friend Tony McDermott's !Drum! label with artwork inspired by Russian Constructivism. TIP!
.
The group, comprised of Justin Langlands, Chrysta Jones, John Schofield, Tom Dixon, and Dave Killen, decided to call themselves A-Team, having no idea that Mr.T and Co. would make them almost totally ungoogle-able 30 years later. The result of their adolescent studio idealism sounds akin to otherdisco misfits like Arthur Russell, Maximum Joy, Talking Drums and wouldn't sound out of place on legendary NYC label 99 Records. Remastered with an extended Club Dub formaximum dance-floor action.

Kampana's debut release was a global hit across the house, disco and tropical scene, with support from heavyweights such as Francois K, Soul Clap and Gilles Peterson. The label is back just in time for summer with three more doses of peak time fire from Aroop Roy, who has gained a fine reputation for the quality and widespread appeal of his releases. 'You Say' is a funk-fuelled number with gritty retro vocals and guitar, driven by a warm disco groove and 80s arp-synth. The feel-good vibes gradually build into an anthemic floor-filling climax.'Taj Mahal' reworks a Brazilian classic into a full on house workout, reminiscent of Roy's popular series on Gamm. 'Mapora' is an original number that will blend well into both deep house and afro-centric sets. The track builds nicely with filtered samples and syncopated vocals, coming in with an infectious highlife guitar line and late night synth stabs, to get mind and body moving

Captain Planet Is Back On Bastard Jazz With The Second Volume Of His Mystery Trip Series. Digging Deep Into His Record Collection Housed In A Flatbush Storage Unit, The Captain Has Pulled Out A Hefty Selection Of Joints From All Over The World And Has Deftly Chopped, Sliced, Skewed, And Reworked Them Into A Full Mixtape Full Of His Exclusive Edits, And An Ultra Limited Run Of White Label, Hand Stamped 12"s With The Choicest Dancefloor Cuts From The Tape.
Things Kick Off With "oluku", A Bubblin' Nigerian Dubby Disco Jam With A Heavy Bassline And Pounding Drums, Followed By "manman Mwan" - A Big Uptempo, Percussion And Chant Heavy African Killer. On The Flip, "sapatiero" Heads To Brasil With It's Bouncing Synth Bass, Beefed Up Drums And Dreamy Vocals, While "el Marcianito" Rounds Things Off On A Chugging, Ultra Funky Cumbia Note.

Two brand new, dance floor tested reworks by label boss and Classic Music Company recording artist Eli Escobar.

RON TRENT returns with his GEMINI JAZZ entity on his MUSIC & POWER imprint with 2 deep spiritual tracks "THE TANTRA" & "HARD & SOFT". "THE TANTRA" is a preview of the upcoming album "GEMINI JAZZ". "HARD & SOFT" is a hint of the future album "WHATTHEF*CKDOYOUKNOWABOUTDEEPHOUSE". Powah!

Australia based artist Inkswel is widely known for his funk infused dance music that incorporates ingenious sample work and memorable vocal cuts. For the ninth installment of the PULP series the 'Edible Pyramid EP' is a journey through the mind of the Australian artist. The package includes a melancholic remix by no one else than long time champion of vinyl and Red Motorbike label boss Eddie C, 'Edible Pyramid' is a work of positivity, the title track excels in it's blissful ambiance that is supported by a back bone of thumping rhythms and jovial vocal cuts. The Eddie C Remix is showcasing a wistful approach by incorporating a rhythm that is reminiscent of those from the early days of Hip hop. 'Let Go' is a confident sounding work of samples. Rhythmically firm with an emotive break that is a welcome change from the slow base-rhythm that flows throughout.

On the B side The Posse comes up with a remix that cleverly incorporates oozing synth pads and a more upbeat vibe. The original is flipped into a more dancefloor friendly version with an acidic touch to it. The final track is called 'Yesterdays Flava of The Month' this boogie tainted cut uses tasty breaks and lively pads that again depict a positive atmosphere.

PULP09 - Inkswel - Edible Pyramid EP will be available from all specialized retailers starting June 2018.

Uwalmassa is a sonic exploration project initiated by DIVISI62 - a sound and visual arts label based in Jakarta, Indonesia that examines the Indonesian identity issue within a global context. The thought process behind their debut album 'Bumi Uthiri' is to provide an alternative study on Javanese gamelan composition and to experiment with its known and unknown structures. It is a deconstructed interpretation of a musical tradition that aims to stretch boundaries, but nevertheless, adhere to its core essence. All of the tracks in the album were composed out of the live recordings that were done using a single condenser mic. The results were then assembled using digital signal processing and audio manipulation.The tracks 'Untitled 01' and 'Untitled 02' were first released in September 2016 as a digital-only format.

A shimmering piece of gold - Discos Dorados is a 4 track VA e.p. brought to our shores by the Lovedancing adventurers.

Felipe Gordon & Vagabundo Club Social open up the e.p. marrying dreamy arps and luscious Rhodes stabs, with tribal esque chanting to create an exotic, bubbling groover. Eddie C then ramps up the disco flavour with his Stomp Mix of the original, introducing a phased upbeat hook and choice horn samples, isolating out elements before unleashing a killer keys solo over the top.

Flip it and Sleazy Mcqueen & Vagabundo Club Social bring the heat with 'Chips Y Salsoul', blending jazzy chords and echoed out trumpets evocative of a Mexican fiesta after one too many tequilas. To close it out Eddie C rides off into the sunset sampling a vocal dialogue that wouldn't be out of place on a Moodymann record alongside succulent strings and crisp percussion - reminiscent of the jazz infused, MPC laden house of the Moomin's of this world.

Some might remember The Planty Herbs from his earlier 7 Inch outing on RNT, and now the dynamic Dutchman brings his dusty vibes to a 4-track EP of crafty edit selections. "Famyly" kicks of the pack with a bouncy funk groove, followed by "Errybodydisco," a low-slung house party affair. On the flip we have the flute solo and sample-heavy Soundstream-esque stomper "Today," while "What's Inside" takes us back to the soul side with a boom-bappity cover of a 70s R&B classic.

The Chicago Edit Kings Are Back With 4 Ultra Deep Disco Cuts Chopped For Your Listening Pleasure...strong Stuff Enjoy! Limited Release...

Series 4 of East Village Edits which is getting known as the essential fire starter records for DJs. As always DJ Monchan spices up the Dollar bin records with juicy hip shaking cuts, at the same time, he picked abstract tracks to turn them into happy floor friendly tunes.

Ron Trent meets Skymark! Two masterminds at work. The organic meets the electronic - musician meets machine. Pressed loud for optimum DJ play. Summer is happening... BIG TIP!
.
Ron Trent takes on the mighty Skymark original, and elevates the listener to a whole other place like only he can. Trent treats us to one of his deepest, dubbiest jams in recent years - embracing the strength of the song while interweaving his own rhythm throughout.

The original track, here on the flip, featured on Skymark's 2015 'Wave From The Nucleus' LP- a beautiful song from the sun-kissed Swiss musician and producer who resided in Rio de Janeiro for many years, and now in Barcelona.

A real meeting of minds. Both artists express their love for the deep and organic, incorporating Brazilian sounds, gospel, disco, jazz and soul in their music. Their similaraly detailed approach and ideologies blend perfectly on this 12' release.

Here it is !

The long-awaited new LP from former Dubtribe Soundsystem shaman Sunshine Jones

Far from basking in Bay Area bliss, Sunshine has been busy redefining his organic approach to music making and sound synthesis into a rich and textured fresh take on the House blueprint - best realised in his elaborate & ever-evolving live shows.

Assembling these improvised pieces into a cohesive whole, that might well just be the best vinyl based representation off a full night out you're likely to hear this year.
From the emotive opener to last year's anthemic 'Fall In Love, Not In Line' closer, Home represents the fluid but refined garden of sound that's grown from Dubtribe's rich 90's foundation.

The artwork on this splendidly presented gatefold LP is a photograph of Sunshine performing live at the Garden Party in San Francisco by The Holy Mountain, the collage is done by Sunshine and the design is by Fernando_Graphicos. Accompanied by detailed track notes, with all equipment used to make the record alongside sonic schematic. Man and machine aligned for total transcendence !


SINGLE GATEFOLD LP

House of Disco return with a pair of funk fuelled cuts from Aroop Roy with Japan's Brisa contributing a deep and percussive remix. Based in London, Aroop Roy's take on electronic music involves blending elements of jazz, Afro, Latin and funk with disco and house. Roy's releases have landed on Freestyle, Gamm and Basic Fingers, and most recently on the hugely successful Kampana Classics EP.

His multi-genre spanning influences can be attributed to his wealthy experience playing around the globe, including previous residencies in London, Geneva and Tokyo.
Renowned taste makers Gilles Peterson, Francois K, Karizma and Rainer Trueby are only a few names from a swelling list of supporters and their seal of approval is a clear
testament to his studio abilities.

'Talkin Bout Life' demonstrates Roy in fine form as it subtly builds into an essential party anthem. Jazzy keys, a soulful guitar lick and a dusty breakbeat are brought together by a warm and punchy low end to form an irresistible groove. This sets the scene for a breakdown of epic proportions, with raw vocals looping hypnotically to a huge climax.

'We Together' shows Roy's deeper side, pairing chunky, overdriven percussion with subterranean chords, whilst an infectious vocal operates on top. A warm analogue synth ups the ante with an extra portion of funk.

Hailing from Fukuoka, Brisa concludes the package by completely reimagining 'Talkin Bout Life'. Rumbling drums, twisted bass and otherworldly stabs together forge a jazzy remix with an abundance of character and originality.

Young Marco Edit/Version. Fully licensed, hand stamped.

Lucretio and Marieu, AKA The Analogue Cops, are certainly no strangers to Hypercolour, having previously released three singles for our Hypercolour and HypeLTD labels over the last few years. The duo are back again for the 'Flimsy Output' EP, following a run of well received EPs on Memento, Moondance and the Sabotage label. Lucretio steps up with the first of two killer tracks. On 'Higher & Higher', we are served up some prime time underground vocal house vibes; a filtered vocal and string combo flourishes around a hefty kick drum whilst acidic bleeps rain down in a true warehouse style. On 'Give Out', Lucretio opts for more astute sampling, wrapping a soulful vocal around a loping percussive beat and incessant keys, taking things right back to the raw power of house music. On the flip, Marieu reduces the BPMs on 'Hit The Power' for a lazy, shuffling jam that manipulates film dialogue and shifting micro beats, all pinned down under a hulking bassline. Jacking things back up for 'XA Swing', Marieu deploys reverberating beats, garage light organs and transposed vocal refrains for a real old school soulful jam that evokes shades of classic Moodyman, Nick Holder etc. Another set of first class tracks from The Analogue Cops then, bringing their gritty yet funky warehouse house vibes back to Hypercolour!

Shir Khan welcomes Zoo Brazil to his infamous Black Jukebox disco house series. Lately, the swedish producer released tracks on Hot Since 82's Knee Deep In Sound, Nic Fanciullis Saved Records and with more music to come on Sasha's Last Night On Earth and Joris Voorn's Green Label.
For Black Jukebox John went all disco - think something like Soundstream on ecstasy - hyperactive loops & grooves. Pure locked in dancefloor moments !

Appearing out of nowhere in particular in 2017, Donald Dust's debut EP for No Bad Days and subsequent fleeting cameos for Bordello A Parigi and Paradise Palms introduced the world to his musical sphere: WBMX radio mixes, Ron Hardy drum tracks, the golden era of Italo synths and the rawer fledgling sounds of Eurodisco-influenced House circling and overlapping in his productions and DJ sets.The new 7 Mars R-Trax mines the depths of Youtube modular synth demos, Adam & Fleisner SFX and disco drum 12s resulting in a two-part DJ tool for cosmic punks.

Harlem's legendary Disco label Queen Constance has long been a cult favourite among fans of underground dance music for decades.

One of many labels operating under the equally legendary P&P family of imprints Land Of Hits was operated by one Peter Brown, a truly colossal figure in NYC's music scene, it's catalogue still fascinates music lovers to this day. Covering a wide range of styles including Gospel, early Rap and Disco the label's output continually finds it way into the playlists of respected DJ's and selectors across the globe. Mistafide's colossal old-school rap behemoth 'Equidity Funk' has long been a record that makes the serious collectors salivate and is now here in full 12" form repress, too legit to quit.

Not much is known about the crew behind 'Mistafide', their government names are listed online but this is the only record they put out using this name. Suffice to say, this has no impact on the fury and style with which the MC's deliver their raps, backed with the studio nous of impresario Peter Brown. Across 12 minutes 'Equdity Funk' is a slamming Disco-rap monster, interpolating elements of the evergreen B-boy jam 'Theme From SWAT' it sounds like everyone just got into the studio and went for it. In the style of the times this is the real hip-hop flavour, a live band, some MC's and some death defying bars being dropped, proper old school. A truly rare recording, 'Equidity Funk' has been one of those records fans of the Disco-rap era have been fiending for for decades - often commanding prices over the $1000 mark you can now grab this slice of essential NYC street Funk.

This is a 100% legit reissue, made in conjunction with Above Board distribution and the Demon Music group, remastered with love by Optimum Mastering, Bristol UK.

MAINLINE - Legendary disco track reworked like never before.

PIPELINE - A hot flip on this Bruce Johnston classic! The beat patterns alone will drive Disco freaks to the edge.

Another much welcomed reissue of the late 70's funk laden, disco two tracker from Splendor. The A side 'Take Me To Your Disco' is emblematic of disco records from that golden era where big bands and big budgets were rife. Yet there's an interplanetary twist to this one, with the mysterious, eerie, spacecraft sounding intro paving the way for a tale of extraterrestrials wanting to get down at one of planet earths discos. You can tell this came from an era were disco really was taking over Flip it over and you've got the mighty Special Lady. With Philip Bailey, of Earth, Wind and Fire fame, on production his style comes through strong in the vocal arrangement with the level of feeling and power he squeezes out of each voice. A chance to add these two anthems to the collection!

Infusing tropical vibes and electronic grooves to reflect the vivid ever evolving Latin American soundscape is the fresh musical excursion 'Electropical' as synthesised by London based producers, Juantils a melting pot of authentic Latin anthems, jazzy grooves, disco infused songs and Balearic sounds all processed in HD for an immersive experience which explores the colourful influences of the Caribbean, vast Amazonian dimensions and beyond. Its heart-warming journey is a highly seductive experience that further enhances the mood with repeated play.

'Electropical' sees Juan Laya & Jorge Montiel (best known for their Los Charlys Orchestra albums and tracks) re-imagine some of the most emblematic tracks from the Latin music world including ''Manduco' and 'Fruta Fresca' as well unveiling new material including an awesome jazzy Latin Disco version of the millennial summer anthem 'Pasilda'. Playful sounds and organic grooves are carefully balanced with a subtle 'Electropical' touch to forge a natural expression of fusion - a perspective that has characterised the work of Juan & Jorge for more than a decade now.

From the impressive folk-inspired Todd Terje favourite, 'Cumbanchero' (included on his Radio 1 Essential Mix) to the raw percussive style of 'Tambor Urbano' 'Electropical' elegantly weaves into its textures the primal drums, rippling jazz guitar, undulating bass and unique sounds such as vibraphone, Peruvian pan flute and congas conjuring the roots of Latin music in 'Electropical' style. This unique sonic landscape forges an intimate connection.

Flag-bearers for contemporary Latin-infused sounds London/Venezuelan production duo, Juan Laya and Jorge Montiel, celebrated their 10th anniversary in 2017 by joining forces with the soul legend, Omar on 'It's So/History' alongside classic cuts such as 'All Around The World', 'Everlasting Love' & 'Sunshine'

Quarion is back on Drumpoet with an enchanting new EP that leaves nothing to be desired. Cobblestone takes the dancer on a deep sensual journey, builds up continuously and subtly into a truly emotive peak. Sunday Night Pt. 2 tops it by captivating with rhythmic chords, which remind of the early 90ies. Jamaican Morse is a driven drum track, spiced with dubby sounds and a higly addictive beat.

New York based Ben Pirani producing the acoustic version of "Hustin'", which does not feature on our forthcoming mini album by Garfield Fleming.

J Colleran's majestic lead single 'bERA' began as a simple experiment using pianos and arpeggiators that slowly developed into a shimmering elemental piece. The coinciding video, directed by Gray was inspired by the photography series by Anton Polyakov who documented the people of Transnistria, an independent state affected by the constant intimidation of military conflict.The film shows the slow shifting balance of power from physical force to the over bearing emptiness of a room. Gray describes the featured bodybuilder flexing to a visible lack of audience as 'a shimmering golden symbol of power and also a fragile vessel shaped around a trauma. The presence of a long gaze and the rapid deterioration of strength reveals a true identity.Recent quick-fire single 'O+SOH' served as a transitional primer for the Irish producer and classical pianist, forming the perfect base from which to launch 'Gardenia' — a sweeping experimental soundscape inspired by childhood memories and the natural beauty of his native Ireland.

Announcing his forthcoming BBE album 'Taste of Chicago', edit kingpin and DJ par excellence Jamie 3:26 drops a 12' comprising two of his most highly prized cuts. At the top of many a vinyl digger's wish-list since its highly limited white label release in 2010, the Jamie 3:26 edit of Calendar's 1977 disco stepper 'Comin' On Strong' has become the stuf of legend, played to devastating efect by Theo Parrish among others over recent years. On the fip, Jamie 3:26 heads into classic Chicago House territory with a fery reworking of impossible-to-fnd Braxton Holmes banger 'Stomps & Shouts', taken from his mythical 'Cabrini-Greens and Cornbread' project. A scintillating teaser of what's to come later this year when BBE release 'Taste Of Chicago', a full album's worth of Jamie's incredible edits, this 12' is surely a must have for House and Disco players the world over.

After a short hiatus here is the long awaited return of Magic Wand
