Chicago's Ike Release returns to his label EPISODES with the Watercolors EP.

Pender Street Steppers drop in on the lo-NRG side with MH008 : The Glass City / Golden Garden. This vinyl record could be compared to a Home Depot furnished office complex or a slimy algae covered rock briefly revealed by the tide. This is music for car parks, drywall delivery vans, and days when the air smells fresh but slightly shitty.
The record is already seeing huge support from DJs such as Pender Street Steppers!

Danilo Braca (danyb) arrived in Brooklyn from his native Rome in 2012. Playing around town, running sound at local venues and slowly allowing these edits--informed by many years working the floors across Europe--to evolve on and off the dancefloors of New York City. Check his web radio TSoNYC - The Sound of New York City.
Busted Vol. 2 continues the journey with a fine foot-stompin slap bass jam, followed by a foot-workin & vibe heavy Jazz funker.
The B side gives us some top drawer psychedelic soul and another awesome cosmic cut that wraps up a package of the finest obscure floor-shakers around
One hell of a 12" ladies & gentlemen !

Kalita Records are extremely proud to announce their first release, the three choice cuts from NST Cophie's 1980 private press Ivory Coast Afro-disco album 'Mon'Da Center'.
After moving to Paris in 1976 and having played with other well-known bands such as N'Bamina, Osibisa, and with numerous artists including Jimmy Hyacinthe and Papa Wemba, 'Mon'Da Center' was Ernest's first solo album. Recorded at Studio Caroline in Paris's 20th sector over the space of one week, this self-funded ultra-rare album regularly exchanges hands for eye-watering prices.

We hope that you love the tracks as much as we do, and invite you to join us in celebrating the musical world of NST Cophie's, all on glorious 180 gram vinyl! Accompanied with liner notes and exclusive photos!

REPRESSED !!
Basic Fingers is back and welcomes Philou Louzolo to the label, who delivers two blistering edits and one original track for the label's twenty ninth release.

First up is 'Lumumba's Revenge', an original cut, produced and arranged by Philou Louzolo himself, creating an intoxicating mood to start off the release.
Next up is 'Tartit's Tribe', an edit of an original desert song from the Tombouctou region of Mali.
As if that wasn't enough to set the juices flowing, Philou ends the release on the flip with 'Fadimata's Dibabba', a track built around exotic melodies, chanted vocals and chunky percussion.

Anthony Fade embark on the fifth expedition into the exotic lands of palm trees and blue skies with their club fuelled 'What I Need' EP. Expedition five features four jams packed full of catchy vocals, crunchy drum patterns and hazy synth lines.

Another sizeable bite outta the Big Apple !The mighty NY EDITS series returns ! VERY limited and mysterious one-off 12's emanating, as you might expect, from the city that never sleeps
Put together by a legendary NY record store owner from a personal stash of edits constructed for back in the day club play, which still sound super fresh and effective today !

DEDICATION, the collaboration of Felix Dickinson and Mikey Yamada. Felix spent 10 years playing at Lifeforce in Tokyo. An international DJ & producer, current status - head honcho at Cynic Music. Recently nominated for a 'Best DJ Award' DJ Mag. Mikey Yamada, Japanese designer & originator of the band. The name DEDICATION comes from Yamada's Japanese clothing brand. Past releases feature Robert Owens and Brendon Reily on DFA, Golf Chanel & Futureboogie. A couple of their in-demand cuts, recently released on Claremont, including the sublime Let Me Rock You'. 'SHOW ME LOVE' - tactile, groovy emotion rich, chunks of deep disco brilliance. CRAZY P vocalist DANIELLE MOORE is the cherry on the cake of this sweet first release on AIP MUSIC - London based Katie Barber & Michelle Kelly, currently lighting up dancefloors with their exotic, sunny sounds. AIP MUSIC original tracks on vinyl and maybe a super-sexy edit or two.

Hard Ton, Italy's extravagant duo of all things house music are back on Luv Shack Records, unleashing six steaming hot tracks on the "Queer Nation EP" - a precursor to the first full Hard Ton album that is due for 2017."Queer Nation" has singer Max swapping his falsetto with a dark mangled voice, reciting names of queer icons over a dry acid house track that rejoices in repetition, and rightly so.Classic Music head honcho Luke Solomon's remix of "Queer Nation" builds up an intense 707 drum pattern, underlining rhythm guitars and Max's voice, ending in a bold acid climax.
Italian newcomers Younger Than Me also take on "Queer Nation", marrying an early 80's wave touch with a classic house approach.
SIDE B:
When Hard Ton pair up with ROTCIV, "Style Galore" awaits us. The cut up hushed vocals are thrown into a lush melange of filtered pad shots, Juno basslines, glimpses of 303 and a percussive house groove.
"Yeah Yeah" featuring Moralez & Sames is an ode to early Detroit and Chicago house, with Max singing vigorously, syncopated hihats swirling and stabs nodding towards lil Louis.
The final track is a LeSale disco dub of "The Way You Rock feat. Mirror People". LeSale strips the original drums completely, rearranging the vox, piano and synths to fit his disco workout edit style, adding a cheeky synth bassline to complete the boogie redress.

COLLECTOR'S EDITION, FLOURESCENT HAND SILKSCREENED JA

Trained multi-genre dancer, DJ, producer, MC and pure force of energy: meet William Djoko, the latest talent from one of house music's foremost cities, Amsterdam.

Djoko's effervescent performances and eclectic musical melange of disco, tech, afro, leftfield and straight up house first earned him a name in his native stomping grounds at places like Trouw and are now propelling him onto the international DJ circuit with slots at London's Printworks and Elrow Town, Circoloco in Ibiza and Concrete in Paris among others.

Cutting his production teeth in the late zeros on Amsterdam imprint Thirtyonetwenty, William has gone on to release tracks on Rush Hour, Mobilee, Tuskegee and, most notably, Tom Trago's Voyage Direct label, as well as delivering remixes for the likes of Darius Syrossian and Anja Schneider.

OMG, William's quirky, colourful debut for Strictly features vocals from jazz man Camilo and remixes from the original king of New York house, Todd Terry. The Todd Terry in House mix is exclusive to the vinyl release.

Following on from the first part of Heatwave remixes, Mike Maurro digs deep into this legendary groups catalogue to bring us another duo of stellar reworkings. This time their Jazz-Funk classic 'The Groove Line' from 1977 gets the MM remix treatment and is backed with their evergreen slow-jam 'Always And forever'. 2 deeper cuts this time but the quality is just as high as Maurro really understands this music and knows what to use and how. Fans of Heatwave will undoubtedly adore these new mixes and people who are new to the group will be amazed they hadn't checked out the legendary Mr. Rod Temperton and his super talented pan-European band of musicians before! Naturally, everyone is welcome to this party....
Another amazing addition from Brookside Records to the ever growing archive of classic Disco, Funk & Soul treats that we, as music lovers, are lucky to experience.

Both mixes utilise some previously unheard studio ad-libs and instrumentation to fantastic effect, shining some new light on tracks that are engraved in the psyches of millions of dancers, DJ's and music lovers, no mean feat, but Mike Maurro pulls it off beautifully.
Again, Brookside bring us another set of cult Disco cuts reworked beautifully for 2017's ears, essential stuff for all lovers of this kind of music, this release is simply unmissable. The record comes with lovingly reworked Heatwave artwork and these remixes are exclusive to this release and are fully, 100% legit, licensed and sanctioned by all relevant rights holders.
Simply put, another set of essential mixes from a modern day master!

Coming to life on a hazy cloud of natural instrumentation and meditative composition, Modern Manners tap into the appetite for delicate new age musings beautifully on this debut release. "Amor Y Odio" is laced with Spanish guitar musings that spiral out over a simple but effective drum break that harks back to classic downtempo, while "Running With Me" edges towards a more sprightly lounge headspace while retaining the rich musicality felt on the first track. "Instant Illusion" is propelled by a bassline that wouldn't sound out of place on a house track, but here its punching out in a subtle, laid back environment that aims to get you horizontal in the most sophisticated way possible.

Name in Lights have been organising parties, DJing, producing music and running their own label Feed for a long time.
Fact is - they are kind of royalty back in Stockholm.
After releasing records on Under The Shade, Free Association, Let's Play House, as well as getting remixed by Dr Dunks and Axel Boman it's now time to present two tracks on Omena.
Believe it or not but the ties between Omena and Name In Lights go way back. All Inclusive is that type or track you would either start or end the night with while Post Mortem sounds like DJ Koze and Isolee would have a baby together.
On this release there are two remixes which completely flip the originals. Underground hero Samo DJ is a force to be reckoned with. With recent releases on The Trilogy Tapes, Public Possession and an album on Snaker together with Maxxxbass he found time to work 'All Inclusive' into something completely new.
Watch out for the end.
Finally label boss Tooli delivers a remix filled with as much rhodes and conga as your heart desires.

Fellow earthlings, cast your gaze skywards. If you're quick, you might see Earthboogie's intergalactic cruise ship coming in to land.

While they've been DJing around London and beyond with their custom built Quod sound system for some time, the Mr Mystery EP marks their debut appearance on Leng Records. It's the first time the fruits of their studio labours, recorded in the space they call The Control Room, have made it onto vinyl.

Izaak Gray and Nicola Robinson's musical vision is delightfully hard to pigeonhole, but is arguably best summed up by their self proclaimed dedication to all things 'intergalactic, cosmic, tribal and terrestrial'. Some may draw clear parallels with the Afro-cosmic work of Italian pioneers Daniele Baldelli and Beppe Loda, where rock guitars, disco riffs, vintage synthesizers and heavy African drum rhythms are all thrown into the musical melting pot.

On the A-side, you'll find 'Mr Mystery', a bongo-laden chunk of hypnotic, low-slung voodoo disco full of haunting flute lines, flanged funk guitars, heavy drum machine kicks, impassioned yelps, cascading chords and crunchy clavinet lines. It's an intoxicating, early morning trip that achieves a near perfect balance between thrusting danceflooor heaviness and head-in-the-clouds daydreaming.

Things get even steamier on the flip, where the intergalactic, Afro-disco hustle of 'Route Ten To Interzone' ushers aboard Earthboogie's star-bound cruiser. Built around an irrepressible groove - think restless electronic bass, hard-wired disco-funk guitars and layered tribal drums - the track surges forward on a wave of chanted vocals, spacey synth solos and irrepressible disco flourishes.

'The E.B Theme', a kind of aural call to arms, completes a fine first foray into music production. A little looser, hazier and deeper than the rest of the EP, the tracks is propelled forwards on waves of dreamy chords, lilting trumpet motifs, spacey electronics, tumbling disco guitars and a bassline that recalls the early days of Chicago deep house. It's a wonderful end to a notably impressive debut 12'.

It is time for the Nang and Rayko worlds to collide once more. The awesome Madrid-based DJ and producer is back with his second album on Nang. As ever the grooves are wide, the beats are large and the musical elements ooze funk and nu disco sheen.

Thing open up with the title track and recent single "No Stopping". The track features the fine vocals from Tania Haroshka and it is a powerhouse of synth disco, electronic groove with real bass guitar and darting guitars giving it just a tint of Miami Vice sheen. 2016 single "Crazy" is up next with it's catchy hooks and counter melodies. It comes with just the right amount of good-time groove to bring a smile to any face. Things tone down "Robot Life" which is a creeping synth fest with wandering grooves and chunky drums.

Danielle Moore features with a fine vocal on a 'pure Rayko' style classic "Cosmic Pirate". Muscular basses and darting guitars being deployed to maximum effect. "Ocarina Of Time" is next with its layered complexity and stabby synth bass notes.

Tania Haroshika returns for the final trio of tunes on the album. Her fine vocals melding effortlessly with the slick production from our hero. First up is "HOT" which builds the music slowly adding layers of multi tracked guitars and real bass before breaking forth into song. "U" sneaks in from the leftfield with its quirky strings and arpegiated synth-clavi lines. The album closes with the (slightly) melancholic and pensive groover "Space Boat". Tania adding a brooding vocal over a pulsating juno style bassline.

A fine effort from our Madrid based hero who once again shows everyone what this "top-of-his-game" DJ-producer can do with some guitars and keyboards. Bravo

North Harbour Grooves returns with an EP by Black Caviar, full of classy sample house tracks to tear the club apart.

Having made her mark on Brazil's rich musical legacy with three best-selling albums to date, Rio's original nu-bossa queen returns with a tour de force of golden-era Brazilian soul music. From the spiritual swing of the early pioneers of modern Samba, to the dizzying hedonism of Brazil's eighties disco/boogie craze, Clareia is a life-affirming journey through the rich and varied sounds Sabrina Malheiros has been immersed in since she can remember. For her most up-lifting and danceable album to date, Sabrina has (as always) enlisted her father Alex Malheiros - bassist of samba jazz-funk legends Azymuth - and visionary London based producer Daniel Maunick (aka Dokta Venom), son of Incognito's Bluey.

Sabrina Malheiros' career has often been characterised by her place in the succession of those special Brazilian women who, with unmistakable talent and effortless grace, have encapsulated the magical energy of Brazil with their voices. Elis Regina, Astrud Gilberto, and Joyce all had it, and Sabrina Malheiros has it in spades.'(MOJO) With her debut album Equilibria in 2005, Sabrina arrived on a wave of instant acclaim, carving out her place as the pioneering voice of a new brand of Brazilian soul music, rooted in the traditions of samba and bossa, but with an edge of contemporary electronic sophistication. Sabrina's innovative nu-bossa sound would continue with the 2006 remix album 'Vibrasons' followed by sophomore 'New Morning' - declared the best album of summer 2008'(Evening Standard), before 2011's best-seller Dreaming.

Six years on, Sabrina returns with Clareia. Itmeans to clear, light, brighten or illuminate, which, after seeing Brazil and the rest of the world go through some very difficult times, is exactly what the writing of this album brought to my life.' All tracks are written by either Sabrina, or in collaboration with her father Alex Malheiros and producer Daniel Maunick. Written and recorded in Niteroi, Brazil, overlooking Gunabara Bay and Rio's beaches, mountains and forests, the music basks in its surroundings and sings of ecological beauty, peace and sanctuary. Echoing Sabrina's emphasis on clarity, Alex notes that the album's title represents an appeal to the minds of our civilization today, to clear our thoughts for good and for peace.'

This pursuit of clarity continued into the studio: It took a little longer than usual' notes Sabrina, which was good in way, as all my previous albums were recorded in rush and we usually had a week for pre-production and another week in the studio, which always gave me the feeling that I could do better. With this album it was different... we took our time.'

Sabrina's unmistakable voice has never sounded better. Packed out with high-octane swinging samba-soul, like the title-track and 'Salve O Mar', the album also features some bottom-heavy Brazilian boogie cuts, like rejoicing album opener 'Celebrar' which harks back to some of Marcos Valle's cult '80s disco output, and 'Sol Ceu E Mar' is a Tania Maria-esque future classic of scorching latin-funk. Mellower moments are found in 'Em Paz', on which Sabrina's beguiling harmonies find an anchor in the rhythmic acoustic guitar of Ze Carlos', who Sabrina heralds as being the best guitarist I have ever worked with'. Azymuth's keyboardist Kiko Continentino's deft Rhodes, piano, organ and synth playing, add ever more textures of distinctly Brazilian brilliance throughout, while tropical brass and flute arrangements on cool bossa-jazz movers 'Vai Maria' and 'Sandore', come from Brazilian saxophone legend Leo Gandleman, a man who has worked with everyone from Gal Costa to Gilberto Gil. The rhythm section combines Daniel Maunick's seamless drum programming and the organic polyrhythms of Brazilian percussion legend Jakare, all punctuated by Alex Malheiros' inimitable (occasionally slapped) jazz-funk bass, giving the album its irresistibly danceable pulse.

Set for release at the height of summer this year, Clareia is an intergenerational masterclass of Brazil's soulful spectrum, led by a pioneering voice of today's scene on the very top of her game. The up-lifting compositions, which take inspiration from the stunning natural beauty amongst which the album was made, and the call for the clarity of mind needed to preserve it, are enriched by this special team of some of Brazil's most established musicians. Like the sun breaking through tropical storm-clouds, Clareia is a vessel of joy, as Sabrina puts it simply, I hope Clareia brightens the soul of whoever listens to it. That's the spirit of this album.'

Released in 1983, Guy Cuevas' 12' Single "Obsession" is probably one of the ''best'' French Disco-Boogie records, enriched by Jean-Paul Goude's artwork for the cover. The A-side's Nassau mix by François K is a sensual and airy journey, while the B-side's London mix offers a more realistic approach that will please the more classic-listening disco enthusiasts. HUGE TIP!!

Patrick Topping returns to Hot Creations with his 'Taking Libz EP' and demonstrates why his reputation carries such weight with three special tracks that act as a master-class in how to create music that will consume dance floors.
First up is 'Brayed' which takes the listener on a loopy and enriching journey, whilst 'Howk' is a classic foot-to-the-floor number. Concluding the EP is 'Taking Libz', the title track that sees Topping firmly hold onto his crown with this unstoppable cut.
i-D Magazine described Patrick's style "that is characterized by punchy, chugging baselines that have become weapons in the sets of many a DJ." Started his career DJing at the club night Motion in Newcastle, he was quickly snapped up by Jamie Jones, for Hot Creations. Releases on the label and a residency at Paradise DC10 in Ibiza soon followed and 2014 saw him release 'Get Beasty', 'Forget' and 'Voicemail' featuring Green Velvet and concluded with a hattrick of awards including winning the DJ Mag Best Newcomer, Track Of The Season and Best Tune awards in their Best of British Awards.

Globe trotting crate digger Daniel T, exploded on to the scene with a string of releases after his amazing debut Tetrachromat on Young Adults a couple of years back. Daniel has been growing some serious gems in his laboratory. Two gems that have come to maturity and have been plucked for the Fahrenheit/Celsius EP on Cosmic Pint Glass records.Daniel has crafted something special in these two cuts. Beautiful, bouncy and positive tracks that work as well on the dance floor as in the soundtrack to a road trip.
After hearing them, CPG called in their top men Lauer and Jack Pattern for remix duties.

In house music circles, the name Jazz-N-Groove is spoken in reverential tones. The Florida duo Brian Tappert & Marc Pomeroy caught Frankie Knuckles' ear with their first co-production, and went on to release on classic labels including Suburban, Strictly Rhythm and AM:PM, as well as founding the seminal Soulfuric imprint. Best known as Jazz-N-Groove, they released under a variety of aliases, including Defected Records' first ever single, the UK Top 10 'Can't Get Enough' under their Soulsearcher guise. Now the relationship comes full circle, as they join the ranks of Defected's 'House Masters'.











CD2

Let's be frank: I'm a Prins Thomas fan boy. It is not a secret and therefore there is no reason to hide it awkwardly. So, when he asked me to write something about his second solo album (unmistakably called 'Prins Thomas 2'), the smart Norwegian knew that I wouldn't come up with any cruel things to say. The good thing is: even if you are not a fan boy or girl, you won't find any of those here. 'Prins Thomas 2' is stunning from start to finish. While its predecessor and his album works with Lindstrom took care of the krauty, rocky, brainy and 'real musician' side of things, the man from Oslo goes back to the starting point of his recording career: one man and his idiosyncratic way of making people dance.

The seven tracks on this LP or the eight on the mixed CD (including two bonus tracks) owe as much to the traditional methods of house or techno and extraterrestrial disco (I shipped around the 'S'-word here) as they disregard it and they are as characteristic to Thomas' studio space (I used the 'S'-word here) and his sound aesthetics as they are to his infinite will to surprise. Directly from the guts of the man behind Full Pupp, Internasjonal and a gazillion of tailor-made remixes, you get to hear joyful reminiscences of the late and great Arthur Russell in 'Tjukkas Pa Karussel', nasty drum jams like 'Flau Pappadans 1', 'Bom Bom' or the Perkmiks of 'Bobletekno' next to the sheer and untainted beauty that is 'Symfonisk Utviklingshemming'. The spirits of these recordings are light-hearted, sincere, a joy to listen and dance to and cumulate in an album that deserves the name. Whatever the train is called that has Prins Thomas at his helm, you better get a ticket.

The optimistic chug of 'Moon Steppin'' sets the tone and tempo for VOW's 4th offering by freak Angeleno, Secret Circuit. Side B: 'A Love Exotic', is a decadent disco jam from a strange planet, replete with alien voices and elegant bass hums. B2's 'Code Breaker' raps together samba sensibilities with eastern guitars on a bed of creamy pads to carry you thru the night . . . and then morning.

Dark men records arrives at last, just on a step below in terms of production quality than oraculo records (140 gr. vinyls), it raise with the aim to try to offer democratic prices to our supporters that can't afford all our references under oraculo label. the first dmr reference arrives from synths versus me that presents an advance of their 4th album on their usual sonic palette. this 4 tracks ep combines ethereal and surrounding voices with all the genres beloved by the band such as coldwave, minimal synth or post-punk. blind delon signs a drummy dope version of the tittle track. all tracks mastered and remastered specially for vinyl by eric van wonterghem at prodam studio (berlin).
