House News

Classy house tracks on this 10th release on Ojodeapolo, including stellar remixes by Altin Miller and Terrence Parker! Celebrating its tenth edition and 13 years of existence Ojodeapolo presents its founder Jorge C. with the EP titled ''Brother''. Soulful jazzy house tracks and cuts more towards a tech feel... Proper Detroit house cuts!! The mastering was done by Stefan Betke aka. Pole in the studio Scape in Berlin.

Luca Lozano spent the 2020 lockdown sharpening his tools, using the time off from traveling and DJing to re-center and re-vise. As the pace of life slowed, so did the BPMs and the Klasse Wrecks boss sought refuge in the distraction that the studio and the creative practice can offer. 'Lozano 2.0' may sound like the producer shifting down a gear, but probably only with the goal of preserving his energy until the world is ready to spin again.

Self Defence returns in full effect with New Yorks one and only DJ Duke's (of Sex Trax / Power Music Fame) "Summer Madness EP". Dj Duke had retired from the music front for a while, after he had about 300 records emerged after his "Blow Your Whistle" blew up in 1993 and during the past few years.

Yore returns with four funky and warm disco-ish house tracks that the Tokyo Connection boys Kez YM, Rodenion and No Milk drop like it's hot.

finally repressed !

We are delighted and honoured to welcome the mighty Dwayne Jensen to the Landed Records imprint.
Known as 'The Born Entertainer', Dwayne Jensen is one of the key artists who helped to shape the Detroit House sound and the new evolution of music we now call Techno.
A self-taught DJ, musician, producer and writer, the Detroit-born native started off as a Jazz drummer & percussionist before gaining respect worldwide as one of the true Detroit superstars.
We are also delighted that Geoff Pesche from Abbey Road Studios is back on the mastering and has worked his alchemy on the release.
A1: Ignition - Original Mix: Dwayne starts this timeless EP with a powerful and switched-on Deep Detroit number, rich with filtered pads and trademark drum sounds straight out of the 909.
A solid piece of modern House, this relentless, driving classic takes no prisoners.
B1: Deep Dive Dub - Original Mix: Dwayne really shows us what underground House music is all about with this moody, stirring number. Jazzy keys and funky bassline conspire with raw and tight percussion to produce a track which is off the fathom charts. A personal favourite of Mr Jensen's, this is a sure-fire crowd-pleaser guaranteed to warm up any dance floor.
B2: My People - Disco Nights Mix: Finishing the EP off with a bang, we are over-the-moon to be re-releasing the all-time classic, 'My People'. Originally released five years ago on a 12" compilation album, which only ever
made a small run, it's high time this track was given a full release. Fun, infectious and uplifting, if this isn't the track to get a party started, I don't know what is.
This solid EP mixes a delicious slice of past and present, and is a rare record not to be missed. Play it loud!

Pasta Boys & Albert Cabrera Remixes

You know Munk probably from the songs he did with James Murphy, Peaches, Asia Argento or one of many other indie disco tracks he released on his former label Gomma. Gomma now is sleeping and since Mathias Munk Modica started the Toy Tonics label with his friends Manu Kim & Mo Butschek he hasn’t released many things under that name. Instead has been playing keyboards, bass and drums on many tracks of other artists on the TT label. And of course has been building up the TT imprint from his new home in Berlin.
Now it’s summer and it felt right to put out a few balearic remixes reworks of Munk tracks. Beach party and daytime disco vibe. So here u get reworks of Munk’s friends Severino from Horse Meat Disco, Lauer, and Kai Alce from Detroit. Right for this summer.

French House Classic Must Have !

MR107
Mother Recordings continues to dominate the contemporary house landscape with a new one from NiCe7 that packs two hefty punches and a drum tool. DJ and production outfit NiCe7 are Italy-based Nicola Daniele and Cesare Marocco and they have been making big tunes on the likes of Suara, Noir Music, Cr2 and more.

First up, Groove Key is a big vocal tune that builds suspense on chunky drums. When the impassioned vocal breaks out, and the bass line joins the party, the club is sure to blow up.

Go Back is a slow burner that will have the floor in raptures. Disco house loops, funky bass riffs and lush claps all build and build to a frantic peak. After the cosmic breakdown the tune drops and makes a huge impact. These are three tasteful house bombs once more from Mother Recordings and the dope NiCe7 boys.




MR108
Almighty Berlin’s No. 1 House label Mother Recordings welcome hottest Italian export Brokenears to their latest team. With a phenomenal and breakthrough year in 2019 they kick off 2020 with their debut EP Friday Night at Nhan Solo ́s imprint Mother Recordings. Their musical output can also be find on labels such a Downtown Underground, DVINE Sounds or Too Many Rules.

„Friday Night“ is one for the ladies! A 6 minutes jam with a driven bass line and funky guitar licks rolling over a slick House groove. The powerful and gnarly repetitive female vocals add full and warm emotions to this dance floor burner.

Next is „Feel The Power, a party starting tune with big catchy vocals to sing along and an organic and warm bass line roller. Def a real peak time hands up track to make the crowd stomping and pumping. We say Feel The Power, Feel It!

MR103
MOTHER RECORDINGS warmly welcome new charming and talendet producer QUBIKO from Bari, Italy top their latest family. With a hot of releases on the likes of DFTD, Defected and Glasgow Underground he makes his debut on Berlin s finest House label Mother Recordings with a floor stomping two tracker EP.

Disco Musique is a massive House jam. Rolling and driving bass line, full of cheeky and cathcy vocal bits are layered over the top to get the place pumping and stomping.

Next up is Chicago a slamming House groover full of swing. Both tracks are proper House music right here. Enjoy and dance!





MR104
MOTHER RECORDINGS kicks off 2020 and make big moves with youngsters YINGYANG (UK) and REN PHILLIPS. Both linking up for some serious dance floor destruction on their new two track single. The pair have collaborated to great effect recently on the likes of Jacky & Friends and Solardo s Sola imprint.


Harlem Shake is lively house with sleazy bass, big synths and a bristling sense of party and atmosphere that really pumps any club. It has slick production values and a mad lead that is full of fun.


Flashback is a track that gets you ducking and diving with its turbo bass and great female vocals. The whole thing is a really characterful and explosive cut. This is a standout EP from this duo.

Listen to this if you want to hear last year's best tracks on Heist by Detroit Swindle, Alma Negra, Fouk, Nachtbraker, Nebraska and Parker Madicine in 1 big remix package. Release info: Round up part IV marks the end of year 4 of Heist Recordings and it might be our most varied release yet with some serious Afro funk from Switzerland, electronic soul from Italy, proper old school deep house from the UK and some Dutch guys adding a bit of swing to the package. For those unfamiliar with our annual concept release: The Round Up is a release where each artist that has released this year gets remixed by another Heist artist from that same year. We put all the names in a big hat, and draw straws. The result: 6 different remixes from 6 of the most intriguing original tracks of the year, in a deluxe 180 gram 2x12 pack. Fouk had the honor to rework one of the most euphoric tracks ever to come out on Heist and certainly one of Nachtbraker's most party-oriented tracks ever: Hamdi. They flipped the original into a rhodesy afro-tinged jam filled with lovely bleeps and fx and some great work on the keys. The DS remix of Parker Madicine's Heartbreaker is just as dreamy as it is driving, making full use of their synth-cave with an ever-evolving Moog bassline and some great pads on the Arp Odyssey. Alma Negra's Blacksoul remix of Nebraska's Big Plate Chicken takes the full B side and rightly so. The African drums, chants and looped sampling the original's bleeps give a great groove, but the track really comes alive when the bassline kicks in. The second 12 gives room for Nachtbraker's Swing mix of Can't Hold it, where he lets loose a trippy, sample heavy track with a dustier ambience than your grandmother's living room. Turn it over and you'll find Parker Madicine jazzing up Afrorleans and Nebraska throwing in a classic deep house touch on his remix for Fouk.

Deep down in the Sheffield underground lies the lair of DJ Steve, a subterranean studio fizzing with electricity. The 'Mainline' EP collects together otherwise forgotten demos from an unknown producer who reveals a deft talent for authentically made rave music. Clattering breakbeats and diva vocals sliced up within an inch of their lives sit next to sophisticated bleep 'n' bass and glassy-eyed pads. The inspiration of the Yorkshire dance music legacy and warehouse culture are obvious and leave the listener with only one question....when can I hear more?

ome killer cuts on this new special edition Klasse Wrecks release!! Long time friends Klasse Wrecks and Pelvis come together and release a joint venture. The Wrecks boys and Australian multi-disciplinary fashion/music/design-house had been orbiting each other for years with similar styles and taste (see Luca Lozano's 'King Blade EP' as proof). It only took the well timed and serendipitous sending of demos from mutual friend Roza Terenzi to seal the deal and concept of the split release and thus KWXPR001 was born. The 4 tracker is typical of both labels direction and even more so the signature style of Terenzi's bleepy and sharp-as-a-knife productions. The two original tracks 'Metal Glo' and 'Allstarz' are representative of Roza's mutant production style, taking in electro, breaks and futuristic atmospheres and show off the flair and confidence of the rising star from Perth.

The first trees trembled with constant little oscillations, junctions -disjunctions. A red light started blinking, half-buried in the snow. Deep in the Siberian forest, in the middle of the night, a girl with a Morse key, was running a shortwave transmitter off a diesel generator, sending messages toward the ionosphere.

Her hands moved closer together, without touching. The pulsations became almost innumerable, incredibly elongated, hollowed out in the middle, like little pinnacles, but she knew that someone, thousands of miles away, would decipher her message. In a dimly lit hotel room, in a subterranean vault, he would build the bridges, channel the frequencies. Forming, unforming, and re-forming the lines, the waves, and the words."

Doug Smith and Richard Payton, aka 95 North, are a house music production duo from Washington DC very well known from all the 90's house music lovers.
Their 90's discography is full of hits, including collaborations with Crystal Waters and Sabrynaah Pope, and many releases with labels like Strictly Rhythm, King Street, Slip 'n' Slide and Kult Records.
Let Yourself Go' was originally released in 1995, probably one of the best times of their activity in the house music scene.

Here comes the second Toy Tonics EP by Joel Holmes & Cody Currie.
The new Berlin based duo that works on a fresh musical style that combines Jazz, broken beats, Soul and NY House.
Joel, the American jazz pianist, is a former member of Roy Hargrove’s Grammy winning Jazz-Hop band and member 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 a Jazz town now!)
In Berlin Joel throws monthly jam sessions (the Urban Base Jam) where the creme de la creme of Berlins ex-pad jazz musicians meets up. 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 teamed up with Cody Currie: 24 year old London born talent, who already made waves in the house scene. Cody is known as a stylized producer, with a unique recognisable sound. Much of his craft was homed 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 instantly. All three have their roots in jazz music and share similar ideas about how dance-music should evolve in 2020

The world may have come to a halt these days. However, Todh Teri & his international bunch of merry pranksters never stop digging the rich Indian cinema music back catalogue. With Deep In India Volume 7, they have emerged & presented their best work for a globally keen audience.
The first on this record - Sampadan 22 - is an italo cut, reminiscing the glittery disco divas of the 80s & beyond. The disco fever continues with Sampadan 23 where brand new disco prankster La Jawab reworks the quintessential Indian cinema classic track - with an ever cascading French touch.
Todh Teri slows down the platter with Sampadan 24, and turns up the acid on a deeper interpolation of a 90s Bollywood chartbuster. And finally with Sampadan 25, Deep in India repeat offender Kone Kone flips nostalgic Indian dreams into head nodding boom bap beats.
Brand new music for a brand new world - waiting to fill your bodies, minds & soul - with that funky goodness that you need.

MOTHER RECORDINGS is one of the most reliable big hitting labels in the game and now they’re back with a new bomb EP from SHAF HUSE - „Biday“.

With heavy support from the likes of The Martinez Brothers, Seth Troxler and Marco Carola, Milan based producer/DJ Shaf Huse has really made his mark on the likes of Avotre, Roush, Sola and more. Here working with „Biday“ he cooks up another storm.

The title track has shooting laser synths and airy house loops sucking you in, while a snaking bass line roams about down low. It’s brisk, full of energy and designed to sweep up the floor and take it to the next level. Add in yelling vocals, edgy drum fills and explosive chords and the whole thing is supersized and sure to explode in the clubs.
Reign Of Tech is another bomb destined to get feet moving on the floor, with a chugging baseline and slick vocals.

More dancefloor diynamite flying out the MOTHER nest!!

Our Kiwi brother DILBY was on fire in 2018. He delivered 2 EP's on MOTHER RECORDINGS and managed to secure back to back Top 10 hits with each release. Well, if this new EP is any indication, 2019 is going to be even bigger!

Up first is „Rio Grande“. A club destroying dance floor heater that features DILBY ́s signature drum filled tribalism on top of a punchy, grooving sub bass. Of course it wouldn't be a DILBY jam without a catchy sing-along vocal which brings even more ethnic flavour to this hedonistic afro workout!

On the flip we are treated to an energetic house bomb titled „Keep On Dancing“. This is a powerful club record which gives off a distinct late 90's vibe with it's filtered disco groove and tough analog drum programming. A deep, warm bass line rolls heavily across the low frequency as loopy vocal hooks and crunchy vocal shots keep the dance floor locked in as the energy erupts in the break.

Simon Hinter – another gem? We think so! This german music freak has been doing music for many years with some splendid releases on smaller labels like Phil Holland plus being picked for on Osunlade mix CD, but it just recently got bigger with his release on the ever hot Freerange label. Why we like his sound? It’s raw and it got funk! Filtered loops, chunky basslines, catchy melodies? For sure! All 3 orignal tracks are pure Simon Hinter stylee and to give you the extra bonus, Wolf and Quintessentials buddy KRL gets back in action with a fab remix. Yes, we all wanna make love!

Belgian imprint Muzik & Friendz returns with the last release of 2019 featuring a 4 track various artist package with Joss Moog, Yusuke Yamamoto, Peletronic & Jakobin and Platzdasch & Dix.

With the forcus set on the deeper vibes this release kicks off with the A-side package of PlatzDasch & Dix’s ‘Pointillist’ a mellow workout sprinkled with melodies and deep vibes, followed by Peletronic & Jakobin ‘Etta Jamz’ a deep and soulful cut with a real dancefloor groove.
The B-side see’s Yusuke Yamamoto’s ‘Kick Ass’ combine an hypnotic pad, bumpy bass and punchy vocals with a wink to the old school, while Joss Moog ‘Oazar’ shows off his exquisite production skills with a grooving and bumping cut.

Luca Lozano spent the 2020 lockdown sharpening his tools, using the time off from traveling and DJing to re-center and re-vise. As the pace of life slowed, so did the BPMs and the Klasse Wrecks boss sought refuge in the distraction that the studio and the creative practice can offer. 'Lozano 2.0' may sound like the producer shifting down a gear, but probably only with the goal of preserving his energy until the world is ready to spin again.

Raumakustik should be a notion - at the latest after their successful
single "Glaub Mir Doch" this year. The duo from Dresden, Germany
was always on the go in 2011 with several releases and remixes for
Labels like Deich Records, Klang Gymnastik or Keimzelle. And right
before 2012 they strike back with "Traumtanzen". This is pure
dancefloor pleasure and already approved within the last months. To
complete the label debut of Grain Audio Mister Marcapasos (Toka
Beatz, Housesession, Dusted Decks) delivers a real house remix to get
you back to the good old days.

Following our first BK Club Beats remix EP is a Gerd Janson solo affair, an assortment of tracks that
reinterpret and reimagine the fundamental component of Jacques Renault’s last album.

It’s called Gerd Janson’s Jacque’d Toolbox for a reason. We’ll let you use your imagination and figure out what it is. Little bit of something for everyone here, though—disco, house, dirty beats.

Empty Editions presents the debut 12” from mysterious electronic outfit Taibach. Conceptualized by ABCs, Taibach has emerged from the shadows as a blunted East-Asian historical consciousness failing to return home after becoming a stranger to itself. With a nom de guerre which references both the infamous Slovenian proto-industrial group Laibach and their mythologized homeland of Taiwan, Taibach restages the classic thematics and aesthetic strategies of industrial music for a contemporary moment in which shifting balances of power between east and west herald new hegemonies and exhume old grievances. Their martial approach to electronics follows in a brood of decidedly cryptic underground music: drawing on the sound of classic industrial bands, early 90s techno, and more recent developments at the intersection of noise and rhythmic music. Conditions of escalating ethno-nationalism, imperialist ambition and decay, and historical revisionism within the Sinosphere provide the backdrop for the band’s grimly expansive theatrics, which hint at the possibility of ideological resistance through tactical sign play and subversive affirmation. Acting as a necessary corrective to a commercially bloated and self-satisfied Asian cultural sphere, Taibach embraces futile Taiwan-based nationalism by celebrating the seldom-criticized reactionary tendencies of the region as a document of its history and its current political impasses.

Taibach’s debut LP contains a rawness and intensity that excels in club contexts, spilling over into more varied strands of experimental and underground music. While the music itself is primed for big room sound systems, the omnivorous use of guitar, effects pedals, and sampling techniques alongside stalwart drum programming also allow for more intimate listening—soundtracking both club depravity and solitary walks in equal measure. The kosmische proto-electro bite of Side A opener “Spicy Test” furnishes a terse blueprint for Taibach’s aural vocabulary: skeletal drums brought deliberately into the red provide a burnt, metallic underpinning to the record’s five tracks. Across the LP, rhythm is complemented by asymmetric washes of tape hiss, feedback, and filtered voices which ride alongside the drum patterns. Tracks “You Are Shit!” and “Enemy Inside” carve out wide expanses for filtered chords and sequenced synths to reflect against uncoiling rhythms. Astute listeners will discern a long engagement with UK, European, and US dance music from the 1990s up to the present in their inspired ability to set the drum machine against a distinctly East Asian industrial backdrop—channeling the sound of a dystopic future of armed conflicts and ground invasions where the hastily built edifices of Confucian capitalism resurface as detention centers and fallout shelters. The LP culminates in “Rocket (Live),” an opus of live sound system music that carries with it the hot heat of a subterranean, neon-lit industrial catacomb filled with vampiric club-goers. As guitar noise billows out over a militant rhythm that recalls everything from darkwave to Container (or Alan Vega & Martin Rev’s early Suicide records) the track builds into an assailing polyrhythm that showcases a dancefloor severity at the height of their transportive powers.

Inside the sleeve is a photocopied insert of a watercolor painting depicting an anonymous man hanging from a streetlamp. A sign with the Chinese characters 漢奸 (“traitor”) hangs around his neck. Taipei 101 Tower looms in the distance, once the tallest building in the world—a conspicuous symbol of Taiwan’s American-style capitalist power—now shrouded in the fog of war. Absorbing the anxiety of these times, Taibach’s debut provides an anxious soundtrack looking for the old military bunkers underneath spreading skyscrapers and machines chorusing the rising tides of global unrest.

Ready for next drive?
For this second release Badam Music open the doors to long time house music lovers Broz Inc. Parisian duo brings all his creativity
and maturity with an original track called Body Fresh. Dancefloor weapon that will instantly sounds like a classic to your hears! On B
side US legend Johnny Fiasco is on remix duty and show all his talent and delivers a more acid oriented version definitely inspired
by Chicago sound. A great dancefloor record, essential must have!

Rotterdam based 25 Places are back on Dirt Crew with a bang! since their "Love More" release in 2015 the boys have been hard at work and have just released an EP for Chez Damier on his "Prescription Records" sub label "Balance". The bounce begins with "Party In The Hills" hosting a huge kick, loopy Rhodes, squelching bass, Ragga flavoured vocal and squeaky lead, it's straight up good times right from the get go. An infectious groove on this one! "Closing Title Song" heads into deep soaring territory, it's forward house beat and pulsing synth lead intertwine with loose tropical percussion and a rhapsodic horn hook. On the flip we have Laurence Guy who does not really need an introduction anymore, the man has been all over the place since this years releases on "Cin Cin", "Outplay" and the imminent "Church" where he dropped two big EP's "Bamboo" and "Kojak". Here he takes on the soulful deep Chicago House of 25 Places and turns it into a 90's breakbeat acid galore of ecstasy tingled UK House. 25 Places wrap up the rave session with "Backyard Stories", a raw and bouncing, bass face inducing jam. Uplifting and dirty in one stroke, its thumping kick and feverous melodies make it impossible not to move.

A journey into melodies and harmonies
We have landed back in South Africa again to join forces with the rising star Bevan Godden once again for a project that has soulful written all over it.

“His music defies predictable electronic pigeonholing” – VICE French-Canadian producer and live act Christophe Dubé, aka CRi, is a dance music star in the making. Following in the footsteps of fellow Montréalers Jacques Greene and Kaytranada, CRi has risen through the city’s bubbling scene in recent years and now reveals his debut album ‘Juvenile’. A self-taught college dropout, CRi caught the attention of tastemaker press with early single ‘Rush’ and his 'Someone Else' EP. 'Rush', accompanied by an award-nominated music video, and 'Someone Else' picked up a nomination for Electronic Release of The Year at the 2018 Juno Awards (Canada’s equivalent to The Grammy’s). “I’m just a pizza delivery guy that said fuck it…” CRi’s sound blurs light, dream-like melodies with textured production - capturing the energy of the dancefloor, and the nostalgia of the morning after. Christophe draws inspiration from his musical heroes Moby, St Germain and Daniel Bélanger (who appears on the album), along with more contemporary influences ranging from Caribou and Dark Sky to Jacques Greene and Actress.

Red Vinyl

Almost 10 years already….Just a short moment away from its tenth anniversary, the cutting-edge Label La Belle Records unveils the second part of its One Night Stands collection.

If the first part portrayed very warm, tropical tones, this second opus feels more like the end of a party or the morning after, with a selection of tracks at a crossroad between slo-mo, synth-pop, lo-fi, ethnic groove and nu-disco like few others have done before.

This is something you've never heard before! All thanks to the insatiable digging from the master curator and co-founder of the label, Antoine Harispuru aka Golden Bug.

From Rome to Bruxelles via Paris and Vilnius, this second edition hits hard with names like Get A Room!, Rodion, Ellis Island (a world collaboration between the Italians Bawrut and Hot Spell), Rodion, Front de Cadeaux, Claap! and some other electronic gems.

Liam Doc AKA Liam Docherty is next up on Denis Sulta’s Sulta Selects Silver Service label.

Liam grew up in London before moving back to the family hometown of Glasgow at 14. Growing up, his schooling in house and techno was on the floor of the Sub Club’s legendary Saturday night session with residents Harri & Domenic.

After he started producing house and techno, his edit “Voices of East Harlem” caught Sulta’s attention, who championed it in his sets to awesome effect. Liam is the resident at Wednesday house and techno night RARE at Sub Club. He also started his own quarterly warehouse parties in Glasgow, called Cyberfreq. After hours illegal raves at first, after a run in with a Scottish tabloid they went legit and started programming them at Glasgow’s The Berkeley Suite club. In addition to releasing on SSSS, he’s founded his own label Eyeangle Records (releases from Kamus and Lobec) as well as sub-label Roux Records and released on Huntley & Palmers.

‘East Coast Edits’ (coming on 12” and digital) is a collection of ecstatic dance floor filtered edits, sure to give the floor at the Sub Club and beyond a workout.

The second release is coming with 4 new-talented players: Embezzlement Society, Daisuke Kondo, LB aka Labat and The Game crew. Following their various artist model, each producer delivers an organic crate based track, from blunted hip-hop to jackin' house bangers with jazzy soulful grooves.

Welcome to 2018 !!!

We at MOTHER are super excited to welcome back DILBY, our homie from New Zealand who is now based in Berlin, for a banging new EP.

THE PATH is a chunky, driving slab of house that has been tearing up dance floors since it hit our inbox. The beat is constructed of big analog drums fused with ethnic percussion and tribal vocal chops then underpinned by a heavy sub bass. But, the real star of the show here is that flute hook, so catch every time!

Rounding out the EP is KICKIN IT, a funky grooving house weapon that is sure to bring smiles to the face of everyone on the floor! Dilby takes a modern house aesthetic and fuses it with a catchy throwback piano riff and ultra memorable vocal hook to deliver true hands in the air bomb.

Italian duo, Giacomo Godi and Emiliano Nencioni, better known as SUPERNOVA, debut their first MOTHER RECORDINGS release with their latest two-tracker EP, 'The Joy'.

Kicking off with their headline track, 'The Joy' pits together a hard-hitting house beat and walking bassline against a set of dark warbling synth sprays. Here, the duo truly show off their impressive work with the synthesizer, juxtaposing soulful acapella gospel licks with a bundle of morphing synth lines that effortlessly rumble and groan throughout.

Fat kicks, trashy hi's and spacey synths open up 'Reflections', lighting up the dancefloor from the very start. Here, Supernova step it up a notch, flipping their dark range of warbling synth lines into a set of warm and dreamy funk pads that endlessly purr underneath a sturdy bassline. A range of elusive vocal howls and cheeky funk melody licks polish the track off around the edges, intensifying in all the right places to create some satisfying releases.

Footjob strikes back after a short release break with concentrated power. Tilman and Phonk D join forces on the „Couple Therapy“ EP with four crisp house tracks, from peaktime bangers to dreamy after-hour tracks.

Cropper has returned to Blah Blah Blah Records to follow up his world wide smash 'Forever'. Since marking BBB's tenth release in 2013 'Forever' has been snapped up by Universal, racked up half a million plays worldwide and played on Radio 1 by Pete Tong. To some such success may seem common place, or not that remarkable, however for artist and label these were very proud moments, not to mention moral boosting confirmations in their personal belief in the music they were presenting. A belief that has brought them back together for one more record. 'Sunlight FT. A.Z' is a hauntingly beautiful record with live double bass, searching strings, Jazz like keys and a whispy yet penetrating vocal all conspiring to dazzle the senses with its thought provoking beauty. Not your typical club record, but we're hoping that shouldn't matter. Following Sunlight is 'Shade' and like the title suggests there is a commonality as much as there is a stark difference between the two. An African spoken word sample sets the tone, as crisp weighty drums groove another 3am curveball straight into your record box. To be heard, not pontificated about with flowery words. Rounding out the package is a remix from the rather enigmatic and elusive Hackman. Hackman takes things down a slightly more linear route as he chops and reorganises the main elements to compliment his own engaging melodic interpretation of the source material.

a selection of 4 great house tracks on 1 record !!

Volker.live ’s debut and final release
“My Love Will Set You Free” Final release? We see the question mark popping up over your head. Well yes, these four tracks are a time capsule, a historic cache which takes you back to one hot summer of 2019. When this care-free boy band formed and made it their goal to climb up the world’s stages to play an all-hardware live set & have f.u.n. while doing so. This endeavor went swimmingly. Festival gigs were pocketed and crowds intrigued. The stand-out track of their gigs was always “My Love Will Set You Free”, an acid-house stomper with uplifting, yet melancholic vocals from their friend ÆN.
Friends and neighbors were quick to re-interpret the song and the idea of a record took shape.
Lehult’s Lucky Charmz propels the listener into the void by upping the acidity. Closing in on a playtime of 10 minutes, we’re readily giving up our sense for time and space. Whirring drum hits meet feedbacking tape delay while riding the rock solid bass line.
Erobique liked the song so much, he quickly drew up two versions of his own. His “Disko Mix” oozes that saccharine, danceable magic mélange of days past. Warm keys, hand claps, and Aen’s intimate voice are stirred into an exquisite cocktail. You know that Carsten Meyer would never forget the umbrella on top. He’ll keep the cherry though.
The “Black Velvet Mix” closes the curtains for a slow dance. This is personal, it’s just between you and the song. Sub rosa.
In the meantime, Volker.live decided to follow separate paths of their adventure, but everyone agreed to release these songs into the world. May they serve as a reminder of what can be created out of care-free energy that’s driven by a deep connection to music. Please check out their other musical undertakings as Echoel and Goodmemory.live .

The dynamic duo of ROTCIV and Das Komplex are back on Luv Shack Records to finish off what they started with the "Magic Silk #1 EP" in 2019.

Das Komplex' "Jak Mo?na Nie Mówi? O Pesymi?mie" (wich translates to "how can you not speak about pessimism") is boasting with psychedelic effects, polish spoken words and a plethora of funky disco tropes, all cumlinating in a 10 minute super disco jam.

Hot on the heels comes ROTCIV´s remix of Das Komplex' "Silk" from the first Magic Silk EP. The "Transmix" comes with a driving 4tothefloor groove and an italo-esqe synth bassline at the heart of the mix, while still maintaining the pittoresqe atmosphere of the original with layers of heavily mangled effects.

On "Space Explore", ROTCIV constructs a complex slow burner, setting up an eerie atmosphere of digital soundbytes, vocal snippets, ghostly strings and fat synth pads on top of a cosmic disco groove.

Lastly, Das Komplex remixes "Your Highness", adding a classic disco groove with lots of analog

The Jaxx are back. Released for the first time on vinyl, Basement Jaxx 'The Singles' spans everything from the proto punk garage of early hit 'Flylife' to the Motown monster that is 'Good Luck', taking in worldwide smashes like 'Red Alert', 'Where's Your Head At', 'Rendez Vu' and 'Romeo'.

Where most greatest hits albums fall down at least once there can be no argument that this collection delivers the bangers and nothing but.

Basement Jaxx 'The Singles' is both a timely reminder of just how much the Jaxx have turned dance music inside out and the nonchalant ease with which they continue to drop new ever more exciting sub-cultural car crashes on airwaves and dancefloors around the world.
