House News

Glad to have Oliver Schories back on 8bit after his label debut 'Maia' from early summer 2018. With a #2 deep house chart success on beatport this was clearly a brilliant start and we are definitely on repeat with these 2 gems.

The series 2 of NewYork House Edits. Monchan edited 90's NY Garage House from the legendary record label & Shop "Vinylmania".
“Vinylmania" Owner Charlie Grappone opened the Vinylmania’s doors in 1978. He opened the store with a sparse selection of Rock records
but after crowds from the Paradise Garage started showing up he realized his market was with the house heads. Vinylmania quickly became the goto spot for house in NYC eventually spawning a record label under the same name and it’s legacy began. Sadly Vinylmania closed its doors in 2007 after almost 3 decades of business.

Moxie's On Loop imprint presents the debut EP from Avon Blume, 'Slowly Diving'. A mature three tracker sure to please club goers on the dance floor, and home listeners alike. All three tracks boast undeniable groove & musicality, with solid production to match.

Joakim Cosmo is back with another record crammed with wonky and weird numbers. It's obvious right from the start that Joakim Cosmo has a passion for machines and it seems he's having a jolly good time churning out his own version of Chicago music from them. Fissens lockvral is the kind of track that makes me want to grow a big ol' moustache and join a motorcycle gang of leather freaks. Tough drums are being propelled forward by an even tougher bassline while FX sounds and bleeps are being ignited and thrown into a whirlpool of echoes. Gagarin is pretty close to the Norwegian disco we have danced to so many times but with distinct Chi-town influences. That cool Spanish voice sample that reveals itself in the break makes me think of Ramirez. Brugte Boner is going to set some dancefloors on fire! Perfectly shuffled drum machines with a ba-dom-dom voice bobbing along with them. I think this is what Fettburger refers to as basketball house is Cosmo is keeping it well rejuvenated. Vocoder nonsense is my best kind of nonsense and that is what Sabdoo Chimaa is all about AND then on top of that Joakim is jazzing it out on the keys. WHAT?! Before you've had time to contemplate that Mr Cosmo has already sent you on the next trip. This time to froggy space. How do you like that, huh? Sci-fi synths glide past like shooting stars while you are floating happily in the Milky Way bumping into echoed messages from the final frontier. CAN. NOT. WAIT. TO PLAY. THIS. OUT! / Yours truly, Sahpo Ripasso

The Danse Club label is fast becoming an essential deep house outlet thanks to a solid stream of originals and remixes from artists old and new alike including Cherie Lee, The Burrell Brothers and label bosses Brodanse.

Here, said bosses team up with vocalist Cari Golden and resurgent beatsmiths Groove Armada for a huge new track that has already been road tested in Ibiza and has drawn all the right reactions.
Groove Armada of course are right at the sharp end of the house world once again having sunken themselves back in the underground with many gigs in Ibiza this summer as well as releases on labels like Hypercolour. LA's singersongwriter and vocalist Cari Golden, meanwhile, has long been lending her voice to house cuts from the likes of DJ T and Fur Coat, and here lays down another anthemic line that helps this track stand head and shoulders above the competition.

'Sweat' (Club) is a big bouncy house track with neon synth stabs, raw and thumping kick drums and icy hi hats that all coalesce into a barnstorming peaktime track designed for maximum destruction.
It's simple but effective, economic but efficient in terms of design and keeps your attention locked for seven minutes of inescapable house tension. The deep version is less rigid and regimented, there is more swing in the drums and percussion and a golden glow of warmth radiates from within. The vocal here is also smoother and creamier, making its way into your heart as the waify chords add more layers of sonic richness.
This is one for sundown rather than handsup moments and perfectly encapsulates the forward facing house vibe the Danse Club label embodies.

Pittsburgh Track Authority is back. After a five year hiatus from releasing music--during which time PTA maintained focus on expanding the catalog of their labels Pittsburgh Tracks, Love What You Feel, Machine Age Records, and Sleeve -- Preslav and Adam are back with a rejuvenated outlook on music and a renewed sense of purpose. The new album titled PA System is a collection of house and techno written to serve as a document of the past 18 months.

The next MOTHER RECORDINGS sees label head NHAN SOLO and long time MOTHER artist DILBY team up with the biggest vocalist in house music right now, JEM COOKE, to deliver their smash record HIDE U!
These boys have worked together on several projects in the in the past, but we thought it was time they get back in the studio to bring some more heat for the dance floor.

JEM COOKE has been on fire recently, collaborating on huge tracks with CamelPhat, Hot Since 82 and Cristoph so we knew she would make the perfect addition to the project.
The three artists have built a timeless club weapon with tough drums, driving synth work and an exhilarating vocal performance that is sure to turn heads. They set out to deliver a main room anthem for the summer and, by all accounts we have to say, the results are a phenomenal success!
This record is full of tension and release which sends chills of emotion down your spine when it drops... hands up, reach for the lazers!

The club slaying MOTHER RECORDINGS has another mighty new EP up its sleeve here with two big tunes from Spanish titan Piem.

PIEM is a driving force behind the Barcelona scene, curates the MOODs party at W Hotel in London, and releases slick house on Relief, Crosstown Rebels, Superfett Records and plenty of others.

He kicks off here with MESSING Ft. RION S, a playful house tune laden with great vocals from RION S. The grooves swing low and the chords and strings add soul and colour. It's the sort of tune that cannot fail to tempt people to the floor.

LA MADRUGADA is then a churning tech cut with tribal vocal chants and chunky drums all getting you into the beat and keeping you there. This is another winning effort from all involved.




MR102
Our good friend DILBY ́s last solo EP on MOTHER RECORDINGS was huge on all fronts. Dominating charts and streaming as well as being served up by everyone one from Claptone to Boysnoize at the biggest clubs and festivals around the globe. It goes without saying that we are excited for more of the same with his latest dancefloor delivery.

HOLD OUT opens up the EP all guns blazing with a chunky drum groove, a big piano riff and a powerful female vocal. This energetic house anthem is guaranteed to lift the roof off any club!

TEMPERATURE RISING is another house bomb with warm analogue synths and a hooky vocal that builds and builds until the track reaches boiling point. The tough beat and punchy bass is balanced perfectly with the lush warmth to create a truely timeless record.

MOTHER RECORDINGS has built a amazing relationship and great connection to
Latin America. The latest signing from the region is fresh Ecuadorian talent
ORDONEZ, resident of the world famous Lost Beach Club. THE SPELL EP
is definitely one of the biggest releases of 2015 so far, which says a lot as it has been
an amazing year so far!
THE SPELL
Smooth grooving percussion pushes this track along while ORDONEZ weaves in the
melody from a gritty Rhodes organ and adds to the magic with spiracles of electric
piano. But then, the seductive vocals come to the front and the whole track opens up
to become one of the catchiest tunes of the year. The drop after the long break is
just... no words can describe it! House Music all night long, yeeeah!
HOW YOU DOING
Next up is a funky sample-lead house burner. Nice earthy drums and a catchy guitar
riff offer a warm vibe for smiles and laughter on the dance floor. ORDONEZ clearly
has a very creative mind and this is demonstrated here with his intricate and creative
use of sampling and arrangement. Another very strong offering from the newest
member of the Mother Recordings family.

SUPERLOVER - the man who brought us Steam' - one of last year's biggest
tracks on MOTHER RECORDINGS - is back in full force this summer with a
new two-track EP. The Berlin born and based producer has brought us
another solid release that is perfect for the outdoor festival season. The
tracks LOVE FLUTE' and LOVE MACHINE' bring together melodic deep
house and disco for sunny, funky grooves and peaktime pleasure.

LOVE FLUTE' radiates with warm summertime joy to get the floor grooving.
A hypnotic, melodious hook keeps the wave of love rolling. Its positive,
anthem-like character gives it big hit potential.
LOVE MACHINE' has a super catchy guitar riff and funky house beat. The
tension mounts as vocals chime in for an ecstatic embrace of love and
happiness, driving the pumping energy that is infectious from the start.

Club of Jacks come correct with the third and final installment of their RAW EP series - serving up another vinyl 4 tracker of essential House & Garage grooves primed for the dancefloor.

Track 1 'Memories' opens the EP with creamy Rhodes pads leading into a pulsing deep house groove flecked with soulful vocal lines, jazzy piano arps and filtered sax riffs.

The second track 'All I Think About' is a soulful groove built around an emotive vocal hook and chugging analog pads for that end of the night vibe.

On the flip side, 'Pressure Sound' switches style to a bassline roller with vintage reggae vocals, swinging garage drums and dub fx combining into a bouncy party starter.

Finishing off the EP is 'Bug-a-Do', a tough and bumpy hybrid acid-garage-house banger. Filtered synth pads merge with a 303 and M1 piano line - a hands in the air new school / old school workout.

All tracks are produced and mixed by Club of Jacks and made to be played loud wherever you like to jack your body!

Congratulations to NHAN SOLO and MOTHER RECORDINGS on reaching their 100th release.

Time flies when you're having fun! Now is the time to look back at the success of the last years, which have included a couple of overall number one records. The label has enjoyed signing and growing together hand in hand with some of the biggest names in the scene like Mat.Joe, Superlover, De La Swing, Illyus & Barrientos. A label from friends for friends! The tracks have been remixed and edited by Claptone, Purple Disco Machine and Audiojack to name some hightlights.

And here we are now, MOTHER 100 delivers two special and huge remix packages. Part 1 includes DANNY HOWARD and PHIL WEEKS on remix duty, enjoy! First comes DANNY HOWARD, BBCR 1 host, tastemaker and English gentleman. He serves a peaktime banger with punchy drums, crisp percussions and melancholic chords. Perfect setting and arrangement of the signature voice of ROBERT OWENS, pure goosebumps!

Next is our favourite Parisian dude PHIL WEEKS, who does what he does best! Loopy, groovy and funky MPC tracks to make your rump shake! This interpretation of „Funky People“ is more on the dubby side with strip down vocals, repetitive funky bass line, full of effect and swing, yeah. We Love it!


This amazing 8min interpretation of real House Music of ROBOSONIC & FERRECK DAWN – Let Live ft. BIG SHUG of one of the most humbled and true person in music business Mr. ROGER SANCHEZ.
Last but not leaset the Italian stallion PIERO PIRUPA, who already had succesful releases on Elrow, Kaluki, Realm and of course his own imprint Nonstop Records serves a peaktime 4 to the floor remix of alltime classic „So High“ by MAT.JOE. Go out, play it loud and proud!

In the special occasion of our 10th birthday we felt that we had to create something really memorable, bringing together in two vinyl some of the most influential artists who took part in the making of our history and some new ones, yet prominent and successful. All of them had a fascinating mission to accomplish honouring the concept of ‘Jazzy’ which is the notion and approach set ten years ago as the fundament of Apparel Music and we can plainly say that they’ve won the challenge, brightly. They produced eight stunning tracks which represent an ideal declination of the requirements you need to enter the AM family. The roster of artists behind this record perfectly represents the international soul of the label and very much speaks for itself, from our head honcho Kisk to ‘The Voice’ Robert Owens, our longtime family members Ivano Tetelepta & Euge`ne Latumeten, the Swedish Salary Boy, the great Tuccillo with his recognisable style, the American Fred P who’s music is the best introduction of his abilities and needs no further presentation, to the youngster Chevals with his bright talent. The final side then is the debut’s side with the iconic Art Of Tones who’s career as a pioneer of dance music speaks for itself and last but not least the marvellous duo Marcel Vogel & Tim Jules, also new to the AM family, who’s baptism fulfils our high expectations. A list of virtuosos worth an All-Star Game! The opening track is ‘Your Face’ by Kisk & the supreme and unrivalled voice of Robert Owens, with a bunch of great musicians who took part in the creative process: the Cuban Gendrickson Mena (trumpet, Saxhorn), Max Lagana` (Bass) and Nate Lotz who recorded some grooves on the drums. In A1 resides the concept of Jazzy; the dialogue between man and machine which is still, in the modern era, the perfect equation to produce music. Starting from some old, dusty samples here’s surely one for the records, fully embodying Kisk’s approach to music production. A2 is ‘Hearme’ by Tuccillo. The Neapolitan born but Spanish adopted is a veteran of the Apparel Music’s family, that’s why we’re so happy to have him leaving his mark once again on a special occasion like this Bday. His track perfectly epitomises his sensuality, profoundness and sensitivity as a producer, being capable of expressing through his music some of the distinctive characteristics that AM aims to communicate. The Deep soul of Fred P comes out in all its strength in his track ‘From The Other’ kicking off B-side. We're delighted to have the American producer on board as his first appearance on AM leaves no doubt about his huge talent as a music maker, while B2 is an Ivano Tetelepta & Euge`ne Latumeten’s affair with ‘Where Have You Been?’ and we’re overjoyed to greet again the pair who’s back on the label with a really special production. The dreamy pads and the punchy rhythm section helped by the smooth vocals are yet again the logotype of the Dutch duo. The second vinyl begins with Salary Boy and his ‘Piano House’. The London based Swede's production is the perfect way to start the C side with its classic yet modern touch. Another gem to add to the collection. Chevals then takes over in C2 with ‘All I Wanna Do Is Love You’ and we’re so happy to see a skilled guy like him being recognised in the music business, as sometimes a label's purpose is just to be the perfect filter of someone else's visions. His track is another tangible example of his qualities. Then, to kick off the D side we got Art Of Tones with ‘Never Sleep’, a fabulous funky groove with a compulsive rhythmical attitude where the Parisian House icon displays his musical genius in a track genuinely crafted to fit the mood of the Apparel 10th birthday. We’re really proud to have a guy like Ludovic on board for this project as he’s been eager to join our gang since day one and that’s the perfect occasion. Is up to Marcel Vogel & Tim Jules to complete the masterpiece with the last brushstroke which is an experimental and modern tribal beat with masterly arranged keys and superb percussions. The sound research of this track is quite astonishing and, in its whole, is what may be the loop you’d play over and over again to open or close a mesmerising DJ set! Finally a very special and important mention for the artist and friend of the AM’s clan Marco Fantini, a true visionary who blessed us with the chance of choosing amongst some of his stunning artworks for the covers of the record. Each production, indeed, has a different and dedicated piece that reflects its mood. Thanks Marco for having such an important role in this creative process! The record will be out in July so brace yourselves for what is evidently the highlight of our year and... let’s blow thee 10 candles together, as always, as a family, spreading love for good music!

Ibadan announces the release of a new remix by Dennis Quin of Kerri Chandler & Jerome Sydenham ft. Troy Denari - You're In My System on vinyl in December, 2019.

Quin, a self-professed house addict and die-hard Kerri Chandler fan since the early nineties, had been searching for a new vocalist to work with. He turned to Simon Birkumshaw, label manager and A&R of Chandler's Madhouse Records, who recommended Troy Denari, the original vocalist of the classic Ibadan track "You're In My System". When Denari revealed that had just resung the vocals, Quin was inspired to remix the track.

Quin's aim with this remix was to update the track for his sets and give it contemporary production values in line with his current digital sets. "It's always tricky to put your hands on a huge record like this," he says. "It's a legendary track that everyone knows, so I was extremely careful in terms of mixing, timing, and all the rest." The result is a modern version of the classic that is very true to the original. At the same time, Quin makes his mark by bringing his own drum and percussion into the mix.

The remix versions cover all the bases for various digital distribution formats, including atmospheric dub, club and instrumental mixes, plus a special three-minute edit for Spotify.

Working together for the first time, the members of the musical team were excited to exchange their ideas. "Troy, Kerri, Jerome and I have gained so much out this intense collaboration. It has developed into a deep friendship that is all about house music, good vibes and pride in our achievements. Each of us is fulfilled by our individual roles in this project. I'm really proud to be part of this family."

Christine Pedersen, managing director of Ibadan Records, is excited about Quin's first release on the label. "It's always a pleasure to welcome new and talented collaborators into the fold. And I love the new vocal. Troy's singing brings a fresh spin to the track."

Pitto is not one to flood the scene with new music considering he’s only released two ep’s in the last three years. He takes the time to let ideas evolve and it’s clearly noticeable on last year’s EP on ‘Something Happening Somewhere’ sublabel ‘Ooshaa’, where his feel for an almost poppy hook is perfectly combined with his love for darker electronics. On the ‘Baila baila EP’ –his return to Heist after his last ep in 2018- he explores this path further. The EP is filled with live percussion, a dark and rolling acid line, chopped beats and catchy piano riffs. The three originals are accompanied by a remix courtesy of Pete Herbert that has ‘summer’ written all over it.

Opening track ‘Sammie’ has a beautiful sense of melancholy to it, where an emotional piano riff is combined with some 80’s tinged vocals and loads of live percussive elements for a smile inducing experience.

‘Discko’ takes a darker approach with a deep and ‘dubby’ low end and a guitar riff that wouldn’t be out of place on a Caribou track. The horn section and synth lead give it a real crossover appeal and it’s the kind of track you imagine working just as well on a summer festival as in a dark basement.

On the flip, there’s the title track ‘Baila’, a proto inspired acid stomper with a nice wink to early 90’s dance music vocals. An acid line gives the track its backbone, but it’s the combination of Pitto’s chords and instrumentation that give this track it’s unique edge.

The EP finishes off with Pete Herbert’s remix of ‘Sammie’. Pete’s version has that full-on summer appeal with his recognizable style of modern day island disco. He adds a bit of drama to the track with some big breakdowns, changeovers in the piano riff and turns the Balearic vibe up a notch with an added dreamy solo.

We’re happy to have Pitto back on Heist and this unique and diverse EP is one we hope will create a lot of smiles on the dance floor in the coming months.

Yours Sincerely,
Lars & Maarten

Here it is, the first in a new mini-series from Icelandic label BORG LTD - Homegrown EP vol. 1 marks the label's maiden voyage onto showcasing the local Icelandic talent with a three-track release featuring ILO, Intr0beatz and Felix Leifur.

The A side is completely owned up by ILO's seventeen minute house-disco journey Only Someone Real complete with a 90's tinged rave sequence at the tail end. On the B side Intr0beatz supplies Fu Banco, a heady slowed down house groover that keeps his signature sound and atmosphere intact.

Felix Leifur follows with Transit, shaping together in his genre bending way the dusty chords, heavily effected samples, tape hiss and other involuntary recording equipment noises into a beautiful coherency fit for both home & club duty. A great first in BORG LTD's Homegrown series!

Time for another new face on Quintessentials: Goshawk! Been around with differnt projects for ages, this East Midlands lad has always been one of the finest exponents of eccentric deep house. Releasing tons of quality music on labels like Hudd Traxx, Boogie Café, DiY Discs or his co-owned Pressed for Time and Atjazz forthcoming, we simply couldn’t resist signing Goshawk. The „stricly bungalow ep“ offers classic house music and 110 slowdown tunes and is full of fun and vibes, rough yet smooth! „Never let me go“ is an uplifting, sexy vocal track, „why I sing“ is one of two slowdown tunes with a nice dosage of funk, „all I have to give“ is a rather dark club banger and „time is just a loop“ is a minimalistic slowish chugger. Yes, strictly bungalow!

First Floor is a japanese music lover and producer who got noticed by his release on swedish elite label Local Talk in 2018. For his second vinyl release, he digging deep again and shows some well crafted House tunes with some dope beats and great melodies. Topping things off there are 2 remixes: fellow japanese wizard Kez YM (Faces Recods, City Fly, 4Lux) adds some club flavour while new hot shot Simon Hinter (Freerange) stays deep and funky. Some hot tunes for a hot summer!

With this his 3rd Ep for AUS Tee Mango continues to cement his identity as a craftseman of the understated house Groove. EP#3 features a selection of expertly dug samples, that sit effortlessly alongside played keys, drums and percussion. With his love & respect for leftfield house masters Moody & Pepe Braddock worn here like a bage of honour.

“When I was asked to put my hands on the original tracks of Blancmange I was instantly excited. They were one of my favourite Bands when I grew up as a teenager in the 80’s. Listening to their music walking around with my Walkman back then was adventurous. Mainly because I was already in love with the aesthetics of synthesisers and drum machines. But also because it was unusual pop music with an extraordinary energy that made it in the charts. Remixing a favorite Band is challenging but I’ve tried to keep the free spirits and playfulness in my mix that makes Blancmange still so special after all these years” – Roman Flügel

Roman Flügel remixes the cult 1980s classic that is ‘Living On The Ceiling’, and the result is a killer, off-kilter slice of club-focussed machine funk that contains the same wonderfully bizarre cocktail of traits, that Blancmange always boasted in spades. Eerie and schizophrenic but also both bright and triumphant. Also features the original and sought after extended mix.

The first in a new series of ‘London Records Remixed’ releases on 12” and digital. Now at its new home as part of the Because Music Group the London Records catalogue is being revisited by pioneering, contemporary electronic producers.

Man Tear are back with this high-energy emo-disco record, originally scheduled for release some
11 years ago! A sweet little 7'' is what their equally fast-footed and broken-hearted fanbase are
finally being offered. On the record we find two captivating dance pop ditties from the greatest
band to never make it, once again proving that it’s all about love - not about emotions! Let’s hope
this release is the spark that sets Man Tear’s future ablaze. Let’s hope for death to self-loathing!
Death to expectations! Death to laziness! Man Tear are back, maybe!

The ever excellent MOTHER RECORDINGS serves up more club gold, this time from MARTIN WASLEWSKI. His CLOSER release features two tight tacks that prove he has a lush sense of house groove.
Waslewski is a German who grew up on hip hop and now having turned to house finds himself at home under the roof of labels such as Hommage, Monaberry and Heulsuse. All these playgrounds offer him a deserved platform where he never fails to come up with the goods, as is the case again here.

Up first here is CLOSER, six minutes of deep, feel good house music with romantic vocals and colourful chords. The beats are lazy and well swung and this one is perfect for summer parties and terraces this year. On the flip, COME TO ME is stripped back and more driving, with a tech edge to the beats. There is more great melody though, and some smeared synths that add a sense of scale and weight.

ROBOSONIC and FERRECK DAWN team up again, right after their immortal #1 ‚In Arms‘ on Defected Records worked its way fully through clubs, radios and playlists worldwide.

For this transatlantic collaboration they invited BIG SHUG – from the legendary Gang Starr Foundation – to the studio. The true story being told over the emotive piano- driven groundwork constructed between Berlin and Amsterdam is a flashback to the early days of Disco, House and HipHop in New York City.

How BIG SHUG and one of his closest friends in the rap game Guru (R.I.P.) got inspired by dance music in some of the most iconic clubs of the times.
‚Let Live‘ is an authentic showpiece how memories and souls live on through music. MOTHER is proud of this definition of a golden era house anthem!

With hot releases on Glasgow Underground and Solotoko and remixes for legends as Kerri Chandler and Blaze MARCO ANZALONE is one of the most promsing italien producer exports. We are more than excited to present his debut, „Rick´s Cafe“ a floor stomping two tracker EP.

Opener „No Sense“ is boisterous House jam with wipping hats and earthy kicks
bounding about with tons of energy below. A gnarly female vocal really adds flame to the groove and set the dance floor on fire.

On the flip „Rick´s Cafe“ is more on the loopy side. A genuine House
track with an energetic infinity looped female voice sample build up to the climax. Pure love for the dancefloor.

NICO PUSCH IS ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS AND MOST BOOKED GERMAN TECH HOUSE DJ.. He worked also with Robin Schulz and a lot of other Key-Jocks worldwide. We are very proud to present his second Album "Different Worlds". Inside a lot of pumpin tracks in different colours, written and composed in the last 4 years during his travels for gigs around the globe. Enjoy this great work and safe your copy !

After being a longtime resident at two of Berlin’s most beloved institutions Renate & ELSE it was about time that Johannes Albert joined their inhouse imprint, Renate Schallplatten. Being known for finding the perfect sweetspot in between of House, Disco and Italo, Johannes delivers one of his most catchy EP’s to date. The record is out May 22nd on all formats and comes along with a remix from close friend Panthera Krause.
