Another limited edition PUSS release, each copy with a unique, real human kiss mark.

Conclave is a gathering.
Conclave is a coming together.
Conclave is con clave, a unifying rhythm that is the key to unlock dances ancient and contemporary.
Conclave is Cesar Toribio and Scott Scribner, multi-instrumentalists whose alchemy is evident in the ebb and flow of their compositions, paradoxes of the delicate and powerful inextricably woven around the rhythm.

After a dozen live shows over the past couple years, the Brooklyn-based group take their first steps on vinyl with an impassioned cover of the soul standard “Sunny,” a song whose Latin Disco pedigree makes it the perfect canvas for the Dominican+New Yorker collaborators. An ethereal gospel choir lifts Toribio’s heartfelt vocals over twining guitar and keys that gradually build and eventually bubble over to ride a churning bass line into the heavens — Paradise, in this case, being a funked-up extended instrumental jam on the groove.

Seven Davis Jr. joins the circle for a flip side remix that is nothing short of stunning. Languidly paced, the sparse mix gradually grows in intensity with an unforced charm that lends a startling drama to the entrance of the rippling bassline a full three minutes in. When the keys finally arrive like a burst of light thru the clouds, the door to the dance has been fully thrown open and the listener’s transformation from bystander to part of the conclave is complete.

The release of “Sunny” is rounded out with an acapella, available on vinyl and digital, an enticement for future collaborators, perhaps. Conclave’s debut album will touch down summer 2020, but this Most Excellent 12-inch is certain to hold you over till then, and beyond.

Written by Bobby Hebb. Performed, recorded by Cesar Toribio and Scott Scribner as Conclave in Brooklyn, NY. Remixed by Seven Davis Jr. Mixed by Phil Moffa at Butcha Sound Studios. Conclave’s debut album out Summer 2020. ©℗ 2020 Most Excellent Unllimited Recordings, Inc. 12-inch distribution by Dietrich Schoenemann at Complete Distribution USA. Digital distribution by Seed Worldwide.

MOTHER RECORDINGS don't let up on the release schedule pressure as they look to returning label artists MAT.JOE for a new two tracker. This Berlin based duo are one of the most talked about duos on the circuit at the moment with releases on Toolroom, Hot Creations, as well as MOTHER in the last 6 months. They also received a best newcomer nomination in the recent DJ Awards for Ibiza and have also had two number 1 Beatport Tech House Hits in 2016. They are known for really cooking up fresh club sounds each and every time they release, and this new BLOW YOUR MIND EP is no different.

DANCE MACHINE goes first and is a rolling house cut with rubbery drums and slick bass. Vocals add fuel to the fire, some colourful melodies bring the soul and the whole thing really will kick start any set and get people on their toes.

On the flip, BLOW YOUR MIND is more quirky and left of centre, with high pressure drums and wonky bass all laid over by a freaky lead synth line that has a life of its own. It adds a freshness and funkiness to the drums that builds and builds to a tense and sensory peak.

The boy wonder from down under, Slamb, delivers his first solo EP, packing three booty poppin' summer jams. Skillfully blending boogie and r&b samples on top of his slamming house beats to bring about that infinite pleasure just in time for a hot summer.

Logic's 'Blues for you' is a stone cold underground classic. Period. 1994 NYC soulful house groove all up in your area. This is it. The real thing. Wayne Gardiner is a definite unsung hero of dance music, the majority of his productions leaving dancers and DJ's salivating and dancing non-stop. Across 4 different mixes Gardiner shows up the deadly art of simplicity, making all of the versions contained within essentials. Absolutely banging from start to finish. The vocal versions are soaring, the dubs are absolutely tearing, setting dancefloors alight from the Shelter to Club Coliseum. Another Strictly anthem right here, given some tasty 2019 remastering treatment and repressed onto a high quality, weighty 12" for all you record lovers out there, this one will keep them moving in the mix. Perfect NYC sounds here, untouched and represented in it's original 1993 form with original Strictly label artwork, you need this!

One of the hottest Clubhouse- Classics of the 90's feat. the Vocals of legend- Darryl Pandy! Actually, it's used on the Club-Burner by Booty Luv- Shine!

Danse Club 16th release welcomes Greek producer, Sek also of AMA, Morris Audio, Large. The release kicks off with 'Everybody', a bumping and groove filled slice of deep house that employs a simple bass, a filtered piano chord groove and sparse vocal hits. Next up is 'No Matter What', a driving, garage influenced record which is sure to send dance floors crazy. Last but not least the B2, 'Sofa King High'. A laid back, deep, sleezy house record with distorted chords, smooth bass and addictive vocals.

Straight outta kampen... It's that time again!
For their second release HAMSA INTENATIONAL hooks up
with SYLT'z mastermind and brother PJOTR.
He shows us how to keep the deepness real with his stunning UNION EP.
Be enlighted by this divine four tracker, out of the windy dunes from mystic island.
Stay cool, stay true, stay HAMSA INTENATIONAL!

Original 2006! Don’t sleep, ltd. Edition!

DJ Spen has teamed up with British gospel choir VMC & this result is an uplifting soulful house bomb! 12” includes the awesome vocal mix &the dub with a piano & bassline to die for!!!

Envee kept us waiting for his album a little bit too long, but our patience finally pays off - "Time & Light" drops later this year! But before this happens, we got an appetizer for you - 4-track vinyl EP with tunes that didn't make the cut, but are too good to be forgotten.
It is widely acknowledged that Envee aka "The Bear" is all comfy in club environment, so it was high time to release those four club bangers on a strictly limited (300 pieces) vinyl "Time & Light EP". Two instrumental deep house dancefloor fillers on the A-Side, and two surprising covers on the B-side. The latter ones you may have already heard in Envee's DJ sets - track ID requests were flowing in, so Envee decided to finally spill the beans and put it all out on vinyl.
Cover photos were taken by Filip Blank, Animisiewasz put all the pieces together, Envee did the mix himself and Eprom Sounds Studio is responsible for mastering. Quality guaranteed!

They say all good things comes in threes, and with the marking of Nachtbraker's 3rd release for Heist, we can confirm this universal truth once again. Maurits Verwoerd comes back to Heist with more dancefloor muscle than ever before, and shows us great development of his sound: while keeping his unconventional drum patterns and love for the deeper side of house, he adds some filtered funk flavor along the way. 'Gotta act to react' drives on a saturated bassline, a hypnotizing guitar lick and some seriously loose hi-hats, but really delivers once those hard to place filtered hits come in. 'Pollo con Pollo' is potentially Maurits' most clear attempt at a straightforward groove, with a lovely dreamy guitar loop running throughout the track. Add his loose sense of arrangement and changeovers, and it's still anything but straightforward. The B- side gets nice and weird with 2 versions of Intermezz(l)ow, the one being a lovely textured interlude and the other a rough drum workout built around the same theme. When we asked Maurits who he wanted to have as a remixer, he suggested he'd do a remix himself. We knew better than to argue with him, and since he is who he is, we're not entirely surprised he came up with a great dubbed out acid-tinged flip of 'Gotta act to react'. This EP really shows Nachtbraker's steady rise and will most likely take him out of the shadows he so enjoys, into headline territory and we're glad to support him in this journey. Sincerely yours, Lars & Maarten

Cosmic Rhythm is proud to release 4 cuts of superb piano house found on an old cassette tape recorded years ago and believed lost.

finally repressed !

Mother Recordings label boss Nhan Solo delivers his biggest club tune for 2013 so far. A sample from a well-known Mexican orchestra combined with some funky drum loops is all he needs to unleash the magic. The hook is an instant booty shaker, so let me tell ya' something: it's good times and hands-in-the-air galore.

Super producer, super DJ, super live act... This is SUPERLOVER! The newest edition to the Mother Recordings family brings us his essential debut EP. This release is masterfully crafted for the summer party season with two tracks of pure pleasure. We're sure you will enjoy this as much as we do!

Steam:
Steam starts off with a dirty percussion and bongo groove then builds tension with a hypnotic melody and bass combo. Seductive and subdued vocal hits lead us into the breakdown for a blissful point of release. A perfect festival tune with a super sexy groove and a melody that sticks to the brain like glue.

Make Love:
"Make romance to the music - Love". The hook to this track is so catchy we can't stop singing along! Pure summertime joy and happiness to get the floor grooving. A super catchy riff and funky house beat opens the track while the vocal is teased in and finally the track explodes like a rainbow of confetti! Expect full booty shaking from the ladies from this one. Guaranteed to bring sunshine and smiles to every dance floor.

Supported by: Claptone, Tensnake, Oliver Koletzki, Teenage Mutants, Tapesh, Kyodai, Dyed Soundorom, Bubba, Leftwing & Kody, Animal Trainer, Jay west, BBC Radio One and many more...

Is Nenor (or perviously Obas Nenor) Tel Aviv’s best kept secret? We don’t know yet, but we will find out some day. What we know is that Nenor has a small but very impressive list of labels that he already released for: Strictly Rhythm, Moodymann’s Mahogani Music and Detroits Swindle’s Heist Recordings to name the elite ones! The „Carefree EP“ is another strong release to be added to his discography. „Your love is mine“ is a splendid builder of a track feat another talent, Omri Smadar. More great basslines, crafty rhythms and sweet vocals on the flip side with two equal impressive cuts, „Carefree“ and „December day“. Keep an eye on Nenor!

Having pinned to perfection the sonics of the Adriatic, Croatia's Love International Festival bottles up their blissed out rhythms and sunrise sessions for the inauguration of Love International Recordings, fittingly, with a first release from UK producer Begin.

Seemingly unstoppable, Palermo Traxx Vol 2 is the third release from The Home Current for Castles in Space during 2019. Following the polished industrialisms and eighties inspired grooves of LP “Civilian Leather” and an immediately sold-out 7”, Martin Jensen returns with his final record of the year recorded in praise of a long deceased nightclub called Candy Junction. Recalling the euphoria and positivity of a club night, this towering work shift gears from “Civilian Leather” to full on, futuristic, air cooled dance floor assault. The original plan for this record was to release a white label promo with a facsimile DJ feedback sheet. Straight from 1991 with love. However, as the music developed, it was agreed that this needed a full official release with all the tinsel and trimmings.

Intangible Records and Soundworks presents another classic in the rebound. Seven Grand Housing Authority's "I cant't Wait" comes around with fresh mastering and with Terrence Parker's new remix of legendary "Loves Got me High"!

Vinyl Only! Let's Start The New Year With The Fantastic 'Black Loops' And With The Great Company Of 'Armless Kid' Remix.

Cinthie’s we_r_house imprint stands as a platform for more stripped-back, groove led house cuts and across the past few years has released material from the likes of Toman, Revivis, Julian Anthony, Alessio Viggiano and of course the label-head
herself. Here we see the imprint welcome Kevin Over onto the roster, most notably known for his releases on the likes of DJ Steaw’s House Puff, Kerri Chandler’s Madhouse Records and Gerd’s 4Lux amongst others.
‘Try Minus 10’ leads with dusty drum breaks, soft Rhodes chords and soulful vocals before ‘Lunte’ lays down a disco infused feel via funky bass lines, chanting vocal loops, horn stabs and filtered guitar licks.
’20 Dollar House’ featuring Marlon opens the flip-side, taking things back to a more classic house aesthetic via gritty stab sequences, swinging 909 drums, soaring vocals and jazzy piano melodies before ‘Fake 89’ rounds out the release on a deeper

Berlin based duo Evvol will release their second album 'The Power' on their own imprint Mad Dog & Love via the !K7 Collective. A meditation on love, the intimate and personal offering is a product of turning their thoughts inward after time spent considering the state of the world and politics over the last year. "It's about all relationships, including but not limited to our own", they explain, "and It details the intimate powers that bind us together."

Cinthie’s we_r_house has gone from strength to strength over the years with material from the likes of Kevin Over, Carlo Gambino and Cinthie herself bringing the label into the Spotlight for raw, understated and stripped-back house sounds. Here the label welcomes America’s Sam Haskin onto its roster, a producer and DJ hailing from the US House mecca of San Francisco.

Originally released in the year 2000, Sono – Keep Control is one of the defining dance tracks of this millennium. To mark the 20th anniversary of this classic track, ARTBAT now present their own version of the legendary tune.

O'Girl aka Ellinor Jackson is back once again on Borft! Her debut left me wanting for more. Like label boss Villa Abo said 'Sometimes you just feel right about it'. Although this 4-tracker is her second record out there the music is fully matured house goodness. Stabs and chords builds up a funky groove on a solid beat foundation in Corners Couch. Proper sunset/sundown dance music. Snap Happy dives right into filtered loopy loops and voice samples. It takes its time so you can get snug and cosy and then unleashes a percussion party right at the end so you'll be smile-dancing and sipping fizzy in no time. Shoddy Shoes is a straight up club joint. Dark wobbly techno bass moves dubby stabs forward while a mysterious mist floats on top. Some strong clap action keeps everything moving from side to side! The last track is a lush French Riviera happy moment. Warm pads, classic house piano and bass action all day long. Smiles everywhere and not a cloud in sight! - Sahpo Ripasso

Solid Purple Vinyl

Re-issue from Italian house instigator Enrico Mantini which is going to set another mark in his discography. 4 of Mantini's best tracks from years 2012 - 2014 personally chosen by the artist from Mantini's very own label Down Da Mountains.

2020 Repress

Joy Orbison has been celebrated for finding a sound that marries elements of house, two-step, jungle, techno and dubstep. Alongside the release of the gargantuan "Hyph Mngo" (released on Hot Flush in late 2009 and has topped the end of year charts across the globe) and material on his own imprint Doldrums, notorious mixes for Radio 1 have only served to cement Joy Orbison's renown. Both ‘The Shrew’ and ‘So Derobe’ pick up where ‘Hyph Mngo’ blasted off… devilishly catchy melodies and basslines, full of feeling and soul, evolve and grow as the arrangement develops to leave you on an almighty high. Big drops, super heavy drum programming and grooves that sound like only Joy Orbison right now. There’s shades of garage, shades of funky, shades of old school R&B. Pete wears his influences on his sleeve yet re-wraps them in his own unmistakable and truly unique style. Actress’s Neu Haus refix is the perfect foil for this package. A raw, almost unconstructed tool that in the right hands will create huge tension on the floor. Actress, aka, Darren J. Cunningham has in the last 5 years of running the Werk label set himself apart as one of the hottest A&R scouts within his field, having discovered and released some of the most widely talked about artists of the emerging bass generation, namely Disrupt, Zomby, Lukid and Starkey. As actress he produced the exceptional "Hazyville LP" drawing cries for a Mercury Award Nomination. He's remixed the too cool for school Various Production, written for the seminal techno imprint Soma and has recently confirmed an album deal to record on Honest Jons, the British Independent record label created and founded by Damon Albarn.

Small Hours returns and proudly welcomes two new faces to the label. DJ Pipe brings the heat with an excellent debut track reminiscent of his fine DJ sets at CDV & Hoppetosse in recent times. Oslo digger and emerging producer, Rub800, also joins the family delivering a raw, tripped out affair on side B. Local legend, 'Hollywood' Huerta sets the bar high with one of his finest jams to date, plus label boss Youandewan departs a little from his usual sound with a bouncy, entrancing effort to complete the EP.

DJ Dan has been a pinnacle of the dance music scene in America since the early 90s and has toured around the world with the likes of Carl Cox, DJ Sneak and Pete Tong to name a few.

Dan's label imprint InStereo is played by many top DJs around the world and Dan has chosen some of his strongest releases for Vol. 3 of the Slammin Trax series.

Leeds born producer and DJ Carlo Gambino has become a name synonymous with deeper leaning house from the UK over the past decade, releasing his material via the likes of 3am Recordings, Zingiber Audio and his own Midnight Social Recordings
and Amongst Others. Here though we see him joining Cinthie’s we_r house, following releases on the label from Kevin Over, Alessio Viggiano and Toman.

Transatlantic legends Fast Eddie and Liquid in their debut release.
If you can remember that feeling of opening a brand-new, shrink-wrapped piece of USA house music vinyl then you are going to love this new release from Music Mondays.

Full circle, from Chicago to London and back again, the absolutely legendary hip house and acid pioneer Fast Eddie (think Acid Thunder, or Yo Yo Get Funky) has teamed up with UK rave stalwart Liquid (think Sweet Harmony, or Liquid Is Liquid) and they've produced an absolutely massive new EP... a limited release in December 2019 on Billy Daniel Bunter's label.

From the 21st century hip house slab that is Get Straight, b/w the more house vibes of Clout Chasing, this unique piece of collectable vinyl will delight trans-Atlantic house and rave connoisseurs alike. Get involved. Step to this, because when they're gone... they're GONE!

25 years ago the Pacha Ibiza vibe was brought to Belgium by Patrick Soks, who has been hosting the Paradise parties at Café d'Anvers since then. Derrick May, Derrick Carter, Stacey Pullen, Todd Terry, Pete Tong, Dimitri, Marcello, Doc Martin, Laurent Garnier, Sven Väth, Bob Sinclar, Luciano... they all played their first Belgian DJ set at this legendary Belgian party. Enjoy this anniversary release full of seminal tracks... Music is the answer!

And the Black Loops phenomenon continues… Fresh from a whole slew of killer releases this year on
the likes of Happiness Therapy, Neovinyl, Madhouse and Smile & Stay High, the Berlin-based Italian
return to Pets with this almighty four-piece that runs their entire groove gamut.
The long-awaited follow-up to their evergreen ‘For The Lovers’ EP in 2017, once again they not only
tick every box but tickle every inch of your music-addicted soul. Easing us in gently with a little cosmic
UKG, ‘Gwei Lo’ is a two-step teaser with all the magic we’ve come to know and love Black Loops for.
Deeper again we rifle through the styles like 12”s in a dusty crate… ‘Unity’ keeps the garage theme
but with much more of New York or New Jersey style vibe, especially in those epically thudding kicks.
‘Keep A Secret’ is just beautiful deepness with shades of Europe and the West Coast. Somewhere
between Ian Pooley and Hipp-E & Halo in a state of perpetual sunset.
Last but not least, we hit ‘Born In The 80s’. Don’t be fooled by the title, this ain’t no nostalgic
throwback; it’s another timeless slab of deep house heaven where the era is referenced beautifully in
the gentle, dreamy but insistent melody that folds and pleats so majestically over the top, it’s one of
those tunes that really does make you forget where you are and what era you’re in. The type of tunes
both Black Loops and Pets excel in…

Top Notch house tunes by Garrett David who returns to Stripped & Chewed with a continuation of his love letter to Queen!, a weekly institution every Sunday at Chicago's Smart Bar. Garrett describes his Queen! experience as fully surreal. "It's been the one constant in my life. Every week since I was 20 y/o. That's wild. For the last 7 years, Queen! has shaped my music and me." Some of the finest modern house music around!

Dan Curtin needs little introduction; his unique blend of hi-tech funk & aerobic programming inhabits an unmistakable island of deep techno all to it's own. We journeyed to this island in search of long-buried treasure and struck gold: four energetic gems from Curtin's unreleased archive circa 1998-2001. Get ready to let loose.

As Pathway Traxx finds itself embarking on a dawn of maturity the now familiar colourful label welcomes in its 4th vinyl only release.
This bright yellow vinyl 4th installment welcomes on board relative newcomer on the house scene, Amir Maglajlija a.k.a. Espada. Originating from Bosnia & Herzegovina, Espada only began producing in early 2011 but as you will hear on this release his production skills far out weigh his years of experience. Amir delivers a truly sublime A-side with sprinkles of jazz influenced house and funk. He effortlessly intertwines melodic keys with jazzy horns whilst keeping things moving along nicely through his infectious drums and percussion.
The B-side of the EP see's Pathway Traxx return to more familiar ground with a stripped back deep rework by Mannheim native, ManooZ. Having released on the likes of Tomorrow is Now Kid, Swink and ALIVE Recordings to name but a few, its clear to see Manooz is a force to be reckoned with, and a name well-known for quality house productions.
And last, but by certainly no means last, in typical Pathway Traxx style, they've saved the heavy weight banger for the last track on the B-side. This out and out club ripper is delivered by close label friend and well renowned groove maker, Kezla. Expect nothing more and nothing less than Stripped back drums and a bone-shaking baseline!

what a cool track
