About We Play House Recordings

We Play House Recordings - WPH - is the work of Belgian DJ & producer Red D. Started 10 years ago to release the music of his friend san Soda, the label had (and has) the aim to release house music in all its shapes and forms. WPH's house ethics date back to the days where house was just a name for music that was played in clubs. There is no such thing as tech house, no such thing as deep house or minimal, there is simply (house) music, good or bad.

We Play House Recordings is lovingly led by Red D (real name Bart Van Neste), one of Belgium's leading underground music figures. Be it in his role as DJ, A&R, promoter, music panel host or general nitelife instigator, Red D does things with passion, humor and a healthy dose of keeping-both-feet-firmly-on-the-ground...with a twist...

WPH was started in 2007, so it takes no math genius to know that in 2017 the label is celebrating its 10 years anniversary. Running from the spring till winter 2017 this anniversary will be celebrated with special vinyl releases, a triple CD, a digital compilation, a Spotify playlist and a series of label nights all over Belgium and beyond. True to form the compilation will have WPH classics but also a BIG bunch of new material from core artists of the label like Locked Groove, San Soda, Kiani & His Legion, Fabrice Lig and many more.

Collecting orders for repress

Paul St. Hilaire's soulful voice meets Rhauder's deep & dub inspired beats.

Die erste Veröffentlichung auf Ellen Alliens BPitch Label in 2020 kommt von Sunil Sharpe, einem herausragenden irischen DJ und Produzenten, der seit den frühen 2000er Jahren für seinen rohen, individualistischen Techno bekannt ist.

Der Titeltrack gibt mit seinen kraftvollen Beats und einprägsam nagenden Sequenzen den Ton vor: funky, extrem physisch und mit seinem “Just A Dream” Vocal, das sich wie ein Schleier über eine quietschende Acid-Schraube legt, im richtigen Maß psychedelisch. Das A2-Stück “Timber” nimmt dieses Thema auf und marschiert mit säuselnden Acidlines, Stimmen aus dem Geisterhaus und funky Chicago-House-Reminiszensen in Richtung Break, bei dem eine verwunschene Melodie, Vogelzwitschern und einsetzende Chöre das Ganze in Richtung rituelle Kult-Musik schieben. Auf B1 “Amun” moduliert Sunil Sharpe sinistre Sequenzen, bei dem Synth Stabs vereinzelt Licht ins Dunkel schießen – für die speziellen Monente auf dem Dancefloor, die extatisch und in sich verschlossen gleichzeitig sind. Die B2-Nummer “Ukkin” schließlich sendet Morsecodes aus den 90er Jahre Chicago Basements, extrem funky und unbedingt zeitgemäß.

Terrence Parker presents "GOD Is Love" on Intangible #527

After the first classy, deep and aetherial 12" back in May 2019, B2 Recordings is back with it's second release, and here we see the labelowner Bengoa move things forward with a three-track EP of all original material following a five-year hiatus. Title-cut 'Forest Law' takes the lead with robust, organic percussion at its core while wandering subs, airy, circling synth lines and vocal chants ebb and flow throughout the groove to create a rolling, hypnotic groove. 'A Little More' opens the flip-side next, embracing a dub leaning feel with choppy stab echoes, crunchy drums and bumpy bass hits before 'Corponation' rounds out the release, laying focus on expansive voice murmurs, airy atmospherics and an acid tinged bass hook alongside loosely shuffling, jazz tinged drums.

Gems from Ibex, Benjamin Brunn, Pirahnahead and Theo Parrish on the Third Ear catalogue selected and re-imagined by Red Rack'em, XDB, Lorca Music and Morphosis Upperground Orchestra. Highly Recommended.

Amir Alexander on Third Ear. When a top artist releases on Third Ear, it's often the artist's best work. Or at the very least worthy of your attention. Amir Alexander is absolutely blazing on these two cuts. Mastered by Pole. Limited to 300.

In 1997, Club U Nite Records released the EP '4 Tracks of Pleasure'. Now, 22 years later comes Volume 2 - Four tracks of pure pleasure:
'Kickin' Da Bass' keeps what the title promises and always remains minimal and very effective. Stomper!
Let It Flow stings a bit deeper into the old school house heart and brings you deep bass with pumping synth pads.
B1 starts with 'Sunshine', a track with a positive vibe. The flowing melodic themes and jazzy elements immediately give you the feeling of sun, beach and house music.
The EP ends with 'The Deep' a downtempo track so beautiful and timeless.

All that jelly and no toast' - like when you find a bomb tune that's unavailable on 12'. The new sublabel of 'Smile for a while' is exactly about this. Clubby House Music by well-established producers as well as from lesser-known guys.

French guy Alex Agore opens the EP with the Lowtone remix of 'What Did I Do' - cut-up Garage House to the maxx.
Max Chapman from London / UK delivers another belter. A bassline-driven organ House tune with a minimalistic but very effective set-up. Oleg Poliakov aka SKAT is one of the guys behind 'Circus Company.' He comes up with a sublime but powerful Tech House tune, in the original sense of the genre name. 'Jazzve' is a tune by Russian producer Mutenoise. It's maybe the most original, innovative tune on this EP. Full of surprises and cutting-edge elements - hard to compare to anything else around these days.

Smile&StayHigh is label based in Bologna and founded by Dj Cream.

Prins Thomas, 14th of Jan 2020

The "Forever Sabrina EP" is the premier release of Falko Kraus aka. K.Fog on Mancha Recordings. He is one of the originals of Chemnitz´electronic music scene and one of the Heads of the Beatconnect Crew. K.Fog has already brought out music on the Paris based label - Entropy, on 2 Bit Crew Recordings from Denmark and the German - Ranges imprint. The remixes for his debut on Mancha come from the Berlin based house heads KIM BROWN (Permanent Vacation, Freerange rec.), Italo Disco legend MR PAULI (Clone, Viewlexx, Bordello A Parigi) and Mancha Recordings Label head BACK FOR GOOD. Only one question remains: Will Falko ever tell us who this mysterious Sabrina is

Once again Danse Club Records have unearthed a forgotten and sorely overlooked house track here, then they have enlisted a fine pair of contemporary producers - Sqim and Deepchild - to remix it and bring it right up to date. The original, 'Who's Dick Is This' is a 1994 kicking house bomb by the mysterious Princess Di, who released but three EPs during the 90s on Music Station with this track being the pick of the bunch. German producer Sqim is associated with labels like Exploited and Play It Down and firstly offers up a Ghetto Mix of the track. The result is a big and physical house track with sleazy samples, heavyweight drums and a kinetic energy throughout The warm up mix by the same man is a much deeper affair, as you'd expect from the name. This one resides in a much warmer and more inviting groove and is coloured with deft synths as it slowly builds in phases. The elastic vocals dart about above the drums, bringing with them a lively sense of soul and funk before Deepchild offers his own two unique versions.From quirky, stripped-back techno injected with soul to deep, dub-inflected excursions, Berlin based Australian Deepchild can do it all. Here he offers his 'Cockumentary Retug' a ragged and raging techno version riddled with spoken word samples culled from a documentary about penis size. Its dark and involving and sure will get great reactions on the floor. The final version is a straight dub that journeys in a heavy groove, has some weird spoken word snippets melted into it and is lit up with some celestial synth patterns in the latter half.

OCP proudly presents their debut release, coming from Koga, Frankfurt underground DJ and connoisseur of the M1 organ bass. The 'Hive Mind' EP contains four well executed tracks that are likely to disintegrate dance floors around the globe. Title track 'Hive Mind', featuring Simon Moncler, is a Brooklyn-style techno jam packed with hard hitting RZ-1 hats, while 'Survivor (M&M's techno will survive mix)', featuring Maurice, freshly connects trancey elements with breaks and bleeps. The B side kicks off with 'Fox Undercover', a jam displaying developed knowledge of clunky baselines and pounding grooves, the 12" rounds of with a bass-heavy remix of 'Fox Undercover' by DJ Slyngshot. TECHNO WILL SURVIVE!

MATHEMATICS RECORDINGS continues to push boundaries moving into boogie & funk territories with KELTON PRIMA'S "IN2" album release. The project is a fusion of Nubian synthetic textures with that popular Parisian R&B dance aesthetic of AIR, DAFT PUNK & GEORGE DUKE.

DJ-Kicks starts off its 25th year with a selector who's been doing just that for even longer than we've been going. A true giant of the underground dance world, we proudly present the original 'Jazz Potato' himself: Mr. Scruff!

Spanning the decades like a funky timelord for our special mix, Scruff brings some of the world's best analogue and digital musicians together in a head-spinning melange of sinuous groove - ably blending sometimes disparate elements into an aurally nourishing whole - courtesy of two of the safest DJ hands you'll ever have the pleasure to be in

Re issue of R-Tyme's 'Use Me' from KMS off shoot Trance Fusion from 1993.

Benedikt Frey heads this latest offering from the Batti Batti label, teaming up with jonas.san for "Girl From Venus", which pair the former's signature raw drums with the latter's outtakes of muted trumpet. Complementing this, Batti Batti's own Owen Jay & Melchior Sultana lay down a typically deep atmospheric houser with a few twists and hidden melodies in the shape of title track "Tribal Roots" and the 12" is further embellished by productions from debutant Lars Behrenroth and Mexican duo Romeo C & Alhan G who have previously been featured on a digital Batti Batti release.

Rick Lenoir and Larry Thompson aka Black Traxx dropped several volumes of their own brand of chopped up Disco sampling, deeper side of House. From 1991 through to 1994 the Black Traxx EP's were showing up in record stores, obviously giving respectful nods to other Chicago DJ's and producers the tracks included on the EP's contained a DIY spirit and rawness that were key ingredients. Lenoir, with the technical assistance of Gary 'Jackmaster' Wallace has revisited these classic releases for 2017 and the pair have turned in some special, exclusive extended versions of some of the highlights from the series.

Kicking off the first Black Traxx sampler is 'Climaxx', a stripped back, slow burning acid cut with more than a similarity to 'French Kiss' complete with ultra slowed down section in the middle. Far from a copycat, 'Climaxx' is it's own beast, a truly atmospheric track that tweaks in all the right places! 'Doctor's Housecall' is up next, a cut-up of Disco burner 'Doctor Love', a Chicago staple for sure. This is a brand new extended version of this jam, serious heat on this one, you all know the sample by now! Undoubtedly a nod to the legendary Ron Hardy and his mythical Muzic Box club, this one hits the spot.

On side-B we get a new version of 'Your Mind Is So Crazy' lifted off Volume III, this one's a pumping, breakbeat laced party starter. Vocal samples, synths and swinging drums all collide to form a real peak-time monster of a track, pure 90's style runnings! 'Retrospace' is the last track on sampler 1, it's a melding of Chicago House, breakbeat and bleeps. If you dig the sounds that emanated from Sheffield way back when, or the you're into the early hardcore sound pre-Jungle then this is the cut for you. Fast paced and funky, 'Retrospace' is a real hidden gem of a track, featured here in it's original form lifted from volume II.

This reissue has been realised with the full involvement of Rick Lenoir and Gary Wallace and is 100% legit! All exclusive extended edits have been made by Rick and Gary specifically for this release. Don't snooze, this one deserves a spot in any self respecting House heads record bag or DJ set, classic material made available again for 2017 - You can't stop it!

Auto Sound City have been notching up some quality recordings on a verity of labels including Downfall and Weapons of Desire. This 5 track Acid EP from them helps to further consolidate Chicago Bee as a staple UK acid label. The duo Alex Handley and Toni Aslam also bang out a very impressive live set and totally rocked the club night Downfall in London November 2019. This EP contains 2 tracks from that set. The EP has been gaining much support with the final track Bad Boy House being singled out. Some supporters of the EP so far are Colin Dale, Rennie Foster, Snuff Crew, Damian Beblot and Placid

We are excited to present Tom Misch and Yussef Dayes’ “What Kinda Music” – an astonishing collaboration between two artists of very different disciplines, and one of the most unique and seamlessly original projects of its ilk to date.

Moving fluidly through sleek electronica, avant-garde jazz, vintage hip hop and so much more, Misch and Dayes take you on a journey that is by turns surprising and spontaneous, heady and head spinning, and nothing less than compelling – a singular vision which fuses the DNA of both musicians with spectacular results, as can be seen in the title track, which comes backed by a gorgeously atmospheric video by XX.

Even though the fundamental bones of this project came together very quickly, its actual provenance stretches back much, much farther back, with the pair not only growing up in the same area of South East London, but Misch actually seeing Dayes play on drums in the school talent show for the first time when he was roughly 8 or 9.

They both kept tabs on each other – Misch becoming a fan of Dayes’ act Yussef Kamaal, Dayes clocking his videos in 2014 – but it was only when they met at a launch party for Misch’s debut LP “Geography” in 2018 that the proverbial creative sparks began to fly. “As a musician you’re always looking for contemporaries who can push you and challenge you and make you better”, says Dayes. “I instantly felt that with Tom – he was such a gifted musician, and so prolific”. That summer they decided to go into the studio together, jam a little, and see what happens, with no other expectation placed upon it.

As it turns out, the music came fast and furiously. Two initial tracks were suddenly followed by a handful of others, and the pair found themselves contemplating what to do next. “Pretty soon, we knew that something was gelling”, Dayes says. “It didn’t feel like a one-off collaboration, it felt like a body of work”. What made the pair click, according to Misch and Dayes, were the exact same factors that meant it shouldn’t, by all rights, work. Misch says, “Yussef comes from a more experimental background, and he has a lot of loose, crazy ideas. I know how to write a catchy melody, but with interesting chords and have a good understanding of popular song forms, so I think I streamlined those ideas and made them accessible”. And certainly, in “What Kinda Music” you can sense the DNA of both musicians, but fusing so effortlessly and beautifully that it creates something else entirely, the appropriately named “Lift Off” sending goosebumps with its jazz flecked crescendo, and “Night Rider” hynotising with its deeply mesmeric grooves. “I have a love for harmony and chords”, Misch adds. “Working with someone like Yussef, who has such a gifted sense of rhythm allowed a perfect balance”.

Throughout the record, there is an utterly joyful feel of two musicians at the top of their game sparking off one another, picking up ideas and running with them – zigging where the other zags, ebbing where the other flows, with Misch producing the majority of the record and both having a hand in the overall sound and feel of the record.

“Working with Yussef has actually changed the way I work as a musician”, Misch muses. “He’s pushed me and unlocked a more experimental part of me that I hadn’t really allowed myself to explore before. I think we really did impact each other in a fundamental way”. Dayes is similarly effusive in his praise for Misch. “A musician like him, who’s at the top of his game, he doesn’t need to do this”, he raves. “He can just keep doing the same thing and why not?
He’s killing it. The fact that he’s so humble, that he’s so curious about everything and open to collaboration, speaks a lot to him as an artist, because it’s not easy finding musicians who want to collaborate. Something always gets in the way, whether it’s ego or their team or whatever. But with Tom it felt like the intention was purely creative, and that’s what made it exciting”.

In fact, Dayes says that the intentions of the record go even deeper than just music. “Both our parents who’d never met each other before, are now best friends as a result of this, they now see each other more than we do! I’d like to think, in some small way, that this album has a similar impact for people too – everything feels so divided these days, it would be nice for people to hear the record and hear two very different musicians coming together and realise it doesn’t have to be that way”.
