Adelaide duo Warren Raww present a 12" that ups the energy of their July EP, whilst still delivering on their own brand of melodic, synth-laden house music. This time flanked by comrades Arthur Miles and Freddie Norwood, they add to the already high volume of talent currently emanating from Australia.
The A side offerings shift between the more low-end driven aspect of Warren Raww's production style, with off-kilter bass lines, punchy percussion and contemplative chord progression. The B side strips things back a bit further with a track each from Arthur Miles and Freddie Norwood. Gliding pads, raw percussion, broken beats and rolling drums all melt together to deliver an essential slab of house music.

777 returns with its second remix EP expanding the affairs from house to jungle by four special guests!

"La Ronde" is one of the seminal Japanese House releases, originally released in 1991 on King Street offshoot BPM Records it's long been a highly sought after slab of wax among deep House & dance music aficionados around the world.

Confined to one single disc on it's original release this luxurious 2015 re-issue let's all the music contained within breathe the way it was naturally intended across 2 re-mastered 12"s, making it utterly indispensable for all you DJ's & fanatics out there clamoring for all these classic tracks from far eastern heavyweights like Toshihiko Mori, Soichi Terada and many many more (NYC's legendary Pal Joey even makes a guest appearance!).

This is gorgeous, ambient, deep House at it's finest, full of melody, soul & vibe, totally essential & finally available in this format for the very first time. Fully re-mastered, re-pressed and re-released in full conjunction with King Street Sounds / BPM Records, NYC / Japan.

‘R U Happy’… A simple question. But is there a simple answer? Allow Guti and Tripmastaz to look you dead in the eye and find out once and for all.

Their first ever collaboration – conjured in a rare real life, real time, real vibe collabo scenario in Tripmastaz Moscow studio – this fact alone should be a reason for happiness. The music seals the
deal furthermore; a bubbling analogue bass, relentless jacking beats, filters set to their juiciest coordinates and that insistent loopy vocal sample, there are some serious strong tones of Chicago in the blend. The sharpness of early Trax, the fatness of early Classic and that rolling vibe that captures
the essence of house like no other city.
If your happiness status relies on more of a French lift then allow D’Julz to take your hand with his remix. Still just as jacking, but with a little more beef in the bass, more dynamic strip-backs and several new layers of funk-riddled filters, if you’re not happy by the time this kicks in, you need to consider some of your lifestyle choices.

With the Pets guys and Guti both fresh from big album excursions and Tripmastaz enjoying a rich vein of form on the likes of Tatouffe, Bass Culture and No 19 already this year, all parties are kicking with vitality on this one. Are you happy? We certainly are…

Mr. Gene Hunt, Chicago house music legend, is back on LA Club Resource with the"After School" ep. Gene digs deep in his vast archives and unearths three hard hitting tracks for fans of old school house. Heard in the clubs and on mix shows back in the days, these tracks finally surface for the first time on wax. Limited to 300 copies and essential for the Chicago freaks.

Classic is incredibly pleased to announce that a certain man of the moment has joined the Classic family. 'One' was brought to the attention of Classic when it featured on vinyl only release late last year.

Ears pricked up and more information was sought. Who was this man from nowhere - producing music that was modern yet soulful, funky - and best of all coupled with his own vocal talents.

Luke Solomon then championed not only 'One', but the general excitement surrounding something that ticked all of his boxes. Reminiscent of the old Classic sound that reminded him of Iz and Diz, Losoul and the like... Seven was approached and not only offered Classic 'One' to re-release, but two brand new cuts featured exclusively here.

An EP aptly entitled 'Friends' is the freshest thing that has been around for some time - and Classic are proud to welcome Seven into their ever expanding family.

Lyssna Records is a newly formed label out of Stockholm overseen by Adam Stromstedt, Flord King and Mohammed Al Harbiti. Two of the founding members, Adam and Flord, join forces to create a deep, jazzy and delicately put together debut. A1 'Shakshuka' is a track driven by jazzy percussion and soothing chords on top and a slightly off kilter bass groove. A2 'Det Eviga Mysteriet' straight away hits you with a more hip hop and soul inspired touch with well thought out vocal samples on top of a bouncy beat. Flip side starts off with 'Foul' a slow pulsating track that is perfect for those late night shifts on the dance floor. Finishing off the EP we have Mr. Tophat's rendition of Shakshuka, weird and delightful at the same time, just like a Mr. Tophat remix should be, BLU.

After the last releases of M.in & Gunman on Cajual, Wow Recordings and Great Stuff, we are glad to welcome M.in together with his colleague Gunman on My Favourite Freaks.

These two tracks are timeless and perfect for the summer.

"The Voice" captivates with its cool vocals, a loose groove and a nice chord. This track brings a smile on everyone's face and awakens a summer feeling, which makes you want to dance imme-diately.

"The Groove" focuses on a strong groove and bongo samples but of course that's not enough. As a surprise, the track turns into its main part in a Monster, which lures everyone with his cool synth on the dance floor.

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.

Post Pluto's third release "Abercrombie St" brings together Sydney based producers Adam Stromstedt, t.hanks and Subaske for a diverse EP suitable for the dark room. All three producers bring their own flavour to the release which traverses tripping techno, booty shaking house and dubby electro

Gerd fired up the legendary Yamaha DX100 synth and proves he's still the master of machines from Planet FMDX. 4 housey techno tracks ranging from the beautiful melancholic to dancefloor stomper.

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!

Pressed on 180G heavyweight vinyl and packed into manila sleeves.

Fans of the first Voyage sampler will be familiar with the sound of Harvey Sutherland and his ability to make synths sing. For those who aren't, you're welcomed with opened arms to experience the joy of Harvey Sutherland through his new EP "Brothers". An exploration in all things that make Harvey Sutherland the wizard he is, "Brothers" blurs the atmospheres surrounding boogie, house, jazz and funk. An outer space voyage for your mind, body and soul.

Early support from Session Victim, San Soda, Max Graef and Glenn Astro.

A true techno auteur, Mathew Jonson earlier this year released his second solo album, 'Her Blurry Pictures' on Crosstown Rebels, encompassing a new evolution in his rhythmically complex and timeless approach over eight fluid and rich composition. Now soon to drop is a package of unmissable 'Blurry Remixes' featuring a trio of first class reworks by Dixon¨ Tale Of Us and Akufen
Innervisions boss and Berlin luminary Dixon turns in a storming reimagining of the atmospheric, electronic matrix of 'Level 7' where straight talking techno does the driving as layers build, get stripped back then steered onto a more melodic path underpinned by a rumbling deep bassline.
Next up, the unstoppable duo Tale Of Us transport one of the more playful 'Blurry' cuts 'Kissing Your Eyes' into a brooding dubby sound bed of live sounding drums combined with rippling echoing synth melodies. Berlin based Carmine and Matteo aka Tale Of Us, first rose to prominence on the Visionquest imprint in 2011 and have since released on Life And Death and M_nus.
Glitchy tech meets raw rolling drum beats in Akufen's 'Body In Motion' remix. As hypnotic, as you would expect from the Canadian mastermind, Akufen lures you into a trance and keeps you guessing, progressing from dextrous minimal textures to full on fluid jazzy piano interpretations.

Our second artist EP comes by way of Austrian producer, Markus Quittner, who joins forces with his Hoover The House crew for one deliciously deep record.

This record is the result of a series of memorable studio sessions with my friends. Especially made for Cahoots Records, Nightside contains four sophisticated underground house tracks. Each one is produced with much love and attention."

''Chicago house legend Emanuel Pippin (Trax Records) joins LA Club Resource to bring house fans a compilation record for the ages... ''Tracks From The Dungeon'' features unreleased and rare tracks from Ron Hardy, Armando, Sean Hardonson, Paul Johnson and more. Kicking the record off with Sean Hardonson's ''Crash'', Crash or ''Video Clash'' is a house music standard, made popular by Lil Louis in 1989 on Dance Mania Records, although in circulation well before that, Hardonson's ''Crash'' is said to be the mythical version that started it all, finding its first time on wax here. To round out side one Pippin presents the original version of the house classic ''House Nation'' by Nick Non Stop and also fresh from the archives is the much sought after cult mix show cut the Martin Luther King Eulogy track by the late great Armando Gallop.''

Repress of seminal Chez Damier & Ron Trent release on KMS.

This record needs no introduction! One of THE most classic House records ever made! The legendary pairing of Frankie Knuckles (RIP) and Jamie Principle delivering two devastatingly ahead of the curve anthems; "Baby Wants To Ride / Your Love", both still sounding as fresh, vital, original and contemporary as they did on their 1987 release.

Truly one of the dream pairings in modern dance music, the Knuckles / Principle team brought us many classic moments but the two tracks contained here are among the most recognizable and well loved tracks in the House music lexicon.
Often sampled, covered, edited and re-worked, but never, ever bettered here are two absolutely essential cuts, re-issued as they were released originally in the late 80's on Trax.

Re-released for 2015, re-mastered and re-pressed with all the original Trax label artwork present in conjunction with the official rights holders / owners. An essential addition to any dance music lovers crate! Don't snooze on this...

I was thrilled when Joe Goddard asked if he could make an EP for the label and were even more thrilled when I heard it. The fact that he roped in the legendary Kool Keith to appear on one track just kept on bringing the thrills.

Here are some lovely words from Joe about this release - 'It's an honour to release some music for this label. I feel that due to the ravages of unrestrained and brutal capitalism, people across the world are finding life particularly difficult right now- both economically and emotionally. Capitalism is an insidious and elusive enemy and many people are currently turning to intolerance and hatred instead of recognising that at these times what we really should attempt to do is love and respect each other as much as possible. Therefore I support Keith's efforts wholeheartedly, and on a personal level I couldn't think of a nicer or more talented person to release an EP with.'

AF Trax's message is very simple. The far right ultimately wish for the destruction of our way of life and indeed the lives of many of the people we love. The message is love. The message is solidarity. The message is No Pasaran - They shall not pass. It is a call to stand together, it is a call to stand up, it is a call to ACT. Individually we may be powerless, but together we are strong.

If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention!

A true lynchpin of the Detroit underground. Sharif Laffrey has been producing music & djing internationally for over 20 years. Sharif's participation in Detroit's early rave scene during the early 1990s led him to music, djing & organizing underground loft parties. Sharif became part of Detroit's Submerge squad as he worked & lived in its storied 2030 Grand River Avenue headquarters working for Mike Banks as an operative for Underground Resistance & Submerge.

On the label that got him back in the game, Brian Harden returns to D3 Elements, this time with a remix EP of Chicago To Detroit, that featured on the Black 3 EP. This EP features 3 remixes, one By Brian himself and the others by Detroit's Patrice Scott and Atlanta's Byron The Aquarius.First up is man of the moment, Byron The Aquarius, riding high after his releases on Sound Signature and Wild Oates, with his ethereal take on the original. With it's cosmic sounds weaving in and out, Byron manages to infuse his soulful sound on the track to take it to a otherworldly territory. Brian is up next with his 'Chicago Sur Seine Mix', introducing a steel drum and some beautiful pads that are reminiscent of 808 State's, Pacific 202. While still keeping with the original's pace, this remix has more of a down tempo feel, and would fit perfectly in those late night/early morning sets. Finally Patrice Scott delivers a more beat driven Detroit take on the original, with an emphasis on the hi hats and clap that really gives the track that driven feel. While still paying respect to the original, half way through Patrice takes it to another level with his atmospheric keys that round off a great remix EP.

Very nicely executed reissue of this up to now 'secret weapon' played by Djs such as Theo Parrish, Marcellus Pittmann, Mike Huckaby, Jeremy Underground and MCDE... Check!
"We are happy to announce our first reissue 12" on MCDE Recordings, a record from Manchester Deep House label Rainy City Music (written by Irfan Rainy & Rex Leon in 1995), thave we have been working on licensing for over a year now; a record that had been a secret weapon of Djs such as Theo Parrish, Marcellus Pittmann, Mike Huckaby, Jeremy Underground and myself - arguably one of the finest house music 12-inches to ever come out of the UK.

To mark the 20th birthday of the release, we have carefully remastered the tracks from the original DAT tapes and only slightly modified the original cover artwork.
Its All in the Groove baby! "

A slightly rugged rhythm creeps out of the speakers as muffled drums build into a hypnotic wave of rough and fuzzy samples topped with layers of springy synth lines. The distorted essence makes it seem as if it was produced with the help of a cheap sampler and drum machine in some Chicago basement back in the days, but it's not. After pleasing us with loads of his disco cuts, HDSN is back with a more controversial record for our NBASTWAX005 . Dreamer' is a dusty four track beauty, that shows us another side of the young beat maker. HDSN´s music isn´t typically associated with lo-fi house, but if you are into the genre, you owe it to yourself to give it a listen. #datsoulthang

Make Noise Records is excited to announce our upcoming release of Brett Naucke's "Electronic Hypnosis Program" EP.

Recorded in Chicago on a Eurorack system full of Make Noise modules, "Electronic Hypnosis Program" presents an eclectic collection of experimental electronic works for sampled voice, field recordings and synthesized sound.

"Electronic Hypnosis Program" follows Naucke's acclaimed 2018 release "The Mansion" (on Spectrum Spools), and continues his exploration of marrying an ever-evolving practice of advanced synthesis techniques with personal and conceptual narratives. Beyond live performance, Naucke has provided the original scores for several films, sound design for interactive gaming, and presented many works for multi-channel audio installations.

" Music may not actually have height, width or depth, but Brett Naucke's certainly feels three-dimensional. Using synthesizers, field recordings and a variety of other sources, the Chicago-based artist crafts expansive pieces that are like physical spaces you can enter and explore."

-Marc Masters, NPR

"Electronic Hypnosis Program" will be released on November 1st, on clear 12" vinyl in an edition of 300, with full-color artwork by Chicago-based visual artist Bill Connors.

‘Dropped Out Sunshine’ is NYC mutant Madteo’s incredible new album of trigger-happy club graffiti on Demdike Stare’s DDS, weighing in a keenly anticipated follow-up to 2012’s cult-classic
‘Noi No’ LP for Sähkö Splitting at the seams with deviant funk and irrepressible attitude, Madteo’s first LP in 7 years forms a fractal, mixtape-like mosaic of asymmetric techno informed by skewed traces of rap, House, R&B and dancehall. Its 12 tracks are delivered in an enviably nonchalant, freehand style that’s become the Italian-American artist’s ear-snagging signature since 2012’s ‘Noi No’ and ‘Mad Dip Revue’ albums, and also a dozen 12”s and mixtapes over the interim; all of which exerted heavy inspiration for everyone from Andy Stott and Joy O to Demdike Stare over the past decade, making this new LP a perfectly unusual fit for the anything-goes DDS aesthetic shared by label alumni including Mica Levi, Equiknoxx, Iueke and Shinichi Atobe.
Without beating around the bush, ‘Dropped Out Sunshine’ is a straight-up masterpiece of cut-up sampledelia bound to make the club dance differently. Crammed with sawn-off edits that never lose the thread, its wild and effortlessly inventive turns of phrase are anathema to linear club music convention, generating fizzing alchemy from mutually exclusive bedfellows such as dancehall and techno, or R&B and noise that could really only be executed by a producer of Madteo’s calibre. Yet for all its singular nature, the album is also patently symptomatic of the times,
sub-consciously parsing a gripping intimacy, personality and urgent yet elusive psychedelia from ubiquitous media overload.
Kicking off with another *****-sampling zinger ‘1 4 U’ (following his infamous use of ‘Marvin’s Room’ on ‘Noi No’), and ending up mired in the melancholy gauze of ‘The Lies That Bind’, at each step the
album effortlessly resists a struggle to square the nature of artistic expression. Fragments of gospel blues noise intersect gauntlets of filtered house fuckry, while restless Autechrian electro rubs up against uncoiled trap and needle-worrying levels of textured bass turbulence, leading to an outrageous turn of stuttering ragga-tekno in ‘Resident Alien (Broke-’n-Steppers Reluctant Club Mix)’ and a final side of collapsed, post-club styles that will leave listeners wondering wtf just happened, and ready to do it all again.
