House Novedades

Office Recordings introduces Trux with Office 07, an extended EP tinged in a smokey blue hue of low-fidelity candour and aberrant compositions. Blankets of white noise and distortion, lap over renditions of hazey house, stripped synth arrangements, jungle breaks, and queer patterns.

The first of three samplers, comprised of selected tracks taken from Spencer Parker's new album, 'Dance Music' out via his own label Work Them Records.

'There was no real concept behind the album, all I knew is that I wanted to do something honest. The tracks I make are the tracks I play in my sets and tracks I want people to dance to - that's where the title comes from.' - Spencer Parker.

Part One of the sampler opens with 'It Was Just A Dream', a ghostly cauldron of glitches, bleeps and sound bites that locks you into a dazed state of hypnosis. Next up, 'The Oh' hits with a taste of classic house, marrying emotive stabs, a tough kick and fizzing ride cymbals.

On the B side, 'You're Under My Control Now' takes the sound industrial combining a Kraftwerk-esque metronomic breath with rapid fire toms and a dynamic kick. 'Absolutely Raving' closes out the first of Parker's 'Dance Music' samplers offering a rave leaning techno weapon that wouldn't be out of place in the hallowed grounds of Berghain.

the first release of Unique Trax from Buenos Aires have two originals of " Dynamena " creative collaboration of Ariel Rodz , Bodeler and Juan Zolbaran . We also have an RMX Leonel Castillo legendary producer and one of the prestigious label Melisma owner,
Felipe Valenzuela, in collaboration with Giuliano Lomonte . Unique trax is focused on spreading the concept sounds more around the house, only on vinyl 12 " and with the participation of Argentine artists and the rest of the world .

Basic Soul Unit, Johannes Volk, Late Night Approach and Luke Hess team up for the 2nd Various Artist ep on Dolly. Deep Detroit rooted quality techno!

Seven exquisite deep house cuts for you by producer Toyin Agbetu. A forgotten hero responsible for some of the most exquisite music out there. From Streetsoul and Hip Hop to moody Chicago and Detroit inspired House and soulful Garage cuts. All crafted with passion, love and devotion. With this EP Frame Of Mind introduces you to some of his finest works recorded under his Shades Of Black alias selected from several out of print 1990-'92 releases from the Intrique label. Must have for fans of Mr Fingers, Larry Heard! Tip!!

Break out Belgian house producer Sjef Wanders follows recent heavily supported appearances on New York's Nurvous Records and 124 Recordings with Don't Front, a two track 12" primed for club play on the Deso Records label. "Don't Front" is deep and dubby house music emboldened by banging low end and it's well complemented by a remix from label owner Desos. The Dane takes things deep in typical fashion, adding a little New Jersey swing and flavour to proceedings .

'Jump Trax' is another essential piece of early Chicago house music crafted by the legendary Duane Thamm JR back in 1984. Fusing together a myriad of influences including early 80's Euro pop, Italo Disco and HI NRG, Thamm JR was responsible for helping create and influence the burgeoning House sound that would emanate from the city all throughout the second half of the 1980's. Not only were these sounds new and fresh, they were experimental too, 'Jump Trax' sees the BPM's gradually shift throughout the duration of the tracks seamlessly giving the more adventurous DJ's out there more ammunition and room to experiment with styles and BPM's. A truly visionary approach to production and all recorded and mixed within Chicago's city limits by Thamm JR at his Reel To Reel Studio located in Villa Park, Illinois. 'Jump Trax' continues to be as influential today as it was back in '84, with many top DJ's still citing the record as a 'go to', powerful indeed.

Chicago's Still Music are proud to present this fully legit, remastered and repressed piece of Chicago house history. A truly pivotal record now made available again for 2018. Essential sound for those who love the real deal - snoozing not advised, OG copies of this monster are hard to come by!

Hailing from Richmond, Virginia, DJ Aakmael's profile has steadily risen over the last decade thanks to his supremely classy deep house sounds. Recent times have seen him release excellent material on the likes of Freerange Records, Axe On Wax, Church and Release Sustain, and now he makes his debut on Monologues Records with two deep cuts. 'Dahlin' is a string-laden stomper while 'Organik' is more of a synth-driven jam with some of his exquisite trademark keys improvisation. Leon Revol returns to the label after his well-received 'Embers' EP to rework 'Dahlin' in wonderfully introspective, hazy style, while label boss Ben Gomori steps up for a chunked-up, darkly-tinged rework of 'Organik'.

Raw Rootz is back with its fifth release following the success of its previous two outings from Papol and Jorge Savoretti, both of which reaching number 1 in the sales charts.

005 is the 'Remakes E.P.' from Spanish producer and rising star Kresy. Here we find Voltereta, a track that honours the grand techno Martian and That Thing, a track that reveals its influence proudly.

The E.P. is completed by Is and Tumaca Disco. Two tracks that best define the sound of an artist who has already shown his talents on labels including Freerange and More Music and led to him becoming one of the shining producers within the Hivern Discs team, captained by John Talabot or Marc Piñol.

Raw dirty jacking tracks fatter than a ferry to Helsingor! Nimam Spregleda provides 4 tracks representing the underground sound of Helsingborg and its tradition of embracing sounds from both Chicago and Karlskrona. Most tracks are on the gritty acid house slant but with a weird punk attitude & the last one is a nutball out-of-sync dancefloor wrestler for drunken sailors. Yes, you need some smalltown DANG from Nimam Spregleda before the ferry arrives. -DJ Joakim Cosmo

Brilliant Wonky-House-primetime-hammer by the Italian genius Kian T aka Andrea Pedra. 12 inches of funky explosions and shuffing grooves - produced, recorded and mastered all analog by the wizard himself.

Very happy to have Henry Wu and Earl Jeffers debuting on MCDE Recordings this fall with their double Sider "Projections/Hi-Life".
Both Pablo Valentino and myself have been fans of their work, be it Henry and Earls solo stuff or the highly adventurous Yussef Kamaal project which Henry introduced 2 years ago.
These guys take the London sound to a whole new level and we are very proud to have them doing their thing on our label.

We're back with the second JACK cassettes series!

Following the success of the first JACK series, we've decided to pull heavyweights out of the treasure trove of Chicago reel to reels acquired by Still Music last year.

This second series is another incredible glance into our beloved House music through some lost radio mixes salvaged from reel to reels by Jerome Derradji.

We start with a superb one hour mix from Frankie Knuckles circa 1986 and dive straight to the Hot Mix 5 with Edward 'Get Down' Crosby and his insane mixes, full of edits and original beat traxx. A small detour to Miami is made with a killer electro mix by WGCI guest Joe Magic.

Pull out the tape deck, move the furniture away and JACK!

Often called one of Chicago's talented hidden gems, singer/songwriter/DJ/producer Tai Davis means House in almost every sense. He's dropped vocals for and worked with established producers such as Paul Johnson, Stacy Kidd, and also Galactik Knights, DJ Sound, Nate Caswell and DJ Yakka. Preferring to use vintage analog gear, his classic house sound consistently packs dance floors worldwide!

We don't make dance records, We make records you can dance to!

Alex took his first musical steps by studying piano and guitar at the young age of 6. His fascination for the more outlandish, experimental side of each instrument corrupted his lessons and sent him down a modular synths and tape loop composition wormhole. Years later Alex resurfaced, got himself clean and, through connections made while spending time as a vocal audience member (and sometimes uninvited participant) at Lyman Woodard, Phil Ranelin, and other Tribe- and Motown-linked gigs in Cass Corridor during the mid-1970s, spent time as a session musician for Earth Wind and Fire, Chic, and Prince. It was only toward the mid-90s he found himself enthralled by the techno and house sounds of Detroit and Chicago so he went into the woodshed and came out firing electronic salvos.

We here at Watergate Records are ecstatic to bring you the first single release 'Do Me feat. Khan', from Tiefschwarz in anticipation of their stunning new album, 'Left'. Along with a couple of carefully curated remixes by from two of the most prolific and unique remixers working today, Roman Flügel and Frank Wiedemann, the complete package is a trifecta. The original 'Do Me feat. Khan' is fully rooted in Tiefschwarz's cryptic dance floor approach, intricately balancing the serious and the absurd through the call and response of an almost comedically vocoded voice and a smooth, slick talking murmur. Khan's voice joined with a continually climbing bassline, lush percussive melodies and infectious drums result in a cut that is perfect for, and will shine, any time. Going a different direction by barely using the vocal, but staying very true to the original is Roman Flügel. Taking the original bassline and shortening the loop to 3/4 time, Flügel has devised a hypnotic tail chase that continues from beginning to end only to be accompanied by the whip of a big hi hat and wild 909 claps. Finally, it's the Frank Wiedemann Orchestra Remix, and it's pretty safe to say that this will be one of the anthems of the year. Aptly titled, the remix is a magnum opus conducted by a master. An enormous ensemble of rich strings and delicate melodies that build and swell from start to finish.

Swiss imprint deepArtSounds strikes back with his second special limited edition produced by the label figurehead Anthony Nicholson from Chicago. 250 copies pressed.
Teaching everyone about making proper, grooving, jazzy deep house music, both tracks on here are worth their weight in wax. "Optimum", a track dominated by the superb soulful vocals by Jrod Indigo makes you feel some pounds lighter. "Destination" is a re-intepretation of the 80ies rare funk tracks with a touch of jazz!

Following the completely sold out 'Imagine - A - Nation' and 'Le Fusion' reissues, Anotherday brings you a very special release from the vault of the enigma that is Spencer Kincy, AKA Gemini - we are very proud, and extremely excited to present Gemini's first 4 releases, lovingly re-mastered and packaged together in a very limited box set!

Originally released on Relief Records; the Chicago techno label headed up by Cajmere, these releases were Gemini's introduction into the worlds of house and techno, and contain some of his most vital works.

As one of Chicago's most mysterious and revered characters, the story of Gemini, aka Spencer Kincy has become something of a myth in recent years - blazing a trail throughout the 90's, prolifically releasing over 200 tracks from 1994 to 1999, Spencer's music had shades innovation and soul few of his peers could match. Then, suddenly, at the peak of his career, he disappeared.

As before, this album has been licensed directly from the man himself, and the money made from its exploitation will go directly to him.

This box set is limited to 500 UNITS ONLY - the last Gemini reissues sold out 4 x that amount in weeks, so put in your pre orders before they're gone forever.

The final vinyl sampler from the Ralph Lawson Content album features some PBR Streetgang reinterpretations of one of the biggest tracks in the 2020 back catalogue, and an original track by Sacchi & Sasse.

----------

2020Vision celebrates it's 20th anniversary in style this year. As ever, the UK label will do things differently - no dwelling on times past and no back catalogue rehash. Instead, 2020Vision will release 'Content', a compilation mixed by Ralph Lawson featuring 20 exclusive new original tracks and remixes from a dizzying array of arch collaborators. This album will be augmented by a series of parties across the planet including Fabric, Sonar, Hideout, Ibiza, Berlin, New York, Los Angeles, Milan, Munich, Zurich, Glasgow, Leeds and beyond.

You can tell a lot about a label by the friends it keeps, especially when those friends include Matthew Herbert, Eats Everything, Simian Mobile Disco, Groove Armada, Cassy, Matthias Tanzmann, Psychemagik, Dense & Pika, Tom Trago, Huxley, Waze & Odyssey, Ejeca, PBR Streetgang, Doc Daneeka and Citizen among them. A formidable assembly of the world's top electronic music talent by anyone's measure, but put in the context of one album, it makes 'Content' a strong contender for compilation of the year from the tracklist alone.

The PLAYGROUND is pleased to present it's 9th release titled "ALL THE WAY LIVE EP". Originally from Australia, INKSWEL aka JULES HABIB turns in a delightfully funky 4 track EP inviting some of his friends, HENRI LE BLANC, SVEN ATTERTON & MAN MADE MOUNTAIN to join. Raw jams to make you move. Due in the next few weeks. DOPE!

Every WPH Summer brings us...the WPH Summer Special! Well, some summer specials have been known to be released in the winter, with huge acclaim from the cold masses who had something to warm their hearts and souls to. So we figured we would release another summer special in the winter...
The mysterious-but-not-really Harry Baldi kicks things off with 'Something For Your Mind', a sample-ridden up tempo house workout that will also go down a treat on techno floors. Solid Yamaha bass anyone Up next we introduce a new Belgian member to the WPH family. DJ Miclem has quietly been working on his music and now it's time to let some of it out of the studio and onto your decks. This is the vintage WPH sound that got us on the map!

On the b-side WPH mainstay Kiani & His Legion are at it again, bringing you a relentless track that will destroy any club, rave or festival floor. He's got his WPH licence alright! The final wax grooves of this E.P. are taken up by another WPH classic, Maxim Lany, who teams up with his friend Audio City Soul (welcome Maks!) to bring us the slow burner 'Jili'. All in all we think it's another class WPH act.

Bodytonic Music is the new record label from those rascals in Dublin called ...errr Bodytonic . The same chancers behind Dublin clubbing institution the Twisted Pepper, boozer the Bernard Shaw, Raver Cottage , the Beatyard, Doortonic, Scribble Records, POGO Recordings, Kormac's Big Band and plenty more random and nonsensical things, this label has been started to create a home for all those variations in one record label. So expect no two releases to sound the same, or anything in general to overly make much sense - it will all be made up as it goes along.


The first release on the label is the debut EP by White Collar Boy. White Collar Boy are a two piece electronic-garage group from Dublin. Mark Cummins (the ginger one) and Gavin White (the-not-so-ginger one) met in Barcelona where their shared passion for electronic composition (and knitting) inevitably led the pair to merge their creative endeavors.


'SUUU / Tide ' comes fresh with remixes from Twisted Pepper resident Frank B (he of "Chain of Fools" fame) and Simon Bird. It drops on wax on Oct 7th and Digital on Oct 21st. You need this record.

Back in the days at the west-Saxon highlands there was a missile, which marked the starting point. When Credit 00 saw the legendary rocket rise on Tetris' final screen, it was the first time he became aware of electronic music at all. Since then it actually hasn't changed that much. He keeps pushing that buttons that belong to the impressive pool of music machines towered up next to his bed.

After moving to Dresden in 2000 to study fine arts, his passion for synthesizers and drum machines got nurtured through visits of Dresden's club-canalisation. He quickly made himself a name as a DJ, who is just doing his own thing and got popular for that reason. As a part of the Idealfun-crew he started hosting parties always in the twilight zone between legal and illegal. This led to Robo Dance', Dresden's only and (also for some other reasons) best Electro club night featuring guests like DMX Krew, Luke Eargoogle or Imatran Voima. The track Credit made with Randy Barracuda of Imatran Voima has probably been created some time after the show. Apparently, Randy was not in good shape anymore and so Lebensraum' unmistakably bears Credit's hallmarks.

For his own music he's inspired by cannibal movies, number theory and birds. Still, his music is not easy to pigeonhole. After all, he loves Synth Wave, Electro, Afro, Kraut, Kosmische, Disco, Italo, Miami Bass and other Proto stuff - a lot of machine music.

Jose Lau delivers the fifth release on Urban Imagery. Four tracks from familial territory by a producer who originally hails from Managua, Nicaragua. What is evident in Jose Lau's debut release is the unique melding of traditional deep house elements with unassuming latin-funk percussion. Common throughout is his masterful use of Chicago-eque basslines and delicate pad movements alongside minor-key melodic underpinnings. The outcome is buffered by lo-fi harmonics and dub overtones. Late night introspective music to its core.

Another gem from the KMS vaults. This time Chez Damier & Ron Trent's 'The Choice' is fully re issued with the original artwork.

No digital scheduled until summer. Fully re mastered.

An essential 2 x 12" overview of some of the legendary Frankie Knuckles TRAX classics. What else needs to be said One of the godfathers of our scene, a true classic himself, Frankie behind the wheels or behind the boards was simply top shelf all the way down the line. A real original whose influence and touch can still be felt today. His releases on TRAX at the time were the hottest things ever and they still resonate on the dancefloor today with equal measure. Featured here are some of the best tracks fusing Frankie's love of Disco, Euro-pop, Italo and more produced in his initial mid to late 80's golden period. Cuts like 'Baby wants to ride', 'Bad boy' and more, featuring the unmistakable vocal talents of the equally legendary Jamie Principle. It's all here. The perfect starting point for those who have recently discovered the man and his body of work, or equally as stimulating for those who wish to have some classics in their collection. Each track is a classic, each one stands up today and effortlessly rocks the club. Remastered in conjunction with TRAX, repressed from the finest audio sources available. Often imitated, never replicated!
