"The unknown duo Raw Joints steps up for the FIRST release on the eponymous label.
A four-track EP made of raw analogue elements, banging snares and smothie pads, accompanied by elements of jacking and house infused grooves."

The debut EP of new-born Junction Records begins with thorough exploration of driving and percussive techno sounds in the form of label head Cool Tiger's Warehouse for All'. From atmospheric, suspensive build-ups to warped vocals and glitchy fills, this intelligent production from Paris based producer is a sweet taster of things to come and stands proud and deserving as A1 on this release. Next up on this release we move to groovier territory with French duo M&C's Droofin'. Swinging percussion and warm, soft synths are undoubtedly the driving force behind this track. Old School grooves contrasted with luscious, slow-moving pads in the breakdowns combine to create an infectious and familiar house sound. In coherence with Junction's pattern, the final track on this release from German duo Dominik Fry and Skipio is as warm as you would expect. Hypnotising vocals, hovering subby pads and gentle arpeggiators characterise this melodic easy-listener.

The Spanish duo of Javier Carballo and Carlos Sanchez have been making serious waves with their brand of deep and trippy underground house. For their debut collaborative Decay EP there are 3 killer originals and a bonus groove heavy remix from the hotly tipped Rhythm&Soul.

Next up on Detroit Wax is a phenomenal two track EP from the prolific eddie fowlkes(techno originator - godfather of techno soul). Renowned for their ability to seamlessly fuse together elements of urban techno & urban house and old school funky influences, and the DJ production from the home land of Detroit.
Side A.

Jumping straight in on the No.1 spot on iTunes South Africa on day of release and already one of the most celebrated albums of 2014 in the motherland, House veteran DJ/producer Ralf GUM unleashes his third album, 'In My City', unto the rest of the world on his acclaimed GOGO Music label. Featuring huge-hitters Hugh Masekela, Monique Bingham, Omar, Dele Sosimi, Kafele, Portia Monique,Lee Bling, Jocelyn Mathieu and KB this is a long-player not to be missed.
This is the first 12' sampler from Ralf Gum 's album 'In My City'

The second release of Girasole Records is made by Daniele Temperilli. He released before on SlapFunk Records, Quality Vibe Records, MLH and Kakudo Records. Now on his own imprint Girasole Records with 4 housecuts. A1 is starting deep with a slower vibe. A2 is more energetic,
but still has that lazy vibe. The b-side is more rough. B1 is a straight going track with a profound twist. B2 is the most rough and energetic tooltrack of the EP.

Having paved the way for bass-ridden, garage-garnered old school-ish house, coming crisp and mighty through the vinyl dust, Kakudo Records offers you a pressurized pressing of Various Artists here. Another timeless drop of our beloved vintage style!

A1: Librarian - Free Ice Cream
Librarian lives up to his name and comes hot on the heels of his Waxtefacts imprint's former tracks. Raw but full of melody. Discofied synths and strings full of sexy dust n dirt take us back to the sample-fied early days of housemusic. The bass keeps joyfully rumblin' while Latin percussions and vox power the deeper spheres. In the end, It's all hands up. What else, when the offer is free ice cream!

A2: Wouter S. & Firdjel Medar - Breakin' Habitz
Dutch House young shot Wouter S. has been raising stakes, whether with a podcast for Feel My Bicep or a guest mix for Shadow Child on Rinse FM. The collabo delivers what may not only be a Rinse anthem. Medar made himself another Utrecht force to be reckoned with by releasing on Slapfunk. Techno, House, early UK rave sounds - a holy communion, fueled by 909 machinery. Active, even psychoactive jackin' - all over!

B1: Jizz - From Underground
Jizz is hailing from Mexico and coming with a blast: straight and undiluted he represents from the revered Underground that keeps bass-ridden house funky. With a bass that is the riddim and a riddim that is the bass. Call it garage or call it whatever, this sho nuff will be movin' hips and shufflin' feet!

B2: Kolja Gerstenberg - Our World
Venturing slightly into minimalist and low slung house grooves, wonderkid Kolja Gerstenberg (of late Boiler Room Debuts fame) makes some vocal chops in hiphop manner and moody organs the order of the day. While he keeps a percussive beat taking its relentless toll. Forward ever, backward never. That's our future world at Kakudo!

Mr. G's annual Record Store Day release!

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.

REPRESSED !!
Chicago anthem from Maurice circa 1988... All 4 mixes re mastered for 2014... Gonna give you acid!

Mint Condition - A brand new record label focussed on excavating the outer fringes of classic House and Techno. Unreleased mixes, classics and overlooked gems mined from the last 20+ of contemporary dance music are the order of the day. From Chicago, Detroit and New York to London and beyond, Mint Condition have got their expert digging hats on to bring you exclusive heat and those rarer than rare jams that have been on your wants list for years! Dig in....

'Mystic' Bill Torres is a producer that we feel deserves more props! A Miami born, Chicago dwelling artist who's output has gained total cult status among lovers of that deep, narcotic, late-night groove that he has made his own.

Bill's sound is everything that House music should be, it encapsulates the smoky after hours and throbbing dance-floors of darkened spaces where folks really get down. Fitting then, that a lot of Bill's music is seriously sought after by DJ's and dancers from all over, most of his records are at the top of the wants lists of House fanatics who truly understand the music. 'Classics from the vault vol.1' is one such record - Originally released on Cajmere's mighty Relief Records back in 1997 it wears it influences on it's sleeve proudly, track titles such as 'Late night at the music box' obviously reference where Bill's sound is coming from, but his style is completely original and crystallizes the energy and expression of Ron Hardy and Chicago's heady dance music history into something fresh and individual. In short, Mystic Bill is the shit and if you're not hip to his music you certainly will be once you get into this EP. 4 tracks of top shelf, late night weaponry right here - reissued with love and still sounding as fresh as it did on it's original release in '97! Take a 'Mind ride'!

'Classics from the vault vol.1' has been legitimately re-released with the full involvement of Mystic Bill Torres for 2017 and remastered by London's Curve Pusher from the original DAT especially for Mint Condition. 100% legit, licensed and released. Dug, remastered, repackaged and brought to you by the caring folks at your new favourite reissue label - Mint Condition!

Grey Marbled Vinyl

Black & white marbled vinyl. 5 excellent tracks from Replika, Evan Michael, Hannes Heisster, Jeff Fader and Quadrakey. Lovely 5. House music with a deep passion.

The annual Deep Love compilation has become one of our most important releases to showcase what Dirt Crew Recordings is all about. It gives us the chance to highlight and welcome new faces alongside the residents who keep the Deep music we stand for alive. This year more than ever we have artists from all over the World, from Japan to Canada and Lithuania to Austria represented. The man the myth...Mr. Nightcrawler himself is back with another masterpiece. True to his usual unique blend of many styles, Nachtbraker has delivered typically off-kilter 'Cobi Cabani' with crashes and sound design that punctuate a freaky bass and rippling lead. Dropping in for his debut outing on our label, Viennese resident of Sass club and founder of the 'Secret Crunch' imprint, Roman Rauch brings the filtered Disco House. Ripe with fruity percussion and deeply ingrained groove, 'Sweet Ears' breathes and builds keeping up energy to work bodies throughout the cut. Close friend of the Dirt Crew family and member of Detroit Swindle's Live super group, Lorenz Rhode is an extraordinary artist who's not only active in the House Music scene but also created his own Big Band, the Rundfunk-Tanzorchester Ehrenfeld. He gets right to it in 'On Top' a legit live key and bass jam with all the funk from a seasoned jazz musician. From across the Atlantic we have Toronto's Jesse Futerman teaming up with Dan Only, Jesse remixed Harry Wolfman's last EP on DC and is known for his laid back house grooves.

Cahoots Records continues to bring new house sound to light with respect to the past influences that have shaped it's history.  Volume 6 continues the Cahoots tradition of combining 4 striking house trax on one record. 

HOOTS006 kicks off by way of Harrison BDP, a young talent from the UK.  'Sole' packs the right amount of driving bass, spacey pads and aerial vocal moments, topped with an old school-tinged groove. 

A2 moves into firmer territory as Cahoots welcomes another U.S. artist to the roster, Jackson Ryland.  A talented producer and DJ, Jackson has performed at Cahoots Records events in New York and in his hometown of Washington, D.C. Ryland's 'Don't Rush Me' mixes a shuffling groove with hard hitting bass that tastefully challenges the routine four-to-the-floor flow.

Heat Vibes raises the temperature on the B-side with some raw and heavy house straight from Mexico City. 'Mind Rek' conjures up mind-blowing bass and drums that only Heat Vibes can deliver. The track's use of distorted sounds and straight-forward rhythms dish out serious attitude. 

Volume 6 closes out on a high note as Cahoots welcomes its first NYC artist, Greco. A talented producer and DJ, Greco has performed at Cahoots parties in NYC and maintains a busy touring schedule with gigs around the US and abroad. Greco's 'Dub In This Life' merges organ stabs, sweeping synths and a jacking groove with an old school New York flair.

THE SECOND PRE-SAMPLER
FROM THE UPCOMING ALBUM BY RON TRENT CALLED
"HUMANS, DRUMS & MACHINES".

The third (& final) instalment of DJ Deeon's unreleased and archival EP's is here! In the spirit of the previous 2 we've asked the man to dig into his tapes for those rare and raw cuts that the make the heads salivate! Kicking things off in fine style is Deeon's take on of 'Let it be house' from 1997, included here is a longer, unreleased mix of this absolutely banging near-cover version of Mike Dunn's perennial Chicago classic. This one is sure to do damage, a booming call to arms for the soldiers of house nation! Essential business. 'Exta-C' is up next, according to Deeon himself this is one he constantly gets asked about so it made sense for it to be back out there on the streets. Pure, unadulterated jacking zone material, funky as f*ck and unforgiving. A surefire winner in the dance! 'Kurokin Push' starts proceedings on side-b, a manic acid tinged killer with a bassline that oozes funk. Swinging in all the right ways this jam is destined to be big and sits nicely with all the other rare as hens teeth selections on the EP. Deeon fans will not be disappointed! Next up we have the infamous 'Boody Mover' from 1997, remastered straight offa the DAT! A sly nod to Jack Frost's acid classic 'Dap Me'. We felt this one sits nicely (no pun intended) in amongst the other cuts on this EP, some vintage ghetto DM sh*t right here, storming! 'if this don't make your booty move your booty must be dead'! Last, and certainly not least, we have Deeon's 'Low end theory' project from 1995 giving us 'Wicked', a demented acid track that tweaks in all the right places! A perfect finisher to this 5 cut monster of an EP showcasing one of the pioneers of this sound. All in all, a collection of essential jams for the freaks here, snooze ye not! Every track on here has been remastered and repressed with the full consent and involvement of DJ Deeon and Parris Mitchell, selected and programmed from Deeon's private archives and DAT tapes for Above Board, London. 100% hater free.

(3LP + CD. triple pack with full colour outer & inner sleeves) Floorplan is already well known as Robert Hood's house outlet, which this year evolves into a family affair with co-production alongside his daughter, Lyric.

"We live in a world filled with adversity, The key to surviving and even thriving in this era of uncertainty is knowing how to walk in victory. The truth is we are more than conquerors. We are VICTORIOUS." Floorplan

Floorplan is already well known as Robert Hood's house outlet, which this year evolves into a family affair with co-production alongside his daughter, Lyric. 'Victorious' is the second Floorplan album and follow-up to 2013's 'Paradise' which spawned 'Let's Ride, 'Baby Baby' and the massive 'Never Grow Old'. The new album itself is preceded by the double-headed single 'Music' / 'Tell You No Lie'.

As Robert once again extends his minimal techno sound via his 'Paradigm Shift' project on Dekmantel, he also returns his focus to house, disco, funk and gospel to the Floorplan show, which now takes a surprising twist. Having watched her father DJ the world over from the shadows and numerous appearances in the Floorplan DJ set Lyric Hood comes centre-stage alongside her father.

"Hear my soul speak, is the only way I can describe the way I feel about Floorplan, (Victorious) music is in my soul, my blood, I eat and sleep beats, music, rhythms, it's in my DNA. So Please, HEAR MY SOUL SPEAK." Lyric Hood

The Floorplan project first came to light in 1996 when Hood used it to announce his Drama imprint with the highly sought after 'Funky Souls' EP (subsequently re-issued by Rush Hour in 2010). Lying dormant for over a decade, the late 2000's saw a revitalized Hood re-establish Floorplan into what may well now be his most widely known musical outlet. This year, with his daughter making Floorplan a family affair, the duo's 'Victorious' album is primed to set the world's dancefloors alight.

Launching with the heady house swirl of 'Spin', Robert and Lyric then drop the deeper stylings of lead single 'Music' which builds into a hypnotic, bass-driven anthem. Picking up on Hood's trademark razor-sharp percussion 'The Heavens & The Earth' brings the Bible to the floor (with added funk) and 'Good Thang' shows the strong influence of Chicago as a simple refrain turns into a house missile from the pulpit!

'He Can Save You' continues the Chicago/Gospel theme but with a more driving techno edge whilst 'Mmm Hmm Hmm' marries powerful chords to trumpets, dynamic bass, booty refrains and skilful sampling creating yet another hands up anthem. 'Ha Ya' has that stripped back minimal feel we all know and love and perhaps the closest we get to touch on the classic Hood sound whilst 'Tell You No Lie' is pure, un-adulterated disco-string drenched fun(k) and already tearing down dancefloors as we speak.

'Push On' takes us back to the tight, knife-edged percussion of Chicago's house vanguard, reminding of the tougher sounds of DJ International and DJ Deeon, DJ Funk and Boo Williams. 'They Can Tell' kicks in with a no-nonsense, foot stomping kick drum as Floorplan chop up the vocal refrain into what becomes the main hook of the track and finally 'Sun In the Sky' brings the disco back with yet another string-laden anthem to bring the Floorplan show to a fittingly, uplifting end.

Peter Kremeier, AKA Losoul, has always been an artist we've greatly admired here at Hypercolour, so it's a real thrill to have him on the label at long last. A huge catalogue of eclectic, distinctive and funky music for labels like Playhouse, Moodmusic and Freak 'n' Chic, Losoul turns in two exceptional tracks on the 'Slowly Turning' release here.
'Daddy, What's A Rise' is classic Losoul; a heavy low slung groove never lets up, with micro disco stabs and distant vocal snippets, looping round and round for over 10 minutes, but without ever standing still, the filtering and deft touches keep things moving at just the right funky pace.
B side cut 'Time & Space' is a glitchy and dubbed out affair, a solid 4/4 beat underpins a myriad of delayed percussion and panning synths, spatial effects and an incessant chord stab, head music for the heads indeed!
Losoul contributes to the Hypercolour resurgence that has pulled in left of center releases from the likes of Eliphino, West Norwood Cassette Library, Will Azada and Maya Jane Coles over recent months, with plenty more goodies lined up for the coming months ahead.

"After a run of new signings in 2016 - Aus music kick of 2017 with something a little bit different. To inaugurate the new year they welcome in Catz 'N Dogz for three separate interpretations of classic records from the Aus Music archives. Cherry picked from the vast back catalogue are tracks from Bicep, Geeeman and George Fitzgerald - all of which are given a rough, smokey treatment from the PETS Recordings owners. Kicking things off is the remix of Geeman's 'Wanna Go Bang- he title track from his punchy 12-inch from 2015 that now sees a driving and percussive reworking. Bicep 'The Game' is next in line - a track from the Irish duos first solo outing on Aus back in 2013. Soft, overlapping chords are propelled by snapping drums and multiple melodic lines that build an allaying palette The remix of George Fitzgerald's 'Hindsight' then caps things off as more frazzled drums propel a stuttering vocal line and a warped synth pattern. Continuing to keep things fresh - Aus look ahead to another year of new signings and surprises and kick off here with a reminder of the solid foundation that has come before it"
