Another extra hot Rebirth limited colored 10''....the third volume of the Back To The Future EP is another double A side for your collection !Adrien and Marco aka Villanova hail from France and have really put their sound on the map in recent times.
Taken from the 'Monk EP' released a few months ago, 'On The Loose' is an innovative track combining the dark bluesy vocals from Elbi with a unique brand of electronic soul.
Here is a special version produced by Mr Fingers aka Larry Heard. The result is a stunner: electronic samba beats, lush live keys, a simple but purely effective bassline, and an emotive cosmic touch that could only come from one of the pioneers of House Music.On the flip, Amsterdam-based DJ/producer Philou Louzolo is responsible of a great new version of 'Smokey' by Easy To Remember. Born in Tuscany in Arezzo, since 2008 the Italian duo by brothers Elia Perrone and Niro have been running their own night at Klang Club and their label Unclear Records.
'Smokey' is a tasty boogie track and Philou Louzolo draws on his Congolese, Sierra Leonian and Nigerian heritage taking us on an exquisite journey combining soul, funk, disco with his funky afro-infused touch. The track anticipates a brand new Easy To Remember EP set for a release later in the year.
Something from the past...and something for the future !

We welcome onboard Leeds based producer LK, already released on the great Shall Not Fade, with 3 fantastic housy tracks plus an superb remix from the talent Baltra fron NY.

With the Motorforce EP, Pépe joins the Renascence family in its fourth installment. A both tear-jerking and hot-blooded collection of music inspired by long highway drives in the Spanish summer, Pépe goes from lost-in-the-tarmac-jungle percussions to relentlessly emotional energy with melllow and nostalgic synths. Dan White brings you deeper than the Marianas trench through a light, spellbinding, dub rework under the Rings Around Saturn moniker to top off the emotional trip that this entails.

5th Chineurs de House series, and debut EP for this young and amazing fela from Hamburg Germany. This EP lays between Old School Deep House and LoFi, the perfect compromise to either kill the dancefloor or hit the road.

Jerome Derradji + Still Music are proud to present Let's Dance Records - Mike Macharello & Duane Thamm Jr. Chicago 1983-85. The origin of house music, at least in a commercial sense, is generally associated with young African American producers from Chicago's South Side, but one of the first Chicago house music labels was started by a young, white, gay DJ from the far west suburbs.
The Let's Dance story will take you back to the beginnings of Mike Macherello and Duane Thamm Jr. when Chicago's house music was in its infancy.
Back then, after starting as young roller disco Dj in the late seventies, Mike Macherello gradually made its way to the best radio station in 1981 - WBMX - and started a movement that still ripples through the city today. Let's Dance's founder, Mike Macharello, was a DJ who bridged diverse music scenes, from rock clubs to discos. The Let's Dance record label helped establish Chicago's dance music industry between 1983 and 1985, before becoming Play House Records (which will be reissued by Still Music in an upcoming set). Macharello's pal, DJ Duane Thamm Jr., also from the 'burbs, became the label's main producer and one of house music's most important studio engineers and producers. Mike and Duane went on to release a few legendary singles for Let's Dance that are still to this day considered to be the earliest House music records coming from Chicago.The 12' pack includes faithful reissues of Selenia's 'Single Girl', Duane Thamm Jr. 'Jump Trax', the insane Knight Action 'R-Trax/D-Rail' 12's along with a 5 tracks 12' compilation and an accompanying poster insert including rare pictures and artifacts with the story of the label.

Five point after dark is the first release of the new label called Katnip owned by Larry de Kat. It contains five suave productions ranging from hiphop to house and back. This EP has a sincere vibe and should appeal to the real connaisseur with its diverse and unique track selection. We can guarantee you will have some good times listening to this music be it in the club, on the road or just relaxing at home. For the baddest cats only.

Warehouse find!!! A 100 copies white label test pressing with industrial cyber punk techno tracks rooted in the good old Unit Moebius tradition and pressed at the now defunct Space Wars industries pressing plant of Guy Tavares aka dj Schmerzlabor! No nonsense dancefloor material from Da GobliNN, on this Bunker relelated release that never got released because the box with the records got lost in 2013... only a handful went on sale on Clone.nl and never got restocked or distributed untill now (Only 1 person on discogs got it in his collection!) Single sided with nice space wars edging on the flip side! Last copies ever...

Denney has ricocheted through the dance music circuit since his first Hot Creations release in 2012, raising the stakes higher with each record and gaining props from everyone from Annie Mac to Mixmag, who named him their 'Future Hero'. 'Visualise' lands on Crosstown Rebels on 27th May with three original cuts from Denney and a Luke Solomon remix.
From the headsy house of the title track, to the deep and enthralling pulse of 'Senses' and the rolling melodies of 'Hallucinate', Denney illustrates the breadth of his raw and burgeoning talent. While Classic record founder and chart topping Freaks frontman Luke Solomon steps up to shake up 'Visualise' with his awe-inspiring take on the original, hot a you like!
Denney cut his teeth at the legendary Back To Basics in Leeds, where he now holds a residency. This release his first for Damian Lazarus's pioneering imprint and another step up in the ranks for this rising star. 'Crosstown Rebels has been one of my favourite record labels over the last decade so am really excited to be releasing with them."

Kristiana is the brand new sub label of Miso Records, owned by the Worldwide renowned Charles Webster.

Nick Klein and Maoupa Mazzocchetti recorded some wild jams while touring together last year for an Unknown Precept label showcase. Combining noisy sounds with live melodic synth riffs as well as a jacking 808, Klein and Mazzocchetti made some harsh left-of-center techno. With time signature and tempo changes mid-track, this music has a zero fucks given attitude. Recorded in Berlin. Hand stamped 7 inches manufactured in the USA. Quality music for your soul!

Rob Amboule is a relatively fresh name on the scene, the young artist stepped onto 2020Vision's radar following the London based producers self released white-label, KERRI01. A record which put Amboule on the map and was heavily supported by the likes of Paul Woolford, who closed the Space Terrace with one of the cuts last year, and Heidi on her Radio 1 show. This introductory single has now led to a full EP of original material for 2020 here, joining the likes of Ejeca, Huxley and Maya Jane Coles on the roster.

The release kicks off with 'Kerri', a raw deep house cut, embracing a classic aesthetic, the record employs an amalgamation of cutting chords, blooming pads and vocal snippets, running alongside swinging 909 drums. 'Pushin' On' follows, displaying a more understated, reserved approach to Amboule's productions, as he tightly blends swirling pads, resonant synths, and shuffling percussion, with sensual vocal lines uttering the tracks title. Amboule adds a further musicality to the track in the centre stages, throwing in a tension building synth string for good measure.

Last up to close the single is 'Part Three', taking on a retro US House approach, with its crunchy claps, warm, evolving Rhodes melodies and stabbing bass hooks, these elements build the foundations of the record while subtle nuances in the drum programming and background atmospherics add character.

Meet colors.
Likely to rainbow emerging after the wealthy rain, the range of lively streams comes out to illuminate the surrounding, here is the 1st vol. of the various artists contribution to the release.
Permanently re-inventing himself Peter Clamat, Big Bait Records owner, the artist of UKNOWY, Neovinyl Recordings and already appearing on Sex Panda White with Neptune EP with Ishmael & Leo Wölfel remixes is the man after the opening 'Living Color' track, full of energy, deep chords and raw house drums.
Moony Me is a German-Venezuelan producer and DJ, based in Munich/Vienna, signed to Uncanny Valley, Apparel Music, Toy Tonics. He takes the next step on the release with 'State Of Bliss' played around the melodic arpeggios, screaming vocals and authentic house energy.
Anonymous guy Mystep is a sound producer and singer with releases on Large Music, Apparel Music, Lapsus Music working with major singers in electronic world like Cari Golden, Burnski's voice Beckford and Rahjwanti, is putting his hand to the smooth and laidback deep & funky 'Think' track featuring the vocals by Parisian LaVoyce.
The track elegantly performed by Mystep & LaVoyce is somewhere between deep house and funk, rich with guitars, hammond organs is the good story in the end.
We are very happy to have Americans Pools who after producing the album from our friends from Razor-N-Tape found time to contribute for full length release on Sex Panda White (oops, soon to follow) and 'Etobicoke' - the chill edit which is the logical ending of the whole 'Colors' release.
That's it, play it and make a shout on it and be sure to get one of 200 limited vinyl copies!
Yours, Sex Panda White team

The Craft Spells remix 12' shows two extremes. The Whatever/Whatever remix is lush, dense and full of texture. Simonetti's approach is a more unorthodox, minimal, loop heavy affair, adding hints of melody in unexpected places - tying it all together in the end...

TRACKSIDE unearths more precious gems direct from the lost tapes of the mysterious ZAGITTARIUS. These are guaranteed authentic finds that were thought to be gone forever. One-side limited edition pressing

RAWAX prouldy welcomes Rhythm Of Paradise to the Family! It happened last autumn when our label head Robert Drewek was traveling to Bari to play a gig with his friend Nico lahs. He met this very symapthic & crazy guy and felt in love with the music he showed him. So here's the result - a trip back to the 90's - enjoy!

The long wait is over!

All this Artists are no strangers in the game.

Starting off with S-ampel, having released on labels like One records, Dekay and downhill music- he delivers 2 tracks that will fill your dancefloors for sure with his caracteristic hypnotic sound with heavy baselines.


To round Out thing up, comes from our south American fellas.... Kike Mayor (Saint&dont) and Bruno Schiavi(Drumma Records) taking things Deeper for the early evening or afters.

Deep Space Orchestra is Chris Barker and Simon Murray, a pair of mature music lovers who have been DJing and making music for years. When together they conjure up emotive soundscapes full of lithe and rubbery bass, rich synth patterns and authentic real world textures. They have done so on their own labels Jack & Wang and Use of Weapons, as well as on Delusions of Grandeur, Foto Recordings, Quintessentials and Scenery. Never repeating the same trick twice, they conjure up original moods and grooves that don't rely on trends of the day nor obvious sample pack sounds.

Given their considered outlook, it is no wonder Memory is not just a collection of tracks. Instead it is a complete piece of work that has been cooked up over the last three years and has largely been born from a collection of gear they bought with a view to starting to play live. As such it finds them experiment with all manner of new sounds and techniques, and the results are triumphant indeed.

Things kick off with 'Feel No Pain,' a melodically dense and frazzled cut with a crisp boom bap drive that carries us to outer space. From there, the pair lay out intergalactic house sounds littered with spoken word snippets and perfectly poised synth patterns as per 'Selassie' and the suggestively electro tinged cut 'Let's Save.'

Even when the tempo picks up and things grow more physical such as on 'Voodoo Wingman', real musicality and proper arrangements still remain. More introverted, bass led tracks like 'Dream States' do a fine job of connecting with our inner, visceral lust for rhythm and brain soothing, car driving sound tracks come stoned synthscapes like 'Mission Hills' and colourful closer 'Starman' are genuinely emotional affairs that truly resonate.

Following up from that brilliant Tom Dicicco from last year, the notorious GCZ is back on his own label. This time he switches the arpeggiators to 'BODY' and it's all go... for a while. Two more tool type versions on the flip..for the DJs. Big Tip from one of our favs!

IMPORTED RECORDINGS WAS BORN... Following 3 years of Parisian parties, featuring 20 of the world's finest DJ's from right across Europe and the U.S, the Imported crew finally gave birth to its baby, Imported Recordings. Building on the promotion of foreign artists in France, Imported have come full circle, now concentrating on showcasing locally grown French talent all over the world. This first record introduces four French artists that they feel are artists to follow. The record opens with Mara Lakour's Rough Crew", a 5-minute fresh and racy deep-house track, unveiling the first rays of summer. After the hit Tribute To GU' on their first 12 'Roots For Bloom', the pair continue to reveal innovative techniques to deliver fresh and experimental sounds. Seamus, a resourceful and inspired co-founder of the project, has finally returned to conclude the A side with Sunshine", a progressive and muscled track referencing the American and European scene. Sunshine' has a rich and textured sound, heavy with the chords and vocals that are so dear to the Parisian producer. Two friends, born and raised in the south of France create Dub Striker, whose sole aim is to devastate the floor with the powerful bass and infectious beat in Walking Dude' which, within a few seconds, sets the tone for the B side. In true connoisseurs, the two friends born and raised in the south of France sign with this track oriented dancefloor an anthem of rare efficiency. Finally, Ortella leaves his mark on the EP with Trouble Maker". A powerful and thoughtful track, Trouble Maker", demonstrates the Lyonnais' expertise as master alchemist, conjuring up and delivering a dose of raw musical power in those darkest hours closest to dawn.

Everyone stop what you're doing; ItaloJohnson has completed its first super-limited pressing of white label 12's in 2015. Each copy of ITJ09 was hand-stamped in a derelict basement deep in Neukolln by gypsies and three anonymous DJs who don't show their faces because they would rather 'let the music speak for itself.' Run to your nearest brick and mortar vinyl dealer and preorder your vinyl NOW because they've only pressed 103 copies and you know the rules: one per customer! Don't hesitate— or you will pay 50 Euro for it at Record Loft.
The EP offers up three jacking cuts of the most pure, organic, raw, dusty, deep underground house music to date. What else could you expect from three Germans who were weaned on a steady diet of Detroit and Chicago classics from the day they were born. After receiving an 808 for his 10th birthday, one member of the faceless trio was rumoured to have ghostwritten basslines for some of techno's finest during the early 1990's.
ItaloJohnson truly are 'too deep underground.'

City Fly are very excited to present their latest 12 inch, this time coming from long time friend of the label and all round powerhouse Kez YM. The Leicester label have long been representing for the East Midlands underground house scene, bringing local talent to the world and bringing global connections to their locale. Hot off the back of their 10th release celebration VA and a strong offering from legend Tim Toh, the Japanese connoisseur Kez YM is back with more of the goodness that has made him a favourite of the label from such an early stage.

The EP drips with Kez's trademark blend of deepness, kicking off with the heads down groover of 'Bump into the Sky'. Next up 'Eagle Eye' builds around crisp 909 drums and a super tight bass line. Pure classic vibes from start to finish. Over on the flip 'My Joy' is underpinned by deep, jazzy chords and finishing off we have 'Spiral Traffic' which takes things to a new tip entirely with an almost Latin feel to the chord patterns.

More than 20 years since its original release, Metroplex are offering us another chance at one of Detroit's most significant tracks: "Model 500 - No UFO's". The double-pack will contain the original vocal- and instrumental mix on the first disc, whilst the second disc will contain tributes by Luciano and native Detroiter Moodymann. Pre-orders are essential on this one!

First we start with The Flip a proven mystical track for heated dancefloors, pulsating beatz and ephimeral vocals travel through fine pads and chords. Then Martin Bellomo goes from minimal housed early after hour "La Docta 2040" to peak hour effusive sounds, beloging to "La Volpe". The Flip EP is a journey of feelings, just like a regular night out in the city.
