House Novedades

February 23rd saw the release of Sidney Charles's retrospective full length 'House Lessons' album on AVOTRE. Here we get treated to a second single from the album, complete with a fresh new remix from the original house gangster, DJ Sneak.
German talent Sidney Charles has become an influential producer since emerging in 2011: his full fat, chunky house offerings have become staples in DJ sets and he has served up many modern dance floor classics along the way. Always touring the world and laying down engaging sets full of many house flavours, here we get another fine serving of his unique sound in the form of new single 'Psyjack.'

The track is a full blooded bit of jacking house with tough drums, icy hi-hat loops and rib rattling bass that thumps out a sweaty groove. Oversized and emphatic throughout, some tripped out melodic breakdowns offer intricate musical moments before the physical drums bang once more. It's first rate club music, make no mistake.

It's a perfect track to be re-worked by I'm A House Gangster label boss and all round Chicago house pioneer DJ Sneak. His version is pricklier, and hypnotically loopy. With vocal stabs and barreling kick drums, loose, DIY sounding percussion and shooting synth lines it's a raw and genetic bit of house music that cannot fail to make dance floors sweat.


Once again we are reminded that Sidney Charles is at the top of the modern house pile and that AVOTRE know exactly who to enlist to remix their releases to the greatest effect.

Superb collection of early 90s underground deep house classics by the legendary dub maestro MK. First up is the hard-to-find remix of Terence Trent D'Arby's 'Surrender' which takes D'Arby's soulful vocal and puts some classic MK fire underneath it to create a awesome deep house banger which received heavy rotation both in the clubs and on the airwaves. Next we get one of MK's best dubs - his brilliant take on the B52's 'Tell It Like It T-I-Is', a chugging house belter which adds a haunting bass and melody to the band's expertly chopped up vocal chants. The flip side keeps up the pressure with the awesome dub mix of Betty Boo's 'Thing Goin On', another of his finest dub mixes, and lastly the in-demand classic 'Bicycle Dub' of the Pet Shop Boys' 'Can You Forgive Her', only ever available as a limited promo but huge on the underground scene.

Chicago, Chicago. It's our spiritual home here at Hizou. The city's musical influence and legacy shine brightly and proudly throughout our label. Perhaps never more so than on our latest release from enigmatic native Chicagoan, Spirit Of The Black 808. Having inherited his brother's seminal record collection at a young age and name-checking Larry Heard, Theo Parrish and Malik Pittman amongst his key influences, Sprit Of The Black 808 is steeped in the traditions we adore. His debut EP for us soundly testifies to that. Title-track Infroduction is a shuffling, slo-mo jam laden with atmosphere and groove in the mould of the great Mahogani Music and KDJ, a little more Detroit by design perhaps then, whereas by contrast Electronic Love is downright and unashamedly classic Chicago. Layers of melody and a super-deep groove are stamped all over I FunKd Up, whilst ethereal uptempo tool Rough Joint completes the package.

The official reissue of ERB, a collaboration between Braxton Holmes and Ron Trent on Clubhouse Records from Chicago. 92 style deepness - when things really started to get musical again. Soulful and jazzy vocal, and one for the house heads...huge TIP!
When Ron Trent tried to make a disco record in the early nineties he and his friend Big Ed came up with the song "the Weekend"...For us at Rush Hour this song is considered a landmark title in Chicago house. The song is sweet, soulful, driving and stands the test of time. After all those years you can still play it out and it will sound fresh. When Ron visited Amsterdam in early 2013 he gave us his blessing to re-release this gem. The whole thing has been produced with A third person and he goes by the name of Braxton Holmes. So then Erb probably means (E)d, (R)on, (B)raxton... Enjoy!

Boutique Polish vinyl imprint Astropical Tapes returns for a second outing following the widespread acclaim of Astro Buhloone's inaugural effort Forever with an EP from label boss, Marcin Krupa.

Spa House is named after Krupa's hometown Konstancin-Jeziorna, which is a historic spa resort on the outer reaches of Warsaw's administrative area. The EP is a fittingly soothing affair, from the resplendent strings and vocal harmonies that adorn the rolling title track to the loose, early morning mellowness of Jeziorna. Remixes of the latter come from Universo, who opts for a distorted, acid-licked melodic version, and Studio Barnhus signing Naphta, who chops up a broken beat and woozy chords to discordant effect.

Early support from: Axel Boman, Detroit Swindle, Jimpster, Nachtbraker, Frits Wentink, Loz Goddard, Daniel Drumz

Another fine reissue of a Chicago classic from Jeff Craven and his Large Music imprint focusing again on the dynamic artistic team of Black Ice Productions. First released in 1992 on Velvet City Records, The Black Ice EP treads more into a deeper and jazzier vibes than their other outings at that time (such as the Union Camp release). A few listens and one can easily recognize the influence that all four tracks had on future labels and artists throughout the mid and late 1990's. This is timeless, pioneering Chicago deep house at its finest and a must have for all collectors.

What can be said about Kerri Chandler that hasn't already been said The man is one of the greats of contemporary House music, a true legend & one of the most hard working & consistent producers out there today... "Trionisphere", his (second) LP from 2003 has it all, those gritty drums, the deep Garage groove, the church feeling that influences so much of his sound & those bass-lines that he's renowned for are all here, not forgetting the outstanding vocal performances from his long-time collaborator Dee Dee Brave amongst a cast of other guests.The sounds on the LP are wide ranging, from the uplifting Latin swing of "Ye Yo Ma (Mother)" to the sparse, pacey, heads down House of "It's You" we're treated to a glimpse into Mr.Chandler's sound world across 2 x 12"s & we all know that can only be a good thing! "Trionisphere" has always been a fond favourite with House aficionados around the world & hasn't been available for a little while... Until now ! Fully re-mastered, re-pressed & re-released in conjunction with King Street Sounds, NYC & made available again for 2015 in it's original format with the permission & participation of all rights holders. Now's your chance to own a piece of NY/NJ House history! Essential...

Airglow Fires' is the first new Lone material to emerge since his masterful 'Galaxy Garden' album, his most complete body of work to date.
Departing from the themes of the rave/hardcore revival and cinematic interstellar travel, 'Airglow Fires' sees him exploring a more considered and intimate sound alongside a rediscovered love of classic hip-hop, as he explains "I love hip hop and house music when it's at it's rawest - to me 'Airglow Fires' has that kind of 90's basement vibe to it, where the lines between the two genres are kind blurred".
As a comeback single, 'Airglow Fires' has certainly been worth the wait - arriving just in time to surely nestle its way into all discerning DJ's record boxes this summer - from the opening celestial melodies to the insistent processions of jazz inflected chords dance around the crunchy proto house drums that shuddering sub bass it's obvious that this track has golden sunshine in its DNA.
On the flip 'Begin To Begin' explores similar territory to 'Airglow Fires' but wears its charms in a more subdued, but no less infectious manner - a repeating hypnotic chord stab, draped with burbling synth melodies and yet more tough drums combine for a sumptuous and mesmeric listen - as the song says "am I dreaming am I awake" - with music like this to soundtrack your dreams, who would want to wake up

The 4th and final part of Hudd Traxx 10th Anniversary series comes from Ekkohaus, Mihai Popoviciu, Rio Padice & JT Donaldson. Previous parts featured tracks from the likes of Chez Damier, Agnes, Iron Curtis & Luna City Express. Part 4 keeps the high standards that Hudd have set and Ekkohaus steps up to open proceedings. 'Modest Fun' is a peak time house cut with a big sub bass, shuffling hats and lush keys to boot. Mihai Popoviciu's 'Two Minutes Ago' plays a hypnotic Xylophone hook mixed with the dreamy vocal chant of 'Don't stop, let's go' to round off the 'Now' side in a classy fashion. Rio Padice & JT Donaldson close out the EP on the 'Then' side being 2 of the label's biggest sellers to date. Hudd Traxx have been swamped with requests for a repress of Rio Padice's 'Dirty Belvedere' so it was a no brainer for this to make the cut. JT Donaldson's 'Just Bounce' was played by any DJ worth their salt in 2009, and it's clear to see why, as once you've listened once, it goes on repeat a good few times. A great way to close out this 4 Part 10th Anniversary series.

Every tenth release for boe recordings represents a significant achievement for the vinyl-focused record label and the numerical milestone is celebrated with a special release. The thirtieth instalment, BOE XXX is a true family affair with four recognisable boe artists and two new members added in. Leif's "That Ice Cream Tune" features shuffling and stuttering arpeggiated leads and metallic syncopated hats and snares. Spoken word hums and an ambient lead add that beautiful sheen to the production. Ben boe slots in a classy deep electro cut, "Spectral Gate" comprised of weighty analog percussion and shifting synthscapes. Nick Lawson returns to boe with yet another classy example of high-end deep house. "Wharf Aquatics" bubbles and grooves along with its effervescent dub delayed leads and it's liquid bass movements. Late night head music. A closely linked artist to the label, Life Recorder finally gets his debut on boe with a low slung grooving tech houser, "Butterflies". Aimed squarely at the dance floor this no-nonsense driving cut pumps and grooves for 7 minutes with its persistent Detroit style hook line. Reedale Rise provides "Quadrex"; a Detroit-esque electro track with DBX style hypnotism thrown in for good measure. Space age themes and Drexiycan like pads play off against shuffling percussion mechanics. Finally, after many recent contributions to boe 12"s, the steel city techno-forging don John Shima lays down a stunning piece of ambient work in the vein of B12 and those classic industrial sounds calledLiberation.

Rhythm Plate released one of the best releases on Hudd Traxx in 2007, half of RP returns under the guise of Goshawk for Hudd 055. Matt brings Astral T back with him for the A1 track and 'My Heart' certainly gives 'Inside Me' a run for it's money. Warm Chords, lush vocals and slick beats are all laid down to perfection to kick off the EP in fine style.A2 follows the deep tones set on A1 with the wonderful 'High In The Evergreens. The B Side kicks off in a more upbeat style with 'Yes In This Way' which would fit nicely in a Derrick Carter peak time set. Goshawk finishes off with a cheeky garage number that is reminiscent of Grant Nelson's early work on Nice n ' Ripe which can only be a good thing.

REPRESSED !!
Water Jump' EP is the second EP from arguably one of 2012's most exciting new DJs and producers. Featuring 4 brand new tracks 'Drone Logic', 'Water Jump', 'Receptionist' and 'A Quiet Life' all illustrating Daniels variety as a producer and knowledge of underground club music, referencing the great music of labels such as Kompakt and Ghostly as well as many sounds originating away from the dancefloor, this is yet another big step forward for Avery. 'Drone Logic' has already had regular plays from The Chemical Brothers and a certain Mr.Weatherall who received upfront copies.
It follows the success of Daniel's debut EP on Erol Alkan's label Phantasy 'Need Electric' which brought support from Damian Lazarus, Maya Jane Coles, Four Tet, Richie Hawtin, Gesaffelstien, Tiga, Brodinski, Justin Robertson, Jackmaster - as well as the aforementioned Chems and Weatherall - to name just a handful. To add to this, Daniel also releases his brilliant Fabriclive mix CD on November 19th for the London institution where he remains a resident.

Chicago's Derrick Carter has long been a name steeped in House music mythology, a true original and a fierce DJ to boot.
His project with long-time collaborator Chris Nazuka from the mid 90's entitled Sound Patrol has always had a cult following and this long lost EP from 1994 is now finally seeing the light of day again!'The music EP', released on Carter's Organico label still sounds totally streets ahead today, a sublime 4 tracker existing in the deepest recesses of the dance-floor.
Beautifully deep constructed house music filled with emotion and soul, 'The music EP' ticks a lot of boxes. In fact, it'd be surprising if this record ever leaves your bag.
So many moods are contained within it's grooves - melancholy, narcotic delusional happiness, sheer abandonment, it's all here. Essential is an understatement.
It would be extremely difficult to convey the majesty, deepness and beauty of these tracks in a press release. You merely have to listen, let it wash all over you. Open up.
A truly rare example of a near-perfect record, made available again. Don't snooze, don't front. This one deserves a place in your bag and in your heart.
Remastered and repressed with the involvement and welcome assistance of the Mr.Derrick Carter, Chicago USA. 100% legit.

Fresh off the Chicago Basement Trax Re-issue of Heart Attack (previously on Relief) Vincent Floyd drops another classic EP, this time on UNDERGROUND TRAX LTD. This amazing 12" was originally released by Subwoofer in 1996! Back in the 90's Subwoofer made tons of noise with releases from House Heroes like Kerri Chandler, Chris Gray, Ron Trent and DJ Pierre. Grab this right now! Re mastered by Curve Pusher, London and officially licensed!!

Made up of acclaimed producers and DJs Jamie Jones, Lee Foss, Luca C and Ali Love, Hot Natured have already released three huge crossover singles in 'Forward Motion', 'Benediction' and 'Reverse Skydiving'.

Recorded between London and Los Angeles and featuring guest vocals from Kenny Glasgow (Art Department), Anabel Englund, Roisin Murphy and S.Y.F (Cedric from Azari & III's 'Starving Yet Full' artist name), plus keyboards from MK on 'Detroit'.

Debut release on RON TRENT's new MUSICANDPOWER label. Two tracks of deep, spiritual Chicago house in RON's distinctive style that blends jazz and African rhythms. Hand stamped white labels. Limited pressings.

REPRESSED !!
David Georgos and Bendikt Frey reprise their roles in exponential real time music making. Causing a melting pot of dilemmas to somehow unfurl into a rather stupendous and thought provoking system of ideas and trance inducing meditative practices.
Basically these guys do big ass jams, properly.
Futureworld introduces the E.P with classical panache, Craig Armstrong's presence on a certain Bristol collective's piece spring to mind with it's twinkly key section along with atmospherically 'epic' Kosmiche stylings and nods to Detroit.. no less. This concoction of influences can be picked apart all you like but the bottom line is this is textbook VtotheD through and through
Seven Up commits a Barrage of beat workings and synthsmithery with token breakdown section to mesmerizing effect. Bumping feets twist and tap to a surreal take on cosmic electro.. . it's hard to put into words this, so just stick it on yeah
Tribalistic connotations meet mechanical technoid happenings in Within Lines. Remedying funk purveyed in its finest form provide an alleviating trip for the freaky chappies that get down with the consolatory illness. Rhythms contort and muster a decaying devastation, swaying and slaying precipitating a stomping disposition. Naughty mate!
Grey Lodge Smoke suggests an inclination towards pineal imagery, toasting odes of psy-infused headspace and vortex beaconing belonging. Slamming mid range focuses on swing and spacial awareness, all the while progressive low end and meticulously tuned percussion conducts a foray into the uber-dimension.
Cinematic sized Twofold Circus feels like a 2020 Deckard envisaged rumpus with subtle undertones of eastern aural imagery. It's got that GC endorsed thrill that counterpoints atypical thinking; characterised by many a luminary associated with the stable.
It's been said before and it'll be said time and time again, eyes down big face forward and tops well and truly orf.

Up next on K Klassik and 3rd outta the gate on wax is a 4 track banger from label honcho, and highly respected House & Techno legend, Chicago producer K' Alexi Shelby...
Shifting through genres at speed, and refusing to be pigeon holed or pushed towards a specific sound, this is a killer EP from the big man! As with the previous 2 K Klassik vinyls, this is a limited colored edition pressing - once they're gone, they're gone...
So make sure you've involved from the start!

This June Session Victim return to Jimpster's ' Delusions Of Grandeur' imprint with a third studio album. 'Listen To Your Heart' is the result of a year of cross-continental scripting, started in their Hamburg studio and wrapped up stateside in San Francisco's Room G Studios where the duo had worked on their 2014 LP 'See you When You Get There'.
Sampling still remains an ever present backbone throughout the album. Session Victim have dug deep for sounds, resulting in a richly detailed and organic sound collage that goes hand-in-hand with their live instrumentation, this time enhanced through several guest musician appearances, most notably Carsten "Erobique" Meyer (ex-International Pony). Smooth guitar samples are built up on 'Over and Over' while on 'Moons & Flowers' the live instrumentals that Session Victim do so well come to the fore.
The treasure trove of San Francisco's record shops proved to be a hard bait to resist and the pair spent a large part of their Californian time hunting for records to sample. Three new tracks emerged from these digging sessions, with the sweeping disco string arrangements on 'Shadows' standing out as a prime ode to days spent combing through bargain bins.
Listen To Your Heart is equally a product of the road. While heavy touring is often cited as a hindrance to the creativity of artists, Session Victim see their live shows as a catalyst to their creativity. Two US tours in 2016 gave the Hamburg duo the opportunity to take track sketches and fragments on the road to incorporate into their live shows and then digest them back in the studio. The playful funk soaked groove of 'Matching Half' captures the sense of movement present throughout Listen To Your Heart and the LP mix of 'Up To Rise', which caused heavy ripples when it dropped as part of 2016's Matching Half EP is an extension of the upbeat and euphoric groove that permeates the album.

Make Love In Public Spaces is a new but not so mysterious offshoot of a label which will be familiar to anyone who has been to a certain erotically charged discotheque with a big heart in East London over the last 4 years. They launch with a three track release from Adesse Versions that recasts underground 90s classics of some vintage in his own inimitable style. Adesse Versions is the anonymous alias of a techno producer with previous work for Ostgut Ton and Curle, showing his house side and who you will no doubt recognise from his most recent work Trus'me's Prime Numbers label as Adesse.

Hailing from the small town of Stroud, South West England, Marcel Lune has been quickly building his reputation as one of the hottest new talents in the UK Bass Music Scene.
Having discovered an 808 in his parents attic at a young age, it quickly became one his favourite toys and set him off on a musical voyage which is beginning to gather momentum.
Having already released a string of releases including a full album for Studio Rockers last year, this release with Local Talk is a new chapter in the ever growing Marcel Lune saga.
This debut for Local Talk is nothing short of brilliance.
An EP that sits somewhere between the early Floating Points days and Local Talk's very own Crackazat jamming with Harvey Sutherland. From the opening track 'Sketches' Marcel brings broken house rhythms, piano chords and dancing acid lines in a glorius way. The clever vocal arrangement on 'Eat Good' takes no prisoners and on the flip 'Crazy Love', another vocal track, Marcel slows things down a bit together with vocalist Bluesz.
The EP ends with Soul Music, upping the energy level slightly with its snappy, jazz-influenced beats and dancing synth lines.
A beautiful and fitting addition to the ever expanding Local Talk catalogue.

"In My House" is a "bucket list" song Nickodemus always dreamed of covering into an actual House version. After a weekend of old-school partying in the clubs & hanging with Baby Bam from the Jungle Brothers in Brooklyn, they called over Carol C & Lisa Shaw to lay down some vocals. Going for that straight ahead 90's hard hitting house vibe, Bam flipped his verse to show everyone how it was done back in the days. French house producer ART OF TONES aka Llorca (20:20 Vision / Local Talk) made 2 remix versions on the flip-side taking it deeper for the European dancefloors

After the US elections in November, Nickodemus decided the need to add another cover, updating Sagat's 1994 classic "FUNK THAT" for the B-Side. It features NYC house music party & radio host legends THE ILLUSTRIOUS BLACKS over a funky break & deep chords reminiscing the OG. "Question, how can someone who is sexist racist, homophopic, Islamophobic, and an ableist become president of the United States of America FUNK THAT!"
