The debute 4-Tracker by Wax Pistols owners Dub Jamz , is introducing first impressions of what you can expect from this imprint in the near future.

The fourth sampler 12" taken from GLENN's "BLACK RESURRECTION" CD. This features "SPIRITUALLY SPEAKING" on the A-side, a deep spiritual jazz house instrumental full of intricate key and drum patterns, backed with "OUT OF MIND", an upbeat house track with a female vocal. (A)

Northern England's Turquoise Blue imprint delivers the 'Parallel Minds' EP this September, coming
courtesy of French duo Yamen & EDA, backed with remixes from Terence:Terry and John Dimas.

Yamen & EDA aka Hadrien Alaoui & Francois Sauri were born and raised in the south of France, since hooking
up in 2011 and starting to produce material together the duo have found themselves playing sets at some of
Europe's most influential nightclubs, such as Watergate (Berlin), Social Club (Paris) and The Garage (Leeds).
Here we see the pair offer up an EP for the ever on-point Turquoise Blue imprint, and with material forthcoming
on One Records and the launch of their Rawmance LTD label, evidently these two are ones to watch over the
coming months and 2015.

Kicking off the release is the original mix of 'Windmill', a stripped percussive-led number fuelled by sparse,
minimalistic drums, rumbling sub-bass tones and mind-bending vocal murmurs. La Vie En Rose owner
Terence:Terry steps up to rework 'Windmill' to follow, upping the energy levels with the percussive aspects,
and bringing a more stab focused resonant bass hook to the forefront.

Second on the original content from the duo we have 'Physicall', embracing a similar low-slung aesthetic to the
preceding cut the pair blend shuffling rhythms and processed spoken word vocals with swirling ethereal pad
sounds and subtly programmed bass hits to create a smooth, hypnotic number. Berlin-based John Dimas
reshaphes 'Physicall' next with his 'Warped Mix', and as the name would suggest Dimas re-twists the original
number into a fluttering, heavily processed interpretation.

Damien Lynch is a gentleman you've met in a past life. Emerging with this debut, he steps nicely into a home at the ESP Institute. On side A, we're invited to The Heights, a transcendent state
where the negative space between the notes is equally as important as his lush instrumentation. Damien's build-up of warm analogue machines twinkle and stab, leading way to a memorable
hook, a squelching chord melody full of live nuance and energy. On side B, Safe House plays out a similar theme in terms of arrangement, however, the ethereal space Damien creates with
the kalimba and driving arpeggios elevates us to an even higher plane, where his lead floats gracefully across the stereo spectrum, blanketing the fast-paced rhythms with a calming sense
of purity. We're serious when we say that these two songs will guide you toward enlightenment.

124Recordings return for their final release for 2013,the follow up to the original 'Undeground Frequencies' EP that helped establish the label back in December.Again it features four producers covering all bases of house music.First up and needing no introduction is well respected producer James Johnston with the solid percussive drive of 'Dont Need U' underpinned by a huge reversed bassline,punchy chords and hypnotic female vocal.Next is rising talent Liam Geddes who takes things deeper with 'Besoin D'Amour' with its soothing spoken vocal ,delicate pads complete with depth charge sub and twisted horn sample.Third is the pairing of two producers/label owners,Tom Lynch from WeCtrl/Development Music and Eddie Leader of Hudd Traxx.Here 'Mrs Saturday Night' slowly builds with delicate layers of bubbling synth before a sublime breakdown takes the track into a completely different direction.Finally but by no means least is Banjax with 'Smoked' a real throwback to the warehouse days with its shuddering bass leading into bouncy chords and heavy 909 percussion.

Carl Craig needs no introduction, he has been at the forefront of the international Techno scene for over 20 years and has amassed a truly enviable back catalog of releases utilizing various pseudonyms and collaborating with many different artists during his stellar career. One of the Detroit natives most enduring and popular guises has been his Paperclip People project which has been active since 1991. "Country Boy Goes Dub" was originally released in 1996 on the seminal Paperclip People Long-player "The Secret Tapes Of Dr.Eich". It's blend of samples, metallic drum machines, 808's, guitar loops and serious dubwise tendencies made it stand out instantly. As with a lot of Craig's legendary productions it had that otherworldly swing, an incessant groove and a melding of various styles, sounds and influences informing it's spirit.

It's these elements that Berghain resident and international Techno taste maker Marcel Dettmann has distilled into something more stripped back and closer to the dub leanings of the original version with his remix. First heard on his Fabric mix CD and not available in any un-mixed format (until now) it has been causing quite a stir within the Techno community. Sounding like a long lost cousin of Basic Channel, Dettmann's remix comes off like the perfect marriage between steppers Reggae rhythms and Techno; tight rim-shot drums, dubbed out synthesizer stabs and an ultra deep rolling bass-line all punctuated by Craig's original 808 drum machine programming.

An essential release featuring both the original and remixed versions & the first release on Planet E for 2015. One for the true Techno connoisseurs available on vinyl only for now. The first 500 come on red vinyl.

In certain times special things reoccur. RayDilla returns to his warm PULP home with a balanced 4-track EP. The title track 'The Feeling' is that signature Raydilla sound that combines nice thick drums with a grooving bassline and some moody chords nicely sitting on top. The vocal sample comes in sporadically to finish it off.
On the A2, PULP casual 'DaRand Land' delivers a somewhat darker remix that emphasizes on a pitched down vocal and hauling strings. The arpeggiated bassline is reminiscent of top notch classic house music from the golden era. The B side is opened by the special groover 'Acceleration', a funky effort that really has that special touch because of the unusual chord progressions and swinging drums. On the B2 cut 'RayDilla' gets even deeper into a vary of chord sounds and chooses to close down his latest effort with some funkin bassline action. Essential works for all lovers of the previous PULP releases.

Jason Kincade aka The Mayor writes: I've been given the task of writing about three new instalments in the channel xxx series, inspired by the late, great Mangiami restaurant.
From 2006 until its lamented closing in 2012 Mangiami was the downtown clubhouse for a very New York cross-section of DJs, artists, musicians, fashion people, music obsessives and assorted layabouts.

On any given night of the week you knew that within an hour of sitting down at the bar any number of your friends would soon appear, and be entertained by the massively charming owner, Gianfranco.
Then there were the DJ nights. Every Monday (and later Wednesday) from after work until far too late on a weeknight pretty much a who's who of local heroes and international superstars would play on the rickety old Technics sat on the bar, with mayhem and general debauchery to follow.

It wouldn't be a surprise to come in one night and find DJ Harvey at a table with Tim Sweeney next to Alex from Tokyo and Bing Ji Ling with Eric Duncan manning the decks and 100 people crowded into the tiny space and spilling out into the street.

These three 12s by some of the artists that frequented Mangiami, coming in advance of a compilation of original material on Golf Channel, are a pretty accurate view of what went on there.
From low-slung fuzzed out sleaze through gritty roadhouse blues via stringy guitar solo led disco to bubbly, infectious afro disco and finally dubby, reverb-ed out sheer lying on the floor madness there is something for all moods to reflect the eclectic shenanigans that went on in that now hallowed space.
Whilst I am not at liberty to reveal the identities behind these recordings, the word 'luminaries' definitely springs to mind - cop the vinyl and all will be revealed.

They're about to roll down the shutters! Get in!

Welcome aboard Tieffrequent !

Deep house bomb and genius piece of music by Frankfurt's Le Rubrique containing 3 originals and an unexpected but trademark UGLY DRUMS version.

Must Have!!

TFQ005 starts with the title track 'The Art Of Loving' which could be named a classic deep house track but with some delicate magical elements.
Warm and intricate yet heavy construction, and a mesmerising effect on the floor. Next up, 'Stoya' is a collaboration with BfAM from Barcelona and an impressive deep houser which slows it down a bit. The heavy bass line in combination with the discoid claps and the background pads straight from the basement captures you and won't let you hide.

On the flip, 'Back To Back' is a co-production with long term friend, music colleague and sound wizard Paradice. The result is an indescribable soul catching piece of music.

Ugly Drums’ Version of the main title track fits perfectly in the context of the whole EP. It gives a perfect thematic frame, reworking the original parts in their definitive style. Flavoured with some concise Ugly Drums moments, genially arranged cuts and a murder bass line it is the perfect start for a warm set

TFQ005 is a diverse dance floor filler but also a listener for your speakers at home.
A very classy selection on a label that's a cut above

Detroit legend Terrence Parker lands on Defected with 'Open Up You Spirit', featuring four brand new mixes of one of the standout cuts on his 'Life On The Back 9' album.

Kicking off proceedings is TP's Deeep Detroit Heat Remix which demonstrates positivity through Merachka's powerful gospel vocal and an ever-grooving baseline that is mirrored by organ keys, highlighting why Terrence, and Detroit's underground house scene, is very much in the forefront of soulful house being done the right way. TP's Bangin Piano Remix does what is says on the tin as classic piano chords and four-to-the-floor house beats build the track to almost cacophonic extreme before dropping into a warm bass synth to start the ride over again. On the flipside is TP's Deeep Detroit Heat Instrumental and completing the pack is Merachka's Kreep Into Your Spirit And Open It Up Remix which strips things back with 303-esque acid lines and thumping kick-claps.

The second "LOVEiT" press comes right in time for the festival season and for dusty basements too. SUOLCITY is a young producer from Stuttgart, the spot for house business again. Probably he felt it already as intern at "rocker 33", the club such as Panorama Bar and Robert Johnson. How else could you explain the B-Side "Rush", you had to feel this dubby, gritty bassline. Not hard enough - so maybe "Rush Harder", you can have it all. But still, Stuttgart is heart and soul for some Hip Hop generations, the SUOLCITY is no exception here. The second track might be called/used as "Early Morning Jam", but you can hear this jazzy attitude of some Hip Hop jams and you will love it. "November" delivers great atmosphere with groovy chords and bumpy drums for your deep moments. All in one - great homage to the best side of the 90s! - Prinz Eugen Early Support: Borrowed Identity (Quintessentials / Ostgut Ton): Rush - Evil dance floor weapon! Lay-Far (Local Talk): I love the Early Morning Jam! Peter Clamat (Big Bait Records): Early Morning Jam is my favorite. Tim Toh (Mild Pitch / Philpot): Lovely to hear some new stuff on LOVEiT. These guys keepin' it raw and underground. This 12" consists of stompers and dreamers. At the most i´m a dreamer, therefore "early morning jam" is the one for me. Rainer Trüby (!K7 / Compost): A great release from Suolcity here. Especially diggin´the 2 slower jams "November" and the "Early Morning Jam". Tasty! Full support! Leif Müller (Coccoon / Relax2000): High quality EP! Timeless sound from Suolcity, love his productions since years. Early Morning Jam is my favorite. Diego Krause (Unison Wax / Beste Modus): Rush is definitely my favorite, nice and pumping! Jeremy Underground (My Love Is Underground): "B1 for me, looking forward to try it in clubs!

Selected House Tracks & Works By the French man Lazare Hoche.

The 1st volume of the "Recoded" series which focuses on outtakes, alternate versions, & embellishments of tracks from 2013's Codes & Metaphors LP. 4 hypnotically soulful house constructions.

The Bush is a homage to the place where I have lived for the last decade (Askew Road). The Askew Road itself is slowly changing so I wanted to document all the places that play a big part in mine and my families lives before they eventually get sold for more flats or Tescos. First up was Peckings Studio 1 record shop, which has been on this stretch of road since the 1960s. Next up is the mighty Sun pub which became a local talking point when they sold the place because a sign sat in the window that announced "THE BUP IS CLOSE".

The Deep Explorer boss makes his way to the SPM universe once more with this long awaited EP. Appearing in 2011 on the COME compilation The Unexpected became a full-on project backed by an Above Smoke remix.

Mark Jenkyns is back onboard the Hot Creations imprint, this time featuring vocalist MC Chickaboo. 12 Stories (Mark & Chris Sylvester) are on remix duty for their debut on the label, and what a killer release it is!

'On Me' oozes with funk, groovy basslines and sonic madness, perfect additions to the Hot Creations catalogue and proving each of the artists involved know exactly what works on the dance floor. Getting heavy support from Jamie Jones & Richy Ahmed & Lee Foss, it looks like another hot-hitter from Hot Creations.

Mark hooked up with MC Chickaboo in light of her legendary work she did with Ewan Pearson & DJ Wildchild. MC Chickaboo is a female drum and bass DJ and rapper from London. In 2002 she shot to fame when her collaboration with Timo Mass went to number one on the Billboard chart.

12 Stories is the fresh duo Mark Jenkyns and Christopher Sylvester and they will be making their full debut on Hot Creations early this summer..

Two of the Black Madonna's most sought after early tracks return to circulation alongside one burning new jam on Goodbye To All This, the latest release from Stripped & Chewed.

Drawn from the Chicago label's 2012 compilation Livin' For The City EP, the piano dappled joy of "Exodus" luxuriates across side A, spreading the good word with a pounding beat. "We Don't Need No Music (Thank You, Rahaan)" from SCRS004 takes another whirl around the dancefloor, its pinwheeling horns and infectious vocals pulling even wallflowers into the fray. And in case two remastered sure-shots aren't enough, the brand new "Who Do You Need" closes the record with a soulful thwack: half uplifting house, half blistering techno -- all peak-time fodder.

A fine addition to the Black Madonna's discography alongside records for Argot, The Nite Owl Diner, Hometaping Is Killing Music, and of course Stripped & Chewed.

DJ Sotofett's six tracker for Laton brings old school drum programming & sequencing back to a decent menace level. Solid & classically executed Techno, Lefty-House, Jungle and tripped out next-level Dub cuts with no fancy trickery. Featuring FIT (Detroit), Bjørn Torske (on percussion), Dresvn (on bass) and Madteo on faint in-session background ghost vocals.

The two Chicago producers have merged their distinct identities into something very special indeed. Kate is known for her tech house cuts for labels like Leftroom and Get Physical. Tevo meanwhile has gained a rep for a highly melodic, analogue and bittersweet take on the Chicago house tradition. The whole thing has an analogue flavour, and sounds alive, somehow vintage and fresh at once' -DJ Mag review of 'Bring It' single

Building upon their first EP release on Tevo Howard Recordings, Kate Simko and Tevo Howard have rejoined forces, debuting their full-length album 'PolyRhythmic' on Sasha's Last Night On Earth imprint. Native Chicagoans, Tevo and Kate grew up on house music, and their collaboration pays homage to their home city while exploring new creative territory. The duo's LP leaves few musical stones unturned, traversing through their melodic, classic, and genre-bending sound.

'My first impression meeting Kate Simko was, for me, indicative of my confidence to pursue work with her. I saw her DJ at a bar in Chicago called 'Danny's Tavern' in 2005. I remember that every time I walked in when she DJ'd, the whole bar would bump great songs without one person sitting' - Tevo Howard.

Whether performing live internationally, earning a masters degree in Composition for Screen, or being named one of Chicago's top 10 DJ's by XLR8R magazine, Kate Simko continues to explore and combine her passions for music. Getting her start as a DJ in the early 2000's on Chicago's WNUR FM, Kate went on to release her first album with Andres Bucci in 2002 on Traum Records. Since then she's released a number of EP's and albums on respected labels including Ghostly, Get Physical, HelloRepeat, and No. 19, and has established herself as a standout audio-visual live act. Combining classical instruments with electronic music, her acclaimed London Electronic Orchestra project transforms the melodies of synthesizers into lush orchestral moments, meshing these two disparate genres.

'One big driving force behind making more music (together) was getting booked to play live at Berlin's Panorama Bar in 2012. It was really exciting to perform at such a legendary venue, and the night was packed! The PolyRhythmic live set is a lot of fun because we can really play live, improvising with the drum machines and keyboards live. - Kate Simko

Kate and Tevo share an equal love for music production, which is reflected in their inventive hardware setup. The album was written on Roland drum machines, a 303 emulator, and vintage Korg and Roland synths. Tevo is a seasoned DJ in his own right, getting started as a kid in the late 80's, then later establishing the seminal Beautiful Granville Records releasing a range of soulful sounds straight from the heart Chicago. Aside from his own imprint, he's released his pioneering sounds through a host of other notable labels. From Permanent Vacation, from his well-known collaboration with Tracey Thorn 'Without You' on Rebirth, to his album 'Pandora's Box' on Rush Hour, Tevo Howard has an inarguably impressive collection of productions.

'After we made our first EP we had a lot more ideas in motion. We started the album around 2011 before Tevo moved to Berlin, and we'd meet up regularly in the studio. We took our time and worked on the album in Chicago, Berlin, London, and then added the final vocals in New York last summer. We took time to experiment and try for a cohesive collection of tracks. - Kate Simko.

'PolyRhythmic' displays Kate and Tevo's commitment to artistry in dance music. Twelve thoughtfully constructed tracks capture their versatility as musicians. 'No Regrets' is highlighted by iconic chilling vocals by Baz from Pirupa, whose keep-it-real lyrics sit on top of a track inspired by Prescription Records. 'Polyphonica' features locals near Tevo's studio on Granville in Chicago, and is the musical compliment to the album's theme PolyRhythmic. 'Tomorrow And Other Days' modern electro synths and 'Fall's classic acid sound show that Kate and Tevo remain ever focused on the future yet driven by their rich musical pasts.

Tevo's classic Roland-303 baselines shine through on many of the productions, most identifiably in 'Bring it'. Originally called 'Detroit' due to Kate's Motor City-influenced chords, the vocal version was rehashed in New York last summer with a vocalist Amunet Shah. Shah, a house music lover herself, created raw NYC-style vocals. This standout production fuses together elements from Detroit, New York and Chicago house music. A testament to their origins, 'Beat Behavior' embodies a classic Chicago beat; the distorted snares accompanied with a melodic vocal hook bridge the gap between old school and modern. Although eclectic and dynamic, Kate and Tevo's sound of 'PolyRhythmic' is tied together by their old school house influence.

Keeping their signature classic sound yet bringing a modern international influence, Kate Simko and Tevo Howard's 'PolyRhythmic' LP is a masterfully crafted production from two of the current days' most dedicated purveyors of house music. A natural alliance, 'PolyRhythmic' is an organic process by two artists who are eminently inspired by a varying array of styles. Combining their mutual passions, Kate and Tevo have created an authentic and soul-filled LP of the highest quality.

Already heard on one of Theo Parrish incredible mix cd's friendly children' combines his trademark blunt 4/4 bass-drum with a stripped down afro groove, sparse latin piano chords, a children chorus and joyful flute licks before changing the atmosphere halfway through: atmospheric string chords and imaginative, lyrical piano improvisation take the lead for a beautiful, contemplative ending. the b-side cut starts out as a slow motion 4/4 beat with dark, horn loops contrasted by sharp metallic, industrial sounds - during the break Theo Parrish introduces a female vocal loop, throws in more energetic, harder punching beats and lightens up the atmosphere with symphonic big-band jazz samples. another adventure in sound by one of the few unqiue heads in electronic music.

Nearly three years after the last split 12" from Dungeon Meat and SE62, My Love Is Underground is finally back in action with an expansive doublepack of essential cuts from a wide range of producers that reaffirm the label's status as one of the leading exponents of classically rooted deep house music. With previous releases including Brawther, The Nathaniel X Project and Kool Vibe, Jeremy Underground's label has done much to keep the heart and soul of real house music relevant in the 21st century. This new compilation follows in a long line of showcase releases from My Love Is Underground, giving a platform to new talent as well as championing old favourites of the label. Mid '90s legends Teflon Dons make a welcome return, Franck Roger represents the lasting legacy of Parisian house music and UK mainstay Tristan Da Cunha brings the goods in a break from his Dungeon Meat project. Elsewhere Hugo LX represents the new generation, fresh from a release on Courtesy Of Balance, while Malin Genie has been rapidly building up a reputation on Will & Ink and Lazare Hoche. DJ Steaw has been spotted on Traxx Underground and Rutilance, and Ebony Cuts returns after a debut on Kojak Giant Sounds last year.

Marquis Hawkes making his debut on Clone Jack For Daze. 4 proper jacking tracks opening with the frantic title track and closing with the fantastic Like Dat which is out there with the best!.

Finale Underground is back with Vol. 3 and this time the focus in on Chicago. Four tunes from Chicago luminaries that have made their marks in the scene, though all sounding different, still staying true to the Chicago ethos. Specter's deep house jam called "5th of Hen" with its lush sounds and steady melodies sets the tone. Chicago Skyway follows with a club banger titled "Digits LG" where the pulsating synth takes up the attention, giving an old school feel with contemporary string sounds. Hakim Murphy starts the B side with "Slowdown", an acid house tune that shows off some of Murphy's drum programming skills. Finally, Steven Tang finishes the session with an the tune of aggressive synth lines and a bouncy bass called "String Tension". Future Chicago is a well rounded ep that features four different takes on the current affairs of the Chicago sound.

Sublime deep house tracks by Nathaniel X Project, you need this in your bag...TIP

Complementing their eponymous party series, Luv Shack Records have brought together a group of new and regular artists for their first "Shack Your Body" compilation. With an
array of nine choice cuts, this compilation offers just the right blend of laid back chuggers, disco stompers and more aggressive house tracks that have made their label nights so popular.Kicking things off, the young viennese newcomer Giuseppe Leonardi brings together light hearted chicago house vibes and modern beatdown on "It's Drivin' Me". On "Got It", Space Echo take us back to the halcyon days of disco, striking a similar note
to their smash hit Soul Power, albeit this track being a bit more stripped down and synth infused. "Another Bite (Dub Mix)" marks the first appearance of Redscape - a collaboration
between Functionist and MOTSA. In an effort to channel the funkier side of house, the two producers combine classic rhodes, moog bass and an array of disco samples in a fashion that will inevitably tingle your toes. Burnin' Tears are bringing their sound to a new level with "Nights Of Horror". The track
builds on a solidly organic drum groove and a relentless electric bass to become a funky yet hypnotic piece of dub house, jamaican soundbits and church organs included!
LeSale takes an unusually sombre and hypnotic route with his contribution "Phantom Vibes". This one is all about the swirling hihats carrying the groove, with wailing strings and a ballsy synth bass setting the tone afterwards. The norwegian producer and Full Pupp contributor Jarle Bråthen drops an "Italo Mullet", and nomen est omen! Full on 707 drum action meets synthbass, weird leads and angelic strings. ROTCIV continues to explore an acid tingled house style with "Dream In Silence". Whilst
building around the classic main acid ingredients, the track still obtains a great melodic quality and versatility that has become a characteristic of Brazilian producer ROTCIV. The last new addition to the Luv Shack roster is the Berliner and Renate Schallplatten mastermind Sebastian Voigt. His "Smoke And Mirrors" intertwines industrial harshness with an 8bit synth theme and John Carpenter-esque pad and arpeggio themes.
The final track sees Jakobin & Domino return to their home stable with a moody stunner of a house track. "Retronome" is a laid back and dreamy ride packed with warm pads,silk y strings and an irresistible vocal theme.

Our representatives will make you wait. Soon you will feel pleasure in passing water. You will know that you are reaching climax. Tight Pants is the manager in charge and has excellent facilities for your private parts. Please note ladies are not allowed to have babies in the bar. Thank you for your coming.

There are 4 original tracks, 2 from each producer, split by side. Another tasty, collaborative release brimming with deep, low slung and mid-tempo goodness.
The title of this EP is rather fitting, seeing as Paxton Fettel has already made the trip from Denmark's capital to London when he played to his 1st UK audience back in May at the 2nd Plumage Label Night in Hackney. The young Dane has been slowly but surely growing his profile with 3 previous EPs and now an outstanding debut album on the label he co-runs: Greta Cottage Workshop. His recent EP on Apersonal also made some serious waves amongst the deep house fraternity. Norm De Plume joins Mr. Fettel on the bill at Culturebox in København mid-July and then the two will reunite once again to play Norm's 3rd & final UK Plumage party for 2015 on 1st Aug and back in East London.

French producer Juliano delivers the next EP, entitled This Must Be...', on his own imprint That Place Records'. Fourth in line on the label, following on from releases from Visitors for Reworks, MZKBX (aka Sacha Mambo) and Love Comedy, the now Berlin-based artist gifts his very first EP to the collection. As a DJ, Juliano has spent the last 13 years honing his craft - first cutting his teeth holding down a residency at L'Ambassade, and then going on to play all over France and throughout Europe. Over a decade of digging and spinning has led Juliano to develop a refined palette and a knack for finding tunes that make the dance floor bounce. Strongly influenced by US house, 'Panaugust' is a real dance floor killer with its never ending synth. The more emotional 'Anthem For A Friend' is a real tribute, drawing inspiration from Chicago and Detroit such as 'The Real Mess' with its special Rhythm & Blues vibe. Finally, 'Cupid Mess' brings a touch of Japanese mood, evoking images of an early-morning rising sun thanks to the classic Juno6 sound. Juliano's ethos is that music should stay fun - preferring to keep things simple, but always real. Watch out for this one.

Following the raw and undiluted style of his releases and remixes for Clap Your Hands, Play It Down, Klasse, Made To Play and more vinyl imprints that preserve the raw energy of housemusic, Rafael Kakudo is raising the stakes with his new-built label. Soundwise it confirms what we all know: when Kakudo steps into to the arena it's time to jack it!

A1: The Beginning
Taking its time marching in on classic string and rattling hihat- and clap-section in 909 style, 'The Beginning' soon takes it's toll. Familiar organ sounds funk you out of your comfort zone: euphoria is the recipe of dance! Old School - from those stomping beats to the vocal cuts. Feels like the beginning of our life-long flirt with house, don't it


A2: The Beginning / Shapes Remix
Uttrecht duo Shapes sticks to the guns of the original but adds even more classic organ sounds that show love for Kakudo's true house approach. House & Garage is what they claim on their facebok page. And it is exactly what they give you here. You know the feel!

B1: Panne AM
Paying homage to 909 drum and bass sounds, 'Panne AM'' adds even more rawness to Kakudo's style. But as soon as you feel under the spell of his jacking grooves, Kakudo turns on some familiarly nervous siren sound that unmistakably makes this a stand-out track to remember. No escapin' this!


B2: Padkiller
Like you love it... B2 tracks... known to be rounding up an EP with a different twist. Same over here, 'Padkiller' seems a hidden gem. Slowly gaining groove and drive at first. But when those searing synths hit, it's over... Reminiscing of Detroit sounds, Kakudo spirals the sound until you get lost in it's maelstrom!

Supported by Gerd, Sidney Charles, Flashmob Djs, Monkey Maffia, U know the Drill, De Sluwe Vos Locklead and Wouter.

After the late nite, neon-red funk of his last release 'The Digital Fantasy' (which picked up support from the likes of Benji B, Alexander Nut & Ross Allen), Quaid returns with a new ep: 'CFE'.AIn contrast to the strung out, hazy eroticism of 'The Digital Fantasy', here the heart rate has elevated and the signals pushed further into the red. 'Nightlyfe' best illustrates this with its rough hats, minor chords and irrepressible rhythm. 'Body Forms' is a nod back to the hydraulic, locked funk of Quaid's previous releases, whilst 'Tango' offers Huerco S style synths under subverted Prince Housequake-era drums.A'99%' weaves around a driving bass algorithm and the insistent vocal refrain supplied by longtime collaborator Dziko.AThere's a change in mood here, the night has passed and sunrise is moments away. Lights on tomorrow's horizon glint endless glass, dust and chrome...

After a sell out release on In Haus Wax and a remix for Tato & Tania Vulcano on Isgud Records tIJN goes it alone with this, his first outing on his own imprint already supported by Apollonia this summer the Ep mean's business with zero fuss. Including a top remix from Djebali and a very tasty dub.
