BRAWTHER + DETROIT SWINDLE + HERCULES & LOVE AFFAIR = MEGA BOMB!!

Nearly two years ago we released Mys/Kela by a newish Stockholm-based producer who had put out a couple tracks on a couple labelsStudio Barnhus and Local Talkowned by friends from around town. That producer's name was HNNY and a lot has happened since then, both to him and to us. He's gone on to crank out more L.T. 12"s as well as some he's dropped on his Yummy and Puss imprints, we've gone on to unleash a couple dozen more records and see the list of talent we've hosted at our parties grow to astounding length. Somehow, through it all, we managed to stay close with HNNY, who's real name is Johan Cederberg, and even book him for a couple NYC gigs. The friendship that began so humbly and gently in 2013 has blossomed. So our timing to release the follow up to that classic collection of carefree, sun- kissed summertime grooves couldn't've been better. As we see the winter thaw into spring to expose greens below and blues above, we give you Solsidan/Alby, a sequel, of a sort, to Mys/Kela. Like the inagural EP, this one's got two originals, the first of which is heavy on smooth, looped-up vocals with no lyrics, and the second of which takes classic house tropes and romanticizes them to an almost saccharine point. Also like the first EP, there're two remixes included in this package. First one's by Avalon Emerson, a Berlin-via-San Francisco producer who's been making waves thanks in large part to a slew of impressive cuts for labels like Icee Hot and Spring Theory. The other's by Ana Helder, an Argentine from the Co´meme posse who has a penchant for injecting electro and disco and herky-jerky rhythms into her house tunes.
That first release was all about getting close and cozying up. This one's all about adventuring outside and exploring new corners and enclaves of our beautiful world. Enjoy.

Always at the top of their game, Hot Creations this time call upon Toronto's Nathan Barato for the next release on the label. The unique and fresh sounding 'Everytime I See You' is a real groover with a low slung bassline creating deep swing and flow with the vocals from Room 303 taking it to the next level. Brazilian Volkoder is first to remix, picking up the pace for the dance floor he adds a new killer bassline, stripping down the vocal but holding onto the groove. Last up Drumcode favourite Nicole Moudaber brings her techno touch to the release with her remix making this a wholly satisfying package indeed.

A Toronto favourite, Nathan Barato has been a staple of the city's underground scene for over 15 years. He began as a young pup, rolling with legends like Peter & Tyrone, playing at clubs such as Industry, Mad Bar and System Soundbar. His talent eventually progressed him into residencies at The Guvernment, Stereo Nightclub, and Footwork, as well as his own night, 'Weird Science' at the long-standing and legendary Comfort Zone. His releases can be found on the likes of Rekids, Cajual, Moda Black, Saved Records and his own Roots & Wings.

Producer since the age of 16 years old, Volkoder has produced music for major labels such as Kittball, Material, Snatch! Records, Street King among many others. His music has been championed by Jamie Jones and Lee Foss and they are happy to have him onboard the label.

Nigerian-born Lebanese star Nicole Moudaber is a force to be reckoned with who climbed the ranks with the likes of Carl Cox as a mentor. Last year she released her debut album on Adam Beyer's Drumcode which was Number 1 for a month on the Beatport techno, tech house and deep house lists. Touring all over the world last year she played for the likes of Marco Carola's Music On and played the final set at Space closing party.

Re issue of Romanthony's 'The Wanderer' on Black Male from 1993.Re mastered for 2014 and released in original artwork. Re issued in conjunction with the rights holders.

Legwork's 2nd single comes from another one of our Texas compatriates, the indelible Brett Johnson, fresh off some amazing work on Classic, Get Physical, Rawax and other killer imprints. The Mission harks back to some of our favourite dub-techno moments, but keeps it's own flare with Brett's signature robo-rhythms and chopped and screwed vocal cuts. On the remix tip, it's label head Lance DeSardi & Convextion bringing their own flavour to the table respectively, with Lance stepping to the chord memory, deep bass, and over sampled drums, and Convextion going all the way out into hyper space with his usual sub-aquatic space funk.

For those turned on by the far-sighted, sci-fi inspired sounds of Detroit deep house and techno, this EP from Michael Zucker's Finale Underground imprint (an offshoot of his Finale Sessions label) should be an essential purchase. With the likes of Patrice Scott, Keith Worthy and Luke Hess involved, you'd expect the quality threshold to be high. It is, of course, resulting in a quartet of killer tracks. Worthy's hypnotic techno jam "Tolox" is a definite highlight, though it pales in comparison to the analogue futurism of Luke Hess's brilliant "Cyclops". Best of all, though, is Scott's "Journey Into The Unknown", which bobs, weaves, bubbles and spits to the rush-inducing deep house sound of undulating synthesizer melodies and classic, Transmat-style Motor City rhythms.

A booming clavinet led banger from everyone's favourite disco uncles, Eric Duncan and Dean Meredith.Heavy on the lasers and scything hi hats with a bassline as deep as you’d expect from these fellers.Marcellus' trademark sound is all over his remix - sultry rhodes and sweet, driving funk, and The Central Executives version strips it to the bone, revealing not a skeleton but a robot.
A robot playing a fucking saxophone! Rock on, dudes.

Tribal Roots is the eighth and latest EP release from Batti Batti Records. It's a four-track affair once again this time featuring label stalwarts Owen Jay and Melchior Sultana alongside percussionist Antoine with an infectious perc-driven number, whilst Rai Scott (Inner Shift/Minuendo) debuts with the deliciously dreamy and enchanting Depth Of The Ocean. Both 1Dan and Marco Nega, meanwhile, make welcome returns to the label, the former with the twisted yet insanely groovy Recovery Process and the latter with the sumptuously soulful Inside Out featuring Leen Vivid!

Washerman is a story at it's best. The humble Gianni Siravo has been around since many years under different names. He released his first records in 1998 as SEQUEL on labels like Straight Ahead and Sonar Kollektiv. In 2008 he introduced us to his AZUNI project and released the album "City Look" on Agns' label STHLM Audio as well as 12"es on Morris Audio, Quinessentials and Drumpoet. In 2012 he decided to release his music as Washerman. His first single Kutz From The Basement EP for DPC became one of the most played records that summer/autumn and gained him a big reputation, followed up by countless remixes and releases on labels like Nite Grooves, Saft and Deso. He also started his own label DEEP DOWN SLAM, where he is championing music which is inspired by the early house groove of New York and Chicago. He has been busy travelling the world as a DJ and producing music, such as this honest raw album of quality house music. His first album entitled "Raw Poet" features nothing less than a 909, a Juno 60 and some other bits to create this unique groove we can not resist. It's simply underground dance music in its purest way and straight to the point.

Finest Hour reaches chapter four with three cuts of futuristic house by Robin Ordell. On the flipside label co-owner Onirik delivers his gritty deep techno reinterpretation.

VINYL IS ON SALE NOW! Remix project from Estebane Adame/DJ JUS-ED A MUST HAVE.

Dink & TK: Young guns looking to make a name for themselves in Detroit and beyond. For their debut they present 4 finely tuned club gems. From refined curves to warehouse edges, the sonic outline of Detroit looms large in the newest offering from Beretta Grey. This is techno that evokes passion, on and off the dance floor.

Doorly & Hauswerks join forces for the first time to deliver two solid dancefloor bombs in their 'Wrong Turn EP' for Hot Creations.

A-side 'The Illusionist' swings with a sultry groove as a sonic breakdown and deep synths culminate in prominent, melodic synth stabs. On the flip, 'Swamp Donkey' oozes an essence of Balearic Ibiza with samba shakes and subtle cheers, with a whomping hypnotic breakdown. Both tracks are of the highest quality and pave the path for more welcomed collaborations to follow.

2015 sees Martin Doorly release on the highly acclaimed Cajual, Dirtybird, Moon Harbour, Toolroom and of course, Hot Creations. Always at the top of the charts a recent collaboration with Shadow Child went in at No. 1 on Beatport. This year he is also working on projects with Cajmere / Green Velvet, Switch, Idris Elba, DJ Pierre & Todd Terry and Gene Farris. He has an army of supporters including Pete Tong, Annie Mac, Maceo Plex, Dusky, Loco Dice, East Everything and Seth Troxler to name a few. As if he isn't busy enough, Doorly also hosts two radio shows on Rinse FM and Evolution in the US plus runs a series of parties in Ibiza and worldwide called 'Doorly & Friends'.

Hauswerks has notched-up over a decade of studio experience, engineering for globally recognised collaborations on Moda Black. 'Hauswerks - Listen to Me EP' gained support from a wide rage of artists including new school acts like Disclosure to legends of the scene like Todd Terry, Pete Tong, Steve Lawler and everyone in-between. 2015 is a big year for Hauswerks, with releases on labels like ViVa Music Ltd and Moda Black, plus working with artists like Groove Armada, Secondcity and Doorly.

12' compilation featuring four slamming early 90s underground garage house classics from legendary producer MK. This is MK at his absolute best showcasing his trademark cut up vocals, swingin' beats, killer synth hooks & deep deep bass. Included first are the highly in-demand remixes of Jodeci & Happy Head. Only ever released as limited promos, these absolute bombs instantly became underground anthems and have been rocking dancefloors ever since. On the flip we get the awesome dub mix of Ethyl Meatplow's 'Queenie'. A notoriously controversial track, it features an incredibly phat bassline and some utterly unforgettable XXX rated vocals. Finally, it's MK's wonderful rework of Bette Midler's 'To Deserve You', another killer mix that became massive on the underground scene and pirate radio stations and is sure to bring memories flooding back for those who were around. Nostalgia at its unmitigated best.

The freshly inaugurated vinyl series 'Plastic Garment' represents the label's fusion
between Hip Hop, Disco and House. Organic and yet electronic, raw but still highprofile,
expressive and vital - the blurred boundaries are replaced by three principles:
forward thinking, feet-moving and free-spirited. Therefore to us, vinyl is an important
medium to provide listeners with a unique way of experiencing music.

UKYPG001 'Stretch The Truth' by Peter Clamat with Daniël Lesemann and Rhode
& Brown as remixers onboard is the kick-off release of the Plastic Garment series. It's
a leftfield house package with a blend of futuristic boldness and analog retro vibes.
The EP comes on a limited edition of 300 12' copies this winter on 14th December.

With early support from:

Glenn Astro: "Thanks for this, dope shit!"

Aaron Dae (Razor N Tape, Deep Disco): "love it. will def play. RNT support man."

WOLF reach number five in their vinyl only series welcoming two new artists to the pack as well as new some familiar names to any fans of the label.

The EP opens with Ishmael, an artist who is becoming increasingly present on the label. Gracey X is a departure from the artists signature sound and he delivers a more peak time track while retaining a soulful element.

Up next Homeboy takes on Back To The Masses and delivers a fine dub. The flip opens with a live take analog jam from the illusive Black Fan while Dutch duo, Muzikschaft step things up to round off the EP.

The followup to the hugely successful "CATCHIN' THAT GROOVE". 90s STRICTLY RHYTHM-styled grooves referencing MK, RON TRENT & LARRY HEARD with a twist of acid. 4 tracks from UNKNOWN DEETROIT pushes the sound nicely between house and techno with a certain deepness throughout. Hand stamped whites. HOUSE TECHNO

We are very proud to present the first release of our vinyl series. This year has been incredibly special for us, and we are filled with satisfaction to release our music in a format we always looked up to. Scrambled Rhythms' features two original classic house tracks from the outstanding Hector Moralez alongside two brutal remixes. The real house gangster DJ Sneak is guilty of an acid interpretation of Ten 30 One 33', while the prolific artist Tuccillo completes the B side of the release with a different approach to Scrambled Rhythms'. Roush continues with the hard work while we expect you love our first vinyl press as much as we do.

After nearly a year since their last artist offering, MDC have returned with a four track EP from the Berlin wonder kid, Max Graef.

The Love Tapes show the full spectrum of Max's capabilities from A Tale of Love's head nodding, to the stomping relentlessness of As If. A well-rounded EP that will find itself being played a few times through out the night.

During a brief trip to Australia this previous summer, Max passed on some cassettes filled with tracks he had written in frustration over a girl he left behind in Berlin. The raw emotion on the tapes was so immense that we had to make the transfer to vinyl for the world to hear.

What ensues are four tracks written for the hopeless romantic in all of us; an organic way to release the emotions felt when caught up on another person. Maybe you've just discovered happiness, or perhaps you've just fallen out of love, whatever it may be, The Love Tapes will resonate directly with your soul.

If you hold a mirror up to a vampire for long enough, they will soon run away. 300 copies for the universe. Love is the answer. Nail x.

FINA Records returns with its sixteenth release this June, this time coming from German duo Tarron Trekka who offer up a four-track self-titled EP.
Daniel Muller-Sachs and Andreas Kriester aka Tarron Trekka have been releasing material via the likes of Freude Am Tamzen, Brut! and Milnor Modern since the late 2000's, although have been actively DJ'ing since the late 90's. Since unveiling the Tarron Trekka alias in 2006 the pair have picked up support from some well respected heads in the underground circuit such as Rodhad, Don't Be Afraid founder Semtek and Adultnapper, so it's no surprise to see the pair snapped up for a single here on the illustrious FINA imprint.

The mighty Vakum with this third instalment, featuring the undeniable talents of none other than The Shake Up Connection, Scott Ferguson, Homeboy and Lerosa!! The first two Vakum 12"s sold out rapidly, and this one will surely too - so don't miss out!

Deep, layered, soulful and musical tracks from Laurent Garnier. 2 quality offerings that fit MCDE to a tee..TIP!

the label say" We are very pleased with our latest addition to MCDE Recordings, none other than french legend Laurent Garnier.

In 2014, he begins a new chapter in his career with a brand new series of releases: The Garnier Project.

The cardinal rules behind theses releases being Laurent's constant to reinvent himself, to takes risks, to feed on the extraordinary energy on the current underground scene and his endless quest for new sounds and styles.

It might come as a surprise to some to see him on our label, but his approach to Djing as well as producing pretty much sums up what we believe in: Anything goes. Laurent is just as likely to play a Disco track or even a forgotten Reggae jam at peak time as he is to drop the latest techno jam or a classic chicago house track. His sets and productions have always been surprising and captivating, never stopping to add a fresh and exciting edge to contemporary electronic music. We share a mutual love for jazz music, and his live performances with various jazz musicians are yet another proof that he is always keen to
experiment with new sounds and keep things fresh.

Its very much in this spirit what his latest 12" on our label has in store. "Psyche-Delia", a homage to his wife Delia, was inspired by his deep love for ethiopian jazz. And indeed, it sounds like a modern take on something like Mulatu Astatke. With a baseline that reminisces afrobeat, flutes and live rhodes it feels almost like a live jam session and defiantly way beyond what we would usually associate with the term "house music". The flipside, by no means a regular b-side and hence entitled "side one", sees Garnier go into even deeper territory with the low-key, bass-heavy and trippy track "Whistle for Frankie". In a way, it feels like a modern take on classic Garnier values - a very detailed production, hypnotic sounds that just draw you in from the start and most of all a unique sound that just no other person could have pulled off. "
