Soul of Hex is the collaborative project of 4004 and Sebastien Vorhaus, two producers currently based in Tijuana, Mexico. Together the pair issue its 'Lip Reading EP' on Mexico City-based CVMR imprint, offering a single original track alongside remixes from Vin Sol,Ny*Ak, and a rework from Chicago house veteran Larry Heard (a.k.a. Mr. Fingers), which finds the time-tested talent digging a bit
deeper into Soul of Hex's "Lip Reading," placing a low-rolling groove beneath the track's hi-fi percussion clicks and jazzy keyboards.

Kito Jempere makes his Let's Play House debut this June with a captivating four-track EP 'Amended Wonders' featuring a remix from Palms Trax.

The St Petersburg based producer has been going from strength to strength since releasing his debut album 'OBJECTS' in 2014, which recently picked up a heavy hitting pack of remixes from HNNY, Juju and Jordash and Let's Play House co-founder Jacques Renault. For his first foray on the New York imprint Kirill Sergeev dishes up three robust originals alongside an organic re-imagining from Lobster Theremin affiliate Palms Trax.

EP opener 'Kusya' is a powerful assortment of whooshing synths and dubby breaks that delves into the tougher side of house while the flipside features a blinding remix of 'Kiya Kiya' where Palms Trax constructs an organic summertime groove over bright xylophonic stabs and crisp shifting percussion. The B-side get's underway with the expansive basslines and honeyed pads of title track 'Amended Wonders', on the flip the successful alchemy of hefty kicks and stripped back hooks illustrates the Russian producers beautifully subtle yet dynamic approach to production that gives his originals that raw traditional feel.

For a digital bonus - Kito Jempere's original of 'Kiya Kiya' grows out of a choirlike cluster of voices washing over dominant drum patterns and bright synths.

Moda Black's Little Black Book series was inspired by the desire for a new, more diverse, more personal platform for artists to express themselves. An album, remix album, compilation, mix series, autobiography and photo-book all rolled into one - a chance for artists to reveal a wealth of new material, whilst also dipping into their back-catalogue and allowing it to be re-imagined by new artists. The Little Black Book gets inside the artists' minds and looks to the future and what's to come.

For the second edition of Little Black Book, the reigns have been handed to the prolific and much loved Groove Armada. From early inspiration courtesy of 90's rave collective DiY to the worldwide success of six albums, long summer s in Ibiza and global live tours - with such a storied history, it's hard to image where they'd even begin with a project like this. The boys brought the curtain down on their live tours at Brixton in 2010 because they wanted to go back to basics, House music and the warehouses where GA started - cue a series of releases on labels from Hypercolour to Hot Creations.

The mix on CD1 Groove Armada seven new original pieces of music as part of a 77 minute journey that also includes Tony Allen, Candi Staton, re-edits of a host of GA classics and their rework of Arthur Baker anthem, Rockers Revenge.

The second disc then sees 12 excellent producers redefine classic Groove Armada records, resulting in some spectacular new versions of tracks like 'Love Sweet Sound', 'Superstylin', 'Chicago' and 'I See You Baby' from the likes of Kolsch, andhim, Huxley, Jaymo& Andy George, JorisVoorn, PillowTalk, Emperor Machine, Marco Faraone, Chaim, Hauswerks, Walker & Royce and wAFF.

Included in the special notebook version of the release is Andy Cato's account of the GA journey from Castlemorton to L.A too - one that has taken them right back to the start. "People were saying if you're going to write new material you need to put it out on a major, get the band back together, unleash the machine. But we don't want to do that. We want to play and make house music, and that's all'.

Boutique French house label Vibes And Pepper has readied its next EP. This one is a Various Artist outing that pairs the new school talents of Tomska and New Jack City with the old school and enduring qualities of James Duncan and Jeremiah. Tomska has appeared on the label before back in 2012 with his Mental Raw EP, whilst New Jack City are Guido Verbaal & Rogier Verbaal, a fast rising duo with plenty to say for themselves and a recent release on Tomorrow is Now, Kid! As for James Duncan, he is a trumpet player, producer and improviser who has worked with Metro Area and Morgan Geist as well as for DFA Records over the course of the last 15 years. The final introduction brings us to Jeremiah; an Austrian who has been making house music since way back in the early nineties on labels including Balance Alliance, Grow! And Dee-Jay Recordings. James Duncan goes first with 'Track #2', a soulful affair with lazily jazzy chords and muffled vocals bottled up into a teasing house groove. The drums feel alive and the repeated melodic phrasing brings some nice tension to proceedings. Tomska's 'Stolen Moments' is a typically thick cut track with solid kick drums underpinning spoken word musings and colourful little melodies. It's physical and will make you dance without losing the important human connection. Jeremiah's 'Keep On' is much the same: this one has a classic feel to it, with warm pads softening the effect of busy, live sounding percussion. Some firing vocals help set the groove alight and re-call the classic days of 90s house with relying on the same tried tropes. Finally, 'Slow It Down' does not slow it down, but instead invites you to move your body with huge rubbery kick drums and shuffling claps. Dulcet vocal tones and garage-inflected percussion make this a hugely vibey affair to finish off another timeless house EP.

030303 strikes again with this quirky, ultra-fresh and hard to pinpoint 4-track twelve. Hills I Want You is a very rich harmonious collage of staccato rhythms, abstract vocal snippets, classic strings and piano house; twisted dance floor material. Zeroz-On, bangs it out in a static, stomping way where heavy, in your face synth sounds take turns in melody making with mid range Roland bass lines. The Broke, the first track on the flip is again manically melodic, this time in conjunction with brutally distorted beats. The EP closes with the chilled out In Sight Out which features a mix of jazzy and mind bending melodies, this time with a slightly more subdued rhythm section. We highly recommend this twelve for fans of full on melodic acid with a distant reference to the classic rave era.

Israeli born DJ & producer known for sample driven soulful house music debuts on Mahogani. Comes with a beautiful take on GSH's 'Home is where the hatred is' . Check!!

Russia's Art Crime seemingly came out of nowhere with his first record and it blew us all away at Phonica. Lead track 'Release' was pure nineties house nostalgia, a huge reverbed piano over skipping drums that became an instant shop classic. We just couldn't get it out of our heads!

Needless to say we reached out to Art Crime instantly, hoping to lure another 12' of material from him and with the 'Obsession EP' we are blown away with the results. Art Crime has delivered another anthemic record, four tracks of melancholic house music, sounding both of the past and future.

The title track 'Obsession' is another massive piano laden House beauty, permeated with shim- mering synth stabs. Up next is 'Show Interest', with its almost-oriental synth melody glowing over a cold arpeggiated electro pulse. On the flip, 'Eye Contact's glacial pads and piano are followed by 'Rise Fall Run', the most restrained track of the set, an etheral journey through the clouds.

As with his first 12', Art Crime is behind the front cover artwork, with the reverse based on Jack Featherstone's layout for our previous release.

This time Brian Cullen "BJAK" from Chicago, gives us an excellent and delicious "Dusk Til Dawn EP" with touches of deep and soulful grooves inside his special style, could not miss the collection of Bucketround, in this release, we have the opportunity to delight in a work of great quality for 2015, with the remix of the owner of Bucketround, "Manuel Costela" aka "Oval Future Face".

after a decent hiatus a.r.t.less finally returns for some serious techno action
Stephen Brown is an institution when it comes to cutting-edge Detroit Techno made in Europe and therefore needs no introduction! Having recorded for legendary labels like Transmat, Djax-Up-Beats, Music Man, Subject Detroit and in recent times for rather new and promising imprints like Heliocentric Music, Skudge and Indigo Aera he has always been on top of the game since almost two decades and knows how to convince with his trademark hi-tech soul. His new release called Illuminace EP marks the return of Mojuba sublabel a.r.t.less and brings two killer tunes from the vaults of the Realtime label boss, while the a-side with SD1 aims clearly at the dancefloors of our beloved underground clubs, the b-side with Free & Easy comes along with a great portion of compelling emotions and funk!

Culprit's fall/winter season opens with 'Stars' - a truly global collaboration of London's Aidan Lavelle, Mexico's Robbie Akbal and Los Angeles' own, vocalist Shawni.

o+ The song organically sprung out of Culprit's second release of 2014, Balcazar & Sordo, Dance Spirit and disCerN's 'Calling For You,' which also featured Shawni's ethereal vocals and an Aidan Lavelle remix.

o+o Over the summer Lavelle has joined forces with Robbie Akbal - a veteran of the deep house scene and the owner of the widely respected label bearing his name. Their first song together, 'Solaris Night,' has made an impression on Get Physical's 'Full Body Workout.'

o+o+ With Shawni's sultry vocals the centerpiece, the track has the shimmering melodic quality, creating the open­air, nocturnal ambiance befitting the song's title.

o+o+o The pair of remixes come from two of Culprit's favorite producers - the ever­inspiring label regular Inxec and the Culprit debut of one of the young rising stars of the moment, Andre´ Hommen, who is best known for his work on Dennis Ferrer's Objektivity imprint.

o+o+o+o Hommen delivers an epic burner of a rework, that builds and builds tension releasing it in a sweep of melody and voice. Inxec's deep and melancholy take provides another dimension to the single, rounding out the package nicely.

Visionquest's latest offering comes courtesy of the industrious Butch. Evoking ancient God's of the ancient times is the theme for Butch's latest release; and it's not hard to see why once you've had a listen to this one, which oozes with mysterious and mythical charm.
Butch is no stranger to the scene, in fact if anything he's become somewhat of a stalwart over the course of the 100 releases he has amassed on high profile labels such as Sei Es Drum, Rekids and Cocoon. Named 'Producer of the year' several times over the course of his career, he his renowned for his exceptional skills and his ability to work within a variety of electronic genres successfully.
In ancient Egyptian times Horus was the god of the sky and was characterised as a man with the head of the hawk. This one takes off initially with a barrage of otherworldly squeaks and bleeps which twist and turns until the introduction of a huge percussion section makes it clear that this is going to be an epic flight. Otherworldly vocal snips and samples lead the way until a juno-esque bass-line enters the foray and takes this one to a whole new level driving it - and the dance floor - until the very end.
On the flip we come face to face with Medusa, a gorgon from Greek mythology who's hideous features could turn men to stone. But contrary to it's title this one won't have you turning to stone, it will actually have you moving rather hypnotically along to its lush glockenspiel melodies and the ever evolving percussion which is filled with the most weird and wonderful sounds.
A great godlike double-header from Butch's and the Visionquest stable.

Clone Royal Oak Series with its 24th release! And this time it's Canadian Gingy with vocals by singer Starving Yet Full. RAPT is an amazing vocal tune that doesn't follow the ''color by numbers'' dogmas. 2nd track is the equally exiting instrumental cut named VSCUS with abrasive lead synth twisting and turning over haunting strings and shimmering hihats in the best Detroit tradition. Serge & Tyrell team up for a remix version of RAPT. They deliver a straight forward, no nonsense powerful Dub mix!

The second Jungle Wonz release on Trax, again with Harry Dennis' gorgeous vocals, was sub-licensed to both New York label Vendetta and Breakout in the UK (both subsidiaries of A&M), with some fine remixes by former Area resident Justin Strauss. "This was one of the first house songs I ever heard when I was like 14" recalls Felix Da Housecat. "Marshall Jefferson has been a huge influence on all my basslines. People usually think that basslines come from 80's pop bands but they came from Marshall Jefferson. Marshall Jefferson is probably the best house producer of all time for this period."

The mighty ManooZ makes his debute on Soulfood with his ''The Deeper Side EP''. Deep, Raw and funky house music at it's best, featuring remixes by Anthony Brooklyn and the Dutch duo U Know The Drill.

Matt Tolfrey drops the second single from his 'Word Of Mouth' EP this ... via his Leftroom imprint, opting for the infectious groove of 'Encarta' and pulling in Marco Bernardi and DJ Sprinkles on remix duties.
Matt Tolfrey's, Leftroom, imprint has gone from strength to strength over the past seven years, and his debut full length 'Word Of Mouth' earned critical acclaim amongst peers and press alike. Here Leftroom offers up another stellar addition to the catalogue, further showcasing Tolfrey's undeniably on point A&R skills by pulling in sought after artists DJ Sprinkles and Marco Bernardi to present yet another refreshing release from the label.
The original version of 'Encarta' kicks things off here, its cosseting Rhodes melodies, whispering vocal licks, gritty shuffling snares and sheer elegance draw you in, and further display Tolfrey's experience in the industry with its classic meets contemporary vibe. Clone, Planet E and Futureboogie artist Marco Bernardi steps up first to rework 'Encarta', putting a slightly more driving spin on the original number with insistent arp lines, crunchy distorted drums and raw saw wave bass tones thrown into the mix. Bernardi displays his more than capable production skills through evolving melodies and subtle nuances, resulting in an up-tempo, tasteful interpretation.

Last up to close the release is the forever on-point DJ Sprinkles, stamping his signature emotive, ethereal touches on the original. Sprinkles, as he often does, goes to full lengths with an eleven minute mix, meandering through an amalgamation of synth and drum variations with a genuine song structure, as expected it's an intelligent, forward thinking rework.

Ryan Crosson, one third of the powerhouse Visionquest, gets set to release his next solo assault - the brilliant 'Bricolage EP'. A master at delivering diverse productions, here Crosson offers three heavy dancefloor weapons each with their own distinct allure. 'Spoons' gets to work with pacey percussions, a groovy bassline and underlying eerie synths with reverbed vocal snippets giving it that extra depth. 'Close To Danger' is powerful and destined for the peak time with progressive synth lines and driving bass. On 'Club Chimes' Ryan teams up once again with Cesar Merveille to serve up intricate layers over mystical bell chimes creating a dark and mysterious vibe over a propulsive yet skipping beat.

Ryan Crosson has released tracks on groundbreaking labels such as like m-nus, Telegraph, Trapez, Wagon Repair, Soma, Spectral Sound and Supplemental Facts. Ryan also released the impressive, esoteric album 'DRM' and preceding EPs co-produced with Cesar Merveille. Not only a talented DJ and producer, Ryan has performed b2b live shows with Lee Curtiss as part of the Visionquest Thirteen tour at fabric and Movement in Detroit.

Cadenza favourite Cesar Merveille is also now a staple part of the Visionquest crew and it's safe to say we will see more collaboration's with Ryan in the future.

After the extensive "Uncanny Valley 20" compilation we go back to our classic 4- track-format for "Uncanny Valley 025". Taking the chance to introduce 3 new artists to our roster, we warmly welcome Lake People, Philipp Triebel and RJ (who is also one half of Duererstuben) to add their distinctive flavour to this record. Lake People doesn't need an introduction anymore as his smart and emotional productions are making rounds from Ibiza to your basement club around the corner. His "Unexpected End Of Archive" is another example for his knack to produce tracks that evokes an emotional maelstrom on the dance floor. Beautiful synth melodies are meandering throughout the tune while the slick drum arrangement provides just enough tension to keep your feet on the floor. Philipp Triebel caught our ear with his live set when we played together at a party in his hometown Giessen. After handing in demos for some time he now contributes "Unity" to this compilation. Clocking in at just 4 and a half minutes it gets us moving with tight chords, tricky drums and a short but prominent synth melody that will be heavy on the dance floor. The B-side features two tracks by RJ who will also be a member of RBMA 2015 in Tokyo. "Leo" is an excellent piece of slowly rising House music that pushes the right buttons at just the right time. With melancholic robots on vocals duties and dreamy synth pads this track literally tells a story. Closing the record is "Nie" which rises the pace and takes a similar path like its predecessor with moony synths and a very catchy melody. As always with the Various Artists EPs on Uncanny Valley, the artwork is by courtesy of illustrator Paul Waak, this time with a fresh new approach.

Future Times is proud to announce a one-time re-drop of the Beautiful Swimmers' remix of Mo Kolours' tune "Mini Culcha" on a one-sided white label! Originally part of the amazing EP2: Banana Wine release by Mo via One Handed Music, we brought it back to life, pressed loud and fat on wax all by itself for the Deejays!

Secret mixes and fixes from Detroit once again! ''Harlem'' by Bill Withers, Come on People'' by A.R. & Machines, ''Gardens of the Pure'' by Chris & Cosey and, ''I Like What I Like (Because I Like It)'' by Everyday People all get the threatment.

For the first reference, Sounds of The City is happy to welcome the mysterious Spirit Of The Black 808, responsible of one of the hottest wax in 2013 for Eargasmic Recordings in Chicago. Invasion Of The Black Bass is also following the Eargasmic record in terms of style. It's warm in every way and infectious. Let's get invaded with Invasion of the Black Bass and Invasion of the Black House. Both tracks share the same chords grid, one could be a re interpretation of the other. Both are very warm and melodic. Frenzy In Firenze on the other side demonstrates SB8's skills for groovy tools and more DJ oriented tunes.

Quintessential blend of Detroit house tracks.

Powel aka Paul Christie is a Berlin based DJ/Producer, and a relatively fresh name on the underground house circuit. Christie has previously released material with some exciting new labels, namely, Berlin-based label Keller, Wunderbar Recordings and Deliciuse, here he joins the FINA roster, well and truly putting him on the map, and slotting in alongside Move D, Cottam and Leif.

Title track 'Cloud City' opens the single here, an ethereal deep house number featuring an amalgamation of cosseting synth tones, understated, organic drums and intricate, blooming melodies.This is a stunning opener for the EP and a clear-cut sign that Powel has a deep-seated knowledge for sculpting heartfelt house music.

Up next is 'Falling In A Black Hole', which sees Powel take a more reserved approach and minimal sentiment, opting for sparse drums, emotive chord progressions and smooth pad lines.

On the B-Side of the release, first up we have 'I'm Talking Quietly', Powel drops the tempo down to create a chuggy, disco inflected feel. Throwing in loose, organic percussion for an authentic nu-disco feel, while piano chords, heavily delayed strings and sax licks further fuel the musicality, adding a further charm and character to the record. Then up last to close things is 'Getting Out', embracing a similar slo-mo, low-slung aesthetic to the preceding track, yet introducing a gritty electronic bass hook and analogue style synth lines this time to create a brilliantly contrasting track, and rounding off a stellar package full of understated, intelligent electronic music.

Giant Records is the new label from Grant Dell, a man that has been at the forefront of the tech-house scene for over 15 years and has amassed a truly enviable back catalogue of releases. Giant's first release is from Mark Allister, whose skill for crafting a proper old school tech-house groove on "Not Going Back" is more than matched by his talent for laying down vocals. Complementing this original, Jay Tripwire turns in a self-styled "Marimba machine redux", whilst label head Grant Dell chooses to focus on Allister's vocal for a remix that possesses keys that wouldn't sound out of place on a Kraftwerk track. Supported by Mr G, Doc Martin, Eddie Richards, John Digweed, Richie Hawtin.

This time Cabin Fever relies on the production skills of a true master. A Rekids album artist and true pioneer in the house and techno music scene, Mr G, who drops two killer tracks. Once again limited vinyl only release.

New Kids on the family! From Malta arrives two masters of deep house. OWEN JAY & MELCHIOR SULTANA. Pure groove and elegance is what overflows in all of their tracks.

With this level of production, could not miss a top remixer. And for this occasion Troubled Kids has an eminence of Deep House. KAI ALCE owner of NDATL MUZIK. Giving the final touch to this Ep with a smooth remix perfectly combined with the sensual voice of Reine Kabban. It will be a must in your suitcase.

Last Supplement - The debut album from Nathaniel X & the culmination in the "Supplement" series kicks off with Part 1 of what will be a 3 part series that will span the mind, body, and sounds of New York's very own Nathaniel X.

Australian based producer Garry Todd, takes time out from his fashion and record label Contemporary Scarecrow to release this 12' of straight up house bombs aimed directly for the dancefloor. Limited edition hand stamped 12'.

Grass Green's first foray onto vinyl has called on the services of two leaders in their fields at different ends of the experience spectrum.

Greg Wilson has been involved in music for more than 30 years, chiefly as a DJ and producer and is riding the wave of the (new) disco boom.

Andy Hart is a relative newcomer, but one who is fast carving out a reputation through his work with the Melbourne Deepcast crew.

Each was asked for a new version of a track from Monkey Boots' number one * Whitworth Strut EP. Each has delivered. And then some.


WHITWORTH STRUT (GREG WILSON VERSION):

You don't get the kind of reputation Greg Wilson has earned without knowing what makes a dancefloor tick.

The master manipulator's take on Whitworth Strut has been a staple of his sets during the European festival season, generating big interest from his huge Soundcloud following.

It's not hard to hear why. Greg has twisted and teased the original into a dancefloor detonator. Less tick, more tick, tick, boom.

With a CV that includes a residency at a certain club on a certain street that inspired the title, the outcome was never in doubt.

The baggy beats and bass of the original are in place; so too the grabs of guitar and euphoric chords.

But what makes Greg's version soar are the subtle splices, effervescent effects and trippy treasures in the mix - hidden snippets of sound you sense as much as hear.
All combine to create a smooth intensity, an arrangement that ebbs and flows, providing pause for breath before dragging you in again.
The disco don has delivered again.

'Sleduyushly'or who's next up on Sol Asylum is Anton Zap. We are very pleased to be closing out 2014 with the delightfully well-crafted Deep House that resonates within Anton.

We start with Talking a simplistic yet deep and ever-evolving atmosphere with peculiar echoes and noises that speak to us through constantly moving metallic percussion. Next Rubblewood with its trotting wooden clicks and oscillating claps we morph through the track until the euphoric themes expand bringing us to the next level.

In My Lesson, Anton channels a 90's ambience with a definite feel for funk. Arpeggiated synths with just a hint of acid mixed with harmonic pads and unconventional horn riffs bring this eccentric soundtrack together. Finally Her Lesson brings us to more experimental territory with a futuristic outer galactic journey through space and time where a metronomic kick, walking bassline and gleaming pads transport us to another dimension.

Limited Repress of this huge Levon Vincent Release!!! Essential to say the least. Get your orders in now!

Starting in 2004 with 'Made Within The Upper Stairs Of Heaven' and 2008 with 'Toinen', Lindblad has a tendency for symmetry, and now with the release of 'Third Encounter' in 2012 is no coincidence, just a scandinavian way of saying good things take their time and it's worth the wait. Analog synthesizers, sequencers and tape decks are something which are widely used in todays electronic music, but it is the mixture of the old and new - keeping the tradition of live jams instead of pre defined arrangements, choosing high standards in fidelity but keeping the rough feel to it - these elements together keep the sound of Sasse one step ahead of the competition, and why he is considered to be one of the most consistant producers in the scene. While 'Fingers Inc' and '707 Heaven' pays homage to the gold era of Detroit and Chicago house, songs like 'Analog City' and 'Fantazy' brings memories of the mid 90s Sasse material, true Deep House as it used to be done. While 'Alpha' and 'Der Groove' takes a naked live jam approach to how to abuse analog goodies, 'Low Slove' and 'Treat Me' are raw sample based tunes, perfect for a late night dj-set. The album Third Encounter showcases the 20 past years of Klas Lindblad as a musician, dj and sound engineer, one who's seen most of the modern musical styles evolve and dissolve. Always relying on the basic principles of Electronic Dance Music that less is more, Lindblad brings another fine full-lengt artist album out, surely to be considered his finest work til today.

18 months after Perseus Traxx brought Flight Recorder his first E.P, dedicated to four of the nine Muses of ancient Greece, the label now ushers in the second instalment dedicated to four more Muses, on Goddesses Of Inspiration II. The feel is the same as before with jagged cutting tones jammed live then edited down. Heavy synths and scattered drums perform an ode characterising the appropriate Muses, as tangled wires and a pair of hands wrench the overload of inspiration they give from basic machines. Once again Perseus' release on Flight Recorder is a unique set of acid-free sonic experiments, that sometimes feel as cold and edgy, as they do warm and carefree.
