Secromance , nonetheless, utilizes tuned and pitched automated vocals in a bit more of exploration within the Chicago Electro House genre. Our special feature for this album is a popular gem for the Chicago Steppin' community titled, "Been Steppin' to your Love..." So please get down to this one..

Common Dreams is a new techno project. Serving as both the artist name and the label, it's vision is to bring you a steady flow of futuristic, harmonic and rhythmic techno tracks. 'Data Waves' is a deep and mental journey that is intended to send the listener or dancefloor into a hypnotic state of mind, while 'Twisted Future' is a funky, soulful techno track, also with a dancefloor edge.

STATUE is a new percussion-based dance project erected by two unique drummers, Tom Gould and Nicolaas Oogjes. Having become known for laying rhythmic foundations of seminal Melbourne dance bands Worlds End Press and NO ZU, the pair have now joined forces to unveil STATUE, a strange new landmark in the dance music landscape.

Combining raw material from synthesizers, and a combination of drum machine and live percussion, STATUE is a monument to the human element of dance music culture. Drawing upon
inspiration from the organic rhythm of acts like Floating Points, Pachanga Boys and Ricardo Villalobos they have forged a deep, minimal and unique signature sound that has taken shape in this debut release. Commissioned by Cutters Records,'Built' casts a peculiar shadow on the dance floor. Prepare to be moved by STATUE!

Steve Huerta returns to Amadeus with his follow up EP, Apotheke. The transcontinental artist, having recently relocated to Berlin, sees the core of his sound developing, which is especially prominent in a-side belter and title track "Apotheke." The tune, dusted with a slow slung bassline, driving percussion and airy synth melodies, is undoubtedly built for the floor. Backing this you'll find Huerta's joint efforts with ultimate bud Urulu, who's collaboration was last seen on the label in the form of a remix for Huerta's "Take Me Closer" single. The track, entitled "Swing Set," pushes its 4/4 signature through pulsating kick drums, filtered pad work and an unconventionally swung groove.

On the flip you'll find Steve's third contribution to the release, "Kingsley's Groove." given its name as an ode to a feline friend. Backing this you'll find Tartelet Records' own Glenn Astro flipping the track into it's pumping glory.

Over the last sixteen years Moods & Grooves has amassed a staggeringly impressive label family that includes names like Theo Parrish, Mr G, Kyle Hall, Rick Wade, Andres & Kenny Dixon Jr. aka Moodymann. This May the legendary Detroit label returns with a seminal thirteen-track album from veteran DJ & producer Joe Le Bon entitled 'House Music Love Music'.

With this new LP Jarno Eerola aka Joe Le Bon demonstrates his inimitable production prowess, garnered from a musical career spanning more than twenty years and encompassing releases on labels such as International Deejay Gigolo Records, Pro-Tez, Plastik.FM and Blumenbeat. Alongside his own output the Berlin-based artist has written tracks and remixes for numerous producers, most notably composing DJ Hells chart- smashing remix of Tim Deluxe 'Transformations' which saw six continuous weeks at number one on Beatport.

Jarno's polished production ability and aptitude for exploring diverse sounds and rhythms whilst maintaining a resolute warmth and depth to every cut is the most prevalent footnote across the course of the album. For 'Ghosts On Cassette' the Berlin-based producer works whirring space-like atmospherics over hypnotic beats and shuffling snares to dish up a smooth and captivating opener. 'For Yasuni' and 'The Road Is Under Repair' get worked over subtle synth patterns and crisp percussion to offer up some of the more emotive provisions on the album. This in contrast to the deep driving beats of 'House Music Love Music' and the more club-ready tracks like '82 Degrees' or 'Like Cotton Deep Orchestra' truly exemplifies the wide-ranging nature of the album.

All in all Joe Le Bon has structured a sublime body of work that can be enjoyed in the comfort of your own home or the middle of a dance floor, each and every track oozes depth and sits as a true testament to his abilities in the studio.

Oliver Dollar is known for his loyal service to the underground for the last decade, and more recently, for his cross-over chart hit 'Pushin' on'. Today he announces news of the first single which will see the launch of his brand new label - Industry Standard.

'Shout Away' is a collaboration with Chuck Daniels, a dark-disco club ready cut that was made recently in Detroit.

Of the new label Oliver comments 'I always wanted to do a label, but I think now is the right time to do it...The vision is to have crazy quality control, I don't want to put out a release every month.'

'Shout Away' sees a release just in time for summer with info of new music from the label coming soon.

Fly By Night Music welcomes Giorgio Luceri back to it ranks for a cool dose of insightful analog house trax, this time deploying Bu-Mako Recordings' boss Jenifa Mayanja to share her dreamy vision of Luceri's 'Love Is A Storm'.

'Moonlife Theatre' starts out feeling like it's headed into new age territory before it picks up its moody soul and heads deep. Rolling tribal percussion teamed with an intense low end drive the rhythm section relentlessly, whilst an array of enlightened pads and keys fulfil the path deep into psychedelia...

On 'AMSR' Giorgio hopes to gets the hairs standing on the back of your neck as a big resonant bassline jacks your body beneath the classic machine snare crack and shifting four to the floor grooves. Luceri signs things off again with some proto digital synthesis and paints his mark on your soul.

With 'Love Is A Storm' Luceri cools down the pace a touch, dusting off his Korg M1, he's preparing you for a reflective trip through his shared conciousness. He provides us with a rich journey deep in lush pads, piano keys and fitted out with authentic storm FX to truly fix the vibe. A real dancefloor hypnotiser!

Jenifa Mayanja's fantastic Piano mix takes 'Love Is A Storm' into full on dream house territory, channelling the sounds of Don Carlos and Italo-House. Bringing forth the keys to the melodic standpoint she crafts a lighter gem perfect for the present sunnier climes!

As this year's opening parties kick-off across the White Isle, this is your indispensable guide to the summer's anthems. Covering the full spectrum of House, Tech House and Techno that Toolroom is internationally famed for, on this album you'll discover tracks for every Ibiza moment - from blissful, chilled-out days by the pool, through to unforgettable club nights and unrelenting after-parties.

Over 50 new and exclusive tracks feature across all 3 captivating discs.

An eclectic demonstration of vocal and song-writing prowess, Wallflower is a collaborative project between Alison Marks and Leah Floyeurs. Having made their name as separate performers, Wallflower sees these two English artists come together to deliver the 'Say You Won't Ever EP' on Defected Records, featuring Deetron remixes.

With a crisp grand piano and sultry vocals reminiscent of Lana del Rey, the original track is full of unexpected melodic changes and lyrics, which entail a dark, misguided love. The Deetron Remix is based around an elevating synth arpeggio, which creates an ethereal backdrop for the hair-raising vocals, while Deetron's T-Line Version delivers a confident four-to-the-floor house rendition full of swinging, chopped vocal snippets perfect for any dance floor.

Kojiki Groove' is Magnesii's second release on Chronocircle. Compared to his previous 'CIRCLE002', this is more of a club orientated 12" rather than it's hypnotic psych-techno predecessor.
Magnesii makes hypnotic music, preferably in a space out of time and reality. Embracing the absence of computers and screens, the absence of any digital window into the world.

Some Magnesii tracks form a conceptual whole, CIRCLE002 is an example of this: it's a piece of music made to epitomize a psycho-dramatic hallucinate trip from the past. Sounds to emulate saturated and hypnotic imagery.

first pressing in coloured vinyl

Mysterious Booty already in heavy rotation

W&P Hgg is back to Deep Explorer since his last release on the label in 2010. This new EP contains "Edit gospel #5", a hard to find old classic tune by W&P Hgg and two new versions of the song by the Deep Explorer heads, one killer club cut by Dubbyman and another downbeat take for chilled moments. Is crurch time...

A double header from the Play Records stable from the mighty Deadmau5 "Full Circle & Vexillology" feature here as a 2 x CD.

Herman Prime's debut 12', 'Maajo' is a beautiful ode to spring and new birth. "Maajo" pays homage to Nigerian music, with its borrowed vocals from juju style's King 'Sunny' Ade. The track has a house foundation, which shows in its fat kick drums and sub bass groove, while the hypnotic Rhodes melody harkens to early minimal electronic pioneers such as Manuel Göttsching.

The B-side, 'Maajo (Take Four)', is a track of its own, a mutant revision of the emotional original. This version is not just a slightly altered copy but an electronic dub that takes the original to a completely different direction. Talking drums and a polyrhythm structure maintain the dreamy, Nigerian feel, but the dystopic, detuned synths have the scent of an underground techno bunker.

Jon Thureson, alias Herman Prime, has been open-mindedly DJing and producing music for 15 years. He has a broad understanding of musical language which helps him to infuse his various influences. With his strong background in house and disco, Jon often reaches beyond the limits of both genres towards new frontiers. His love affair with West African styles and electronic Krautrock shows on 'Maajo'.

Seagull Records is a spin-off from disco rework factory Kojak Giant Sounds and 'Maajo' is a slightly moodier and housier departure from the labels usual repertoire.

"Memory" is the new solo EP from WYS! co owner and resident Jacob Husley.

'The first track for the EP was the first track I wrote after becoming a dad this year, I sent it to Chris aka Glimpse to see if he would remix it and he responded 'Yes Big Daddy' hence the title"

The originals warm atmosphere is broken up by a darker bass stab, a dreamy vocal floats on top of the underlying bouncy sub bass. The track builds and breaks finally dropping into a harder groove with busy 909 claps sprayed on top.

Glimpses remix strips the track down and adds his own trademark warm dusty kick drums and percussion. The vocal gets pitched down, resulting in "one of those" special tracks that can be dropped anytime guaranteed and tested to groove and get the dance floor moving.

'The Second track is called Madeira . Its where i got married"

The Madeira Original is created using a lot of quirky live elements such as drumsticks being played on the studio table and Jacob finger tapping on a old cello. Its steady deep dubby bass line gets the track rolling to a climax where two synth lines slowly intertwine before finally unifying. The drop breaks into the resolution, exposing the clearing mood of the rest of the track.

Axel Boman's remix is unique and true to form. His humour and playfulness maximises the originals love and warmth .A very personal intro directed to Mr Husley himself is reminiscent of a prankster drunken message you might vaguely remember getting on your answer machine after a night out. The track offers a fresh bassline with a more energetic housey feel. Elements of the original synth lines floating on top.

The past two years without a jozif release have felt like an eternity at Culprit headquarters. Imagine the collective relief and delight, when one of the label's core artists had a veritable musical outpouring, delivering five delicious originals. Too rich with originality and some of jozif's best ideas to be contained within one collection, 'Waikiki' will be released in two parts, accompanied by exciting reworks coming from some of the label's favorite artists.

Part 1 shows jozif's unwavering dedication to genre-defying, timeless dance music. Analogue disco meets old school r'n'b and funk, framed by a modern deep house feel, all delivered with jozif's typical poise and a sense of musical adventure. Never the one to hem himself by expectation of others, jozif continues unabated on his unique path. 'Waikiki' accomplishes real depth with lightness of touch, yet again rewarding Culprit's faith in the artist with some of the best music in the label's cannon.

Remixes on 'Waikiki' Part 1 arrive courtesy of Matt Tolfrey and No Regular Play. Tolfrey is another Culprit mainstay, with the working relationship spanning almost the entirety of label's existence. His take on 'Good Man' is warm yet trippy, its deadly groove led by a terrific bassline. Brooklyn's No Regular Play are long time friends of Culprit, with Greg Paulus (one half of the duo) having featured on a pair of remixes by Thugfucker and Signal Flow recently. This is the Wolf + Lamb family members' first proper work for Culprit and it's assured electronic funk is a very welcome addition to the release.

Yoruba Records is happy to release this dance floor ready EP by label head Osunlade. Stretching across a range of styles there's something for everyone in this release, an absolute must for every DJ's bag. The EP opens up with the title track, What Pho. A relaxing jam driven by a powerful sounding grand piano and complimented by shakers, the added backing percussion and subtle bird chirps lend well to the creation of this track's rainforest-esque mystique. Next up is the deep, almost jazzy track - Jus' Anuda Groove. The rolling bass line and four to the floor beat will get you moving - and keep you there - as Osunlade reminds us that this is just another groove. Opening up the B-side is Schavanna, a funky, guitar-driven track whose pulsating bass line and friendly but muffled vocals will keep people moving on the floor. Finally, the EP closes with The Waiting Game, a hypnotic, tribal-learning track with a foot-stomping beat, colored with the seductive vocals of Rainy Payne, it's hard to tell which is more captivating, the groove itself or the story line she unfolds.

Celebrating 5 years of Needwant, the imprint that made the world familiar with Mario Basanov, Kim Ann Foxman, Ejeca, Maxxi Soundsystem and many more, asks their now admired artists and its extended family to create fresh reinterpretations of its stunning back catalogue.

This 4 track vinyl sampler creates new associations between artists with standout results, as artists reinterpret material from the Needwant vaults for this special limited edition 12'. The sampler features brand new mixes from Nicholas', with his take on Kim Ann Foxman's 'Hyopnotic Dance', as well as a Uluru's reversion of Maxi Soundsystem's 'Make or Break', all seemingly fording a new groove to these already formidable house records. Mark E makes his own retake on 'We Could Love' with a Sadness Of Yesterday mix and The Revenge unearths fresh depths with his take on James Fox's cut, 'Holding On'.

All 12' vinyl samplers come with a download code of the 4 remixes, as well as nearly 20 other tracks taken from the double digital album including further new remixes and some highlights from the Needwant back catalogue.

Let's Play House's latest endeavor is a no-nonsense imprint, simply dubbed LPH WHITE, which, as the name implies, takes a cue from those mysterious, classic, unmarked dance records of years past.

The debut 12' comes courtesy of London-based duo Waze & Odyssey, who, as is to be expected, deliver a couple of top-notch club bangers (the deadly 'Feelin' You' and deeper 'Gonna Make This') that will immediately shred any dancefloor to pieces. The one remix included in the package is by London-by-way-of-Southern California up-and-comer Urulu. (The second WHITE EP will feature four originals by the guy.)

Supplying us with a vast array of sounds and textures, Deep Site Recordings vinyl imprint gives us the 'Honey Bunny EP' from the very talented Producer and DJ, Jesus Gonsev hailing from Real, Spain. With a wide discography from labels such as Peppermint Jam, Prog City, House Cafe Music, Gastspiel and Tenor Recordings, not to mention his own imprint, the highly respected 'Troubled Kids Records' Mr. Gonsev shows us what he's all about with this 4-track EP.

'Honey Bunny (Original Mix)' lays down an extended intro with rustling percussive sounds. The organ riffs resonate along with a deep bass section grooving from start to finish. 'Honey Bunny (Sunshine Jones Remix)' brings in the piano amid soothing sweeps and a throbbing bass.

The synth line is reminiscent of Lil Louis' French Kiss. 'Walking in the Glass (Original Mix)' puts a sophisticated shuffle on the highs and a steel-drum sound for authenticity.

The rolling bass line coupled with the inspirational melodic vibes modulate with finesse through to the finish. 'Honey Bunny (Satore Remix)' commences with a dark tribal feel expanding into an uplifting deep house theme then reverts back to the mysterious providing the listener with an ultimate journey into hybrid sounds

Talented producer and live artist Pezzner is next up on the Visionquest imprint to deliver a stunning four track musical soundscape in the form of 'The Island Fantastic EP'.

'The Answer' is a deep groover for the dance floor, while 'Bird Flu' strips things back moving into a luscious melody and abstract beat. Over on the B-side 'The Island Fantastic' rolls with intricate percussions and shakes, building with intensity. Last up 'Anthology' is a deep chugger culminating into a medley of melodic synths and haunting vocals.

Resident of Seattle Washington, David Brian Pezzner is a welcome addition to the Visionquest catalogue. After some time producing music as a duo he decided to go solo and in 2010 he released his debut album on Freerange Records. He's since had releases and remixes on labels such as Systematic Recordings, 8 Bit and Crosstown Rebels receiving a massive response. Sought-after as remixer, he has been called upon to reinterpret the works of Josh Wink, Groove Armada, and Underworld just to name a few. Always featuring new productions, remixes and originals, his live set continues to take him to the far edges of the dance music map, reaching the heights of festival appearances and club shows all over the world.

Originally released in 1999, these two cuts from the rare "FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT EP" get reissued on the NOBLE SQUARE imprint. The first track is a groovin’ deep house vibe with powerful spoken word parts. "CHANGES" on the flipside is a splendid melody-filled deep tune with a classic SJU sound.

DEETROIT drops a confident 6 tracker that is going many places while still keeping the die-hard UDR fans fed with that raw sound they want! With this fourth 12" you should know by now what to expect. If not, just ask "the Underground, they understand". Bumpin house deepness with that jack-acidy flavor for good measure. Stamped white labels

The first release on Trax naturally came from the Jesse Saunders stable. It was an agreement between pressing plant owner Sheerman and Saunders and Vince Lawrence that led to the formation of the label. Early pressings even had a Jes Say catalogue number etched in them, through subsequent editions bear the Trax cat. no. "Wanna Dance", unusually for Trax is not really house at all, bearing far more similarities with the experimental productions of On-U-Sound and the Doug Wimbish/Skip McDonald crew. Says Vince "This is built around the fact that we found out that could call the Linn drum people and order a chip and that said somethin' - we got our first sampler. When we learned that you could say shit and play it like an instrument that was a big deal then."

Repressed & remastered for 2015 & featuring all original label artwork, with permission from Trax records "Wanna Dance" is now available again to be rediscovered.

Attributed with the second release of the Music Is Love sister label is the uniquely stylistic Quell. The Berlin-based artist follows the bristling authenticity of his preceding releases with a 4-track EP that further cements his reputation for no-nonsense, stripped back house and techno music.
Size 7 gets things underway, with its trilling bassline and acidy bleeps leading the course of the track, until a distorted vocal gives a rough and raw dynamic to the beat; the heavy hitting bass drives proceedings forward, growing increasingly pressurised before the 90s afflicted house chords march in to create a dark, underground roller of an intro.
Monolame picks up where Size 7 left off; an undulating bassline forms the fore of track, brimming over intermittent vocal samples and deep, shimmering chords, which operate as the focal point of the beat. Deep dubbed stabs weave subtly beneath the multi-layered arrangements, which combine superbly together to deliver a massive peak-time track.
On the B-side, Harhead leads with fluid percussive rhythms and sequential kick drums to give an immediate groove-intrinsic melody. Atmospheric synths whirl and bounce off the dubby, warped stabs while the quickening hi-hats and intricate modulations keep the pace ticking at an ever-unfolding state. The energetic, groove-led tone continues into the last track, Where Are They Now. Dark, techno-fused key stabs bounce off the fluid percussion sequences, naturally ebbing and flowing over stomping drums and careened chords. The synths and vocals contract cosmically off one another, delivering a stripped back rhythm with an acid tinged-feel.

Two songs heavily influenced by jazz and dance. If PAT METHANY made dance music, this would be it. "ACROSS YOUR MIND" is a feel good song filled with tension and release. "IN YOUR PHANTOM" will surely get your blood going in the club, headphones, or coffee shop. Taken from the album "EDGE OF SOUL". HOUSE

Marking its 11th release, Leicester-based label City Fly welcome Philpot regular Tim Toh to its already impressive roster spanning DJ Nature, Fred P, Andres, Medlar and Basic Soul Unit.
The Berlin artist is also renowned for his works on the likes of Ornaments Music, Delusions of Grandeur and Mild Pitch, and his idiosyncratic vision of electronic music is one shared with the discerning minds behind City Fly.
'Endlessly' is a track that melds interlinking rhythms with vocal snippets before easing in to a beautiful Rhodes sequence containing all the hallmarks of an absolute floor filler. 'Everything' then features the beautiful vocals of Ranavalona to engineer a track dripping with pure soul, making way for a remix from Thatmanmonkz that focuses on rhythm whilst boiling the piece down to a slice of timeless house.
Finally 'Expectations' is a number exhibiting Toh's avant-garde approach to music production whilst still focusing squarely on the dancefloor.

SOO WAVEY is back with a new 12" from VIN SOL. The "Raw" side features the floor burning jam "COOKIES" along with "SPOILED EXILE" with an appearance from MATRIXXMAN adding his patented techno feel. "PYRAMIDS" on the "Deep" side has a classic moody Chicago vibe & "MELTDOWN" is a dreamy ethereal track with analog chords offset by gentle TR-909 action.

Second release on Versatile Classic with the French duo ! Gilb'r & I:Cube aka Chateau Flight. Comic Race (VER034) was released in 2002 deep athmospheric, melodic flair and powerfull Sounds Instant Replay released in 2000 on épuzzle' album moody darker spirit...Brilliant re-edition !

Bosconi launches his new purist techno offshoot Bosconi Squirts and none else could have been to start the label it if not the mind behind this new project, the florentian techno Don Corcos. The vinyl contains 3 deadly club weapons: on A side you'll find the main version of Joujoube Soup, a heart pumping and mind blowing side-chained techno dubby & proggy track
with a minimalistic esthetic and some nuschool inspiration a la Actress style, while on B side there are remixes by 2 masters of the genre, the almighty Scott Grooves as 'Panther' who gives to the original a more detroit touch with brasilian music influences and an organic - played feel, and the japanese techno producer Onomono also known as Ono or The Blue
Herb, famous Hip Hop Japanese group, who got everything more experimental, clicky and
groovy...tasty stuff !!

Deep & soulful house release from Detroit's Gari Romalis!
