"the secret": with a classic sample wich is already used in a
classic early 90s ravetrack from suspicious the massive break

2022 Repress

"We've now been at this since 2010 and over the years we've really tried to deliver the kind of house music (and beyond) that we would play, listen and dance to ourselves.
We really tried to avoid the dangerous traps of following trends which in the long run can water down labels to just a music portal instead of a music brand with character.

Basically, we aim to deliver our own musical personality via artists and producers that we love and respect. To sum things up, we are proud to present Local Talk - 13 Years Later.

On this 13 Years Later compilation we reached out to some of our friends on the house scene and as always, we try and aim for a wide spectrum of styles.
You'll hear everything from classic house, deep house and soulful house to Detroit(ish) and Jazz(ish) from some of our fave producers.

We sincerely hope you will enjoy this selection of dance MUSIC as much as we do and that there's something for everyone on our compilation."

'Set off the 'neuf trois' Kingdom, teaming up with its notorious local brawler. You'll make your way through the tropical forest and the arid desert to make this night a memorable masterpiece - so be ready to be transported into an unexpected fantasy adventure."

Noir Music´s sub-label NM2 gets a whole new relaunch in late 2015. New artwork - vinyl cover and of course - great music.

Another preciosity from the amazing Exist Dance catalogue made readily available to your record collections in newly remastered format. On the A side, “We're Go” is a 3 stage piece of breaky prowess developing throughout a total of almost 13 minutes spiraling around a catchy cosmonautic vocal sample. B1 brings a quintessential Rave energy to the table with samples from live crowds echoing over high octane break rhythms, would be hard to stand still for the duration of this - highly effective on a dance floor. B2 takes a turn towards more introspective moods as it brings in psychedelic elements intertwined with “world music” samples. Very much characteristic of the distinguished Kandel/Chasteen Exist Dance sound. West coast early 90's rave at its best, can't go wrong. “Recorded in Heaven, in 1991, according to the label.”

Singer/songwriter Miller Blue teams up with the lo-fi house maestro Laurence Guy to create the sublime glistening cut "Everything is Everything", serving as a first taste from their upcoming EP "My Heart Still Leans on You".

Released via the ever excellent Shall Not Fade, this "after-hour aux cable anthem", encapsulates both the end and the beginning of a nostalgia supercharged journey. In Laurence's own words "this song came together with no time to spare, right at the end of a studio session... within an hour of jamming to my instrumental, Miller had both written and recorded the whole song, had everyone dancing around the room with their jaws on the floor."

"Everything is Everything" is a true testament to the pairs artistic abilities and establishes this team as a potent creative force to be reckoned with. Both already seasoned artists, they have captivated millions of fans all around the world, amassing over 64,000,000 streams on Spotify alone and extensive coverage in publications such as COMPLEX, BBC Radio, Clash and COLORS. Along with print and radio support they have been championed by countless tastemakers, artists and editorial playlists including New Music Fridays, Brainfood and Lofi House.

The fourth release on 18437 features Nico Lahs using his NLXLB moniker...

On Dirty Vision he gives us those deep, deep stabs with a proper old-school feel, a blend between Detroit and Chicago, not too far from something Three Chairs would make.

First up we got 'Dazed Dreams', a deep and drowsy Motor City deep house jam. Next up is 'Dirty Vision', a dusty High-tech Jazz cut for the after hours and finally 'Synthetic Wars'.
Nico goes all in and delivers a gritty and intergalactic Techno track.

Label info:
18437 Records is a brand new label by focused on the outer fringes of house and techno.

Rolando Simmons - a revered name in certain acidic circles - joins Utter for the 'Human Remains' EP, a wildly inventive 8-track adventure that deftly dabbles in rave, IDM, Techno and beyond in classic RS style. The project is the creative brainchild of Mattias Östling, who has been on a prolific production streak since the late 2000s, firstly under the name Trackermatte before settling into work under his current moniker.

This particular release is a missing puzzle-piece of sorts, compiled and sequenced by Utter's Alex Egan from a self-released digital collection titled 'Human Touch' which initially surfaced on Bandcamp during the producer's golden 2016 'Walk On Strawberries' and 'World Building' era.

'Human Touch' was a curious selection of unmastered oddities - the first Östling made using audio signal processing environment Cecilia5 - which remained largely overlooked due to its digital limbo. The tracklist itself shifted, with bonus tracks appearing then disappearing. While the excellent Dutch label 030303 cherry-picked the original version of the title track for a 2019 2xLP of the same name, the rest of the material remained frustratingly unavailable on vinyl and elsewhere, including the elusive bonus track which prompted Egan to reach out to Östling in the first place, the stunning 'sq1_mc4_iloveu03a_149unedit'.

That track is firmly at the core of this new EP, under its new title 'Nueva Traditional', as well as the alternative CV Beszállás edit of 'Human Touch'. They are surrounded by every other un-pilfered gem that originally appeared alongside them - however briefly - with all material freshly mastered and cut by Anne Taegert at D&M. The artwork and large fold-out poster (included with the 12") were designed by the Timpani Mystique Agency.

No stone left unturned!

For their first release, London label Moonworks are reissuing two highly sought-after UK house bombs from Carlos Baker aka Serpico to mark the 30th anniversary of its original 1993 release.

'Just Can't Stop' is a record which fell through the cracks, deemed not commercially viable enough by the major label that Serpico was signed to at the time. Determined to get the music out there, Baker decided to self-release a limited run of blue labelled vinyl. Several big independent labels of the '90s were subsequently interested in putting out the tracks, however it never came to fruition.

Over 30 years this record has aged gracefully, inspiring generations of diggers with its quirky euphoric feel, weighty low-end and intoxicating synthwork becoming a prized possession for some of the biggest names on the scene, with original copies trading hands for £100+. Whether you draw for the ecstasy-inducing Incantation Mix or the acid-infused Orca Space Dub, there’s no denying this is a timeless masterpiece from the UK underground.

Moonworks have worked closely with Serpico to bring this gem back down to earth, restoring the tracks from the original DAT tapes at Gat Decor’s studio, remastering them to modern standards and finally giving this music the official release it deserves.

Cahoots Records continues their beloved artist series with Guy Johnson.

After releasing a crowd favorite 'Chavanu' on their last V/A record, his
Borneo Bongo EP packs four unique drops, reinforcing his unique style.

Each track represents a dark and mysterious journey, deep in the jungles of Borneo.

Behind the breathing grass
When the night whispers
There are blaring sounds
And shouts of all hues
The dawn is red tiger camo
We're lost in mother nature
Borneo bongo has been awaken
Transcend the jungle of danger

- Guy Johnson

Johannes Heil and Ian Pooley rework two tracks from DJ and producer Meda on ‘Remixes From The Vault’.

Since its 2018 inception, Parisian imprint Badam Music has served as an outlet for consistent quality music hosting artists such as Art Of Tones and Matthias Vogt with releases backed by Annie Mac, Jamie Jones, Honey Dijon, Alinka, Luciano, Mousse T and more . Now, techno-wizard Johannes Heil of Cocoon fame and Pooledmusic boss Ian Pooley arrive on the imprint to reinterpret two tracks from label favourite Meda on ‘Remixes From the Vault’.

Pounding drums and ravey stabs fuel Johannes Heil’s fibrous techno reshape of ‘Rescue Me’ as anthemic keys rain down on cavernous basslines, before swinging low-ends, glossy pads, and jazzy motifs shape Ian Pooley’s chunky house remix of ‘Nuit Blanche’.

Primitive needs unearth long-lost technology, rituals and rhythms on their Craigie Knowes debut. Technical and tribal in equal doses from a forgotten time, the Protosphere EP packed with beats to shake the deepest of buried bones. Pumping tracks for the dancefloor with layers of intelligence to discover and re-discover with each pass of the stylus.
