A 4 track vinyl sampler from DJ WOOL's new full length. A modern breakbeat record with a retro vibe reminiscent of releases on seminal labels like MO' WAX, WALL OF SOUND and PUSSYFOOT. DJ WOOL (aka GLEN BRADY) was also one of the co-founders of indie dance band THE GLASS.

Full pic sleeve.

For our milestone 50th release we felt we needed to do something special, so with that in mind we present the return of Red Axes to Correspondant.
Way back in 2013 we were a new label, and they were a new face on the scene.
Their hit record 'Camino de Dreyfus' helped propel both the label and the artist in to the established figures that both are today.
'Avalon' combines everything that's good about the Axes, with their signature New Wave sound taking in the tropics, but skewed through a middle eastern kaleidoscope.
'Sequência Astronomical' is familiar territory to many Red Axes releases, but takes everything either deeper, darker, or weirder than they've previously ventured, showing the huge growth in their confidence in the intervening 3 years since their last Correspondant EP.
To round off the package Correspondant also presents an as yet unavailable instrumental version of 'Camino De Dreyfus'.

Frits Wentink returns to WOLF with three signature tracks. Fans of his album, Rarely Pure, Never Simple will be pleased to hear vocalist Loes Jongerling feature on the leading cut Blaise Montoya...

small repress soon!
LTD 10" Record.....

After a string of successful disco and funk releases on Editorial Records, The Owl is back with his very own label. These sample heavy gems from the funk forest of yesteryear will soon see this nocturnal avian soar to modern disco peaks.

contains 4 tracks from minimal tech house to funky clubhouse !!

'FT', which Sean describes as 'electronic, psychedelic soul', sees him collaborate with an extraordinarily diverse range of artists, spanning some of the most significant underground musical icons of the past 40 years. This stellar collection of artists includes:- Yoko Ono, avant garde musician, conceptual artist and one of the most controversial female artists of all time, Bootsy Collins, widely regarded as one of the finest Funk/R'n'B bass players in the world, Dave Ball, co-founder of Soft Cell, notorious UK synth pioneers with the uniquely sleazy electric soul sound, Fred Schneider from the manic, bizarre and highly innovative US new-wave group B-52's and Alan Vega, vocalist of the essential and groundbreaking New York duo Suicide. A full list of collaborating artists is below.Hifi Sean is the songwriter, DJ and producer Sean Dickson. He is most famously known as front man of the Scottish band The Soup Dragons, responsible for a series of huge hit singles, 'I'm Free', 'Divine Thing', and 'Mother Universe'. Dickson was also the main creative force behind the follow-up project The High Fidelity, a much more artful and intimate project, critically acclaimed for the releases 'Demonstration' and 'The Omnichord Album' . Those albums included two very rare musical collaborations between Dickson and legendary Radio DJ John Peel and also the late Mickey Finn (one half of 70's musical giants T-Rex). In some ways, this was the germination of an idea that would provide the conceptual foundation behind 'FT Sean underwent a total musical reinvention at the turn of the millennium, evolving and transforming his creative energies from a guitar playing band front-man to a DJ. He began playing house, disco and electro in Glasgow's burgeoning and innovative club scene, before relocating to London in 2006 where he began to become a staple figure at deep house underground and afterhours clubs.As the artist Hifi Sean he is now a highly respected DJ and producer, having held residencies at Fire, Ministry of Sound, Shoreditch House and Savage Disco, as well as playing regular international shows in Europe and the USA.In creating 'FT', Sean has carefully fused elements from his past and present musical lives into something unique and joyous:The album is a journey through psychedelic dance rhythms, and electronic and soulful moods, drawing from elements of Disco, Chicago house, Detroit techno, and London underground party roots. 'FT' is at once an homage to the foundations of his musical heart and a determined attempt to forge something new and vital from the sounds that have fuelled his life in music. It is also partly an autobiography in audio of the past 15 years of his life observing dancefloors, and growing as a producer.The album guides the listener from soulful euphoria to Balearic bliss, new wave punk-house to conceptual cosmic voyage, ending with the crescendo of the full-on orchestral movement 'A Kiss Before Dying' with Alan Vega from Suicide. 'FT' carefully underlines the gifts of each of its vocalists, a work which is the instinctive pulse of multiple dances floor tempered and crafted by the nuanced heart and head of the songwriters craft:Calling upon his 25 years of music business experience and connections, Sean worked hard to pull together a collection of quite possibly one of the most impressive range of collaborations witnessed on a single release in recent memory. These transatlantic recordings were made possible through collaborations recorded in London, Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Cincinnati, Washington, Glasgow and Toronto. Sean says of the project: I think of this album as a curated gallery of all my favourite sounds and loves, and when moulded together, the record paints a unique and personal picture of my life experience.'

Son Dexter is a talented producer who released two fantastic eps on Larry Heard´s Alleviated in the early 2000´s. His influences are really extensive and diverse: deep house, funk, pop, hiphop, jazz, broken beat, rock, T-Bone Walker, Black Science Orchestra, Miles Davis, Lenny Kravitz, Al Di Meola, The Intruders...and you can feel that in this Eternity ep. When the canadian artist sent them this 4 tracks ep, the Downbeat guys could not believe what they was hearing here.

4 colourful and delicate pearls full of nuances, strength and optimism which reminds us that its possible still to find purity and unconditional love for music.

House Soul Pop Just Music. Nothing more, nothing less.

Iceland born, Norway based disco producer, BG Baarregaard, drops in for the inaugural vinyl outing of Austin, TX based imprint, Whiskey Pickle Records. The Buskerud Tales EP comes complete with four, silky smooth original productions that cover the bases between Italo Disco, Balearic, 90's tinged R&B and soulful house.

last copies of this rare disco houser !!!

After numerous releases on labels like I'm A House Gangster/Minus/Cecille/Be as One/ Sudden Drop and running his own Plant 74 there's definitely a new step for Russian DJ/Producer Tripmastaz to continue his musical attack with his fresh vinyl only label. Crafty selected underground house tracks by the man himself + unreleased hip hop beats on top of it.
Be on the look out !

Despite his artist name and his trademark sound, Steve Murphy does not come from Chicago, but from Mira, a little town on the suburban area of Venice.

Steve has been djing since 2001, and in the past years has been rocking almost every club in his region. He is serious and professional behind the decks: playing only with vinyl, he blends electro and house, techno and new wave, acid madness and pop appeal.

Steve has produced together with Die Roh an album ("The Chasm") and one e.p ("Windy City") on Chiwax, and a solo 10" ("Planet Earth") on Rawax, these records have quickly gone out of stock and that have been acclaimed by the lovers of the classic Warehouse sounds.

In 2012 he has started the Riviera project and has founded the Muscle Records label, together with Lucretio, Dj Octopus, Caio, Madì Grein and Chevel. The label is a facility to spread what has been called "the sound of Brenta": a raw, nasty, machines powered clash of house and techno. In 2012 he also released "The Dove Ultimatum" on Vae Victis Records, under the moniker of Durant: an unfriendly 12" of distorted electro and funky acid beats produced with Die Roh and Lucretio.

KDMS, the duo made up of London singer/songwriter Kathy Diamond and Silesian producer Max Skiba, return with a brilliant sophomore album of club anthems and torch songs, synthetic beats and live instruments. "The New Old Normal", out 9th December, follows their debut album "Kinky Dramas & Magic Stories" on Gomma.

On "The New Old Normal" Max Skiba (who follows last year's massive "Shanghouse" on Prins Thomas' Internasjonal imprint) presents his most mature and developed tunes, whist UK artist Kathy Diamond's vocals (known for her work with Maurice Fulton on Permanent Vacation records) reference the late 70s disco icon, adding charm and emotion throughout. Despite the album's overall pop sensibility, this is a set of eleven intricate tracks, touching upon multiple genres and quite often blending them all together: from breezy yacht rock, Paisley Park funk, Hall & Oates' blue-eyed soul to Kompakt-style house music. It's T-Rex glam and disco glitter, complemented with a techno cover of Kate Bush' "Babooshka".

On "The New Old Normal", Max and Kathy are accompanied by several high-profile guests, including the unmistakable Kurt Maloo of Double. Cover art comes courtesy of Filip Pagowski, the international graphic designer known for his work with Comme De Garcons and most recently for his artwork for Drake. Combining hypnotic rhythms with addictive pop melodies that carry clever lyrics - "The New Old Normal" is a rare achievement in today's formulaic world of club-inspired pop music.

We're really excited to be able to put one of our favourite ever WotNot releases to wax. It's a release that makes us particularly proud as we convinced K15 to let one of his house tracks out of the archive for the first time ever, as well as securing one of the few tracks to have been heard from up-and-coming wunderkind Glenn Kelly (Jeeks),before he retired early from the circuit.
Four years after it dropped digitally, featured artists K15 and IMYRMIND have become household names, releasing music with Eglo, Wild Oats,Tartelet and Money $ex Records among others.
This re-release also includes a new track from SexRulesEverything who also featured on the original release.The tracks on this EP still stand strong, and the vinyl drops alongside the release of Dancefloor Sweets Vol. 2, with more to come in 2017

REPRESS ALERT: With two massive reissues from Suns of Arqa and Jaki Whitren under their belts, the fledging label Emotional Rescue have come up with the goods once again, with this remastered reissue of incredibly rare 70s psyche-funk from Bob Chance. Two versions are included: the original 7" version, driven along by a razor-sharp guitar riff and sweetly lamenting lyrics, topped off with weird cosmic synths and galloping rhythm. However, the real gem is the edit entitled "Wild It's Broken" which sharpens the focus of the guitar and adds some serious kick to the drums to create a beefy counterpart to the new age original.

limited re-stock of this original pressing !! contains a phat electro techno track on the flip side !!

Following his stunning box set on Fundamental Records, Ed Upton aka DMX Krew makes his third outing on CPU, increasingly becoming home for his darker side.

Space Cucumbers contains a wealth of expression with Italo disco arpeggiators, seldom heard time signatures, Hi-NRG, and bass heavy electro funk. Featuring the usual aquatic tendencies mixed with echoes of darkwave. Vintage analogue strings, overdriven acid and Upton's favourite drum machine all make an appearance riding on his signature funk laced arrangements.

Wie immer hat Compost Masterind Michael Reinboth diese Compilation mit Geschmack und Sensibilität für ausgefallene Tracks zusammengestellt. Von schlagkräftigen Floorfillern, über geisterhaften Tunes oder Latin- , Funk Monstern, cinematischen Epen, Balearic, zerfransten Tools, bis bitter-süßen Hybriden ist alles dabei was Future Jazz ausmacht. Selbst die geklampfte Version von Maze - Twilight' überrascht mit einem Vibe, den FSOJ immer ausgemacht hat.

Patrick Dey Rey ist gewissermaßen ein Neuzugang in der Rotraum Familie. Mit der Disconnected EP liefert er eine Reihe deepe Dub-/Roots-/Reggae Tracks ab, die ihre technoide Seele trotz ihrer entspannten Stimmung nicht verbergen können. Der perfekte Soundtrack für die Sommernacht. Zunächst erscheint eine 12" mit den Originalen für den Einsatz in der Reggae Dancehall.

In accord with WotNot's knack for nurturing talent, our first Dancefloor Sweets featured an early appearance from Tartelet & Money $ex artist IMYRMIND, and the first ever K15 house track!
Volume 2 continues in this vein with a new pick 'n' mix bag of feel-good crowd-pleasers from EVM128, Body-san, Danvers and Galactic Ganesh, while Volume 1 also receives a long overdue (limited) press to vinyl, with a new added track from SexRulesEverything. Those familiar with EVM128 will place him firmly at the forefront of the new wave of broken beat artists. A highlight of his critically acclaimed 2015 LP Nova was Beyond, featuring soul legend Omar, and Warm 'n' Easy ft. Oliver Night stands in this vein but hits even harder, with smooth soulful vocals riding the strident rhythms flowing through the bass, drums and chords. Galactic Ganesh is a space elephant with serious junk in the trunk, evident in his outrageous grime and techno productions under another moniker (whose highlights include appearances on Black Acre and BBC Radio 1). Tell Me is a boogie-flavoured floor filler marrying the holy trinity of wah-ing synths, slapping drum machines and talkbox vocals.
Portland-based producer Body-san's much-lauded cassettes on 100% Silk and 1080p combine warm deep house grooves with 90s-flavoured digital synths and organic textures. Sensory Bin is no different, the spaced-out tape-warbled lead floating over delicious pads and a snappy beat.WotNot followers will have seen Danvers performing at various events, as well as hearing his brilliant Soccer96 remix alongside efforts from Danny Krivit and Glenn Astro last year. Hoxton 203 is sumptuously groovy; the moment those shuffling Rhodes cuts enter is a guaranteed level-upper on any dancefloor! Wherever the night's at, one of these will surely go down a treat, and it kicks off a string of new stuff from WotNot including releases from Danvers, K15, Charo and new artist William Florelle.

Mexican duo 4004 and Sebastian Vorhaus aka Soul Of Hex have had a great few years under their various monikers with releases
for Dirt Crew, Vicario Ltd and of course CVMR (label head Juan featured on Resident Advisor's recent Real Scenes:

Mexico where they return to here following their debut 'Lip Reading'. This inaugural release was accompanied by remixes from Larry Heard and put Soul Of Hex on the map for the duo, with support coming from the likes of DJ Sneak, Art Department, Sebo K, Breach, Shadow Child and Huxley to name but a few.

Opening up the package is 'Intro (II Aura En Trois Fils), a piano laden sample heavy number with weighty analogue rhythms and a
smoothly cosseting feel throughout. Following is 'Sleep Mistakes ft. Albert Vogt' which retains a similar organic aesthetic bringing
jazz infused bass licks, loose percussive lines and soulful vocal stylings into the mix alongside bright Rhodes chords and hypnotic
background atmospherics. Tartelet Records artist Glenn Astro delivers a typically raw take on 'Sleep Mistakes ft. Albert Vogt' next, taking snippets of the rhythmic and atmospheric elements in the original but reshaping things into his own intricately programmed and unconventional house style. Rounding off the package is a third and final original from Soul Of Hex entitled 'Ink', which brings a more direct dance floor feel to things with ever evolving drums swirling around chugging bass hits and soft stab sequences.

finally repressed

Armand van Helden's Old School Junkies on the 20th anniversary editions of this classic New York House label. Including the phenomenal "The Funk Phenomena".

Voyage returns with the discovery of an until now unknown artist. Unearthed from the hull of an abandoned discovery probe, the origins of Ausländer are undisclosed and unlikely to be uncovered. The three artefacts revolve around what is only understood as Ausländer's Theme, which is twice reinterpreted on the flip. No doubt made with machines, this wondrous exploration of thought, rhythm and undiscovered worlds is a welcomed addition to the Voyage catalogue.

finally repressed

The Seminal Henry Street Music bomb by Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez on fresh vinyl.

After an impressive debut in early 2015, the boys behind the Soviet veil have slow-cooked another frothy sampling of off-kilter edits from the motherland (or somewhere). Never mind the long pause between releases, the tenacious attention to detail shows on all four jams. This is one to pick up if you're a serious club DJ or not, really.

Super deep Chicago business from the mysterious Doctor Mixxx on the tiny, obscure Trax offshoot Zig-Zag. Originally released in 1993, this 3 track EP still sounds fresh today, in fact one could argue that people still try to emulate this style of Chicago House music! Deep, raw and oozing soul the 3 cuts on Zig-Zag 2 will definitely find a place in any self respecting house heads DJ set. Remastered & re-issued for 2016's dancefloors in conjunction with trax records, another dope rarity culled from the vaults - Snoozing not advised!

Nascent London label Ex-Local announces its arrival with a new 5-track EP from South London talent Kxngs. With an extensive back catalogue that includes a release on the LA collective Soulection's imprint (as Kings in 2012) - as well as self-released album earlys & EPs that can all be found on his Bandcamp page - the 25-year-old Brixton resident has been winning admirers on his own terms whilst studying Sound Arts at the University Of The Arts London which offered him an escape from a year living homeless on the city's streets.
The scope of Kxngs work on this EP draws on global travels, particularly Africa, as well as Deepak Chopra's 'The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success' - a book that Kxngs cites as having helped him "gain enlightenment and self-awareness, helping to not only focus on everyday life but also my creativity". The Earth Sign EP draws on Afrobeat, Kuduro, Hip-Hop, Trap and further influences from South America and the Middle East. This passion for exploring world cultures and to base his musical projects on his experiences with them informs all his work, and through basing his musical themes on different areas of the world Kxngs seeks to manifest his dreams and become author of his own story.
Earth Sign will be the first release on Ex-Local - a new label born out of the London club night that shifts venue every party. With a core of local artists who became returning favourites that regularly had sweat pouring from the party's ceilings, the next logical step was to start a label to help bring this young, exciting & creatively adventurous new talent to wider recognition. First stop, Kxngs.

Originally released on YORE in 2008 after a hiatus in Brussels. AFRO, JAZZ, FUNK and TECH all contribute to this 4-on-the-floor 4-piece. Heavy on the chords, basslines and percussion. Classic ALTON MILLER with a whole lot of deepness!

REPRESSED !!

It's back! The very first 12" from Chicago's SHOES crew repressed and re- released. Originally released back
in 2005 this takes the KENNY DIXON JR classic "SHADES OF JAE" (which samples BOB JAMES' "SPUNKY") and chops it up into an infectious (and longer) groover. 1-sided hand stamped white labels.

the last copys on earth !!!!

The spirit of the album was born during their first trip to Tallahassee. Florida to meet George Clinton, which resulted in a collaborative 2015 EP that also featured Sly Stone, as well as production on Funkadelic's 2015
critically acclaimed album. For their own album Soul Clap returned to Tallahassee to record at Clinton's What Studios, collaborating with fresh local talent, working day and night in P-Funk's creative space. Between there, Miami, Red Bull Studios Manhattan, Midnight Magic's studio in Greenpoint and Charlie Levine's Rad Pad in Williamsburg, this body of
music took shape. In 'Soul Clap' we can hear four years of maturing technique since their
first album, carefully crafted and supported by a whole community of musical talent. In the words of Charles Levine, one half of the duo, it digs deep into our funky souls and turns our wildest dreams into sound. If 'EFUNK' (their first album) was an attempt to create a blueprint using our past inspirations, then Soul Clap' is the beautiful skyscraper, standing tall as it looks to the future.'
This is music from an eclectic universe, where creativity and mystery are the guides. Lead single 'Shine' is an anthemic wonder featuring the legendary Nona Hendryx, founding member of the group Labelle, and collaborator with George Clinton & P-Funk, Talking Heads and Peter Gabriel to name a few. 'Elevation' and 'Numb' feature Tallahassee locals Ebony Houston, Ricky Tan, Dayonne Rollins and Freeky Neek, while
original member of Funkadelic, Billy Bass' Nelson brings his low-slung flavor to 'Funk Bomb' and 'Future4Love'. Members of Soul Clap's core Crew Love family, Wolf + Lamb, Nick Monaco and Greg Paulus of No Regular Play also play integral roles on this eleven track album, a truly collaborative endeavor that echoes its message through the soul. Eli Goldstein and Charles Levine have a rare and insightful take on electronic music that breaks through the limitations that often cages others and as DJs they have held residencies everywhere from Circo Loco at
DC10 Ibiza, to Output in New York. Long ago our mentor Caril Mitro from Vinyl Connection (a record store in their hometown of Boston) taught us that House wears many hats'. That means that the music that we love so much comes in many shapes and sizes,' explains Goldstein. 'We are children of the 80's and 90's so funk and hip hop were our early influences, but discovering the rave and being led into house and disco, these genres feel very organic and homegrown to us. We carry these
influences in our attitudes and beings. Music has the incredible power to shape a personality and it has molded us into the artists we have become.'
Starting out cutting their teeth in the 90's Boston rave scene, they soon found fame through a series of house edits and became household names through notable releases, including a DJ Kicks alongside close allies Wolf + Lamb and their electric first album called EFUNK. The title, which stands for Everybody's Freaky Under Nature's Kingdom, and sounds like modern electronic funk, became their calling card, and led to their collaboration with George Clinton and honorary entry into the P-Funk family. EFUNK is a bridge between the discerning futurism of underground
dance and the charisma and boldness of funk and pop culture. For Charlie funk is his foundation, for Eli it's jazz, and as their infamous Yoyoyo 90's Jam parties testified (playing only classics from the era), they have the ability to transform and lead in more than one movement. Back in the day at the Warehouse in Chicago with Frankie Knuckles or The
Paradise Garage with Larry Levan there was no one sound that dominated musically. It was all about diversity and eclecticism. This was the ethos then and it is a very large philosophy behind us individually and as Soul Clap. In fact it is diversity in sound that initially brought us together back in the 90's and it is the yin-yang nature of us today that pushes us forward into the
FUTURE!'

Seventh editizione for this hit series. Again is a collaboration between Gülbahar Kültür (WDR Funkhaus Europe / Radio Bremen) and Johannes Heretsch aka Louie Prima (Radio Corax Halle / Electro Swing Revolution Radio Berlin).

Dutch producer Frits Wentink continues to flourish in the follow up to his debut LP Rarely Pure Never Simple that was released on WOLF Music back in March this year.

Throughout releases on Heist and Wolf, Frits has consistently drawn for his arsenal of synths, effects and drum machines and through doing so has stitched a sound characterised by raw drums, analogue bass tones and odd, lo-fi samples.

Whilst maintaining ties with the aforementioned labels, Frits has also recently created his own platform in Bobby Donny - a space for him and his friends to experiment that has so far seen records from himself and San2.

Now - the follow up to San2's Impartial Perspective EP Frits lines up the 3rd release on Bobby Donny - Horses In Cornfield: a naturally sequenced, 4-track EP brimming with gently wobbling piano samples, tightly swung drums and thick, brazen bass lines.

The title track kicks things off with crispy claps and thrumming tape textures before wild blobs of filter synth tones and sparse piano chords come into play.

Girls in Matching Bathing Suits' then sits an unusual croon over driven, long-tailed kick drums before Man At Parade drives a tight, irresistible groove through a sweet, circling piano sample and more playful synth work.

Bouquet At Rest then sets more scuzzy drums plodding through a 2-note piano riff and free-flowing effects control that caps off another fine addition to the Bobby Donny series and another stellar 12" from Frits Wentink.

Remixes by MARTIJN TEN VELDEN / CLAUDE MONNET & TORRE BROS / JIMPSTER

City Fly are very pleased to announce the upcoming release of their 13th record, and it's a very special one indeed.
The Leicester imprint has always been a champion of quality house music both local and worldwide, but this latest wax features the talent of the home team with a track from each of the City Fly crew. The collection hones in on City Fly's trademark sound of deep, authentic house music with no compromise.
The EP open's with recent Future Society by Seven Davis Jr signing Jonna & Samwell with their debut collaboration Henry Western featuring the unstoppable Lady Blacktronika.
It's a heads down, no nonsense affair with moody chords underpinning mournful vocals that just ooze soul. Next up is the smooth, loopy disco of Last Trip to Gandahar's R136a1 which is a classic cut that even Soundstream himself would be proud of.
From here we move on to 'Without You' by Darran P, which balances silky Rhodes chords and melancholic vocals.
Bringing the EP to a close is J'Shez's killer remix of 'Holloway' by Flori. The original surfaced on City Fly 003 and this reinterpretation is a pure pumper from start to finish.
