House News

Greetings from Baba Osman: NO BOARDERS

The Nugs are back in business. For this second EP we joined forces with two Italian artists. On side A, Robbenspierre delivers two amazing tracks, A1 has a solid bassline followed by an oldschool vibe, A2 brings an hypnotic groove pointed straight to the dancefloor. Side B belongs to the promising duo, Dormald. B1 is a mysterious House track with a touch of acid, B2 has a strong minimalistic rhythm separated by a sequence of breaks.

The dynamic duo of ROTCIV and Das Komplex are back on Luv Shack Records to finish off what they started with the "Magic Silk #1 EP" in 2019.

Das Komplex' "Jak Mo?na Nie Mówi? O Pesymi?mie" (wich translates to "how can you not speak about pessimism") is boasting with psychedelic effects, polish spoken words and a plethora of funky disco tropes, all cumlinating in a 10 minute super disco jam.

Hot on the heels comes ROTCIV´s remix of Das Komplex' "Silk" from the first Magic Silk EP. The "Transmix" comes with a driving 4tothefloor groove and an italo-esqe synth bassline at the heart of the mix, while still maintaining the pittoresqe atmosphere of the original with layers of heavily mangled effects.

On "Space Explore", ROTCIV constructs a complex slow burner, setting up an eerie atmosphere of digital soundbytes, vocal snippets, ghostly strings and fat synth pads on top of a cosmic disco groove.

Lastly, Das Komplex remixes "Your Highness", adding a classic disco groove with lots of analog

An outsider in the Detroit scene, Jared Wilson's meandering acid jams have always sounded more Cornish than American. His brand new EP for the Netherlands' 030303 Records continues on that spacey tip. Sea Friends starts warm, bassy and laidback with upbeat and frenetic melodies taking over later on, lifting the tune to another level. Seeing is Forgetting is a melancholic, beatless acid trip, drenched in a strange field recordings setting with waves, vocal snippets and bird sounds all present. Potentially referring to Detroit's legendary record label and distribution company is Submerge the Ship, the most layered and mesmerizing jam on this twelve, a track that truly sends you off to the depths of the deep sea. Closing track Yogacamp is the fastest one on the record and with various eerie melodies battling for dominance, a great once for the darker dance floors.

Rotciv is the Brasilian born, Berlin based man behind Mister Mistery records. This prolific producer has been out there for quite a long time and you might remember "The Rimshooters", the long lasting collaboration with Massimiliano Pagliara himself. Now it is time for Rotciv to offer a piece of his synthesisers' craftsmanship to Funnuvojoere Records. This five tracker EP expresses Rotciv's skills with harmony and music progression. A1 AWAKENING starts off with a piano house arpeggio and slowly evolves into a trance acid-tinged explosive motive. Organic feeling drums develop giving it a disco touch that will put a smile on the crowded dance floor. A2 GOOD SPELL combines a pure cosmic style with a New Beat-like dissonance and uplifting vocals. B1 KNOW THE UNKNOWN keeps the experimentation levels high with distortions and an 8bit dialogue that drifts into a progressive-kind of sound. Deeper than the rest B2 puts on stage a dark landscape that reminds of a black and white vampire movie. B3 INTERMISSION follows up and gives the final ambient touch to this delightful EP.

After A Few Years On Hiatus, One Electronica Has Gone All Out In With A Heavy Debut 4 Tracker From New Member - Thought Camera. The Young Belfast Born Producer Who Has Been Very Busy In The Studio Putting Together An Arsenal Of Electronic Weapons Has Also Enjoyed An Increase In Popularity And Profile In The Local Scene Due To His Hard Work And Commitment To The Cause. With Such A Strong Release About To Drop In The Next Few Weeks And With More Unreleased Material On Its Way This Guy Is Worth Keeping An Eye On As A Rising Talent.

Without Using Too Many Bullshit Analogies - This Is Release Is Simply Dancefloor Bliss And A Djs Dream That Will Be Keep At The Front Of A Record Box For Years To Come And Could Be A Favourite Among Various Styles. The Title Track Astral Pilot Comes In Strong With Spatial Glitchy Electronic Chatter And Tubular Echoes That Are Pretty Damn Haunting. Headspace Comes In On A2 Which Is The Antithesis Of Serenity And Meditation That The Name Suggests. This Acidic Jack Track Is Upbeat And Laden With Bass Bleeding All Over The Place. Flip It Over And You Have Lifeforms On The B1 Which Is The Most Technical Track On The Release Which Ebbs And Flows Between Solemn And Sombre Leaving You Emotionally Twisted Yet Intrigued - This Is One To Look Out For!!! Obsession Which Aptly Depicts This Track, A Stalker In The Night, Haunting, Imposing, Friday 13th Shit. Not For The Faint Hearted.

Presenting a fully legit, remastered and repackaged reissue of this extremely sought after, cult 12" from the Addis Posse featuring unreleased and previously unheard music. Brand new style for 2020.

The Addis Posse was one of the main outfits on this cult label. Featured on this very special EP is the much sought after 'Pirate Acid Mix' of this original breakbeat masterpiece, which has been a huge festival winner with the likes of Peggy Gou, Palms Trax and Josey Rebelle amongst others this summer.

Joined also by a previously unreleased, pulled from DAT tape Alternative Acid Version which has never ever seen or heard before - this is a real treat and one DJs will want to sweat! Across the EP’s 4 cuts are all the 'definitive' versions of this absolute dance floor bomb - WD fashion - right and correct! Essential business, right here!

London's Warriors Dance label was a unique operation and a pioneering London label during the late 80's acid house phenomena. Home to an assortment of DJs, MCs and soundmen, they went on to make their own original and indelible mark on the rave scene from the infamous 'Addis Ababa' studio on Harrow Road on the North-West side of the city.

A former reggae and soul studio that was instrumental to the output of influential artists like Soul II Soul and more, a steady diet of reggae, bass, hip-hop, house and techno kept their edgy, and diehard UK sound and style right at the cutting edge of the dance music underground across the globe with the top DJs and producers of the day celebrating the label. The studio, helmed by label owner Tony ‘Addis’, acted as an incubator for artists whose names would go down in the history books.

The Addis Posse ‘Let The Warriors Dance’ EP is the pure unadulterated WD vibe, featuring original label artwork tweaked by Atelier Superplus and lovingly remastered by Curvepusher, UK.

Special thanks to Nicky Trax & Tony Addis. Proudly distributed by Above Board distribution - 2020 -

Ritmos is the alias of L.A. via Honduras music producer Roberto Espinosa. The Ritmos EP features the magic touch of Detroit keyboardist Jon Dixon on “Finding Who You Are”. The second track “Starseed” takes us on an abstract journey where polyrhythms and moody chords collide. “Words of Fire” �nds the legendary Lee “Scratch” Perry contributing vocals to a primal body mover with it’s fusion of original dub riddims and style over a 4/4 �oor �ller. Finally, Yaxteq’s own Nomadico strips down “Words of Fire” for a retro-futuristic Dub Techno remix .

LA’s Cromie joins Detroit imprint Clave House to release four mesmerizing cuts entitled ‘Root Bulb’.

A familiar face in the Los Angeles house scene, Nikola Hlady aka Cromie has established himself through his talents and graft in the studio showcasing his distinctive deep house rhythms, clever chord progressions and focus on charismatic sound design. His previous releases on Material Image, Amadeus Records and These Things Take Time join hypnotically driven atmospheres with captivating rhythms creating forward- thinking yet classically-minded sonics. His ‘Root Bulb’ EP sees the LA producer join the Clave House family accompanying artists such as Ali Berger, Pascäal, 外神 deepspace, Appian, Gerald Norton, Segv and Berndt.

Cromie's ‘Root Bulb’ EP picks up where his 2018 releases left off, taking inspiration from the Southern California landscape that surrounds him, with its juxtaposition of endless expanses of concrete amidst its staggeringly diverse flora and famous sunshine.
‘Root Bulb’ kicks things off with absorbing pads layered over rough and raw percussion with angelic textures in the distance before ‘Lilac’ delivers breaks-tinged drums, a catchy, buried sample, infectious synth notes and warming melodies inviting the listener’s focus.

‘Aristocrat Motel’ maintains the enrapturing ambience by fusing pulsating bass shoots, alleviating tones and charming, earworm keys offering a club-focussed yet introspective track until ‘Root Bulb (Grove Mix)’ rounds off proceedings with downtempo broken-beat grooves, tantalising vibrations and undulating, cosmic elements.

CHIWAX welcomes Daniela La Luz! We've had already the honour to present this outstanding Lady on
RAWAX & HOUSEWAX. Now it's time for some Acid House on CHIWAX. Come Into My Land is a very
promising EP including 4 club tracks with the remarkeble touch of Daniela.

Jules Etienne, formerly known as J.E.E.P. is an imaginative multi-instrumentalist. The french artist has been collaborating different times with label owner Massimiliano Pagliara and you might remember "Egyptian Nipples", their duo project that came out on A personal Music not long ago. Funnuvojere is proud now to present his "Biscotte" a little jewel of beautiful harmonies. This EP takes its inspiration from a range of disparate elements.If the funky house groove of the title track and A2 "MS20 (The Answer)" stage a colourful dance party winking to Klein and MBO's glitterballs; B1 "Pyongyang Blues" dives deep into the night with an acid throb embellished by bells and cosmic pads.The EP closes up with "Thyle II" a calming luxuriant balearic composition. An ear pleaser in pure Funnuvojere style.

Steinzeit concludes the MRT grey series. The duo is comprised of Hansruedi Schn¸riger, one half of Echo 106, and Bjorn Magnusson. They recorded these three tracks in a weekend's time inside Magnusson studio, which is an abandoned factory in the middle of nowhere, in Switzerland, using bare concrete walls as an echo chamber. The pace is slow, atmosphere is bleak, tone is melancholic, drums are evil. It reflects how Switzerland feels in winter. Lonely, and this is true, like the name of the tracks.

Following on from his standout album on Nite Grooves, Jozef K is back with more of his underground brilliance on Lost City Archives Vol.3.

RAWAX is very honoured to welcome a true House legend to the family. Mr. Roy Davis Jr joined forces with us to present some of his greatest releases re-mastered & back on vinyl! Now it's time for "The Wild E.P. Pt.2"
Added on board the Chicago house production team Phuture, as a replacement for DJ Pierre, Roy Davis Jr. later followed his mentor to New York and worked at Strictly Rhythm, recording his own singles for Force Inc., Big Big Trax and Power Music. Originally born in California, Davis moved to Chicago's south side early in his childhood. After being turned on by legendary acid-house pioneers like Phuture and Lil' Louis, he became a DJ and began producing as well, with his first single, "20 Below," recorded for the Jack Trax label.

Roy describes the music that he makes as "soul electrica"; soul music mixed with electronics. His style has changed and grown up through the years as he has been going back to his spiritual roots in house music, away from the sound that he once was associated with - Phuture's "acid" and "wild pitch." The sound he is working on is expanding more on the soulful side combining an unmistakable deep funk sound of Chicago.

After the huge success of their first collaboration, Doorly and El Prevost are back for part two: this time the world touring Doorly serves up a hot original that gets remixed
by Red Rack'em and El Prevost, while El Prevost also serves up an original of his own, all on his own No Speakers label. The first EP, featuring a Lee Foss remix, gotsupport form the likes of Paco Osuna, Solomun and Groove Armada and this second instalment is set to be just as big this summer.
Doorly is a dance heavyweight who headlines clubs like Space Ibiza on his globaltravels, releases on Cajual, Hot Creations and Dirtybird and is no stranger to hitting high places in the charts with his big and infectious sounds. As a DJ he is energetic and can make a mark on any dance floor, and so will this new tune, 'Sonder.' It is six superbly deep and atmospheric minutes of warm, rolling drums and searching synths that bring an intergalactic feel next to twinkling keys. Jostling percussion brings a little loose funk and the whole thing is sure to lock in dance floors.
El Prevost then steps up to remix after 15 years of putting out killer cuts on labels like Third Ear. His music has made its way into the record bags of tastemakers like Steve Bug, DJ Hell and Steffi and this excellent remix shows off his singular style again. It is a little tougher and more energetic than the original, with sprinkled hits, rumbling bass and pixelated synth lines dancing about up top.
Then comes Red Rack'em, the Bergerac boss who had a huge hit with 'Wonky Disco Bassline Banger' last year. It was one of the tracks of the year and has been followed by an equally brilliant album by this esteemed house veteran. His remix here is big, bouncy and off kilter thanks to its coarse hi hats and punchy rubber drums. Great vocal treatment adds more wonkiness and broad synth strokes flesh things out into another sure-fire party starter that sounds like little else.
Last but not least, El Prevost offers up a solitary state mix of his own 'Temper Mental'. It's a hugely inventive track with great synth modulations burrowing deep into your brain as dancing hi hats and whirring bass encourage you to cut loose and shift freaky shapes.
This is a strong EP that really packs a punch across four standout tracks

First release and sensory trip into flmmaker and DJ producer Paulo Chinatown's mind. An hologram of the Berlin crash experience rendered for your ears, eyes and hear.

Hot on the heels of their proud new charity project and first ever compilation ‘Freeride Millenium presents Queer Base’, this agenda setting label returns with an evocative new EP from Brazilian artist Rotciv, also appearing on vinyl in collaboration with Pauls Musique. DJing since 1996 and Berlin based since 2010, Rotciv has been playing places like the acclaimed Panorama Bar, Frankfurt’s legendary Robert Johnson club and the Cocktail D’Amore parties for many years. He runs Mister Mistery, a label focused on house music, while also releasing himself on Luv Shack, Unterton (Ostgut Ton) Skylax and many more. All this comes alongside his The Rimshooters project with Massimiliano Pagliara. He kicks off this fresh EP with ‘Number of Names’, a rugged roller on the border between house and techno with a phased bassline and rolling chords that get you in a meditative state. The more upbeat ‘Glutamate Transmission’ gets you shifting shapes with its daubs of acid, crisp percussive flashes and busy bassline, then ‘True Colour’ has an old school Chicago feel with its chatty claps and acid lines. The moods continue to evolve with style on ‘Bubbles The Chimp’, a tense cut of broken techno, futuristic machine sounds and lively synths. Beautiful ambient closer ‘Soundwaves’ is a lush comedown amongst the stars. This is a fully formed and journeying EP of fantastic underground sounds with artwork by Daniel Rajcsanyi.

Heavy weight Furthur Electronix artists compilation to celebrate the birth of label owner Anil’s daughter Vera. Limited copies..

It is with great pleasure that Public Possession and Cascine present to you the debut album of Bell Towers. Elev-en singles deep into his catalogue, his first LP is finally ready, an „Ode to escaping into (and out of) the emo-tional pits of dance floors – about finding a place in one night’s fantasy¹”. Musically it’s all we’ve ever wanted from a Bell Towers production: ear worm melodies, sharp baselines, wild cross-references in between genres and at last sees him explore his abilities as a singer/songwriter to full extent. Junior Mix is the sort of pop music that one is always looking for, but rarely finds - bright, charming and a little bit mad.

We sincerely hope you enjoy.

Bengoa's B2 Recordings returns with its third release this June, this time the inaugural release from newcomer Zaq, entitled 'Magic Silver' and backed with a remix from the label-head himself. B2 Recordings : ''Zaq is an analogue machine expert and upcoming bright new talent in the scene. Collecting analogue gear from the age of 15, Zaq's output has influences from dub to italo, early 80s and 90s drum machines, ambient, reggae and acid house - his debut on B2 recordings is a personal statement and the start of many great things that are about to follow from the young artist.'' 'Body Waves' leads on the release, a tripped out dub infused cut drive by evolving ethereal atmospheres, echoing synth stabs and off-kilter drums. Following is 'Take Heed' which embraces a more tool like approach via bumpy beats and circling dub to keep things moving. On the flip, the original mix of 'Magic Silver' is up first, showcasing the acid house influences of the artist, blending together squelchy 303 licks with dub stab sequences and 808 drums. Bengoa's Club Reshape of Magic silver then rounds out the package and tips things into peak-time realms, fusing the original with a dynamic 909 drum workout and enchanting spoken word vocals.

The second release on Nothing But Nice comes once again from co-founder James Andrew. The ‘Mission Of Vision EP’ showcases the labels core identity; four cuts that transcend house, breakbeat and garage, made with the dance floor in mind.

Big basslines, punchy drums and subtle hints of acid feature alongside classic organs and floaty pads, to give the EP that signature NBN spin.

Classic, pioneering 1989 acid house track with new remixes by Serge Santiago, Mall Grab, Rebuke and Nathan Micay. The original featured Gary Haisman on vocals and reached no.3 in the UK Singles Chart in 1989. A truly legendary and genre-defining track - it was originally banned by the BBC and is a key part of the legacy of UK dance music. It was also no 1 in 1989 on the Billboard Dance chart.

Jan Schulte aka Bufiman drops a 12" of dubbed up drum versions of tracks from his‘Albumsi' LP (out earlier this year on Dekmantel).
Bendy ol TIP on this!

Under the pseudonyms 4 A.M. and Beat Per Bar, Lupos Sobre-Vega released two eccentric 12”s, of what, in retrospect, can be called vernacular house music. Both records are individualistic collisions of New Wave, Bass, Freestyle, Hi-NRG, Acid, and Sample House recorded in Sobre-Vega’s home studio in Orange County, Los Angeles. Using a Yamaha QX-5, Roland S-50, his mom's Roland Juno 60, EMU drum machines, and Yamaha DX-7, he put his nascent jazz chops to use and laid down the idiosyncratic dance tracks that he would self-release on his own label, House Hold Records, in 1988 and 1989 respectively. Although both 12”s were credited to groups, Sobre-Vega confirms that “the so-called band members were club friends. A couple were models and actors, or just plain good ol’ dancers. They were strategically picked by me, of course. So yeah, 4 A.M. and BEAT PER BAR are 300% me. There is no other.”

Despite working within the confines of dance music’s ready-made rhythms, Sobre-Vega’s sensitivity transcends the inarticulate 4/4 beat - vulnerable, idealistic and yearning. The timeless themes on the records reveal his youthful worries about money, intimacy, love and sex. Looking back at dance music history, it is luminaries such as Arthur Russell, Sylvester, Grace Jones, Theo Parrish, and Larry Heard, that stand out as enduring visionaries that transcended stylistic trends. Mixed Signals is proud to illuminate Sobre-Vega’s work in the constellation of dance music’s radical dreamers with this EP comprised of two songs from each his scarce and singular 12”s

As a special edition for the 25th release on Balkan Vinyl - six tracks selected from the label's back catalogue - four of them having never before released on vinyl, the remaining two from highly sought after out-of-print releases.

Includes the last ever track released by LFO I Love Acid', Global Goon's acid anthem Craehzrhd' from the very first Balkan release in 2010, and the opener from the late Andreas Gehm 12' on I Love Acid Heaven and Hell'. Luke Vibert, B12, and Plaid round off the EP with tracks that were previously only available as part of a digital download from the label itself (never in shops until now).

This is a vinyl-only release.
