Hercules & Love Affair return to the fray with 'Controller', a pulsing, propulsive new song that signals the first salvo from their long-awaited new album. Featuring The Horrors' Faris Badwan on vocals, it takes the Hercules' disco-house heritage and fuses it with starker post-punk stylings. A taster both sonically and aesthetically of the new album, Controller connects new wave, post-punk and 80s electro within the clubland realm of Hercules & Love Affair. Also featured is Tuff City Kids Italo-Disco inspired remix, and Mike Simonetto homage to early 90's West Coast Break-beat House, and then there is the superb Dub of the original....What a package!
Hearing the The Horrors' live version of Frankie Knuckles & Jamie Principle's 'Your Love', Andy realised he'd found a rock artist willing to engage with dance culture's history. With its underbelly of seamy '80s electro-pop yet recalling early house records by the likes of Lil Louis and Bam Bam, 'Controller''s sub-dom, master-and-servant roleplay in the lyrics work perfectly with Faris vocals delivery creating something truly quiet special.

EUREKA is one of the most exciting party and house crews in Tokyo that works with the theme 'Quality House Music Never Betray'. Now they're also starting up their own record label with a little help from their close friends over at Local Talk Records.
The very first release on EUREKA! comes from ex Bristol producer Crackazat who has had multiple releases on Local Talk, Future Boogie and Z Records.
With is melodic and jazzy take on House music he's quickly moved up on the underground scene as one of the key producers on today's house scene. A 'COFFEE TIME'
This track has a strong character with a bumpy combination of a catchy vocal chorus and a jazzy horn samples. It's a track that is so simple but still contains so much music.
B. 'SEVEN STEPS' Here we go more up-tempo but still with a jazzed up vibe. With a killer piano jazz loop (Miles!) and some added house chords, jacked up 4/4 beats, swinging hi-hats and we get a real winner for the dancers.

Mysidian is a nice underground label from the west coast of the USA. From the same brain behind the Forest Jams label (Albion, Spaziale). Two new releases are up for pre-order. One featuring edits by Hysteric (Salamanca/Public Possession) and one by Wall Street (Neud Photo) from New York City (including a Vercetti Technicolor remix).
The man from down under has been on a roll lately with his recent mix and EP with Public Possession as well as his blood-sucking edit on Salamanca. Taking pointers from the movie star E.T. he phoned home after a successful European tour as part of the Bordello a Parigi crew. Here, Hysteric follows up Mysidian's debut release Italo-Record' with 5 extraterrestrial edits that'll make for a great soundtrack to your exit from Planet Earth and return to your home-planet.

Originally out on Durium in 1985, this rare Italo 12 gets a repress through Dark Entries !

On 'Other Life' the creative forces of Scottish producer MAKENESS and art pop four piece Adult Jazz combine to create an addictive slice of catchy disco-not-disco with post-punk influences.

MAKENESS is the name of producer and songwriter Kyle Molleson. Having grown up in The Outer Hebrides it was at Leeds Uni that he meet Harry Burgess, Steven Wells, Tim Slater and Tom Howe of Adult Jazz. Drawing on influences from Afro Beat, New-Wave and techno in 2015 he had his debut release 'Laca-Langa', a thundering percussive track. Adult Jazz released two lovingly received records, 2014's 'Gist Is' and 2016's 'Earrrings Off!' (on Tri-Angle) and have established themselves as one of Britain's finest new experimental pop groups, with lyrics that tackle questions of identity and belief.
Prior to the release on Meno Records, a then unreleased 'Other Life' was remixed by Whities producer Minor Science. 15 dub plates were pressed up and stamped with MXMS, finding their way to Jamie XX, Ben UFO and Roman Flügel, who all played the track. The original track is now being released by Meno Records, with a limited run of 300 12' as well as being made available digitally. Fans of avant-disco will rejoice at the sound, with its loose and un-quantized groove, synth squeaks, flourishes and off-kilter vocal falsetto, it's the artists but not as you know them and totally addictive. MAKENESS and Adult Jazz let their hair down and follow Arthur Russell's advice, 'First Thought, Best Thought'.

Prins Thomas takes a bow to the original New York nightclub with his new three disc compendium mischieviously entitled 'Paradise Goulash', a marathon adventure into his ingenious and ground-breaking style.


One of Norway's most renowned musical exports, Prins Thomas has fashioned a fresh direction for dance music. As with his peers Todd Terje, Hans-Peter Lindstrom, and some of the city's legendary characters like the mysterious DJ Strangefruit, he has the very laid-back nature of his Oslo residence to thank for encouraging his path, one that has created a global ongoing fascination with retro futurism and cosmic oddities.


Prins Thomas' relationship with the esteemed Eskimo label from Belgium began with the "L&PT" album together with Lindstrom ten years ago, followed by the mix-cd 'Cosmo Galactic Prism' eight years ago. This project brings him full circle back to the imprint. His unending eclecticism is indulged in heavily in 'Paradise Goulash', each disc a gentle wander within the musical mind of 'the Prins', enlisting the help of some superior production talents from the notorious Robert Hood, Actress, Marcellus Pittman, Young Marco, I:Cube and Hieroglyphic Being, as well as wholly obscure material unlikely to have been heard before.


"The music contained within is a willfully diverse collection of music that I hope you'll find pleasing to your ears. Much like a bowl of goulash, not all the ingredients might be to your liking. It is undeniably more rustic roadside tavern than refined dining but I hope you already trust me behind the pots and pans. I have been spoilt for choice by the many fine ingredients available to me and have become somewhat blinded in compiling the final tracklist. However, the end result has now been tested on my nearest and dearest to approval. I present to you, my own special "Paradise Goulash" Prins Thomas

The guys at Pole Jam Vinyl have spent most of the last year involved in an undying quest to seek out new, exciting music.
They would neither be stopped by the Russian tundras nor the deserts of Australia in their search.Funnily enough, it was actually down-under they discovered Sydney based duo 'Falqo' with their brilliantly chilled and melodic number Across The Sea'.Then, it really was 'across the sea' they went, all the way to the Ukraine, picking up Sasha Anastasov's laidback, groovy smasher 'Sea For Two'. Next up was a much shorter trip to Moscow to collect Gayana, a band very much on the rise whose 'Since The Night' has been perfectly reinterpreted by Pole Jam's very own St. Petersburg based all-stars KLar&PF. Pioneerball is the solo project of Tesla Boy's lead guitarist who makes his second appearance on Pole Jam Vinyl. This time Pioneerball contributes the stunning opening track 'Deltaplane', a track influenced by obscure Russian cinematic soundtracks. It's combined perfectly with a compelling disco groove, jazzy melodies and organic strings that will make your heart melt. Back home, with the search having come to a successful conclusion, the Pole Jam Vinyl boys celebrated with a pint - or two !

Munich pair Jorkes continue to build a nice head of steam with a third new single. Entitled 'Mindemania', it comes once more on the small but well formed Freeride Millenium label with a great remix from Nikkname. Little is known about Jorkes other than they have a magpie approach to sound: anything goes with them, taking cues from a wide musical sphere but always distilling them into their own unique offerings. Their last release was a sumptuous slo-mo affair that got played and dance to far and wide and this new cut is just as likely to standout from the crowd. Say the pair of the release, "this is a journey through the night. Through everything that keeps us moving." The scintillating single is the sort of thing to slowly sweep you off your feet with its skyward synths extending out from broody drums. Dreamy yet propulsive, it takes you amongst the clouds before falling apart with gentle percussive hits and tumbling keys. Freeform and loose, it is fresh sounding indeed. The Lovegasm Version "adds the erotica to your night you were praying for" according to those behind it, and they are not wrong. It is a more beat driven affair with drifting vocal sounds bringing a certain steaminess to the groove. Finally you are invited to surrender yourself to ambient magician Nikkname and his interpretation of how deep a journey can go. Over eight minutes he embeds you at the centre of spiralling pads, with harmonic bell sounds and dark cosmic energies stretching out in all directions. It's a thoroughly absorbing affair, to be sure. Thanks for purchasing a real copy!

Roe Deers is a Lithuanian-based audio-visual project led by Liudas and Oskaras, two besties, often mistaken for brot-hers. We welcome Roe Deers to the Omnidisc family. With their Rush EP. It's an impressive debut, built around metallic percussion hits, chugging post-punk attitude, tipsy textures and the sound of broken cuckoo clocks.
'Rush' is a throbbing dance-floor excursion blessed with an otherworldly atmosphere. It's the musical equivalent of fin-ding a wormhole round the back of a sprawling industrial estate, and then stepping inside to have a look around.
Easing out the EP's post-punk and industrial elements whilst adding a heady air of horror-influenced late night mysticism. Breathe in the rarefied air, and then run for your life.

House music, nightlife entertainment and DJ/Producer virtuoso Louie Vega has proven over and over again that he's a master chemist in the studio. His latest release is an uptempo and speaker-knocking remix of Funkadelic's 'Ain't That Funkin' Kind of Hard on You' (produced by George Clinton and & G Koop) from the album 'First Ya Gotta Shake the Gate'.
The original version is nothing short of a classic, but it's as if the song had never been invited to a Louie Vega post-midnight global extravaganza. Was the song not aware that spellbound dancing and high BPMs were the standard for House Music Normally, such a blaring disregard for nightlife decorum would relegate a song to the pits of sonic hell, but we're talking about George Clinton here!The original opens up with a G-funk groove that screams Westside and lowriders. The listener is then blessed with Clinton as he adds his sage, soulful and pimpadelic vocals, complemented by Funkadelic singers asking him about the pains of the funk. The semblance of a beat that could drive the dancefloor into the morning hours is there, but in no way has it blossomed into its full glory. Enter Louie Vega.
His remix immediately greets listeners with a decadent spread of instrumentation and chutzpah. The original song's DNA populates the first thirty seconds of the remix but then an explosion takes place and the song assumes a new identity. The transcendent experience is akin to taking the elevator to a rooftop party and once the doors open- boom! The remix begs you to dance, the G-funk groove is now in your face instead of being laidback and percussion takes a front seat to take you away. The song is alive, there's no other way to describe it.
Be sure to buy your vinyl at an outlet near you! the Louie Vega remix of Funkadelic's 'Ain't That Funkin' Kind of Hard on You' on Vega Records!

A bitter-sweet, feel good song for late summer, 'She's So Untouchable' is the new track from Tel-Avi's Garden City Movement, backed with remixes by Psychemagik, Seven Davis Jr, Moscoman and a 12' edit by the band themselves.
The Garden City Movement trio of Joe, Roi and Johnny produce a blend of sounds drawn from their diverse cultural worlds, ranging from sweet hypnotic beats to bass heavy tracks to horizontally aligned vibes.When we were asked to tag the new song we placed it under "Emotional Balerica", is this even a thing It is now. As a band who tours around the world all the time it's quite hard to find time to sit in the studio and work like we used to. We try to keep it up through our journey around the world; so if its lakes in Estonia, markets from India or a cabin in the middle of nowhere - we're there sampling and recording the vibe. We can make you feel again- Garden City Movemen Since surfacing at the close of 2013 with their breakout track 'Move On', Garden City Movement have released their 'Entertainment' and 'Bengali Cinema' EPs, the 'Modern West' 12' in collaboration with The Vinyl Factory, climbed the Hype Machine Popular Chart with multiple singles, opened for Bonobo, Caribou, Alt-J and played live all over the world. The band's music video for single 'Move On' received a nomination for Best Music Video at the LA Film Festival and won 'Best Video of The Year' at the MTV Israel Music Awards. They are currently recording their debut album, set for release in 2017.

Impressive and versatile House music 4 tracker for every situation on the floor.The 'To Be Overmodest EP' is an outstanding performance by Jan Ketel & Siggatunez completed by a highly recommended remix from London-based Harry Wolfman

After a three year hiatus Night Sweats Music artist System Status is back with his first outing for People Must Jam.
The four-track Pale & Crazy EP sees a return to the experimental uptempo sounds of UK producer Dave Rendle.The mind behind System Status and The Detroit Urban Gardening Ensemble, Dave's music on Untracked, Out Here Audio, Horn Wax and Stupid Human has caught the attention of global tastemakers such as Gilles Peterson, Phil Asher, Ashley Beedle, Alex Nut and Ross Allen as well as receiving the remix treatment from another previous PMJ artist - Inkswel.The record kicks off with the title track which is a perfect representation of Dave's music style: loose rhythms, rising pads, little quirky vocal snatches, deep chords and fantastic funky squiggly synth work. Great vibes all round! Pale and Crazy is inspired by either; one of Dave's friend's now ex girlfriend or his own ghostly complexion!
Jiran Jaran - born out of a conversation that started on the dance floor at the Worldwide Festival, the question what would a half Iranian and half Japanese musical collaboration call themselves Jiran Jaran was born! Henry Wu was highly influential on this one.
Janice was a late addition to the record and it is probably our favourite. Using some of the musical teachings of a well known Antipodean musician, Dave uses everything he learnt to create a truly amazing track with just enough chord progressions and melodies to make the noodleiest of Jazz musicians smile.
The warm tones of his Arp Axxe shining through. We are hoping Gilles Peterson and Floating Points may get on this one.
Back of the Yards is another special cut - the oldest one on the ep. A Mr Fingers inspired bass sound with more Chicago and French/Canadian influences...interesting Check it out!
We are really excited to have been able to share this with everyone. Like all of our records - pressed on heavy duty 180gm vinyl. We hope you like it.

Shalamar - Take that to the bank and Change - Hard Times Edits plus bonus original beats.

A special DJ double pack from Emotional Rescue brings together a collection of Razormaid remixes, plus unreleased originals, of two projects from Georg Kajanus, the founder of 70s pop group, Sailor and 80s synth poppers, DATA. With a career spanning late 60s psychedelic folk-rock in Eclection, through to chart success as a member of 70s pop group, Sailor, before embracing the synthesised sound of early 80s New Wave and Synth Pop via the excellent DATA, Georg Kajunas music has covered a lot of ground. Therefore, it should be no surprise that as DATA became established he was pushing the electronic pop sound in a new direction, mixing with it an interest in middle-eastern music obtained from time spent travelling there during his youth. Forming both Fatima and also, And The Mamluks as two separate but joined entities to push this musical vision, these projects saw a number of songs created, but ultimately never released, that utilised the growing interest in World music mixed with a dance floor sensibility. At the same time, the success of DATA had spread across the Atlantic to the US club scene where literally hundreds of clubs were embracing the new European electronic sounds. Out of this scene came a number of re-edit and remix specialists, of which San Francisco's Razormaid were predominant. Taking 80s pop to industrial dance songs and extending them officially or often unofficially, their reworks have since become highly sought after. While sadly both Fatima and And The Mamluks never acheived official releases, the remixes done by Joseph Wyatt and his partner, Art Maharg, while on a trip to Europe, did appear on their own Razormaid label in the mid-80s. Here then for the first time are those remixes, plus the never heard before unreleased originals -remastered and released especially in a DJ style double pack for some proper late night megamixing.

LeonxLeon is Red Laser's man in Paris & an integral member of the infamous Les Yeux Orange collective.
After dropping several tracks for the collectable Red Laser EPs LeonxLeon exports four monster jams melding metallic disco with slo-mo italo & breezy electro-funk.
'Beefcake' comes up with electroid percussive beats & stabbing synths before settling into a tightly wound groove punctuated by boogie-esque trims & details. The tempo is dropped down for 'I Am After All'. A growling bass bumps up against Italo-noir keys providing a deeply satisfying nugget of chuggers paradise.
'My Solar Brass' skips around the floor working an uplifting groove equally suitable for both sunset & sunrise.
Finally 'The Train Tracks', included on the hard to find Red Laser EP5, is remixed by LeonxLeon's Parisian comrade Al Dente.
The original is worked up into a higher pitch & brightened, finding new emotions amongst the highly pumped elements.
The release is limited to 180 copies. Hand-stamped labels in neon colours & in textured grey card sleeves.

Fab 5 Freddy on creating 'The Balance': 'I liked the way this idea organically developed and I began to see my involvement as a sort of art performance piece. The track reminded me of cool dance records that downtown NY DJ's played back then in the 80's at places like The Mudd Club, The Garage, Area, Danceteria and Nells where I hung out so I put myself in that mindset when working on my lyrics for this song.'

Common Edit makes a thunderous return with their 10th release and to celebrate, they're going big! 5 A whole extra 5 inches to be exact, extended cuts to keep the party going !

Dane hands over a familiar giant with I Want More' and Eddie ends the trip with his psychedelic guarantee in his endearingly titled 'One For Dane'. No stamps this time, Dane's wrists need a break but no expense was spared in this deluxe offering.As usual, copies given away at the release party in Edmonton, Canada at "The Common"

Jacktone Records is pleased to announce our latest release: a vinyl EP titled Channel from rising house producer, Loren Steele
The EP from San Francisco-based Steele is comprised of four original tracks designed for the dancefloor, plus a sprawling psychedelic remix from Mathematics/100% Silk veteran, Roche.

The clean production and energetic structure of the originals, featuring perfectly-placed pads, stabs and filters washing over propulsive basslines and percussion locks in a warm yet hands-in-the-air vibe. The Roche remix of Swimma draws out the groove and adds some of that San Francisco psychedelic fog. The tracks were recorded live in single takes with little post production processing, giving them a kinetic feel that can't be reproduced.


Channel was produced with creative feedback from both Cherushii and Nackt, whom were lost in the Oakland fire. The EP is released in their memory.


Loren Steele is a San Francisco-based producer and multi-instrumentalist. As a bassist, DJ and a solo live PA artist, he has performed at Bay Area institutions, Haceteria, OK Hole, Psychic Friends, Run the Length of your Wildness, Space Gallery, Public Works, and Underground SF.

Late night dweller Todd Modes can be found deejaying around Detroit playing anything from offbeat ambient grooves to spaced out Disco jams.
He released the Todd Modes / Bobby Dolo EP on the cult underground label M1 Sessions, and as Cosmic Handshakes with Dial 81 they put out an EP called 'The Delicate Details'.

After a few drinks they invited them back to the studio and the vocals were set. Put on your jean jacket slip on your leather boots and ready yourself for a night thrill ride.

OKINAWA DELAYS FEAT. SATOKO ISHIMINE - NARIYAMA AYAGU Claremont 56 / Limited-edition 10' single with obi strip
Claremont 56 has always had close links with Japan's vibrant music scene, with founder
Paul 'Mudd' Murphy making annual trips for DJing and live performances. It's perhaps
unsurprising, then, that the label's latest limited-edition vinyl release comes from Japanes
outft Okinawa Delays, a project founded by producer, DJ and long-time friend of the labe
Takeo.
Some of you may already be familiar with Okinawa Delays thanks to 2016's Hana, a cove
of a popular 1995 J-pop hit featuring original vocalist Satoko Ishimine. The singer is a we
known performer in her native Japan, having released a number of acclaimed records on
Toshiba EMI throughout the 1990s.
Ishimine's breathtakingly beautiful vocals come to the fore on 'Nariyma Ayagu', Okinawa
Delays' frst single for Claremont 56. On his spellbinding remix, regular Claremont 56
contributor Phil Mison wraps Ishime's haunting vocals around dreamy, drifting synthesize
and electric piano chords, glistening acoustic guitars, and sparkling, sunrise-friendly
electronics.
Even by the Balearic maestro's usual high standards, Mison's remix is stunning. It's
accompanied by a vocal-free, delay-laden dub for those who want to revel in his poignan
mood-enhancing production.
On the fip, and on Murphy's suggestion, Ishimine re-joins Okinawa Delays for a cover of
Kamiko Kasai's popular 1977 Japanese disco cut 'Vibration'. Breezier, looser and notabl
sunnier than Kasai's version, the Okinawa Delays interpretation moves further towards jaz
funk whilst retaining the original's groovy positivity. With Ishimine providing another stellar
vocal performance, Takeo's assembled band delivers the goods, and then some.
Claremont 56 will release Nariyama Ayagu in April 2017. Only 324 (pressing came in a bi
short!) copies of the 10' single will be available worldwide.
Limited edition 10', numbered to 350 (only 324 pressed)
