Jennifer Touch - a name that most likely will ring various bells in the ears of those who have been monitoring the recent proceedings within the Riotvan camp. Just remember her vocal refinement of the New World EP and her (still newsworthy) contribution to the - Familiar Faces No.1' label compilation. After a collaborative EP with Keinemusik's own Adam Port, released on Pets Recordings, her time has come for an ultimate declaration of independence.

Acclaimed Russian producer, DJ and live musician Kito Jempere is back with a stunning second album, this time on Italian label Hell Yeah. Entitled Sea Monster and due for release in early 2017, the nine track album is a fantastic fusion of live instrumentation and electronic production.

Kito Jempere is a musical polymath. The Russian artist, producer, multi-instrumentalist and band leader has been involved in many projects over the last ten years plus. These range from rock to acid jazz to electronic bands and often call upon a rotating cast of other members who are all equally talented.

From playing in small bars to headlining big shows for thousands of people in Saint Petersburg, he has put out a number of albums and singles on labels like Freerange, Room With A View and Hell Yeah and DJs around Europe.

Jempere plays live as the Kito Jempere Band, and here he calls upon his bandmates for their many skills to lend the album a richly musical feel.

Mixed and co-produced by band member Roman Urazov, the album features Artemiy Gunbin aka Noteless, the voice of the Kito Jempere Band and front man of his own rock band Videatape, as well as Ruslan Gadzhimuradov, a long time drummer on many projects, plus Matvey Averin, the bassist but also co-producer for cult group Manizha and finally Sergey Lipsky who here plays guitar and is also half of Simple Symmetry as well as having played for Kito's other project Saint Petersburg Disco Spin Club group.

Sea Monster kicks off with Lifetime Theme, a heavenly groove with loose drums and percussion and gorgeous keys. Form there, Artemiy Gunbin's ethereal and crystal clear vocals take centre stage amongst balearic guitars on album single 'Ampa', and then 'To Talk' is a deeper cut with bumpy drums, long tailed pads and shiny synths all making for a curious and whimsical atmosphere.

'Grid Cells' is a lush instrumental track with clever revel and echo adding a sense of grandeur to the freeform jazz drums and frazzled synths, 'Uohha' is as sunny and laid back as an afternoon on the beach and 'Puzzled' then layers up scuzzy basslines, popping hits and suspenseful synths into something smooth and seductive.

The final third of the album closes out with blissful guitar licks, lazy broken beats and brilliant drum playing that all have you wishing it was summer again.

This is an album with elements of jazz, house, disco, balearic and many more sounds all smoothly blended into one coherent and captivating album full of soul and musical skill.

Forthcoming Director’s Cut of Kito Jempere’s Sea Monster album on Hell Yeah is filled with gems, and two of them are now getting pressed up on a limited edition run of only 100 7”s.

It will be a special package mastered and cut by Andreas at Schnitstelle, hand written and hand numbered by Andrea Amaducci and including a double sticker in a high quality plastic sleeve.

Russian master Kito Jempere dazzles again with “Uohha!”, which swaggers on lazy drums with expressive vocals conveying a sense of carefree emotion.

“To Marvin” is then a jazzed up number, with keys and trumpets, twisted synths and loose drums all getting you up on your toes.

This is a sure-fire secret weapon that you need in your collection.

"Emotional Response continues the second SchleiBen series with a pan-ocean exploration of meditative spiritualism meets psychedelic ambience. The 2nd of the 4 part series expands with the inclusive offerings from LA's Matthewdavid and London's HOLOVR for a cyclical journey of altered consciousness against lush 303-tinged harmonics. First, Matthewdavid provides a 20-minute live recording to showcase his "meditation with music". Beat maker, producer, label owner, radio host and now new age explorer, Matthew David McQueen has been a fixture of the City Of Angles music scene for over a decade. However, it was his association with Tropical Hi-Fi (SchleiBen 3) that first attracted the label's attention to dig deeper in to his developing sound.
As Leaving Records founder he has a prominent role is shaping the cities sound that has seen him work with Sun Araw, Laraaji and a myriad of the label's roster. Here performing in most his recent incarnation, Matthewdavid's Mindflight - having just released the wonderful Trust The Guide And Glide double album opus - is Sonos. Recorded live at Dublab Radio's "Tonalism" event at Sonos Studios, the piece utilises Critter & Guitari Pocket Piano, Hulusi Flute and Ableton Live to create movement, fade and sequence. A looping realisation, music inside music, thresholds expanded, connecting the centre, a place, origin, a soul that allows a devout expression to exude and find mediation in sound. This is music to get lost and at the same, get found in.
Set against these endless arp-loops, is HOLOVR, raising a more focused consciousness that is a perfect counterpoint. Having already appeared on the label via his recent, deep, eloquent remix of Sad City, as well as releasing with label favourites Opal Tapes, Further Records and Firecracker, the desire to work with another uniquely individual producer has been in place for several years. Recorded using only hardware; 303 lines, soft pads, arpeggio synths and Roland percussion capture a snapshot of time in a natural, in-the-moment negotiation of these different elements, giving trademark, open, drifting loops that let the listener within, while texture and tone engage, activating harmonic resonances almost as a drone. This progressive disintegration, tuning in and dropping out of musical spheres envelops while hinting at aphex influences and (artificial) intelligence. SchleiBen shifts, expanding, growing, pulsating. Keep the faith and (un)listen.

UK artists Reset Robot, Jon Gurd and Tom Powell collaborate again on their free-form
hybrid electronica project- 'Mister Woo'.
Following a series of under-the-radar EPs, 'Beyond Light' is the trio's debut album and most experimental and eclectic work so far.
Mister Woo recorded 'Beyond Light' in their Portsmouth studio over three weeks in 2016, setting themselves to writing and recording tracks on-the fly and building an album around one-take, improvised performances. Free to take its own form and direction from the outset, the result is a varied, unpredictable, high-energy record that pushes Mister Woo's distinct brand of
electronica into new and unexplored places.

"This release is 3xLP and it's individually 1000 hand-numbered limited edition. The first 200 copies are pressed on BLUE TRANSPARENT vinyls (AR012).

New York's JKriv returns with his outfit The Disco Machine to release another big-hitting track on 100% original Disco label File Under Disco.'Make It Hot' - which he released on the imprint a couple of years back and then found its way into the sets of top disco jockeys all around the globe including Rahaan, Horse Meat Disco, Idjut Boys and Greg Wilson - has been called a future Disco classic in the making.The new single, 'Can't Give it up', again features the amazing vocal talents of Adeline Michele from Escort and picks up the beat right where 'Make It Hot' left off.

Disco House slammers.

Repress

Finally the official remastered reissue of one of the rarest and sought after italo-disco record from early 80's. You'll be hard pushed to hear anything like this ever again... this is an epic out there electronic production that's one of a kind. In the same period of other italo-disco classics like REM, STOPP, Klein & MBO, GANG previously reissued by Best Italy, they representing the roots of chicago sound played by the pioneers like Ron Hardy!

Proving a saviour in these testing times, Bollywave supply a four-track feast of Bollywood edit delights. Something to stick a smile on your face and get those dormant limbs moving, it’s a feel-good blowout of fragrant firepower.

On Animals Dancing's eighth disc, Dazion aka Cris Kuhlen lets rip with three psychoactive, percussion-laden mind benders for all good dance floors.

A tweaked vocoder mantra speaks in tongues across interlaced layers of live percussion on 'Yu Go Bah' before sirens ring in the distant chants.

Blood Moon takes the marching band down to the basement, fusing more twisted percussion with electro squelch to soundtrack the sweat rain down from the heavens.

'The Chant Of Celebrational Beings' beckons in a sunrise as the last inklings of serotonin jerk a tear to your eye.

Deetron’s debut EP for Running Back is an amalgam of some of the key virtues of both parties involved: the evocative and glorious power of the early days of rave (see cover art for further reference), emotional house, melodious techno, a beatless beauty and a firmly polished dance floor. Over the years, the Swiss producer has proven that his skill set and philosophy (underpinned by his mastery of the DJ trade) is perfect for such a mixture.
The EPs title track is the result of an extensive research in quiet storm soul records and their influence on traditional house music. „T-Symmetry“ and „TXT“ make extensive use of Roland’s classic JX-8P synthesizer with very different outcomes and the certainty that the idea trumps the tools. Euphoric UK breakbeat pianos and Detroit techno soul can be made with the same mind and machine as well as in any time or place. A record full of fun, finesse and fantasy. Deetron, we salute you!

Following previous sold out instalments from Yadava, EVM128 & James Rudie, Partner Music, High Praise bossman Hugo Mari steps up to the plate for the 5th instalment of the label’s lauded edits series. Two action-packed, vinyl-only, bombs set for dancefloor detonation, the A-Side 'Tired Of Sitting Down' channels the past year's sedentary frustrations into a joyous invitation back to the club, whereas on the flip 'Acid Locomotive' is an intense, driving number, complete with uplifting fanfares and (as the title suggests) a little acid-tinged addition. It’s good to be back.

Having steadily honed his soulful sound over the past few years with releases on Heist and Freerange Records, as well as amassing over 2 Million Spotify streams, Hugo has marked himself as one to watch in the UK’s vibrant electronic music landscape. His knack for fusing organic musical elements with driving rhythms and emotive melodies, allows him to craft beautifully uplifting music that works beautifully either at home or on the dance floor, winning support from Jamz Supernova, Tom Ravenscroft, Nemone, Complex, Stamp The Wax, Ransom Note & many more.

It’s an honor to announce the next release on Giorgio Records. We present to you Simon Bennett and his beautiful track ‘I Wanna Tokyo’u’, which is reborn on vinyl again after 37 years!

On top we welcome Marcello Giordani to the Giorgio Records family, who serve us a remix and ‘rhythm track’ to dance forever!

When I first stumbled across mix tapes out of Hamburg's seminal Front Club (with Klaus Stockhausen and Boris Dlugosch at the helm) during the glorious and carefree early days of the popularized internet, there were certain tracks on them that struck a chord and had me rewinding the mp3-player.
In fact there was one specifically, I couldn't stop listening to. The mixture of an infectious bass line, a super sharp snare, "music" and "harmony" vocal snippets, happy claps and synths lines that evoked pictures of a convertible going down a coastline, and - to top it all off - a tribal chant, was irresistible. After some intensive track-id-hunting pre-shazam, I found out that the heaven-sent hymn was Music by an act called Syncbeat. Originally released in 1984 during the craze that was called UK Electro via Street Sounds resp. Streetwave and later licensed to German omnivore Zyx Records. A joint venture between the Electro-Funk mastermind,DJ pioneer and edit maestro Greg Wilson as well as Manchester musicians Martin Jackson & Andy Connell, it is exactly that type of dance track that eludes any classification - as you can see from my description above. Or to cite Greg Wilson himself from one of his essays on the subject of UK electro: "The track that received the best response was "Music" by Syncbeat, which was full of good vibes and could have easily been re-vamped down the line as a House track."
34 years later down the line, and in the wake of mix-cd-compilation by Stockhausen and Dlugosch portraying those divine years at the Front, Music is available again for the second time on this planet. Carrying all three mixes of the original and equipped with an extended Re-Mix, a bonus beat and a tribal reprise all perfectly conceived executed by Boris Dlugosch, this like a dream came true and a welcome addition to the Super Sound Singles series on Running Back

The first Studio Barnhus compilation, Studio Barnhus Volym 1, is coming out at the end of August.

The 19-track release will feature music from the Stockholm label's three founders—Axel Boman, Kornél Kovács, Petter Nordkvist—plus various associates, ranging from local newcomers to superstar friends of the label like DJ Koze, John Talabot and Superpitcher.

It'll be available on triple-pack vinyl, double CD and in all digital formats from August 31st.

Massimiliano Pagliara returns to Live At Robert Johnson with a double release titled Devoid Of Dimension Pt.1 and Pt.2.

Reprise! One Swallow Doesn’t Make A Summer Part 2 is the follow up to a Various Artists sampler for a hypothetical mixtape (still hasn’t been made). This time, the international cast consists of (in order of appearance): Llewellyn, Fred Asquith, John Noseda and Lipelis X AC. The plot: Dance music in its broadest and loosest form and at its best without too many sub-genre flags. „Synergy Bar“ by Llewellyn is the starting point. An ode to a well-known place in Berlin, it was conceived there as well as floor-tested by DJ GJ and oozes that special Sunday sweat from every single pore. Fittingly, „Please Hold The Line“ by Yogtze follows next. Remixed by Fred Asquith purely because he thought he had too, it puts party make-up on the originals pretty face. Flip around for John Noseda’s power house trip „Spiral Galaxy“. Imagine a New Romantic cover band being mangled by an Acid House (the philosophy, not the 303) DJ. Last but not least, „Central Store“ by Lipelis X AC closes this chapter, with some bittersweet heartbreak rave in very slow motion. Cry, dance, cry some more, but don’t stop dancing!

Dynamic Dublin-duo Boots & Kats get given the keys to the House of Disco channelling an Italo Disco rave of interplanetary proportions for HOD028. Three pure peak-time pumping Italo warpers, complete with an exquisite Johannes Albert’s Party Talk remix to round off the package.

Fists in the air business in a far-away planet, one where synthesisers rule the lands using colossal kicks and huge snares to enhance the power of their all-encompassing arps that range from rapid fire bass to gargantuan top lines. Johannes Albert then throws in some party chatter and deft sampling to his reworking of ‘Party Talk’ completing this futuristic capsule of interstellar goodness.

It’s the best of that ‘80s Italo sound given a modern take that harnesses Boots & Kats’ unbridled Irish energy.

Unadulterated funk-styled boogie bomb from ’82 by Laurice Hudson, ‘Feel My Love’ is a monster cut whether you’re hearing it for the first time or 50th and with a price tag of upwards of £60 on an original, an officially licensed remastered, reissue was clearly in order.

Infectious basslines, coupled with juicy layers of funk strumming and sensuous vocals from Laurice, co-written by Curtis Hudson, with Pure Energy on production its a classic through and through.

The original, the inspirational, the bombastic, the never bettered, the one.
'Don't make me wait' is all of the above and so much more. Classic to the core. Huge earth shattering record right here.
OK, so the scoop, for the uninitiated is this - the Peech Boys were Larry Levan's group, we're talking early 80's NYC here, 1982 to be precise, around the height of the Paradise Garage as Larry was making the transition from superstar DJ to producer. He brought a sparse, dubbed out, narcotic late night feel to the overall sound of this record. This was a short-lived project, but the influence is still felt today, the Peech Boys DNA is inside the veins of modern dance music, as is Larry's. There is no underestimating what an impact this record had. 7+ minutes of electronic bliss, trailblazing stuff, and don't get us started on the dub. Do yourself a favour, BUY this classic if you don't own it already, you'll keep coming back to it time and time again. Guaranteed. This essential 12" is repressed here in it's original 1979 glory, an essential classic that has stood the test of time for the last 30+ years & is now available again, remastered & repressed for 2017 in conjunction with West End Records, NYC.

Rain & Shine are proud to present, the first official reissue of this sacred slice of funk since it's 1976 release. And with a median price of £228 on Discogs it's about time us mere mortals had the chance of owning it.

Remastered and reissued with the original band members blessing, 'Ain't No Need' has long been a favourite of the some of the most well-respected DJs across the scene, from Floating Points and Sadar Bahar, to Mr Scruff and Theo Parrish - with Theo even releasing a live cover version performed alongside his band on their 2014 tour.

Strictly limited to 1000, never to be repressed - hand numbered, 7 Inch picture sleeve with a dinked centre hole.

Australian-Canadian cult label release their third and final vinyl sampler from their Sun Gaze / Moon Faze compilation series. The cult flies ever closer to the sun with sonic assistance from Peter Power, 84PC, A1st, Thomash,
DJ Grount , Lum & Von Party Feat. Naduve.

We live in a beautiful world, ladies and dudes... cherish it in all it's different forms, love it and don't be afraid. Never forget we're in this together: we are all in one mind.

PETER POWER pulls up the post peyote summer sunrise anthem, a sweet sing-a-long perfect for cult heart-opening exercises and shamanic morning rituals.

Tel Aviv's 84PC, a trio comprised of Malka Tuti's Katzi Kenneth, Asaf Samuel and Naduve, deliver a beautiful piece of sun-kissed guitar prog downtempo. Mellow, melting, mental, magic mushroom music.

A1st drops on A3 with a soaring, beautiful Theme of Sun Memory, an ecstatic journey inward to the radiant heart of the universe.

Cult favourite THOMASH reworks Calando Fumando Palho (released on his 2015 ep) into a hauntingly beautiful lunar version, balancing organics and synthetics like a psychedelic boss.
Japan's DJ Grount steps in to the party with Dolmenzoo, a clap-jacking bell jam that runs up and down the inside of your mind. Label guru VON PARTY calls in NADUVE to charm the psychic serpent on Cobra Kush, a slow-burning tribal trip-out best served with a fat spliff.
Finally, LUM joins the familia with Rosa, a ritual offering to pacha mamma, a gentle tribal call to realignment with our mother, the earth.

London's Midnight Riot are back from the land of the rising sun with round two of the most obscure Japanese boogie and disco jams. They have brought together the finest DJ's and collectors for another installment of unique productions and edits.

Label staples Yam Who Go with a lo-slung boogie funk excursion courtesy of their edit "Mono Drive".

Legendary DJ Daniele Baldelli, who was resident at the infamous Cosmic Club on Lake Garda and pioneer of the 'cosmic' sound, joins forces with Italian maestro DJ Rocca and takes File Under Disco on a journey into outer Disco space.
Famous as an extremely eclectic and open-minded DJ, here Baldelli transports this approach to the production of 'Funkynoizer'.
And in the hands of a master producer like Rocca the result is a track which fuses Dub, Afro, Disco and electronic elements seamlessly into a tasty alternative discoid brew.
Remix action comes from Brasilian duo Selvagem (big fans of Baldelli) whose reputation grows and grows with every spin of each record and every release that passes through their talented hands. Here they dress the original in leopard skin pants and throw into into an all night, outdoor carnival party where anything goes.Next up Pete Herbert & Dicky Trisco take the original on a heads down Disco trip and work it to the bone.
Live driving bass, funky clav and a glorious piano line do a wonky waltz with the the Afro dub essentials of the original.
Finally the man himself DJ Rocca treats us to a very classy Disco-Boogie version that would have rocked legendary parties back in the halcyon days of NYC Disco.

Erik Sumo is one of the most established Hungarian music producers of the last 20 years.
His various acts gained national and international, underground and mainstream success, he scored movies - think of the now cult 'Liza, The Fox Fairy' soundtrack on one of our early 7"s.
His latest album 'Mount Fuji' came out in November 2019, it contains 'Run Into The Wild', an odd yet catchy leftfield floor-filler with an unmistakable mood built of glamorous disco vibes and sinister imaginings from the woods around Fujisan.

On this EP you can hear the previously unreleased disco dub version of the song and 3 remixes taking the original into completely different directions.
Mytron & Ofofo of Multiculti fame chose to go the tribal way by adding some extra percussion and reconstructing the chorus making the track even more dance floor friendly than it was originally.
Oakland based producer E. Live turned the tune into a contemporary boogie burner, while Budabeats staple M.W.D.'s version has an atmosphere that is impossible to describe.

Limited to 400 copies worldwide.

Working his mellow magic on the Growing Bin, Sorcerer entertains your inner child with eight tracks of instrumental west coast pop suitable for dancing, dreaming and surfing a wave or two.
While Basso sat in a Teutonic treehouse, feeding his head with the sounds of the woodland, Dan Judd danced on the sands of San Francisco's Baker Beach. Stretching between them, like the world's longest tin can radio, was the Dream Chimney. This legendary forum, run by Ryan Bishop, better known as The Beat Broker, helped to launch a thousand labels, and the Growing Bin is one of them - all hail the Chim!
Here, Dan, naturally mystic in his Sorcerer guise, satisfies all our sensory needs with a Kinder Surprise of sweet melodies, coastal cool and playful rhythms inspired by his children's earliest responses to music. Following his feelings and avoiding overthinking, he creates open, enticing and accessible cuts; each living and breathing that mellow magic you only get on the West Coast.
'Kids World' kicks into gear with the spheric bass of '2000 Studio', a bouncy embodiment of that spacious San Francisco sound. There's a nod to nu disco but the dreamy dubiness takes the track much deeper, especially as those surf guitars start to detune in the summer heat. The breezy fretwork continues on 'Disco Drums', topping a wriggling groove tailor made for the terrace. Shades of rave refract through a healing crystal at the midpoint, encouraging al fresco dancing from sunrise to sunset. The A3 sees Sorcerer get into the groove of 'Bahia Brothers', rolling that rubberised B-line out of his own Paradise Garage before putting the top down for the carefree Balearic pop of 'Spray Paint.'
The B-side glides into being via the night dubbing grooves of 'Fire Feel', a reverb laden journey though glassy tones, off beat perx and gorgeous chord progressions. Next up, the new wave inspired 'Crunchy' translates Sheffield's daring synth pop into a wide eyed blast of psychedelic house, boosting our mana ahead of the loose limbed and light footed 'First Wave'. Ringing guitars reference Ghanaian highlife, shimmering in the heat haze as Dan funks up the drum kit ready for the broken beat and blissed out energy of sundowning set closer 'Escape Route'.

Spincat Music hits back with a second record, this time bringing 3 well known on charts artists. Funk District, Hotmood and Monsieur Van Pratt join forces with label owners C. Da Afro & J.B. Boogie for a VA that will make the dancefloors fill up in no time!

Picking up right where EP #1 left off, EP #2 kicks things off with a bang. First up is Catz 'N Dogz and Yotam Avni's for 'Blakkat'; a high pace burner ideally suited for dance floors from Panorama Bar to under the LED's of Watergate and every club in-between. The duo return with the 'Bright Version' of 'Afterglow' for the second cut on EP 2 and aptly titled, it pushes an intense, glitter filled ride to it's limits. Embarking onto the B-side, 'O.A. Peas' from heavy hitter Eats Everything & Lord Leopard take a trip down memory lane with a heavily sample based feel good tune that will absolutely demolish dance floors worldwide. Rounding out the EP is a final collaboration between Catz 'N Dogz and Reno Wurzbacher with 'To Ma People' and it's by far the smoothest and most laid back tune of the bundle, but never does it let you rest as a mesmerizing groove and lush atmospherics tell a deep, complex tale of late nights and early mornings.
