pressed on the classic lt records centres. nice archive traxx vol. 1 is a lesson in raw. hissing house from the concrete resident and one of france’s finest new talents.
stronger than me has been bothering mixes & radio for a good year now and takes pride of place on the a1. skipped snares. wailing sax and clear vocal hits slot together around an ny house core. you don’t really want me heats up the production just that bit more on the grill and adds in some serious chi-town acidic flavour. 303’s running riot from the midway.
on the b. raw thoughts takes a similarly blown-out production sensibility and drives it straight into laid-back electro territory. elements of boogie spliced with sultry synth soloing and glacial pad ripples. ice cream parlour chill jams.
rounding out the ep are acid city - a soulful deep house number overrun with grumpy. growling acid lines - and hyper beat-snippet you do - a breaks-y beat track showcasing the other side of sweely’s enormous talent. proper dredgin’ beats from the raw!

for us (rubadub that is). hank jackson has been behind some of the most inventive techno to have left nyc in recent years. releasing music on his compadre anthony naples label. proibito and mister saturday night. if you re after a twisted nyc take on classic chain reaction and monolake. then this is strongly tipped.

live saxophone provided courtesy of caspar sutton-jones kicks off the a side taking us on a boogie expedition channeling the early 90s french filter house boom. the contrasting b side builds soothingly to that e-come up moment with some fat 2nd-gen detroit bass vibes to pull us out again.
two jovonn remixes finish the record as the legendary nyc producer dishes out two takes on the a side. revival. the a2 provides us a dance floor thumper stacked with jovonn’s signature deepness and 2-step shuffles whilst the b2 treats us with the perfect tool to build up to another drop frenzy in the dance.

code 718 aka iconic nyc dj danny tenaglia dropped this e2-e4 riffing classic back in the mists of 1992. manuel göttsching s original track would have been a staple of nyc clubs back then and would have featured in the warm up sets of jocks like tenaglia who favoured the longer. deeper sets as well as on the play-lists of institutional night-spots such as the loft and the garage. the track s influence on a whole era of dj s and producers that followed is immeasurable and across 3 sublime mixes tenaglia distills the magic of the original into something totally nyc and club-friendly without losing any of the göttsching magic. even managing to sprinkle a little grace jones in the mix with her fabulous i floated on a cloud vocal sample liberally applied. equinox takes us on a trip that is emotive. uplifting and warm. this is how house music is meant to sound. respectfully steeped in what preceded it yet moving forward in a fresh direction. another example of how on the money strictly rhythm were in their early days. classic after classic rolled out of the labels offices and us. the record buying legions. were / are better off for it! this one s a tasty 2017 reissue and remaster. featuring all 3 mixes. unedited. as per the original release way back when. do not sleep.

following on from the ability ii pressure re-release. major problems and compassion cuts present another in-house favourite from their vaults: the sublime garage/rnb earworm dont tell me (how love should feel) by 2-bmw. a tony humphries/zanzibar favourite. the sole release on life of luxury in 1990 was new jersey producer larry p rauson’s first cut. and never saw a full release. it’s presented with three remarkable dubs from the mysterious man in bed. two of which in turn are flipped by compassion crew and. completing the circle. by larry himself. full colour cover with matt finish. restored and mastered by thomas p heckmann at trope. cut by andreas kauffelt at schnittstelle. artwork by mel keane. larry on dont tell me: tony played the song at zanzibar (on a) saturday night. that sunday morning my phone was blowing up... that weekend gave me the moment of my career. i was an engineer at the local cable company. listening to tony humphries on the radio. not expecting it. tony humphries played my record on his show... i did not last much longer at that job.

all the beats. tracks. and harmonies that vega records release have a story behind them. “union dance (louie vega remix) - dj clock featuring madame-x’s” begins where most great things do as far as we are concerned.... under a mirror ball in a dark club! one night. (well really early morning to be honest) while louie vega was vibbing in the booth. listening to timmy regisford work it out for a packed nyc dance floor a wild beat caught his ear. as louie looked over and saw the crowd confirm exactly what he felt he turned to timmy with a smile and said “that beat is hot. let me get that”. and from that moment union dance’s story began with louie vega.

dj steaw returns this september with a fresh ep on kerri chandler’s madhouse records entitled ‘bel air’. featuring three original productions available via a limited vinyl pressing & digital outlets.

trained multi-genre dancer. dj. producer. mc and pure force of energy: meet william djoko. the latest talent from one of house music s foremost cities. amsterdam. djoko s effervescent performances and eclectic musical melange of disco. tech. afro. leftfield and straight up house first earned him a name in his native stomping grounds at places like trouw and are now propelling him onto the international dj circuit with slots at london s printworks and elrow town. circoloco in ibiza and concrete in paris among others. cutting his production teeth in the late zeros on amsterdam imprint thirtyonetwenty. william has gone on to release tracks on rush hour. mobilee. tuskegee and. most notably. tom trago s voyage direct label. as well as delivering remixes for the likes of darius syrossian and anja schneider. omg. william s quirky. colourful debut for strictly features vocals from jazz man camilo and remixes from the original king of new york house. todd terry. the todd terry in house mix is exclusive to the vinyl release.

finally a fresh mcde is announced! new one from long time deep house/broken producer. pablo valentino... . its been four years since label co-founder pablo valentino became a daddy. and almost as old is the idea of him releasing a record on our imprint. so what makes more sense than to dedicate this record to hugo-joão. his son? on -my son s smile- we can hear a recording of hugo-joão s laughter over a mellow. summery house track that has been a big favorite of danilo over the years. with a little help from lyon producer patchworks. who played bass on the track. valentino pulls off one of his most sophisticated productions yet.
