radioactive man: -dub has always been a major influence in my music, mainly roots a la king tubby, marley, lee scratch, king jammy etc. i used to religiously tune into the manasseh show on kiss fm on saturday nights after coldcut, that introduced me to the massive amount of roots reggae and dub that was made in the 70s. i always loved the fact there was two versions, a vocal and a dub, which was always played in that order... the original remix music i guess...

dnaut is a brand new label launching with an ep from the mysterious collective mdec - music dance every chance. the first track *the treasure* is a spangled fusion of synths that variously rasp to shine, while the percussions lend a rough feel. the rubbery drums and bass line of *riz jungle* harks back to old school chicago. *hero* is a predatory, creeping and crawling house grove with a whispered voice to add yet more intrigue. *desire* featuring hayley blackman is a little more playful- rooted drums underpin elastic, swaggering percussive lines and a little disco dazzle is hiding in the subtle synth patterns. *glisten feathers* feat billy love closes the ep heartfelt style with a breathy male vocal. shimmering synths, lingering pads and tinkling pianos add color to the killer vocal.

nelistening back, ‘interlude’ will feel like the perfect opening to ‘skylax’. a jazzy encore crawls in, morphing into a skippy hip-hop instrumental with jason’s signature flourishes all over it. aptly named as it is, this is the breathing space between whatever came before in your day, and the eleven deep house gems that are to follow. speaking of, ‘the love’ will have you gripped from the first bar. it glides the listener in, then subtly drops that signature, tightly-tuned bassline of jason’s and continues onto soulful vocals from there. ‘old dayz’ touches on a bit of a nostalgic note. the spoken vox cuts harken back to 90s hip-hop joints, playing over a looped latin sample-led beat. from there, ‘rawkicks 2’ shows jason’s rough and ready sampling style in action. a seemingly simple track, but one which has that special something which guarantees to keep people on the floor moving for its duration. ‘cut b’ contrasts this nicely, being a much cleaner production with tight drum programming and synth work. that said, it still has the classic jg atmosphere we love. closing out the first half of the album, ‘definition’ slows the pace ever so slightly, with its eternal pad structure that builds up the track’s momentum into something very mellow and deep.bringing in the second half of ‘skylax’, ‘john blue’ takes things back a notch further. a deeper tune, yet one that shows off an uncharacteristically punchy bass hit from jason. ‘last night’ is a track more reminiscent of jason’s first lost cuts ep on wax classic, sounding as if it had been freshly taken off an old tape with its sample-led beat and background hiss. the last four tracks of the album see a return to the ‘mastercuts’ and ‘lovedits’ series which fans will recognize from the ‘lost cuts’ records, with ‘lovedits 7’ and ‘mastercut 5’ respectively. the former is a laid back female vocal edit with the entire suite of signature jg touches while the latter is a garage house hit more crafted for the club. ‘bb’ brings the album to a close, twisting a disco/funksample over a pallet of drums and effects for the near six-minute duration of the track.all in all, this is the perfect follow up to jason’s debut album ‘313.4.ever’, with tracks for both the club and home listening. if you happened to miss the first album back in 2012, don’t forget that now you have the chance to grab it in a special double pack with ‘skylax’ on cd!so, needless to say, this timeless record is a must purchase for all collectors and djs out there

for the next release we have set the bpm slower, we offer you the 1st collaboration between jaw, gaffy & varoslav, all good friends for years. its a pleasure to deliver such a superb original track made of vintage warm analog sounds surrounded by the mystical vocals by jaw. and there was something interesting to say about the parts of the track... we have invited some friends and producers from totally different places but one they all have in common is their passion for the warm sound. edward (from white-aim) who just delivered some of the most beautiful tracks & remixes this year so far and the lovely new comers from netherlands: times are ruff who has as their name indicates has a very personal touch and ruff sound.

earlier on this year andy stott found himself playing on the same bill as new york heavy metal hoarders batillus. despite operating in completely different spheres, batillus had been playing luxury problems, stotts most recent album, on their tourbus and suggested a remix. the result is pressed up on this one-sided 12inch, a deadly reduction that pitches the original down into the abyss. andy stott will be back in 2014 with new material.

no introduction is really needed for the massive balearic anthem *jibaro*. elkin & nelsons scorching latin disco classic hit big throughout spain, south america and nycs underground club scene in 1979 when this now rare and hard-to-find disco 12 inch version originally dropped, but it gained its real cult status after being picked up and championed up by the likes of rampling, oakenfold et al who who fell in love it after hearing it played by the legendary dj afredo at ibizas amnesia club. instantly recognisable and supremely dancable, this is one of the true heavyweights of the balearic scene - and a must have for any serious record collection.

in the long line of belgian talent finding a home on wph (think san soda, lemakuhlar, metrobox, locked groove, …) we are pretty sure that kiani & his legion (aka thomas neyens) will claim his rightful place within a couple releases. because just like the other family members kiani has his very own distinct sound. totally kiani and also totally wph. kiani & his legion should have already caught your attention with his free *records & culture* vinyl in wphs v.i.p. series and he was also responsible for *legions of the east* on the recent wph summer special 2013. being a vinyl lover himself it seemed fitting that we release his full e.p. debut on vinyl only (grey coloured & marbled), containing four tracks that will show you the full spectrum of his house music universe. the key words in that universe are melody, breakdowns, surprise and emotion. it is pointless to describe the tracks one by one, simply listen, enjoy and most of all…dance!

review: japans 9dw release their first track for is it balearic..? right on is a super chilled loopy slo mo disco gem. touches of soft acid and boogie bassline make this a certain for the more discerning dancefloor. the mushrooms project remix creates an ever growing tribal dubby trip with what sounds like a jews harp thrown in for good measure. mesmerising. the b side features a track that has been an iib favourite for a couple of years since it was heard live in loop tokyo. this slowave almost out of sync techy chugger is not like anything else. evolving with analogue synths and stabs to become a heads downs stomper. international man of mystery man power adds man power to the track and creates a slightly darker journey into synth land

love fever, the infamous and erogenous east london discotheque and record label returns with some late night works in the form of ron jason and kim ann foxman s the dream project ep . after ron jason s paradise garage evoking and much played paradise lost (with love fever regular larry heard remixes) caught the ear of label bosses alex & andy last year with its depth and sincerity, ron was tracked down, discovered as italy s enigma simoncino and connected with brooklyn s fly girl and modernist diva kim ann foxman to explore possibilities in house.

an entirely new label with fresh artists from any direction. both tracks compiled on this release are deep and spheric in their mood, similar in style, but rather different and special in their shapes of individuality. the a-side delivers a slightly straight and powerful track from alma. carried by soft moog-basses and playful spheric breaks in addition to an authentic summer groove it is definitely suitable to create open-air feeling - a glistening interpretation of a green morning. gebby dibson contributed an emotional and slow house production to the b-side of this release. in so doing, they patterned pretty versatile varieties of electronic styles. in this case its hard to classify, but joyful to listen to… just beautiful.
