lph whites latest is another made­for­the­club sureshot winner from label co­founder and ­owner jacques renault himself. if youve caught one of his sets around the world sometime this year, youve most likely heard the house banger? and consequently gone nuts. its impossible to resist the temptations of the bombastic drums, fat bass, chopped up vocals, and dubby synth hooks included within. a shining example of renault doing what he does best.

lets play house turns its eye back to its home country for its 21st release, a four-track ep by rhythm operator. the record commences with a collaboration between the mysterious producer and a new duo from munich, rhode & brown, called *fionas room*.

time for another successful introduction to the off roster. meet the spirit of chi thanh, a berlin based multi talented beat wizard who brings us an outstanding debut ep. lets play starts out with infectious acoustic guitars that get in groove with a driving yet deep beat and bass combo.

the ep starts with peace in the world, an infectious, assertive stomper that hooks you with a simple keyboard riff and vocal sample. the energy doesnt let up on runnin, though that cut is decidedly deeper and smoother. the flip finds montel turning it back up to 11 with ecstasy, a dramatic club anthem, and get down, a funky, elastic burner that closes the 12inch

lph whites second offering picks up where the first one, by waze & odyssey, left us. that 12inch featured a remix by london-by-way-of southern-california house up-and-comer, urulu, who produced all four of the tracks included on this ep. left coast is an ode to taylor freels home turf, but dont think its all blissed-out balearic burners one might listen to while rolling down a palm tree-lined stretch of the pacific coast highway. every one of the four songs is a cranked-up, high-octane, peak-hour monster

lets play house began the first half of 2013 with a single by label co-founder jacques renault, and now the guys are kicking off the second with three fresh remixes by international heavyweights tom trago, fantastic man (a.k.a. mic newman), and francis inferno orchestra.

lets play houses latest endeavor is a no-nonsense imprint, simply dubbed lph white, which, as the name implies, takes a cue from those mysterious, classic, unmarked dance records of years past.

with tippy toes eponymous debut ep, lph not only puts out its first record by a previously-unreleased artist, but also delves into the world of pure, unadulterated out-of-the-box house music

lphs second release of the spring is also the nyc labels second split 12inch. but instead of featuring a couple of sun-soaked l.a.-based outfits as with cosmic kids and fingerpaints reality on the horizon ep, label heads nik mercer, jacques renault, and james friedman set out to sweden to grab three tracks by m.d.c. (otherwise known as muslim disco club) and name in lights, plus a remix by studio barnhus kornel kovacs.

with reality on the horizon, lets play house continues to prove its not afraid to push the boundaries of house music while simultaneously broadening the spectrum of talent its roster embodies. the ep features four tracks by two los angeles-based outfits who have been around for a few years, primarily as taste-maker djs—cosmic kids and fingerpaint, a.k.a. tyler blake of classix

as with their first various artist compilation ep, lets play house has chosen to grab tracks from a handful of artists both new and old to the label and party.

lets play house begins 2013 much as it did the label itself, with a record by co-owner, brooklyn-based dj/producer jacques renault. unlike lph001, though, which featured a runaway original, lph013 was crafted by jacques on his own. and this is not a track to skip over or sleep on—its the mans first in three years!

lets play house finishes its first full year with its 12th release, which, like the first—runaways indoor pool ep—features one original track and three remixes. the a1 comes courtesy of river & phoenix, a new nom de disque of australias young edits. earlier in 2012, he released his debut ep—castle rock—on editainment, hence the playful moniker. this song, however, is not an edit.

with san laurentinos dreamers & wanders ep, lets play house brings forth a hauntingly beautiful record ideal for the winter ahead—this is music in which to take shelter from lengthening shadows, a warm place in a cold, cold world.

soiree are back with another slice synergy that only these devoted individuals could make. the soiree sound is a gumbo of flavours bonded together with a lets have fun production ethos. max essa and stevie kotey created the soiree project to write quirky yet funky songs which show their love of experimentation.

two originals soaked in spooky, bone-chilling deep house vibes...

deep, thumping after-hours burners, flush with prominent drums and groovy bass lines and sultry vocals

an uplifting, hopeful, and cheery as well as hard-edged, tight, fidgety, and frantic house release.

for their sixth release, lets play house has headed down under to scoop up australias fantastic man, a second identity of dj/producer mic newman, with which the melbourne-based artist explores—and exposes—another side of his musical and stylistic skills. and the four original songs on the its essential ep most definitely mark a bit of a departure from newmans trademark sounds: he has exchanged the thumping, peak-hour, hands-in-the-air chaos and messiness of hits like 2009s >sizzled sally< for a more refined and subtle breed of deep house.

londoner toby tobias has had a rather productive year so far and its with great pleasure that lets play house can claim him as its newest roster member. the paradise lost ep finds the man doing what hes done best since coming out in the early aughts: dropping deep and frothy house with a steely underbelly

expanding a transatlantic connection forged with releases from uk artists the m.e.b. and dead rose music company, the fourth release for lets play house comes from glasgowegian techno heroes naum gabo (jonnie wilkes of optimo and james savage) who inject a bit of motoric stomp to lphs generally housey identity.

brooklyns lets play house keeps building momentum with its second release of 2012. this time, label heads jacques renault, nik mercer, and james friedman have teamed up with a pair of artists shrouded in mystery—the dead rose music company—to put out an ep featuring four original songs that confound definition...

brooklyns own lets play house returns with its first release of the new year: a couple of original house jams by chicken lips dean meredith—here teaming up with fellow londoners ben shenton and tim silver—and a couple of remixes, courtesy of the mysterious house maven chicago damn and production guru brennan green. as usual, the party-starters behind lph (jacques renault from runaway and on the prowl, editor nik mercer, and tobs james friedman) have assembled a four-track 12 inch fit to be played at their biweekly ragers as well as any other dancefloor hungry for something a little unexpected.

the lehult crew goes back to beach with this v.a. full of blistering sundowners. inspired by utopian visions of northern holiday destination sylt - germanys white isle - the four tracks ooze a sense of lighthearted optimism. rave (sylt tv) is a photo-op of a track: a chilled bottle of rose at buhne 16 or a long night at rotes kliff with girls in sequin dresses. refreshing fruit, tasty fruit paints a lighter picture of the same theme. think a tasting tour of 15 different kinds of sparkling water. dj assams sandy warms things up with distant laughter and swirly synths. but stay cozy, because a change of weather is always around the corner. blueberry icetea is closing things out with a hom-age to the jolly car-train that connects sylt to the mainland - the only reasonable way to come and go!
