lphs unpredictable sister label, lph white, is back with another juicy 12inch, one that marks the imprints first foray into japanese clubland. atsushi yano, a kobe based producer, serves up three, as the title indicates, chewy tunes, all doused with african rhythms and set ablaze with fidgety keys, chopped­up vocals, and groovy bass lines. filling the release out is jacques renaults no­nonsense, squared­up, lead­footed remix of stomping on the verge.

squarehead, a sheffield-based up-and-coming talent, is the lucky producer to nab lphs 25th release, a landmark to say the least. (as such, the label is printed with touches of silver inks.)

double lp of shakatak live at the nakano sun plaza hall, tokyo on the 15th december 1983. previously only available in japan on vinyl.

boston label get on down can always be counted on to produce high quality reissues of hip-hop gems, and of course this album is no exception. lord willin was the acclaimed breakthrough release by virginia duo clipse, featuring rappers pusha t and no malice, backed by the eccentric production of the neptunes. both mcs had past connections to the underground drug world, which influenced the gritty, hard-hitting street rap within. the album also featured guest spots from jadakiss, styles p, nore, fabolous, faith evans, and early-in-their career appearances from sean paul, kelis, and lil wayne. get on down now presents the album, fully re-mastered and re-constructed on double vinyl, after long being out of print in the format.

lphs second record of the year is quite a doozy. once again, label co- founder/owner, jacques renault, steps up to the plate, equipped with some tnt laced with his special sauce.

lets play house is kicking the new year off with its own times square ball drop: francis inferno orchestras three-track solo ep, hezbolla. the wonky, off-kilter, eccentric package manages to be two disparate and often contradictory things at once: a guaranteed chaotic, debaucherous barn-burner and a deep, heady epic journey

just when you thought this release couldnt get any bigger... swedish techno god adam beyer rolls in with a gigantic remix for turbo, the first thing hes done for the canadian label since his stockholm mix sessions cd back in 2002.support by: michael mayer

about 18 months ago, lets play house released its most significant ep to date: fantastic mans *its essential*. since then, the australian producer -whose real name is mic newman - has gone on to release a handful of other records, tour the world, and even remix a song for lphs co-owner/-founder, jacques renault. a followup to the 12 inch that started it all was always in order and it is with great pleasure that we finally present it to you now!

maya jane coles, londons queen of the underground, turns in two stellar versions that take the vocal hook and attitude of the original and rework them into hypnotic deep house anthems.

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 newman’s 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.

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.

chicago house legend frankie knuckles with a house anthem with pop appeal , and tony humphries rmx on board

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

finally owner pirupa (defected, klimaks, desolat) comes up with his ep on d-floor. oldschoolish primetime action flavoured with a tribalistic remix from the italoboyz

2013 repress
fantastic solomun & lovebirds remixes, nuff said... just listen

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 pet puppies returns with a stunning release from marcus mixx. recorded in 1987, this cut screams classic chicago house! killer drums from vintage machines, soft melodies, and a bangin bassline. on the flip, the untitled cut churns out another sweet joint with a raw underground basement style.

the follow up to the coveted ghetto track from jody fingers finch brings two fantastic remixes from chicagos derrick carter. on the a-side, the bhq acid vocal mix finally sees its release and delivers a straight up jack track with the instrumental on the flip.

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.
