morgan geists project storm queen marks a return to his roots with an analog approach towards modern house music with a disco pedigree. >lets make mistakes< once again features the vocal talents of damon c. scott. storm queens debut of 2010, >look right through<, became an underground hit and was reissued as a remix package by defected records. 2011s >it goes on< nearly outstripped storm queens debut in popularity and was featured in countless radio and club dj sets and charts. >lets make mistakes< extends the storm queen continuum at 117 bpm, slowing down and emptying out to form a sinewy, building sound sculpture with a pop song nestled at its core. storm queen physical releases will be limited-edition 12 inches only. storm queen is made for djs, but doesnt sacrifice atmosphere and songwriting. storm queen owes a debt to classic house music from new york, chicago and detroit, as well as disco and boogie. s t o r m q u e e n i s a l e a p o f f a i t h .

rob was an enigmatic recording artist from ghana who cut two albums for the legendary essiebons label in 1977. neither of these were big domestic hits at the time and have since become prized amongst collectors in recent years. the title track from this lp was always one of the most popular on the first soundway release ghana soundz and over the years soundway has been asked many times to re-issue the lp in its entirety.

36 hours in. the lights are flickering and the sweat is pouring out of you like the thoughts that you re trying to write down, to get down the words, to put down the message, to translate all the ideas that keep appearing in your head. ideas like uninvited guests that keep showing up and refusing to leave. somewhere though, there s a truth in there. you know it because you saw it. you know it because you felt it. because when you knew that even though there were ten million reasons why you should go to bed now, why you should go to bed straight away. that you should put these silly things down and stop trying to create and just get some sleep already. that you should stop trying to wrestle the ideas in your subconscious down to the ground so you can actually capture and express them to others. but you persist.

release #8 from north-german k-tv imprint. crosssos >dont make me wait< comes backed up with remixes by tidu and quinto. vinyl only!

the dream of another way, red light on her skin, smoke and sensuality in the air, broken promises and a mans embrace. born out of east london’s underground party, love fever records seeks to encapsulate the intensity of a+as late nights and early mornings. over 3 years of pioneering and party providing has seen love fever grow from a word of mouth disco in a dalston loft, to the party for the musically aware, and adult orientated mincers of london and beyond. warehouses, strip clubs, art gallerys and photographic studios have been transformed with many of the true disc jockeys in electronic music joining alex & andy to push the boundaries. a sound has emerged, cross genre, with a heavy leaning on sleaze, elitist house and romantic techno to create a pornographic energy.

2012 pressing !! >gonna make you work< gab es bereits auf 7inch, leider ist das stück für die kleine schallplatte dann doch deutlich zu lang und entsprechend mau klang die single. jetzt kommt der recut auf 12inch, und drei neue tracks gibt es auch noch gleich dazu. so muss es sein. die drei neuen cuts zeigen die oldschoolige chicago-liebe in noch mehr facetten. keine tricks, keine stunts, einfach die pure kraft der maschinen und der soul des menschen dahinter. killer, durch und durch!

nice price deal !!! produced by ras kush , engineered by russ d-black redemption-10 -jah will make a way - cologne + always fari - turbulence

10 track minimal ambient album >about the cycle of life and both its sundry and seemingly important moments.< beautiful release, drenched in melancholia. nice!

manmakemusic continue their adventure into the musical hinterland beyond bass, techno, house and garage with two cuts from new signing, trikk. hailing from porto, portugal, and a recent addition to londons kaleidoscopic music scene, trikk effortlessly marries old school charm with new school edge. a-side, ‘jointly’, takes robert hood-esque jackin’ techno drums and unites them with twisted garage vocal chops and relentless bass. on the flip, ‘i fall down’ takes things down a gear with an emotive mix of cavernous synth lines, heartbroken vocals and skipping drums which harks back to the finest moments of broken beat.

(mdh + floris regoort + m.i.r.k.o. + klankarbeit) theres so much great new music and new talent around these days, that for his new hey! release, michel de hey took a few of these new skool kids under his wings. nice way for hey! to start 2012!

after releasing one of this years most highly touted punk rock albums, make do and mend have decided to tone down their driving and blistering post-hardcore sound on the new acoustic ep >part and parcel<.
boasting three acoustic versions of songs from their breakthrough debut full-length end measured mile as well as a touche amore cover, and two brand new songs, part and parcel has been on the bands mind for quite some time. >it s something we have talked about doing for a while,< admits vocalist/guitarist james carroll. >we wanted to explore the versatility of our songs and also explore our boundaries as songwriters.<

the make or break ep flawlessly exhibits the unique genre crossing production style of maxxi soundsystem. catchy classic vocals, powerful house grooves and an infusion of genres ranging from vintage new york and chicago to garage and modern day disco sum up maxxi soundsystems first ever ep and needwant debut.

man make musics second release is a collaboration between two talented londoners, jack dixon and rick grant. having already made waves with individual releases on labels such as brownswood, hypercolour and take, these two good friends now offer up a pair of brilliantly off-kilter house tracks. >running man< is a heady mix of skipping percussion and caressing juno synth-lines, whilst, on the flip, >muted< takes a more understated, melancholic turn, counterbalancing the ecstatic nature of the a-side. jack and ricks contributions are also offset by kevin mcphees weird and wonderful slow-mo interpretation of >running man<. the remix blends vocals drenched in reverb with creeping piano riffs and shows yet another musical side of a man garnering plaudits from all corners for his unique style.

excellent four track vinyl with slamming house music on board

frankman makes it smooth on this 2001 dessous release.

incl dj sneak & rene breitbarth remixes !!

this time we present you with 3 new names on the labels roster. quell has already been causing waves this year with releases on esteemed imprints like ibadan, 8 bit and these days amongst others. his track >real people< has been a favourite with us since quell sent it out a few months back. steady and with a very pumpy bass, the track builds a very sensual mood reminiscent of the music played at the sound factory back in the days. jack union is a side project from label owner alex tsotsos for his retro sounding house productions. >you can make it< is exactly that. chunky drums and an oldschool sounding organ set the theme for a playful and heavy classic house track. on the flip, we introduce two long time friends the square room heroes. >now is the time< combines modern sound aesthetics with a smokey voice urging you to release the freak. from claap with love

for this first brandt brauer frick remix ep, we asked two very special and hard-to-catch producers to give their own versions of the bands music. ladies and gentleman, welcome pepe bradock and leonel castillo!

his single comes to people that make the music records from one of house musics most eminent production teams: first ibiza lady alla farmer, mateo & matos and ukrainian singer and producer vincent inc, chris gray from deep4life, jazzy house veteran john crockett and uplifting deep king brendan mccarthy aka aquatherium. though not stereo-typically their style, this set of tunes give good credence to their soft house music production ability. they set the scene for sounds entering as a funky bassline, squealy guitar riff, and classic 4/4 drum loop. john remix consist mainly of dubby bubbly conga rhythms, cosmic chords, floaty synths, musical saw tones and a nice rubbery bassline. aquatherium remix is pure non-intrusive, house music that is great for the sunset beach session or even the roller disco! chris & alla made eclectique deep house which is just a dope! the remixed single tracks have been mixed together to give it a beefy blend that would be perfect for the floor of many poorly lit dance dwellings. people that make the music has stepped forward with a brilliant ep of insatiable grooves.

fresh-faced berlin imprint, casual lab, launch their new house and techno stable with a double track and remix package from a new collaborative force. for casual lab, the italian veteran luigi gori has teamed up with one of its rosters rising stars sin tek aka 28- year-old anis hachemi to produce an infectious techhouse floor-filler. berlin stalwart marc poppcke offers a sultry deep house remix of the pairs debut collaboration for casual lab, dimming the lights and upping the groove to provide a glimpse of the citys smoldering club circuit. gog piaf wraps up the debut ep with another crisp, polished house offering from berlins effervescent pool of untapped talent. informed by nine years of classical training, gog piafs productions blend technicality with a far ranging source of influences and styles enough to charm any dancefloor.

deep house/us garage veterans mateo & matos have been around longer than the ark. yet they remain capable of great things, as >want u tonight< proves. its a deliciously dizzy deep house concoction that marries contemporary production (see the beefy bottom end) with the twittering synth melodies and loopy organ hooks of old new york house and garage (think nu groove meets henry street). studio54s remix is classic new york deep disco house, while trevor loveys version has more of a uk jazzy house swing. all the mixes are wonderfully slick and groovesome. swayzak & phreek plus one deep symphoniac mixes is wonderful for morning and chill gigs.

single sided white-label of this 1980 funky disco classics.

as tight and as punchy as you expect - this are two addictive slabs of fast paced house with a distinctly 90s us influence with a shout to minister farrakhan on vocal duties....

a true pioneer of current trends in all things house, groove assassins nick moss has been delivering successful tracks on mn2s for several years. linking up this time round with one of houses most influential vocalists pete simpson sees the creation of a sweet & soulful collaboration package – >gotta make it right<.
on the flip, neil pearce and dawn tallman stay on the soulful path with >outta my head<, including a remix by muthafunkaz.

weird yet very funky & playable chicago inspired house/acid tracks by detroit s jared wilson. jacking rhythms, nasty 303 basslines and whispering voices creating this nice old-fashioned sexual energy... just how we like it. conforce on remix duties delivers a deep & moody techy house rework, perfect for the early morning hours. bomb!

4 track electrohouse smash...
