repress 2018 - it is not a secret anymore that manchester has been a deephouse capital city since quite a while. the meandyou. party series is the main spot here with resident djs juniper & arnaldo amongst others spinning alongside their favourite acts like lowtec (whose track on smallville 14 was already a homage called meandyou.dub), jus-ed, dj qu, kassem mosse, move d and the smallville posse. for our catalogue number 30, juniper & arnaldo are delivering four house tracks from outta space, that fit perfectly into the smallville vein. the global village of sweet house music is rising.

arnaldo launched naturist recordings this year and is on to the second release, ’folk in the path’ is more dance floor oriented than his previous work but still delivers his own brand of airy organic house. the label aims to release stripped back and soulful music, focusing on the journey rather than the destination. originally from argentina, arnaldo now lives in berlin, he has released on smallville, aim, greta cottage, untilmyheartstops & blank slate. he has also appeared on scissor and thread under the low-key rosa nievas alias and has a monthly nts show. artwork by jen von klitzing.

psychic advisor is a worldwide affair- mysterious makybee diva from down under, snad hailing from chicago, l amour fou on b1 the project of move d and his friends from taipeh benoit and marco plus last but not least arnaldo reppin berlin / uk / argentina, closing down the compilation on b2. you might consider this record as a clubnight from start to finish there is everything from slow euphoria to crystaline deepness, from shake everything-moments to different states of a sweet dream but it all fits as if it was bound together. full cover artwork as always by stefan marx.

untilmyheartstops presents a 3-track ep from arnaldo

fresh deephouse three-tracker from arnaldo on aim.

until my heart stops vol 4 with more fantastic tracks from arnaldo , joey anderson, october , leif ! tipp

a four-track ep, bemired and evil-eyed, but with room for arnaldo to breathe out and flex a little after his spooked, sparked contribution to blank slate 001. the opener is a dubwise bubbler, with spaced-out keys, free woodblocks, shuffling hi-hats and elastic 303 bass. atmosphere breached is more jazzy and messed-up, running funky organ through sizzling fx, syncopated handclaps and filtered groans. the flip is dancefloor-trained. our pick of the bunch, verano is in a dark, hissing, aqueous world of its own, chugging and stomping, with relentless tambourines, crunchy filtered tribal drums and detuned horns. heads down to close: lost voices and a 909 kick, chattering hi- hats and rattling percussion administer the licks.

brill deep, groovin and raw tracks...

25th anniversary of this criminally under-appreciated compilation of brazilian pop music (new! more! better!), so we’re putting it on vinyl for the first time. compiled by david byrne, pressed on blue & orange double vinyl.

with previous releases from some of the top heads of the electronic spectrum, including leif, steevio, arnaldo and more, the imprint untilmyheartstops returns with its latest release, this time for mysterious producer ekeko. rich analog tape waves sit nicely beside thick 909 rhythmic elements throughout this killer three tracker. the title track -beyond good & evil- starts things of with strong spirit, taking pulsations of warping synths and balancing them with hazy club driven patterns. this theme continues through fm joy and eye ache but with a wider focus on the dubbier elements of the electro and house spectrum.

a tripped-out batch of hard jamming tracks from ex-mutante rita lee – recorded with assistance from all the members of the group at the time, but in a mode that’s quite different overall! lee is clearly the star of the show here – singing all lyrics with a much fiercer vocal approach than on her earlier solo album – pushing things hard to keep up with the jamming keyboards of arnaldo baptista and guitar of sergio dias – both of whom are working with the energy that would show up in the mutantes styles in the years after lee departed. one of the most compelling aspects of the record is the structure of the tunes – less conventionally rockish overall than the direction os mutantes were moving towards – and still with that strong dramatic flair that lee always provided when in the group. titles include -vamos tratar da saude-, -amor branco e preto-, -superficie do planeta-, -teimoisia-, -tapupukitipa-, -beija me amor-, and -frique como-.

180 gram brazilian polysom re-issue of the polydor original.
quite possibly the last truly sublime album ever recorded by os mutantes – a set that’s a bit more rock-oriented then their first few, but still pretty revolutionary overall! the group have expanded to a quintet at this point, but haven’t yet falling into the guitar-heavy groove of later years – and rogerio duprat is working with the group on arrangements, although mutantes member arnaldo baptista is handling production chores himself. odd styles still slide into the mix as the tunes roll on – creating that great sense of surprise that makes their best work so great, and keeping things fresh even when a bit more straight ahead! titles include a reprise of -baby-, one of the group’s early classics – plus -portugal de navio-, -virginia-, -tecnicolor-, -el justicero-, -lady, lady-, -sarava-, -it’s very nice pra xuxu-, and -top top-.

180 gram brazilian polysom re-issue of the polydor original.
one of the hardest rocking albums ever cut by os mutantes – a record that’s got a slightly ironic take on rock and roll styles of the time – still performed with the sense of drama and humor that always made the band so great! rita lee and arnaldo baptista are still in the group at this point, and they’re working amidst a heavy wave of guitars that echo out with a bit of keyboards and some rhythms that are chunky enough to almost be called funky at times, but sweet and dreamy at others – all produced with a flanged-out finish that makes the whole thing sound great!

mentha records steps up with a various release called into yourself featuring four emotive compositions that span the deep house spectrum. tides by michael lovatt starts the 12inch with lush chords and a deep baseline that gives off a warm feeling. kareem ali is up next with arnaldo tamayo mendez, a sensual track that is packed full of frequencies as ali shows off his harmonic and arrangement skills. the flip side begins with an anaxander piece called unspoken , with an emotive motif that displays homage to a classic deep house sound. michael zucker is holding up the last leg with together, this melancholy tune seeps its way slowly into your cells through an invasion of warm tones. into yourself is a solid 12inch for the deep house soldiers.

a fine 2015 for untilmyheartstops so far has seen the label usher in superb 12- releases from zach lubin, arnaldo, and duckett with the latter s pair of records a particular highlight. label co-founder leif is next up with taraxacum, his second album and umhss debut long-player and it may be their finest work to date. building on dinas oleu, his well-received 2013 debut album for fear of flying, the nine tracks on taraxacum show leif channelling all-new levels of immersion in his productions right now. very much an album you sink into, there are still tracks on taraxacum that will work on the dancefloor when you require something a bit hypnotic wed love to see a small club reacting to the startling an elephant madness for example. great work leif!

halal prepared: respectfully selected cuts, uncontaminated by mass production.
back with a bang, the halal prepared series from boe brings three exciting artists whom cover a wide range of the house music spectrum yet the release as a whole manages to focus on the essence of true deep house music.

a brand new house label from the b-tracks camp, harsher and more bad-boy than supply, with a killer four-track showcase to get the ball rolling. fresh and diverse... exceptionally good. scarily small amount available...
