description 4 to the floor are committed to delivering seminal house music to wax, making sought after heritage tracks readily available on vinyl for crate diggers to add to their collections. on volume 1’s a-side you’ll find a track with one of the most famous lyrics from house music history md x-spress’ ‘god made me phunky’, the record has inspired countless producers to sample and remix it, but this 90’s gem still sounds amazing in its original glory. on the flip are two mixes of a three kings classic, ‘shake dat booty’. the a pal joey interpretation matches looped vocals with harmonious keys that perfectly complement each other, while the wahoo main mix utilises energetic drums and techy synths to up the ante.

the west loop chicago collective reportedly span continents, pooling soul-soaked talents into some truly powerful dance music. -knocking on the door of the cosmos- doffs its cap to sun ra with some crafty samples, but the musical vibe is more in line with the likes of andres, dego or other such masters of irrepressibly funky house music. -theme for chicago- takes an iconic roy ayers jam and gets wild with the filter, -son of equinox- trips down a loose and limber jazz funk pathway and -payback- whips up some tightly clipped samples into a pumped up peak time belter. from start to finish this ep oozes class and authenticity - a serious grip for any self-respecting midwest heads.

london based rico casazza has been sliding out warm, harmonically rich techno for over 10 years now, shoring up on labels such as bonzai elemental, archipel, stock5, cartulis music, variance and more. on his latest release, which lands on sterling techno imprint murge recordings, he s channeling the spirit of detroit in a plush spread of warm and expressive synth shapes. -transmutation- is strong in its original configuration, but it s also propped up by some classy remixes from big hitters. kirk degiorgio steps up first with a tense, darkside techno workout for the peak of the night. aubrey then pings things up into a trippy, heavy-rolling workout drawn from the freakier end of the spectrum.

pyramid transmissions presents the 2nd solo release on the label from pt creator adj. street life part 2 continues the theme of part 1 with another 4 tracks of bass driven future electro music from one of the longest standing members of the scene. street life part 2 is more pure future bboy music with punching kick drums, alien melodies and crunchy glitches for that unmistakable adj sound aimed at making you dance while getting in your head simultaneously. adj always looks to the future but with nods to his past of 808 electro music.

ghent s muzi cartel crew step into the label game with this assured four tracker from promising emergent talents. viktor udvari is up first with -for our love-, a fired up but delicately executed techno jam with plenty of harmonic balance to make for the most satisfying trip skywards. mrsch takes things deeper and groovier on -pas cu pas-, leaning heavy on the bass and leaving a little more space in the mix for maximum meditation. kled baken s remix of lebawski gets into a minimal house roll with spaced out licks of vocal and hazy pads, and ray mono nudges barbosa s -quinoa- into murky depths for a proper underground roller.

our 8th va compilation, spinning a web around fresh and old bloods alike. a1 introduces arp220, with the tripping meur maei. disembodied vocals bouncing over acid drips, scorching. a2 sees obergman stop the clock with trademark tight productions on the tuff n sucking chronostasis. on the flip, the long-elusive collaboration between xy0815 and int main rigid body sees a proper release after an ultra limited run at last year’s rye wax’s run out. the jaffa kid re-emerges after his beauté du négatif ep with intergalactic war trials, weaving thick but never cloying synth work over a stepping wicked rhythm, making it all happen & dripping for the floor’. finally, newcomer oskar telemann sees off the ep with a crafty marriage of idm and synthwave on anruf aus dem westen. chilling. 5 cuts, 5 styles, everything you need to slick the floors with out of date smoke fluid.

combo lulo returns to names you can trust for their sophomore single, digging deeper into the diversified sounds of the caribbean that helped define their debut. while the first single took a jamaican foundation south into the neighboring continent, fusing the sensibilities of rock steady with those of classic afro-latin orchestras, this single goes far east. inspired by the heady and sublime sounds of foundational ska mixed with east african influences, (think buster s islam, don d s addis ababa or further east), the sieve & the sand is a brand new composition within this natural order, albeit with the fortune of different reggae eras and studio styles to draw from. divided into two parts (but also available seamlessly as it was played in the studio), combo lulo s talented players move effortlessly from the galloping shuffle of ska into a deep and dark, roots radics-styled instrumental. its a lovely ode to the original styles of reggae, but also another impressive accomplishment that will surely leave listeners and new fans in anticipation of the shape of things to come for combo lulo.

were very happy to announce that drumtalk is back! he never fully went away, but were excited to share the results as he ambles into different directions with slower tempos on one side, and faster on the other - while still sounding as vibrant as ever.

ltd 2019 repress! one of the most autochthonous and valuable pieces of our particular culture, probably the main tool to create the most simple and basic culinary items in our lovely gastronomy, but at the same time are the most precious, healthy and elemental ones. we cannot be more identified with this, and hope you can enjoy our humble musical efforts. the budare has their roots in the deeper land s of venezuela, but is developed and created for the global community.

2019 see s the pair land on strctr, a label with a reputation for delivering that sweet house music and das carma are in good company here with previous artists such as manooz, harrison bdp & liam geddes on the label. even the title of the ep shows the fondness between label & producers : str -> mrs (airport codes stands for stuttgart, germany from where the producers come from and marseille, france where the label is based). delivering a 4 track ep of original productions das carma show that sometimes a &#64258,,,ashy remixer is simply not needed. liftoff cloud 9 opens the ep with a warm &#64258,,,oating dreamlike track, ebbing and weaving beautifully throughout the course of the track. larry & frankie and subnautica keep the subtle refrains of the opener but bring the funk slightly more with bump-in garage drums turning these tracks into feel good lo-&#64257,,, burners. closing out the ep is dub101, here the guys waste no time in making the tracks intentions felt, skippy house drums and a big old slice of call & response from some heavy hitting dub chords - peak time tackle.

limited to last 50 copies! this is not the lp but an exclusive package of the 12 inch with 2 dubmixes and cd-r of the complete sound voyage “en route to thailand” album (free soul inc 002).

virages label heads alva unites here artists from different places but with the same passion for deep grooves.

it s been a while since al kent the scottish disco guy released anything on his own label. but since he s celebrating 20 years of million dollar disco in 2019 this seems like the perfect time to rectify that. following on the heels of a string of successes for labels like gamm, razor n tape, cree and bbe, this sublime piece of disco soul has been road tested all over europe and beyond, with each play getting the same massively positive reaction and a queue of punters dying to know what the hell they ve just danced to! so it s probably a good idea to make this available on a super limited one sided pressing so even more people can dance to it

kampana presents 4 doses of afro disco and house, from captain planet, including his heavily in demand rework of shina williams agboju logun officially licensed for this release. the la producer is at the top of his game across the ep, serving up a timeless blend of retro vocals, horns and percussion, with subtle but highly effective club-centred production. this record will not leave your box!

“are you lonely” is a highly sought after slice of timeless soul / boogie. it has been bootlegged in the past but now sees an official, remastered,reissue via the original street level label 36 years after it’s first outing. includes the rare instrumental version “lonely rhythm

ltd repress please welcome dj normal-4 on this original 10- in the family. we don t have same mothers but we love the same women from the rue tabaga. this ep is dedicated to her and all the sisters. a1 is a transcendental training act original track from normal-4. b1 have been made with rasputin. please trust us it s not because you nailed your ass that you have to respect us. just concentrate on -chauffe le pain-

repress 2019 - all that jelly and no toast - like when you find a bomb tune that s unavailable on 12-. the new sublabel of smile for a while is exactly about this. clubby house music by well-established producers as well as from lesser-known guys. french guy alex agore opens the ep with the lowtone remix of -what did i do- - cut-up garage house to the maxx. max chapman from london delivers another belter, a bassline-driven organ house tune with a minimalistic but very effective set-up. oleg poliakov - aka skat and one of the guys behind circus company - comes up with a sublime but powerful tech house tune, in the original sense of the genre name. -jazzve- is a tune by russian producer mutenoise. it s maybe the most original, innovative tune on this ep. full of surprises and cutting-edge elements - hard to compare to anything else around these days.

keysound recordings are excited to present three very unique cuts from scratcha dva x gage: “flytnurse,” “piffd” and “flytnurse (darqmix)”. dark, euphoric, weighty, and somewhat restless, they defy obvious categorisation. gage has made himself a formidable reputation by releasing some of the most forward-thinking darker dance music in the last three years, predominantly on the ever-quality crazy legs imprint. “telo” was a standout dancefloor moment, equal parts impactful and experimental, quickly followed up by the -mercury ep,- -2017 stay paro- and his banger-collab with kevin jz prodigy, -bad bitch.- scratcha dva first appeared on keysound 66 releases ago with the explosive dread grime anthem “bullet a go fly” featuring badness, riko, flowdan and killa p. but in truth he has a lengthy production back catalogue both before and after that 12”, with albums on hyperdub, his new “interludes” project and a track on the recent landmark kode9 & burial fabriclive 100

a great strong man with a brush in his hand once said: everything you can imagine is real and art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. so is making music just another form of keeping a diary? in terms of ana helder, the argentinian girl with the special twist, the answer is: maybe. more than two years after her last release on cómeme she is back with a hand full of tracks. five to be precise. she got more, but this is what the müstiques received. they are mean, dirty, harmful, amorevolous, seductive and addictive.

sun ra was a true innovator, releasing music that was a bit different to his peers from his earliest output. but what would sun ra have made of today’s music scene? if he is looking down from his cosmic realm, he’ll be pleased to know that his music from the past still sounds eerily futuristic.

after metropolitan jazz affair, the dynamics and mr president, master of musical ubiquity bruno ?patchworks? hovart proudly presents uptown funk empire, a burning tribute to one of his all time greatest loves: funk. bruno ?patchworks? hovart, as a self-taught musician and typical teenager, started playling guitar, bass and keyboards at age 15, covering james brown, jimi hendrix and cream in his bedroom and, later in college bands. his first releases are in the mid 90s, with deep house and disco live bands and various electronic projects. he quickly develops and shows very special skills for vintage disco/funk productions with a contemporary flavor. this gifted boy?s been working with artists such as amp fiddler, archie shepp, mr day, paul randolph... and for many recording labels such as i still music (usa), favorite recordings (france), infracom (germany), further out (uk)... uptown funk empire is an exciting and ambitious project, worthy of its name. while the first album is simply called ?the empire strikes back?, it?s no joke... forget the whole revival thing, this sounds like an actual rebirth of the real funky stuff. it?s like being back to the better days of funk without a travel machine... the vibe is vintage but the sound is fresh...that?s not funky music, that?s funky music !
this album is huge and it covers all the golden age groove styles : boogaloo, soul, disco, boogie, funk... but the music flows in the hands of a gifted modern producer. bruno ? patchworks? hovart plays bass, keyboards, computers... handling with love all composition, programming, arrangements, vocals... with brilliant vocal featurings by silky juan rozoff, brit-soul legend noel mc koy at his best, high-voltage divas ange & janice... and the funkysoul brother bruno ?patchworks? hovart himself on the mic... it?s pure funkiness ! beware, ?the empire strikes back? and is kicking... so get up & dance !

repress 2019 - “just do you” is the first single from underground super-producer lord echo s hotly anticipated 3rd album “harmonies”. so long has it s gestation been that it has reached a status reserved only for the mythical and the absurd. some say it will never be finished with the album devouring its host creator and assuming a life of its own - but this first single proves other wise.
lord echo emerges from the darkness with a gleaming diamond in his hand - a slice of pure disco dub indulgence with all the rough trimmings that have made him a cult favourite from tokyo to trinidad.

a fireball to accelerate our post-winter thawing. spanish producer pepes first foray on lph. it starts off unassumingly, with a bright, airy beach boogie thats all gentle drums and trebly synth figurations, but it quickly turns its eye to the strobe-lit nightclub, first with delusions of grandeur, an angular hypnosis of syncopated rhythms, then with aerial, a 130 bpm blitz with an epic build and an equally dramatic breakdown. capping it off is 50 am, which, as the name indicates, is a woozy shuffle thatll help you land the plane nice and easy.

after releasing hvl s away from everything we know 12inch back in 2015, organic analogue welcome the georgian producer back to present his long-awaited debut album. as a resident of the much-vaunted club bassiani, hvl conceived ostati as a document of the sound of tbilisi - centred on warm, outboard house and techno but with a noticeably understated mood. the club tracks take a pared down approach that favours space and meditation over bold brush strokes, but between the teeth-gnashing bite of -askinkila- or the rough and ready acid workout -continuum,- the sound is gutsy and dripping with character. ostati spells out a space where dim lights and mysterious corners provide a playground for wild ideas to dart around in the dark. the overall atmosphere may appear subdued, but it s merely a cover for the fiery spirit lurking underneath.

next slamming disco! everyone has to deal with night cravings, but the way you handle them makes all the difference. beam me up (cyclist & the patchouli brothers) invites you all to indulge your senses with three tracks that all reveal the same quiet intent and zeal for detail rich, full of texture and luscious.

j dillaÕs protege guilty simpson first collaborated with madlibÕs protege med on the hard hitting Ôjungle loveÕ track off j dilla s Ôthe shiningÕ lp. they continued to reunite on several tracks after, and now offer us the child of the jungle lp. with beats by madlib, nottz, black milk, mndsgn, karriem riggins, apollo brown and more... the duo have no choice but to come correct with the lyrics, and they do. from cali to detroit, med and guilty simpson deliver a banging 12 track lp this year on bang ya head entertainment.

started out as a reggae, lovers rock band in the late 70’s, the cool notes consolidated their reputation in the 80s, after turning towards more soulful sounds and have signed different hits, all finished straight into the upper parts of the charts. “i wanna dance” and “blown it” released for the sour grape label owned by patrick mulpeter and danny ryan, both former member of the band gold, are two gems inexplicably left in the shadows, but as often happens, later appreciated as essential spins, in the selection of champion djs.

silverhoejd with axel e is a tasteful result of what can happen when a 16-year-old producer from a swedish small town manages to settle within the colossal edm genre. he has created music that hundreds of thousands of people dance themselves sweaty when axwell/ingrosso, martin garrix and others put it in their usb and in front of recurring times at the world s largest festivals. but living in a city that has been colored by decades of more experimental underground scenes and especially in recent years a very strong ambient scene puts their footprints even in a young producers music creation. silverhöjd is a profound melodic houseware that is mixed by as much imaginative ambient. on the single we hear two versions, one more dedicated dance floor and the other more adapted for quieter moments.

late night house club vibes by ilija rudman, joined forces with dream team producers on remix duties and their vision of this very simple but yet effective heavy driven club vibes track.

slamming new june featuring morah (brokntoys) and mannequin records boss alessandro adriani

with any new medium, the full power is only unearthed with experimentation. arts reveals to the world an exceptional diamond, netsh presents himself to the world surrounding the label with an exceptional record that aims to makes you really wonder why techno & electronic music nowadays has one simple direction. the artist expresses himself freely in the sonic spectrum and floats from one side to the other like no other. this record was built to make you wonder, question, inspire, but more than anything open your mind to something you might have heard only from very few artists in the world.

in celebration of their five-year anniversary, sol asylum is proud to present its fifteenth release on the label. this time around freerotation co-founder and modular synthesis master, steevio delivers a fresh cut of his distinctive modular sound. finishing off the package is a stellar artwork from his partner suzybee that is not only beautifully intricate but delivers an important message. “zephyr” presents steevio’s signature on the fly improvisational approach to creating music in real time with his complex modular set-up. each track presents a different mood of his infectious analogue shuffle, sophisticated melodic lines and ever evolving sequences that will transport the listener directly into the future.

label boss paul steps up with a new but not surprising moniker dinsync. no stranger to the label as one half of helltown acid milita, the dinsync project is pauls first solo outing in over a decade.

welcome to the next -lost housetracks- mini compilation. -volume 6- presents familar faces. franco strato delivers a funky peaktime house tune, while franksen does a epic melodic track. on b-side you will find co-labelowner matt under his m.s. pseudonym with a old school flavoured house gem and last but not least we welcome back yusuke yamamoto and his warm dreamy song -new life-.

club of jacks have been previously spotted on labels like plastik people and blockhead, which should give you an idea of where their sound is pitched. this is classic house with a distinctive uk slant - the beats are up front and the bass is mighty strong. the subs on -alright- just can t be beaten, not least when peppered with other sound system garnishes that keep things ruff and tuff. -raw like 94- makes great use of a lisa stansfield sample for lyrical input, but once again the emphasis is on the weighty production. it s a sound that carries through the b side too, providing you with four highly workable jams for the peak of the night

franck kartell’s third full length release on bass agenda recordings sees him continuing to do what he has done since he began this creative trajectory of making concept driven albums, pushing himself, his art and your experience as a listener, into new realms.
