rawax proudly welcomes the legend adonis the the family! we re very honoured to present you on the 30th edition of our chiwax classic series the man who produced 1986 his fist of many house anthems, -no way back-! now in the rebound: the 1989 originally on jack trax released -do you wanna jack/ lost in the sound-. as bonus track adonis gave us -my space-. another outstanding track, he did with virgo aka marshall jefferson! this release is quite unique in this combination - so don t sleep on it! we ll have it on black solid vinyl and also on purple vinyl - it s up to you!

mathematics celebrates more than 20 years with previously unreleased adonis gems “after midnight” & “brothers gonna work it out” featuring the late great daryl pandy from 1987.the after midnight ep is greatly appreciated in these times of oppression & anger.

... adonis comically named -endless pokers- project is no joke, in fact, this is some serious chicago acid house! originally released in 1987 and featuring adonis trademark staccato drum machine rhythms, creeping acid lines and cowbells -the poke- is a classic (watch out for those vocal stabs too!). all 3 mixes featured on this 12- bring something new to the table, twisting and turning that acid line into a frenzied buzz. this is pure old school business, chicago style! raw, simple box jams of the highest order! a definite essential, a record like this in the right hands can produce some devastating effects and still sounds incredibly fresh today. re-mastered, re-pressed and brought to you in conjunction with dj international records.

adonis >were rocking down the house< are issued and remastered for 2014. released in conjunction with trax in original 1986 artwork.

there is hardly any other track so closely connected to sven väths twelfth ibiza season, like adonis by alex ridha aka boys noize. with his fusion of energy disco with massive percussions and chicago memories, adonis fitted just perfectly to the intensive late summer we had. but theres still more to come, and so cocoon recordings are offering no less than five congenial versions: on the vinyl edition we find, besides the original version, the first remix of stone breaker mark e, dj and producer from birmingham who recently had the honour to do an album on the well-respected us label spectral sound. he skilfully transfers adonis into a hypnotic house opus with a recognisable detroit pinch.

limited to 500 copies!!!! hardly any other german music producer is so involved in the powerful development of elektro, techno house and noise pop over the last six years as almost 30-year-old alex ridha from berlin. with highly acclaimed releases on international deejay gigolos, turbo and last not least his own label boys noize records

adonis presents the invite by late invitation, three live tracks from a swiss band. its deep house in a nu-disco meets steppers kind of way. its just this side of metro area and that side of non-american bands paying tribute to a funky, soulful style in their own particular way.

the fabric mix cd done by the glimmers featured a version of this adonis cover done by this portugese art band (big in the 80s). this 12inch has a brand new 12 min long remix done by adonis himself b/w a steve poindexter remix of >querelle< and a circle jerk dub of adoniss classic no way back.

another 1986 classic chicago house release by adonis includes 2 basement jaxx remixes not to be missed

old skool chicago tech-house. not our usual style, but this is so deep and dubby we couldn t resist. for fans of the relief label, mike dearborn, and the recent steve poindexter record (which featured a heiroglyphic being cut). just as funky as it is techy. dope

ltd 7- release with classic chicago house music >>>>
there’s a reason why so many of house music’s early releases have endured over the decades. the best of them have a quality that defies logic. early house records like heard s own -washing machine,- or the -no way back- by adonis, still have the power to stun listeners and drive clubs wild. they sound alien and beautiful, simultaneously ingrained within us and so unlike everything that followed. and few sound as beautiful, or as alien, as -can you feel it.- by 1986, heard—who was born and bred in chicago and been playing in bands as a drummer—had already proved to the world that he was a master of poignant, enthralling house. the previous year’s elegant “mystery of love,” originally released on alleviated records, had featured an insistent ascending bassline repeating under a plaintive, swooning analog synth, with a gentle, conga-led rhythm setting the pace. it was soon rerecorded in a slightly more fleshed-out style, this time featuring frequent collaborator robert owens on vocals—”there’s a moment in our lives when we all must try the mystery of love”—and rereleased on d.j. international.

ltd 7 - release of the house music classic --
by the time the jungle brothers rapped about it in 1988, house music had been bumping in nyc clubs for years. even though the genre would go on to become a global phenomenon, house music had humble beginnings in predominantly gay and black clubs in chicago. musically, house music was inspired by the eclectic dance records played by djs frankie knuckles and ron hardy at clubs like “the warehouse” and “muzik box”. with a growing club scene, labels like trax records and dj international played a major role in the development of the genre. founded in 1984, trax was an important outlet for house music in its early days, releasing many classics including -no way back- by adonis, larry heard s -can you feel it,- and the first so-called house anthem in 1986, -move your body- by marshall jefferson. this latter tune gave a massive boost to house music, extending recognition of the genre outside of chicago.

jamal moss aka hieroglyphic being veröffentlicht sein lang erwartetes soloalbum “the discos of imhotep” auf technicolour/ninja tune! jamal moss hat sich einen einwandfreien ruf als produzent sowie als live-performer von hypnotisierendem, experimentellem elektro und free jazz aufgebaut, der in seiner heimat chicago und seinen beziehungen zur schöpferischen underground club-szene wurzelt. inspiriert durch ron trent, dj rush und ron hardy, wurde jamal moss von den visionären und produzenten steve poindexter und adonis ausgebildet. diese brachten ihm die drum machines näher, die das rückgrat der bewegung waren und ihn zu seinen frühen streifzügen durch die musikproduktion ermutigten. seitdem veröffentlicht er fleißig über sein eigenes label mathematics recordings sowie labels wie rvng intl. und soul jazz / sotu. seine stellung, als unverwechselbare, kreative kraft, verfestigte moss auch durch seine zusammenarbeit mit marshall allen von sun ra arkestra und noleian reusse (als africans with mainframes). unverwechselbar ist auch seine art, musik zu machen: er vereint seine antike herkunft und musikalische dna mit einer leidenschaft zum experimentieren, erschaffen und setzt musik als heilmittel ein.

one of the early big records in the uk that preceded the acid house mania that followed in 1988 and mr. lee s first in a string of releases on trax. adonis recalls bumping into mr. lee in the street: what s up with you, adonis? and i said, oh man, i got a record out. i m doin house music and makin money at it. the next time i saw him, he was sayin , hey man, i got a record out too! i can t forget features a more spoken word delivery in comparison to his later productions where he d retooled and become a rapper (of sorts).

qalomota records is back with a release from the 2 foundators of qalo-mota. as usual qm is large and offer you different type of house. for this cocktail ep you could dance on hard to get this track really influenced by nyc club scene. the old timer will pleased with too far gone reminisence of several tracks from dj pierre or eric kupper and as said adonis too far gone and no way back! to finish, the real music lovers will recognize the female singer on this remix from a classic of classic. simply few words, get fun and get your ass on the dancefloor.

dance mania classic from 1994. parris mitchells butter fly featuring vocals from adonis. fully re mastered for 2016 and released in conjunction with dance mania.

2015 repress ...
this one is really raw dirty monotonous early techno beats with some claustrophobic noises, lots of old acid sounds from old analog gear, 303s filtered by hand, headcutting hi hats and an overall dark atmosphere. flashback to the early days of mr.finger, adonis etc

currently causing quite a stir on the underground, the jerome hill remix of marshall jeffersons s trax classic lost in the groove is a complete re-interpretation, solid jacking (hard) house music using the original vocal that s cut loud onto the vinyl and worms inside your head and has been doing serious damage in the clubs and festivals last year. now with all licensing and red tape cleared away, it s set for release. dancer boom boom is actually a collaboration between acid legend adonis and sidney winters, with a mix down by house legend frankie knuckles. this sat on the b side of am a dog on trax records and is rare & obscure to say the least, but once the needle touches the groove you know it s a killer. massive kick drums and mysterious organ scales, this one is a mad mad tune ! produced in 1987 (and sounding like nothing else from that year) it s been given a very slight and very respectful re-arrangement by jerome hill, remastered and cut super loud. strictly limited and if the previous titles on the label are anything to go by, this one will sell out equally quick.

producer and boss of mathematics records, jamal moss a.k.a hieroglyphic being is a one-off musical explorer. jamals music takes cues from the ebm and house that played a huge part in the city s musical underground in the late eighties and early nineties, notably ron hardy and adonis, but also industrial, avant-jazz and noise. his tireless schedule of rough low-key releases over the last 12 years and his intense, very physical, psychedelic music, have made him a key exponent or maybe even a pioneer of what has recently come to be named outsider house, although he prefers the more sun-ra like descriptors of rhythmic cubism and cosmic be-bop.
the double vinyl lp includes a download code for the full album.

liddell townsells debut 12inch on trax (co-produced with adonis) is a non-stop call to arms to the dancefloor set to a hype chicago backing track that presses all the right buttons! originally released in 1987, this is the first time it has been re-mastered and re-issued and it still sounds as heavy as it did back then, a sure fire dancefloor killer in true chicago fashion, party people jack your body is an essential weapon in any djs bag. let the rhythm move your feet

hvnxx is one of the most special projects weve taken part in as a label. some months ago the xx and young turks asked our artists to remix tracks from coexist. it was a big honour and also a big responsi- bility, specially considering that the xx is one of our favourite bands. the outcome of such challenge is a four-track ep that showcases the sound of both well-established members of the hivern family, such as marc pinol and new jackson, and upcoming talents such as round and mistakes are ok. all four remixes are pretty different among them, but they all manage to maintain the distinctive spirit of the original songs in their own way. marc pinol takes fiction to the good ol days of chicago house, laying the original vocals on top of analog drum-machines and a rubbery bassline to that suggest an imaginary collaboration between adonis and oliver sim. the elusive mistakes are ok maintains the tropical vibe of reunion but provides a warped atmosphere combining breezy chimes with static haze and a propulsive bass that boosts the song towards the second part of the remix. hiverns latest signee round transforms the fragility of missing into a soothing house cut through uplifting organ chords and vigorous rhythms fulfilling dancefloor demands without loosing its melancholic character. finally, new jackson proves once again his knack with nocturnal ambiences flipping swept away into a sensuous deep-house gem guided by an absorbing piano and a slow but steady groove. the release comes in an embossed sleeve with artwork designed by arnau pi. hvnxx is a co-release with young turks.

new kanada enters the fall 2012 season with some dark angular acidic house. black and medleys >roll the dice< - featuring the voice of rosina – is an old-school blend of disco, ny house and classic toronto warehouse vibes. slightly acidic, with its bubbling juno bassline – and slightly techno with the driving, repetitive beat – this house track should rock the deepest of dancefloors. file somewhere between henry street and early adonis. 5am - no earlier. for the flipside, adam marshall sits down at the controls for a clinical, tight, stripped-down scrubbing, turning the original into a late-night fear edit. broken, diffused drums and lots of black empty space in this one. the lights go out – blackout.

nice price deal !!! dro carey from sydney has been making waves for a while now, as both an audio and visual artist and journey with the heavy crystallises a disconnected ambiguity that defines its own melodic path like a red carpet slowly unravelling, only to be seen to have been cut up and slashed beyond recognition.

early support: adonis smith, hakim murphy, neville watson, perseus traxx (future flash), anthony shakir, david vunk (moustache records), massimiliano pagliara, mass prod, ksoul, photonz (one eyed jacks), boris noiz, ali renault (human shield recordings), humandrone, michael eldridge, rick hopkins (thunder, london), terrence sinclair allen, john heckle, lula circus, eddie richards, alexxei n nig (exprezoo), rufus (bosconi records), moody manc, merrick brown, g marcell marcell, edoardo scarpellini (aka e-dward!).
locura present the second vinyl of our brand new imprint, locura records. they are trying to involve the best underground artists, focusing on the first chicago sound, with deep, acid and disco elements. this record starts with our collaboration with ennio colaci, half of minimono (oslo, bosconi, tuning spork), >the keeper of dreams<, remixed on the same side by the highly acclaimed german duo snuff crew (gigolo, rush hour, snuff traxx). the 3 tracks b side will contain 3 originals by meschi (lunar disko), rio padice (tsuba, morris audio) and takeshi kouzuki (mathematics).

stuart li aka basic soul unit (versatile, mathematics, ostgut ton) has delivered 4 new cuts of submerged bass excursions for nouveau kanada. all tracks sound distinctly raw and heavy, but with modern nods to uk bass and spatial elektro. stuarts deep appreciation of dusty house grooves shines through on all tracks - but his treatment of the lead cut >deep diving< pays homage to those dope dance mania b-sides of yore. for fans of kassem mosse, move d, adonis, larry heard, early ur, stl, edgy pearson sound or good brazilian jams from the 60s.

slamming chicago house classic !! now, 2011 with fresh updated versions

this is the track that has been burning down the house this summer, this is punk-funk techno ... this is >fables and fairytales<. a deep, dark and wonderful cut of distorted house music from adam marshall and nicholas murray under the alias n/a featuring the voice of rosina… a creation that touches the heart, body and soul with an intensely passionate sound, producing one of the best crosstown rebels releases yet.

on the b side, the latest artist signed to rebels, the uniquely talented deniz kurtel, stretches the hook into a dubbed out trip of groove-infused techno. morphing and twisting the ferocious female voice to sensual whispers and heart-felt cries, she works more enchantment into this anthem and builds a serious groove for a dark room.

supported by jimpster, danny howells, andy cato, ben watt, roy davis, luke solomon, tiger stripes,.. pooled music returns with another solid release from label owner, and all round house debonair, ian pooley. more class productions here, with two versions of the unique sounding the dark white and holes in my shoes , a great track that nods heavily to those classic early house productions. proceedings kick off with the lo slung funk of the dark white (juno mix) , sounding like the love child of adonis and moodyman this seemingly simple groove will slowly bury its way into your head.

second collection of four tracks by old and new artists on mathematics. soulful house from cris moss acid, contra communem opinionem, audio atlas, and late invitation. assorted warm, synth-heavy, melodic house and techno. for fans adonis, moroder

the ron hardy tribute juggernaut rolls on with two more flashes of enlightenment. a slice of salsoul scorcher is paired with the cooler vibe from chris & cosey. >i remember ron hardy dropping nitzer ebb (hard industrial band) in between records by marshall jefferson and adonis.< says scott k. (more club, los angeles >in urb magazine theres an article on felix da housecat where he mentions frankie knuckles dropping cuts from bands like new order. he then credits (rightfully so) ron hardy for starting that.< >ron was more adventurous that frankie knuckles. frankie would play straight disco but ron would play all kinds of stuff. hed play eurythmics, he play man parrish, hed play shannon, right along with the disco. and man, he just stole all of frankie knuckles crowd.< - marshall jefferson deep underground chicago staple of music played by the chose few to the ones who truly know how deep it is. now its time for the masses to feel the real deepness of the true chicago 80s era of music. only ten percent of what happened here in the 80s, is known to the rest of the world. dont you want to be a member?
