british producer zepherin saint has always been a man with a fierce passion for quality-strewn, vocal heavy deep house. a thoroughly captivating affair throughout, butterflies sees the producer return to his tribe records imprint alongside regular vocal collaborator, miranda nicole. kicking off the release is the ‘tribe vocal mix’- full of hazy, fuzzy sounds that play out beautifully. a refined house cut, it’s made all the more mesmerising by nicole’s sultry vocal contribution. a perfect foil to zepherin saint’s beats, the coming together of both is truly a joy to behold. bolstering the latter is a live mix, as well as an instrumental version, named here as the tribestrumental offering. zepherin saint is a truly exciting artist and one whose stock continues to rise thanks to his infectious-sounding, afro-tinged house sound.

alex paterson’s longstanding electronic titans the orb present the new album ‘no sounds are out of bounds’, which as the title suggests finds them embracing an anything-goes new approach to creative freedom. refreshing and reinventing the predominantly two-man set up with thomas fehlmann on the prior two albums (‘moonbuilding 2703 ad’ and ‘cow / chill out world!’), ‘no sounds…’ is intentionally an ensemble piece, featuring a large cast of big names, cult heroes, rising talent and fresh newcomers. alex paterson, thomas fehlmann, youth, roger eno, hollie cook and guy pratt take star turns, as does heroic bassist jah wobble, who returns to the fold following the bassbin-bullying anthem ‘blue room’. additional supporting roles come from gaudi, roney fm and michael rendall, plus vocalists brother culture, mary pearce, emma gillespie, rianna, and andy cain – who’s best known for voicing mark ernestus and moritz von oswald’s deep house gems ‘i’m your brother’ and ‘a new day’. the double vinyl release includesd a download code.

no money, no honey goes the saying. so with that in mind, honey soundsystem returns to the aisles of your favorite (and least favorite) record stores with a money shot 12 inch, four tracks that bring all dance floors into states of full release. honey soundsystem has been on the road seemingly non-stop, visiting foreign cities and meeting delightful characters on the way. this ep is a tour diary of sorts, 4 tunes that we have been road tested to the 9th degree and now we want our friends, fans, and foes to have them too. a1 features a track by san franciscos sepehr - the most id requested track from our chapter 10 boiler room finally revealed. a2 is by stockholm&#700,,s henrik bergqvist, a tune jackie got his hands on after a crazy night of rolling and accidentally voguing on top of henrik&#700,,s computer bag. derrick carter approved the use of his voice as long as it said snatched from dc thanks derrick! b1 is by the twink-porn worthy bio-brothers from berlin: morven son - a horny moderne electro classic featuring a secret sample from one of the more fabulous 90s movies about a sex worker. b2 is a hidden gem demo from bogotas lunate. while visiting bogota to play a gig at the legendary video club, locals kept pointing fingers at one guy when referencing the man in town making the music we needed to hear. that guy was lunate and this one of those beautiful and simple tunes you can play at the beginning, middle, or end of any night. the best news about this release? everyone behind these tracks are genuine people with great hearts. the honestly comes through when listening and playing them out, youre gonna love the way you they sound, i guarantee it.

two berlin underdogs and a detroit ravemaster. a driving force in the very early frankfurt electronics since the late 80s, to hardcore acid in brooklyn in the early 90s, producing legends as carlos peron among many others along his way, adsx aka andre fischer might sound new to many but has been an active part of the underground electronic movement for the last 30 years. benji df aka hanoben is no newbie to the scene either and might have soundtracked your night if you were to be found at clubs like tresor or snax in the late 90s. together they recorded an ode to aural sex, its acid counterpart, and a genius sketch of a club banger. when label honcho capablanca heard the latter had little doubts about commissioning an extended mix to motor city s special forces gen. sharif laffrey aka thee activator, who needs little introduction to the discerning raver ears as the man behind instant acid classics turn it up and always, among others. after countless studio days and nights and endless versions (we stopped counting at 56th) sharif delivers what is possibly his best work to date, an unstoppable 12 minute dancefloor annihilator. to wrap such special release we asked legend alan oldham aka ur s minister of information aka dj t-1000, (also responsible for label designs for transmat, djax, submerge, pure sonik and a long etcetera) to create one of his classic artworks. capablanca deconstructs his center pieces for the fully printed sleeve, and everybody s.c.r.e.a.m.

every release is special for us here at hizou. but to clock up our tenth one is a particularly special moment. so it is even more pleasing that we reach this milestone by welcoming on board a producer we admire enormously, life recorder. the man from marseille has a lengthy discography of must-have records to his name already and the super-deep pressure jazz ep will only add to that growing list as he delivers a trio of prime cuts, from the punchy, raw analogue sounds of the title track to the warming subconcious drive and the melodic, acid-flecked traffic jam.

when thinking balearic, there is a name that should strike you right away. no, not ibiza itself, but the man responsible for producing and curating some of the lushest sunset music the white island has ever heard steve miller, perhaps most commonly known as afterlife. making a name for himself in the early 2000s by playing monumental events such as glastonbury, headlining cafe del mars 20th anniversary party and reaching the top of the uk charts by remixing another chance from roger sanchez, hes managed a consistency unlike many others in the decade and a half since. releasing standout classic albums such as simplicity two thousand and speck of gold, his music has been released on the premiere labels of the time, such as hed kandi and defected, while also being featured on numerous compilations to date.

das paradies ist ein blinzeln im pop, vielleicht das gute, alte gefühl, dass man nicht alles versteht, aber alles ganz genau so richtig ist: die texte haben seidene ecken und kanten und die musik ist eine perle aus holz. das ist schön. so schön, dass florian sievers alias das paradies, von bands wie moritz krämer, kettcar und element of crime geschätzt und eingeladen wurde, um deren live-auftritte als vorprogramm noch mehr zu verschönern. auf die 10inch-ep die giraffe streckt sich sind vier neue stücke gepresst, die man loben und lieben muss. sie sind rock n roll und gleichzeitig pop. zen-pop eines zeitauskosters!

when harold boue aka abstraxion invited fantastic man into his studio after playing together the night before he didnt knew he was planting the seed for a new project. as he recalls, it was a day of intense sun in marseille with not enough sleep, but the result was so great that it inspired harold to work on new tracks around the idea of creating music to reflect his city: a bit rough, but luminous and influenced by elements of mediterranean, african and northern european cultures. this has translated into a heavily percussive sound, in which tribal disco grooves invoke the spirits of voodoo-techno. three cuts driven by warmly distorted rhythms, bursts of primitive drums, rubbery synths and uplifting chants that overall feel like the first sunrays after an excursion through a dark cave: both blinding and blissful. the projects name is a tribute to the astrological sign of harolds son, who was born at the same time as the music on the ep. it was the definitive signal he needed to convince himself it was the right time to start something new and different. and an event that for sure helps understanding the vibes that this music transmits: as pure, fresh and powerful as only a new beginning can be.

klas henrik lindblad better known as sasse or freestyle man has been a friend of our label for many years and also released together with dorian for our raum musik compilation in 2005. soul sounds without any doubt still is one of his absolute masterpieces and he was never willing to do anything with it and just let it rest in peace until the idea came up to re release it for our label. usually we are not licensing or re releasing anything but sasse and especially this track of him definitely deserve it. as it is also our 20 years anniversary we got one of our key artists on board that has been playing the track again a lot recently and that also immediately liked the idea of remixing this track and this is the result now. we are happy to present you the original track of sasse plus two remixes by our dear friend ricardo villalobos and label head dorian paic together. enjoy !

a man of many alias, the multi-faceted talent behind juxta position finally finds his way to figure, leaving us an eps worth of highly infectious, acid-festered analogue techno runs. feeding on the raw and dynamic energy of live hardware production, these jams hit the sweet spot where constant modulation and spontaneous changes transform a bunch of loops into something much more than the sum of its parts. whether its a bouncy ride around the rings of saturn with elixir, the frantic sledge hammer-assault of stepping, cascading down into the machines bowels on automated reproduction, or the non-stop, all-out overdrive that is pestered - every track on this record takes on a whole life of its own, making for some seriously potent dj-weapons!

it s been around three years since jpattersson opened up a whole new horizon of formerly unheard possibilities between the worlds of dub and techno. a lot has been happening ever since, and that’s very noticeable on his second album. it still has all the signature elements of jpattersson: there s his dreamy, virtuous trumpet play and his witty vocals, there s his dubby delays and heavyweight beats which often line up in a downbeat rhythm. however, besides his fanfares there s now also many folks, many musical friends who contribute to the vibe of this album. there s a track with berlin mc longfingah, latin-flavoured rhythms from polish reggae and dancehall producer dreadsquad as well as a stylistically wide range of remixes that reflect the symbiotic cooperation and mutual inspiration of these last years.

2018 repress in plain white sleeve.
critical come extremely correct once more with what is bound to be an early summer smash as a certain dub phizix picks up where the almighty marka left off. teaming up with fellow manchester scene stalwart fox proves an inspired choice here which critical just couldnt ignore, so invited him back to drop these two more astonishingly fresh tracks for this, his second outing on the label. simply put, >never been< is baaaaaad man business. a lean, stripped back percussive intro leads us to a breakdown where fox greets us with the sickest of vocal hooks that you will be trying to decipher until the end. when the tribal half-time break drops its time to bounce as the undulating b-line rolls heavy throughout with dub phizix teasing with awesome drumedits and amen shakedowns. riddim! cinematic soundscapes and a solid beats combine on >codec<, a more bass-led slab of equally dance floor drum & bass that retains the dub phizix air of originality with an experimental break the kicks like a mule. another winner without doubt from a very exciting splinter cell coming out of the north of the uk right now.
