since 1987, frak have been everyone s favourite, premier swedish synthesizer-touching weirdos. even if most people hadn t heard of them until 4 years ago. and yet, world of frak is as long as it is wide. as blue as it is black. as ominous as it is glorious. as dirty as it is hairdryer. sweet it is as yellow paper as. all of the above is a perfect example of how trying to convey what frak is in the crass form of words is ultimately fruitless. here is a double 12inch vinyl product from ultimate hits featuring eight audio recordings from frak: three men who have known each other since at least 1987. the sleeve was lovingly hand screen-printed at the studio of house of traps, and features the colours commonly known as pink and black.

the young senators are an exemplary progenitor of dc’s hyper-local, hyper-celebrated go-go scene. peers of chuck brown’s black heat and soul searchers, the septet was led by energetic singer and conga player jimi dougans, and featured saxophonist leroyflemming, guitarist calvin charisty, keyboardist frank hooker, drummer james johnson, bassist wornell jones, and trumpeter phillip guilbeau. the band issued two singles on the the tiny innovation label, before joining up with motown’s eddie kendricks in 1972 for his sophomore effort people…hold on. the young senators’ fuzzed-out brand of psychedelic soul is often bootlegged, but finds it first legitimate release in 45 years via these remastered sides.

its been a couple of years since classic released an original artist album, the last one being luke solomons critically praised timelines. this time round classic brings a relative newcomer into the fold. eli escobar has slowly been building a credible reputation out of his home in new york, releasing his first single back in the late nineties and moving more recently from hip hop into dance music. as a dj, he harks back to a golden era of disco and early house music, graduating through the 90s during which he was brought up on a diet of underground house including classics early output. in recent years classics head was turned by his wonderful album up all night that was released on night people, a label from new york that eli (pronounced el-ee) has a vested interest in. following up the album with a series of singles, the label swiftly became a cult dance classi

music has always played a major part in ezel s life. having done remix work for labels such as yoruba, king street and reel people and working with artists such as tortured soul, daz-i-kue, atjazz, john arnold & jeremy ellis, it s now time to welcome ezel to the local talk family with get down . opening is the title track get down (original mix) , with its immersive chords, bumping bassline and the help from the unmistakeable vocal talents of tumelo, it s house the way we like it. both soulful and deep. on the b-side ezel serves us a remix of get down. there s no denying in that there s a strong osunlade envisionesque feel to this one - and that s a good thing ! an absolute must for every dj s bag, trust us. finally production heavyweight atjazz revisits the glory of the bayacou mix but focuses more on the finer tweaks, it s all in the details folks.

ltd summer 2016 deal.. its a really clever go lucky move that the never resting glückskind founders michael klang and jürgen kirsch got samuel knob on board. the valencia-based producer really knows how twist those knobs to come up with the craziest noises. his skills, honed during his residency times at barraca music and narita club, are perfectly put into use with this crafty release that should have people dancing on the roof tops--naked. samuel, a drummer who jumpstarted his musical career at the age of sixteen in a pop-rock band, is exploring the outer realms of percussive beats, incorporated in a tight yet not at all minimal sounding house construct. inspired by his father who is also a drummer and programmer, he does not hesitate to foray into unknown dimensions, making this eleventh glückskind release a very special piece of black gold

greg belson s divine disco is a snapshot in time encapsulating the raw power of a spiritual performance, set to the pulsating 4/4 rhythms that were in vogue with the dance floors of the day. tip! labels like savoy played a key part in identifying artists that fit nicely into this brand new style with performers like shirley finney and the gospelaires, both of whom were established within the scene, but carried the disco torch brightly with their tunes featured here. divine disco also paints a picture of the lesser known acts that privately released their message to the hopeful masses, such as the gospel ambassadors and the inspirational souls, whose recording budgets would have been significantly less than any major label.

sing with me: much in the same vein of the mannheim house sound made popular by artists like johnny d, nick curly, christian burkhardt etc. bretts gives us a deep but driving track centered around an african boy singing. brett chops the sample up to create a choir of ethereal voices to support the boys singing. as the track progresses it takes a left turn into weirdville through some dramatic synth tweaks & sweeps. this track is perfect for anyone who likes to dance standing up, with their head down and first firmly in the air. speaking japanese: many people will tell you learning to speak japanese is one of the most difficult languages to learn, and theyre right. lucky for you, brett has done all the work by translating his message into sound. the core inspiration for this track is based on a sample from a song by get physical owner and artist mandy. they were kind enough to let brett use the sample and run wild with it. the result is 8 minutes and 12 seconds of over driven 909s, rolling bass lines and a pad so thick you need a fork to eat it. all of this keeps the calm while frantic chatter and out of this world fxs take you to a japanese after party somewhere in shibuya.

heated heads delves into another dark corner of the american experiment, this time via the lone star state. graig clouse s shit & shine project has been a mainstay of the underground for well over a decade, having released unique sides for legendary labels like rhode island s load, riot season, gangsigns, powell s diagonal imprint, rocket recordings, conspiracy outta belgium and the inimitable editions mego, to name but a few. for this 12-, $&$ has invoked the ghosts of cb radio via the us trucking fraternity - 4 cut n shut jams that defy regular definition. backed so far by the likes ron morelli (l.i.e.s), the trilogy tapes, bill converse, jon k, nina (golden pudel), shapednoise

fresh 2016 repress !!! 1st release in a series of reissues from the moods & grooves catalogue!

nice price deal !!! this ep is the culmination of over a decade of research into the hidden mysteries that dictate the workings of the power structure of the world we live in. the vocals reference situations and phenomenon hiding in plain sight. the matrix is real, and for those wishing to know more this ep is n essential guide. a1- is future modern aaacid house in ¾ time. the odd time signature works in unison with the phrenetic pastor manning telling it like it is with regards to the corrupt us president. the worst in the history of the entire nation. a2 - references jose’s delgato’s mind control experiments and the fact that this technology exists and is in use today. the track was made using the advanced mathematical scheme known as the golden ratio to achieve maximum “pleasure response” from those listening and dancing to it. b1 - emotive chord work along with a huge rolling bass line set the stage for redsilverj’s vocals about the 2 types of people with regards to the new world order. those who will sell out, and those who will wake up. period! lots of changes, melodies, and counter melodies work to make this the most beautiful sounding cut on the record. lush deep house. b2 - the deepest darkest house. ominous almost foreboding chords lay a murky foundation that quickly unfolds like a ghostly mist. the vocals are about the artificial womb phenomenon and the fact that humans will react and be treated like cattle by the elites. late late night deep banging higher consciousness house.

mixing abstract hip-hop and house, blutch s style is mind-blowing and striking, with touches of groove and heat. borrowing from pépé bradock, francis inferno orchestra,cuthead, andrés, shigeto and massive attack, blutch has forged a unique musical identity all along his career, always with this strong desire to combine several universes into a single entity.
in january 2015 blutch revealed his creative genius with his first ep, equilibrium. he will soon revisit a voluptuous set mixing trip hop, the softness of electronica and a hypnotic deephouse. requilibrium unites 9 artists in one project that represents blutch’ diverse musical spectre. friends, idols, people who we loved to collaborate with, spend time with, get to know better. the r stands for the remix, the reinterpretation of blutch’ ep equilibrium. each artist gives new life to one of the tracks, spicing them up to their liking. cuthead transforms « skyview » in a straight-up house floor killer while maxime dangles takes « chocolates & hamburgers » to gloomy, cold electronic heights. between these two extremes the music gradually and cleverly evolves track by track. melodiesinfonie opens up in complete serenity with his take on « a. » which takes us straight into summer with our feet in the sand. tito wun follows up perfectly with his version of “wildstar” that is stacked with groovy samples. next up is keroué, member of the band fixpensill. he puts his rhymes on a stellar edit by ywnwa. jenovah choses to take “deep diving” on a bass-driven path while pavane sees and raises that with an orchestral version of anyoma. it’s up to the brothers ark & pit spector to close out the ep by taking « elis » into deeper territory.

its a long time since we last heard from dop. the boys have been far from quiet, continuing to tour and enchant party people across the world with their infectious fusion of house music and refined songwriting. theyve equally been no strangers to the studio, with their les fils du calvaire project releasing the recent rester avec toi collaboration with miss kittin in preparation for the debut album of the project later this year

we pressed the 4 track hot pack of multi culti beats on a limited run of 500 jungle green records. in case you missed it, heres what the ep is all about: soul clap records welcomes one of the most unique artists in the game and he goes by the name bosq. a longtime boston homie, bosq (also known for his work with dj kon and the whiskey barons) first astounded us with his orquestra y madera album (ubiquity records) which put a modern dance floor twist on afro/latin funk and provided some of our biggest dj bombs that year. continuing to build the bridge we released his edit of fela kuti s opposite people (gator boots), collaborated on higher for our dotc vol.2 compilation (soul clap records) and we remixed his single bad for me from his sophomore celestial strut album (ubiquity records). this release is also accompanied by a sister record of remixes by auntie flo and caserta on limited yellow vinyl.

insurgently crossing philly soul, cape jazz and bump jive in 1976, the same year as the soweto uprising, poignantly shot through with timmy thomas’ why can’t we live together.
“it was so important for us to play a kind of crossover then, to weave in touches of motown, philadelphia soul and teddy pendergrass that the coloured community appreciated, and basil’s cape town sound, and sipho’s sound that was legendary in the black community, and make music that people could all enjoy together... the regime divided us: people classified coloured had identity documents, black people had the dompas. we didn’t accept that separation. sipho, although he was born in kzn, could play any feel. sometime he’d joke, does my bass line feel coloured enough?”
another landmark matsuli. the title track is killer.

super deep chicago business from the mysterious doctor mixxx on the tiny, obscure trax offshoot zig-zag. originally released in 1993, this 3 track ep still sounds fresh today, in fact one could argue that people still try to emulate this style of chicago house music! deep, raw and oozing soul the 3 cuts on zig-zag 2 will definitely find a place in any self respecting house heads dj set. remastered & re-issued for 2016s dancefloors in conjunction with trax records, another dope rarity culled from the vaults - snoozing not advised!

despite having deep roots within the club scene as a acclaimed producer, remixer and busy dj, kasper bjørke has in the past years been focusing his own album productions on song oriented compositions, suitable for home listening rather than the dance floor. the djs and ravers have been kept busy with remixes of his original versions - but for this new release, kasper turns his own full attention to the business of making people move. fountain of youth is a mini-lp drawing on kaspers 15 years immersed in club culture and inspired by some of the genres he plays in his own dj sets around the world, house, classic electro, post disco and techno.

weval beziehen ihre inspiration nicht aus einem einzelnen musikalischen genre, sondern eher aus einer akkumulation von musik, die sie inspiriert. die ergebnisse zeichnet eine beeindruckend kohärente vision aus, aufnahmen wie das dramatische the battle, der bassknurrer i dont need it oder die trip-saga madness teilen diesselbe dna aus schwungvoller nostalgie, einer schwäche für immersive klangschnitzerei und einer gewissen delle im groove. sie nähren sich auch aus zutiefst persönlichen erfahrungen und stimmungen, wie zum beispiel bei der eindringlichen elektronischen ballade youre mine, dem vorsichtig geschichteten, polaroid-gefärbten just in case oder dem wunderschön gesungenen schlussakt years to build. und manchmal ist es nur ein altes, verstimmtes klavier, das im flur herumsteht: immer wenn ich dran vorbei lief, musste ich darauf herumklimpern, erklärt merijn, also wurde es ein zentraler bestandteil von you made it (part i). kein zweifel: dies ist wevals stärkstes und organischstes material bisher, was durchaus was bedeutet, wenn man das talent bedenkt welches bereits in schmalen, doch gewichtigen portfolio der band steckt.

henry street (named after brooklyn homeboy johnny’s neighbourhood) always had a ‘newyork’ vibe, and even when drawing its producers from further afield, the label encapsulated the city’s melting-pot of talent and raw, bristling energy... energy captured here, and exploding off these remasteredt racks like it’s 1999 all over again!so... dust off those dancing shoes, and get ready to feel the heat, it’s one more time for the henry street hustle!

jessy lanza s second album oh no is inspired by japanese 80s electro outfit yellow magic orchestra’s philosophy of experimental pop. playfully laced with cascading arpeggios, crispy drum machines and breezy songs, oh no has an infectious energy that has carried over from her live shows.
made in her hometown of hamilton, ontario, with production partner jeremy greenspan from junior boys, the plaintive, reverb drizzled mood of the first album has all but given away to a more direct, confident and joyful album. as jessy says ‘i want to make people feel good and i want to make myself feel good’

faraway reach casts classixx’s young-but-nostalgic melodies and sublime chords in a more mature, restrained light, albeit no less lively and bright. establishing themselves as producers of note on their debut lp (pitchfork called them “great songwriters, too”), faraway reach delivers powerfully smooth and soulful jewels that are still decidedly their own - the classixx signature is one that can’t be traced. their love of plaintive voices and disco-inspired grooves is as evident as ever, but this time around everything is a bit bolder, the cast is bigger, the melodies distilled into a higher potency - it’s all just as good, but better. “on the first record, we wanted to include only people that were our friends, and have it be really personal…” david begins, a thought blake finishes: “this time we wanted to make a record with a lot of different kinds of vocals, to see if we could be the common thread.” the album traverses locales, vocalists and inspirations. it s a fitting movement for the duo, from venice beach to the mountains of south africa and everywhere in between - a faraway reach.
the double vinyl release includes a download code.

ok, we have to admit that we could not resist to include -chances are your dance is mine on our latest feeling nice 3 compilation album before re-releasing it on 7inch. despite the fact that the original 45 is already quite in demand in collector circles we are sure that there are many people out there who have never heard about rickey andrews. much more important for us is that this re-issue is a welcome opportunity for the not-so-rich music lovers who do not spend hundred of $$$ for vintage vinyl records. thats our mission and that s what rickey andrews and his music definitely deserves.

little labelshowcase on the newest lossless record outbound.1 and again they show us why we have so much hope in them. neil flynn, sbth and anthony georges patrice are definitely a team for the future.

every few years in the genre of hip hop there comes an album that gracefully, yet unapologetically steers clear of the redundantly trodden path that so many artist become accustomed to walking. such bravery is often rewarded by the art gods, this time is no exception as uk born , new jersey emcee cymarshall law & hungarian producer mr. joeker team up for the 3rd time and bring you the masterful, hip hop in the soul 3, the first in the series featuring krs-1 , this time a colorful bunch of guests are invited. cymarshall law weaves in and out of different song topics that have rarely been touched if at all effortlessly as his lyrical prowess has yet again moved forward in innovative and original way. the mcs refusal to “ walk in a straight line” is refreshing in a way that lets you know some artists still value originality and crafting a skill of their own. mr. joeker steps forward to prove he is a true gem in the form of a super producer. the production here raises the bar boom bap reigns supreme, though mr. joeker shows great range by taking us into new musical dimensions of his own creation, the result is hip hop in it’s purest , rawest form with a new school twist, an album that by all means will wake many people up to take notice, as this duo is finally putting the soul back into hip hop.

about a year ago nico stojan and acid pauli met at the studio to record some music. while doing so they discovered their common love for sample based production. so they were basically digging into old vinyls and eventually these three tracks came along. nothing more to say, but enjoy. call of the valley is the first release on the new label ouie: there has been a shift in this tiny piece of massive world and, like all other shifts, they are documented by those who were there. ouie is the label to do just that, created by the people who were there, making those shifts.

lakker were commissioned by the re:vive initiative to create a new conceptual work solely sampling field recording, tv and radio broadcasts from the dutch national av archive, the netherlands institute for sound and vision. the curated material provided all related to and was representative of the theme the “dutch and water”.

the vinyl lp includes a download code.

koehler returns to berceuse heroique with his third release for the label. contra blood invokes the spirit of early no u turn records, infusing some techno dynamics, creating a very interesting anthem for people who don’t care about boundaries in dance music. flammarion breach combines his classic ‘ardcore techno sound with a repetitive arpeggio that recalls the tension of some of the best film scores by john carpenter. with rotating rupees, koehler delivers another beautiful ambient tune and this time its his ode to zelda.

the expanders new album *hustling culture* is the band s third studio album, but for the band members feels like their first proper album as a cohesive unit.
