documenting their triumphant royal albert hall performance - the the return with the ultimate comeback experience. pressed on triple 180 gram vinyl, housed in a tri-fold sleeve.

disco royal music returns after a 2 years break, delivering another powerful techhouse tune - remixes comefrom jose m & tacoman (inmotion music, trapez, moan....) and label boss aldo cadiz.special marbled vinyl release!

as the rumors tell, this obscure piece of music was arranged by three acquaintances, who, by mere coincidence, formed a spontaneous, poly-toxic think tank one marvellous sunday morning, celebrating the beauty of old house music, while at the same time mocking the somehow cheap and predictable functionality of the four to the floor sound design. to honor the inspirational value of situations like these, the decision was made to share the result with a bigger audience. as a meta text, the lyrics form a tongue in cheek comment on nostalgic good old days aesthetics, and are simultaneously, and quite paradoxically, reminiscent of the utopian and transgressive vision of early house and techno music. if there is anything that we can retrieve from this vision today, it is the encouragement to create funny, pleasant and playful situations for ourselves and the like-minded, escaping the seriousness and boredom of the professionalized party and music business. and this is exactly the spirit, which is materialized on this piece of wax.

two years on from marius lauber aka roosevelt’s debut album, his sophomore effort young romance, released september 28, sees the dj, producer and vocalist break free from the dance floor and step out into the light, a transition he makes effortlessly as he asserts his place in the upper echelons of guitar and synth-pop royalty. having taken some time since his eponymous 2016 debut to tour tirelessly and pen remixes for chvrches, glass animals, rhye and more, this sophomore record began in his hometown of cologne before being finished in los angeles, where it was mixed by chris coady (beach house/grizzly bear/future islands). here, roosevelt covers the trials and tribulations of love, finding ‘home’, touring and losing touch, propelling himself into uncharted territory, both sonically and aesthetically.

incl. danger mouse, ennio morricone, steven price !

union is a newly born label from the uk that’s geared towards releasing electronic experimental music, infusing techno functionality with explorative synthesis and sonic manipulation. ran by pry and royal sun, the pair have a string of releases ready to drop across the next 12 months.
the labels inaugural release, ‘un-001’ is from label co-owner pry. pervaded with left field synthesis and melancholic melodic undertones, the release takes club conformity and combines it with electroacoustic experimentation. inspired by the everyday and the mundane, the artwork created by esteemed designer, alex mccullough creates a complimentary fusion alongside the record.

waxtefacts returns with another raw joint! real d and interstate are warming up with some sunny vibes while strip steve builds it up with some metallic hihats and passes it to dj storch - who create a royal ending on the b-side. another record which is yet to be loved.

limited nice price blow out !!

limited to 500 numbered copies on purple coloured & marbled vinyl.
there is not much information available about this mysterious release, but it looks like a sunken treasure has found its way to daylight: a crazy no-wavey-punk-funky jam by the artist formerly known as a guy from minneapolis. now available for the first time on 12 inch! pressed on purple vinyl with white marbling, this beautiful diamond comes along with three pearls: a re-mastered version of the original track, a cover version and a jackin house re-edit. we suspect that berlin based producer noema droped the crazy cover version and chicagos own jamie 3:26 rides the rhythm on the edità rumours..rumours..rumours

time to welcome ben sun to d.o.g with his incredible love momentum ep containing three tracks of the raw stuff to groove to. some may know ben sun from his previous releases on the brilliant voyeurhythm label, his own vinyl-only imprint distributed by clone which was established in 2009. others might have his remixes of reggie dokes on royal oak or deep space orchestra on boogie originals. whatever, this man is making serious waves right now and adds yet another feather in the collective cap of young antipodean producers making underground house music with their own unique and authentic approach.

small low profile run of this reggie dokes >until tomorrow< remix 12. a-side is done by serge who finally did hit the studio with his buddy gerd and played around a bit with the lovely original version. flip side is done by the talented ben sun (known for his tracks on the new voyeurhythm label). two fine house version approaching the original on two different ways. highly limited copies with simple black label and royal oak stamp.

welcome to the world of mysterious organist & producer dan electro. dan electro is a charming guy who lives very far away from the sytem of babylon. his music is out of time... it carries the reminiscence of a time when people played music simply for the love of it... his touch is magnetic, mystical and inspired. dan electro musics really got soul. but the man has a complex background... for a long time, he played bass for the slow slushy boys, a band that still performs today one of the best rooted rythm & blues around the world. dan electro finds a great part of his inspiration within the universe of geniuses like louis jordan, eddie kirk, the five royales and the barefoot gospel divas sister rosetta tharpe or winona carr... and he is still involved in music that talks to both your ass and your soul... with a preference for the first !
the lucky discovery of farley jackmaster funks >fix me< revealed dan electro the connections between black music at its core roots and contemporary house music. shortly after, he started producing some amazing tunes that felt like love affairs between old church organs and mad computers... sung by ageless preachers & divas. his music has been played by djs such as gilles peterson, joey negro, sumo, recloose, dj morpheus, spiritual south, nick v, michael rutten, rainer truby, nik weston, unabombers, erik rug, philarmonix, patchworks, stevie sole... radios as bbc 1, frequence jazz, xfm scotland, radio fg, compost radioshow... enjoy !

whilst not the first uk dance scene the mods had that covered – northern soul is the longest running. those northern clubbers who eschewed late 60s psychedelic fripperies for obscure old soul records with the requisite beat, couldnt have known what they started. after using up all the uk released sides they began digging in the united states and after nearly 50 years the northern soul scene has probably unearthed more great music than any other. all night long is our tribute to those pioneers and includes current in-demanders such as the sensations demanding man, classics by the chandlers and ernest mosley and a host of other dancefloor friendly masterpieces. all night long, can you feel that beat and extra added soul will be available on cd & double vinyl and are compiled by dj and award winning compiler dean rudland, with stunning artwork from his long-time collaborators the unknown. across the three volumes there are 60 tracks of soul, funk and boogie.

naoki e-jima s disc shop zero record store in tokyo holds a special place in our hearts. since before idle hands was even established, when rooted records was king, the cosy, liberally stocked shop has served as a sympathetic outpost for bristol s rich culture of soundsystem music. over the years, naoki has championed all the best music to come from our fair city, from smith & mighty through to pinch and pev and on to the output from our own humble label. it s been a vital connection to help our music reach the right heads on the other side of the world, in turn providing a platform for our most treasured artists to gig and further the cause of the music we love. as a thank you for all the support naoki has shown bristol music over the years, idle hands has put together a special tribute 10inch of tracks that chime with his particular musical tastes, shining a light on some complementary gems that might have otherwise never seen the light of day. its also a chance to fill in the missing idle013 catalogue number – fortunately, the number 13 does not represent bad luck in japanese culture. on the a-side, the mighty (pun intended) rob smith takes to a track from outboxx s debut album, originally intended for a remix 12inch that never came to be. in his learned hands, lost soul becomes a shimmering stepper marked out by beautiful cascading arpeggios and of course plenty of fulsome bass, with arresting fragments of vocal drifting in and out of the mix for good measure. rob s status as a true legend of bristol music needs no explanation, but his presence here is furthermore because naoki is such a fan of his music. on the b-side, atki2 makes a welcome return to the label after bringing a classic ray of sunshine to idle hands on the second single we ever put out. as well as being a big release for us, it was apparently huge at disc shop zero, so it feels right to bring the effervescent hes royal to this 10inch release. with a sunny disposition at heart, these two tracks make sense sharing a 10inch, but it s even more fitting that they sit side by side as we doff our caps to a true hero of the global underground. thanks, naoki.
