a landmark house record to kick of this series. a very important release and produced by ron hardy - one of the most important djs at the time and instrumental in shaping the (chicago) house sound. real body music! this ep was released in 1985 and is one of the earlier trax releases (th 109). it remains one of the hardest to get and most in demand trax releases. originals go for over 100 dollars and even the late 90s repress is expensive, let alone the original limited edition white vinyl. we are happy have this available again in its full glory and remastered. first 300 copies will be white vinyl in tribute to the original

third ep from the talented nebraska on rush hour... after the two variation eps, a weekend of my own brings us four strong house tracks.side a features the deeper tracks. the lush soho grand oozes a touch of magic, while the snappier >a weekend of my own< has perfect late night drive to it. side b opens with the disco-fied >time has come pt. 1<. this is peak-time business. the same can certainly said of >masala dosa<, this infectious jazz groove rides on a finger snapping bounce. bam! for fans of rick wade, theo parrish, trusme et al

the voyage continues. after dropping his debut album voyage direct, tom trago now drops two favorites from his live set. side a is an extended disco version of use me, morphing in to and out of the original like butter. clocking over 8 minutes use me again becomes somewhat a modern take on the original disco version. its got enough drive to make a dance floor go crazy. side b meanwhile is an exclusive from his live set. here he strips the classic >over & over< to the minimum before sliding into the original groove only for a moment, only to continue to ride the rhythm again. proper club business

after releasing tevo howards >move< hhyr is back with more music from the howard family. this release sees tevo producing his father rick howard again. after working together on the first beautiful granville release about fourteen / without your love, the duo returns with the >i wont lay back<. vocal chicago house just as we llike it deep and raw! i wont lay back is possibly the best track they have worked on so far. comes as original and underground mix. the b-side features a remix of about fourteen. classic stuff! raw and dirty house music. when music is this good, let there be renaissance! our house is your rush!

rush hour is proud to present a compilation of anthony shake shakirs best work from his own frictional label (and some choice output from 7th city) over the past 15 years. this limited edition 4x12 inch set comes with an exclusive two track 7 inch (only available with this pack). released 2 months in advance of the 3cd/digital formats…
the label shake started brought us some of the deepest, funkiest and most diverse techno of its time and has been surprisingly overlooked by many. after a few years hiatus, shake is now back and will be recording and releasing on frictional again soon.
this compilation includes all of the classics like >arise<, >frictionalized<, >get a feeling<, >my computer is an optimist<, >the floor filler< as well as an unreleased track >the other one<. all tracks have been carefully re-mastered, breathing new life into the original recordings.

dark adaption is rondenions second ep for rush hour and we are pleased to have him back! the freestyle disco cut-up sun glare nicely sets the mood here and is a must have for detroit house lovers. blue canal shows a deeper side of rondenion. a bluesy, mid tempo groove that sticks. the title track gives way to, well, rondenions darker side.. a hypnotic and mean cut that really builds, reminds us theo parrishs rawer tracks. banging!

more chicago tracks find its way on the hhyr label. this time the talented tevo howard (of beautiful granville records fame) debuts on the label with a classic sounding track >move<. tevo blesses us with two versions of this jacking track. >move< comes as original and an even rawer acid mix. with this release tevo confirms that he is one of the most prominent chicago house producers today.

classic detroit house alert! rick wilhites >godson ep< originally got released on moodymanns kdj label in 1997 and was never repressed… until now. all tracks got remastered and this release includes a bonus unreleased moodymann remix. check that original detroit house vibe.. big release!

mark grusane and mike cole are better known as the owners of mr peabodys records (store) in chicago. this track was taken from the primitive house trax cd they put out in small numbers. this early nineties track very much reminds us of the true chicago house sound… raw and sweaty! this will be available as a special limited edition.

ltd repress !!! 3 stretched out and beefed-up edits of tracks that originally appeared as skits on the brilliant rockwell records label...tried and tested on the dancefloors of amsterdam - these are sure fire head rockers/ankle flexers!! >kutparra< is a contagious banger that makes you want to jump, like kriss kross used to do. >kutwell< comes as a catchy discofied house tune that reminds us of some detroit productions some years back.. this stays from though! >nosestep< finishes off in true aardvarck style.. a stripped down track with a bassline to kill for… bare essentials

italian producer (born in lecce), now located in berlin making his rh debut! known for his balihu release from 2008... sweet melodic italian disco / house.. this 12inch will also include a marco & orpheo remix...

oh yes! the long awaited return of ibex aka tony ollivierra. we always loved his dj slym fas (intangible) and ibex (planet e) releases and now he is back to do his thing for rush hour!
this includes three joyful house tracks of which 350 comes in vocal and instrumental version. reminds us of his earlier planet e stuff. its also reminiscent of early recloose stuff. lets leave it at essential detroit house music. welcome back ibex!

voyage direct is tom tragos long awaited follow up to his first ep on rush hour >live with the bbq<. this seven track mini-album shows his diversity within the genre. it reaffirms that house music can still be sexy, deep, raw, emotional and passionate. the package includes the promo released >passion< plus a host of new tracks. highlights could be the raw >on the side< or the swing of >brothers of string<, but in fact every track is a highlight in its own right. together they make this a complete package. a must have for any house connoisseur.

whoa! this is a solid remix ep of tracks taken off tom tragos voyage direct project. man of the moment motor city drum ensemble (mcde) cooks up a solid house remix of passion... very classy! on the flip yurotrago toughen up brothers of string into a hypnotic house builder. lastly, actress transforms lost in... into a classic detroit workout, reminiscent of infiniti or shake

snuff crew (playhouse / nature) sign up for the third release on hhyr. again in best tradition they come up with two old skool inspired chicago house tracks. where feel inside is a deeper journey, slam it is a straight up jacking affair. hhyr natives kink & neville watson remix feel inside into a dance floor monster... bass!

again four tracks that will surely make you swing. our favorite has always been my brother, a peak time disco jazz cut, which has made the disco floors erupt on many occasions. the original version of my father continues along those lines. off ramp and worldless narrative both are cool boogie tracks, which make up for another winner from nebraska. for fans of rick wade, theo parrish, trus me et al.

we say hello to an old acquaintance, who finalizes this limited series. the puzzle is complete and the aricebo message should be clear now. luckily fbas speaks loud and clear. two driving tracks that should fire up any galaxy. earth to space... here we are! this is part 12 of 12 in this series. collect them all.

killer 2 track ep with anthemic detroit / techhouse

ever since hearing the terrestrial variations ep and later the vicarious disco ep we have been big fans of nebraskas work. thats why we were happy and surprised at the same time when we found out he had an unreleased ep in his catalog...

fusing some weird italo-ish vibes together with some unmistakenly drexciyan influences this is a pretty unique release on rh! concepts often bring interesting results and this is no exception.. i think its going to be a real >love it or hate it< record. yurotrago take the track somewhere completely different, stretching it out on a different kind of vision. awesome deep and moody action for the floor. the packaging is awesome for this one

limited one sided promo edition, very phunky ,very 80s

amazing detroit tech phunk infected remixes by laurent garnier & kabale und liebe

the mysterious syrinx came to us out of nowhere. his tracks sound as if he has been around for a long time, maybe he has. we were pleasantly surprised with the standard of his music. deep, melancholic and building dub techno, just as we like it. though keeping the tradition alive (model 500, chain reaction etc), he does add his own vibe to this genre. nice! this is volume one out of two. both releases will come in matching artwork...
