house masterpiece

deep house, balearic, ambient

detroit house!

great reggie dokes output on we play house!

raw house business for more theo parrish or ron hardy styled slam dancing damage

things tend to move in circles until they are complete. such is the case with wph ten-8. when fcl released their ‘cherry pie e.p.’ on kai alcé’s ndatl label it was already decided that kai alcé would find a home on wph as well. and with his absolutely stunning string of remixes of recent years in mind it made sense to ask kai to take up remix duties for a new fcl release. . the result is a release that oozes soul all over. the original track is fcl’s ‘let’s make a track and have great singers aka lady linn and gustaph singing about house music’-moment and kai’s remix is…well…simply another amazing slice of soul from the man that can do no wrong. it’s house music…as you should know it.

when wph boss red d heard toriton being played by ken ishii during a wph radio takeover on belgiums studio brussel radio station he ran to the booth and knew this track had wph written all over it. not abiding to any trends, just devastatingly beautiful house music. some licence negotiations and months later satoshi fumi agreed and made lalalalaland, a brand new track to go along with toriton and make up this ep the title track has that unmistakable detroit feel that takes you from melancholy to euphoria and back, while lalalalaland has been described by people hearing it in red ds sets this summer as japanese sunset trance or end of the night eyes closed hands in the air stuff. whatever the words, its the music that counts and satoshi fumi takes his place among the wph family in style!

the label say: what is soul really? the answer to that is a various as the music that claims it. we here at wph hq do not know the answer either, but we do know an exceptional piece of music when we hear it. enter fabrice lig, belgian techno legend with his roots in our little country and his ears definitely in that place called detroit.

its been some 7 years since reggie dokes was last seen & heard on a wph release, so safe to say this one is long overdue. our detroit hero took a bit of a hiatus from music production in recent years, but he is back and has been cooking up some serious heat. on wph 004 one of the tracks received a slight edit treatment by fcl and so red d decided it would be a nice twist to do the same on this one. but seeing as san soda was globe-trotting again red d handled the edit duties solo. which is all academics really, because in the end its about reggies unique detroit sound. transpose & jazz is my mistress will appeal to any adventurous dance music dj because they cannot be categorized or compared to anything. they are reggie dokes tracks and reggie dokes tracks are what they are: reggie dokes tracks

the label says just think moodymann meeting floating points and mcde with an akai mpc on the table in front of them and a vast record collection within reach.

this one has been in the making for a loooong time and we do believe you will agree it was worth the wait. tj kong has been releasing some serious vocal house masterpieces over the past year on compost and other labels of fame, so it was only a matter of time before they ended up on wph. when it comes to vocals few do it better than gustaph, the belgian lead vocalist of hercules & love affair and a close friend of the wph family. inside story: gustaph provided non-credited (but paid) backing vocals for fcl’s ‘it’s you’ stormer. with tj kong gustaph takes up the role of both lyrics writer and vocalist and does so to devastating effect in absolute perfect unison with the track provided by tj kong & modular k. it’s classic but very very fresh. on the flipside tj kong & modular k team up with french wonderboy art of tones aka llorca for a trip into house music stabs & strings bliss. if the dream is always the same, we do hope this is the one you are re-dreaming. wph ten-3, niceness to the max!

its album time on wph! metrobox has cooked us up a collection of original, mindblowing, swinging and most of all beautiful tracks ranging from total dancefloor devastation to introspective journeys. exactly what an album should be like if you ask us

its, album time on wph! metrobox has cooked us up a collection of original, mindblowing, swinging and most of all beautiful tracks ranging from total dancefloor devastation to introspective journeys. exactly what an album should be like if you ask us.

with our regular 12” series both coming to end some people thought that wph would end as well. you should’ve known better, because there is too much gorgeous music coming from our small wph family to just let other labels shine with it. and so we have decided to throw caution into the wind and embark on a new story. a story in which our artists get to tell their story by means of a full album. at the heart of metrobox’ sound is a love for moog, 909 and sh 101 sounds, combined with a knack for seductive melodies and a healthy dose of vocal action. two collaborations with wph head honcho red d and belgian mc champ tlp add some extra oldskool flavor to the proceedings. and yes, we are well aware of the fact that double or triple albums are heavy on your budget and that you all prefer to shell out 15 euro for a one-sided limited detroit release instead of a 12” with three tracks you like ... so this album will come in three separately available 12”s, giving you complete buyer freedom.

wph ten-2 follows…wph ten-1! sometimes life can be really simple. so now, the music. vintage dynamodyse (who is also srf inc of course, with some help from his friends) is what you are getting here. but seeing as our deep man from cologne isnt exactly the most famous producer on the block, well just remind you by saying that the music is deep house that has absolutely nothing to do with what all techsters and hipsters have been calling deep house. just listen and play the f..ck out of these two!

we here at wph are not ones to celebrate each and every significant number in our history. we do not even consider numbers to be that significant. but what we do believe is that every story has its ending and that every ending should come with a bang. and so we have decided that the regular wph series and the coloured vinyl-only series will come to an end together with one last release. we breing you a collection of three of our most wanted tracks with a little bonus thrown in ... we suggest you go really oldskool and buy double copies of this one, because you will want to play these back to back!

reissue of a unknown b-side of an early belgian trance outfit release. before they made euro trance they made this heavenly balearic gem. it screamed for lauer remixes and he provided…
unless you have been sleeping it should be pretty obvious that wph head honcho red d has a weak spot for early belgian trance stuff. before trance was even known as trance that is… the early 90ies were the post new beat era in belgium and loads of producers were experimenting with new sounds to steer away from the blatantly commercial new beat chart stuff. so that is when the magic started happening.

the wph vinyl only coloured series that started back in 2009 with san sodas purple ep.has ran out of colours. there is one more edition in that series coming your way, but thats for somewhere in the spring.

every wph summer brings us…the wph summer special! well, some summer specials have been known to be released in the winter, with huge acclaim from the cold masses who had something to warm their hearts and souls to. so we figured we would release another summer special in the winter… the mysterious-but-not-really harry baldi kicks things off with ‘something for your mind’, a sample-ridden up tempo house workout that will also go down a treat on techno floors. solid yamaha bass anyone? up next we introduce a new belgian member to the wph family. dj miclem has quietly been working on his music and now it’s time to let some of it out of the studio and onto your decks. this is the vintage wph sound that got us on the map!

wph kicks off 2015 with a new e.p. by the mighty luv jam from wales. living in a universe that is entirely his own andrew cole has cooked up two more of his ‘especially for wph’-tracks. one here at wph hq can only be flattered! ‘californian freestyler’ is the more peak time burner of the two, but ‘bmx bandito’ will not disappoint the more discerning punters out there either. on remix duty we find the main artist from our friends at uncanny valley in dresden, jacob korn. any work by jacob is always a treat and this here is no exception. flexing our digging talents we have also licensed a luv jam remix from the good people at panta rhei that was only released on limited 7”. we feel it deserved to be on a 12”, so there.

responsible for the still stunning wph 006 in the early days of the label, we are very very happy to have russ gabriel back on board for another stunning e.p. three original tracks and one remix by label boss red d and his young buck kiani & his legion, both huge fans of russ gabriels work old and new. fact: red d has the most extensive vinyl collection of russ gabriel music in belgium and beyond.

much has been said about fcls remake of the e.s.p. classic from 1986 its you, up to the point where everybody was wondering what the boys would come up with next.

fourth and final chapter in wphs tribute to belgian new beat. this time four belgians and one german deliver their take on new beat..

nice price deal, only standard cover !!! wph 021 hails the return of spains nacho marco, who was responsible for wph 010 together with raoul lambert. for his wph comeback our valencia kid has teamed up with the vocal talents of aqeel, bringing you the acidic soul masterpiece *open*. think deetron on a dark day! on remix duty we find young wph buck kiani & his legion who came up with two remix versions. his basement remix will go well info any levon vincent set and his normal version is vintage kiani. that says it all really, vintage kiani, after just 6 tracks officially released. raw belgian talent at its very best!

can the ugliness of the colour be more in contrast with the beauty of the tracks as is the case on wph brown? decide for yourself, but were sorry the rainbow colours were all out

in the long line of belgian talent finding a home on wph (think san soda, lemakuhlar, metrobox, locked groove, …) we are pretty sure that kiani & his legion (aka thomas neyens) will claim his rightful place within a couple releases. because just like the other family members kiani has his very own distinct sound. totally kiani and also totally wph. kiani & his legion should have already caught your attention with his free *records & culture* vinyl in wphs v.i.p. series and he was also responsible for *legions of the east* on the recent wph summer special 2013. being a vinyl lover himself it seemed fitting that we release his full e.p. debut on vinyl only (grey coloured & marbled), containing four tracks that will show you the full spectrum of his house music universe. the key words in that universe are melody, breakdowns, surprise and emotion. it is pointless to describe the tracks one by one, simply listen, enjoy and most of all…dance!

wph 019 brings us art of tones with lauer remixes. art of tones is of course the much-praised aka of llorca, has long since moved on from his f-communications days and is without a doubt one of the finest and most accomplished house music producers of our time. but we digress, because isnt this all about the music?

after take 1 comes take 2, it sometimes really is that simple. together with the pre-take that came out before the summer this third volume in wphs our beat is still new project completes the 12 tracks that form the album. more members of the core wph family are on board here, but we also welcome some newcomers to the label.

after the pre-take before the summer, wph brings you take 1 in its tribute to the biggest belgian electronic music heritage…new beat! four new killer cuts by a 100% wph family line up, also welcoming long-time friend aril brikha to the family.... this is part 2 of a 4 part vinyl set

nice price deal !!! new we play house summer special. tracks by kiani & his legion, metrobox and a remix of fcl by david morales.

its been a long time cooking and coming wph brings you a tribute to the biggest belgian electronic music heritage new beat!

the 19th release on we play house recordings (not counting the vinyl-only coloured ones) comes from two trusted label names: wph s welsh man with various plans luv jam and srf inc, a moniker for german wunderkind dynamodyse.

slightly off the normal wph track (is there such a track?) this is pure dancefloor madness for any dj playing house, minimal, techno or any other kind of nonsensical sub-genre name

so here it is ... and it has been a long time coming: metrobox makes his full debut on wph. after collaborating vocals on last years >red d meets vol 1< metrobox has been working hard to create an e.p. that is totally wph. and boy has he delivered!

new slightly off season various artist release! the label say: >after last years summer special in the winter it looks like the calendar at wphs hq is up to par again! luckily so is the music, as this edition of the summer special series focuses on three tracks that were about to get lost in the ever-growing jungle of digital only releases. but like a true dr livingstone red d set out to find these babies a home on vinyl, so here we are!<

new san soda on we play house... tip!

when dynamodyse made his debut on wph back in 2009 he struck a chord (pun intended) with lovers of emotional deep house worldwide. hailing from dortmund, mathias matze schmitt is a special character that immediately fit the bunch of wph nutters, so it was only a matter of time before he would be back with a second release. which incidentally will be his second release ever, which goes to show how much he trusts wph and how much wph trusts dynamodyse.

follow up ep to fcls succesful vocals for everyone ep. three house tracks followed by a more balearic remix by arto mwambe! laurent garnier: back is awesome will hammer this everywhere!

a summer special? in the winter? well yes, why not? the wph summer special 2010 is the stuff of discogs legends by now, so we figured wed do this again: a split label release between we play house recordings and lany recordings with very good music.

canadian house sensation jeremy glenn with a killer 4 tracker! tip!

wph head honcho red d begins his new production collaboration series.... the label say here is your summer present from wph! four storming house tracks with that wph >oldskool in a new way< feel, the result of a couple of mad studio sessions at the lemakuhlar studio in landegem…now where the f*ck is that? near deinze of course…duh… the (un)usual suspects involved: lemakuhlar, social disco club, red d, metrobox and theres even some 20 seconds of san soda genius in one of the tracks. if you can find it, write the answer on a homing pigeon and win an eternal supply of wph love.
