welcome to the deeper end of the hugh mane spectrum.

crafted in the style of old school dancehall clashing, “veteran” is a mixture of classic heavyweight dancehall lyrics and a new school flow. the tune is set to be a timeless banger aiming to keep the dancehall massive rocking and swinging day and night. inspired by the riddim and sounds of blind prophet, clinton sly is ready to run the sound system! slowing down the tempo to 120bpm, blind prophet delivers a heavy dose of dubwise for the b-side. “hugh dub” starts off with a mutated vocal and quickly drops into a tuff steppers riddim. a distorted bassline and thumping kick drive the track. accompanied by plucked guitars, organ skanks and dub fx it’s a sound system stomper for sure!

the chisa years: 1965–1975 (rare and unreleased) is a compilation album by south african jazz trumpeter hugh masekela. the album consists of 14 rare or forgotten tracks recorded by stewart levine and hugh masekela from 1965 to 1975 when they ran their own chisa records label. thom jurek of allmusic wrote “in sum, there isn’t a weak moment on this entire collection. it’s appeal is wide and deep and one can only hope this is the first of many volumes of this material to appear. bbe records has done a stellar job in making this slab available.” dan nishimoto of the prefix magazine stated “the compilation focuses on masekela’s original idea of “african american music.” from the early experiments of the zulus (a group featuring m’bulu) in mixing doo-wop, rhythm & blues and south african gospel and the mbaqanga/”grazing in the grass”-style work of the generically named johannesburg street band to the clearly fela-influenced ojah (masekela’s band in the mid-’70s, consisting of players from ghana and nigeria) and the readyfor-primetime belting of m’bulu, each track reveals a multi-pronged effort to find and challenge the notion(s) of how african and american cultural forms could interact.”

adult contemporary welcomes u.k. s mark gilbert as hugh mane via his adopted home base, oslo. three impressive, punchy and amazingly produced songs adorn this release. like us, you will become a real sucka for the title track, -real sucker for your love-. this buoyant live performance was built around a sequenced bass line and really drives the kids crazy. we guarantee that over time all the three songs will rotate as the favorite at one point or another. side note: they sound amazing at home, at the beach and in the club. early supporters include kcrw 89.9fm los angeles, dj harvey, bill brewster, lovefingers, nick the record.

after kicking things off with sean thomas’ (cop envy) the weigh, sydney’s outer time inner space return with a collaborative ep from jon watts, the kind-hearted, go-to sound engineer of the sydney club and experimental music scene and otis label owner, hugh burridge (aka hubert clarke jr). as resident djs for otis’ sweet echoes parties and guests for some of sydney’s more open-minded club promoters, jon & hugh have developed their own style of warm up set, largely unrestrained by genre. another view is just an extension of this open approach to club music. there’s an obvious ode to bukem’s good looking records, a lopsided mpc jam that could have been written by a drunk ron trent, a club roller with uk broken beat at it’s heart and a spaced out, dream-scape dub from melbourne mate, rings around saturn (dan white) to round out the ep. the common thread, they’re keeping it deep.

music of color proudly presents its first offering from none other than the breakthrough artist duke hugh. the approaching lights ep compiles four undeniable offerings, each standing on its own, and provides another glimpse into to the mind of the eclectic and versatile dutch producer. on the intimate opener „a new beginning“ duke hugh opens up a dreamy state. with singing strings it s hauntology at its core. following this emotional ambient treasure, title track „approaching lights“ goes in with a steady 4/4 groove before decomposing through lush chords into a bassline monster that begs for attention in the dark hours. brightening up the b-side, „burning up“ is prime time material with sticky keys, sharp hi-hats and playful basslines. but it’s the final head-nod heater „broken samba“ which makes this ep such an undeniable no-brainer. led by latin percussion and stumbling drums it sounds like duke hugh pays homage to broken beat maestros without ever loosing his own sound signature. rhodes, synth-sweeps and guitar sprinkles make the ingredients for a funk opus that leaves you with a smile while leaving the night behind. can you see the light? limited first pressing in screenprinted cover with holy water gin infused color! edition of 500 early support from alexander nut, bradley zero, red greg, sassy j, thristian, delfonic, contours, hodini, borut cvajner…

duke hugh launches la freund recording s soundwaves into the air by serving up five steady 4/4 tracks with references to the eglo crew and henry wu ready to hit the club.

bradley met duke hugh in amsterdam, when he handed him a green usb stick after a show. he played the promos in the empty club and the first track immediately grabbed his attention - he knew it was something special. when he remembered the hook to green leaf the next morning he signed the release almost instantly. each song has its own essence, there is absolutely no filler and the entire double pack sits together as a perfect whole. flirting with aspects of broken beat, jazz, hip hop and dreamy electronica - duke hugh winds together a most idiosyncratic release equally at home on the peak time dancefloor as it would be for a long road trip. canvas is a big statement from an artist who s here to stay.

the return of hugh mane! this time its not a dusted house music dat, but a collection of canny compositions that leave you feeling like you have spent an evening with ashra taking es at ku, you get heart-breakers, slow-motion ravers, melodies of love and lots of drama. dont you dare to say the b-word!

system status (david rendal) caught our attention in 2012 with his self released pistachio ep. his production stood out to us instantly and his musicality shows through in his compositions. tusk wax, giles peterson & ashley beadle have all been paying attention to his work over the last few year and this ep was an opportunity for us to introduce another one of his tracks to the dance floor.

made in the basement of an old tram station circa 1990 in a town that was probably london, hugh manes first and only release so far consists of hidden gems on a vintage dat.

another grandios 12 inch from the untz untz records guys with a top notch remix package. this time its a hometown affair with all artist being from bergen, norway. so what is this then? is it house? is it prog? is it (dear we say it) almost trance? honestly we are not sure, but we know that it is balancing that magical thin red line somewhere in-between there and that it sounds powerful.

paul gerdner & hugh gunnel remixed by plastik funk, hagenaar e albrecht, houseshaker and mish mash for maximum club action.

hugh gunnell & paul gardner with their electro house mover >your love<, known from the hed kandi summer sampler 2008

amazing atmospheric minimal !! this new 12 is a guy names hugh like who drops a great alienating track called >content. nice confident sounding track that is somewhere between minimal and house. nice classy build up and use of a violin makes this a track that really stands out and breaks with the standard techno formula without being akward. very dark and futuristic... would function very well as a sound track for a science fiction movie!.the other two tracks are in the same line and make this an outstanding forward thinking release! after being around on wite label for some time we received great reaction from guys like luciano, garnier, ivan smagghe, craig richards, michel de hey, mark august and others

if this were an episode of the game show jeopardy and the following track titles represented an answer, the correct question would undoubtedly be what is a huge hephner ep?. after his highly successful debut (booty drop ep) on siteholder uncut, as well as various remix projects, the funk slut himself returns with his virgin vinyl effort for siteholder records. following what he calls a highly inspirational trip to the strip clubs and whorehouses of las vegas, hephner took his sexual adventures and turned them into an ep that couples ass-shaking funk with in-your-face bass. it seems that his pimpin escapades have finally found an outlet that wont land him in jail, but instead on some of the sickest sound systems our planets nightclubs have to offer

excellent funky house cover of shawn christopher

uh hugh, this side of the record is a story that tells its self. dirt mixed with crunchy melody and excitement, makes this mix of bouncing bubbly blobs an irresistible must have. low end sub loving bass lines and analogue riffs all together with a voice that tells it like it is >uh hugh<. this side also holds the fort as far as the oldschool is concerned. deep, lush and full on non stop madness. jump in and roll in it. viography. this vibrant electro pumper is another one of pig&dan s more positive good time tracks that has made the duo name more present in the boxes of the less techno orientated dj s. it s feel and vibe still hold the electronic imprint to be expected of their previous works, but with a melodic edge that is unique and has a smile appeal that reaches peaks of musical bliss. this production has its little twists that give it an acid vibe and a feel which was present in the oldshool
