Kevin Knapp & Mat.Joe - Down For This (Dirty Channels Remix)

Max Chapman & W.L.D - Do That

Waifs & Strays - Just don't Know

Always at the top of their game, Hot Creations this time call upon Toronto’s Nathan Barato for the next release on the label. The unique and fresh sounding ‘Everytime I See You’ is a real groover with a low slung bassline creating deep swing and flow with the vocals from Room 303 taking it to the next level. Brazilian Volkoder is first to remix, picking up the pace for the dance floor he adds a new killer bassline, stripping down the vocal but holding onto the groove. Last up Drumcode favourite Nicole Moudaber brings her techno touch to the release with her remix making this a wholly satisfying package indeed.

A Toronto favourite, Nathan Barato has been a staple of the city’s underground scene for over 15 years. He began as a young pup, rolling with legends like Peter & Tyrone, playing at clubs such as Industry, Mad Bar and System Soundbar. His talent eventually progressed him into residencies at The Guvernment, Stereo Nightclub, and Footwork, as well as his own night, “Weird Science” at the long-standing and legendary Comfort Zone. His releases can be found on the likes of Rekids, Cajual, Moda Black, Saved Records and his own Roots & Wings.

Producer since the age of 16 years old, Volkoder has produced music for major labels such as Kittball, Material, Snatch! Records, Street King among many others. His music has been championed by Jamie Jones and Lee Foss and they are happy to have him onboard the label.

Nigerian-born Lebanese star Nicole Moudaber is a force to be reckoned with who climbed the ranks with the likes of Carl Cox as a mentor. Last year she released her debut album on Adam Beyer’s Drumcode which was Number 1 for a month on the Beatport techno, tech house and deep house lists. Touring all over the world last year she played for the likes of Marco Carola’s Music On and played the final set at Space closing party.

'Belgian producer Mickey makes music that's just like his country's chocolate: sweet, smooth and oh-so-enticing. Last year's Exploited releases 'LA Anyway' and 'Holding Hands', especially the latter, are exactly that, not forgetting the stunning 'Sweet Baby' and remixes of Sébastien Tellier and Claptone.
Another Exploited release, 'You Know The Beat', is coming this month and it's a lively, juicy fruit slab of bumpin' house. This guy's roll ain't ending any time soon by the sound of things.' (Mixmag)

'This irresistable piece of funked up house music comes from one of our favourite artists, Mickey. Always delivering freshness, Exploited team up with him again for another unbeatable release. We love this track and will be playing it all year, ideal for brightening up a dreary winter’s day!' WORD UP.' (Deephouse London) 

'The general trend in house music as of late has been a bit on the dark side but it doesn’t mean that the best music has been in that territory. Top pick of the week is by the Belgian producer simply known as Mickey who is back on Exploited with this disco-funk jam called “You Know The Beat”.' (Magnetic Magazine)

Featured on upcoming DJMag Selection 01 Compilation + early support by BBC Radio1/Danny Howard, dOP, Erol Alkan, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Martin Landsky, Laurent Garnier, Tensnake, Riva Starr, ZDS, Arthur Baker, Miguel Campbell, DJ T, Sasha, Bag Raiders, Wildkats, Kasper Bjoerke, Waifs & Strays, Noir, Mia Dora, Laidback Luke, Sonny Fodera, James Curd, Moodymanc, Pezzner, Kyodai, Nils Nuernberg, Crackazat, Brett Johnson, Compuphonic, James Curd, PJU, Jamie Anderson, Sinden, Phonique, Khan, Smash TV. 

Mickey starts the New Year with another great anthem. 'You Know The Beat' is a mixup of 90ies French House, combined with a classic old school American House Vibe and Groove. Think Cassius meets Todd Terry. 

We saw Mickey, as a newcomer, growing on the label Exploited. His releases 'Sweet Baby', 'Holding Hands' and 'Walk Away' are topping our label's bestsellers of the year 2014. His track 'Sweet Baby' was among the Top 10 best selling tracks at Beatport in the genre Deephouse. Next to his Belgian residency at the infamous 'Libertine Supersport' nights, he travels all over the world to rock the crowd with his energetic DJ sets.

He just finished a remix for Australian 'Modular Label‘ stars 'Bag Raiders' and is currently in London working on his next single.

Mickey - You Know The Beat (Preview) | Exploited

Montel is not a new face in our family, he has already shocked us with a great podcast and a massive remix. Now it´s Montel´s time to show us what he really got! “New York Limits” is the name that the Irish producer has chosen for the 15th Roush reference, including two original cuts from the man himself, both paying tribute to the historic sounds of the Big Apple. In “The Limit” and “New York has changed”, we find catchy old school house recalling 90´s hip hop sounds. To complete this banger release, we find the English duo System2 and our dearest friend Julien Sandre taking over the remixing duties. 

Montel - New York Has Changed (Julien Sandre Remix)

Until 2010 @hauswerks (aka Colin Barrat) was one of the unsung heroes of underground dance music in the UK, engineering for many established names including Doorly, Mark Knight, Daley Padley, Sonny Wharton and more.

This past couple of years has seen Hauswerks become established as an artist in his own right, delivering a volley of releases on the ever rising UK based label Moda Black, and cementing himself as one of their core artists.

With a string of releases throughout 2014 on labels including Moda Black, Resonance Records, Suara, and Toolroom - 2015 sees Hauswerks adding VIVa MUSiC Limited to this impressive roster with three no-nonsense house workouts primed for the dancefloor.

Previous releases from Hauswerks have found support from industry heavy-weights and new-school acts alike, including Steve Lawler, Todd Terry, Seth Troxler, Hot Since 82, Doorly, Skream, Route 94, and Disclosure.

VA - 10 Years Part I will be released on February 16th on Beatport and vinyl.

1. Anonym – Midnight Hour 
2. Premiesku – Orchestra De Calculatoare 
3. Livio & Roby – Machiner 
4. Mathias Kaden – Deep & Wise 
5. DeWalta – Rewind 
6. Sons of Tiki – Loraine 
7. Tolga Fidan – Cam Kale 

So here I am.. after having forced Vakant’s artists to write their own press releases a few years ago, since I think this has a more personal approach besides that everyone is tired of the usual press blurbs, I do not get around to draft something for this 10 Years Vakant compilation by myself. 

10 Years is a long time and I will refrain to summarize this in a text. This is not a summary but rather a statement where the label stands today in early 2015. The music you hear went through a process of joy, pain, armwrestling, threats and relief and shows our idea of contemporary club music. 14 new and previously unreleased tracks of the 14 artists I (still) work with closely, some from the first year of Vakant’s existence and some who just joined recently. 

Very happy to see this finally coming out, with music that still makes me shuffle in my kitchen after all these years. Thank you guys for all that inspiring and sometimes frightening stuff and thanks to you who at least read this until here if not spent some time with our music in your very own past.
