HOUSE

Written and produced by Mike Sharon & Sem Marini (2013) for Ultra Knites Productions.

Ultra Knites touch down with a highly anticipated debut EP for their brand new vinyl record label.  "Got To Release" has already been described as a future classic with its distinctive warm pads, vintage bassline and vocal hook while "NY Sleaz'd" is the choice track for peak time dancefloor destruction.  The B side takes things deeper underground providing variety with two more chord driven cuts, flanged synth stabs and harmonised basslines. All delivered on heavyweight 180g vinyl.

VINYL ONLY

Homework - Conquered Enemies (WOLFEP027)

We are excited to have ItaloBros coming at you on Daylight Robbery with the Freak Out EP.  The boys brining their eclectic, passionate and personal sound from the beautiful landscapes of Southern Italy.  Always venturing into new paths, their sound takes from their old school influence to create a groove infusion. With releases on fine imprints such as Simma Black, Maya Records and SELECTECHouse the bros have gained support from the like of Azari & III, Luciano and Darius Syrossian.


Freak Out blends soft and delicate keys with graceful vocals to lead you into a dreamy state.  The percussion builds before the bass takes the track on a forward bounce.  With phases of euphoria offset by those of rolling thunder, this track is one for the floor.

Apollo 84 has been making waves for his dark and energetic style of production. Releases on such labels as Nurvous, King Street Sounds and Deep Freeze and remixes for the likes of Vanilla Ace, Low Steppa and Matteo Rosolare. Radio play on Radio 1, Kiss FM and Rinse FM and ever growing recognition have seen him land two number 1 selling records.

He takes Freak Out back to the old school with rolling percussion and warm radiant vocals adding to the flavour. The deeply lurking bass line teases in and out throughout as the elements swirl in all directions leading you astray to a darker finale.

That rounds up 8 artists to complete for now Pocket Money's Hustlers EP's before moving forward next time on to some solo EP's forthcoming.  All the support has been very much appreciated so thank you to all involved and following the label :)

A2 - Jemaho - Ghosts Inside Me
B1 - Robert Reinartz - Stay With Him
B2 - Soul Habitat - City Lights

*** whenwedip.com review......

"Pocket Money records is a vinyl only label with their feet in Manchester but with their minds and hearts firmly in their spiritual homes of Chicago and Detroit. This independent label is focused completely on the release of only the finest modern underground house music. Their most recent offering is due out on the 13th of April in all good records stores.

This EP is a collaboration between 4 of their newest artists to give the listening public a taster of what is yet to come later on in the year. First up is James Johnston, this Glasgow native is no stranger to the house music game. With a string of releases in the last few years he has featured on labels such as Gerd’s 4lux and Kolour’s off shoot Undertones. But not content with releasing music on other peoples labels he decided to set up No Matter What with fellow PMR artist Alex Agore. Alex was featured on Pocket Money Records debut offering “Hustler EP Part 1″. Johnston’s track on the Hustlers EP, “House Sound” is a true house track through and through. A perfect kick drum and hi-hat combo is accompanied by synth chords and a howling vocal sample to give you everything you need to make a great house anthem.

Next up is the Berlin native, Jemaho. Real name Jean Marie Houvenaghel. He is also the brain behind Jazzy Butterfly Records with long time associate Jason Shaw AKA 4TRAK Music. Jemaho’s feature on the record, entitled “Ghosts Inside Me” allows for a smooth transition between tracks with a heavy old school Detroit house feel to it. This track instantly makes you want to move and will be a welcomed addition to dj’s sets.

Then on the B side we are greeted by the Dutchman Robert Reinartz, who’s most recent release was in October of last year. “Tearz EP” was done on freche fruchte recordings. This classic house EP reminds the listener of Strictly Rhythm or a Todd Terry classic. On this record though “Stay With Him” is a faster track to welcome you onto the other side of the wax. While the vibe of old school house continues throughout Roberts track is a harder hitting kick drum lead track which has a strong Kerri Chandler feel to it.

Last but certainly not least is Soul Habitat which is an independent deep house project with its musical roots firmly attached to early garage house style. Based in Poland and with a history of making bass music this is a new direction and one which I have very few complaints about.  “City Lights” is my favourite track on this record, with its bouncing beat and melodic soulfulness its an instant hit and when a saxophone sample is introduced to the equation it takes the record as a whole to a whole other level."

After nine releases on their KVK series of the Karlovak label, KVK1000 will be the tenth and final release on the KVK imprint (god save her soul). In it’s place arises the new KRLVK series. While the concept series KVK exclusively featured releases from the label-lords themselves, the new KRLVK series will sport work from other artists with releases from Radio Slave, Ben Sims, and the Chicago house legend DJ Jes already lined up.

First up on KRLVK is Ben Sims who delivers a burning EP of disco infused house and techno bombs.

Dan Curtin’s musical quest began in early 1990s Cleveland and continues today in Berlin, where the pioneering DJ and producer carries on defying conventions and pushing boundaries. 
Curtin’s discography dates back to 1992, with his first releases for Detroit’s 33RPM Records and Belgium’s Buzz Records. He soon inked his own production hub, Metamorphic Recordings. Curtin’s unwillingness to restrict himself to a singular style has been instrumental to releases like his albums Silicon Dawn, Web Of Life and Art & Science on Peacefrog Records, and work for further influential imprints such as Strictly Rhythm and Sublime. 



Now he’s elaborating hisimpressive discography yet again with an uplifting yet pumping EP for Turquoise Blue Recordings. A label that was founded to release house music that’s deep, groovy and underground.
Featuring 3 originals and oneAnalogue Cops Remix, it’s clear that Dan Curtin and Turquoise Blue Recordings make a good team.


B1. Dan Curtin - Selfish  Feat Habida (Analogue Cops Remix)

Lost My Dog co-founder Pete Dafeet unleashes the first single from his highly anticipated debut album 'The Root, The Soul'. 'Wife' is an exultant slab of piano house, laced with early 90's Balearic vibes and screaming of summer! Nacho Marco’s remix adds steel to the original’s splendour as TR-303 and 909 join forces to drive energy levels skywards. The package also features album title track 'The Root, The Soul' which comes drizzled with delicious Dafeet synthology and a dreamy vocal that glides over a groovy house beat.

DJ support from Chez Damier, Ian Pooley, Terry Farley, Danny Howells, Waifs & Strays, Till von Sein and many, many more.

This hits stores on May 11th (Digital) and June 15th (Vinyl). Sorry for delay on vinyl, Record Store Day pushed production back booo!

Album pre-order will also be available on iTunes on May 11th - if you pre-order the album you'll get the tracks 'Wife' and 'The Root, The Soul' as an instant gratification download.

Adam Beyer is back on Drumcode with an impressive array of tracks that will get the senses tingling and shows us what Drumcode is all about. These 4 tracks are deep and almost melancholic in their approach to techno, using effects to really help enforce an ambience only Beyer can achieve within his productions. The under lying throbbing of the drums drives this EP into the forefront of the heads down Drumcode sound and have been heard in many of Beyer’s phenomenal sets throughout the year.

Italian duo Marsupials join the Madhouse Records roster this may with the ‘Gotta Get You’ EP, comprising three original tracks from the fledgling artists.

Luigi Giomini and Massimiliano Miele aka Marsupials have come a long way since their debut on Seven Music in late 2014, delivering a string of original content since via the likes of Large Music Scucci Manucci, Dabit, and Black Key Records. Here, the duo push on by joining the roster of Kerri
Chandler’s Madhouse Records yet another substantial step forward for the rising duo.

Title cut ‘Gotta Get You’ kicks things off and sees Giomini and Miele provide an atmospheric deep
house workout with crunchy rhythms, stirring pad lines, wandering stab sequences and weighty doses
of sub bass.

‘Quilb’ follows and takes things into deeper realms with a loose rhythmic swing, bubbling background synth tones and dubby chord hits, while closing piece ‘Hot Donuts’ rounds off the package on a gritty stripped back tip laying the focus on weighty drums and soaring chord progressions. Marsupials offer up something both classic and elegant with the ‘Gotta Get You’ EP making it a perfect fit for the
Madhouse catalogue.

Marsupial’s ‘Gotta Get You’ EP is out on Madhouse Records 3rd May (Traxsource) and 17th May (General) 2015.

Release Date: 18th May 2015

Rising Anjunadeep star Lane 8 announced the release of his debut album in style recently, with the brilliant new single ‘Ghost feat. Patrick Baker’. On remix duties are a diverse trio of talented producers; techno innovator Audion, Aus Music prodigy Bwana and blogger's favourite Luvian.

After collaborating with Lane 8 on a track on the upcoming album, Matthew Dear took to his notorious Audion guise to remix ‘Ghost’, following remixes for legendary acts like Leftfield, Four Tet, Dubfire and Seth Troxler. Completely twisting the mood of the original, cutting the vocal over a frenetic groove he delivers a gnarly late-night techno cut.

Bwana has marked himself out as one to watch with his excellent EPs on Will Saul’s Aus Music, and his epic take on ‘Ghost’ is another winner, playing off the subtle melodies of the original with a huge bass hook, and Patrick Baker’s evocative lyrics.

UK based Luvian has been bubbling away for a while, with his early tracks picking up millions of plays on YouTube and Soundcloud. He takes his remix away from the club, instead opting for a gorgeous poolside version, stripping back almost entirely to sparse percussion, sensual melodic textures and warped vocals.

Jaymes Young - I'll Be Good (Tom Bull Remix)

WOLF return & welcome their latest recruit Thrilogy to the pack. He first debuted on the label with the pumping 'Artic', but this is his first full EP on the label. 

The EP opens with 'Heaven', a gospel vocal, piano-laden house beauty. Think classic soulful house with a whole heap of church up in the mix. The EPs second track 'Hold Me In Your Arms', with its long breakdown, has Summer festivals written all over it. We can't wait to play this one in Croatia! On the flip, another newcomer, K.98, takes 'Heaven' up a notch and turns it into serious peak time territory. 

Out on 12" July 2015.

The dynamic duo of Sandman &amp; Riverside are at it again as the FastFWD label unleashes its eleventh release. Their Play Wit You EP is chock full of sexy house funk with top notch remixes from a couple of house music&rsquo;s influential tastemakers, Ron Trent and DJ Minx. The EP contains three originals featuring vocalist Kymberli Wright, all layered with drumbeats and synthesizers of varying timbres to take the listener on a whimsical journey &hellip; all cuts are bonafide galactic head nodders. First introduced to the house world via the Defected label, Kymberli Wright&rsquo;s soulful vocals gained notice throughout Detroit and beyond through her contribution to all-female jazz band Straight Ahead as well as having worked alongside such noted artists as Mary J. Blige and George Clinton. The first track with Sandman &amp; Riverside is &ldquo;Play Wit You,&rdquo; a Detroit-flavored gem filled with popping drum machine percussion, dueling synth melodies, and Wright&rsquo;s irresistible vocal hooks on top. &ldquo;PopTune&rdquo; is next, offering an enticing throwback to club music of the late &lsquo;80s within some powerful beats. Add Ms. Wright&rsquo;s wonderful vocal lines and this cut takes on the feel of Human League meets Shannon. The third track on the EP is &ldquo;SuperSonic,&rdquo; not to be confused with the classic JJ Fad ditty, though it&rsquo;s not too far off. Sandman &amp; Riverside&rsquo;s funk production backs the swirling, processed, and synthesized vocal phrases and outer space vibes. A pared-down Dub of this appealing track is also available. On the remix tip, the Prescription Records&rsquo; legendary Ron Trent reveals a hypnotic ten minute revision of &ldquo;Play Wit You&rdquo; that merges sensual loops and vocal effects into the soundtrack to a dark dance floor full of bodies in motion. It&rsquo;s a lofter&rsquo;s dream. Detroit&rsquo;s DJ Minx (Women On Wax) offers her vocal and instrumental Queen Beats versions which satisfy through booming low end, solid late night rhythms, and building, melodic chords. It&rsquo;ll have folks in the club grooving with drinks high in the air. 

Ashley Beedle - &#8220;Definitely the Ron Trent remix for me. Wicked. Big support.&#8221; 
Graeme Park - &#8220;This is a wonderful way to start the new year.&#8221; 
Abicah Soul - &#8220;DJ Minx Queen Beats mix is my pick.&#8221;

Master Kev - &#8220;Very nice remixes by Minx and Ron Trent. I will definitely play both.&#8221; 
Franco De Mulero (Kings of Groove / Pacha) - &#8220;Massive support on this from me.&#8221; 
Joey Silvero (Distant People) - &#8220;Ron Trent takes it deeper! The dub of &#8216;Supersonic&#8217; is sounding hot, also.&#8221; 
Gareth Morgan (Blues &amp; Soul Magazine) - &#8220;I must admit I was very surprised how much this track grabbed me. The DJ Minx Queen Beats mix has very MURK-esque percussion whilst building a lovely groove that keeps me listening. Mr Trent adds his trademark deepness and this is another mix I really like.&#8221; 
Michael Fossati (Spirit Of House) - &#8220;The paramount remix by Ron Trent has &#8216;timeless&#8217; written all over.&#8221;
