Recently we remixed a Friendless & Boswell track called 'I Beg To Differ' and it's been something that we have been constantly playing in our DJ sets - so we were buzzed to get in the studio and create an original track with the boys... so buzzed that we made two versions. Also we've had dream come true by collaborating with Chicago house legend Ron Carroll, someone who has inspired us for years, then we round things off with some old school filtered disco vibes.' - Avon Stringer

A word from Jesse Rose: 'I had another single of mine from my album I wanted to release before we got to our 100th release and hiatus for the label. Then Matt (Avon Stringer) sent me these tracks and I was like dam pull my single these trax have to go out! For sure something in this bunch for everyone. Pure fire!!!'

Play It Down brings together many of its veteran artists for the 100th release, which, in the current incarnation of the label, will also be its last.

A word from Jesse Rose:
“It’s been an amazing rollercoaster of a ride with Play It Down and when asked why I would stop releasing in its current incarnation the answer was obvious. I’ve always been very involved in the A&R process of all the releases. I’ve always felt confident to tell an artist if something should be taken out or added because I have spent (near enough) every weekend for the last two decades in a club, listening and playing House music. I would test the demos in my sets and know automatically what felt right and what felt wrong. If I’m not playing in clubs it wouldn’t feel right for me to tell someone who is playing shows every weekend how their record should sound. And ultimately, Play It Down for me has been about finding music I've wanted to play in my sets. So for the minute it’s a massive thank you to all the artists, fellow DJs, supporters, club-goers,
distributors, journalists, radio presenters, interns, promoters, bootleggers, and to Laura (who has worked day-in & day-out overseeing near every part of the label for the past five years) for letting us come up with dreams that all of you have helped make a reality.
This Play It Down 100 compilation album of original tracks brings back all the current roster to collaborate and a few tracks written solo by some of our key artists. It was a very enjoyable process to see what they would all come back with.”

Play It Down 100

Time Is But A Moment is the seventh release in the 12x12 series from Jesse Rose, bringing in NYC's Arama as an ode to the city's house heritage. Two brand-new remixers on the track: London's Kavanah and currently-in-jail Victor Marso from Mexico.
 
The concept behind the 12x12 series is simple: release an EP or single each month on the 12th. If you were wondering why some releases are deeper or more techno or more vocal-based than others... it's all leading up to a full LP released January 12, 2014

Weiss - She Said [PID067]

NYC house legend Junior Sanchez makes his Play It Down debut with "Move". It's just one of those tracks that for us shines incredibly true to the reasoning behind Junior's long and fruitful successes as a producer.

A word from Junior: "'Move' came about while I was literally "taking a break" in the studio; I guess there is no break when creativity hits. This is a record that encompasses a deep NYC classic House feel while still having some Mood II Swing intensity on the dub. It's pretty much a well-rounded House influence on this record... and there you have it. Initially I didn't know what to do with it, until Jesse [Rose] heard it and lived with it for a while. I guess it struck a chord and "Move" found a home, and we all know what that means: With the the Play It Down crew they turn 'This House Into A Home!'"

Early support from: Jamie Jones, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs,  Paco Osuna, Riva Starr, Luke Solomon, Mark Farina, Pickster, Hector Romero, Triple J Radio, ZDS, Weiss, Kry Wolf, Luna City Express and more....

Jesse Rose & Weiss - Ask For More / Oh, Like This, Ok [PID069]

Lewis Boardman follows up last year’s thumping “Whoyouwho / Sucker” EP with 2 brand new original tracks. Both have a bouncy, yet a vaguely ominous aura about them, a characterization that has often become synonymous with the Liverpool resident’s production style and DJ sets: “I make music that is suited to me and my style of DJing. Sometimes it’s really deep stuff around 121 bpm and grooves along and then sometimes it’s dark and creepy, in-and-around 125 bpm. But it’s always a true reflection of the music that I’m really into and passionate about.”

Beyond his productions, Boardman has also become a staple in the UK’s underground house scene. He’s DJ’d alongside some of the world’s biggest names (Matthias Tanzmann, Carl Cox, Seth Troxler, Loco Dice, Yousef) and helped form and facilitate the building of Liverpool as a hub of notable nightlife, throwing club nights during his 13-year (and counting) residency at the iconic nightclub Circus. He has also made regular appearances at some of Europe’s other finest venues (such as Fabric, The Warehouse Project, Razzmatazz, Watergate) and as well as a residency at Parklife’s festival.

Available now.

Weiss heads into the tail end of 2016 with a rampantly successful past year and a full-speed trajectory ahead. As the latest inductee into the Play It Down family, he started the label’s year with “Rollin / She Said” and a global premiere on Annie Mac’s BBC Radio 1 show. Quick on the jump to collab, Jesse Rose hopped on the next double-header with “Ask For More / Oh, Like This, Ok” which garnered support from the likes of Pete Tong, Steve Lawler, Davide Squillace, & Joris Voorn to name a few.


2016 has also spawned the start of a very successful string of tour stops around the globe on both the club and festival front and has seen him spin in front of some of the world’s biggest stages. In June we saw the birth of Weiss City, a night at Egg London with Weiss at the help, with its third installment at the start of the month selling out for its third consecutive time in a row. His song “You’re Sunshine” has seen major success in recent months, getting major play on Radio 1 and has been dubbed by many the standout track of the summer.

Furthermore, Weiss aims to continue on his hot streak with his latest upcoming release on Play It Down, “Groove Is On / Heaven” which will be available on Beatport/iTunes/Spotify and all other digital retailers on 30th of October. We’re incredibly happy to have him on the label and can’t wait to see what’s next.

Brillstein - How About No (Junior Sanchez Dub)[PIDLM002]

One of the three brand new edits from Dick Johnson's Label Mates Vol. 3.

Label Mates 03 is compiled and mixed by Dick Johnson.

'I've been releasing music on Jesse's labels for over 10 years and it was a real honour to be asked to do this Label Mates mix and have free rein of 200 plus releases over 5 labels. It's not until you're faced with selecting 90 mins of music that you realise what a timeless catalogue of consistently dope releases it is, so many gems! My method was to pick some of my favourites from each label and narrow it down from there, I've also added in a few of my own exclusive re-edits. Hope you enjoy the mix and a big thank you to Jesse for 15 years of inspiring house music releases.” - Dick Johnson

It's been a minute but ZDS makes his return to Play It Down with another verified double-header.

A words from ZDS: 'I first heard Kid Enigma on a wonderful collaboration he did with Till Von Sein called 'Booty Angel.' I have been looking for a song to make with him for a bit and I am really happy with how 'Picture Perfect' came out. I have been stripping my tracks back to the bone recently and 'Charlie Murphy' is my first attempt at making a song with nothing in it that kills on the dance floor. It's worked every time I played it and I hope you like it too.'

'Nat always kills it and this is of course no exception. The proper shit.' - Jesse Rose 

Early support from: Davide Squillace, Stacey Pullen, Riva Starr, Doorly, Hector Romero, Ninetoes, and more....

''It all started with a brief phone call and we discovered that we were only 10 minutes away from one another - so a future studio session with choice weed was long overdue. The 'Untouchable Funk' EP is what ensued as we shared, chopped, and arranged our sampled based textures into one creative space. We wanted to lay down beats that we could get right into for our culture and the clubs. Big Love out to Jesse Rose and Play It Down for taking this journey with us!' - DJ Sneak and Demuir

A word from James Curd: 'At the start of 2017 I decided to focus more on my Chicago roots. I used to make songs from beginning to end on just an MPC 2000. I wanted to get back to making fun, simple tracks that work on a dark and dirty Chicago loft party dancefloor. 'I Wanna Freak' was so much fun and satisfying to make. Shout out to Likasto for the dope vocals. I hope people dig it!'

'Pretty much the day I got the demo this track went into my set and hasn't come out since. It's the most asked about track I've played this year, you've prolly heard it and didn't know what it was.... Another stand out from one of House musics legends James Curd. So good that both Claude Vonstroke & Pezzner got straight into an edit & remix respectively without even being asked, in this day and age that says a lot!!!' - Jesse Rose
