WYS! Recordings are returning from a 2-year hiatus with a strong Ep by the Labels co-founder and former Fabric / WYS! Resident DJ Peter Pixzel. It's a 4 track EP with two originals exploring the jazzier side of upbeat house music.

The title track Rogue 9 has fat bouncy beats, a massive rolling bassline, with added snappy synth riffs to keep it high energy. The track comes to its peak in the 1-minute break where the interplay between a Grand piano and an electric Rhodes piano interplays wonderfully in the quirky scale of E minor before dropping back into its former powerful main elements.

WYS!023 with be out on all digital platforms on the 17th of December and on Pre-Sale on the 10th of December.

Peter Pixzel - Rogue 9 (Premier)

Exclusive: Bart Ricardo - Field Work

Having a past with legendary House Music artists such as Derrick Carter, DJ Sneak, Gene Farris, Green Velvet, Roy Davis Jr. with whom he's shared the DJ booth with, Brugge-based producer Bart Ricardo himself has somewhat become an iconic House-scene mainstay too. With releases on Farris Wheel Recordings, Gourmand Music and now Music For Freaks, just to name a few, the Belgian has proven many reasons why he's on top the game. His latest release though, a four tracker on legendary UK-label Music For Freaks betters the before-mentioned as Bart delivers three cuts taking us from Deep to classic to jazzy House vibes, showing both: his talent as well as his affinity for pure and classy electronic music, designed for the floors and making House-affiliates dance! dance! dance! Field Work's tempting House drum combined with an array of chords is as addictive as Bart Ricardo's passion for the music itself. The spoken vocals round off the track in the most formidable way, no wonder Justin Harris wanted to sign and get those tracks out immediately. 

Bart Ricardo's Morning Bliss EP was released on Music For Freaks.

EXCLUSIVE: Bart Ricardo - Field Work [Music For Freaks]


Jonas Kopp first impressed the DJ-league and techno fans worldwide in 2007 with his incredible release on Spectral 43. In the meantime he released more amazing records on labels such as Weave, Vinyl Club and CMYK Musik. If we would have to describe his debut release on Curle - going stronger than ever these days with contributions from Thomas Brinkmann, Efdemin, Soulphiction, Anthony Collins and Martyn - we could say it sounds like Brothers' Vibe meets Radio Slave, at Berghain. Sounds tempting, isn't it? www.curle.be

New EP is OUT on my favorite label YoY (Yoyaku)!, this time I teamed up with my good friend and a DJ / modular synth master Rintaro and had great studio jams in Tokyo. No pre productions, we improvised with machines such as eurorack modular, drum machines and synths to create DJ tools with the vibes we are musically into. 

Early support : D’julz, Nitin, Kamran Sadeghi, Hugo LX, Tripmastaz, Varhat

YOY09 - A2 - XOR (Snip)

“Synesthesia” is the second release from A_A, the experimental live project of Satoshi Tomiie and Nao Gunji.
Since the first album last year the project has had a number of sessions and recorded countless improvisation jams. This release features 4 of those jams in different moods and styles.
Early support : Levon Vincent, Roger Gerressen, Louie Vega, D’julz, Andrey Pushkarev and many more.
“The name stands for ABSTRACT_ARCHITECTURE, this represents its craft, sound and texture.”
Recorded completely live, A_A merges early house music production techniques with those of 20th century experimental music. Classic rhythm machines, samplers and synths reside side-by-side with various approaches such as Musique Concrète, Tape-Delay, Chance and Granular Synthesis through the usage of modular synths + some home-made stuff.
**Limited 200 blue transparent vinyl with silkscreen sleeve handprinted in Paris**

R&S founder Renaat Vandepapeliere returns with the first expanded compilation in his personal RV Trax series showcasing the hypnotic sounds he plays on the dancefloor. In this fifth installment, Vandepapeliere has chosen 9 groove-laden tracks from an array of talented electronic artists representing Belgium, England, Argentina, Northern Ireland, Italy, France, and Germany.

A frustrated drummer at heart, every one of the tracks on RV Trax Vol 5 (and previous volumes) has the shared DNA of heavy percussive workouts - keeping the focus of the music on the drums. This premiere's 'noos' by VENDi is certainly no exception, showcasing its intentions early on, with a spine of breaks intertwined in a moody melody that anchor the track from start to finish.

Mirko Loko - Detroit Love Vol. 4 [Planet E]
Pre-order: https://lnk.to/DetroitLoveVol4

Following contributions from Carl Craig, Stacey Pullen and Wajeed, Swiss DJ and producer Mirko Loko steps forward to curate & mix the latest volume of Planet E’s compilation series celebrating the international legacy of the Motor City's electronic music heritage, Detroit Love Vol. 4. Active since the late nineties when he first began DJing in the clubs of Lausanne, Switzerland, Mirko Loko has always felt a deep connection to the music of Detroit. Having been personally invited by Carl Craig to play at the Detroit Electronic Music Festival in 2001, that connection has stayed consistent and electric ever since. Mirko Loko is also known as a Cadenza mainstay and a curator of Verbier's Polaris Festival, but the music of the Motor City has been the guiding force of his creative career.

Released on digital and vinyl formats, Mirko's selection offers a taste of Detroit that intermingles emerging talent and the deepest cuts from established heroes. Mirko has loaded the mix with exclusive productions & remixes including new collaborations with Derrick May and Ursula Rucker; an updated version of his classic recording with Stacey Pullen, ‘Tronic Illusion’; an exclusive remix of Japan's Takuya Yamashita; and a new track under his Bel Air Ltd alias. Each of these will be available on the vinyl edition, alongside the tracks from Phase Force, Lady B and a heretofore unreleased Carl Craig edit of DJ Deep & Romain Poncet's Sergie Rezza project.

“The influence of Detroit on music all over the world is immeasurable. Like so many others, my relationship with music was inspired and forever marked by the talent and genius of Detroit & midwest USA's musical pioneers, and we all owe the city and its cultural legacy a huge debt. This mix is my small way of saying thank you to the city.” - Mirko Loko, 2020
