They say House is a feeling, an ethereal groove that sits in your soul's fibres. For Berlin based Kiwi, Philippa. It's in her bones.
Immersed in her studio, whilst listening to hours of mo-town and blues, Philippa has carved the 'Rainy Nights' EP. A project she describes as a "straight down the middle, sample-based deep house record, wearing its '90s influences on its sleeve, with pride." It's late night deep house, filled with emotion and groove, which speaks to us all.

DJ SNEAK on Toy Tonics! Yes. It’s happening. 
Another US legend joins the German house label. After Kai Alcé (EP on Toy Tonics in September 2023) and Joe Claussell who did an amazing remix for the label some time ago, now it’s DJ Sneak. 
It makes sense, as Toy Tonics stands for that funky mix of three main influences: original American soul-based house music, the italo disco heritage and the more London or Paris 1990ies wildstyle house sound. DJ Sneak reached out to the label last year, giving his props and showing love for many of Toy Tonics releases, and the guys immediately invited him to join the label with an EP as it's also his sound that is getting so popular again with the younger dance generation. So here it is: 6 tracks (4 on the vinyl) that remind the classic, bumping DJ Sneak sound. Full of energy and emotion. Perfect for the dance floors of today and great to introduce the maestro to the kids who love house now but have never heard about the grandmasters.

Released: 25.01.24

Natural Frequency Records is a label that embraces the full spectrum of electronic music. Emotion and movement over genres and scenes. Their ninth release is the perfect expression of that.

Harmonic Frequencies (Volume 1) combines a beautiful array of talent into a 10-track compilation. Many different frequencies working in harmony.

Kenny Blacksmith steps from behind the curtain of running a successful record label and provides his debut release. An up-tempo acid roller, designed to lure you into a false sense of security… remember, Monday’s Fish isn’t safe.'

Athens of the North (AOTN) is a label headed by Euan Fryer, a Scottish music aficionado born and raised in Edinburgh. In fact, the name for his label is based on the nickname of his hometown - a city recognized as having a reputation for learning and recalling lost knowledge from the ancient Greeks.

This is an apt name for his imprint since, much like the Scottish of the late 1700s, Euan has been on a mission to honor works of the past. Founded in 2014, AOTN has acquired the rights for vintage soul, funk and disco tracks, and re-issued them to the masses - helping curators draw inspiration from music's not-to-distant golden age.

However, AOTN is simply not just a home for re-issues. The revenue they generate from these releases fund new projects from today's crop of talented artists and musicians. Not a label to chase the latest trends, AOTN prioritizes quality and relies on the timelessness of past melodies to set themselves apart.

Having come out with Andrew Wasylyk's 60's inspired jazz LP Fugitive Light and Themes of Consolation earlier this year, AOTN returns with a brand new record titled Face the Facts. This is a collaborative piece that sees the likes of Linkwood and Other Lands joining forces for the first time. Given both producers' propensity to abide by no particular genre, this was honestly a match made in heaven. Using modular synths as their foundation, Linkwood and Other Lands traverse a myriad of soundscapes that dabble in almost everything - from  80s post-punk to modern dream-pop and down to funk-tinged Balearic disco and more.

Our favorite tune from the 13-track LP is their song "Don't Throw It," which combines Linkwood's expertise on the keys and deep sense of rhythm with Other Lands' hazy vocals and wishful songwriting. This makes for a supremely laidback experience that's akin to watching waves roll onto shore. Although its individual elements are dynamic and even vibrant at times, when grouped together, they flatten each other out in the end - creating a mood that you'll happily allow wash over you.

Face the Facts is set to hit on November 20th. Pre-order your copy here! This is one you're gonna want to show your friends!
