Rob Redford takes us back to when deep house was DEEP house with Create Peace. 

Melodic pads, a bouncy bassline and drums that are used sparingly. Wrapping perfectly around the emotive spoken vocals. 

A message that has been told over and over but still rings true today as much as it ever has. 

Create Peace is a smooth joint that's rough round the edges. A fresh take on things with a nod to the old that wouldn't feel out of place in Larry Heard's discography.

House Gospel Choir joins To The Rock to create a release that's testament to the group's endearing and beautiful approach to making House a Home.

The Choir brings the soul of music to the forefront in its compositions, perfectly pairing the foundations of House genres  with the full-on orchestral feel. The result is an infectious harmony that grows in strength with each listen.

Angels is To The Rock's most ambitious release to date, providing a beautiful, varied record that leaves no stone unturned in getting to the basis of emotion. Featuring MORGAN on lead vocal, this 6-track package acts as testament to a 90s way of approaching a dance EP - original mixes, instrumentals, acappellas, remixes and reprises are all featured, giving a wonderfully balanced feel to proceedings. The original mix is a gorgeous affair that wraps itself around the listener in the warmest embrace; the acappella gives space for the vocals to breathe, drawing the listener into the intricacies and dynamics; the Crackazat remix injects some dancefloor energy into proceedings; and the 2fox reprise? Just wait for the switch-up! 

Records like this don't come around much these days, but to run through the spectrum of emotions is something everyone has to experience. House Gospel Choir channels everything into this. Pair that with the undeniable talents of MORGAN and you have all the right ingredients for a modern classic.

Angels - House Gospel Choir ft MORGAN

Long term friends and kindred spirits Max Sinàl & To The Rock join forces to bring you 'Ravage Music' for the London based imprint's 22nd release. Max is starting the year as he left off in 2023 which saw him launch the Max Sinàl moniker, alongside Soul Quest Records - a label he co-founded. In just a few months he earned the title of one of DJ Mag's Best Emerging Artists and gained support from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Laurent Garnier, Kai Alce, Aroop Roy and many more. His release 'Let You In' also went on to be included in Bandcamp's best releases of 2023.

To The Rock is also hot off the back of its hugely popular winter release 'Angels' by House Gospel Choir feat MORGAN, which saw plenty of love topping the Traxsouce charts at the back end of last year and was supported by the who's who of the soulful DJ community and music industry.

Their latest offering from Max Sinàl demonstrates the labels diversity as they move into the raw & stripped back territory with this deep swinging, jazzy house jam with slick vocal sampling and that all essential UK grit which gives a nod to Max's pirate station garage roots. If that's not enough the release comes with a sped up, stripped back dub which provides that extra dark kick to the release.

Landing exclusively on Traxsource and Spotify from 8 Feb. All other platforms 22 Feb.

Produced by Max Abrahams.

Additional Keys on Original Mix by Piers Aggett.

totheRockRecords presents its debut release 'Torn'. A bassline-driven,  head-nodder with the kind of deep feel that is made for those late nights & early mornings.

Finishing with a first-rate organ solo, 'Torn' sets the tone for what will follow from totheRockRecords. House music that you can't help but make you sit up and take notice.

Detroit native Javonntte turns to his soulful side to deliver two-tracks that come straight from the heart.

The title track is a chord-led, mid-tempo, stepper. Javonntte's smooth vocals beautifully combining with the background horns on a chorus that will stay with you long after you've listened to the track. 

'Inspiration' brings the positive, motivational message that we could all benefit from right now. The hi-hat sets the pace, along with uplifting keys - this one makes you close your eyes and, just as the lyrics say, 'Put your hands up to the sky'.
