The Revenge continues to release forward thinking music on his very own Roar Groove label with the announcement of Intimate Connection – a double EP featuring all new tracks plus special ‘live dub’ recordings from title winning ‘Love That Will Not Die’. *Very Limited Supply*Graeme Clark is never one to rest on his vast number of successes, having numerous creative outlets and aliases with respected collaborators. As 6th Borough Project, alongside veteran Edinburgh DJ Craig Smith, the production duo turned out two stunning full length albums for the respected UK label Delusions Of Grandeur. Another long term partnership with Glasgow’s legendary Sub Club resident DJ Harri has gained high praise from industry tastemakers including Skream, DJ Hell, Rob Da Bank and Ewan Pearson.Having released on a multitude of highly revered labels including DFA, Pokerflat and his own defunct Instruments of Rapture, Graeme has rebuilt the foundations in the form of R oar Groove releasing his own original material with a range of vocals, tempos and dubs along with esteemed likeminded producers on various music formats.Intimate Connection c omes in the form of a double EP, split into two parts – each containing three new tracks plus a specially recorded live ‘dub’ version of tracks featured on ‘Love That Will Not Die’.Part One of the EP features a laidback down tempo theme to start with ‘Our Own Thing’, featuring signature organic house stabs accompanied by an everprogressing arpeggiated chord sequence. ‘Answer Man’ follows with big yet raw percussion while ‘New Nation’ builds suspense with a driving synth bassline.The first of the two live ‘dub’ recordings rounds out Part One, manipulating the ubiquitous Think (About It) sample in ‘Night Fever’ with stuttered percussion in one take, taking it away from the tribal themes in the original track.Graeme opens Part Two of the EP on a similarly relaxed tip; ‘Isle Of Lucy’ is a chilled deeper number with a characteristic sultry melody. ‘Let Love Take The Blame’ proceeds next with a wider and more active bassline, filtered and twisted in different turns sometimes with a lick of acid which leads nicely in to ‘No Turning Back’ with more raw drum machines and a heavier acid undertone. The second live ‘dub’ recording wraps up Part Two of the double EP, in which Clark maintains the metallic and almost minimalistic percussion of the original ‘Just One Touch’ but adds colour to the regimental bass stabs, perfect for any dark and dingy warehouse.

We present the first of three 12's to celebrate our 10th anniversary.For the A side Detroit Swindle radically rework Sometimes into Not Another Sometimes, a killer raw analogue jam that demonstrates a real development of the DS sound.For the B1 we're buzzing to finally release an original track from Matthew Styles, who's been on remix duties 3 times over the years, with the infectious house of Off The Grid.Last and by no means least The Carter Bros give us Tempting Disco Fate, a rolling disco loop with the mother of all bassline changes at the end of the track.Look out for part two dropping in April featuring a Jimpster edit of Galcher Lustwerk, Fort Romeau remixing the first ever Tsuba release from Williams and a Tsuba debut from Roy Comanchero.

Can you believe it? Fall of 2014 marks the 20TH ANNIVERSARY of YOSHITOSHI, the seminal record label founded by Deep Dish in 1994.To celebrate, we are bringing the classics back, remastered and with new remixes from an amazing group of heavy hitters from all corners of the dance world.Given that Yoshitoshi's roots are ingrained in house music, it's only fitting to start the re-release campaign with Eddie Amador's classic House Music.Released in 1997 it went on to become a global phenomena with its hypnotic hook and infectious Not Everyone Understands House Music that has become the preach anthem for generation of house music lovers.Along with the remastered original the package includes remixes by Uto Karem, Robosonic & Anthony Attalla....

The Home Taping label return with a highly accomplished release by London based producer Duff Disco.Already known for the eclectic nature of his work, Duff Disco moves it around effortlessly on this EP from the raw and underground sounds of 'Feed The Horse' to the more classic Motor City influenced vibes of 'The Heat' and finishes it off in some style with the chunky Beatdown beats of 'You And Nothing Else'.

RNT welcomes Manchester upstart Loz Goddard into the fold with his new outing, 'The Drunken Monk EP' on the Reserve imprint. Hot from recent successes on House of Disco and Dirt Crew, young Loz delivers yet again with a 4 tracker of dusty thumpers and jazzy burners, brewed with love and pressed to vinyl the color of a cool pint of ale!

As far as defying conventions goes, Frits is on a whole new level of realness. With his new label Bobby Donny, he's putting out leftfield electronic music with a big F.Y. attitude and he's not too shy to tell you why the current state of the house scene is so utterly boring to him.There's even rumours of a new project with some legendary and like minded producers, so our advice is to keep an eye out for this.His love for creating alter ego's and the time he spends curating his techno outpost Will & Ink, alongside his ruthless decision making process in selecting tracks for an EP, makes you wonder how and why he even makes time to release house music. But he does. And we're glad, because with each release, you know you'll be in for a treat.After releasing his album Rarely pure, never simple early 2015 on Wolf Music and releases on the fresh Icelandic label Borg and Darko Esser's Wolfskuil Records, he's back on Heist with his follow up to his 2014 Family Dinner EP.Rising sun, falling coconut is an exploration into fuzzy synths and drunk organs, all drenched in his signature and ever so dusty grooves.Basically, a case of classic Heist, classic Frits.Sincerely yours, Lars & Maarten

Alex Arnout's vinyl debut on Infuse finds the London based producer in fine form. Title track Primal drifts along on warm pads with a fresh female spoken vocal with 6 Million Ways offering up a dancefloor roller.The flip side sees This Beat offering up flecks of acid with Alex's trademark tight production whilst label head Enzo Siragusa and Seb Zito provide a tidy alternative take of primal to round off the ep....

We're really happy to get Andy on Heist after his successful collab with his buddy Max Graef on the Jungle EP back in 2013. He delivers a great 4-track EP that ranges from the synth-arp love affair of 'The same for me', to the heavily sampled disco jam 'Epsilon girls.' Check out 'Hermano' and 'Merkin' for a dreamy old school Chicago vibe, both done with a great sense of history and an added touch Andy's modern production and sampling skills.Sincerely yours,Lars & Maarten
