LDR returns with the labels first various artists release, four house expressions – from four cutting edge producers: Lerosa, Mark du Mosch, Meschi and Automatic Tasty.
L.I.E.S. – Comeback Dust EP [EVR003]
A somewhat mysterious collaboration between three people from varying parts of the world is finally pieced together after being lost and found over the last two years. The final result being two stripped down and uncompromising tracks that go from Chicago to Detroit and beyond. Also included is Legowelt’s remix of Comeback Dust which takes the original and adds his signature Chicago Smudge sound to the mix.
Ricardo Miranda – Vinyl’s Revenge [MND019]
Minuendo pays tribute to the Wind City with a killer 12″ from Ricardo Miranda, boss of Noble Square. The EP comes with a great remix by Ordell as well.
Dave Siska – Vacuum Boogie Mix
Disco Nihilist – It’s Grim Up North [CP03]
Four tracks of rugged ‘ouse music from Disco Nihilist. These tracks are 100% hardware built, from the ruff-as-yer-nana’s kneecaps beats of ‘relentless’ and ‘relentless drums’ – paying homage to Steve Poindexter’s ‘Work That MF’, to the sleazier, more hypnotic ‘Quit While You’re Ahead’ nd the pounding jack of ‘You Never leave Your Room’.
Hipodrome Podcast 007 – Transilmania
The Hipodrome Podcast Series is now at the lucky number 7 and we have the pleasure to bring you a special mix from our mysterious friend from Transilmania, a person on a green shaded land who trans his inner mania. Prepare yourself for a trip in space and time, with a mysterious and experimental Chicago house session.

Marcello Napoletano – Everyday Madness [HHYR011]
Three tracks that show the original spirit of raw, emotive, jacking music. The A-side, “Everyday Madness” is simply a side long drum machine workout with some added vocal effects, perfect for a DJ tool or just for some late night dancefloor mayhem. The B-side contains two slightly more musical jaunts. “Raw As Fuck” is simply pure urgent party music for dark discoteques, with a perfectly mixed low end bass drum and a glistening sheen. “Soul Train” has a groove and a jack to it, and has a similiar sound to some of the Underground Quality records being released at present. With its farting subs and off-kilter breaks, it’ll be sure to rock your crowd late into set.
Traxx – Lifeless Future
For the first smaller jubilee of the Nation Podcast we were not sure what we should do to quench the thirst of those who are in constant need of Jakbeat.
But then Traxx was getting booked to play alongside Gene Hunt and Sadar Bahar in Amsterdam for a celebration of the early blueprints of Chicago House, and to take the people attending the show on a journey through time and space, deep into the vaults of what is considered to be the greatest musical revolution of all time.
Our own excitement for this historical event, made us go down into the basement-archives to unearth a session that was thought to be forgotten. Ripped directly straight from tape, with all artefacts and soundlevel-changes intact… Lifeless Future will draw a disturbing image of the future, when Mankind is not anymore, and all there is left in the world is sound.
We hope you will enjoy this session, and give it a repeated listen…
Kink – Aphex Kink EP [SHV003]
Strahil Velchev a.k.a. KiNK presents “Tracks From The Vault Vol. 1”. Five compositions, produced between 2003 and 2009, all showcasing the more experimental side of the Bulgarian music geek.The Minister – Paranoia on Planet X [CRJAK011]
Creme come to Jak with the second release from cult undercover artiste, The Minister.

Kink & Neville Watson – Metropole [HHYR012]
KiNK & Neville Watson are back with their 3rd single on Hour House Is Your Rush. Balancing between early Chicago and some techno and early 90’s house bangers the guys deliver.
D’Marc Cantu – Black Tears [CRJAK012]
When it hits there is no escaping this deeeeeep creepy crawly Mind Meld. It engulfs you, then sucks you into a womblike state, only to spit you back out onto the dancefloor where you’ll be JAKKING your ass off!
Jackmaster Hater – Warehouse Box Tracks [WHBTR04]
Unleashed from the basement of some lucky Chicago fiend, these are four ruff-as-fuck jack tracks from back in’t day. All four tracks have previously appeared on mixes and tapes but never pressed onto wax before so if you crave some old skool jack vibes, look no further.
VA – City 2 City / Wonder Sometimes [STX002]
The second release on Snuff Trax. KiNK and Neville Watson delivers the fantastic “City 2 City” for the A-Side of Snuff Trax 002. On B-Side we find “Wonder Sometimes”, a new tracks from Snuff Crew a bit deeper than you maybe expect… The second track on the B-Side is a Neville Watson remix of our “Are You House?” cut.
2AM/FM – Desolate Cities [MOSDEEP004]
After their collaboration with Traxx on a previous MOS-release, James T. Cotton and D’Marc Cantu team up as 2AM/FM for more serious Chicago House roughness. ‘Desolate Cities’ has all ingredients we love to hear in proper dark house track, this very reminds us to the best works by Phuture. ‘Give This World’ goes more on the melodic tip, and reminds to classic tracks by Virgo, Ron Trent and G-Strings.
Geeeman – Rubberband2 [CJFD07]
Disco Nihilist – From One Place To Another [CP02]
Disco Nihilist’s music production rejects PCs decked with sleek software and infinite options. Instead he chooses to operate within the parameters of dated, hands-on music technology. This is not art made for the sake of process or equipment fetishism, but rather a real human interaction with the instruments at hand.
