Crystal Vortex – Money You Are My $lave [IMR001]
Crystal Vortex original group members were Michael Thomas and Gino Pemberton and they recorded only two tracks ‘Money You Are My $lave’ and ‘Who’s Jacking Your House’. These tracks are presented here on the first Immersion Records release. The group split in 89.
Eden Burns – Big Beat Manifesto Vol. XII [PP122]
New Zealand’s Eden Burns returns to Big Beat Manifesto, a series that has quietly become one of underground house music’s more reliable homes. Burns remains as prolific as ever, and these five tracks continue his knack for balancing club functionality with just enough oddness to keep things interesting. ‘Loop Of Trust’ opens in a haze of atmosphere before a broken rhythm emerges beneath it, then ‘Direction’ locks into a taut groove built from immaculate drums and very little excess. Over on the flip, ‘Time’ is the most direct of the bunch, driven by snappy percussion and rolling low-end pressure. ‘Razor’ lightens the mood through a playful melodic refrain before ‘Telephone Terror’ closes with clipped drums and dubbed-out effects. Another very strong entry from a producer who rarely misses.
Tom Carruthers – Agenda EP [LAX162]
With Agenda EP, Tom Carruthers closes a landmark trilogy on Skylax Records, following Neutralise EP and Deepline. Three records. Fifteen tracks. One coherent vision of machine-driven house music stripped to its raw, functional core. This final chapter dives deeper into direct, club-focused energy, where groove, repetition and tension do the talking. Agenda is less reflective, more physical — built for movement, sweat, and long transitions in dark rooms.
E&S Cooperation. – Alliance EP [PER001]
E&S Cooperation is a collaborative project created by Serasso and Aleksander Erdmann, two artists whose paths have crossed for years through a shared passion for underground electronic music and their involvement in the BDGtroit movement. Rooted in the spirit of classic Chicago House and Detroit House, E&S Cooperation is a return to the essence of dance music — raw grooves, timeless rhythms, analog synthesizers and genuine emotion. After years of friendship, mutual inspiration and countless conversations about music, the duo finally joined forces to create a project that reflects their shared vision. Their debut release, Alliance EP, marks the beginning of this journey and serves as the opening chapter of Pure Essence Raw – a new independent imprint founded to celebrate authenticity, artistic freedom and music created without compromise to trends.

Frits Wentink – Redline EP [ROYAL064]
Dutch producer Frits Wentink returns to Clone Royal Oak with a set of heavy-grooving modern house cuts. Road-tested during a recent Royal Oak label night, these tracks stood out immediately as essential selections for release. A versatile collection of bassline-driven club tracks, unmistakably stamped with Frits Wentink’s pristine signature sound… and Clone Royal Oak approved.
John De La Noise – Piacere D’Estate [SST102]
Supreme Striker returns with its second release confirming the label’s direction: uncompromising underground music built on culture, not trends. The new chapter comes from Italian producer John De La Noise, delivering a powerful and deeply authentic EP entirely co-produced by Michele Lamacchia.

VA – TTJ#6975 [TTJ6975]
Traxx Presents The Definitive Articles of House Music Chapter 7
“The 7th chapter from the definitive days of house music as the previous 6 chapters is education that a lot of alleged “House” DJs and Producers are obviously lacking.
from vintage, out of print and promo labels: trax records, jes-say, ministry of sound, sound signature, dirtyblends, lies, playhouse, relief and ratlife.
and a unpublished joint from the chicago dungeon vault building blocks of the early dance music scene with selections of today and yesterday incorporating musical blueprints of Chicago, New York and Detroit’s timeless heroes we admire, honor and inspired by their education.
we hope this will give people the chance to listen to music many may have never heard on this side of sound that provides a provocative and thoughtful musical workout in your mind with vinyl turntables, a vintage mix console with an effects box and cd players.”
The Naif – Road To Meditation EP [VBRPDD001]
The Naif aka Nicola Facchineri creates ‘Road To Meditation’ EP, an instinctive project inspired by the historic Vibraphone Records label. The mission of The Naif is to create primarily authentic music, in order to suggest differentiation from multiple perspectives both for DJs and for listeners.
Takuya Matsumoto – Song Of The Ocean EP [INEX021]
Japanese DJ and producer Takuya Matsumoto has quietly established himself as one of the most distinctive voices to emerge from Japan’s contemporary house scene. Known for his warm, deeply musical approach to production, Matsumoto blends classic house sensibilities with jazz, funk and soulful influences, crafting records that balance
dancefloor functionality with rich musicality. Across the six tracks Matsumoto once again radiantly showcases the depth of his production skills as the project sonically traverses Balearic-tinged House, bouncy acid-laced electro, cosmic nu-disco, breaks driven jungle and dub infused deep house.
Shin Watanabe – Red Zone-Ethos Mama Trax LP [LIES-227]
The elusive Shin Watanabe, gives us an insane 13 track double LP of absolute deep house mastery. When talking about deep house here, we mean along the lines of greats like Master C+J, Quest, Burrell, or Blue Jean to name a few. Late night mid-tempo dark house sleaze for the corners of the club. Total old school deep cuts in the truest of traditions.
Betonkust – Tropicana Tracks Two [ALT025]
On the 2024 Altered Circuits release ‘Tropicana Tracks’ Rotterdam-based artist Betonkust paid tribute to the former subtropical pool (now a circular entrepreneurship hub) Tropicana of his hometown. ALT025 ‘Tropicana Tracks Two’ is the follow-up: the fallen-from-grace swimming paradise again fuels a club-oriented selection, inspired by, in the artist’s words, “the electronic music from 1988 up until now”, more specifically “the Benelux-sound”.
Serasso – Non Stop [RYDM212]
Non Stop Rhythm with a new release by Serasso.
Marco Passarani – Digipack Vol. 2 [STUDIOMST004]
Studiomaster Digipack Vol. 2 sees Marco Passarani back with another serving of unique club sounds straight from Rome. Following the vibe of the first volume, this new edition delivers his unmistakable blend of house pressure and pure techno. No nostalgia trip here, just functional futurism with character. Whether you know these tunes from online drops or the first 12”, Vol. 2 delivers real deal dancefloor tools ready for heavy rotation. No fillers, just groove for dancers who still believe the floor is a testing ground for what comes next.
Tom Carruthers – Deepline [LAX-SE10]
UK producer Tom Carruthers delivers another masterclass for Skylax, diving deeper into the DNA of house music with ‘Deepline’, a 5-track journey that connects the raw futurism of the late ’80s to the deep innovations of the early ’90s. Known for his MPC-driven grooves, Carruthers has become a true guardian of machine funk — always stripped down, always pure.
