Ron Morelli – Heart Stopper [LIES200]
L.I.E.S. Records founder, Ron Morelli, makes a rare appearance on his own label with his eagerly anticipated double LP, “Heart Stopper”. Heart Stopper is undoubtedly the “dance” record that reaches back to the early days of his L.I.E.S. Records label where artists such as Delroy Edwards, Steve Summers, Traxx, and Svengalisghost all came together digging into the primitive, foundational sounds of original Chicago, New York, and Detroit House music putting it through a contemporary lens. Recorded between 2019-2022, this LP is the culmination of many years of Morelli honing his craft, from digging and studying old records, to focusing and sharpening his production techniques, the L.I.E.S. boss has delivered an album that is a testament of his true love and obsession of the genre, with “Heart Stopper” being the record to cement the now iconic L.I.E.S. legacy even further. In the often shapeshifting world of modern dance music, “Heart Stopper” is what a House record should be. Full of passion and unfiltered emotion, uplifting at moments, pensive at others; with raw, jakin’ drum programming, big basslines, and anthemic synths driving the release throughout.
Nick Holder – Fruit Loops [FCE-07]
FRL Classic Edition is back in action with this gems of mid 90’s. Written and produced by Nick Holder on Definitive Recordings, here you can listen something unique that can smash every dancefloor.
Masarima – Freak Like U Remixes 1 [ROYAL048RE1]
The Italian proto-house bomb from Masarima on Clone Royal Oak gets a well deserved remix treatment. Originally produced by Mystic Jungle and Whodamanny, this one gets a work over by The Egyptian Lover who gets his freak on and delivers in his inimitable style. Pure west coast 808 electro funk bliss. Luca Luzano also comes correct with two remixes where he takes it another route on both. On the ‘Breakbeat Guy Remix’ the early 90s inspire him to a uk breakbeat version. And Karlos Moran joins him for the Tribal Workout Dub not unlike NY’s garage era.

Periferico – Red Line [USR025]
‘Red Line’ is a collection of four archival tracks by Periferico, a lesser-known alias of Italian producer Livio Fogli, noted for his activity in the 90s electronic music scene. Lovingly rescued from DAT and now released by Undersound, this is organically lo-fi acid trance to a T, blending charmingly undermixed elements with chimey progressions and tittilating builds.

Intension – Tragic Revolution (Lennart Edit) [FREE DOWNLOAD]
Tragic Revolution, a New Beat track from 1988, gets an uptempo edit by Lennart. The catchy melodies and dark vocoder voices caught his attention and inspired him to give this song a new twist. Lennart is a 25-year-old producer and DJ from The Netherlands who started working at Slow Motion at the beginning of 2021. This edit was made in the summer of 2021 in the studios of Sameheads in Berlin.

Inspired by the passion for 80s Electro, early Bleep, Techno and House – E-Control transforms sounds and rhythms into his own sequence – his own powerful & mystic D.N.A. engineered to the future.
DMX Krew – Return To Jupiter [GUDU014]
DMX Krew announces his return to Peggy Gou’s Gudu Records with a new four-track EP, sharing the dreamy, Detroit-inspired title track, ‘Return to Jupiter’. Inspired by the futurist funk and vivid synthesiser epics of classic Detroit, ‘Return to Jupiter’ is dripping with richness and colour, driven by the sort of thick analogue basslines and distinctive melodies that have come to define Ed’s catalogue. The EP’s title track sets the tone for what’s to follow, introducing a language of sorts for the record – before ‘Altered Chords’ turns the funk up to 11, ‘U Ain’t Down’ aims its distorted kicks and wiggy, manipulated lead straight at peak time dancefloors, and ‘I Love Juan’ closes the EP on a star-gazing tip.
VA – Raw Viz-Shun EP [UAR012]
Upstairs Asylum Recordings is one of the many seminal Detroit labels run by local legend Norm Talley. It’s right in the middle of a busy run right now with no fewer superb run with three new EPs all dropping in quick succession. This one is a split EP with US duo Solid Gold Playaz taking care of the a-side. As always with this pair, their sounds are deep and dusty house with exquisite melodies tugging at the heart. On the flip, Gari Romalis steps up with the slick percussive skip of ‘Detroit After Dark’ then ‘Panties’ from Brian Neal brings jacked up analogue groves that lean into techno with a big fat bassline.
Legowelt – The MidiVerb Chalice [AXV01]
“The MidiVerb Chalice” is a new, entrancing mini-album poured out from the mind and soul of Danny Wolfers. Here he commands an arsenal of synthesizers and sound artifacts to guide us through the halls of a feverish supernatural rave, weaving together spellbinding sounds and hexing the hordes of EDM. Do you care to sip from the Chalice of MidiVerb? Awaiting you on the other side is a world of kaleidoscopic and hypnotizing techno with an esoteric soul. It only takes a small dose of Danny Wolfer’s concoctions to induce a state of total entrancement.
Voertuig – Techno Garage [TNL-OCS003]
Beyond ecstatic to finally offer a glimpse into the world of Voertuig. Working on music for several years, purely for themselves in sheds and studios tucked away in the outskirts of The Hague, Tonal Oceans presents an album by the four piece act containing music embodying the true spirit of the city.
Halvtrak – Digital Dawn [BLOW12]
Halvtrak returns to Cold Blow with techno-romantic rave escapism, riding Chi House-leaning rhythms and intergalactic Techno sculptures. If his previous “Images By Night” dealt with things nocturnal, Digital Dawn opens the curtains to a blue-eyed retrofuturism, bursting with colour and spark.
