Two Dogs In A House – Eliminator EP [LIES016]

September 27, 2012September 7, 2020 hipodromeelectronics, l.i.e.s., long island electrical systems, ron morelli, steve summers, two dogs in a houseLeave a comment

Two Dogs in a House, aka Steve Summers & Ron Morelli, took to a secluded studio in Stockholm Sweden during spring 2012 to record while on the road. Here we have the result of uninhibited access to machines with no time constraints and no distractions from the outside world. This freedom allowed the duo to expand upon their ideas of deconstructing conventional song structure and harnessing the power of what immediately surrounded them in the moment. Two full side tracks that will absolutely crush and/or isolate anyone who crosses through the sonic pathway of them. Perfect sounds for the apocalyptic world we live in.

Delroy Edwards – 4 Club Use Only EP [LIES015]

September 21, 2012May 25, 2018 hipodromeacid, chicago house, delroy edwards, l.i.e.s., long island electrical systemsLeave a comment

Delroy Edwards steps up with his debut release for L.I.E.S. Musically Edwards takes his influences from that Barney’s Ghetto sound with oversaturated 909 shuffling highs, DX bells, 101 filters and ends up making fresh, and yes, melodic ghetto style tracks that somehow get stuck in your head even without vocals. A unique take on a modern classic with the dancefloor in mind.

Trackman Lafonte & Bon Qui Qui – Pacific House EP [LIES013]

August 20, 2012March 25, 2019 hipodromebon qui qui, chicago house, l.i.e.s., legowelt, long island electrical systems, trackman lafonte, xosarLeave a comment

New Trackman Lafonte & Bon Qui Qui aka Legowelt & Xosar. Raw analogue house music. When computer programmer and music enthusiast Lowrell “Trackman” LaFonte was relocated to a small suburb North of Santa Barbra California a chance encounter brought him to meet Bonquiqui Pardue. As he scoured his local break to find someone with a resin patch kit to fix a fresh ding in his favorite tri-fin fishtail, Bonquiqui, dental hygienist, and also an avid surfer just so happened to have a kit handy and a union was born. From this moment on Lafonte & Bonquiqui were inseparable, often hitting the clubs and immersing themselves in Latin Freestyle and obscure local house productions from the smog filled Valley. As it would have it, eventually the two moved in together and began working on their own music, using strictly Casio drum machines and keyboards. Inadvertently, Lafonte & Bonquiqui pioneered a sound now known by the masses as “Surfer House.” These three tracks stand as a testament to a time in California music history that can never be recreated, no matter how hard the posuers at the local break try.

Bad News – Real Bad News [LIES012.5]

August 6, 2012July 19, 2023 hipodromebad news, chicago, doug lee, house, l.i.e.s., lee douglas, long island electrical systems, ron morelliLeave a comment

Two mega dancefloor tracks made by Doug Lee (Stallions, TBD) and L.I.E.S. label boss Ron Morelli. Real Bad News reminds us of the Cajual/Relief records days with heavy drums and a massive breakdown that is sure to totally confuse or drive people insane. The B-side’s More Bad News is a massive morphing track that sounds like a dying animal trying to escape a garbage can. It’s like German shuffle track through the eyes of two drunk and delusional Americans.

Mutant Beat Dance – Urban Dust [LIES014]

July 27, 2012March 15, 2022 hipodromebeau wanzer, chicago, house, l.i.e.s., long island electrical systems, mutant beat dance, traxxLeave a comment

While everyone was sleeping Mutant Beat Dance (the production duo of Chicago’s Traxx and Beau Wanzer) were in the studio cooking up something nasty. If you know these guys then you know they are out to push music into a different realm every time they work. On this 12″ we get two very different songs, the lead cut being driven by 727s, JX-3P bass, and some sampled horns which make this a driving and funky excursion bring you back to another time and place. Sketch III clocks in at around 110 bpms and drives on and on and on, plodding through the depths of your mind while conflicting voices (mis)guide you through your trip. Strictly for the freakz.

Shimmering VHS haze from NYC’s Torn Hawk aka Luke Wyatt. The world of Torn Hawk lies somewhere in-between slo-mo cosmic balearic sunrise/sunset music, kraut experimentations. All around though, Wyatt’s music feels like getting busted watching scrambled static ridden cable porno in your aunt’s wood paneled basement while smoking a pack of stolen Newports. Four amazing tracks on this limited debut release.

Italian producer Nick Anthony Simoncino continues his prolific production run with a new four track EP, staying on course producing classic house music. True to form, tropically tinged, melodic, deep house music that will sound perfect in the upcoming summer months.

Very much unclassifiable house not/ techno/ not disco debut coming from recent NYC transplant, Bookworms. Blown out sample chops, synched up drum machines with those Barney’s claps and outboard synths play throughout making these two jams more than interesting excursions into an intimate place that we just can’t place our finger on still.

April 13, 2012August 17, 2023 hipodromealbum, experimental, jahiliyya fields, l.i.e.s., leftfield, long island electrical systems, matt morandiLeave a comment

Very strong double LP of beautifully executed synth explorations. Moving further into territories of experimental electronics comes debut album from this Brooklyn artist, Jahiliyya Fields. This double lp evokes emotions of equal pain, passion, beauty and disgust as it delves into areas of the psyche many are afraid to come in contact with. Read between the lines, close your eyes and listen. Not unlike new age music of the past meeting the harsh textures of the early industrial pioneers, this music serves as another narrative to our quickly deteriorating Western societal structure. Outsider music for those of us pushed to the side and living on the fringe.

Three tracks of paranoid Industrial techno coming straight from the guts of New York City! All songs therein have been recorded live in one take, with no editing. Here is urgent and immediate music which claws at the eyes of society and reflects the fucked up world we live ineveryday.

MOORE, Steve - Panther Moderns EP (Front Cover)

New ep from Steve Moore which hits hard straight from the get go, as the title track Panther Moderns sees Moore moving into bleaker, mid-tempo musical territories with this brutally haunting, sparse, yet, funk ridden cut. Beyond Tykens Rift is the light at the end of the tunnel with its melodic and uplifting techno/new age leanings while the b-side’s Ancient Shorelines I., which opens with heavy arpeggios and a plodding kick, creates desolate landscapes of still to be discovered planets as the song’s dramatic narrative unfolds.

Svengalisghost – Mind Control EP [LIES009]

February 8, 2012September 7, 2020 hipodromehouse, l.i.e.s., long island electrical systems, marquis cooper, svengalisghost3 Comments

Another new artist making their vinyl debut on L.I.E.S. After being brought to the attention of the L.I.E.S. camp almost five years ago by New York legend PorkChop (SSPS/Nation/Excepter) the goal was to release something by the mythical figure known back then as, Below Underground. As time passed from 2007 to the present PorkChop had continued to pass along the music of his friend from Chicago every time we dj’ed together. As L.I.E.S. took shape I had made contact with the artist and discussed the prospect of getting a hold of his archive of songs and releasing some of them, only to find out most of his early recordings had been lost (thankfully, due to PorkChop we recovered them). Now transformed and known as Svengalisghost, we present three undeniably original compositions from these sessions which sit in the grey area where early house music and primitive industrial electronics met and existed on the same plain.

Xosar – Tropical Cruize EP [LIES008]

November 22, 2011November 13, 2012 hipodromeghosthouse, l.i.e.s., long island electrical systems, xosar1 Comment

Debut record by the cloaked, shadow-lurking underground figure Xosar, pushes forth into the realm of cosmic mysticism with a new style of occult-tinged public access house music. Through the three tracks the artist touches upon elements of U.R. styled hi-tech trance, UK bleep, and lo-fi chi-town realness creating cohesive and effective dancefloor cuts.

Maxmillion Dunbar – Everyday [LIES007.5]

Maxmillion Dunbar dropping a crazy limited three tracker for the L.I.E.S. label. The A-side is a unique style of lush, dreamy, chopped up slo-mo house music. Flip to the b-side for two tracks of straight up nastiness. Two mixers that serve as nice as hell dj tools to slide in and out of the mix, the vocal chop of Stayin Away stutters through off kilter synth and drum fills while Cassette Arabic drives hard with some bouncing ethno bass and vocals straight outta 1986 Belgium.

Composing an entire electronic album around the notorious 15th Century Cult Of Assassins, New Jersey based producer Jorge Velez, better known as Professor Genius, has created a unique and ambitious piece of work, under the guise of “Hassan”. Largely based around layered atmospheric Arabic-styled synth work and sparse percussion throughout, Hassan employs an entirely electronic palette to bring listeners into a secret world filled with darkness, drama, triumph and chaotic dissonance. The release includes also remixes by Steve Moore, Marcos Cabral and Steve Summers.

CABRAL, Marcos - 24 Hour Flight

Marcos Cabral, half of Runaway, takes an unexpectedly nice departure from his previous works with three refreshingly varied original tracks. The A-side title track 24 Hour Flight develops as a late night, muted chord-driven filtered techno mixer which nicely compliments the A.2 track Cassandra with swelling bass and mellow dub-techno influences . Filling the entire b-side at almost 13 minutes is the analog house jam Freckles, complete with bright synth washes, 707 drums, and maybe even a breathing vocal buried in there somewhere as the jam goes on and on.

Steve Summers – Mode for love EP [LIES006]

Jason Letkiewicz aka Steve Summers latest EP moves forward from his previous efforts touching upon the seedier and more jacking side of what New York City House music once was. Bringing to mind images of a more dangerous and exciting city where crackheads roamed free, hookers hooked, fiends copped bags and music existed as a reactionary reflection of its surroundings. Directly influenced by these times, Summers took his arsenal and concocted an emotional four song record that nods to this period as well as foreshadows the impending doom of a city wrapped in an airtight bubble.
