RAWAX proudly welcomes Dana Ruh to the artist family!
We are very happy to present you "Red Lights In Blue Skies" on HOUSEWAX. We are in love with her hommage to Detroit/ Deep House - hope you too! More

After Dana Ruh highly acclaimed contribution for the SOL10 compilation in 2018, now her 12inch follows with three driving, funky and percussive house tracks! As dj, producer and label owner (Brouquade, Cave Recordings) and co-distribution owner (KMA60), Dana Ruh is one of the driving forces of the Berlin club music scene. Beyond her world-renown dj skills and running a Berlin-based record shop & event space, Dana Ruh has become a prolific producer, who spends every free minute on developing her unique take on electronic music. She releases, not only on her own labels Brouquade and Cave Recordings, but also other imprints like Underground Quality, Ostgut Ton (in collaboration with André Galuzzi) and RDV. Her club music productions are defined by a particular hazy and moody touch. The tracks are well arranged and always contain the right amount of roughness, which lets the music sound alive and organic. With “Still Vase“, Dana Ruh presents three powerful titles from driving and percussive, to funky and stripped down. “My Friendly Fire“ sends us on a hypnotic drive accompanied by warm sub bass frequencies that make your trouser legs flutter. ”Takes Time“ brings you back to reality with its energetic drumming, and the funky, minimal “To Convince“ finalizes this ep with organic percussions and warm sounding strings.

Only four releases into it’s blossoming back catalogue, and Molly’s RDV label continues to establish itself as an unmissable outlet for contemporary house and techno with an EP from long-established, always-vital German producer, Dana Ruh.
The twitchy, rhythmic ‘Natural High’ sets the rhythm, ideal for those easily seduced by Ruh’s indelibly tight drum work (or those about to be converted to it nonetheless). ‘Moonday’ then expands the sound with a deeply satisfying bassline that blossoms in myriad evocative directions, incorporating trippy acid fluctuations, haunting vocals and a general sense of strobe-lit urgency.On the flip, and ‘Vattenfall my A’ establishes the energy which which it shares its namesake, trading in a minimal but flexible bassline and eeking out each ounce of tension, in the confident, minimalist style Dana Ruh is beloved for. To close the EP, Molly herself takes ‘Vattenfall my A’ to task, tunneling deeper still with a remix that establishes several shades of fresh, sensual ambiguity, not to mention, an ominous bassline that flirts with the edge.

Autoreply begins its 10th year with a 12" from one of the scenes favourite ambassadors, Dana Ruh. Equally happy co-running Brouqade and her own Cave Recordings, dropping LP's for Underground Quality or stepping up to Ostgut Ton & Cocoon, hers is a story of emotive, reduced floor-theory. The "Round 2 Reel EP" delivers three such movements kicking-off with an undeviatingly playable A-Side displaying her prowess for swinging, stripped-back house complete with discreet sound design and compulsory bass. The B-Side concentrates on the deeper, dubbier aspect of her sound displaying unparalleled levels of warmth and texture. Written & produced at Polynomstudio, Berlin, recorded to tape for your listening pleasure! More

Just Jack Recordings return with a varied EP, from their good friend Ian Blevins.

Three original tracks, which vary from Detroit dance floor weapons to dreamy left field house, and are backed backed up by a gritty dance floor workout from Secretsundaze... a pair of gentlemen who need no introduction! They pull out all the stops on their first ever remix....this one bangs! More

Just Jack are back with more fire, this time from Brooklyn's Tape Hiss. Synth heavy, acid led grooves are the order of the day on the 3 originals, with Panoramabar's Massimilliano Pagliara providing some serious dance floor heat on the remix.

Col. Wrongface and the Just Jack crew are back with 4 cuts of no nonsense dancefloor bizniz from Boston's rising star - John Barera. John's album Graceless caused quite a stir when it dropped on Steffi's Dolly imprint last year, and here you can see why. 4 tracks of rough and tough analogue sounds complemented with lush melodies and harmonics. Mastered to tape for extra juice. Just Jack will eat your head. More

Following up releases on Tsuba and Djebali's label, Mr KS delivers 'Da Season EP', a balmy concoction of palpable atmospheres and infectious low-end grooves backed up by an acapella and a thoroughly contorted revision from The Mole and Hreno. Make no mistake, this is straight-up dancefloor sleaze that makes you wanna take your shirt off. Viva la Clown! JUST JACK WILL EAT YOUR HEAD! More
