Keep Your Mind Alive is the LPH debut for Rydm Sectors, an Italian duo that bridges classic New York house and UK garage and lightens the resultant hybrid with well-placed sparkly synth work, jazzy drum fills, swanky piano licks. Nightclub music that’s been genetically modified to be just as functional and fun there as it is laying on a breezy beach, soft white sand your pillow, crashing high-tide waves reminder of the nature around you.

Nutcracker. We concluded 2018 with a gentle bed of ethereal, chilly ambient so we could rocket into 2019 with something especially loud, brash, pummeling. Here is ?Lights Out?, a four-track EP by Viers, a.k.a. LK, proprietor of Hokkaido Dance Club and purveyor of surgically-precise, brutal techno, riotous electro, jacked house. If this doesn’t wake you up, nothing will. More

Summertime funtime courtesy of... someone from somewhere. Who know? “Liwando” is Madchester rave culture with a disco underbelly and a bongo and conga fervor. Jacques Renault’s mix somehow manages to cram a few more sticks of dynamite into the mix, beefing up the funkiness quotient (that bass!) and embellishing the breakdowns (that horn!) “Didn’t I (Acid Version)” is definitely the afterward to “Liwando,” a joyous, soaring encore that has, yes, a touch of acid folded in.

Keita Sano returns to Let’s Play House with another album, the physical iteration of which we’re presenting as two separately-packed 12-inch EPs. First is Kubo, a sharp and cutting collection of four house ditties that are equal parts eccentrically off-kilter and warmly welcoming, esoterically out there and remarkably familiar, in a way only Sano can pull off. More

With Totsu , we complete our two-part Keita Sano album. This one, like Kubo before, is a fiery maelstrom of house and disco dance floor destruction that has a dusting of that impossible-to-place Keita Sano absurdity. A magnetic sprint through MPC-fueled workouts, trance-y space-outs, and loopy hypnotizers. Together, Kubo and Totsu make up O¯totsu , an eight-track long-player that will be made available as a digital release as well as a special limited-edition vinyl double-pack More

Lost Loops & Broken Tapes Vol.2 treads the lines between smudged-up disco, raw house and french-touch. Don’t think about that too much, just let the music work its magic… J&AG join the likes of Adesse Versions, Project Pablo and Seb Wildblood on Let’s Play House, the ever-dynamic New York label operated by Nik Mercer and Jacques Renault. More

Three raw, tough, cutting originals from a Brooklyn borough brother only known as Trey. All tracky and dynamic, blunt and deliberate, and most definitely made for clubs that exist on the fringes, in the seedier, stranger corners of the world. To be played during the small hours of the night. More

Wrapping up the summer with a bit of a 90s throwback number by St. David, ?Fools Jam?. The EP opens with the the titual track, a crunchy, crisp deep house burner, and moves on, with “Night Lovers,” into speedier, smoother floor-filling fodder that’s all wiggling, weaving pads and synth leads. The B is a little gentler and more contemplative, but no less melodious; “Dream It (Emphasi Mix)” is a playful yet gauzy piano-led tune that serenades the listener, and “La Luna (Spiritual Dub)” is a tranquil ditty that serenely glides off into the distance. A calming, mellow conclusion to a particularly emotive 12-inch. More

The follow-up to last year’s LPHWHTD! As with the last one, this is a collection of tunes from some of our friends and folks already on the label, though these, unlike those, are 100 percent new—not one of the four has been released online or elsewhere yet. Keita Sano, Klubbhuset, Lovers (Harry Benson, formerly of Sisterhood), and Jacques Renault. Easy! More

Who is Chocki Hookon? You probably know him/her/them, but don’t preoccupy yourself with trying to figure out the mystery. Where’s the fun in that!? These tracks were made to make you dance and that’s all you really need to know. Two originals, two remixes by LPH co­head, Jacques Renault. Limited­edition/vinyl­only release More
