124Recordings are back with release number eleven the 'Twin Suns' EP,representing the new generation of producers.First up is an exciting collaboration between Pascal Viscardi and Hugo LX.Both names are well known and respected individually from releases on Courtesy of Balance,MLIU,Frole and Traxx Underground,and this is the first time they have released a track together.Twin Suns is a homage to when house tracks were made straight to tape,with a killer juno bassline and raw beats.Next are two young producers from Germany.Das Carma's 'Vitual Reality' doesnt hold back with a thunderous kick,rumbling bass and gritty stab.Philladelphia's Matpat closes the first side with 'Work Dis'.With its clever use of a DJ Deeon sample,its a raw stripped down 808 groove.The second side opens with Parisian duo Dub Striker,which glides along with warm embracing chords,soft pads underpinned by a bumping bassline,before Fonso closes the release with the hypnotic '28 Days'.

124Recordings return for their final release for 2013,the follow up to the original 'Undeground Frequencies' EP that helped establish the label back in December.Again it features four producers covering all bases of house music.First up and needing no introduction is well respected producer James Johnston with the solid percussive drive of 'Dont Need U' underpinned by a huge reversed bassline,punchy chords and hypnotic female vocal.Next is rising talent Liam Geddes who takes things deeper with 'Besoin D'Amour' with its soothing spoken vocal ,delicate pads complete with depth charge sub and twisted horn sample.Third is the pairing of two producers/label owners,Tom Lynch from WeCtrl/Development Music and Eddie Leader of Hudd Traxx.Here 'Mrs Saturday Night' slowly builds with delicate layers of bubbling synth before a sublime breakdown takes the track into a completely different direction.Finally but by no means least is Banjax with 'Smoked' a real throwback to the warehouse days with its shuddering bass leading into bouncy chords and heavy 909 percussion.

For 124 Recordings' 4th release, Austrian producer Fabe steps up, and with the help of 2 killer remixes, delivers an EP that ticks all the boxes.
The original "Dusty Chords" starts as it means to go on with a baseline that instantly draws you into the groove before the chords lighten the mood and show you what this track is all about. Lush pads lift the track again and the ever evolving sounds keep you well and truly locked in as the track twists and turns to it's climax. Swiss man of the moment Washerman is first up on remix duties taking a more direct route. His trademark beats are quick to get going before playing in his own riff with the original chords. Lush pads again provide a lift and vocal snippets from the original give this remix a real feel good vibe. Rounding the EP off in style is a slow burning and deeper mix from Desos. Blissed out chords and a floating string are complimented by a killer baseline to give this track an irresistible contrast that makes it perfect for warming up the club. Support from Milton Jackson,Washerman,James Johnston, Jason Bye(We Love@Space/Playmore Terry's) & Desos.

Release #003 see’s the introduction of three French producer's, all are based in Paris with a passion and love for the house sounds from Chicago and Detroit forming a blueprint for the 'Dubble Dubs'EP.First up is Karol Herse aka K-One with 'Escape',a thunderous kick and skipping percussion with hypnotic chords that builds before a great drop takes things down,before building it all back up again into the second half of the track.Next up is Janeret's 'Let's Get Back' with a deep rumbling bassline,raw stab's and almost jazz influenced organ sound takes us back to the early American House sounds of the early 90's,recreating the pure uplifiting nature of those tracks with a modern sensibility perfectly.Next up is Manu Sene or St-Sene with the raw and heavy 'Juke Joint',which makes no compromises with its tough old school drum programming,raw chords and cut-up vocal samples leading to a mighty piano breakdown..Last but by no means least is Janeret's second contribution 'NY Flava',the deepest cut on the EP with a warm bassline and sparse percussion underpinning intricate chord progressions and atmospheric pads.The skills of this trio are here for all to see,and this third release will continue to help build 124 Recordings growing reputation. Support from Milton Jackson, Washerman, Nicholas, The Legendary 1979 Orchestra, James Johnston, Lady Blaktronica and Tomska.

124 Recordings are pleased to introduce their first release,Joey Kay's 'Toy Piano' with a remix courtesy of Washerman.Joey Kay from Chicago has been producing since 1989,and has only chosen to appear on a small number of releases,starting with "Eclectiz" (House Jam - 1994).He has also appeared on the highly influential 'My Love Is Underground Label' MLIU09 in 2012,where his track 'Fill Er Up' was championed by label owner Jeremy Underground Paris.He has also recently appeared on the 'Welcome Back To The Underground' label in Paris WBTTU#3 with the track 'Fewer Than None'.'Toy Piano' is the real sound of Chicago House Music,with its bumping,raw groove,made by one of its own,who was there when it all began.On remix duty we have a man who needs no introduction-Switzerland's Gianni Siravo,aka Azuni aka Washerman.To say he has been prolific in terms of House Music would be an understatement,from Azuni's seminal 'Raw Chord' to 'Here You Come/Believe' with releases on Boe Recordings,Morris Audio,and Compost's Drumpoet Community.It was on the latter label that he became widely know,as Washerman and the massive 'Basement Chord'.Here he takes Joey Kay's original mix and takes it deeper and darker,giving it a Wild Pitch old school flavour.This will be a vinyl only release-enjoy!
