A1. Talking Vintage
A2. Gettin' Down
B1. Can Do It
B2. Disco Africana

Short info:

German producer, DJ and label-owner Phonk D, who has risen fast to stardom in 2018, is back once again on NDYD Records with his sequel-release ‘Disco Goodies Pt.2’, an outstanding four-tracker that should instantly do the trick to boost his career even further.
From ‘Talking Vintage’, an quite energetic floor-filler with a feel-good sound thanks to the percussions that will last in your memory for some time, to ‘Gettin’ Down’, a homage to the French 70’s on the southern shores of the Cote d’Azur, the charismatic producer keeps the level at the very top of the game. The b-side complements the funky ride with the pumping disco-sensation ‘Can Do It’ while ‘Disco Africana’, with its lovely afro disco-touch rounds up the picture of the 30th release on the emerging German label from the city of Frankfurt.

A1. Darlin' Playa
A2. Pink Champagne
B1. Paradise Voyage
B2. Maintain

Short info:
Phonk D debuts on NDYD Records with his latest baby, the 'Disco Goodies' which contain four stellar tracks, each one with a unique twist and made within the last three years. Like wine these creations got better with time. From the smoothly rolling 'Darlin' Playa' to the more dreamy 'Pink Champagne', the German veteran-producer excels in many ways when it comes to funky and discoish sampling. The intensity doesn't stop on 'Paradise Voyage' and the fat-paced 'Maintain' is truly maintaining the highest level possible in terms of dance-floor-filling sounds.
'Disco Goodies' are packed with highlights and sounds that that are going to stick to your memory like kids to cotton candy.

Info:
You could not miss the 4/4 Kickdrum during the 90s in the Rhein-Main-Area around Frankfurt/Germany. Therefore Phonk D's first attempts on House and Techno were pretty successful during this period. But his feet being too big for just one dancefloor he developed a taste for Funk, Disco and Hiphop, too. So all these influences kept on working together and - as a result - in 2014 he founded his own label "Footjob". Three records have been released so far, all of them collaborations with friends, and now no.4 is ready to take off - being Phonk D's first solo project: Expect some heavy Phonk to get your foot-job done!

Shortinfo:
Once upon a time, the footjob crew moved into a new studio space in their hometown Darmstadt. This location was previously used by a religious community that found its purpose in the worship of Shiloh.
Phonk D and Sascha Ciminiera have somehow absorbed the spirit and created this EP as if by magic. In order to enjoy this spiritual journey even more, they asked Johannes “the wizard” Albert for his support. He was immediatly hooked, threw a few herbs together and brewed them a tasty remix.

Shortinfo:

After keeping an eye on Shan as a desired candidate for a while now, we proudly announce to launch his latest release via Footjob. His records on Running Back, Beats in Space & The Healing Company during the last 5 years were critically well received and put him on the musical map - a highly gifted producer who's capable of going into many directions. His "Filterjob EP" takes us back to the golden era of Sample House. Driving beats combined with filtered Disco melodies never get out of style. If anyone it's Shan who's able to play with this type of sound and manages to deliver three superb dance floor bangers in Filterjob, On & On and Serious. To rounds things up, the EP finishes with a raw and dusty Deep House Banger called Ruff Draft Pt.2

Shortinfo:

After being absent for a while, Glance is returning with a uncompromising authentic record on Footjob. It recently has become quieter around the man who used to be a founding member of Running Back, but for this occasion he went and dug in his archives and came back with some beautiful old tracks, just to compile them in a classic, full of groove second Footjob EP. As a bonus he finishes and ends the record with two Downbeat sounding songs in reminiscence of his former genre crossing alter ego Siro. So this goes out to all the realkeeper, oldschooler und newcats. Glance is back on the map.

Shortinfo:
The producer crew around footjob completes catalogue number 12 with the first ever label-sampler, highlighting their love for a variety of styles. Le Rubrique starts the journey with an afro disco banger, followed by a funky piano piece from Phonk D and the jazz formation Triorität for all the old school lovers out there. The flipside continues with an extraordinary dancefloor filler by Lukas Lehmann and the label's own supergroup Pallaspeople. On the last track Sascha Ciminiera takes us into the deepness of meditative house music with a sexy sax line. You better cop that!

Tracklist:
A1. Q & H (Original Mix) A2. Q & H (Lorenz Rhode Remix)
B1. Solid / Fragile (Coexistence) B2. Nothing But A Heartache
Shortinfo:
With Lukas Lehmann, a new face joins the footjob-squad. Out of his estimated 7.436 unfinished projects, he managed to complete three tracks, bag a remix and bundle it all up to what will hit the stores as "This Is Why" EP.
The A-Side kicks off with the discoish banger "Q&H" and a beautiful synth-heavy remix by Lorenz Rhode - not only famous for his releases on Compost Records or Exploited but also for taking Detroit-Swindle-Liveshows to another level with his godlike keys-skills.
The deeper side of Lukas' sound is represented on the B-Side. Starting with edgy piano chords, "Solid/Fragile (Coexistence)" introduces an enchanting arpeggio midway through the track. With its distinctive strings, "Nothing But A Heartache" makes for a semi-sentimental yet still hips-moving finisher.

Shortinfo:
Sascha Ciminiera is a familiar face from Footjob, member of the label's own Supergroup "Pallaspeople" and also famous for his tasty Bolognese sauce. With "Lights" he created a dreamy balearic tune that found its way into Gerd Janson's Groove Podcast. As a consequence, Janson and his partner in crime Phillip Lauer AKA Tuff City Kids played around with the 808 and turned it to a great dancefloor version. Phonk D completed the jubilee release with a classic House rework and on top, the Tuff City Kids Remix is added as a dub version.

Shortinfo:
No one else but one of Chicago's finest DJ Lil 'Tal is responsible for the ninth Footjob release. The underground veteran has brought himself to attention in the 90s by releasing on the legendary label Dance Mania.
"Who Came To Boogie" on the A-side is a pretty disco loop combined with tight and uncompromising drums - undeniably an ear-piercing banger - followed by the label owner Phonk D's insane filtered remix version.
The B-side consists of the rough, reduced-to-minimal drum track "Jack Your House" plus the funky sample tune "Buzz The Doctor" with a beat that makes your dancing feet run straight to hospital.

As a very special goodie they could team up with the great Borrowed Identity, who contributed a pretty nice remix to this EP. Watch your feet!

B1. When I’m With You ft. Jasper Tygner
B2. False Attraction
B3. Memories Fade

Release Info:
Ever since the release of his masterpiece Winona it’s hard to imagine modern electronic dance music without DJ BORING. A progressive traditionalist DJ BORING finds new ways in old maps. Just like Beautiful Strangers. The lead single to his correspondent debut EP for Running Back illustrates his kaleidoscopic sound aesthetic and refreshing style. Harking back to the aural palette of BORING’s formative years in the early 2000s it manages to bridge infatuation and lovesickness wistfulness and bliss as well sundowns and sunrises dance floors and living rooms – and that is no mean feat.

Tracklist

A1. Love Seeking
A2. Love Seeking – Club Mix
B1. Love Seeking – Âme Remix


The brothers Fognini aka Mind Against return to Life And Death with their new single Love Seeking with a remix from friends and fellow masters of the emotional dancefloor Âme.
It’s fitting that techno storytellers Mind Against should revisit the home of their first EP with a revamped sound and turbo-charged take on current-day disco. Their history with DJ Tennis and Life and Death is almost as old as the label itself, harking back to their days living together in Berlin.
Now the brothers leave behind their signature hypnotic techno palette for a boogie-fied stepper that’s equal parts pop breeze and deep synth trip, full of hopeful anticipation. For the remix, Innervisions duo and cultural tour-de-force Âme twist the knobs and stretch out the heartstrings for an extended slice of big room goosebumps.
In the words of Mind Against themselves:
“10 years after releasing our very first EP Atlant on Life and Death, we’re excited to come back to our first imprint with such a special track and remix by Âme.
We’ve stepped out of our usual comfort zone and done something that can be both linked to our own musical world and to the sounds that Life and Death have evolved in recent years.
Our friendship with DJ Tennis is about as old as the label is, bringing us back to the times we used to share a flat in Kreuzberg. One may say this release is both an ode to the past and to a bright future, full of promises.”

Format : Vinyl 12” (180 gr., Limited Full Cover)

Track list:
A That’s Right
B1 Minor Fools
B2 Soul’s Lament

Release Info:

“Pumping, vibrant, and packed with energy”: Iconic duo Dam Swindle deliver once again with their ‘Minor fools’ EP.

Last year, Dam Swindle celebrated their 10 year anniversary with the ‘Keep on Swindling’ series. The hard-hitters ‘All I want’, ‘Good woman’, and ‘You’ showed various sides of that much loved Swindle sound as well as some steps into a more leftfield electronic area. Now, they’re back on Heist with a 3-track club EP full of that recognizable upbeat energy.

‘That’s Right’ has Dam Swindle in full live mode, not unlike their timeless classic “Call of the Wild feat. Jungle by Night”. Live keys, bass, percussion, and horns (the latter by the Jungle by Night’s trumpet guru Bo Floor) give you the feeling like you’re on stage with a full band, hearing them give their all to record this heartwarming piece of music. Over the course of its 7 minutes, the duo takes you on an electrifying feel-good trip through the Swindle sonic universe.

On The EP title track ‘Minor fools’, Dam Swindle go into classic US house mode. Shuffling hats, a bouncy bass and male vocal chops lay the foundation for some crunchy jazz chords (think Underground Resistance with a Swindle touch). The track builds tension with haunting organs, looped vocals and smart modulation in the keys. Add to that the bouncy synth section at the heart of the track and you’ve got a jam that slaps hard in the best way imaginable.

The EP ends with the dreamy & contemplative ‘Soul’s lament’; A slow burner that builds and builds on a relentless rhythm of bells and skipping hi-hats. Slowly, a massive string section takes control of the track, after which, an acid line takes over that gives the track its driving electronic touch. It’s a welcome deep note to an EP that shows you exactly why Dam Swindle are such well respected and versatile producers.

Grab this record while you can and dance, dance, dance!

Heist Recordings.

Tracklist 12":

A1) So Damn Electrik
A2) Elektrik Deep
B1) Ass Is Gonna Work
B2) West Side Radio


DJ SNEAK on Toy Tonics! Yes. It's happening. Another US legend joins the German house label. After Kai Alcé (EP on Toy Tonics in September 2023) and Joe Claussell who did an amazing remix for the label some time ago, now it's DJ Sneak. It makes sense as Toy Tonics stands for that funky mix of three main inflences: original amercian soul based house music, the italo disco heritage and the more London or Paris 1990ies wildstyle house sound. DJ Sneak reached out to the label last year giving his props and showing love for many of Toy Tonics releases and the guys immediately invited him to join the label with an EP as its also his sound that is getting so popular again with the younger dance generation. So here it is: 6 tracks (4 on the vinyl) that remind the classic, bumpin DJ Sneak sound. Full of energy and emotion. Perfect for the dance floors of today and great to introduce the maestro to the kids who love house now but never heard about the grandmasters.

"I keep asking myself where they take all that brilliant music from. It's just as if somebody had poked a bees' nest and then it all burst out. I feel deeply connected to the Pampa Style..." (Terry Hogann, The Musical Mistress, 10/2010).
As was to be expected, Pampa is steadily developing into a platform for cross-border electronic dance music. Each Pampa release sounds different from the previous and still Pampa remains a conclusive musical planet. This is all the more surprising in the case of PAMPA005, which features two completely different artists:
Side A: Nathan Fake - Xmas Rush
Having reportedly recorded his track "Xmas Rush" in his London studio during a jam session, Nathan Fake (Border Community, Traum, SAW) has turned in a total brainfuck. It's mercylessly exaggerated, psychedelic, inexorable, and at the same time sweet and heart-warming. A very rare mixture. Unique in its consistency, we haven't heard anything like it since the 90s. It's so nice and overwhelming to have your ears exercised the right way again. Evergreen...
Side AA: DJ Koze pays tribute to Michael Smith - "Mi Cyaan believe it"
In the meantime, DJ Koze has moved on to completely different spheres. Once again, he astonishes his public with an extremely danceable version of Michael Smith's "Mi Cyaan Believe It". Having originally started off as a digital error, and recorded within a single night, this tune recalls the ruthlessness, rawness and revolutionary energy of Public Enemy. You can literally see SW1 deploying on the balcony of Amnesia, shitting down diarrhea. The rough and dry beat sets the perfect scenery for the breath-taking lyrics by Michael Smith, the great dub poet, who was tragically beaten to death by political opponents in Jamaica in 1983 (the incident sadly occurred on Marcus Garvey's birthday), alongside Linton Kwesi Johnson, and Mutabaruka, who was one of the most well-known dub poets.
