Description: The silence is over! GummiHz is back on the release front! A dedicated frequency explorer, GummiHz follows a phylosophy that making music should always be adventurous, interesting and fun. For this reason, he has dedicated the last couple of years in rebuilding his studio setup and now it is time to share the fruits of this expedition.

"Groove is in the Hertz" includes a selection of recordings, showcasing the perspective of GummiHz on minimal house and techno. The series is split into parts with part one featuring two minimal cuts. "Aerini", on side A, offers eleven and a half minutes of miinimal techno bliss. Anthemic voices combined with live recordings set a balearic atmosphere, while sitting elegantly on top of finely programmed rhythmics and basslines. Flip it over and "Out Out" brings out even more rhythm to the game

Tracklist 12" single:
A. GummiHz - Paraphonic state
B1. Nikola Gala - Paradise (2015 version)
B2. Kindimmer - Everything looks yellow
Short info:
Vinyl release celbrating five years of Claap. Music by GummiHz, Nikola Gala and Kindimmer.
The opening track by GummiHz, titled 'Paraphonic state', explores the beauty of paraphony. Produced solely by using a drum machine and a paraphonic synthesizer, the arrangement focuses on the bare essentials of a monster of a track! Moving between the lines of Detroit techno and minimalism, a sound that GummiHz is famous for. Next up is Nikola Gala with his updated version of 'Paradise'. The track first appeared as a tool on our third release back in 2011. For the five years of the label, Nikola found it appropriate to rework on the tool and turn it into a powerful track. Tight, dirty and raw! Upcoming talent Kindimmer has also become a strong part of our core since his first appearance on Claap. His track 'Everything looks yellow' is another excellent production by an artist who knows how to handle rough and smooth! A smooth melody locks over some solid drums that carry this 'rough' sound that has helped him build a strong reputation amongst fans of electronic music.

Short info:
Nightdrivers are an amazing italian production duo comprising of Niccolo Rufo aka Rufus and Martino Marini aka Mass Prod. The duo caught our attention with previous releases on Bosconi records as well as their recently released "Nightvisions" ep on their self titled Nightdrivers offshoot. Two of Italy's finest comtemporary house producers, "The easy life ep" is a clear reflection of what sets these guys apart. Fresh rolling house grooves composed with an oldschool approach and a touch of their own class. Analogue synths, drum machines and a walkman are the key components to the raw and rich sound of their debut release and it is with great pleasure that we welcome this upcoming act to the Claap camp. All you have to do is place the needle on the record and let the music drive you into the night!

A. Irish Burnout B. Rigel
Its already been a couple of years since the debut release by BODJ on Claap. This young talent has not let the time pass in stagnant waters. On the contrary BODJ has been very concentrated with studio work as well as his dj residency holding the Audiorama nights at the infamous sixdogs club in Athens. The results are two stunning productions evident of the way BODJ's sound has matured and evolved to the right direction. His second solo EP on Claap titled "Irish burnout" features two very well crafted club tracks. Produced for the late hours, this EP sits right on the boundaries bewteen house and techno. Each track follows a moody sonic path reminicent of the dub side of techno, while at the same time the tempo is set to give each element plenty of space to develop within the arrangement. Two tracks carrying the right hypnotic to pump ratio! Making this record functional from the warm up to the closing set! This EP is set take a spot in plenty of record bags out there! All we can here at ClaapHQ is that we did warn you!

Next number on Claap and it is another special offering. For our 16th release we welcome new kid on the Berlin block Kindimmer. We have had an eye on this upcoming creative spirit in a while and everyone was buzzing at ClaapHQ when we got the tracks that Kindimmer sent over. The grooves on both tracks got us so hooked that we asked Kindimmer to produce locked grooves out of these beauties and turn this release into a locked album! On side A "Workz on dope" is a house groove reminiscent of that MCDE aesthetic but done in Kindimmer's own and unique production attitude. Hailing from Volos its by no luck that we have nicknamed Kindimmer as Volos city drum ensemble! Next to "Workz on dope" we have added 3 locked grooves full of elements appealing to the djs who like to work it while playing! On the flip "The distraction of fever" has that characteristic raw detroit vibe. Dominant stabs and a serious groove full of beeef! This one is for these moments when turnng the heat up is the only way to go! There are 3 locked grooves on this side too, which are extracts from "The distraction of fever". Another Claap record set to turn heads and raise hands on the dancefloor. House music from B to the D!

Tracklist 12" single:
New addition to the Claap roster and we welcome Moire Patterns debut EP on the label. To be honest this record is a vinyl sampler of Moire Patterns debut long player coming up on Claap! But lets not spoil all of the magic and keep some details secret still. Moire Patterns combines effortlessly disco, house and techno elements with a punk production attitude! All tracks have been performed live in Moire Patterns' in numerous studio sessions in the past months. If we were to talk geography to describe Niko's (to his friends) sound, then Detroit, San Franciso and Chicago are definetely on the map! Powerful, dancefloor focused and yet airy and deep, the record showcases Moire Patterns different moods and directions. "Deep down" is an excellent floor warmer, stripped down to the basics which urges you to get down! This song appears exclusively on the vinyl release. On the flip "It could only happen with you" has that characteristic raw detroit feel. A track full of energy that can cause serious heat issues on the dancefloor or even your living room! The remix on the same side comes from from Detroit's own Santonio Echols! Santonio needs no introduction really but for history's sake, he has been releasing productions with long time friend and associate Kevin Saunderson on their Reese & Santonio project with noumerous releases on KMS, as well as Chez Damier amongst a plethora of productions dating back to 1987! We cannot even describe how honoured we feel to have a true Detroit legend doing the remix work for us! Santonio has notched up the mood of the original song and has come up with a classy techy mix keeping the energy high all around. Zipping up your boots? We 're going back to the roots!

House up with Claap! Its all about self control and John Dimas is well aware of that. Carrying a string of releases on esteemed labels John has made a quite a reputation for himself bringing a classic Chicago style house sound with that irresistible Dimas signature swing! His tracks have been favourites with djs like D'Julz, Shonky, Loco Dice, Chez Damler amongst many others. To be honest, we are very honored to have these tracks carrying the Claap stamp. John starts off with 'Quick dance', a track which label head Alex Tsotsos better known as GummiHz has been spinning heavily in his sets since a while back. Fresh and bouncy. 'Quick dance' builds up effortlessly to an acid theme as a node to the UK! The title track self control sexes things up as a soft voice sings a chorus repeatedly over a filtered electric piano and a very dominant bassline. Reminiscent of the house sound in Chicago, it has sweat written all over it! Falling skies wraps up the package keeping the mood in swing mode. House music with great attitude which you can play next year too!!

Square room heroes are back on Claap with their debut EP. After releasing "Now is the time" (CLAAP005) back in September the heroes, George and George, have been busy working on new material. The two tracks featured on this EP comprise mainly of works from Thessaloniki's native George Boronas. Crashed detail with its enchanting string arrangement captivated label head GummiHz who immediately rushed to provide a powerful and dramatic interpretation of the original. We are also very excited to have a remix from one of the grooviest house heads around, none other than Ekkohaus. With a string of releases on labels like Moon Harbour, Liebe detail, Morris Audio to name only a few, Kostas Tassopoulos has established a signature sound full of swing and shake!! And his remix on Crashed detail does exactly that. Ekkohaus takes the stabs and chord arrangements to another level over his characteristic swinging beats. On the flip side Pitch the feelings is rough n tough funk reminiscent of early 90s beefy sampling. SRH's George Boronas has chopped a funk groove up to the point of delirium in an effort to pay his dues to influences such as dj Sneak and Carl Craig!! Essential stuff!!

Next release on Claap coming up and it is another GummiHz affair! After his last release on Claap "Head Rush" last summer was snatched by the guys at Defected for the Defected In the House series, Alex is back with his next record aptly titled "Rejuvenation EP". This two tracker carries a pair of absolutely necessary house grooves. Rejuvenation features an elegant arpeggio which builds up to an intense crescendo bound to hypnotize dancefloors the world over. Intense but very elegantly produced it carries Alex's signature sound and explores a similar musical territory to Secret Voyage (CLAAP004) which has received overwhelming responses since its release. The motif on the flip side remains similar but with a more mature soundscape, showcasing Alex's endless sonic diversity. Add a bonus beatzz extract to round up an essential EP for the open air season and not only.
Vital Sales Points:
- Secret Voyage from last GummiHz release on Claap titled "Head Rush" (CLAAP004) licensed by Defected

Coming up on Claap we welcome a new name on the label. BODJ is an upcoming producer from Athens (GR). A fresh face in the scene, BODJ has already had a couple of releases under his belt and caused some serious heat with his "Blisters EP" back in 2010!! "Every Day" is an easy and very classy house cut. Quite emotive with flowing rhythm patterns, it is an ode to every day lovin! On the remix duties, These Days afficionado and man of the moment Argy takes the track into a sweatier territory with his NYC dub mix. While, the love mix explores a more romantic side of the original track. Label head GummiHz rounds up the package with a bubbly night fever mix. A filtered disco house take, reminiscent of french house in the late 90s. Top tip!!
