Colkin - ft. Javonntte - Enjoy Yourself (Melchior Sultana Remix)
RAW SOUL's fifth release sees Wuppertal-based producer and Mauke Club co-founder Colkin step up with Gare de L'Est - a deep and personal three-tracker, written during his time in Paris.
Warmly textured and rhythmically focused, the EP fuses analog groove science with melodic depth. It features standout contributions from Javonntte and Kevin7, alongside a beautifully nuanced remix from Melchior Sultana on the B-side.
Colkin channels his background in community-driven club culture into a record that's as heartfelt as it is floor-ready - a timeless ode to connection, cities, and the music that moves between them.
From Paris to Wuppertal and beyond - this one's for the dancers.

Jakob Mäder - Kitchen (Feat. Markus Phillip)
For its eleventh installment, Raw Soul continues to carve out its place in the deeper end of the house spectrum, this time welcoming Stuttgart-based DJ and producer Jakob Mäder to the fold.
Titled "House Your Feeling", the five-track EP captures Mäder's wide-ranging musical language-rooted in house, yet drifting effortlessly into ambient textures, disco-tinted warmth, and subtly experimental structures. It's a body of work that feels both intimate and expansive, equally suited for late-night listening and early-morning dancefloors.
The collaboration has been a long time in the making. Built over months of close exchange, the project reflects not only a shared musical vision but also a genuine personal connection. That sense of trust and patience resonates throughout the record-carefully crafted, unhurried, and deeply felt.
Across the EP, Mäder explores different shades of house music: from reduced, dreamy cuts to more groove-driven moments, always maintaining a distinct emotional core. One of the highlights comes in the form of a collaboration with Markus Phillip, adding another layer of depth to an already rich release.
Known for his work with the Midnight Service crew and his eclectic productions spanning ambient, deep house and breakbeat, Mäder brings a refined yet playful touch to Raw Soul's catalogue. With "House Your Feeling", he delivers a timeless contribution that feels grounded in the present while nodding to the genre's enduring legacy.

Info:
Telling a tale of house music’s early days or roots without mentioning Tony Humphries as a club DJ, remixer and radio disc jockey would make it an incomplete, forged and most of all a bit of a yawn.
Born in Brooklyn in 1957, Humphries’ musical journey is synonymous with New York City’s dance music history and the evolution from uptempo soul music to house: from being a dancer at David Mancuso’s infamous Loft parties to becoming a mobile DJ and getting the call from Shep Pettibone to become his right hand at
the then new Kiss FM radio station, followed by countless remix offers and a legendary residency at Newark’s Club Zanzibar. Next to that one, is was especially his work as a radio disc jockey for said station during most of the 1980s until 1994 that gave him majestic clout. Breaking new records week in, week out,
putting New Jersey acts like Adeva and Jomanda or countless up-and-coming producers from there on the musical map, while simultaneously playing the hottest imports from Europe, trax from Chicago, dance classics and all things straight from New York’s music factory that never seemed to stop.
Going to his vast and almost complete archive of radio shows from way back when he graced those airwaves, we at Running Back Records have picked original recordings that symbolize his importance as an industry giant and ambassador of this style of music.
„But one thing I would like to point out is that, as a DJ, the music I play is not my music. I want to make it perfectly clear that it is music that is released, and it’s everyone’s music. I do not take any other credit than being the middle person exposing this music.“

Tracklist
A.Kerri Chandler - Kerri Kaoz Beats *
B. Dee Dee Brave - My My Lover (Tony Humphries Dub)*
(*Previously unreleased)
Info:
Two lost cuts from the orbit of Tony Humphries surface at last, pulled straight from acetates in his private archive and pressed here for the first time. Unearthed like messages from the booth itself, they capture that raw, transitional moment when club music was still inventing its own language night after night.
On the A-side, Kerri Chandler with “Kerri Kaoz Beats”, a stripped, swinging tool full of basement pressure and early-morning intent. No excess, no compromise, just Kerri doing what Kerri does best. Flip it over for Dee Dee Brave – “My My Lover (Tony Humphries Dub)”, a previously unheard Humphries reconstruction that stretches the vocal into something deeper, moodier and unmistakably floor-ready. Spacious, patient, and quietly euphoric.
Two pieces of house history that never made it past the acetate stage until now. Not revisions, not edits, but originals finally stepping into the light. Essential documents from the roots that still point forward.

Sales Note
Sleeparchive and Oliver Rosemann present a collaborative EP built as a shared system rather than a dialogue.
It is procedural: reduction, iteration, feedback.
Elements are introduced to be tested against the system. Changes occur slowly, often at the edge of perception, creating tension through persistence. This record documents convergence. A temporary alignment of processes, tools and timing.
The Sunken EP is cut for long-form playback, where variation becomes noticeable through duration to put you into a hypnotic state.

Arpy Brown & Kapote Announce Collaborative Album Memento Ludi via Toy Tonics
A sun-drenched fusion of yacht rock, house and modern indie dance energy – out June 26, 2026
BERLIN, GERMANY — Toy Tonics is proud to announce Memento Ludi, the first collaborative album by label founder Kapote and multi-instrumentalist producer Arpy Brown, arriving June 26, 2026.
The album is a funk-driven journey that bridges the warmth of 1970s analog recordings with the pulse of contemporary dance music. Blending neo-soul grooves, yacht rock harmonies and modern house rhythms, Memento Ludi captures the spirit of classic musicianship within a forward-looking club context.
But Memento Ludi is more than a typical house record. The album moves fluidly between dancefloor tracks and fully developed songs. Every instrument was performed live by the artists themselves: guitars, bass, keyboards and percussion recorded in the studio by Arpy and Kapote. After jamming and recording the basis of every song in a live procedure they carefully resample the parts to create the organic, human touch that defines the Toy Tonics sound.
The title Memento Ludi — Latin for “remember to play” — reflects the album’s philosophy: bringing joy, spontaneity and musicality back into dance music at a time when many club tracks feel increasingly mechanical and formulaic.
The collaboration arrives during a particularly busy moment for both artists. While spending countless hours in the studio, Kapote and Arpy Brown have also maintained intensive international touring schedules with the Toy Tonics crew, road-testing many of the tracks as “secret weapons” in their DJ sets from Melbourne to Los Angeles via their homebase Berlin.
“We wanted to make a record that felt like a lost studio session from 1978 — resampled and synthesised in 2026,” says Kapote.

Johannes Albert - Wing House (Shan Remix)

Max Lessig - Jupiter Hymn
Genre: House
Tracklist 12”:
A1 David Jackson “Broken Heart" (06:45)
B1 Johannes Albert "Giovanni Frizzante" (06:10)
B1 Johannes Albert "Wing House (Shan Remix)" (06:45)
B2 Max Lessig "Jupiter Hymn" (05:57)
Short Info: Amateur forever? Oh yeah! “Amateur Hour” celebrates 15 years of Frank Music - still running on pure DIY energy, with Johannes Albert happily admitting he’s got no master plan, just a deep feel for House Music. And somehow, nearly 80 releases later, that instinct still hits. Volume I digs into the archives: forgotten cuts, long out of print, quietly becoming cult favorites. David Jackson’s “Broken Heart” returns to wax, alongside J.A.’s own “Giovanni Frizzante" if Italo is still your thing.
Flip it over and it gets deeper: Shan reworks “Wing House” into something massive, while Max Lessig closes things out with the understated, timeless glow of “Jupiter Hymn”.
Let's be frank. Once again.
Vital Sales Points:
- full printed cover
- 15 years label compilation vol I

Max Sinàl - Healing Ft Liv East
SQR021 Draft
Soul Quest Records proudly presents SQR021 – Healing EP, the first release of 2026 from
label co-founder and London deep house torchbearer Max Sinàl.
More than just a collection of club-ready cuts, Healing EP is a deeply personal body of work.
The project is built around a narrative of Max’s mental health journey, with each track
representing a different chapter in his life, moments where his mental wellbeing was tested,
reshaped and ultimately strengthened. Sonically, each record inhabits its own distinct space,
reflecting the emotional contrasts of those periods, before culminating in a closing statement of
healing… a journey that, as Max emphasises, remains ongoing.
Opening with “Reflection”, Max sets the tone with smooth, lush deep house built around warm
Rhodes chords and a rich, rolling groove. Longtime friend and collaborator KingCrowney adds
soaring trumpet lines, elevating the track into a heartfelt conversation between keys and
brass… timeless, musical and deeply soulful. As the title suggests, it mirrors a period of
introspection, setting the emotional foundation for what follows.
“Maya” shifts gears into deeper, jacking territory, driven by a punchy, garage-inflected bump. A
tribute to Max’s daughter, the track balances dancefloor toughness with unmistakable warmth,
weaving swung drums and hypnotic bass into a celebration of love, responsibility and legacy. It
captures a transformative chapter where fatherhood became both grounding force and
motivation.
On “Alone”, Max ventures into broken beat territory, showcasing his versatility as a producer.
Clever but mournful vocal sampling floats over infectious chords, intricate rhythms and detailed
percussion, creating a moment of vulnerability and introspection. Rooted in West London’s bruk
legacy yet firmly future-facing, the track represents a time of isolation and internal struggle…
one of the EP’s most exposed emotional landscapes.
The title track “Healing” featuring Liv East marks the inevitable reunion following 2025’s
breakout anthem “Intentions,” still amassing millions of streams and being crowned Record of
the Year by many DJs, music lovers and press alike, including the iconic title Blues & Soul Mag.
The pair’s chemistry remains undeniable. “Healing” channels that same magic, pairing Liv’s
unmistakable vocal depth with Max’s signature soulful production. As the EP’s closing chapter, it
doesn’t offer a neat conclusion, but rather acceptance, a reminder that healing is not a
destination, but a continual process of growth.
With over 25 years behind the decks, roots on East London’s pirate radio circuit, and accolades
including DJ Mag’s Best Emerging Artist and Blues & Soul’s #1 ‘Artist of Note’ for 2025, Max
Sinàl continues to define the modern soulful house sound. With ‘Healing EP’, he goes one step
further… turning the dancefloor into a space not just for movement, but for reflection, honesty
and emotional release.

SCHWARM (Martinou Remix)
Martinou reshapes SCHWARM into fluid sound currents and a glowing, hypnotic arpeggio. Intimate yet euphoric, it's a slow-burning dream. He and Harald Björk first connected through Myspace in 2008. Martinou has since released on Nous'klaer and Mule Musiq, among others.
SCHWARM (Sniper Mode Remix)
Gregor Tresher revives Sniper Mode with sharp 808 electro - minimal, deep, precise. After meeting Björk via Cocoon, the link continued through Break New Soil.
