Michele Manzo - Nebula’s Grace
2022 Repress!
Michele Manzo - musician and producer who boasts international collaborations with Omar Lye-Fook,
Georgia Anne Muldrow and Declaime - is the man behind the second release of Angis Music. The EP
presents 3 different scenarios resulting from a spontaneous live session, which reflects the multiple
influences and symphonic approach of an artist with various styles. This work, inspired by the science
fiction novels of William Gibson - godfather of the cyberpunk genre - opens with the song “Burning
Chrome”, conceived as a nighttime escape taking you at lightening speed through the alleys of a city
that is galaxies away. Continuing on to the B side we have “Chiba City Park”, where the broken beat and
abstract harmonies create an ambience similar to that of those in Neuromancer. Finally, “Nebula’s
Grace” is a cosmic jam where time slowly floats away in dub echoes and disappears into the depth of
space..
TRACKLISTS:
A. Burning Chrome
B1. Chiba City Park
B2. Nebula’s Grace
Feedback:
Kaoru Inoue (Seeds and Ground / Chari Chari): Great 3 tracks of the electronic jams, I love it! Especially
"Burning Chrome", the quality deep house that I'd love to play on my set.
Funkineven (Apron Records): B1 is right up my street – B2 nice too!
Tama Sumo (Berghain / Panorama Bar): Thanks a lot for sending this, sounds beautiful.
Gary Gritness (Hypercolour): Excellent release! Super tones, musicality and mastering as well. Please
send Michele my regards for this awesome record, from a fellow William Gibson fanatic!
Patrick Gibin (Blend It! / Eglo Records): Cool EP! Nebula's Grace is my favourite.
XDB (Sistrum Recordings): Melodic storytelling detroity sounds. Especially the second tune is really
dope, well done!
Norm Talley (FXHE Records): Cool vibes man!
Volcov (Neroli): Solid EP, I really like the downtempo track.
Gerardo Frisina (Schema Records): Another great Angis Music release with 3 beautiful tracks. Just a
slight preference for "Chiba City Park".
Alex Attias (Visions Inc): Thank you. This is a dope release, I will play for sure.
Giorgio Luceri (Mathematics): Congratulations, I really like the construction and the sound quality of this
release. Personally, my favorite track is the B2.
Turbojazz (Local Talk): This is butter, great release!
Todd Modes (FIT Sound): That shit bangs! Thanks for thinking of me. Really digging the first track. It’s
all real good.
Lakuti (Uzuri): Lovely EP, congrats!
Patrick Luca (Saft Muzik): Nice release, Lovin' B Side both tracks – A side dope too – Congrats and
keep the good work.
Francesco Farfa: This is a really nice project. The first track is very close to the american deep house
productions of the early 2000s. The second, which I like the most, is very bizarre and excellent for
smooth selections. Third one too. Thanks for sending it to me.

Kyle Hall - Ghosted 4 A Second X
2024 Repress! Coloured Vinyl!
Wild Oats proudly present the new EP from Kyle Hall entitled “Equanimity”. This release marks the 10 year anniversary of Wild Oats and its only fitting that we celebrate with a release from the label boss himself on tonight's full moon. Along with the engineering treatment from “Chicago's very own" (C.V.O.) deep house legend, Glenn Underground, "Equanimity" takes on a new foundational sound and assembly that inspires some philosophical thoughts below:
Katastematic Pleasure is the epicurean philosophical concept that the magnitude of pleasure reaches its limit at the removal of all pain. In a sonic sense, this connects to the idea of subtractive equalization or the removal of unpleasant frequencies i.e. taking away the part of the sound you don’t enjoy as much, in turn, leaving the pleasurable parts of the sound intact. Katestematic pleasure is about creating cleanliness and clarity in your life so that your experience is pleasurable by simply the virtue of being.
Solar/Lunar Duality: The Vinyl EP is divided into two planetary bodies. Side A — The “Solar Side” and Side B — “The Lunar” Side. The Sun's energy is one that is everlasting as long as its shining all that receives its rays will continue its growth and abundance. The Moon represents the nature of receptivity the feminine principle which captures the light energy of the sun and reflects it back and governs our physical natural cycles and tides of the waters both internally and externally. The cycles of the moon when we decide to to be attentive to its influence we start to know when to retreat when to rest , when to repair our selves and intuitively when to bloom express our vivaciousness and attract things to ourselves.

qd - Amethyst
Wild Oats is happy to present this debut release entitled “Pure Amethyst” from Caron Miller aka Q’uran D’Mar aka Q’D’ who is another gifted young brother from Detroit. Our hope is this record adds some thoughtfulness, love and intentionality to your inner world at the beginning of this Lunar new year.
February’s birthstone is the Amethyst so we found it very synchronistic that this debut is released in February.
The Amethyst crystal guards against psychic attack and transmutes that energy into love. From The Crystal Bible by Judy Hall, she also states this valuable piece, “This stone facilitates the decision-making process,bringing in common sense and spiritual insights,and putting decisions and insights into practice. Mentally it calms and synthesizes, and aids the transmission of neural signals through the brain.”
Pure Amethyst Sonically personifies this internal shadow dance that one must participate in in order to get to a grounded and positively intentioned state of being. Questioning ones motives, accepting and releasing the blame of past traumatic experiences as the reasons for deficiencies inspires you to find a new way forward from where you are. Ultimately realizing it is you today who is going to inspire the goodness in your life. As the great Arthur Ashe states, "To achieve greatness, start where you are, use what you have, do what you can."

Wild Oats is proud to present Speed Of Life, a new record from London based producer K15.

We encourage you take time to do some inner exploration to understand what the best use of your energy is in order to have the most harmonious experience you can have in your life. Having a good balanced life starts with the physical and mental state you are in. What we consume on all levels whether orally, visually, sonically or tactilely influences how we think, feel, and react to our environment. This record is the perfect re-calibration tool using vibration to get your mind, body, and soul back into a balanced state. All the while, having a wonderful listening experience that will warm your heart, put a smile on your face, and make you dance.

Wild Oats proudly presents the triple LP entitled From Joy by Kyle Hall. The title is derived from the idea of finding a way to live life in a state of presence; detaching oneself from the mental, self imposed narratives echoed by society's traditions and judgements. We as people tend to be at our most honest and present in our childhood, so in some ways From Joy serves as a mechanism and reminder to return to one's youthful energetic state. The 8- track album, all produced before 2010, is a homage to where Kyle lived at the time in his father's basement on the westside of Detroit on Joy Rd.

Whether it’s making hypnotic head-nod heaters, or pulsating dance floor grooves, K15’s music always radiates soul and promise. He has been in the music scene in London for a while, but is a bit of an unsung hero in our eyes. His skill of mixing genres is unmatched. Pulling from different influences regardless of genre or era is what gives his music its distinct style. "Insecurities" is K15's debut on Wild Oats; a 5-track EP with sampled dancefloor classics, re-works, and original music.

Wild Oats is proud to present the KMFH debut album The Boat Party. After a year of collaborative releases, Kyle Hall, under the alias KMFH, has produced a debut album; a fusion of original work, sample tracks, and raw edits. The Boat Party album artwork pokes fun at European summer boat parties and juxtaposes the destitute state of Detroit and its recent proneness to discarded luxury in financial crises. Mainly, the inability to leave and the sometimes pleasant isolation of a boat party is what the album exudes. The listener has a certain commitment to the material which definitely has its place on the dance floor. You can find tracks that have soulful, funky, and organic feels, while others have a more abstract, mechanical, and robotic sentiments. The Boat Party was carefully constructed which makes the album a cohesive mix of soulful etherealness and roughly raw sounds; KMFH's cueing into the true aspects of Detroit

The Inspiration for this EP came from a trip the two producers took to Zug Island- a polluted toxic metal factory Isle on the Detroit river between Detroit and Windsor, Canada. The sounds within this record are intended to sonically personify the environment of Zug Island and the harmful impact it currently has on the river, wild life,and humans residing there!

Vick Lavender - There It Is (Feat. DMillz)
Daybreakers welcome back Chicago’s Vick Lavender for Essential Traxx Vol. 3, continuing a run of records that tap straight into the deeper end of his sound. A producer, musician and DJ with decades behind him, Vick has always moved in that space where house, jazz and soul naturally meet. It’s music with patience, feeling, and that unmistakable Chicago touch.
On the A side, Atmosphere brings things firmly onto the dancefloor. Rolling drums, deep bass and a groove that locks in and moves with purpose. Proper club-ready deep house that does exactly what it needs to do.
Flip it for There It Is featuring DMillz, and the journey goes deeper. Lush chords, soulful touches and that signature Vick Lavender flow unfolding over time. One for the heads who like to let the record tell a story.

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.

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.

D Wynn & The R-Tyme Production - B1. Use Me (U Turn Remix) (5:40)
3
D Wynn & The R-Tyme Production - B2. Funk N The Drums (6:34)
Moods & Grooves Records proudly announces Turn-A-Round, the long-awaited return of
D. Wynn & The R-Tyme Production. Marking his first release since 2002 on KMS
Records, D. Wynn reconnects with the deeply soulful Detroit sound that defined his
earlier work—timeless, emotive, and built for the dancefloor.
At the center of the release is “Love Ain’t Easy”, a heartfelt, soul-driven track featuring
vocals from Record Time favorite Lavell Williams. The song carries special significance
as Williams’ final known musical recording prior to his passing in 2018, giving the record
both emotional weight and historical importance. The EP also includes “Use Me (U Turn
Remix)”, a fresh take on R-Tyme’s most recognized work—previously reimagined by Carl
Craig—alongside “Funk N The Drums,” a raw, percussion-heavy cut driven by deep funk
and rhythmic intensity.
A foundational figure in Detroit’s electronic music movement, D. Wynn was instrumental
in shaping the culture as part of the legendary Music Institute era, alongside pioneers
such as Derrick May, Alton Miller, and Chez Damier. As one half of R-Tyme with Derrick
May, he helped deliver seminal recordings including “Use Me” and “Illusion/R-Theme” on
Transmat, leaving a lasting imprint on the global electronic music landscape.
This is more than a comeback. It’s a continuation of a legacy.

Joaquin Joe Claussell - Storm (Kuniyuki New Wave Project Remix)
released in celebration of y-3’s 10th anniversary in 2013, this compilation included joe claussell’s masterpiece of psychedelic deep house, which is finally being issued on 12-inch vinyl.
joe claussell’s “storm,” still played today by djs such as dixon, remains one of his most distinctive works. among his productions, it can be regarded as his finest achievement—his most trippy and psychedelic track, with exceptional impact on the dance floor.
the newwave project remix by his longtime ally kuniyuki preserves the atmosphere of the original while adding organic sounds such as marimba, drawing the track into deeper territory and resulting in a spiritual deep house reinterpretation.
the artwork was created by yoshirotten, one of japan’s leading artists.

Zeta Reticula - Yellow Dwarfs
Uroš Umek returns to eudemonia for the label's 21st outing, delivering another set of high-quality electronics as Zeta Reticula.
The EP carries a vibrant, optimistic energy throughout. "The Human Scientific Vessel" leads the way as a club-ready electro cut with a driving rhythm and clean, melodic synth lines. The energy stays high as the EP moves into the broken rhythms of "Black Liquid Spawned Wildlife" and "Yellow Dwarfs," where Umek explores more complex, atmospheric territory without losing the dancefloor focus.
The EP balances dancefloor energy with musical songwriting, making for an engaging listen from start to finish.

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.

Mike Parker - Dissolution 99
Twenty-three years on from its original release, the debut album of American artist Mike Parker stands proud as a blueprint for deep, hypnotic techno in the new millennium. Originally published as a CD-only edition on Parker’s own Geophone label, Field Records are now giving Dispatches the full vinyl release it so richly deserves - spread across six sides and reproducing Parker’s distinctive artwork at scale.
Charting the course of Parker’s career reads like the evolution of deep techno itself - moving from early collaborations with Donato Dozzy to appearances on seminal labels such as Prologue, Semantica and Spazio Disponibile. The essence of his approach was forged early on, honing techno’s propulsion into a raw essence without losing any of the weight. It’s an exercise in minimalism, but the sound is still monolithic and engulfing, crystal clear in its intention and devoted to the power of subtle pressure. When the decay on a reverb opens up a fraction, Parker’s music leaves enough space for you to notice. Incremental shifts become monumental in his hands and his commitment to subliminal layering reveals hidden depths the further you submit to his hypnotic sound.
This definitive edition of Dispatches looks at the vinyl singles which accompanied the album’s original release and creates a more complete picture of the area that Parker was exploring at the time. It’s the first time that the alternate take of icy depth charge ‘Copper Variations: CV1’ appears on wax, as goes for the pneumatic tension of ‘Reduction’ and evocative miniature sound sculpture ‘Blue Equals Black’. Expanding the album beyond its original CD form, epic rarity ‘Dissolution 99’ presides over the final side, while the standout Voiceprint release is now represented in full with the inclusion of heavyweight stepped techno workout ‘Voiceprint: Voice Two’.
Able to sustain his own creative vision without cowing to the trends or expectations of any scene or clique, Parker’s music has progressed on its own terms. What this reissue demonstrates is how fully formed his vision was - even at a relatively early stage. In an era where the deep techno scene is thriving, Dispatches feels all the more relevant, undiluted by time and still unmatched in its immersive perfection.

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.
