Since contributing to the CockTail d?Amore 5 years Compilation, Andrew Cole aka Luv*Jam has been invited few times to rock the monthly party with his deeply blissful and futuristic sounds. This is his first 12? for the Berlin imprint. The title track takes over the A side. Nip To Space is an abstract hypnotic slice of techno. Every frequency of the 4/4 groove is stretched to the max, and it?s built to enhance the dance floor with masterful soundscaping. On the flip Forest of Nip is a raw tune, made by unexpected elements disappearing and re-appearing vibrantly, climaxing in a maze of fluffy acid synths. With Flip To The Flop the alchemist of sound design explores breakbeat of the finest UK tradition that evolves unexpectedly in a cosmically distorted afterhours delight. LUV*JAM?s psychedelic perspective of sound is at its best in this EP, coupled with his unique mastery of frequency manipulation.

WPH kicks off 2015 with a new E.P. by the mighty Luv Jam from Wales. Living in a universe that is entirely his own Andrew Cole has cooked up two more of his ‘especially for WPH’-tracks. One here at WPH HQ can only be flattered! ‘Californian Freestyler’ is the more peak time burner of the two, but ‘BMX Bandito’ will not disappoint the more discerning punters out there either. On remix duty we find the main artist from our friends at Uncanny Valley in Dresden, Jacob Korn. Any work by Jacob is always a treat and this here is no exception. Flexing our digging talents we have also licensed a Luv Jam remix from the good people at Panta Rhei that was only released on limited 7”. We feel it deserved to be on a 12”, so there.

Luv Jam returns to Phonica White with a stunning new 12" and this time Prosumer lends his remix skills with his awesome reinterpretation of title track 'Quip22'. Luv Jam - the prolific Andrew Cole - has had a string of strong releases over the past few years for the likes of Throne Of Blood, We Play House, Tsuba, Blind Jacks Journey, Crow Castle, Rawax, Housewax and of course Phonica White. That 12" for Phonica - the squelchy acid deepness of 'Mature Oak' back with Cottam's remix - proved to be one of the most popular in the Phonica White series so we're delighted to announce his return. This time, the entire A-Side is taken up by Prosumer's captivating remix of 'Quip22', seven minutes of house mastery that builds slowly then bursts into life under a flurry of synth stabs. The originals grace the flip, kicking off with the melancholic 'Quip22'. It's a gradually building swirl of piano, percussive hits and dreamlike synthetic strings. The slow-mo robotic chugger 'Synth68' completes the 12" in fine early 90s digital style with plenty of snare roll. Limited vinyl pressing – hand stamped. Special artwork by Pedro Carvalho de Almeida.

Luv Jam - better known as Andy Cole - made his name through outings on We Play House and Lany Recordings, and 'Mature Oak' finds him in fine form; an epic, atmospheric track poised on a bed of analog synths and warm pads, driven by galloping drum mechanics that gradually give way to its climax, an irresistibly squelchy acid bassline that marks it as one of Cole's most memorable productions to date. On the flipside we get treated to Cottam’s first ever remix. Cottam has made an impeccable name for himself, with his signature colourful series of untitled 12’s and a contribution to the Story imprint. True to his roots, Cottam’s re-rub of “Mature Oak” is a slo-mo, motorik chugger that makes excellent use of the original’s acid line while taking the whole track a step further. It’s a proper heads down affair that begs for a soundsystem loud enough to do it justice. Limited vinyl pressing of 444 copies – hand stamped and numbered. Special artwork by Pedro Carvalho de Almeida.

Following an extended break Tsuba returns, looking back to move forward with an official reissue of 'Dreamworld' by Westworld originally released in 1990.
The charms of this record endure 27 years later with a twinkling melody, starry eyed piano line and emotive bassline. The one and only Gerd Janson adds subtle touches to 'Dreamworld' and the old school flavoured 'The Slam' along with a DJ tool of Dub Siren Beats

We present the final part of the our 10th anniversary trilogy. For the A side one of the most iconic tracks from the Tsuba catalogue gets a very special remix from Dungeon Meat. The DM duo of Brawther and Tristan Da Cunha retain the hooks from the original adding a break heavy groove and their own unique touches resulting in a remix that successfully straddles genres and will appeal to a variety of tastemaking DJs. For the B1 Midnight Special, the project comprising Tsuba boss Kevin Griffiths and Justin Drake, deliver Nude Runner which nods ahead towards Disco with a rolling bassline and sampled strings. The closing track on the EP and our 10 year celebrations comes from M.ono and Luvless with the proto nu house of Fettluke. The three samplers are vinyl only releases.....

We present the second of three 12"s to celebrate our 10th anniversary. Deep House legend Jimpster re-edits Galcher Lustwerk's Nu Day, adding his own mesmerising live keys and steering the original into classic deep house territory. Williams Pinball was the first ever Tsuba release back in 2006 and 10 years later Fort Romeau gives us a special remix that stays true to the Italo origins of the original but updates the track for 2016. On the B1 we add a new name to the Tsuba roster with a track from Japan's Roy Comanchero. When it comes to musical output, Roy's approach is very much quality over quantity and his only release to date is for Running Back. Hypba has all the hallmarks of a Tsuba classic centering around a hypnotic bassline and some rich analogue synth hooks, expertly arranged for maximum musical pleasure. Last but my no means least the Tsuba Boss returns with a new track Satori, blending rolling conga percussion with a cosmic bassline and atmospheric fx. Look out for part three dropping in May featuring a killer Dungeon Meat remix of Peace Division's classic Eh Oh Um and two new tracks from Midnight Special (Tsuba Boss Kevin Griffiths and ex-Peace Division man Justin Drake) and M.ono & Luvless.

We present the first of three 12's to celebrate our 10th anniversary. For the A side Detroit Swindle radically rework Sometimes into Not Another Sometimes, a killer raw analogue jam that demonstrates a real development of the DS sound. For the B1 we're buzzing to finally release an original track from Matthew Styles, who's been on remix duties 3 times over the years, with the infectious house of Off The Grid. Last and by no means least The Carter Bros give us Tempting Disco Fate, a rolling disco loop with the mother of all bassline changes at the end of the track. Look out for part two dropping in April featuring a Jimpster edit of Galcher Lustwerk, Fort Romeau remixing the first ever Tsuba release from Williams and a Tsuba debut from Roy Comanchero.

Originally released in 2008 'The Lab' is one of the definitive Tsuba releases from the now disbanded Peace Division. The undeniable Peace Division groove which made PD one of the most respected duos in house music is in full force throughout this EP. The beat-perfect arrangements that Drake and Henry were known for are here too but there's an increased warmth throughout with the use of sparse chords, subtly used samples and gentle layering of sounds. From the heavy John Ciafone-esque vibes of Theory and "We Want You" to the smooth liquidity of Get Over it via the futurist updates of the traditional house template of Basik of In My Mind this EP is Peace Division at their very best. **Repress**

Originally released in 2009, this was the final 12" from the now disbanded Peace Division (aka Justin Drake and Clive Henry). Its fair to say that Peace Division were the pivotal UK act when it came to groove lead underground house music, selling over 10,000 copies of their 'Junkyard Funk' debut album alone. As a parting shot 'Eh Oh Um' is almost the definitive Peace Division track, centering around the mother of all rolling grooves topped off with a subtle but very hooky vocal lick. An essential 12" for your collection!

We are excited to welcome Sebo K to Tsuba for his first post-Mobilee release with the Aquamarine EP. Lead cut 'Reach Out' is trademark Sebo centering around a nagging bassline and vocal hook that joins the dots between Chicago House and modern Tech house. Aquamarine shows a deeper side to Sebo's production and for the remix we've enlisted one of the true greats, Mr Fingers aka Larry Heard. The result is a stunner, with live keys and a bassline that could only come from one of the pioneers of House Music

Following the Ewan Pearson RSD mixes we present further high quality remixes of Craig Bratley's debut album from Velvet Season & The Hearts Of Gold and Midnight Special. Velvet Season & The Hearts Of Gold remix 'Computer Controlled', one of the stand out tracks from the album. The Velvet Season duo of Joel Martin and Gerry Mooney have some serious musical pedigree between them, with Joel also recording as Quiet Village alongside Radioslave and Gerry previously working with DJ Harvey on his infamous Black Cock releases. Their three 12" releases to date on their own Lucky Hole label all sold out instantly resulting in the inevitable Discogs frenzy. The remix of 'Computer Controlled' is a timeless piece of melancholic house with a Chi Town bassline topped off with Trumpet, Keys and the mesmerising melody from the original. An undoubted future classic! On the flip the Midnight Special rework 'Beat On The Drum'. Midnight Special have released two Vinyl Only 12" to date and are made up of Ex-Peace Division man Justin Drake and Tsuba boss Kevin Griffiths. The resulting mix is groove heavy underground house made with the panache & depth you would expect from the veterans of the UK house scene.

Fans of Deep House will need little introduction to Fred Everything and Shur-I-Kan, two producers synonomous with the true roots of the genre. As you would expect the resulting collaboration is forward thinking Deep House with depth and musicality in abundance. Lead track Common Ground is all about the lead line, a delicate arppegiated melody paired with a Chicago-esq bassline. There's also Dub working the bassline to full effect. EP closer So Leena neatly walks the line beween Deep House and Melodic Techno.
