Daniel Helmer and Ben Manzone started making tracks as Sycorax back in early 2011. Since then they've self-released 2 in demand 12”s. In the spring of 2012 they debuted their live all hardware set at The Bunker in Brooklyn. Their second 12" titled “Orfamay Quest" was a top seller of 2012 at Halcyon Records. Mike Simonetti has known Ben from Sycorax for over 15 years, and is probably more proud of this release than any other to date. True underground sounds.

Son Of Sound is the current project of Henry Maldonado, a NYC house music legend. You may know him from his tenure in House 2 House in the early 90s, who released their records on Strictly Rhythm. Or, you may know him from Rhythm Section- another of his early 90's projects exploring loop driven deep house. We are proud to release his latest project- Son Of Sound. You can definitely hear hints and influences of his old work in these songs, but Maldonado adds layers of modern style and production values to keep it sounding fresh and not "retro" or played out. Its soulful and dancefloor driven, just how we like it.

Chris Burns steps out on his own with NJ Records’ third release. He is also one half of M+C along with label honcho Mike Simonetti. Chris has worked with Mike on various projects, including mixing duties on Simonetti's Capricorn Rising lp. This emotional two-track 12” showcases Burns’ varied influences and strong songwriting abilities. I.Y.E., co-written and sung by Denise Henderson, is a peak-hour track that draws upon Burns’ passion for powerful, NY-inspired vocal house. Burns has created a tough, grooving backdrop that highlights Henderson’s incredible ability to juxtapose subdued and expressive vocal deliveries. The result is a triumphant and crowd-pleasing chorus that incites strong, visible reactions on an increasingly discerning dancefloor. “E-Mo Systems” takes a more melancholic approach and is inspired by Fall foliage experienced in D.C.’s leafy Rock Creek Park. Swollen bass textures and ambient melodies are punctuated by a minor key chord progression that resolves into a sublime climax. This new age inspired instrumental is perfect for lights-on, end of the night moments of magic.
