For his second EP on the imprint Hector delivers ‘Stoned Raiders’ a dark and trippy ride into late night territory – packing plenty of groove and aimed straight at the dancefloor, with an alternative dub version rounding off the A-side. Over on the flip, heroes of the West Coast U.S house scene and frequent names on the famous Siesta Records, Hipp-E and Halo aka H Foundation make their first appearance on the label with their remix. A heavy-duty dance floor monster, effortlessly raw with sharp kicks and industrial horns, there’s no doubt this will do some damage, with it’s sonic madness and trippy FX. Birmingham’s rising star Samu.l is back on the label since his huge hit ‘Innocent’ was released earlier in the year. His remix is deep and smooth yet powerfully driving, subtly building to kick in with dark haunting stabs in the final minutes and creating a whole new twist. Last on remix duty is another familiar name in the One Records camp, Peter JD. He adds his classic touch, taking us on a journey into the atmospheric with ounces of warmth and the wonderfully layered synth patterns.

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.

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.
