A moment's respite during these trying times. LPHWHTE is the third—and, likely, final—installment in our series of to-the-point LPH WHITE compilations. Four tracks bound together by their high-energy ebullience and zealous joy. Jacques Renault's contribution is a full-hearted disco throwback with a smoky mystique; Kristy Harper comes correct with a pummeling acid belter; Laroze gives us a disco-house banger that zips by at a fast-forward, breakneck pace; and Keita Sano delivers a zoinked-out and looped-up rhythm boogie as the closer.

We close the books on 2019 with a dastardly slab of techno shenanigans from DJ Mountain Dad, a new alias of Lobster Theremin’s chief, Jimmy Asquith. Functional, tool-y dance tracks that have been run through a blender and administered electroconvulsive therapy. Freaky-deeky rallying cries for end-time raves and lock-in house parties lit only by busted strobes. More

Finally, a grip of edits from the LPH extended family that have been circulating for years get to see the light of day! Vinyl day! The light of vinyl day! Jacques did one, Laurence Guy did one, Jesse Rudoy did one, Elvin Tibideaux did one, and Private Panther did one. Seriously, that’s all you need to know, so stop asking questions and just disco.

Nother six­tracker for ya. ‘Nother beast. This one comes from Baldo Gallego, a stupid good producer from Spain. The vibes are strong with this one. More

We’re finishing 2015 with what is pretty much a mini LP by Borrowed Identity, an inspired producer based in Freiburg. There’s a lot here and we think you should just listen to and enjoy the record, draw your own conclusions, but what we will say here is the A is ballsy house and the B is tough techno that touches on trance occasionally. Get why it’s called T?he Contrast?? More

LPH’s unpredictable sister label, LPH WHITE, is back with another juicy 12”, one that marks the imprint’s first foray into Japanese clubland. Atsushi Yano, a Kobe­based producer, serves up three—as the title indicates—chewy tunes, all doused with African rhythms and set ablaze with fidgety keys, chopped­up vocals, and groovy bass lines. Filling the release out is Jacques Renault’s no­nonsense, squared­up, lead­footed remix of “Stomping On the Verge.” More

LPH WHITE’s latest is another made­for­the­club sureshot winner from label co­founder and ­owner Jacques Renault himself. If you’ve caught one of his sets around the world sometime this year, you’ve most likely heard the house banger??and consequently gone nuts. It’s impossible to resist the temptations of the bombastic drums, fat bass, chopped up vocals, and dubby synth hooks included within. A shining example of Renault doing what he does best. More

LPH WHITE’s second offering picks up where the first one, by Waze & Odyssey, left us. That 12” featured a remix by London-by-way-of-Southern-California house up-and-comer, Urulu, who produced all four of the tracks included on this EP. Left Coast is an ode to Taylor Freels’ home turf, but don’t think it’s all blissed-out Balearic burners one might listen to while rolling down a palm tree-lined stretch of the Pacific Coast Highway. Every one of the four songs is a cranked-up, high-octane, peak-hour monster.

Let’s Play House’s latest endeavor is a no-nonsense imprint, simply dubbed LPH WHITE, which, as the name implies, takes a cue from those mysterious, classic, unmarked dance records of years past. The debut 12” comes courtesy of London-based duo Waze & Odyssey, who, as is to be expected, deliver a couple of top-notch club bangers (the deadly “Feelin’ You” and deeper “Gonna Make This”) that will immediately shred any dancefloor to pieces. The one remix included in the package is by London-by-way-of-Southern California up-and-comer Urulu. (The second WHITE EP will feature four originals by the guy.) More
