Tracklist EP:
A1. Alex Kassian - Oolong Trance (Club Mix)
A2. Alex Kassian - Oolong Trance (Paradise Mix)
B. Alex Kassian - Oolong Trance (Telephones Remix)

Alex Kassian steps up for his first solo 12" on Love On The Rocks with 'Oolong Trance', a driving, tropical-tinged uplifting acid trip in 'Club' and 'Paradise' mixes and a supercharged 'ADHS' mix from Telephones.

Kassian is no stranger to the label, which celebrated its fifth birthday last year with the 4-part 'Supergau' compi-lation that opened with Kassian's 'Chopstick Romance'. He also remixed Ghost Vision in 2018 on their Love On The Rocks debut, 'Shakuhachi'.

Young Kassian from Kyoto, who has the silkiest hair in house, has recently been enjoying success alongside his longtime collaborator Hiroaki OBA as Opal Sunn, taking their live show on tour around Europe and Asia with stops at Field Maneuvers in the UK and Panorama Bar in Berlin. Their first releases on their own imprint, Planet Sundae, got the attention of the late Andrew Weatherall (RIP) and early support from the likes of DJ Sprinkles and Nick Höppner, who released their last two EP's on his label, Touch From A Distance: 'Parallax' in late 2018, and 'Laika', earlier this year.

As well as being Kassian's debut on the label, 'Oolong Trance' is the first Love On The Rocks record for 2020, so, what's in the tea?

The Club mix is classic Kassian: big kicks, driving percussion, swirling pads, a tropical sunrise, a celestial or-gan and a large dash of acid. The Paradise Mix is what you get when you let it brew a couple seconds longer: off the charts trance levels and Alex delivering some truly ecstatic piano work, channelling the spirit of a young George Michael, truly intoxicated on the Oolong drank.

Telephones also delivers a hell of a brew, with his 9-minute, 90s house and garage inflected 'ADHS' remix tak-ing the keys off in yet another direction and delivering a energetic, Chicago-inspired oddball rework with hints of Detroit and more than a few drops of old school, classic house spiritualism. The tea, as they say, is particularly good today.

Tracklist EP:

A. Longhair - The Forbidden Dance (Original Version)
AA. Longhair - The Forbidden Dance (Rhumba Version)

From the murky depths of Berlin comes a monster, a wicked beast with two heads, a strange penchant for house music and the bizarre. Longhair is the duo made up of Marko aka Homeboy and Bene from Peak & Swift, two well known figures in the Berlin musical community who have begun to amass inter-est and intrigue as a production outfit, appearing on imprints like House Is OK and Bordello A Parigi. There is an unholy amount of musical ammunition ready to be unleashed upon the innocent world and it's bloody great.

There are plenty of influences from all kinds of corners in Longhair, from 80's synth sounds, to Italian dream house beats, but it clearly has its own vibe as they demonstrate on "The Forbidden Dance", their debut single for Paramida's Love On The Rocks label.

A ubiquitous summer hit in the making: a sure-fire combo of unforgettable melody, nostalgia kicks, totally dreamy production and the sound of seagulls. On the flip, we find the Rhumba mix, a mostly beatless counterpart, perfect for DJs that want to get creative.

Longhair's take on house music is emerging as a sound of their own; groovy, very danceable but laid back, marked by a progressive approach and a softer attitude and ultimately an ideal match for Love On The Rocks.

Paramida made her name as an integral part of the new Berlin school of DJs embracing a more expansive sound, a charismatic and eclectic idealism beyond the steady, straight-forward pulse of house and techno. Following five years at the city’s
diverse OYE Records store, and alongside an international schedule of DJing, she has spent the previous five crafting her
Love On The Rocks label in that same generous spirit.
Now, with half a decade passed, she has called upon many of the label’s previous associates, alongside some new faces, to
curate a five-disc compilation produced upon the adventurous and personal principles upon which the label was founded. The
title of the collection is ‘Supergrau’, which Paramida explains to mean, "A disaster beyond all expectations". It’s a typically
pithy title for a label that’s found a unique groove between dancefloor fulfillment and surprising turns, keeping it’s dedicated
buyers and open-minded DJs on their toes, just as Paramida likes it. Still, it hasn’t always been easy.
This compilation represents five years of ups and downs, tears and joy, growing, losing and finding itself again. I've never
really questioned or reflected it much. The label has been pretty much a mirror of my personal life, my taste at a certain point
and the artist or person that was involved in my life at that particular stage of my life. As such, I want to give this first chapter
of Love On The Rocks a nice closure.”
Some artists on the compilation return to the fold, such including Fantastic Man, Massimiliano Pagliara, Violet, Elles, Etbonz,

Tracklist EP:
A. Romie Singh - Cry Freedom


Release Info:
Love On The Rocks returns with its first release for 2019 and its first-ever reissue, “Cry Freedom” by Romie Singh.

It’s hard to love with so much fighting, hard to love with so much war / All they want is gold and silver, all they want is time to love / And freedom to dance.

Thirty years after its initial release, the song feels timeless and its message feels more relevant than ever. 1989 was a year of drastic global shift that brought globe-altering change to Johannesburg, Berlin, Moscow, and Beijing. 2019 marks another stage global shift with the tightening of borders, erosion of civil liberties and human rights, and endless beating of the political drums calling for division and war, Singh’s lyrics express a universal call that echoes around the world, with no regard for borders, race, colour or creed. The cry for freedom. To live. To love. And that most fundamental expression of joy and unity known in every culture and corner of the world...to dance!

“Cry Freedom” is the 19th release on Love On The Rocks. It is issued as a limited edition of 300 hand-stamped and numbered 12” vinyl containing the 10-minute, 22-second ‘long’ version of the track as originally released on the 1989 maxi single. The other side contains an etching based on the original album cover artwork.

Paramida's Love On The Rocks imprint readies its eighteenth release, in this, the year of our lord, 2018 - the latest instalment on the ever-evolving, hard-to-define label is a decidedly non-dancefloor oriented, melancholic/euphoric instrumental number from promising Lon-don/Lisbon producers Elles & Violet.

Elles, fresh from her Netil Radio & Rádio Quântica residences, alongside Violet, with a string of releases under her belt on One Eyed Jacks , Cómeme, Paraíso, Snuff Trax and her own imprint, Naive, deliver big time here with A Life Lived In Fear Is Like A Life Half Lived, a warm and bubbling acid future closing time jam that has all the feels of watching the sun rise over the city with your best friends on ecstasy.

Tracklist EP:

A1. Ghost Vision - Shakuhachi
A2. Ghost Vision - Shakuhachi (Tokyo Black Star Atlantis Remix)
B. Ghost Visoon - Shakuhachi (Al Kassian Remix)

In late 2017, Thomas Gandey and Danny McLewin - known from the popular disco-influenced electronic music collective Psychemagik - emerged from their studio in Bordeaux, France, claiming to have produced an extended musical arrangement, both entitled, and containing the sounds of, the shakuhachi. Furthermore, they insisted, for the purposes of this production, and a further album of related arrangements to be released subsequently in conjunction with the successful German record label Kompakt, they should be referred to henceforth as Ghost Vision. Shortly thereafter, the audio recordings described by Gandey and McLewin came into the possession of noted Los Angeles degenerate, DJ and nymphomaniac [citation needed] Dirty Dave, who was quick to relay the hallucinatory qualities of the duo's productions to fellow DJ and trusted hallucinogenic expert Paramida, of esteemed German musical imprint Love On The Rocks.

Paramida, recognising the innate quality of the sounds presented to her, decided that such recordings warranted immediate release through her audio distribution channel, and not without remixes. Quite without thinking of the origins of the instrument which had given the recording its particular sonic distinguishment, and of course, its title, she enlisted the help of two musicians named Alex - one from Tokyo, and one from Kyoto. Both Alex From Tokyo - teaming up with his colleagues Isao Kumano & Kenichi Takagi as Tokyo Black Star, known for their prior releases on popular German label Innervisions - and his counterpart, Alex from Kyoto, better known as Al Kassian, rising Tamagotchi on Paramida's Love On The Rocks imprint, and his own label, Planet Sundae - turned in striking reinterpretations of Gandey and McLewin's composition. It was reported that upon their arrival and first listen at Love On The Rocks headquarters, wild dancing broke out almost immediately and did not stop for more than 36 hours.

The resulting package of stereo recordings was finally released for public broadcast and manipulation by disc jockeys in early 2018, to much rejoicing, from London to L.A., throughout Europe, Japan and everywhere music is played. It marked the first release for the label in their fourth year of operation, in which, it has been noted, there is much to look forward to.

Tracklist EP:
A1. Bye / A2. High Hopes / B1. Back and Forth
Omer joins the Love On The Rocks family with a massive underground smash, the not-so-well-kept secret rework that’s been doing the rounds recently among a handful of trusted DJs, inducing hands-in-the-air hysteria and clocking up more than a few plays in clubs from Robert Johnson to Panorama Bar. Finally it lands here as the title track of the EP, perfectly tooled for any poolside dance party. Phew!
Finding just enough room for another huge jam to share the same side, Omer moves effortlessly into his trademark late night melancholic trip territory with High Hopes, leading in with snapping percussion before giving way to a fierce bassline, swirling layers of melody and synths that resonate with warmth and emotion.
Rounding out the proceedings, Back and Forth pulses with electric energy from the word go, quickly pulling you into its distinctly neon after-dark atmospherics, with a forboding hook that twists around itself amid spiralling tension, and on into euphoria. You and me to the party, you and me all night. You and me to the party,you and me all night. More

Tracklist EP:

A1. Cloud Chaser / A2. Cloud Chaser (Shan Love Mix) / B1. Juno's Recenge / B2. Juno's Revenge (Igor Tipura Remix)

BUNKR enslave dust-coated synthesizers, dilapidated drum machines and rusty FX boxes to craft 4/4 tunes for their impatient overlords. Their vision is clear - they will make techno, they will make house, they will make electronica, and you will listen and dance.

It's not yet clear if BUNKR is the work of one frenzied human or many lazy individuals but we do know one thing - the ringleader is one James Dean, who previously released as Lost Idol on labels such as Pork Recordings, Nature, Final Frontier and Cookshop. Following a prolonged spell of writing music at slow tempos, Dean initiated BUNKR as a reactionary desire to speed things up. Too much time had been spent just sitting around - it was time to stop sitting and start dancing.

True to their vision, here we have 'Cloud Chaser', a bubbling jam backed with a huge remix from Shan, who flips the mix with dramatic strings, sprinkles of magic dust and massive amen breaks. No less impressive is 'Juno's Revenge', a track you'd turn up on your headphones while taking a nice afternoon stroll on the moon, on a sunny morning after a long interplanetary rave. Igor Tipura delivers the rework, complete with a marching percussion workout and acid chemtrails that will send you right back to 1993.

A1. Head Shop Boys / A2. Haole
Totes Preesh make tracks for your ears. Sean Marquand and Patrick Wood of New York City have created these sounds for you and your friends and tooled them to perfection, for your pleasure. Whether you're at home, or in the club, or driving around in your car, looking for drugs, you can count on these guys to soundtrack your day correctly. They were featured on 2015’s ‘Mangiami - La Compilation’ on Golf Channel Recordings, but this is their first 12”. They are here to make you bump to a cosmic sound that is sexy and pristine, and yet, also feels exactly like two buffalo boys going round the outside, round the outside.
Double A-side alert. First up ‘Head Shop Boys’, a kicky, kinky, neon affair, perfect for late-night debauchery; on the flip, ’Haole’ is a straight up trip with some serious old school New York flavour, and will undoubtedly prove to be the world’s first crossover drive-time club banger. More

A1. Szlugi / A2. Polonez / B. Flauta
Das Komplex, aka Marcin £ukaszewicz aka.. what is this guy’s name? Whoever he is, he is fucking slow. But word on the street is, he is super happy, to be slow, and to make records, and build ships, or whatever it is that he does, when he’s not answering our emails. Rumour has it, that Henry is the man who built the Ostbahnhof - with his own bare hands.
Before that he was making music. For twenty carefree, happy-go-lucky years. Recently, he started releasing some of it, much to his surprise, on nice, family-themed labels such as Young Adults and Father & Son. This is his first offering for Love On The Rocks. It’s sublime, it’s soft, and it wants you to fall in love, at night, back in the days, under the electric light of your favourite dancefloor, with two major jams on the A-side, and a consciousness-altering, life-changing, dance floor destroying, 13-minute disco trip on the other. Music to microdose to. More

A. My Kinda Future
B. My Kinda Future (Prins Thomas Diskomiks) Elliott Thomas, AKA Etbonz, Portland's prodigal son, touches down for the first time on LoveOn The Rocks with 'My Kinda Future'. Etbonz, the lovechild of Buckaroo Banzai and TheTalented Ellen Ripley, utilises the latest KrystalVision™ technology over this eleven and a half minute opus to bring you to the edge of a future where maybe, just maybe, Arnold didn't kill the Predator.. Where some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favourite head up against the barroom wall, looks you crooked in the eye and asks you if you paid your dues. Where you can’t even get to the chopper, because Kurt Russell is in the cockpit with a head full of acid, wearing a hat made of drum machines. Should we check it out? Or just check into a psycho ward? Whichever comes first, huh?
It's a kinda future that leaves you asking yourself, if I am not me, then who the hell am I? Am I Prins Thomas? What is a Diskomiks? You ever fuck a mutant? Tall guy, weird clothes. First you see him, then you don't.
The best mindfuck ever! More

A. TM (DJ Steve edit)
B. Gadaafs (DJ Steve edit)
Occasionally, a record — or sometimes even a DJ — simply falls out of the sky, like so many unexplained showers of fish, or midnight deliveries of frozen piss from passing jumbo jets. And so it was when DJ Steve first came to our attention in 2011 via Tim Sweeney, who discovered him quite by chance DJing in the Italian seaside town of Tropea. Sweeney, on vacation in the area, was so impressed with Steve he passed him his card, telling him to call him if he ever made it to New York. Some time later, DJ Steve did make it to New York, called Sweeney and turned up at the Beats In Space studio, barely speaking any English but with a pile of “DJ Steve special cuts”, white labels and acetates, and laid down an extended mix - “Italian
style!”. Then, nobody ever really heard from him again. Fast forward to Berlin 2013, and the mix had become a staple at the after hours of a small group of friends, including Paramida, who would soon start Love On The Rocks. They called it “the DJ Steve experience”. Paramida counts it as one of her main musical inspirations, saying it showed her another perspective of groove, and turned her perception of dance music “upside down”. And still, nobody seemed to know who he was. speaking any English but with a pile of “DJ Steve special cuts”, white labels and acetates, and laid down an extended mix - “Italian style!”. Then, nobody ever really heard from him again. Until one day in early 2016, after years of exhausting all her contacts in an effort to track him down, after all the blood, sweat and tears, and countless hours spent interrogating various dance music insiders, Paramida finally received a message.
“Minkia, stu pezzu nci spunda u culu e passari!” Whatever that meant, it was instantly clear that her search had come to a conclusion. Despite the near-indecipherable dialect, and other obvious communication problems, Paramida somehow persuaded him to sign two of his “special cuts” for Love On The Rocks, which would soon become the record you now hold in your hands.
As DJ Steve had put it so well: “Dick! This thing could pierce the anus of a sparrow!”. Amen. More

A. PONY J.A.M. - B. PONY ROGER
Detroit enigma Sharif Laffrey makes a return to Paramida's Berlin-based Love On The Rocks imprint with ‘Pony EP’. The two track EP marks his second release with the label (following ‘Key Jam (A.C.I.D.)’) and his third release in three years - something of a roll for Laffrey who typically allows years to pass between each outing.

A-Side: ‘PONY J.A.M.’
Over 9 minutes of what sounds like nineties 4/4 Indian acid-house bass music - in the best way. Surprising vocals & a healthy 3 minute lead in.
B-Side: ‘PONY ROGER’
If the pony you were riding on the A-Side was galloping through a grassy meadow - this pony heads into a dark cave. If the A-side is The Never Ending Story then the B-side is The Dark
Crystal. But with Prince instead of Bowie. Sharif Laffrey has been playing records and making music for 20 long hard years. Born in Detroit, Michigan - he’s worked on the line checking camshafts for Chryslers & at Submerge for Mike Banks - at the same time. He toured Asia with Juan Atkins and once had to chase a grown man through the streets at night, who had crawled into his living room through an open window.
An active member in Detroit’s early rave scene, Sharif remembers booking all foreign gigs with something he calls a fax machine. More

Tracklist: A. Snake Language, B1. Calo, B2. Yama

For the 7th release on Love On The Rocks, we welcome the Mexican duo Zombies in Miami for a three track EP titled “Snake Language”. The title track is a raw an haunting drum heavy number. On the flip comes “Calo” with its twisting riffs that wind and turn alongside percussive interludes. “Yamo” changes the pace but is no less impressive with climactic flutes and a driving bass line. El Fuego completes the release as a digital exclusive. With this EP, the Zombies in Miami are literally on fire! More
