New House Vinyl in this week, 23/11/2013

A delivery of this week’s best house music has arrived and available to add to your collection, at Catapult. Some great new releases from Detroit Swindle, Ob Ignitt, Doc Daneeka, Theo Parrish and Anthony Naples. 

Every record label, Every vinyl record, Every tune! 

Catapult is THE record store for new vinyl.

Here are a few releases we’re really excited about: 

Nicholas - Music Lives

Home Taping favourite Nicholas returns with another heavy-duty vinyl release for the label. Warehouse style cuts dripping in atmosphere and dance floor edge are what this EP is all about. Sweaty, tracky, looped up, raw, and of course perfect for the dancefloor. It’s 100% house music. So play them all night long.

Recloose - It’s too late

Title track It’s Too Late picks up where Don’t Get Me Wrong left off, melding a electronic freestyle jam which hints at a jazzed up version of UK bass with bouncing 808 kicks pinning down the bottom end and his Detroit influences squeezing their way into the fusion too. You Just Love You heavies up the vibe with a stomping slice of expertly crafted filter disco. A tried and tested formula of course, but in the hands of a master like Recloose, the result is a fresh, floor-filling anthem chock full of peaktime energy. Flipping over Matt treats us to some vintage Recloose-style business in the form of Backtrack. Bouncing beats, deep chords and vocal hits reminds us of the unique and brilliant music from his classic LP Cardiology.

The XX - Hivern Remixes

HVNXX is one of the most special projects we’ve taken part in as a label. Some months ago The XX and Young Turks asked our artists to remix tracks from ‘Coexist’. It was a big honour and also a big responsi- bility, specially considering that The XX is one of our favourite bands. The outcome of such challenge is a four-track EP that showcases the sound of both well-established members of the Hivern family, such as Marc Pinol and New Jackson, and upcoming talents such as Round and Mistakes Are Ok.

Remember all of this releases and more are available in store at Catapult or through our online record store.

Whats new on in Ableton Live 9.1? 

Dual monitor support

The recent update to version 9.1 makes it possible to open two Live windows simultaneously – on one or two monitors. This means you can now have Arrangement and Session Views open side by side, or use one monitor for tweaking effects parameters and another monitor for editing a MIDI clip.

Melodic step sequencer for Push

Live 9.1 introduces a new melodic step sequencer for use with Push. Play notes or enter them manually, then edit each note in the sequence precisely – all via the hands-on interface of Push. Plus, you can now edit automation with step-by-step accuracy – perfect for opening up a filter on single notes, or adding a splash of reverb to the last notes of a sequence.

Improved audio rendering

Live 9.1 includes a new rendering algorithm. If you're working at a high sample rate (such as 96 kHz), you can now export to lower sample rates (such as 44.1 kHz) with no loss in quality. Also, Live’s rendering now uses multiple cores, which can result in much faster exports.

This offer is only on until January 16th, 2014, so get yours before it's too late. 

* Available instore and online at www.catapult.co.uk

Jon Convex - Losing Time - TX

Former Instramentalist Damon Kirkham expands his Jon Convex enterprise with his debut on Civil Music featuring two new original tracks alongside remixes from Civil Music signee Ore and frequent Convex collaborator, Exit Records main man & DnB legend dBridge. In parallel with his former production partner Alex Green aka Boddika, Kirkham has successfully transposed his D n B palette into a slower template, finding his solo sound as Jon Convex somewhere between the stripped-down, electro-flavoured rhythms that powered the final Instramental album, Resolution 653 and muscular warehouse flavoured techno.

S.C.A.M. - Put Up Your Hands

That unmistakable Jungle Cakes sound you know and love is all over this one. Classic vocals, pulsing basslines with huge beats and amen breaks set the groove throughout and gel together into a cohesive roller thats sure to cause damage on the dancefloor.

Zed Bias - Boss

The LP is Bias aka Dave Joness fourth in total following releases under aliases including Maddslinky and Phuturistix, and his first for the label. Boss also marks Swamp81s second ever album release following Kryptic Minds One of Us.

VIVEK - SYSTEM003

The lush atmospherics of opener Mantra suspend the listener in deep stasis, as slowly moving textures, strings and low end propel the track. As a producer V.I.V.E.K has seen his music released on esteemed labels such as Deep Medi, Tectonic, Greensleeves Records and Soul Jazz.
