Rich in melody and instantly classic in feel, Luca dell’Orso debuts on CWPT with a mini-album of lush Italo, sensitively summoned from the Netherlands.

‘Actors’ establishes a confident groove that gently pushes an Alfa Romeo pedal toward Balearic ecstasy. On the instantaneous lead single ‘Dear Rosie,’ dell’Orso blends the signature palette of the vintage Yamaha DX7 synthesizer with longing vocals from collaborator Jolisa. A paean to a special person from a distant past, ‘Dear Rosie’ is blessed with a wistful melody befitting a classic Eric Rohmer film, a musical postcard of a treasured connection. From wistful midsummer memories, dell’Orso easily transports listeners to another season entirely with ‘Winter Scent’, a deep meditation reflecting the artist’s walks in the few hours of available sunlight, thoughts beautifully vocoded beneath a heavy sonic layer.

Out of this lavish gloom blossoms the inevitable sound of spring on the driving, optimistic ‘Love by Association’; an enduring recipe of distinct drums and pitch-shifting synthesis, frozen in time for frenetic Eurodisco dancefloors. On ‘Propaganda’, dell’Orso offers a more forceful take on the same instincts, skipping inner-Schengen borders to simmer via industrially-tinted pleasures as revealed in Dusseldorf, 1984.

Luca dell'Orso - 'Dear Rosie' is released on 23rd of January to be followed by 'Winter Scent' on the 6th of February.

The complete six track mini-album 'Actors' is released via CWPT on 14th of February with additional tracks, 'Solitair & Solidair' and ‘This Time (Things Will Be Different)’.

That sweet release is fast approaching, but there's still time for one more amuse-bouche before the Decius Vol.II feasting begins. 'Queen Of 14th St.' is an ode to New York nightlife, from when the members of Decius would DJ in the old meatpacking district. There's a taste of classic disco to this particular dish.

It's accompanied by a video which features dry ice and a leather catsuit as many of the best videos do.

It's the meeting of two legends of Manchester clubbing – pioneering DJ and re-edit king Greg Wilson brings his skill as master arranger to Happy Mondays' iconic track 'Loose Fit'. Wilson and Ché Wilson tame the anarchic energy of the Madchester era for the dancefloor, further tightening up one of the Mondays’ greatest grooves.

Fat White Family share a stunning Tim Goldsworthy (LCD Soundsystem / UNKLE) remix of ‘Visions Of Pain’, a track taken from their most recent album Forgiveness Is Yours, which came out on Domino in April of this year.

The remix is a bubbling electronic masterclass in restraint and efficiency recalling Moroder at the height of his powers.

Afronova transform a classic Latin song into a high-energy Afro-Latin House jam! With a perfect blend of tradition and modern vibes, plus powerful Latin and African rhythms, La Sarandonga will be igniting dance floors from South America to Spain.

Exploring sounds and genres that stray far from traditional electronic dance music tropes; Manchester’s White Hotel DJ and noise creator Schuttle whisks Tapir!’s ‘On A Grassy Knoll (We’ll Bow Together) on a futuristic journey. The dreamlike, acid tinged loop of the vocals over electronic bloops take the track into a new dimension of a 3am chill-out space for club goers.

Roman Flügel returns to Phantasy with his second release of 2024 on Erol Alkan’s beloved London label, ‘No Solutions EP’. Following on from ‘Hotel Kathargo / Energies’, which garnered a summer of support from a typically diverse array of DJs including Gerd Janson, Jamie Jones and Saoirse, ‘No Solutions’ expands Flügel’s contributions to Phantasy into a triple track delight, another generous expression of his lifelong immersion in electronic music culture.

It’s time for another taste of Decius Vol. II (Splendour & Obedience). ‘Birth Of A Smirk’ is the second track taken from the second full-length Decius album, following on from ‘Walking In The Heat’.

“There’s usually a moment of rupture in life, where we fall short of even our lowest standards in lieu of some desperate pleasure - a rubicon of sensuality beyond which lies nothing but endless, bitter reckoning. This song is about such moments of personal fracture…HAIL”
Meat Divine aka L. Saoudi

Welsh producer / DJ and femme culture founder Elkka retools Lynx's ode to the joys of (occasional) conversation onto the dancefloor for a remix driven by an irresistible bouncing, pounding house groove. Now, stop talking and get dancing:

“When you get asked to remix a merchant of pure gay chaos you don't say no. I've been following Lynks for a while and I just loved their debut record. Small Talk was my favourite track off the album and I adored working with it. The idea came super naturally, I just kept imagining myself on the dance floor of a sweaty gay club and this is what came out…so to speak”

Kneecap’s hit single collaboration with Fontaines DC's Grian Chatten 'Better Way To Live' gets a frenetic, skittering overhaul from London based mixer/producer genius Sam Interface (More Time Records) who doubles up the tempo, turns up the bass and then lets the whole thing burn bright as the sun.

Belfast DJ/producer/legend David Holmes takes on Kneecap's Parful by toning down rave intensity of the original track and transplanting Mo Chara and Móglaí Bap's vocals into five minutes of fuzzed up, bass driven psychedelic rare groove music.

“I Love these guys so much so it was an absolute honour and joy to remix their forthcoming single PARFUL…” - David Holmes

Sick in the Head is the sound of the Wu Tang's 36 Chambers hidden behind a doorway on the Shankill Road, a chugging old school hip hop groove and dual voices frustrated at reaching the ends of both their overdrafts and their tethers. Remixed here by Revival Season’s Jonah Swilley.

David Harrow's High Voltage Dubs is a stunning exploration of the modular analog dub genre, showcasing his innovative approach to sound. The album blends rich textures and deep rhythms, creating an immersive listening experience that invites you to lose yourself in its layers. Harrow's mastery of analog equipment brings warmth and depth to each track, making the dub feel alive and dynamic. This groundbreaking work not only pushes the boundaries of the genre but also pays homage to its roots, celebrating the essence of dub while infusing it with a fresh, modern energy. With all Instruments played by Harrow himself, it's a must-listen for both longtime fans and newcomers alike.

Dizzy K returns with Sweet Music Volume II, the long awaited sequel to 2018’s hit first entry celebrating the music of one of Nigeria’s most beloved artists. The second instalment compiles the best of the best from Dizzy’s final three secular albums from the 1980’s, delivering more infectious Nigerian synth boogie guaranteed to get you moving to the dance floor.

The selected tracks showcase a wealth of different genres; Soca, Pop, R&B, Funk, Neo-Soul & Boogie all feature, creating a dynamic blend of traditional West African sounds merged with American pop for a result that's unmistakably Dizzy. Pressed in a very limited run, this is another not-to-miss collection of never before reissued Dizzy K, and a must have for lovers of left field nostalgic Nigerian sounds.

Jaakko Eino Kalevi releases the dancefloor-ready Kiva Kiva remix of ‘Galactic Romance’. The original track featured on Jaakko’s acclaimed 2023 album Chaos Magic and was sung in Chinese by Yu-Ching Huang. ‘Galactic Romance (Kiva Kiva Versio)’ is the latest in a run of exceptional remixes by Fred Falke and Richard X of tracks from Chaos Magic.

Back in 2014, Vezurro remixed Jaakko's ‘No End’ for the Dreamzone Remixes EP (Weird World). Now the cult Finnish synthpop producer is back as Kiva Kiva with a brilliant high-energy, Bobby O-style take on ‘Galactic Romance’. He says: "Kiva Kiva combines Finnish melancholy with mid-80s Italo optimism into a unique Fenno-disco interpretation of Galactic Romance."


Jaakko also comments: "Once again Kiva Kiva – aka Vezurro aka Kasko – delivers an amazing version of Galactic Romance that makes you feel nostalgia for the future. And this time it's in Finnish!"

Belgian producer Gratts and pioneering Chicago vocalist Robert Owens first collaborated on ‘Brighter Future’ back in 2021 after meeting in the streets of Kreuzberg years before.

The pair now join forces again for follow up ‘Today’, a powerful and emotive, 90s inspired deep house cut with layered backings and Owens’ lilting affirmations soaring above. This one takes us straight back to house music's ecstatic heydays.

CWPT are proud to reissue Acopia’s self-titled sophomore album, available on vinyl outside of Australia for the first time, and accompanied by two powerful new remixes from Daniel Avery and JD Twitch of Optimo.

Leaning deep into the heavier palette of his celebrated sound, Daniel Avery transforms the skeletal intimacy of ‘Be Enough’ into skittering, hardcore-indebted, warehouse material. Already established as a breathless highlight of his recent DJ sets, lead singer Kate Durman’s gossamer vocal is layered into a feverish dream state, holding strong beneath an onslaught of kicks and atop powerful bass weight.

JD Twitch conjures his extensive knowledge of brooding outsider music throughout a rich, lucid dub of ‘Holding On’. Coaxing out the band’s gothic undertones, Twitch pulls away a billowing sheet to reveal layers of guitar feedback that recall the resplendent gloom of This Mortal Coil or Sunn O))).

October 10th - DJ, producer and drummer Anna Prior announces the remix edition of her debut EP Almost Love - released earlier this summer via House Anxiety.
