label news from our label. a bit of perspective: this is fun, sincere, serious, unambiguous and friendly - unlike politics today. a bit of press-pective: central wants these black and white records with club music on ’em, so we do another one. this one homes 4 takes on vibes for the floor. how do we keep bs at bay?

new record on help recordings by the arhus quartet maizena. this one is one of those more relaxing and introvert records we put out to stress the fact that life is not always about dancing. pretty sounds and not too many unpleasant or scary moments. most of the music is in the vain of their earlier work on no hands, regelbau and help, a rhythmical ambient music. recorded in the isolated haelge studios surrounded by nothing but the sea and the mols mountains.

what is this? this is a floor-friendly house record with three cuts by dj central. if you’re reading this, we feel it’s safe to assume that you buy records. so yes, you can own this and bring it home to keep if you like. all you need to do is pick it up and spend that hard-earned money of yours. why are we doing this? because running a label is about releasing music and we felt like this was worth sharing with you. no pressure though - don’t panic - take your time to decide. so whether you feel this three-tracker has found a new home or not, thanks for considering expanding your collection with a help record.

what’s on help008? mainly music from the arhus-boy dj sports. it’s sort of a debut, but sports has released a bunch of tracks on regelbau and help over the past years, solo + with his groups maizena, sportscentral and lester. this young sensible producer initiates the release with the breaky hidden spheres that has a cool piano. next another leftwing original from sports. this one, with it’s flute, breakbeat, confident synth chords and beautiful minor nature is a favourite of mr. sports parents. this one is our favorite, his parents. if we haven’t lost you so far, the flipside contains a timeman dance version with more danceability, hook and playing time than the original version of the bridge that was released on the tape sportscentral. last but not least you get an alternative version of that get-in-touch-with-your-inner-passion/synthesizer-melody-rythmical-ambient-track mindless turns, that also originally appeared on the aforementioned tape. we hope you ll like our new record, that, if on repeat, might provide you hours and hours of by-yourself enjoyment.

the new release from help presents works from various help-releated artists. another release from the arhus-imprint that doesn’t directly state club-proof, but still, this one wouldn t mind having a spin or two by your local dance pusher.the opening track is by central, a ripe house tune with both melodies and good-vibes - probably the closest this young man has come to making an anthem. next up is the four piece group maizena with an ambiguous rhythmical ambient-house jam from the area of denmark with the least rainfall. on the b-side you’ll find a raw and to the point recording of dj sports and c.k joining ph 1 in his throwback techno-studio in the suburbs of arhus. next up is the long awaited debut from manmade deejay, who has been cooking a floating rhythm jam for this 5 course meal of modern danish cuisine. last but not least amsterdam-based kaap joined central on a fine day at rubber studios to create this dreamy and galloping ride. all in all this genuine piece of wax is filled with local devotion and love from the help-crew. thanks for the support!

we are very proud to present this new single on help! the a-side, gratitude, is a track recorded in 2014 by dj central in rubber studios, aarhus. if it wasnt for the support and encouragement of fellow regelbau-homies kasper skov and dj sports, this piece of energetic dancemusic wouldn t have seen the light of day. the long, vivid, ambient penta-tune on the 2nd face was recorded during same summer in amsterdam by ask your hands (tobias sachse, kaap, bobby van putten, dj sports and central). releases like this dont thread everybodys needle but we are gonna throw it against the wall and see if it sticks.

on this new record hailing from aarhus, central delivers a more or less floor friendly collection of works. with his curious and unorthodox approach to dance music, this ep offers 4 very different pieces of music. the opening track fresh context a vivid yet robust house jam is followed by the spontaneous and unpolished gentle vertigo. b side starts off with fell, a moody and eerie spin in experimento land. the final track kessem is a melodic and punchy cut. central delivered releases on nord records and yield earlier this year, revealing respectively a darker techno game and a loose house vibe. to those who arent familiar with help recordings, central s widespread sound offers a premium introduction to the labels output. playful yet serious.

new york is awash in emerging young dance producers of different stripes, and, with your go, the debut ep from love letters, a new name is added to the artists community who together are revitalizing the long-dormant dance scene.

with this compilation aarhus-label help recordings presents a selection of electronic music, giving it the self-evident title *relevant material*. on the first face, an uncredited weird intro is followed by two tracks from two debutants. the lofi energy of brooklyn-based love letters is followed by a new-and-classical house-sound from sports, the younger brother of the two label-heads. on the flipside older brother central, who recently appeared on the the neighbour-label nord records, shows his calmer and more melodic side. the local group lester, who did the first tape on the label, deliver a playful jam, a groovy exploration of machine dance music. the final grooves of the compilation reveal another uncredited sportive track.
