My Love Is Underground

Not been here for a while, because well just didn't feel like it. Many things have happened since my last post. I'm no longer in charge of Dahousehead.org as it was too much for me to handle. Didn't think being an admin and owner would be too much to deal with, but it was. People online can behave worse than kids..

Anyway, i'm excited about this entry because i get to talk about a record label that has got my full undivided attention. The Parisian record label (and i mean record as they are STRICTLY vinyl) 'My Love Is Underground' has for the past few months been putting out a rebirth of the 'classic' NJ/NY Garage House sound. By this i mean that early 90's House sound hammered by the likes of Tony Humphries at the Zanzibar, etc. It gives me so much joy to know that this sound has been brought back from the underground to resurface in no other than France. (can a mid-nineties French House Golden Era be back again?)

When i heard of the first 2 releases i was blown away, even more so when i found out that the artist that made the second release, Paris Underground Trax was actually Izmo, from the much celebrated 'Where Is Eddie? EP' on 9Ts Records. I immediately sought out my favorite place to shop online, Juno, and bought their latest release: Jerzzey Boy's Lost Cuts Pt.1

The next 2 releases seem to follow on the underground vibe: Kool Vibe - Catchin' The Vibe E.P. MLIU04 by Underground Paris

MLIU06 Inner Sense - The Second Vibe E.P. by Underground Paris


I wonder however where is MLIU05? The Facebook page shows a link labeled as "Kool Vibe EP MLIU05", but that redirects to the Kool Vibe - Catchin' The Vibe E.P., which is labeled on the Soundcloud page as the 4th release (MLIU04). Hope this gets cleared up. Until then, i plan to get the next 2 releases and if the forthcoming releases are as great as these, then im sold until they make no more (which i hope never happens).

***UPDATE*** MLIU05 will be the never to be repressed, 7'' exclusive that will be given out at the label's first night in London on May 13th. Quoted from their Soundcloud:

Special limited 7inch release for sale at the label party in London!

MLIU05 Special Label Party in London by Underground Paris

And to answer the question of, will this be available to non-party goers? Brawther answered that in the comments section:

"This record will be sold exclusively at the label party in london... It will be one record per person... No speculators will be tolerated... If there are available copies after the party, we will then make an announcement and sell these direct... Don't sleep :)"
