Melbourne based Haul Music’s latest outing hit the digital shelves earlier this month. The housey Hacienda Ep – care of Andy Hart & Mike Buhl is available now from Beatport.

Melbourne’s underground house music scene has produced some rather pretty boys over the years, but only rarely has it produced such beautiful music. In this latest release we bring you both! Put your hands together, prick up your ears, and be still your beating hearts as we welcome the incredible talents of Mike Buhl and Andy Hart, with their debut collaboration, Hacienda. Each of these respective young slashies (that’s deejay-slash-producer for those who didn’t know) has already attracted solid support for their solo work over the last twelve months, but this combined outing is truly something special.

Fans of Matthew Dear’s Spectral Sound and Ghostly International labels will be thrilled at the latest edition to the Ghostly Store. The Library Collection includes 40 classic and hard to find CDs from the Ghostly vault and is available to buy direct for just US$150.

The Library Collection contains early Ghostly classics like Dykehouse’s Midrange, Aeroc’s Viscous Solid, and Tadd Mullinix’s Winking Makes a Face up through more recent highlights including School of Seven Bells’ Alpinisms, Choir of Young Believers’ This Is for the White in Your Eyes, Matthew Dear’s Asa Breed, and Mux Mool’s Skulltaste, as well as notable compilations Disco Nouveau, Idol Tryouts 2, and Spectral Sound, Vol. 1 plus thirty more. It even comes with a custom Ghostly toy of some sort – What you’d do with it is anybody’s guess but it does look kind of cool.

Purchase it now from the Ghostly Store

LUKE SLATER – CLASS ACTION

So Steve Ward has been busy remixing this classic track overnight and we are very happy to say that the results so far are extremely impressive. Actually the results are out of control and you can check out the teaser below for a sneaky taste of what the finished edit will sound like. Steve Ward will perform the completed track in his live set tonight and there may even be another surprise or two hidden amongst his own productions for keen trainspotters.
