review quotes:

"House at it's shiny best. This is what dj's mean when they talk about proper." Kate Wildblood, G-Scene

"The tracks selected for Many Shades of House fit together beautifully, each carrying a genuinely individual style. Laidback, chill and full of positive vibrations, this record hits the spot for grindingly soulful music." Sarah Ferguson, Exclaim Magazine

"Bastions of all things deep and housey over the past decade, the Vancouver based Nordic Trax imprint revisits its recent past with this back (and future) catalogue delving compilation. Nordic Trax have outlasted many other imprints selling similar wares and are still serving deeper house fans well, ten years after the imprint's inception." Jon Freer, hearingisbelieving blog

FORMAT: NT050- 12", mp3, WAV

Kelvin K is back with a storming 4-tracker of deep and funky house; with massive DJ & radio support from Ben Watt, Fish Go Deep, Marques Wyatt, Mark Farina, DJ Heather, Jay Tripwire, Gavin Boyce, Miles Maeda, Halo, Luke McKeehan, Murray Richardson, Connor L and Laurent Garnier among others.

"Kelvin K is no stranger to Nordic Trax and is back once again to help commemorate the label's 50th release. All four offerings are widely different, but two quickly turn ears. 'Wanting You' is a beautiful example of working simplicity to your favour; gorgeous chords moodily morph throughout for an aural journey that deviates little, but delivers abundantly. 'Dirty Basement' on the flip goes West Coast with thick percussion and a plucky bass that make for one jazzed-out smoky track." URB

THANKS TO EVERYBODY WHO CAME OUT TO OUR 10TH ANNIVERSARY PARTY ON SUNDAY MAY 20TH 2007 AT THE COMMODORE

Head over to Samurai.fm to stream the sets. This was one legendary night for the headz...

the actual order of the night was as follows:
Dana D > Gavin Froome Live > H-Foundation (Halo then HippE) > Fiasco > Diz > Luke + Jay (back to back)

...because the recordings are from the sound board at the Commodore we don't have all of everybody's sets, and there is some distortion, and everybody brought it...but DIZ fucking rocked it!

ARTIST: JAY TRIPWIRE
TITLE: GEMINI SOUL
FORMAT: NT052 - CD, mp3, WAV
US release date: APRIL 24, 2007

"Jay Tripwire is responsible for some of the most exciting underground house music to come out of North America in recent years." - DJ Magazine

Finally after 10 years behind many of house music's most creative productions, agent provocateur and space cowboy, Jay Tripwire releases his debut album on Canada’s leading underground house label Nordic Trax. With ‘Gemini Soul’, Jay's slips in to his aural space pod taking us on a journey to the cosmic roots of house, bringing into full effect the evolution that his production career has taken. Lifting off with the deep productions of “Absorb” & “Body to Body”, through dancefloor burners like “Call and Answer” and “Tokyo Space Noodles”, Jay has delivered an album that is bound to be banged out in the clubs, but still satisfy any cosmonaut on their home hi-fi.

NT048 IN STORES & ONLINE NOW

ARTIST: CHRIS HARRIS & DOM MARTIN
TITLE: THE MADNAIL EP
FORMAT: NT048- 12", mp3, WAV

"The Glasgow connection heads west to Vancouver for four monster deep house cuts. The two superfunky versions of 'Get Involved.. are good enough but don't, on pain of death, miss the trackier, altogether tougher 'Dig It... Also with two versions, one is sleazy, bleepy and techy, the other quirky, bouncy and just as tough. When it comes to the underground, Glasgow rules."

- IDJ

"Two fast rising stars on the Scottish underground house scene out on Nordic Trax with some jackin’ Chicago style beats, techy elements and big room attitude. “Get Involved” includes a vocal sample that penetrates the floor and the beats don’t let up for the entire duration, “Dig It” instead is a bit more dirtier and to the bone with some trippy touches that make all the difference. Interesting."
- Discoid

See what the media types have to say...

"Vancouver's prolific house music purveyor returns to Nordic Trax to drop this quality EP. Niceness from the North, my friends!" BPM Magazine

"Mr Prolific himself is in sparkling form here. The pick might be the saxy, jazzy blissed out 'Cu Bownse’, a class fusion of West Coast dub and Chi-town depth, or its similarly jazzy deep Gavin Froome and Luke McKeehan Double Bogey Mix." IDJ

Artist: Kelvin K Feat. Dom Thomspon
Title: 2 Doors Down [Remixes: HippE, Members Only, Kelvin K]


Three new remixes of Kelvin Kresege's deep houser here and with Hipp-E and Members Only there's much to look forward to. Hipp-E takes it down his usual path of deep disco-flavoured tribal and adds some shimmeringly cool Latin riffs, while MO's is pure late-night smokery. Best of all though is K's own, a sprightly summery affair that's got Buzzin Fly stamped all over it.

Artist: Murray Richarson

Title: Let It Rock EP

"Murray's two deep housers would be special enough on their own but add to them a remix par excellence from Gavin Froome and you've got Nordic's best release since their last. Froome's reversion of ‘Pink Champagne' shuffles, booms, clonks and funks in all the right places, is old skool one minute, defiantly noughty the next. Crank up the smoke and set the strobe to 11."

Jazzy Eyewear 'Doin Wrong'

If I happen to meet Fabian Giannattasio (aka DJ Mood and Jazzy Eyewear) and his glasses are stylish, I'll be disappointed. Which is never how I feel about his music, and this single is no exception. 'Doing Wrong' is super spacious, letting the minimal bass and tracky drums do all the talking.

(XLR8R Magazine 92)

         
 

   

Bassline Road 'You Will Find It'

Kelvin K 'Poundland Pimpin EP'
This Vancouver label’s top tier underground status is confirmed via two excellent singles: Colorado duo Bassline Road’s raw dub-funk, and Kelvin K’s gritty, Rhodes-soloing tracks. Bassline Road (also of Deep House Soldiers fame) employs handclaps, conga riffs, and electric bass over moody-but-sexy slow and low 4/4 disco rhythms. Moulton vet Kelvin brings that famed SF studio’s sound to his new Brighton, UK digs on a smooth, propulsive, and jazzy gem.

(XLR8R Magazine 89)

         
 
   

Kelvin K 'Poundland Pimpin EP'

Kelvin was actually born in the UK, brought up in San Francisco and now lives in Brighton… Here on his debut release for Nordic Trax you can almost hear his various musical influences spread over 3 lovely house tracks that are just right for the floor. Deep house grooves, lovely Rhodes workings, a good solid groove and some vocal back up that is just enough to set the mood. Another very fine release from this great label – get looking for it in the shops!

(Discoid Magazine (Italy) June 2005)

 
 
   

Bassline Road'You Will Find It'

Bassline Road is actually a collaboration between Matthew Bandy (Deep House Soldiers) and Jon Nedza (Community Recordings). Three versions for you to enjoy of this percussive led deep house track with its spacey keys, vocal snippets, throbbing bassline and pounding groove; ‘Solar Drums Mix', ‘Original Mix' and ‘Intro/Outro' – all great, now its over to you for the choice of which to play!

(Discoid Magazine (Italy) June 2005)

The event was in celebration of Mr. Farina's Mushroom Jazz 5 (Om Records) -- the best yet, if anyone's asking -- with Heather in support of her new mix for Fabric (Fabric 21). Held at Vancouver's infamous Commodore Ballroom, the packed event was a real treat for music lovers & dancers alike as Mark & Heather blew the roof off! To view photos of the event go to this album. If you're in Vancouver, don't forget DIZ @ VODA this Friday June 3.

Demarkus Lewis 'Parallels Ep'

NT040-CD  Many Shades of House
Coming soon to a record store near you, 'Many Shades of House' will hit the streets in North America July 13th. Mixed & compiled by Luke McKeehan, it's the latest in a line of stellar releases from 'Canada's finest label' (Blues & Soul). Featuring tracks from House music heavyweights Troublemen, Harley&Muscle, Swayzak, Halo Varga and Demarkus Lewis, includes  a bonus cd of un-mixed NT classics!  But don't take our word for it, read more:

"Label love is such a sweet addiction. You see the label, love the latest release and the love affair continues. It's like that with Nordic Trax and me. I fell for their so not boring Canadian house back in 2001 when McKeehan introduced Morgan Page's ‘All I Need' and the vocals of Colette. I was hooked. Come 2004 and that hook is still there with this latest Nordic gem. When Home And Gardens, Gavin Froome and Marques Wyatt join the mix the party just has to be had. Yet again Nordic in the capable hands of Mr McKeehan have proved deep house is anything but boring, predictable or past it. One listen to the bass line of Rithma's ‘The Gypsie Dance' and you'll be falling."
