Our small (but beefy)
Dangerhouse Skylab label is catching fire, with no fewer than 8 releases scheduled for this first half of the year... We're off to a strong start with the
Scaners highly anticipated new album,
III
, 11 unstoppable tracks of synth punk recorded at
Java Club studios... Two hit singles already available online
No Return
and
Zero Gravity

Jonathan Sirit, two versions will be available, black vinyl or blue/black/transparent splatter.... DSL 089, co-production with
Adrenalin Fix /
FOLC /
Wanda Rcds/
Beluga Rcds, 500 copies, out 13 March...
The next release from our small (but beefy) DRS label arrives in a few days' time in the form of a thumbs-up to the furious debut mini-Lp from young Lyon-based Bongo Kids... 6 hyper-effective tracks in 12', drawing their roots in those French punk scenes of the eighties, forging an enthusiastic following over the course of concerts, with an obvious freshness and spontaneity... French lyrics, a punk rock sound forged at Java Club Studio (fast becoming the unmissable ref of places to record), a solid master from Daniel Husayn at North London BF, and here's a mini-Lp reflecting the insolent health of the young Lyon scene for some time.... DSL 091, 300 copies, out early March 2024.
As if that wasn't enough, a new pressing of the Gee Strings' fantastic latest album Speed Soul Racer
is in the pipeline, the first edition selling out thanks to the band's hyperactivity on stages all over Europe... This repressing will benefit from new artwork, and will be available on black vinyl and also splatter... DSL 071, co-production with Wanda Rcds, Ghost Highway, Strykhnine, KOTJ Rcds...
....And to round off this rich news from our small (but beefy) label, we're delighted to offer this two-tone repress of
Teenage Head's album with
Marky Ramone.... Issued specially at the band's request to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the band's formation (yes, 1974!), it will be available to fans at a beautiful
birthday bash announced on 6 April in Hamilton (Canada)... Of course, we'll have carefully saved some copies for European fans, DSL 081, 350 ex, half pink/half black vinyl (matched with
Stephen Mahon's bass!), available at the counter in early March....
