After enjoying pole position in the Buzz Chart following release on Beatport, it would be completely understandable for people to get excited by the news that the latest Rising Music release is now also available on iTunes!

You can get your copy from iTunes HERE

Nightriders supply us with ‘Hey’ – a fantastic disco infused anthem, full of string stabs, funky bass lines, whirling synths and a chopped up vocal sample great for a peak time floor filler.

Chris Lake and Marco Lys add their magic by giving the original a tougher re-working – adding a rolling bass line and extra spicy drums with big signature build and after the success of their recent album ‘Cross The Line’ it’s easy to see how they have created a highly quality produced main room edit.

Nom De Strip who with previous releases on Southern Fried, Ministry of Sound, Trouble & Bass, Sneakerz, and Surfer Rosa adds to the package by transforming the original into a chunky house classic by using new bass lines and choppy beats.

Hope you all enjoy this great package from Rising Music and the very talented Nightriders.

Lake & Lys - Cross the Line

Chris Lake and Marco Lys join forces for their first studio album ‘Cross The Line’ which includes some amazing tracks, from the classic ‘La Tromba Risin’ to brand new unreleased material that is sure to blow you away.

So how did the album come about you ask? Well, for the past 5 years Chris Lake is a name that has become synonymous in house music. As a DJ he’s travelled the globe. As a producer, he’s topped industry charts over and over again. Simply put, he’s become one of the greatest DJ/Producers in the world.

Together with production partner Marco Lys, whose reputation has been forged on endless days in the studio perfecting his unique sound of electro tinged house, they combine forces with spectacular results.
The album itself is a blend of house unique to Chris and Marco’s signature sounds. Disco infused beats, big hands in the air build-ups; classic mesmerising melodies and groovy bass lines make this album something for everyone with a track for every dance floor. 

Hope you enjoy this great album from two of house music’s great producers. Lake & Lys bring you ‘Cross The Line’… Enjoy.

Next up on Rising we have a pretty special collaboration between two of Rising’s hottest artists.

Chris Lake and Nelski deliver ‘Minimal Life’ a big peak time anthem. With a deep rolling bass, techy glitches, driving drums and vocals that will keep you going till morning, it’s bound to be a dance floor smash. Also on the package is the instrumental, so you can enjoy the true class of production, even without the vocals.

First up on remix duty is DJ PP, the South American mastermind behind top 10 Beatport hit ‘Miami Vice’. He turns the original into a bouncier techy version, perfect for the summer.

Next is Filthy Rich, a talented guy who has graced labels such as Toolroom and Cr2 provides another great driving mix, whilst still keeping the original vocals, he manages to create another great addition to the package.

Also contributing to the package in great style is René Amesz, the Dj/Producer from Rotterdam is no stranger to Rising, with previous releases on the label. He transforms Minimal Life into his own.

As an added extra we have supplied the acapella, a great Dj tool for rocking dance floors across the globe.

Hope you enjoy this great package from Rising Music, a real treat, Pete Tong has already included in his essential mix and Mark Knight and Carl Cox are both already big supporters, hope you like it too.

Well, here it is… the day has finally come, when our label head-honcho puts out what he believes to be a compilation worthy of Toolroom Knights‘ status. We’re massively loving the tune selection – probably because we know this is what Lake is really all about – basslines, grooves, pure house… with a nice dose of ‘tech’ just to get the rhythm’s totally following. You can get your copy from iTunes by clicking here or from Beatport by clicking here.

Big day for our favorite vocalist here at Rising. Yes, the time has finally come. The damn right gorgeous Nastala launches her first EP with the support of NewState Music, out now at iTunes. Click HERE to get your copy!

Release Date: 31st May

In today’s undeniably cut-throat industry, it’s refreshing to see a project that embodies the spirit in which house music was born. Rather than competing against each other for the love of fans around the globe, this project sees some of the most innovative and credible labels on the circuit collaborate on this landmark compilation.

This is House….celebrates the very best that the house scene has to offer, with the artists reading like a who’s who of in-form production talent. David Guetta, Faithless, Deadmau5, Steve Angello, Armand Van Helden, Bob Sinclar… all on separate imprints and all brought together for this special double mix.

Chris comments: “Ideas like this are what excite me about this industry. This is a collection of music loving labels, pooling together their catalogue to make a great compilation happen, without the red tape the typically blights projects like this. I’m proud Rising Music is involved and look forward to seeing the reaction from the public.”

This is an upfront collection, with powerful club tracks that will be heard on dance floors internationally, with the inclusion of anthems like Bob Sinclar and Dirty South’s ‘The Russian March’, the Shapeshifters ‘Helter Skelter’, Steve Angello & AN21 ‘Swing N Swoosh’, David Guetta ‘GRRRR’, Chris Lake ‘Release’, James Talk and Ridney’s ’Forever’, and Deadmau5 & Chris Lake ‘I Said’ – all surefire summer hits.

Kieran Mansfield, Marketing and Business Director for Defected Records comments “This is a unique project, being the first time labels of this stature have worked collaboratively to champion dance music. The fact the album will be available globally on iTunes is a huge selling point. It’s good to be working with other labels in this way, we hope it’s the first of many.”

Similar sentiments were mirrored by Stuart Knight,The Business Director of Toolroom Records;

“Toolroom are proud to be part of this pioneering compilation showcasing some of the best House labels and producers in the world.”

This release will be exclusively available on iTunes, a move that aims to encourage the profile of dance music within Apple’s online store.

This is a new movement in uniting dance music…This is House.
