Hey guys,
So it's been 14 months in the making but I'm happy to say finally the first 12" release is available now at Juno and probably your favourite record store. I can imagine quite a few of the soulful jocks playing the Rhythm Plate track as the vocal is simply amazing!

If you want to listen to the tracks in their entirety then they are also on the soundcloud page HERE!!!! (http://www.soundcloud.com/1999recordings)
This release will also be available in 3-4 weeks digitally at first exclusive to Beatport then every where else as usual.
DMC Update Review
Various 'Manchester Connection EP' (1999)
5 out of 5
When many operations seem to be going digital and boring there has to be a clap of thunder and hearty round of applause for anyone daring to launch a New Vinyl Label but Manchester DJ-producer Louis Hughes is taking the plunge to give his new underground house label the only real format it needs. The needle drops and out of the speakers will boom the trippy, booting shimmer of 'Set Tripper' by Oakland's Hector Moralez, washed in spooked voices and radioactive jock-straps coming round the mountain. Two Deep are Louis and Rick 'Middleman' Nicholls, who have already appeared on FlatpackTraxx, Gourmand and Digifunk, loving the vinyl for giving the maximum impact to their Godzilla's bollocks bassline which underpins sax and organ interplay. Rhythm Plate have already appeared on labels like Lost My Dog and DIY, building a formidable deep house rep. Here YSE from the duo remixes their 'Tonight' with deep-fried relish, planting Nesreen's classy vocal and early 90s Knuckles keyboards over skipping groove and the odd robo-fart.
They're off to a great start - give 'em your support. Hopefully others will follow.

The Essentials
Artist: Various Artists
Title: Manchester Connection EP
Label: 1999 Recordings (UK)
Cat No: 19REC001
Style: Deep House
Release Date: 16th October 2009
Format: 12" Vinyl
The Tracks
A1. Hector Moralez – Set Trippin’
A2. Two Deep – Sax Pest
B1. Rhythm Plate feat. Nesreen – Tonight (YSE Unique Remix)
The Lowdown
A new vinyl label setting up in 2009 is a rare event, but Manchester’s 1999 Recordings is bucking all current trends and embracing the 12” format. 1999 is the brainchild of DJ and producer Louis Hughes who also runs a successful digital label ‘6th Sense’. The first release from 1999 is due at the end of October and showcases the varied underground house sound that the label will push. Hector Moralez drops a rolling Chi-town jacker, Two Deep deliver a saxophone-led deep groover and Rhythm Plate continue to impress with their own fresh take on house, aided by Nesreen on vocals.
Hector Moralez from Oakland, California, has established himself as an underground house music heavyweight over recent years. He runs two labels of his own, Minority Music and The Factory and alongside original productions for the likes of Robsoul, Detour, Vista, Brique Rouge, Doubledown, Music For Freaks and Hudd Traxx he records as one half of Fries & Bridges with Phil Weeks.
Rhythm Plate have developed into a hugely respected deep house act over recent years, yet are still widely under-rated. Their music has been signed to labels including Winding Road, DiY, Mantis, Kolour and Lost My Dog, played on Radio 1 by Groove Armada and licensed to scores of compilations, mixed by the likes of Tom Middleton, Johnny Fiasco and Hipp-E & Halo. YSE is one half of Rhythm Plate and reworks the duo’s original track here.
Completing the three track Manchester Connection EP are Two Deep, the duo of 1999 boss Louis Hughes and Rick Nicholls (aka Middleman). Individually Louis and Rick have experience in a range of areas; Louis has run a number of successful club nights in the North West of England, hosts a weekly radio show and now heads up two record labels, while Rick has experience of managing a record store, is an obsessive crate digger and produces dance music across a number of genres. Together as Two Deep, they have released music for labels including Flatpack Traxx, Gourmand and Digifunk.

Comments: This is excellent. Massive props for sticking your balls on the line with a vinyl label. Sax Pest is a great track, subtle enough with the jazzy licks so that it's not over the top but with a great drive and rhythm to the whole track. 10/10! All I need to see on a track title now is 3 characters... YSE! I know that it's going to be 100% quality and again the midlands man doesn't dissapoint.
