Vinyl enthusiasts and house music lovers, rejoice! In an age where digital music reigns supreme, there’s something undeniably special about the crackle and warmth of a vinyl record. House Cleaning Records (HCR) is here to remind us of the unique charm of vinyl with the release of their very first EP. This limited-edition record not only celebrates the timeless allure of analog sound but also marks a significant milestone for HCR, a label dedicated to fostering community and pushing the boundaries of house music.
Behind this exciting release are the dynamic duo of Kyle Douglas and Jenn Sturgill, the founders of House Cleaning Records. Launched in 2021, HCR is a Seattle-based label with a mission to build a family of like-minded House Music aficionados. Kyle Douglas, a Chicago-bred DJ, sound engineer, and producer with over 23 years of experience, brings his expertise in both vinyl and digital formats. His passion for sound engineering and innovative mixing techniques ensures that HCR‘s productions are always top-notch.
Jenn Sturgill, a House Music enthusiast and successful entrepreneur, complements Kyle’s musical talents with her extensive background in marketing data & analytics and event management. Together, they aim to create a label that embodies community, inclusion, and bold exploration. Their love for House Music and commitment to nurturing talent across generations make HCR a beacon for artists and fans alike.
Their debut EP features the talents of Adam Collins, a longtime producer, mentor, and friend. Adam, known for his work with Euphoria Records, brings a fresh and eclectic sound to this release. The EP is the product of a dedicated partnership, with Adam and the HCR team working closely together to craft and refine each track carefully. The result is a collection of tracks that not only capture the essence of House Music but also push its boundaries.

Side A kicks off with “Get Me Started,” a high-energy dancefloor groover with rhythmic pianos, bongos, and a summery vibe. This track marks a departure from Adam’s classic Tech House sound, showcasing his versatility and willingness to explore new musical territories. Following up is “Upstart,” an underground gem inspired by an unexpected encounter in Chicago. This tracky, funky groove is perfect for late-night sessions, packed with pace and movement that keep the energy high.
Side B opens with “Kucni Snimak,” a deep minimal roller translated from Serbian as ‘Home Movie.’ This track, created during Adam’s time in Belgrade, offers a relaxed, musical vibe ideal for after-hours hangouts. Closing out the EP is “Vracar,” an eclectic groover named after a neighborhood in Belgrade. This stripped-down piece features live arrangements and a unique blend of sounds, capturing the creative spirit of late-night sessions.
The record is available in a limited batch of 150 records, each hand-labeled and packaged by the HCR team. Some lucky buyers might even find personal notes and gifts inside their sleeves. Vinyl purchasers will also receive exclusive digital access to the tracks, making this release a must-have for collectors and DJs alike.
