2026 marks a milestone: 20 years of Rebirth Records. \nFollowing the first chapter of the project, released in June as a limited-edition double vinyl and digital package, Rebirth 20 returns with Part 2 on August 7. While the first installment highlighted some of the internationally acclaimed names connected to the anniversary celebrations, this second chapter dives deeper into the core identity of the label, bringing together long-standing Rebirth artists, hidden catalogue treasures and fresh reinterpretations of overlooked classics.\nFeaturing key contributions from Corrado Bucci, Chromatic Filters, Blue Mondays, Matteo Gamba, Memo Framed, Federico Baracco and other members of the extended Rebirth family, the release reflects the label's long-standing commitment to nurturing talent and building lasting artistic relationships. Alongside these are carefully selected remixes and rediscoveries that reconnect the past with the present, revealing another side of the Rebirth story: one built not only on celebrated moments, but also on enduring creative connections developed across two decades.\nThe collection also includes contemporary reworks from artists such as Darryl Baalki, Elado, Willem Mulder, Red Axes, Afriqua, Soul of Hex, Mikhu, Darren Emerson, Valentino Kanzyani and Ramonpang, presenting a broader view of the Rebirth universe, where house, deep, disco, indie dance and electronic experimentation coexist naturally.\nIf "Part One" celebrated the global resonance of Rebirth, "Part Two" explores its roots, community and creative DNA, offering a deeper look into the artists, records and relationships that have shaped the label's identity over the last twenty years.\n

Rebirth 10 marks the 10th Anniversary of Rebirth Records. It's a special compilation, spread over 2 CDs, selected and mixed by the legendary Larry Heard Aka Mr. Fingers, including some of the key releases of the label in this first 10 years plus a couple of unreleased tracks. Established by Daniele 'Shield' Contrini in 2006, Rebirth Records has surely grown up over the years into one of the most respected Italian independent labels. A series of high impact releases alongside a focused and strong promotional work, have helped to enhance the reputation and credibility of Rebirth. The label owner Shield remembers 'The first release was a record that had been in my bag for years. I just wondered why not resurfacing it again with a new remix and a vocal version and that's what I did. And If 'Finest Dream' feat. Alison Limerick was ready, remixed by Silicone Soul'. Shield continues 'The philosophy behind the label finds its roots in the past, building a link between the soul of a song and the warmth of a melody then combining them with a contemporary sound. I'm always looking for something timeless, something that I can imagine to still listen to in 20 or 40 years time. Collaborations with artists like Shara Nelson, Tracey Thorn, Ben Onono and recently Antena have been essential moments for us. In this first 10 years we released music from established artists like Joey Negro, Michel Cleis, Agoria, Butch, Marc Romboy, Freaks, Rampa and Blond:ish. We had remixes from incredibly names like Motor City Drum Ensemble, Deetron, Radio Slave, Tensnake, Morgain Geist, Henrik Schwarz, Andrès, Joe Claussell, Soul Clap, Jimmy Edgar and Ripperton. And had the pleasure to bring to the attention of the big audience new talents such as NUfrequency, Tevo Howard, Robytek, Trio / Bocca Grande, Alison Marks / Wallflower, Corrado Bucci, Chromatic Filters, James Teej and Villanova'. Talking about the celebratory compilation Shield says 'Who better than Larry Heard could do it for us? He delivered a mix that embodies the soul and the different facets of the label. Larry, as well as having remixed three songs for the label, is among the producers who had written the history of a musical genre and one of the names who most have influenced our music. The cover of the CD is designed by Emil Schult, who has created some special images for the occasion. Visiting him in his studio in Dusseldorf and breathing his Kraftwerk experience has been an unforgettable moment. I'm really pleased they both agreed to work on this project'.
