Recognition is one of the oldest Polish record labels releasing electronic music on vinyl. After over 25 years of continuous activity and dozens of records, its time for a recapitulation - and time to honour all the artists associated with the label. Jacek Sienkiewicz, an uncompromising artist and tireless promoter of new sounds, decided to invite almost all producers and musicians who have ever been guests at Recognition to collaborate. Recognition 25 is a musical journey, starting with the club hit Drifting by Jacek Sienkiewicz and ending with the ethereal ambient of Giro Araña. In between, we find a whole palette of colours and shades of modern electronics, from proper club tracks to technologically and compositionally advanced experiments. The first record of the compilation is definitely intended for DJs - tracks tailored for parties are presented by Chino, Jurek Przeździecki, Michał Wolski, the DWA duo, and Etiop. The second record is much more experimental - here Robert Piotrowicz, Porosty, Ostrowski, Jackname Trouble and Sroczyński present their singular visions. Both worlds come together via tracks recorded by Jacek with his friends - Max Loderbauer, AtomTM and Ricardo Villalobos. The compilation clearly shows how diverse, yet creative and original, the artists who have collaborated with Recognition over the past 25 years are. It is also a perfect example of how contemporary electronic music connects, inspires and paves new paths. And when created with heart and passion - it becomes timeless.
