Two thousand twenty-three was a year full of impressions. Discovering new artists, selecting new tracks and listening to hundreds of songs. We didn´t stop and created this release filled with dancefloor-fillers.

Marking a decade in motion, 10 Years of Warbeats Records goes beyond being just a compilation — its a sonic time capsule of a label that, since 2015, has been shaping dancefloors and redefining independent electronic music in Brazil and beyond. The 40 tracks selected for this release offer more than just personal favorites — they are the heartbeat of the Warbeats community. Each was chosen not only for its artistic identity but also for its performance across platforms like Beatport, Spotify, YouTube, SoundCloud, Instagram, and TikTok. This is the sound of what resonated, what was bought, streamed, shared, and dropped by DJs from all corners of the globe. From standout remixes by artists like Hozho, Rachel Raw, Steve Darko, Maksim Dark, and FlexB to label-shaping originals from Plastic Robots, Detuned, Groove Delight, Underlow, Fab Massimo, and Flux Zone — this release showcases the diverse aesthetic that has defined Warbeats. With over 8.84 million streams, 3942 videos, 159K Shazams, 634 playlists, and 406 DJ supports (including Armin van Buuren, Solomun, Mau P, Felix Jaehn, and Illusionize), the data reflects the labels growing influence and cultural footprint. Warbeats Records now counts more than 450 tracks and 239 artists in its catalog. A decade in, the label remains true to its roots: delivering explosive sonic bombs with purpose and authenticity. This release is not just a look back — its a statement of everything still to come.

AlpaKa MuziK is incredibly happy to celebrate our 5th anniversary with a massive compilation. This one includes 40 tunes from the last 5 years curated by label boss KOZY. It was an extremely tough job to select 40 tracks from over 600, trying not to re-release too many of the same ones from our 4 year VA as well. Grab all 40 tunes from Beatport for only $16.99. Massive thanks for all support by the artists, listeners and our dedicated fans! Big Love!
