#49 Top Releases in Minimal / Deep Tech

Founded by Michael Bibi and PAWSA in 2015, Solid Grooves Records has grown from an underground London-based movement into a globally recognised force at the forefront of the scene. Its ascent has run parallel to the meteoric rise of its co-founders, whose uncompromising vision and dedication to the scene have helped establish the label as a benchmark for quality and innovation within the house realm. Honoured with accolades such as DJ Mags Best Label at the Best of British Awards, the imprint has become synonymous with genre-defining releases and unforgettable dancefloor moments. Now, that journey hits a pivotal point. Bringing together core members of the labels journey over the past decade, the 100th release is a powerful statement of where the label stands in 2025 - forward-thinking, dancefloor-driven, and relentlessly tuned into the sound of now and tomorrow. A defining moment for the imprint, the release gathers the extended Solid Grooves family for a no-holds-barred package that captures the essence of the brands sound, ethos, and evolution. The ten-track compilation features fresh music from both co-founders, who each return to the label for the first time since 2023, alongside long-time Groovers Dennis Cruz, Bassel Darwish, Reelow and Ramin Rezaie - artists whove been integral since the earliest releases. It also champions and celebrates the key residents and the ever-emerging new wave of talent shaping the labels future, with standout contributions from KinAhau, Ben Sterling, Blackchild, and Silvie Loto. Closely tied to and landing just ahead of the collectives Ibiza summer residency at DC10, this release is more than a collection of tracks; its a celebration of a sound, a scene, and a crew that has grown stronger with every passing year. Solid. Groovy. Essential.

#88 Top Releases in Afro House

With The Legacy – All Time Best Sellers Vol. 3 , MoBlack Records continues its journey through the tracks that have defined its sound on dancefloors around the world. This third chapter celebrates 20 essentials that connect ancestral rhythms, modern production and a global community of artists, each piece carrying its own story while contributing to one coherent, forward-moving vision. The experience opens with Mabiisi Baakoya (Armonica Remix), a powerful meeting of traditional vocals and refined, emotive groove. Barbatuques Baianá (Pablo Fierro Edit) channels raw, percussive energy into a streamlined club tool, while Sparrow & Barbossa, Young Saab Lean Into The Sunshine brings a radiant, vocal-driven moment built for open-air sets. On the deeper side, Nyaruach Gatluak (Hyenah Beat Version) and Sunlightsquare Oyelo (Adam Ten & Mita Gami Remix) blend emotional weight with intricate rhythm work, pushing both heart and feet in equal measure. Roots and innovation continue to collide with Embatucadores Terra Rasgada (Santiago Garcia Remix), where dense percussion meets detailed sound design. CISUMMI ft. Stevo Atambire DIKEBO and Badbox Zurna showcase MoBlacks passion for hand-crafted grooves and hypnotic hooks, while Zakes Bantwini feat. Nana Atta Amanga and Moojo Healing lean into vocal charisma and soaring atmospheres. Moments of introspection arrive with Elfenberg Loma and Juan Yarin Mirage, both rich in texture and tension. The compilations later chapters highlight a new wave of signature cuts. Egeme ft. Sofiya Nzau No Nginya and Dennis Cruz, Ian Ludvig Black Bird bring striking melodic ideas and tight, rolling rhythms. Fahlberg Wytal, Safar & LeCloarec Scandalosa, Jamek Ortega, JUNO Let It Go and Arodes Storm underline the labels wide palette, from deep and hypnotic to bold and anthemic. Closing in style, Lokkhi Terra meets Dele Sosimi Cubafro (Armonica Remix) and Eden Shalev feat. Cantos des Baobab Cantos de Dennadon tie together Afro, Latin and organic influences into a finale that feels both celebratory and timeless. The Legacy – All Time Best Sellers Vol. 3 stands as another chapter in MoBlacks living archive: a tribute to the tracks that have shaped its identity and a statement of how far Afro-influenced electronic music can travel, from intimate dancefloors to global stages.
