Various Artists - Anjunadeep Explorations Label Sampler 03 Various Artists

Anjunadeep Explorations delivers a third vinyl sampler, marking the label's 100th release and two years since its launch.

Anjunadeep, the imprint's parent label, has become "one of dance music's ultimate tastemaker labels" (Billboard), best known for breaking global artists like Ben Böhmer, Lane 8, Tinlicker, and Dusky.

The Explorations imprint is an evolution of the much-loved Various Artist EP series of the same name, which spanned 25 editions between 2016 and 2023 on Anjunadeep. Responsible for introducing now-mainstay acts to the label such as Ben Böhmer, CRi, Luttrell, Rezident, and Simon Doty, the series also featured underground talents including Theo Kottis, Sam Goku, and Gacha Bakradze.

Between the label's launch in July 2024 and the release of this sampler, the label has introduced just under 50 acts to the Anjunadeep label group, comprising just shy of half of the label's output so far. With a release schedule booked until 2027, it shows no signs of slowing down.

The latest vinyl sampler features six exciting tracks showcasing fresh talent like British duo josh & sam, who are twins, and Argentina's Rossie, alongside established names including the widely respected lo-fi producer dj poolboi. In keeping with the imprint's ethos, the release also sees three further label debuts from AFFKT, foglight, and Giom, respectively hailing from Spain, Lebanon, and France.
