UK house music institution SlothBoogie celebrate a monumental 15 years in the game with a special anniversary compilation and a landmark party at Berlin’s Panorama Bar this July. Available from 25 July on double LP vinyl and digital, the release brings together a who’s who of global underground talent, with many of the artists part of the SlothBoogie journey since their humble beginnings as a blog in 2010.Combining household names and future stars alike across the 15 tracks, the compilation reflects SlothBoogie’s continued unwavering dedication to platforming artists from across the house and disco spectrum.“It feels pretty surreal to think back about 15 years of SlothBoogie. We would never have guessed where our strangely named blog would have taken us all those years ago... What started out as a group of mates nerding out about disco and house tracks online back in 2010 grew and morphed into something very special. We feel incredibly privileged when thinking of all the fun we've had, which all began with a passion for sharing music we love.. – SlothBoogie founders Pat, Danny & Conor.A love letter to the artists and friendships that have defined SlothBoogie over the last decade and a half, there are a number of highlights across the compilation.Revered Scottish producer The Revenge, known for his dusty MPC-driven grooves and releases on Delusions of Grandeur and Roar Groove contributes ‘Take Your Time’, while Demuja, the Austrian powerhouse and one of the most in-demand names in modern house, delivers ‘Backwards’. A longtime friend of the label, he’ll also headline the 15 Years of SlothBoogie party at Panorama Bar with his hybrid/live set.Also featuring on the compilation is Intr0beatz, a central figure in Iceland's dance scene and a consistent SlothBoogie favourite, who returns with ‘Unconditional’. New Zealand’s Philippa also contributes, whose intricate, jazz-influenced house productions have made her one of the scene’s fastest-rising names, opening the compilation with ‘Little Lady’, a radiant, uplifting heater that sets the tone for the whole release.Also returning are Joe Cleen, Tiptoes, Demuir, HNQO, Ruff Stuff, Ralph Session, Lavan and Horsemen - each bringing unique additions to the compilation. The digital edition adds exclusive tracks from Russia’s Scruscru and Jad & The, an Aussie producer known for his funk-fuelled, synth-laden cuts.Since its inception in 2010 as a niche blog sharing deep cuts and disco edits, SlothBoogie has evolved into one of London’s most respected underground imprints. Over 15 years, it has become synonymous with quality, no-filler dance music, nurturing new talent while continuing to collaborate with established figureheads of the scene.From its intimate Shoreditch and Dalston parties in the early 2010s, to sun-drenched Croatian boat parties, snow-covered Alpine stages, Space Ibiza’s terrace and marathon Berlin sets, SlothBoogie’s reach has extended far beyond its London roots, with a distinct sonic aesthetic. Now headed to Berlin’s iconic Panorama Bar to celebrate this milestone anniversary, the invite from one of dance music’s most respected venues is a nod to the brand’s growth.With nearly 50 releases under its belt, a beloved edits series, regular radio shows and a global fanbase of dancers, diggers, and DJs alike, the brand has stood the test of time by staying true to its ethos: sharing music we love with people who get it.[info sheet from distr.]
