#45 Top Overall Releases

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.
