Rebirth Records has announced a forthcoming compilation, Rebirth 20, to mark the 20th anniversary of its foundation.
Founded and run by Brescia-based Daniele ’Shield’ Contrini, the compilation will feature artists such as Alva Noto, Glenn Underground, Makèz, Luciano & Michel Cleis, Cromby, Terrence Parker, Martinou, DJ Babatr, RSS Disco, Liquid Liquid, John Ciafone, Red Axes, Silicone Soul, Cengiz, Nick Holder, Einka and more.
It’s set to be released as a limited edition double vinyl on Record Store Day (18 April), and will be followed by a digital series commencing in June. The compilation will comprise remixes of some of the label’s stand-out tracks, as well as rare gems that slipped through the cracks over the years.
Commenting on the compilation, Contrini said that it represents “where I started, and where I’m going. Twenty years of music transforming a seed into a new universe.”
He added that the compilation also incorporates a personal element, “Rebirth 20 was born from the most authentic place in my history. The visual concept is based on a series of childhood drawings I made when I was 3/4 years old, which my dear mother carefully preserved and gave back to me last year before passing away. They have become the emotional core of this project, symbolising my creative origins, transformed into future.”
The release builds on the previous ten-year milestone for the label, which saw the release of a compilation curated by Larry Heard.
Over the years, Rebirth has championed artists such as Blond:ish, Rampa, Danilo Plessow, Jimi Jules and Argy, as well as releasing music from the likes of Agoria, Luciano, Michel Cleis, Dave Lee, Butch, Chaim, Emanuel Satie, Marc Romboy, Freaks (Luke Solomon & Justin Harris) and more.
