Various Artists - 30 Years of Freerange Records, Vol. 3 [12"]

Thirty years deep, Freerange continues to evolve. “30 Years Of Freerange” assembles 30 tracks from 30 artists, released across five EPs in a measured rollout that leads to a lovingly curated box set built for lasting impact beyond the churn of trends and algorithms. With Volume 3, the project draws together key figures from the label’s past alongside a new generation reshaping its future direction, stitching together the signature Freerange energy: soul-rooted electronics, future-facing rhythms, and grooves that pull you in. Atjazz steps up for his debut original production for the label and it feels like the perfect fit. ‘Love You Day One’ is pure, unmistakable Atjazz - warm chords, fluid basslines, and that rolling, emotionally-charged groove that hits somewhere between the heart and the hips. Next up we have new blood and serious weight. Blue Method channels Swiss precision and Cameroonian rhythm into ‘Agora’ - a deep, emotive burner with a powerful lift that will ignite South African floors. Hypnotic, elegant, and quietly explosive. With her London roots and Lisbon energy, Megatronic continues her ascent with ‘Questions’ featuring Belgian Mona Lee’s smoky, introspective vocal weaving through textured drums and late-night synth work. Soulful but searching - a track that lingers long after the lights come up. Flipping over we welcome back Andre Lodemann with a track entitled ‘For Those Who Care’. Lodemann delivers one of his most reflective pieces to date - stripped emotion, deep atmospheres, and a groove that breathes. Electronic music with genuine soul, for those tuned in. Another lead figure in Freerange's history, Manuel Tur locks into a lean, synth-driven rhythm track that speaks in low frequencies and late hours. ‘Key Race Alert’ is minimal but loaded and built for heads-down moments - the kind of cut you might catch Ben UFO or Gerd Janson dropping in their sets. Manchester producer James Kumo closes the EP with an expansive, dub-tinged journey entitled ‘Jazz Dimensions’. Loose, expressive, and deeply rooted in the lineage of Ron Trent-style house. Improvisational energy meets dancefloor intent. A1. AtJazz - Love You Day One A2. Blue Method - Agora A3. Megatronic ft. Mona Lee - Questions B1. Andre Lodemann - For Those Who Care B2.
