Hard to believe we’re on volume 5 of the annual Razor-N-Tape Family Affair compilation, but time flies when the RNT fam is having fun!
As always, it’s a wide-ranging collection of vibes and grooves from the extended international Razor-N-Tape network. This year’s vinyl sampler includes both label newcomers and veterans across six tracks.
Recloose, Medlar & Daisybelle, Misiu, Saucy Lady, Anoraak, and Marina Trench deliver in their respective signature styles, taking us on a genre-bending tour of sounds. From House to Disco, Dub to Breaks, and Chuggers to Pumpers, there’s a bit of something for everyone here—fun for the whole family!

Dino Lenny debuts on Radio Slave’s Rekids with ‘Not About The Volume’ on 5th December 2025 alongside a remix from label regular Tiger Stripes. Active for over three decades, Italian/UK DJ, producer, singer, and Fine Human Records label owner Dino Lenny has released on R&S, Diynamic, Innervisions, and Bedrock, while working with artists such as Underworld, Missy Elliott, Wu-Tang Clan, and Madonna on remixes and collaborations. Since 2021, he’s hosted Tomorrowland’s Core, the festival’s alternative electronic stage's radio show, which has featured Nina Kraviz, Ellen Allien, DJ Tennis, and more.

Lenny’s ‘Not About The Volume’ boasts a loopy groove that forms the base for impactful, jazz-inflected hits, and at the centre, a quirky, party-starting vocal that’s sure to cement itself in the minds of the dancefloor. Tiger Stripes reworks ‘Not About The Volume’ with a fresh new bassline, quicker drums, and amplified synth elements for a more hypnotic take on yet another Rekids anthem.

“I just wanted to make for once something really simple and fun. A track that made me smile but also reminded me the reason why I started playing records 40 years ago. 'Not About The Volume’ has a lot of late 80/90 vibes floating in the mix. I still think those were the most creative & innovative days for electronic music.” - Dino Lenny
