When we look back in time, it seems like yesterday when we started having clandestine parties in the backyard of an old house or illegal raves in public parks in Buenos Aires. Today, a decade later, Playground has established itself as a respected squad based in Barcelona, a record label with a strong back catalog of over 50 releases, and a family of artists spanning the globe.

10 years have passed since this beautiful adventure started and we want to celebrate it as we like best… Dancing.
Get ready because the celebration plan will be huge!
We will be holding parties in different cities around the world, and following the path started by the launch of 9 years, we present a new compilation with a line up full of great artists and dear friends who faithfully represent our history and our present... https://soundcloud.com/lauerofficial , https://soundcloud.com/the-juan-maclean , https://soundcloud.com/manpower-1 , https://soundcloud.com/rodion_gomma & https://soundcloud.com/mammarella feat https://soundcloud.com/hugosanchez , https://soundcloud.com/elfenberg , https://soundcloud.com/anatolianweapons , https://soundcloud.com/roedeers , https://soundcloud.com/zillasonacid , https://soundcloud.com/corneliusdoctor & https://soundcloud.com/tushen_rai , https://soundcloud.com/balamok , https://soundcloud.com/beatfoot & https://soundcloud.com/geopardtourist , https://soundcloud.com/deuxcontrol , https://soundcloud.com/alvarocabana & https://soundcloud.com/jackwasfaster ,  https://soundcloud.com/jasonjppeters , https://soundcloud.com/musicbydella & https://soundcloud.com/martin-noise , https://soundcloud.com/mishellmusik feat https://soundcloud.com/nvongold ,  https://soundcloud.com/nahuel-galaxx & https://soundcloud.com/kuunde , https://soundcloud.com/marzianmusic & https://soundcloud.com/ricardo-ruben , https://soundcloud.com/johnparsley , https://soundcloud.com/neskeh_41 ...

PREMIERE - Danse Alice - Petit Monde (Each Other Remix) (Newday Everyday)

A flock of birds took flight across the sky, dipping and weaving in unison until they were out of sight beyond the cliffs. The terrain was bold and colourful; huge towering green trees shot up into the heavens, below a flowing stream of clear blue water meandered through various species of flowers and chattering insects. The sheer expanse of this landscape took his breath away, it was a far cry from the cityscapes he knew so well. It remained untouched by human hands, not tampered with for commercial gain - here nature was in charge. 

Up next on non-profit label Sinchi it's a close member of the collective's family, Hary Shanthi. Marking his second release on the label, following 2021's Sivapuranam (​ச​ி​வ​ப​ு​ர​ா​ண​ம​்​), this new single 'Urumi' is another window into the psyche of a deep thinking, technically skilled producer. The slowly unfurling opus, which is peppered with hypnotic acid lines, synth leads and percussion is a homage to his Indian culture and '"the non-dualistic nature" of Kashmir Shaivism, a philosophical system that emerged in India around the 12th Century'. It comes complete with remixes from MR TC and Tushen Raï and, as always, all money from sales will be donated to the Sinchi Foundation which supports indigenous people across the world.

Tel Aviv multi-instrumentalist Alek Lee makes his Playground debut with a lysergic and immersive work destined to expand your senses.

An Ep that invites us to look with different eyes at the reality that surrounds us and to fly through the beautiful soundscapes that it proposes. A true psychedelic journey through consciousness enriched by a classy disco touch from the unbeatable Prins Thomas.

As our dear William used to say… Your mind will answer most questions if you learn to relax and wait for the answer.

So... free the hippie in you and turn up the volume!

PREMIERE: Nick Hanzo & A-Tweed - Khwan [Play Pal Music]

"I was dancing when I was out, I was dancing when I was in. Is it strange to dance so late? Is it strange to dance so soon? Cosmic dancers always ball. Dancing with themselves, dancing space away. Right into the smallest hole a human brain can create: the inner cosmos, a psychedelic region, where time gets space and space turns to haze."

Well versed in the traditions of Berlin School and Krautrock, producer TM Solver knows a thing or two about taking listeners on a journey, or more precisely, ushering them into new musical spaces they might not have explored before. 

Having built an impressive catalogue of long players over the last 15 years, primarily for long-standing affiliates Syngate and its offshoot Luna, he now opens his psychedelic world to Berlin-based label R.i.O for a four-track EP titled Subtraktiv Additiv. With his haul of analog synthesizers he fashions a collection of absorbing rhythmic deviations that, on the flip, are twisted and morphed into new forms by a strong cast of remixers: Benedikt Frey, Mayo, O-Wells, Sunju Hargun and Red Axes.
