In celebration of their 15th anniversary, Ovum Recordings have put together Fifteen for Fifteen.
Since its inception in 1994, Ovum has put out dozens of records by some of house music’s most influential artists, including Aaron-Carl, DJ Pierre and label co-founders Josh Wink and King Britt. Fifteen for Fifteen focuses mostly on the label’s more recent output, with selections by KiNK, Gregor Tresher and Luca Bacchetti. Nonetheless, some older cuts have been included as well, such as “Klugh” by David Alvarado and “Track One” by Rulers of the Deep. The collection will be available as of today via digital download.

“Fifteen years speak for themselves … Ovum is certainly one of the most durable, eclectic and original labels on the scene, anticipating many fads and styles; but never letting itself be boxed into a specific category … every time just following the creative spark, instinct, which is how in music new developments are born. Without a doubt, being forever in ‘searching’ mode is something we have in common, together with a passion for what we do. ‘Caribbean,’ taken from my first EP, is one of my least complex tracks on Ovum, made-up of few sounds, a light hearted sequence with aquatic textures … imagine the party of a lifetime, your friends, a long beach and the tropical seas …” – Luca Bacchetti
On Ovum: “There’s nothing to say and yet so much to tell about it. I practically grew up with pizza, coffee and Ovum music. The label has been developing its sound over 15 years, covering most of the dance genre. What kept it all together has always been the quality !” – Davide Squillace
On Sukkin Mutik: “I guess you could call it funky techno, I don’t know though. I hate pigeonholing stuff. I’ve been producing since I was 20, so for ten years I’ve been making tracks. I get inspiration for tracks from the strangest of situations. The other day, I fell over and smashed my arm on the floor and it made a really cool sound. I thought ‘hey, that’s a cool sound, I should make it’, so I went in the studio and tried for ages to make a similar sound. I got there in the end, but it took a long time.” – Davide in a Beatport interview
