belonging is set to unveil Finding Home Vol. 2 on November 13th, marking the next chapter in its series that showcases the label’s expanding artist roster. This compilation follows the initial Finding Home release, presenting a fresh cross-section of the sounds emerging from this innovative imprint.
Expanding the Concept of Belonging
The first volume of the series established a solid foundation, while Vol. 2 further develops the idea of belonging. The label now resembles a more informal network of artists united by a shared aesthetic, despite varied individual styles. Central to this series is the notion of “home” shaped by people and creative collaboration, broadening the community rather than constraining it.
Diverse Tracklist Featuring New Artists
The compilation features a total of 12 tracks by an array of artists, including YOUNA & BARIŞ BERBER, Carl Bee, Mia Mendi, Skuro & Blake Light, George Z, BOg, ANII, Glowal & DISH DASH, Arude, Losless, MANTi, Clér Letiv & Vaderat, and Sioma. While some names will resonate with followers of the label’s recent singles, others represent fresh faces in the belonging lineup.
Tracks Tested on the Dancefloor
A significant portion of the music has been played in live settings prior to the official release. Notably, Innellea has been incorporating numerous tracks from the compilation into his sets over the past few months, with several songs becoming popular highlights in larger performances. This pre-release exposure serves to vet the material against real-world dancefloor reactions, adding depth to the compilation’s identity.
Crafting a Unique Identity
Rather than being a mere collection focused solely on theoretical cohesion, Finding Home Vol. 2 encapsulates sounds that have already proven effective in club environments and at festivals associated with the belonging movement. It presents a variety of contemporary club and melodic house styles, steering clear of a singular genre path.
Over recent years, Innellea has established belonging as a prominent label in the realms of melodic house and techno, functioning both as a release platform and a creative collective for its artists. The upcoming release aims to introduce newer talent while also showcasing returning contributors, reinforcing the innovative spirit of the label.
Finding Home Vol. 2 will be available on the belonging label. Streaming options are accessible below.
