Freerange Records has officially reached the finish line of its milestone anniversary celebrations with the release of 30 Years Of Freerange Vol. 5. This final installment serves as the capstone to a five-part series, offering a curated selection of six exclusive tracks that traverse the landscapes of soulful grooves, deep house, and club-oriented production.
The EP kicks off with "What U R" by label stalwart Jimpster, a track defined by its driving percussion and resonant bass work. The collection also highlights fresh talent, including the debut of Last Nubian and Tommy Rawson on the label. Their collaboration, "Magic," recruits vocalist Redbird to lean into the rich tradition of London’s soulful house sound.
Crackazat brings a distinct energy to the project with "Groove Again," a composition that leans into funk-driven synthesizers and a prominent Moog bassline, complemented by his own vocal performance. Meanwhile, Toronto-based artist Reagan Grey makes her first appearance on the imprint with "Sidewalks," an exercise in stripped-back, hypnotic deep house.
The release further broadens its scope with Simbad’s "This Joint," which features the rhythmic contributions and vocals of Detroit’s own Andrés. Closing out the project is a collaborative effort from Canadian artists Toronto Hustle and Sean Roman, titled "Unconscious Therapy (The Dancer)," which focuses on a steady, rolling groove.
With this fifth volume, Freerange Records successfully rounds out a massive catalog of 30 exclusive tracks released across their anniversary series. To commemorate this legacy, the label has announced plans to compile the entire set into a comprehensive boxset, expected to arrive in November 2026.
