Forever Underground - 15 Years of NRK

from the press release:

As NRK head honcho Nick Harris moves ahead with a raft of new projects the time has come for the seminal label to close its doors and as a parting gift it leaves us ‘Forever Underground’ reminding us why Bristol’s house music heroes will always hold a place in dance music’s history…

Not many record labels can lay claim to a 15 year stretch, but NRK Music has been a consistent and trusted source of the finest deep house and tech house music for the last decade and a half. Set up in 1996 in Bristol, UK, NRK Music quickly delivered a hefty slew of releases from artists like Ian Pooley, François K, Dimitri From Paris and Nick Holder, and have never looked back since. But now with over 170 single releases and 45 albums, plus the mix compilation series Back In The Box, The Lab, nite:life and Deep Sensations, NRK is preparing to close its doors for the last time and as a parting gift is releasing the superb collection “Forever Underground”.

The digital version of the release contains 33 unmixed tracks and a DJ mix from Nick Harris. The physical release is a 3xCD set, with 2 unmixed CDs of music + the Nick Harris DJ mix on the 3rd CD.

This compilation brings back so many good memories for me, both on the dancefloor and in the DJ booth. I have long been a fan of NRK and a lot of the artists featured here. I wanted to give you audio clips of some of the outstanding classics that are a part of this final chapter for NRK. DJ Tronic and Dancefloor Mayhem want to wish Nick Harris all the best in all his future endeavors.
