A milestone in the national electronic scene
The record label Certain Music, led by the artist Jose Gonzalez under his alias Certain People, commemorates more than a decade of uninterrupted trajectory in the electronic ecosystem. After having organized more than forty club sessions throughout Spanish geography and releasing nine cult vinyl references, the label has decided to materialize its tenth anniversary with a monumental release. This July 2026, the label officially presents 10 Years of Certain Music, a compilation album in double vinyl format (2x12") that perfectly encapsulates the sonic essence and underground philosophy that has defined the brand since its inception. Far from being a simple compendium of greatest hits, this project stands as an X-ray of the label's current moment and a firm statement of where its sound is heading.
Anatomy of a compilation designed for the club
Cataloged under the reference CMR010, this new record work is a precision tool aimed at both demanding track selectors and vinyl collectors. The compilation navigates with skill between the hypnotic rhythms of deep house, the organic groove of tech house, and the euphoric brushstrokes of classic-cut italo house. The record brings together ten completely unreleased tracks produced by artists who, throughout these ten years, have shared the booth, backstage, and dance floors with the platform's founders. The curation of the tracklist reflects a network of international connections, uniting emerging talents and consolidated figures of the global electronic scene in the same groove.
- Paramida & E-Talking open the sonic spectrum with the deep and spatial track "New Moon".
- Fantastic Man provides a palette of purely italo-house textures in the vibrant "Marine Layer".
- Baldo injects a dose of acid nostalgia and impeccable broken rhythms with "New Dance".
- Secretsundaze & Certain People join forces in the studio to sign the dancefloor-oriented and nocturnal "Baby G".
- Reflex Blue, Voodoos & Taboos, Man/ipulate, Emi Koto & Laia, and Reformed Society complete a seamless selection, contributing everything from breaks to intergalactic synthesis.
10 Years of Certain Music is a special compilation that brings together 10 tracks from artists who became part of our journey through the years. Contemporary club music: rooted in respect for the past, totally focused on the present, and driven by a vision towards the future.

The impact of independent curation today
The physical edition of this majestic work underscores the label's unwavering commitment to acoustic quality and the traditional analog format. In a contemporary music industry heavily dominated by the immediacy of streaming and ephemeral algorithms, betting on an expensive double vinyl pressing demonstrates absolute fidelity to the most purist club culture. Each groove of 10 Years of Certain Music is designed to stand the test of time, offering DJs timeless tools that work just as well in a dense warm-up as at the peak of the night's boiling point.
The productions included in this volume not only pay homage to the foundational roots of house, but also project a mature and constantly evolving sonic identity. This release consolidates Certain Music not just as a simple music publishing platform, but as an authentic creative family with a coherent narrative. With this tenth reference, the label leaves an indelible mark on the European landscape, demonstrating that the passion for cutting-edge electronic music, when managed with dedication and respect for the community, always finds its place in the record bags of the best selectors in the world.
