Twenty years is a long time for a music label to last, especially in the ever-shifting world of electronic music. So when a label hits that milestone, you know it’s something special. That’s exactly the case with Lazy Days Recordings, the iconic House music label founded by Fred Everything back in 2005.
Born out of a desire for a creative playground, Lazy Days was never about chasing trends. Instead, it was about releasing timeless, classic House music with a focus on quality, community, and good vibes. Their very first release, “Friday,” a collaboration with 20for7 and Vanessa Baker, was a testament to that vision. It got rejected everywhere else but ended up becoming a massive summer anthem, proving that if you stick to your guns, good music will always find its way.
And boy, did it ever find its way. Over the past two decades, Lazy Days has been a beacon for soulful, classic House, releasing over 150 tracks from more than 100 artists. We’re talking legends like Atjazz, Shur-I-Kan, and Ian Pooley, all contributing to a sound that’s both distinctly their own and universally loved.
Now, to celebrate this epic journey, Fred Everything has curated “20 Years of Lazy Days,” a compilation of 20 tracks that tell the story of the label. This isn’t just a random collection of songs; it’s a carefully selected journey through the label’s evolution, showcasing the artists, collaborators, and fans who have made it all possible.
From the laid-back grooves to the peak-time anthems, this release is a perfect snapshot of why Lazy Days has been such a prominent and respected voice in House music. It’s a testament to the power of passion and a labor of love that’s given us two decades of incredible music.
The compilation is out now, so if you’re a fan of quality House music, you’ll want to dive in. You can check out the full story and tracklist on platforms like Traxsource and Bandcamp.
Here’s to another 20 years of lazy days and good tunes.
