20 Years of BM - Anniversary Vinyl Box Set

For two decades, Bondage-Music has stood for timeless underground house music, consistently shaping its own path through deep grooves, warm textures, and uncompromising dancefloor aesthetics. Founded with a clear artistic vision and an enduring passion for vinyl culture, the label has grown into an internationally respected platform for forward-thinking electronic music while always staying true to its roots.
To celebrate its 20-year anniversary, Bondage-Music proudly presents a strictly limited collector's edition that captures the spirit, sound, and evolution of the label across two remarkable decades.
20 Years of BM brings together 20 exclusive tracks by artists who have played an essential role in the label's journey, alongside close friends and longtime companions of the BM universe. Carefully curated across five heavyweight vinyl records, the compilation reflects the musical identity that has defined Bondage-Music since day one: deep, soulful, dub-infused, and emotionally driven house music designed for both intimate listening and late-night dancefloors.
The anniversary box features exclusive contributions from artists such as Roger Gerressen, Sascha Dive, Mihai Popoviciu, Steve Bug, NTFO, Markus Homm, Tuccillo, Politics Of Dancing, Rhadow, Andre Kronert, and many more - representing different generations and shades of the Bondage-Music sound.
Pressed on heavyweight 180g vinyl, each record is housed in an individual printed sleeve and presented inside a specially designed colored collector's box with refined spot lacquer finish. The visual identity of the anniversary edition was created by Pete Bombart - BM's longtime Head of Artwork, close friend, and an integral part of the label since its early days. His unmistakable artistic language has become deeply connected to the Bondage-Music universe over the years, building a loyal following that extends far beyond the music itself.
Strictly limited to only 400 hand-numbered copies worldwide, the release also includes an exclusive BM bag, poster, and sticker set created specifically for this anniversary edition. More than a compilation, 20 Years of BM is a reflection of the label's history, community, and enduring dedication to underground electronic music culture. 20 tracks for 20 years - available exclusively on vinyl.
Twenty years later, the journey continues - driven by passion, friendship, and a shared love for timeless electronic music.

With a career spanning over a decade and with releases on numerous influential labels such as 8Bit to Berg Audio, Popoviciu has firmly established himself as a go-to within the minimal-leaning realms of house music. Known for intricate soundscapes and deep, hypnotic grooves, his work continues to captivate audiences globally. On 'Puzzle Box', he delves deeper into his signature stripped-back yet soulful aesthetic, offering a diverse collection of tracks that traverse through various sonic textures.

"With Puzzle Box, each track unlocks something deeper with every listen" - Mihai Popoviciu.

Consisting of thirteen tracks in total, 'Puzzle Box' showcases the Romanian's sound to its fullest. On the vinyl edition, fans are treated to standout tracks like 'Batiscaf', 'Storm Rider', and 'Far Gone' - vinyl-only gems that capture Popoviciu's talent for layering subtle, dubby tones with groovy rhythms. The opening track, 'They All Say', sets the mood with smooth, atmospheric beats with a skippy groove, followed by the dynamic "Video" and the driving, pulsating energy of "Frankfurt."

Popoviciu's skill in crafting versatile productions is showcased throughout the album, with each track offering something unique.
From the sleek, melodic strains of 'Puzzle Box' to the hypnotic, rolling basslines of 'Kinetic', this LP is a journey into his meticulously constructed sound. The digital version also features the bonus track 'Body Count 2', offering a final, rhythmic flourish to round off the release.
'Puzzle Box' further cements Mihai Popoviciu's role as a mainstay on Bondage Music, a label which continues to champion forward-thinking, minimal-leaning house music. With this latest LP, Popoviciu once again proves why he remains a favourite, building on his storied career with another masterclass in refined, deep electronic music.

Steve Bug and Pornbugs team up on Behind The Glass / On The Swing with remixes from Mihai Popoviciu and Markus Homm.

Unsung House hero, Steve Bug has been there and done it all. Arguably Germany's most important pioneer, his label Poker Flat has been an epoch-defining imprint. Celebrating 20
years of Bondage Pornbugs are mixing in different circles with recent releases for Selador and Acker Dub, showcasing their crossover appeal with a new generation of DJs.

Opening with 'On The Swing' we are delighted by classic deep vibes with a modern twist. Grooevsome and warm, this will get the floor going anywhere in the world. On remix duties,
Mihai Popoviciu drops his trademark style, smoothing out the bumps for a deeper ride.

Next up, 'Behind The Glass' takes a similar path. Soulful warmth exudes from the speakers as the bumpy bass and echoing keys mark time. Reaching a crescendo with muted acid
undertones in the second half keeps attention high and the dancefloor full and happy. For his remix, Markus Homm takes it deeper with shades of Detroit. Liquid cool for the later floors.
