With Unreleased Records’ rapidly growing influence—bolstered by its recently-announced long-term partnership with Armada Music, the world’s biggest independent dance music label—Arodes saw an opportunity to further champion rising artists who are shaping the underground electronic music scene. The compilation series serves as an outlet for the music of artists performing at Unreleased events, especially those emerging as the next stars in the scene.

“This compilation series is mainly dedicated to putting out the amazing work of artists who drive Unreleased events forward, giving them a platform for the recorded side of their work,” says Arodes, founder of Unreleased. “It’s about building a community of artists who share a passion for pushing the boundaries of sound, offering them the freedom to explore their own corner of electronic music.”

The first edition of Game Changers marks the start of an exciting year ahead for the brand, with a collaborative event with Zamna Festival as part of Miami Music Week, and their own debut festival in Mendoza, Argentina. This follows the label’s recent milestone achievements, including securing residencies at two of the Mediterranean’s most iconic party destinations—Void Club in Mykonos and Playa Soleil in Ibiza—solidifying Unreleased Records’ presence in the global electronic music scene.
