Label: Fina Records

Celebrating the five year anniversary one of the most consistent British house labels of recent memory, FINA Refill 001 is a new unmixed compilation consisting of 15 of FINA’s finest records, including tracks and remixes from Move D, Powel, Leif, Rick Wade, Mic Newman and more.
Established in 2011, in just five short years FINA has become one of the most essential and respected house imprints of its time. Originally an offshoot of Ralph Lawson’s 2020 Vision, FINA is now under the sole ownership of Leeds DJ producer Simon Morell and Ibiza resident and DJ Juan Corbi.
Setting its distinctive stall out from the very first release – the shimmering deep house of ‘Live East, Die Young’ from a then relatively unknown Mic Newman – FINA’s releases possess that extra morsel of quality that makes them shine just that little bit brighter, with FINA Refill 001 standing as a fitting musical testament to the label’s impressive catalogue.
More musical than your average house records, here you’ll find gems such as Rick Wade’s ‘Sweet Life’, Powel’s ‘Cloud City’ and Move D’s exquisite remix of Leif’s ‘So Long’: the slowing tempos and intricate melodies of these records belying FINA’s absolute indifference to following the bassline-focussed bandwagon-jumping of many of its contemporaries.
