VA - Territoires Vol3 (2024)

As we mark the milestone of POLAAR's 10th anniversary, we are thrilled to introduce you a brand new compilation that redefines our sonic territories and encapsulates the essence of our exploration in sound.

Driven by the desire of independence and their common passion for bass-fueled rhythms and experimental sounds, Flore and her mate Marc Weistroff decided to launch their label POLAAR ten years ago, with the ambition of shaping a unique Bass Music signature, as far as possible from any identification to the originating UK club scene. Since then, the Lyon-based imprint has been at the forefront of a musical revolution, championing diverse artists from all over the globe and pushing the limits of genre conventions through numerous events, live shows, radio appearances and releases.

All this efforts are embodied within the french word « Territoires », that is entitling each one of the label’s compilations until now and which can be defined as it follows : an expanse of land, more or less clearly delimited, which generally presents a certain unity, a particular character.

Territoires Vol.3 is a collective effort with which we have asked our label core members and a few invited artists to work on a remix of a tune taken from the POLAAR’s back catalog. It is a way to pay tribute to various releases we think are still fresh and relevant, and thus create bridges between our past and present as a sonic community and ever evolving label. A way to showcase the depth and diversity of our musical vision, without rut of styles or BPM.
