VA - Rotation Sound System Presents Everything You’re About To Hear Is True Vol 1 (2025)

Leng Records proudly presents Everything Youre About to Hear Is True: Volume 1, a compilation carefully curated by Rotation Soundsystem. Brought together by Rotation founders Dean Meredith and Ben Shenton, alongside the Wrekin Havoc trio of Rob J, Stuart Robinson, and Rich Hall, this debut volume captures the collectives shared vision – shaped by decades of crate-digging. Founded in 2013, Rotation has grown from a modest gathering in Staffordshire into a thriving community of like-minded music lovers, attracting heads and partygoers from across the UK – and well beyond. What began as an intimate affair has evolved into a full-scale, three-day celebration, now held in a grand yurt and powered by a bespoke six-way sound system. The rig features four Klipschorns, two JBLs with twin 18 and 15 sub reinforcements, compression horns, and an Isonoe 420 mixer. Presented on gatefold double vinyl, this lovingly assembled collection is the result of decades spent digging through dusty crates, reflecting the selectors deep-rooted passion for uncovering rare gems and overlooked treasures. Decidedly European in spirit, the album brings together 14 rarities with standout selections from Belgium, Sweden, Italy, Germany, and France. The vast majority of tracks are true obscurities, and nearly every one is a mid-tempo bumper. This has been a long time coming – something weve always dreamed of doing. Were incredibly thankful to Leng Records, who understand our vision and what were trying to build. This compilation pulls together some of our favourite tracks from over the years. Its not just a playlist – its a journey, a window into the sound of Rotation, says Meredith. We spent 12 months securing licences – a true labour of love. Each track has been carefully selected and thoughtfully stitched together to tell a story.
