Unearthed Archives (2016–2020) is a curated reissue of key moments from the early years of Lay Down The Groove — a retrospective compilation revisiting some of the standout tracks that helped define the label’s first chapter.

Drawn from our catalog between 2016 and 2020, these five tracks have been carefully selected to reflect the spirit of that era: raw, exploratory, and deeply connected to the underground scenes across South America.

Featuring music from Andy Martin (MX), Gabriel Ferreira (AR), Braver (AR), Felipe Charret & Stupp (BR), and Junn (CO), the release captures a broad range of sounds — from deep, rolling grooves to more experimental club cuts — all tied together by a shared sense of rhythm and atmosphere.
