Refreshingly different yet comfortingly familiar... expect the unexpected from this promising French producer!

Magic Carpet celebrates 20 releases with a tour de force from close friend of the label Velvet Velour.

2026 Repress

Swin delights and surprises with this excellent EP featuring the anthemic “Stay At Home”. You could be forgiven for thinking that this record was produced by the leathery hands of a mature industry professional long-settled in the Ibizan sun, rather than by a friendly northern lad in Newcastle who vaguely remembers seeing sunshine when he was 6. Quality and range beyond his years - Swin is surely one to watch!

2026 Repress

Magic Carpet ring in the new year with a standout debut EP from English-born, Berlin-baked artist Jack D. With senses honed by days spent front left at clubs like Hoppetosse, Closer and Fold, Jack delivers four superb tracks bursting with energy and quirk. Somehow fusing wonk with groove, his style feels both strangely familiar and highly original at the same time. One for the heads!

Following a hotly tipped first instalment, the Family Trip series continues with a second VA RIDE19 featuring artists from the Magic Carpet family, celebrating five years of the label. In contrast to the first record, Disc 2 steers us into deeper, clubbier territory with bold basslines, chuggy goodness and mesmerising atmospherics. True to form, there’s an understated wild card on the B2, offering a transcendent cruise to the 5th dimension. Strap in!

Rising steadily out of obscurity since its launch in 2020, Magic Carpet has become a springboard for talent and an underground staple. Celebrating five years of magic, the label presents two VAs featuring a selection of artists from the Magic Carpet family. This first record (RIDE18) spans tingling euphoria, the grooved up and the blissed out, showcasing the housier end of the imprint’s hard-to-pin-down but unmistakably positive sound. Here’s to many more!

Four exotic dancefloor brews prescribed by the UK’s premier witch doctor a.k.a. Leeds lad Pete Melba. “He looks barking mad” you say? That may be true, but peer beyond the bone piercings and the smell of burnt tequila and you’ll glimpse that rare spark of genius some spend a lifetime chasing. These are the real deal. Drink up!

Plucky Londoner Kawaii San takes the Magic Carpet for a victory lap after bursting onto the scene in 2022. Graceful, uplifting breakdowns give way to infectious movement, conjuring joy from suspense and igniting propulsive energy for the dancefloor. And as if that wasn’t enough… there’s a dreamy mind-melter stashed away on the B2. Clearly the young grasshopper is well on his way to becoming a sensei.

“Special delivery for Magic Carpet!” quirky newcomer Lucho delivers a collection of mesmerising booty-shakers for the cult-label’s tenth release.

Following a head-turning debut on New York’s Decatur Records in 2021, this EP is brimming with luscious harmonies and generously proportioned basslines that would make your grandpa blush. Family friendly but suitably naughty – this record is the full package.
