This weekend was something really special 😍

Three LRK releases got spins on Craig Charles Funk & Soul and were featured in Talcum Time, which celebrates the finest 60s soul-inspired releases set for 2026 🕺💃

Hearing Craig say this about the label was surreal:
💬 “A UK label making serious moves now”
💬 “A UK label establishing itself very well”

The tracks he played:
🎵 James Holvay – Sweet Soul Song (limited edition 45 vinyl up for preorder here — selling fast, get in quick!)
🎵 The 7:45s – I’ll Be Fine (special 45 coming later this year 😉)
🎵 Rory Hoy feat – Baby Don’t Leave Me (digital release 23rd Jan)

LRK has always been about releasing music we love, and seeing it celebrated on shows that champion soul means the world 🙏

A massive thanks to Craig Charles, the BBC 6 Music team, and all the incredible artists who make it possible ❤️🎶
