Founded in the early 2000s by DJ and producer CN Williams, ReelHouse Records began life as a vinyl-only house imprint before evolving into a respected label known for its dancefloor-focused releases. While house music remains at its core, the label’s catalogue has expanded to include disco, funk and soul influences. Over the years, ReelHouse has released music from a wide range of established artists and emerging talent, building a loyal global audience while maintaining a clear identity and community-led ethos.
In recent years, ReelHouse Records has strengthened its presence in the UAE through releases, showcases and events, aligning with the region’s rapidly developing club culture. As an MN2S Label Services client, the label continues to focus on sustainable growth, catalogue development and long-term artist relationships. The nomination for Best Local Record Label marks an important milestone, acknowledging ReelHouse’s ongoing impact within the local scene while strengthening its broader international reputation. Voting for the Mixmag UAE Nightlife Awards 2026 is now open, giving music fans and industry insiders the opportunity to support the labels and individuals shaping nightlife across the Emirates.
