With recent releases under his belt on the likes of Knee Deep In Sound, Kraftek & Saved plus a residency at Mambo Ibiza that spans more than a decade, Dee Montero should be a familiar name, but just in case he's somehow managed to escape your attention, please allow us to bring you right up to speed with the Fugazi EP. 

This is the Northern Irishman's second appearance on Selador, and he returns with an impressive 3 tracker that not only showcases his versatility and range but also a technical prowess honed from over 15 years in the business.

Remixes come courtesy of Italian production legend Alex Neri and budding Romanian star, BOg. 

It's another blue chip collection for all occasions. A premier league package Selador Style. All killer, no filler. Natch. x

Pre-order the album 'Aforger' out October 14th on LP/CD/DL here: http://phonofile.link/aforger

In a digital age where memories are mimicked by pixels and identity is as malleable as static, Douglas Dare’s new album Aforger questions the boundaries between reality and fiction. 

Inspired by recent events and revelations encountered in his life these songs depict Dare at his most vulnerable, whilst simultaneously reflecting our own obsession with reality and technology back at us.  

Aforger was mixed at the iconic Abbey Road Studios and produced by long-time collaborator Fabian Prynn. In the following conversation Douglas strips back the personal journeys and realisations which preceded its recording.

In a conversation with Douglas Dare on July 11th 2016:

The album title plays with the idea of a forger – someone creating imitations or copies, and reimagines them as the creator of something that’s no longer real. Prior to writing the record, I came out to my father and came out of a long relationship, both were hugely challenging for me and questioned my idea of identity and reality. These thoughts leaked out into the record and formed the core of Aforger. I was determined not to write a break-up album or repeat what I’d done before..

I grew up on quite an isolated farm in Dorset, surrounded by fields and not much besides. My mother taught piano from home and we didn’t have a computer, or the internet or mobile phones. In fact, my family still chooses not to use these things. It’s worlds apart from my life now in London where technology seems to dominate everything I do.

After finding out my boyfriend had been leading this double-life, I became obsessed with the question of what is real and George Orwell’s 1984 felt appropriate for me to re-read. Orwell explains this idea of reality control and Doublethink, and it struck a chord with me. The idea that truth can be steered or changed, and we might be able to believe two contradictory things at once. In my case, ignorance was my protection from the truth and ignorance really is bliss, until you’re no longer ignorant.

Binary talks about the idea that technology is allowing us to live on after we’re gone. A relative of mine whose parent passed away kept a picture of them on their phone as a background image. A friend saw this and asked ‘how can you have that there to constantly remind you of your loss?’ They replied, ‘no I have to, it shows me that they’re still here’. This resonated with me and I thought ‘okay, this is just an image to me but to them it’s more than a reminder or a reassurance, it’s a reality’. At the same time, I was finding myself haunted by the digital reminder of my ex-partner and wishing they would disappear. I had to realise that it’s all just pixels on a screen. 

I think New York can be thought of as this fabricated, magical place. I was there with my boyfriend after touring the U.S., but when I came back to London I discovered all these lies and began questioning everything. I even questioned whether New York actually happened or not. New York is a song that’s literally describing that very real feeling of not knowing who or what to believe any more – scary and magical at the same time. 

Lyrically I wanted to be as honest as possible. The album deals with so much dishonesty, so I felt the lyrics had to be the counterbalance. I was inspired by Björk’s album Vulnicura and how everything is almost awkward in its honesty. Like my first album, Aforger started as poetry, but I consciously tried to be less poetic. For instance, Oh Father is an example of complete unambiguity. It’s certainly the most personal song I’ve put out there, and the realisation that people may hear it makes me feel very vulnerable. That’s the most real feeling of all for me right now.

Following the release of his debut album as Trevino earlier this year, Marcus ‘Intalex’ Kaye marks his first notch on the Hotflush bedpost with a plucky four-track EP, wearing all the stripes that an artist of his experience and versatility has earned.

Kaye’s four-to-the-floor productions as Trevino have always possessed a latent sheen from the dynamic world of drum and bass where he first made his name. Here it’s evident in the impeccably balanced mix of lead track, ‘Slide Away’, where forlorn melody is driven as much by bass as it is by liquid chords. The tempo is upped on ‘Mosaic’ - a techno record that follows an uplifting path - and on Desecrate it’s in fifth gear with a bass line that rolls and grows and bangs and rolls. The high-speed, echo chamber dub of ‘Jungle Love' rounds off an EP of notable range.

Juloboy - Open up Your Heart (Original Mix)

We continue our 2016 shenanigans on ICONYC with the highly creative triple-header from TD who marks his debut with his magnificent new single ‘Dreamed Up’ which has lit up dance floors world wide since it's limited promo release. Whether it's the deeply delicious uplifting melodies and dramatic strings of Dreamed Up, there can be no denying that TD is on a roll. His distinctive collaborative style and attention to detail marks him out as having unique creative talent. 

For the official full-length release we are treated to stunning reworks from Dofamine and London based Symmetry Obs. The Dofamine remix is a driven chunky gem that beautifully builds as warm pads raise the temperature and tease with melodies from the original and some clever FX cutting up, making this a serious dance floor moment, in true Dofamine style, confirming that he really can't do no wrong at the moment by delivering another stunning rework. Hot!

The second rework comes from Symmetry Obs which sounds like its been made specifically to close sets and send the dance floor in to a complete frenzy. Stunning is a good word to describe this epic remix. Symmetry Obs who is known for his deep take on progressive house delivers a true gem that finds the right balance between house and tech to make it an ideal all-round weapon. There's really not much else to say, we'll just let the music do the talking.

We are very excited to bring you another essential ICONYC release that should not be missed! TD’s – Dreamed UP will see the light of day exclusively via Beatport on September 12th, 2016.
