Progressive pioneer Luke Chable has progressive, melodic music running through his veins and joins forces with the super talented Dan Mangan for the remix after the success of their 'Melburn' rework for Bedrock, delivering euphoric club dynamite with a real yearning melancholic sound and a nod to the old skool progressive trance scene of the 90’s made famous by names like Oliver Lieb, Humate and Superstition records.  This could revive the genre. It's that good!!

Heavy support from the best in the game:  Above & Beyond, Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Dave Seaman, Anthony Pappa, Jody Wisternoff, Eelke Kleijn, Sasha Carassi, Gai Barone, Framewerk, Guy J, Kasper Koman, John Digweed, this emerged as one of the underground anthems of ADE 2022 played at closing sets and key moments at many flagship events (Seladoria, Sudbeat, AnjunaDeep, Hernan Cattaneo & Nick Warren B2B all day flagship annual events). Radio support includes Selador Session, Radio therapy, Transitions (John Digweed) and Group Therapy (Above & Beyond).

“'Apollo Vibes' marked the beginning of a fantastic adventure within the Bedrock label. Having the privilege and honor to open with what is universally regarded as one of finest mixed compilations, the ‘Los Angeles' from John Digweed, was also a milestone for us. 20 years later to see a reissue of this track with excellent remixes is a great pleasure for us and the opportunity to share it again with you with new perceptions.” Pole Folder

Bedrock are proud to return to an absolute seminal classic. One of the biggest prog anthems from the turn of the century: ‘Apollo Vibes’ from Pole Folder & CP. Iconic in every sense, it captures everything that was exciting and innovative about progressive house in the late 90s/early 2000s. 

20 years later its timelessness is celebrated by an all-star cast of remixers. Recruited by label founder John Digweed for their strong sense of melodic and love for cosmic grooves, each act brings a whole new twist the space-bound original. Petar Dundov adds a whole new rocket booster as a vital new top line emerges into the mix, giving the trip a whole new sense of navigation. 

Next-up is another label family member Tara Brook with a take that stays true to the original. Digging deep into Pole Folder & CP’s iconic bass pulsations, she ups the tempo and adds a contemporary sense of energy while paying full respect to the blueprint. 

Finally Phi Phi and Manu Riga’s new Kayinda project makes its Bedrock debut with an exciting subverted conclusion. Lowering the tempo for a deep, sexy, swinging groove, once again the elements of the original are all in place but the arrangement, flow and focus bring it fully into the future… Ensuring Pole Folder & CP’s exemplary original lives on and mesmerises dancefloors for another 20 years. 

Complete with the original, in all its 11 minute glory, there’s plenty of rocket fuel left on this one. Ready for take off?

About the release
In this ever-more saturated, fast moving music marketplace, a track needs to be pretty damn special to not only break through, but then have a shelf life. Here at Selador, we're delighted to say that 'Playground' by Folgar, featuring an unforgettable vocal performance from Paula Os, has hit that particular jackpot.
And when the message came through from the man himself in Argentina that there was a tubthumper of a breaks mix lurking in the vaults itching to be unleashed (all crunching beats, shimmering synths and ethereal vocal snatches), it was all systems go for a full fat four track package.

PREMIERE: Folgar, Paula Os - Playground (Breaks Mix) | Selador

'Rich Curtis has been at the vanguard of the underground dance scene for over 15 years as DJ, promoter and producer. Now, he makes his debut on Balance Music with the 'Baby Raver' EP featuring a pair of standout remixes coming from a fellow Australian and an Argentinean heavyweight. 

With a portfolio of production credits to rival the most seasoned performer, Rich Curtis’ work for the likes of Cid Inc.’s Replug, John 00 Fleming’s JOOF Recordings and Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat Music is testament to the Australian’s standing within the dance fraternity. Now hitting the heights on Balance Music, 'Baby Raver' is a chunky rhythmic powerhouse that revolves around a tight percussive groove and hefty bass groove, in two variations. A relentless, timeless intensity flows through the 'All Tears Edition' with its liberal sprinkling of stereo-panned effects, pausing for breath at an atmospheric, effects-laden breakdown. Subtle melodic flourishes flow through the 'Dry Face Edition' as gently pulsating pads and eerily evolving soundscapes provide additional layers of intrigue and dancefloor depth. The sublimely captivating 'Two Sides to Every Cockroach' is a beatless gem of emotive phrasing and counterpoint melody that flows easily across its 4-minute duration. Making its mark in the latter stages with a bassline growl, the track shows Rich Curtis as a potent sound designer with a flair for the dramatic film score. 

Jamie Stevens needs little introduction to the Balance Music faithful, along with Selador, Lost & Found and Bedrock have all played host to Jamie’s music while 2022 has already seen a pair of outstanding EPs on Balance through ‘Exatique' and ‘Becoming', with fellow countryman, GMJ. Now returning, the Jamie Stevens remix of 'Baby Raver' is a deep and driving affair that revels in a rolling percussive groove and chest-thumping kick that provides the perfect anchor for its flowing melodic lines. Taking elements from the original and evolving them into unique new passages that make their presence felt at the mid-point breakdown, Stevens’ remix reaches a rousing crescendo in the final movement as rhythm and melody combine to devastating effect. 

The Mike Griego remix is a powerhouse of deep kick and subtly pitched percussive motif. Adding the flowing pads and melodic phrasing from the original creates an almost tribal backdrop that coruscates across the stereo spectrum with ease. Generating a plethora of sonic textures and fizzing effects, delayed-infused vocal cuts and a rippling arpeggio open up at the breakdown before dropping back into the powerful rhythmic collage in a true ‘hands-in-the-air’ moment where all elements combine to devastating effect.'

'And lo, as they traversed the globe in search of only the very finest in electronic music to set the pulses racing, the Selador pleasure seekers found themselves in Sweden. And here they happened upon Floormagnet, a Stockholm-based collective, huddled round an imposing bank of synths, hammering out a tune so addictive that there was no other option than to sign it on the spot. 

But hark, what sensuous sorcery is this drifting into our ears from across the city? Why, ‘tis only our long-time friend Zoo Brazil, he of Seladorian classics ‘Thunderstorm’ and ‘Across My Heart’ fame. 

“Hey Zoo, what’s this aural brew you cookin’ up?” 
“ I’m just doing a lil’ re-rub of ‘Laura’, a most bodacious new tune from my Scandi pals Floormagnet.” 
“Wait. What?! Hold up Zoo – we’ve just signed that!” 
“Serendipity. Fate. Karma. Call it what you will my friends but here’s my remix, hope you like it!” 

Back in Blighty, frazzled but happy, the seekers are on a mission. The hypnotic original version and pulsating ZB interpretation need a bedfellow to complete the hat trick. A certain someone who can imbue the spirit of the track but with a deep, dreamy je ne sais quoi. Enter stage left, right on cue – why it’s only Circulation! 

Mission accomplished. SEL 164 complete. No half measures. 

Whoever Laura is, she’s a lucky girl!...'
