What, exactly, is a selector? Dekmantel has long been determined to find out, even before the Amsterdam-based crew added an official Selectors stage to its annual summer festival in 2014. While the stage has since played host to an elite class of DJs that includes the likes of Floating Points, Mike Servito, Traxx, DJ Harvey, Ben UFO, and Donato Dozzy, to name just a few, Dekmantel came to realize that the Selectors concept needed a larger platform of its own.

As such, 2016 will see the launch of both a limited-capacity capacity festival and compilation series, both bearing the Selectors name. The compilations will come first, with Motor City Drum Ensemble, Young Marco, and Joy Orbison at the helm of the initial three chapters. These are not mix CDs; every Selectors compilation will include a collection of hand-picked, unmixed tracks personally curated by the artist.

Admittedly, drawing a line between "selectors" and mere DJs is an all-but-impossible task—it's essentially a "you know it when you see it" proposition—but it's hard to argue that Motor City Drum Ensemble (a.k.a. Danilo Plessow) doesn't tick all of the required boxes. He's been digging for records since his teenage years, and his DJing has become the stuff of legend, thanks in no small part to his head-turning sets at the last few Dekmantel festivals.

In truth, Plessow's relationship with Dekmantel dates back to the earliest days of the Motor City Drum Ensemble project, making him a natural candidate to head up the inaugural Selectors compilation. As expected, he's thrown himself into the task; selecting a want list from his collection of 15,000 records was no easy task, but getting permission for the final tracklist was even tougher.

One song in particular, Raphael Green's "Don't Mess with the Devil," required him to personally call up a church in St. Louis, Missouri. "The guy, he's a Bishop," he says. "When the Ferguson protests were happening, for example, he was on CNN explaining his thoughts on the whole thing, so he's a known public figure, but nobody really knew that he had this amazing record that was recorded in '79 or '80. His voice is just unbelievable. It's the kind of record that when I heard it the first time, I couldn't believe that there had only been like 100 copies pressed, and that this wasn't actually big."

Motor City Drum Ensemble's record bag is full of these kinds of gems, but he has no qualms about sharing a few of his secret weapons with a wider audience. "I wanted to get some of the stuff that is really, really hard to get, and make it available for younger people," he explains. "I used to be in the same situation. Back when I was 18, I would listen to a Rainer Truby mix and he would only play these $400 Brazilian records. I was like, 'Fuck, how am I ever going to be able to afford these?' I was glad when there was a reissue, and it's a bit the same with the compilation now." 

"Basically," he explains, "the approach for the compilation was, 'If I walked into a record store, what kind of compilation would I buy?' That's what I did."

Motor City Drum Ensemble's Selectors will be released in March 2016 on double vinyl, and CD formats.

Banoffee Pies Records release their 8th addition to the original imprint with 4 drum ridden tracks from Bristol local Gallegos with his debut solo EP, “Mad As Hell”. As the leaders pull us towards the abyss, behind the door through which we cannot see. Into a landscape we cannot predict. Inside the realm of those we cannot control. We shout from the rooftops. This is as “Mad As Hell” and i’m not going to take it anymore. As the days and months roll on, the media repeats, the calendar clicks, and the unknown future drags itself ever closer, we question why we are here. Maybe after all it is time to move forward, the next destination, to find our “Beach Feet”. To swim against the current and paddle away. To find firmer ground. To “Be Who You Want To Be”. Tick tick goes the clock, pressure mounts. After all. Times are hard. “England Is A Bitch.” BP x

PREMIERE: Gallegos - Beach Feet [Banoffee Pies Records]

Australia based Canadian, A Most Wanted Man is up next for Flat White, with the Leicester label sticking to their mould of supporting lesser known/upcoming artists. They've wangled legend Jacques Renault in for a remix who has done his usual masterful re-touching. Trimming the fat so to speak and running it through his NYC filter to give it that tasty, gritty edge.

Artist: @amostwantedman
Remixer: @jacquesrenault
Label: @flatwhiterecords

SB PREMIERE: A Most Wanted Man - Meander On Carlisle (Jacques Renault Remix) [Flat White Records]

The initial track "Souvlaki Sensation" is a sleazy and drippin' balearic dub track filled with cumbrous snare drums, woozy echo chords, a surreptitious phone-like top melody and an echoing bass line.

From Mythos (Μύθος) [BLÅSTUD001], released July 11, 2020
Produced by Ari Bald at Blåklint Studios.

Sublime stuff here from UK gear-head (by which we mean he loves hardware) NY*AK (@scotty5000)'s 'Afghan Jams' EP on @city-fly, which comes backed with remixes from the mighty Mark Hand and Ian Blevins. Thumping kicks and techno cymbal rides belie the sweet nature of this track, which centres around a glorious string sample and dreamy female soul vocals. Taut percussive rhythms fill in the gaps around pleasingly ploddy bass and urgent snare hits.
