Solid Grooves unveil their 2022 'Ibiza Sampler' as Michael Bibi and PAWSA invite seven of the label's residents and regulars for a huge summer offering.

2022 is shaping up to be a year to remember for Solid Grooves as they celebrate ten years in style with a host of stand-out shows, including OFF Sonar and Kappa Futur, alongside recent appearances at Space Miami, Fabric and Printworks.

However, the crown jewel in the programming undeniably comes via their biggest Ibiza season to date. With a move to renowned institution DC10 backed by lineups stacked full of talent, the collective only adds to things on the label front as they reveal their latest summer compilation. Opening the season in style, the nine-track 'Ibiza Sampler' welcomes the arrival of a stacked V/A with fresh heat from close friends and ever-impressing regulars.

In usual fashion, co-founders Michael Bibi and PAWSA contribute a pair of heavily-requested signature cuts, alongside peak-time and after-hours anthems from residents Dennis Cruz, Eddy M, Reelow, Ramin Rezaie and Bassel Darwish, plus label signees Classmatic and JUST2.

He’s back! Franky Rizardo returns to Joris Voorn & Edwin Oosterwal’s Rejected for another short, sharp shot of absolute party pleasure. His second bomb on the label this year, it comes hot on the heels of ‘Rave Machine’... Literally.

‘I’m Hot’ is pure jacking disco abandonment. An addictive rolling jam with a lolloping slap-bass lick, hypnotising vocals and warm filter action, it’s another signature Rizardo lesson in timelessness, simplicity and the beauty of samplecraft. Guaranteed uplift thanks to its precision arrangement and constant sense of rising throughout, this has festival weapon stamped all over it. Perfect timing: the summer’s only just warming up.

Defected Records are proud to present a label debut from two of dance music’s most exciting and influential acts. With its deep tribal drums, jacked-up beat and Strictly Rhythm vocal sample ‘Rushing’ is a perfect amalgamation of Jamie Jones and Darius Syrossian’s styles, making an impressive inaugural release as a pair. With Jamie heading up Paradise, now on its eighth consecutive year at DC10, and Darius holding down a number of residencies including Do Not Sleep, now at Amnesia for its fifth season, there is no doubt this record will be an Ibiza anthem. ‘Rushing’ is a prime example of how both these artists have reached such calibre, with an irresistible beat and slick groove that make it an essential tune for this summer and beyond.
