Carlos Barbero feat. Dom Fricot
'Closer to Closure'
Includes Yulia Niko remix
SEL 151
Release date April 1st, 2022

And lo, did the Seladorians once again traverse the planet, seeking only the very best in sumptuous sounds, music that would rock the dancefloors to their very core. And verily we did land in Panama, where we reconnected once more with Carlos Barbero. ‘Wake Up’, his warmly received Selador debut last year, had received more plaudits than Lord Plaudit of Plauditsville on National Plaudits Day.

“Please sir,” we said, trembling in anticipation, “can we have some more?” My friends, we think you know the answer, for it resides here with you right now, a floor filler of epic proportions direct from the Barbero bunker, featuring a goosebump-generating vocal and remixers of great repute. 

‘Closer to Closure’ is the title and all versions showcase the sublime vocal performance of Dom Fricot (he of Anjunadeep and Systematic Recordings fame). The original mix is a thing of beauty, marrying brooding subtlety with striking hooks. File under essential.

We are also overjoyed to have a Selador label debut courtesy of a remix from one of our favourite producers. Yulia Niko(for it is she) is a globetrotting maestro currently resident in Berlin. Her interpretation goes deeeeeep, but also showcases the haunting vocal to brilliant effect.

Double bubble, dancefloor trouble, cooked up for you by another Selador cross-continental dream team.

Team Selador - So close, we've even got cigars!

PS. Look out for another very special remix to follow courtesy of a long-time occupant of our Producer wishlist. All we can say is, it was... 
Worth. The. Wait!

*SELADOR PREMIERE* Carlos Barbero Feat Dom Fricot - Closer To Closure (Yulia Niko Remix)

British electronica duo Left of Manila, Ed Bentley and Mish Pharaon, craft an idiosyncratic world mixing hypnotic rhythms with lush, synthesized landscapes and mantric vocals that combine for a left-of-centre sonic that borders the dance and listening spectrums with ease and their latest release, ‘Africa on My Mind’, is as sonically intergalactic and expansive as they come. 

It features synthesizer from Tom Adams and is co-written by Ghanaian Londoner Jeff Darko who also offers up his striking falsetto vocal on the track. Lyrically it explores the longing to be home and to connect with geographically distant loved ones, a feeling experienced acutely by both Left of Manila and African-born Darko. As the latter explains, [it’s about] “Where I was born and is essentially a reflection of my upbringing. It’s important to never erase where we come from”.

Franco-German DJ and producer from Berlin, Franz Matthews takes the original on a psychedelic ride, remixing the track with his sleek, dancefloor focussed sonics. From warming drum machines that dish out the metric groove to the layers of original guitars and vocal that Franz has paired with immaculate synths and creative sound design. A beautiful dancefloor moment in the making that will find home in clubs and festivals alike.

Following their highly acclaimed ’Sweet Ease’  / ‘Hybrid Society’, which reached No.1 on Beatport Indie Dance towards the end of 2021 and featured in countless DJ sets, Matthias Meyer and Budakid return to Watergate Records with another powerful collaboration, ’Saye’ / ’System’ released on October 14th.

Opening track 'Saye’ captures the inventive and sparkling production both Berlin-based artists have become renowned for. Hypnotic organ chords are deployed alongside euphoric vocal chops and jagged, driving beats to create a truly memorable track which is already generating a huge reaction on dance-floors when it has been road tested in recent Matthias Meyer and Budakid DJ sets. 

The stirring and atmospheric ’System’ balances ’Saye’ perfectly. Budakid’s haunting vocal is presented alongside glitchy, yet etherial synthesizer sequences with the central theme the idea that we are living in a broken system.

His recent and rapid ascent is evidenced by an avalanche of recent releases on prestigious labels such as Siona Records, Timeless Moment, Freegrant, Univack, Mango Alley, and many more. We are elated to welcome Amir and his enchanting sounds to the Dissident Music family! “Went Too Deep" is a track that perfectly encapsulates Amir's emotive style, seamlessly blending uplifting elements with deep, percussive rhythms. Originally featured on Dissident Miami 2023, this track is now receiving a full release, complete with two electrifying remixes to complete this amazing pack. First in line for remix duty is the maestro from Medellin, Kamilo Sanclemente. No introduction needed; his CV is miles long and boasts an unmatched record of delivering top-tier releases on the world's most renowned labels. Kamilo's remix is just what you expect: a masterclass in chugging, percussive tech-infused progressive house music like only he can deliver. Next, the UK-based production trio, Mind Of Us, bring their own unique interpretation into the mix. The guys have been on an absolute tear since their formation just a year ago, with top-rated releases on Sudbeat, Univack, Freegrant, Sound Avenue, and more. We are thrilled to welcome them to Dissident Music with this incredible remix. Expect an original single from them soon to follow! Thank you, as always, for your support!
