Solid Grooves drop their latest Summer Sampler to close August as Michael Bibi and PAWSA invite a selection of the scene’s finest to deliver the label’s 2021 instalment.

An annual fixture in the calendar for many, Solid Grooves’ summer Various Artist offering welcomes a project showcasing a UK label at the forefront of the scene. Having recently returned as a family across sold out shows in London and Bristol, late August welcomes this year’s highly-anticipated drop from a wealth of SG favourites and close friends.

Offering up a combination of up-front and more minimal-leaning productions, co-founders Michael Bibi and PAWSA step out alongside residents Bassel Darwish, Blackchild (ITA), Eddy M, Ramin Rezaie and Reelow, plus 2021 guests Carloh, Detlef and Wheats, to deliver a ten track package you won’t want to sleep on.

Marcellus makes his Hottrax debut this May with ‘Reeces Pieces’.
 
London-born DJ & producer Marcellus had had a bountiful 12 months, dropping flavours across Elrow, Relief and Deeperfect, grabbing the attention of Dennis Cruz, Michael Bibi and Jamie Jones. Now, the UK talents’ beats have landed on Jones’ Hottrax for the first time in the shape of his weighty four-track EP ‘Reeces Pieces’. 

Ghostly pads float over snaking percussion in the fibrous lead track ‘Reeces Pieces’ as male and female vocals battle it out over a brooding bassline, before ‘Reputation' brings the funk with slappy strings, jazzy motifs and deep tones. Next, ‘Wild’ takes no prisoners with pounding low-ends and sassy, loopy lyrics alongside twisted samples, ahead of the swung ‘closing track‘ ‘2003’, harnessing convulsing synths and crescendoing drumrolls as a fitting finale for this dancefloor-ready EP.
 
Marcellus ‘Reeces Pieces’ drops via Hottrax on 16th May 2022. 

Tracklist: 
1) Reeces Pieces 
2) Reputation 
3) Wild

Blackchild (ITA) returns to Solid Grooves as the bubbling Italian serves up his latest single, ‘Hypin’.

As fresh and exciting names come, Blackchild (ITA) is right up there with the surging DJ, producer and label boss’ recent releases via the likes Hot Creations and his own LATEMORNING imprint only furthering his rapid ascent. 

Now an established member of the Solid Grooves family, touching down on the main imprint and sub-label Solid Grooves Raw seven times while joining the collective at the likes of ADE and Printworks, late May welcomes more signature dancefloor business on his return with the vibrant ‘Hypin’. 

Combining rolling drums and snaking low-ends with warping bass licks and trademark vocal samples, ‘Hypin’ sees the Italian deliver yet more heat on Solid Grooves as they continue to prove a perfect match.

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.

SGR071 - JUST2 - Go Back

Hidden. Buried. Concealed by the surrounding noise. Some lethal tunes have sneaked throughout the system, and we couldn't keep them secret anymore. We gathered and refined them. That's how our first VA compilation was born. 

The first volume of the 'SECRET NOTES' series is here, featuring eight rolling and bouncy tracks from label-boss Mahony and our core affiliates AG Swifty, Brad Brunner, and EdiP. To these, we have added some razor-sharp tunes by Ben Murphy, Biagio Ess, BizZa, and Mattia Scolaro, for the ultimate Take Notes pack. Play them loud - that's the secret!

Up next is the ever-popular UK talent Iglesias with his latest standout piece ‘Every Inch’. Calling in rising star Ben Sterling and label favourite Jezen on remix duties, ‘Every Inch’ offers a super-varied package - capable of appealing to even the most diverse of musical palates. 

The original mix is a firm reminder of why Iglesias is such a revered name within the UK scene and further afield. Swinging the gate open with a robust combination of groove-assembling elements, ‘Every Inch’ truly champions the Libero Sound. A captivating low-frequency partnership of thumping kick drums and rolling sub-bass cut straight through the middle of the track, paving the way for endless rhythm and a masterfully pieced together vocal topline that ties everything together perfectly. 

Ben Sterling follows with a standout remix, flipping things on its head. A perpetual analogue low end with heaps of grit and rawness throughout. Ben’s preference for hardware shines through in the remix, giving it an essentially dusty feel with endless dancefloor appeal. Glitchy, quirky and hard to put down; individuality with a real hooking quality.

Jezen brings the release to a close with a progressively building and enslaving re-work of the title track. Undeniably deep and full of soul, something we have seen him bring to the label previously with great effect, he’s on target with yet another standout track. Flicking between 4/4 and two-step, its layered synths and filtered vocals that modulate throughout the track all add incredible amounts of personality. Perfect to open or to close with.

Iglesias’ ‘Every Inch’ EP (Inc. Ben Sterling & Jezen Remixes) is proudly brought to you by Libero Records.

Manchester-based imprint Libero Records is quickly becoming a staple in the diet of many underground tech-house appreciators. With a stripped-back approach and rhythmic grooves teeming throughout their already blossoming catalogue of releases, it’s easy to see why the label’s exposure is growing at an exponential rate. 

Label frontmen Mike Morrisey, Luke Welsh and Dan Costello lead the march in pushing the Libero Sound to the masses.

Building around a focus on percussive, minimalist tech-house inspired by concepts like the infamous Music On and artists like Marco Carola, Joseph Capriati, Paco Osuna and many more; Libero’s ethos is centred around the rolling soul of underground dance music. Through the label, as well as regular events and a frequent podcast series, they consistently broadcast their simple yet effective Libero Sound ideology to the farthest corners of the scene.
