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.

Late Replies are back on their imprint for the third time this year with 2 powerful underground anthems, which feature 2 talented vocalists in Shyam P & Rayzir.

The A side, 'Not Perfect' is a perfect blend of deep tech and sexy. Shyam P's harmonic melodies hosts the vibe while keeping the gritty feel for the dance floor. This combined with Late Replies' rolling glitchy percs and pumping bass line guarantees a good time on the dance floor.

The B side, 'Never Know' is a constant deep acid sequence roller polished with Rayzir's slick vocal which will hug the club. The snapping RD8 snare pierces through the speakers while the bass line takes you on a deep ride.

Rising star SOSA collaborates with established producer and DJ duo Prok | Fitch. Together, they weave their distinct sound of groove-based tech house, releasing a club-driven creation suitable for transient and peak-time moments on the dancefloor. 

They explain the functional aspect of the EP. “We’ve wanted to do something together for a while through a mutual love for one another’s music. The tracks came together effortlessly; we merged our production styles, bounced the projects back and forth and ended up doing three tracks covering the full scope of our DJ sets and us as producers,” they say. “It was important to have a lead track for the EP, something that a good cross-section of DJs could get behind and then some timeless DJ tools for groovier floors, late night/early morning moments and the big rooms! We’re buzzing with how they turned out and how they’ve been working on the dancefloor.” The title tune opens with a minimal vibe before a sultry vocal slips into the soundscape, evoking a sunrise-at-the-rave mood. Stripped-back percussion allows the lyrics to breathe, while a robust kickdrum conveys a clubby feel. Like the title suggests, Sweat is a pacier tune that ripples with a low-slung bassline and sizzling vocals with a touch of reverb—the perfect late-night groover. Final tune Footsteps In The Dark unfurls with a stabby synthline and snappy percussion, offering a peak-time production primed for a club soundsystem. 

Since breaking through with groundbreaking releases on Sola, Hottrax and Cuttin Headz, Liverpool-born SOSA has gained support from leading names in house music such as Jamie Jones, Michael Bibi, The Martinez Brothers, Chris Lake and East End Dubs to name a few. Having launched and established his imprint and event series COCO in Liverpool, SOSA now plays across the UK, counting gigs at Printworks, Motion, Mint and beyond into America and across Europe. Brighton-based producer and DJ outfit Prok | Fitch remain two of the most alluring producers on the house circuit. Regularly cited as one of Beatport’s highest selling artists annually – with 2016’s Green Velvet collab ‘Sheeple’ remaining at No.1 for an impressive 16 weeks – their music strikes an appealing balance between melodic intricacy and dance floor heft. The pair have supplied dancefloors worldwide with their groove-heavy aesthetic, with releases on Solid Grooves, Knee Deep, Circus, Relief and more. Today, the duo constantly evolve their sound while touring the UK, the USA and beyond.

Solid Grooves Records co-founder Michael Bibi drops a pair of infectious tracks that feature his own vocals this September.

Michael Bibi's perpetual rise over the last two years can be credited to his idiosyncratic style, as heard in his appearances on labels like VIVa MUSiC, Lost Records and Criminal Hype. Having just made his debut at fabric where Solid Grooves took over Room Two, both Bibi and his label continue to raise the bar; cementing their reputation as a driving force behind some of today's most exciting house music.

A twisted intro makes way for raw sounding percussion and rumbling bass in 'Smoke Signals' before Bibi's infectious vocals come into play. A catchy production from the off, 'Playzone' once again features Bibi's voice whilst a moody low-end, crunchy snares and various samples and effects operate throughout.
