'Israeli producer Stereo Underground returns to Balance with a highly impressive bass-heavy two-track EP. Not only does he dazzle with his incredible engineering skills, but his innate ability to craft engaging dance music that makes you sit up and pay attention is on full display.

The beat on ‘Spinner’ is so dirty you will need a bath after hearing it. The bass feels untethered, a swirling mass of low end punctuated by sharp, sizzling hats. A wild synth threatens to unravel everything during the breakdown - yet everything is reigned in at the precise moment of glory. This is dance music for dark rooms.

On ‘Cyberia’ the emphasis is once again on the bass. It’s a top-heavy workout smoothed out by an uplifting melody that becomes progressively more euphoric with each tick. The layers are impressive, building a narrative that will reward those looking to get lost in the music.'

Stereo Underground - Spinner

Premiere: Stereo Underground - Cyberia [Balance]

An artist renowned for his attention to detail and magnificently equipped studio, Petar Dundov has been at the vanguard of the techno genre in all its guises and within the wider canon of Melodic and Progressive House. Already featuring on such esteemed imprints as SCI+TEC, Cocoon Recordings and Sudbeat Music, December 2020's "Salvation / Nature of Nature" EP was a glorious Proton debut. Now following up with another pair of original tracks, "Spark" is redolent in all the trademark features that make Dundov such a respected figure. Through heavy beat, rolling percussive groove and hypnotic bass phrase, sparkling synth motifs gently work across the 9-minute piece in unencumbered fashion. A stripped back breakdown adds further texture and effects before the shimmering melodic sequences take centre stage in the second half. "Day Unseen" provides immediate energy via a syncopated synth motif that provides further intrigue through open filters, modulation and note placement. A clicking, tom-infused percussive groove supplies innovation as a new melody makes its way to the fore and additional strings create a smooth counterpoint to the elements introduced in the first half.

A powerful force withing the house and techno genre movements, BLANCAh, continues to hit the sweet spot with an immaculate blend of melodic components fused to dynamic and powerful dancefloor rhythms. A debut on the renowned Steyoyoke in 2014 signalled the Brazilian's intent as a panoply of original music found its way on to the likes of Lost on You, Sprout and Renaissance Records. The latter bore witness to her debut full-length album in May 2020 with the outstanding "Arias of Sky". Making her Proton Music debut, the BLANCAh remix is a wonderful interpretation that intelligently makes use of Dundov's components while introducing an array of her own production material. The result is a stunning interpretation which bristles with vibrancy as analogue synth lines infused with white-noise, reverb and delay, ripple across the stereo spectrum with ease backed by a chest-thumping kick and elegant percussion.

Regularly seeing his music featured on the likes of Meanwhile, 3rd Avenue and Clinique with a variety of original and remix production material, Imran Khan has shone brightly through 2018's "Arrival" EP on Particles, while August 2019's "Organik" and November's "Sunsweat" EPs continued his story on Proton Music. Remixes for GMJ, Dmitry Molosh and Michael A for the latter, have continued to showcase a burgeoning talent as the UK star now works his magic on "Spark". Characterised by a hefty rhythmic groove and seismic bassline, growling synth lines swim across the stereo spectrum as delayed percussive hits and ticking hats supply hypnotic energy. Evolving with elegance, pads and effects are introduced as pitched variations on the original's central motifs bend and echo into the distance in intriguing fashion. The result is an innovative and dramatic interpretation with its roots firmly in Petar Dundov's "Spark".

A "Spark" of ingenuity sees Petar Dundov light up Proton Music once again aided by iridescent remixes from BLANCAh and Imran Khan.

Open 1.4.3 (Sum Over Histories #SOH021)

It’s Showcase time, six slabs of mighty fine dancefloor tuneage with which to ring out the old and ring in the new. The Phenomenal 15th is a Selador Fam Special, as we are delighted to be welcoming back half a dozen old friends to the label.

One of the most prolific Afro-influenced producers on the scene, Darksidevinyl is back for his third time on the label since Boohe first blew up off Showcase 11 in 2020. Internal Jungle sets a high benchmark for this Showcase, a brooding beauty with driving percussion and more hooks than a fisherman’s tackle shop.

Melbourne’s rising star Sam Hopgood makes a quick return after wowing us on 2021’s Showcase 14 with the infectious Waiting. The lush atmospherics of new cut Trust will only elevate Sam’s status even further, a breathy vocal sample weaving in and out of intense chiming synths.

Martin HERRS’ Afro Houser Impala shone brightly on last year’s Showcase 12, becoming one of our best sellers of 2021. Now firmly ensconced in the electronic elite, Visual Provocation sees Martin channel the vibe of early 80s electronic pioneers through a 2022 filter – deep & dark, just how we like it.

Oz electronica deity Jamie Stevens then makes an even quicker return to the label. Fresh from his chart topping collab wih Anthony Pappa, solo cut Fool Me Once is a gorgeous slice of machine soul, achieving the rare feat of being hypnotic, ethereal and funky all at the same time. Classy. 

The trio of Michael & Levan and Stiven Rivic are a production team who have consistently proved themselves over recent times, as evidenced on 2020’s Selador outing, Dangerous. They now return with Lonely,  a no-nonsense heads down monster that throbs like a cartoon thumb, with a distinctive vocal hook likely to take up permanent residence in your head.

St Petersburg’s Blaktone also make an overdue reappearance at Selador HQ to round things off perfectly. Past releases Saw Mantra and Under My Skin remain much loved catalogue nuggets, and The New Message will undoubtedly join them, a masterclass in squelching nu-acid set to rock peak time floors.

Now that’s how to start the new year in style.  

Selador Recordings – something of a phenomenon

*SELADOR PREMIERE* Blaktone - The New Message

'Argia’s remix melts away the blues and greens, exposing a hard, bright skeleton. Trancey synth bridges the two halves like a silk-streamered jump-and-suspense in mid air. When the break comes in, it’s awash with almost nothing but bumpy, metallic, tightly knotted pieces. Rattled and resistant, textured and knuckly, this is a remix so irresistibly danceable, it’ll send sparks through your nervous system.'

Jickow kicks off brand new label Olympe Music with a first single that gets big remixes from melodic heavy-weight producers Ten Walls and Robert Babicz.
 
Burakumin is a former untouchable group in Japan at the bottom of the traditional social hierarchy. Even abolished, their descendants continued to face stigmatization and discrimination in Japan.
 
Throughout that track, Jickow wanted to pay them a tribute.
 
Burakumin is a deep and slow bring prog house tune. The melodies are poised and build carefully, lifting your spirits and taking you to the stars. It is a genuinely hypnotic roller. Ten Walls Remix gets edgier, with sharper chords and dancing drums making for a melodic tech vibe to get you in a trance. Last but not least, Robert Babicz then rounds out with a more supple and minimal vibe that rolls late into the night.

Early support from Sasha, Agents Of Time, Magdalena, DJ T, Ilana Maras, Bog, Township Rebellion, Paul Sawyer Darin Epsilon, Nhii, Cadillac Express, Eric Rose, Animal Print, Criss Source, Betoko, Joy Kitikonti , Nick Muir, Who Else, Animal Trainer, and so many more.
