It's Showcase time, where Selador guarantees the joy of six. Half a dozen ultra-fresh jams from Selador debutants, a veritable feast of musical goodness, seasoned with some succulent surprises.

In the beginning there was rhythm, and that is certainly to the fore with our opener. Midnight Sun by the gizA DJs duo from Italy, fresh from excursions for the likes of Diynamic, Eklektisch and Glasgow Undergound, delivers the funkiest of intros, teasing you all the way to a euphoric guitar drop. A brilliantly original opening salvo.

Second on the grid it's Sam Hopgood (most recently releasing on Nick Warren's Soundgarden imprint) with Waiting. The wait for his Selador debut is over as this native of one of our favourite cities, Melbourne, hits bullseye with an infectious number that subtly builds from dreamy to dramatic over the course of a spellbinding seven minutes.

Three is, of course, the magic number, and here we find Agustin Giri, a consistent presence in the melodic and progressive charts that count. Hailing from one of electronic music's nerve centres, Argentina, Nitt features one of the most insistent riffs we've heard in aeons, this electronic earworm riding a bed of the crispest beats.

Opening side two (in our minds, we picture a 12" record), we find Kate Ozz. As befits a globetrotting label like Selador, Kate originates from Moscow but is currently based in Miami. Birds of Paradise is an unavoidable peak time banger which is another contender for hypnotic riff of the year.

Taking the fifth, we present Paul Sparkes, Brit with a truly global CV. Here at Selador HQ, we can never get enough wonkiness, so when Paul delivered Hour of Wonk, we knew we had a winner. Alas it is 6 minutes rather than 60, but that time is packed full of truly righteous, uplifting sounds

Completing our 6-0 dancefloor demolition is the sensuous Hopeless Cause from one of Spain's fastest rising stars, Grezzer. A galloping bassline kicks us off, with ever more mesmerising synth sounds and a haunting vocal hook.

Welcome to the world of Snick Snack! What started out as a vessel to release their own music, Ost & Kjex + Trulz & Robin’s Snick Snack Music is steadily becoming an outlet for Norwegian electronic music in the widest possible sense. The creative energy currently flowing from all corners of the country is something the boys couldn’t resist tapping into, leading to the release of Snick Snack Vol. 1 - Sounds from the Norwegian underground, a compilation aiming to show some of the diversity found throughout the country’s vibrant and freewheeling underground scene.

The tunes are provided by both new talent and established artists, keeping the label bosses’ love of the underground flowing. Be it through lo-fi house, minimal techno, eastern induced house, acid, esoteric techno, gothic impulses or classic vocal house; Snick Snack Vol. 1 is a celebration of this diversity.

Label co-runners Ost & Kjex are next up with Motown. The duo have been a staple in the Norwegian scene since they first emerged with the tune ”Cheeses & the Mary Jane” in 2002. Over time, Ost & Kjex have moved from sample based experimental house music to their own take on classic dance music, setting dance floors ablaze throughout the world in the process.

We rarely do Premiere's anymore, as the market for it is so saturated that we decided to stay away from it mostly. But sometimes our friends from the underground community serve us some wonderful, moody music we love to support. As we premiered the first collaboration between NODO and Canopy Sounds, we return for their second ride together and are happy to present you "Eniwetok".

"Enitewok" is one of the new tracks from the forthcoming EP by NODO, a young producer signed on the Canopy Sounds label. It's a slow steady builder replete with precise drum programming, subtle melodic touches, and world music influences and the type of track you'd wanna hear deep in the forest, while sunlight pokes through the trees and everyone is dancing in unison.

Nodo's "Kintsugi" EP releases on Canopy Sounds and will be out exclusively on Beatport July 14th, with a world-wide release on July 28th.
