As UK based Independent Electronic Dance label Selador Recordings approach their 9th anniversary, neatly coinciding with their 150th release, label bosses Dave Seaman & Steve Parry celebrate by unveiling an exciting new collaborative project under the alias, Nunchi Coup.

“We wanted to try to capture our 30+ year journey through Acid House Culture with some new work that reflected our history but still had it’s finger firmly on the pulse of the here and now” explains Dave “Steve and I are both Acid House Lifers but continue to be just as excited by new music as we were back in those early halcyon days. Running the label together has only served to reinforce that.”

“The vibe is a little more raw than what we’d usually do” Steve continues, “We were aiming for Nunchi Coup to have a more classic House and Techno sound. A nod to our heritage but still in a contemporary setting. After three decades in the business we’re even more aware of the circular nature of things.”

The two tracks on offer, whilst quite different in style, definitely have a unifying bond in that they both sound like they could have been made any time in the last 30 years. The astutely named, sample-laced ’Slaves To The Algo-Rhythm’ draws on the classic combination of emotional, soaring, orchestral strings set atop slamming House beats. Goosebumps-a-go-go! Whilst it’s bed partner, the visceral jackhammer that is ‘Coping Mechanism’ packs a punch like Tyson Fury with it’s Rave stabs and strong Warehouse party DNA. In Yer Face!

And the name, Nunchi Coup? What’s that all about then?

Nunchi is the Korean word for the ability to gauge how people are thinking and feeling in order to create connection, trust and harmony. Like a sixth sense, a kind of emotional intelligence and awareness of your surroundings.

“The concept spoke to us as DJs, that subtle art of reading the room and acting appropriately has been the mainstay of our musical philosophy since forever. The Koreans believe Nunchi is the secret to happiness and we can’t argue with that”.

Selador Sessions 158 | James Harcourt

Hola a todos, y bienvenidos al miércoles... Grab your tickets to ride, THIS is the PFG Progcast, come fly with us to this weeks destination! This week we stamp your passport for a brand new country, as Spain awaits! Finally making the trip to this beautiful country, there could only be one outfit that fits the bill. Ladies & Gents, give it up for LOPEZHOUSE!

Over the last ten years, the musical adventure connecting David López and Carlos Cruz (Lopezhouse) has created an important niche in the electronic music scene.  

 After a series of purely underground releases, the duo burst onto the international scene in 2015 thanks to the single 'Mude Tod' released on the prolific Dirtybird label run by Claude VonStroke. Since then, the La Mancha duo growth hasn’t stopped, dropping releases on such important European labels as Berlin’s Exploited or Solomun’s Diynamic Music.   It was around this time that Lopezhouse were noticed by the electronic music legend John Digweed. He was so impressed with them he had them signed to Bedrock Records almost immediately! 

Over the years LopezHouse have released tracks on different labels such as the enigmatic 'Murnau' on the German label Kittball Records, or the renowned 'Crosses and Angels' released on Mantzur’s Plattenbank Records, one of the biggest names in Progressive House. It was this production that appeared on the 2016 Tomorrowland compilation, and on John Digweed's Live In Brooklyn release, recorded at Output. These releases made it possible for the La Mancha duo to perform at the popular Belgian festival in 2016. 

They also had a track, chosen by Solomun, on the 9th edition of the ‘Four to the Floor’  Diynamic Records compilation. This compilation contains tracks that the founder of the label personally chooses because they are ‘made for the dancefloor’. With this purpose, he chose 'Dark Place', a track Solomun played in every set in 2017! 

Also in 2017 LopezHouse debuted on Bedrock, introducing the EP ‘November Clouds/Otsaila’. In 2018 they released the EP ‘Barred Out’ on Valencian label Sincopat with Sascha Robotti, and the EP ‘Motorik’ on Suara Music, a track that both Sasha and John chose as one of the 10 best tracks of 2018. They also released the highly praised EP ‘Arratsaldean’ featuring a masterful remix by techno baron Dave Clarke.  On Bedrock, their EPs ‘Something Is Happening’ (2019) ‘Sunburst’ (2020) & Vostok (2021) were all released to critcal acclaim, followed (last, but not least) in 2021 by ‘Apollo’ their first full-length work.   It is their most daring and experimental work up to date, moving away from the dance floor with a mixture of Kraut & Post-rock essences, in tune with other styles like Ambient, Synth-wave and dark Disco. It can be considered as a turning point in their career that starts 2022 with renewed energy. LopezHouse will be offering the public a new live show full of soul, character and quality that looks to continue the last decades upwards trajectory.

“'Apollo Vibes' marked the beginning of a fantastic adventure within the Bedrock label. Having the privilege and honor to open with what is universally regarded as one of finest mixed compilations, the ‘Los Angeles' from John Digweed, was also a milestone for us. 20 years later to see a reissue of this track with excellent remixes is a great pleasure for us and the opportunity to share it again with you with new perceptions.” Pole Folder

Bedrock are proud to return to an absolute seminal classic. One of the biggest prog anthems from the turn of the century: ‘Apollo Vibes’ from Pole Folder & CP. Iconic in every sense, it captures everything that was exciting and innovative about progressive house in the late 90s/early 2000s. 

20 years later its timelessness is celebrated by an all-star cast of remixers. Recruited by label founder John Digweed for their strong sense of melodic and love for cosmic grooves, each act brings a whole new twist the space-bound original. Petar Dundov adds a whole new rocket booster as a vital new top line emerges into the mix, giving the trip a whole new sense of navigation. 

Next-up is another label family member Tara Brook with a take that stays true to the original. Digging deep into Pole Folder & CP’s iconic bass pulsations, she ups the tempo and adds a contemporary sense of energy while paying full respect to the blueprint. 

Finally Phi Phi and Manu Riga’s new Kayinda project makes its Bedrock debut with an exciting subverted conclusion. Lowering the tempo for a deep, sexy, swinging groove, once again the elements of the original are all in place but the arrangement, flow and focus bring it fully into the future… Ensuring Pole Folder & CP’s exemplary original lives on and mesmerises dancefloors for another 20 years. 

Complete with the original, in all its 11 minute glory, there’s plenty of rocket fuel left on this one. Ready for take off?

Under The Scars

Under The Scars (Dub Mix) [feat. Yulanda]

Pete Tong’s Essential New Tune and Annie Mac’s Hottest Record - six years almost to the day since that ultra-tease of a start, Sasha and Sentre’s anxiously awaited ‘Track 10’ is unleashed at last, dropping September 23 rd on Last Night On Earth. Emerging now out of the white heat of LNOE’s project of ten Sasha collaborations celebrating ten years of standout releases and events, this blissed out cut originally became a secret weapon in Sasha’s sets; won Radio 1’s highest accolades of Hottest Record in the World and Essential New Tune; and caused uproar online with fans who wondered when, if ever, it would be released.

‘Track 10’ attacks on multiple fronts, from the retro-computer SFX background electro-birdsong to the stripped-back riff, the long intro hooking all ears before the fast, full-on euphoric beats and yearning vocals finish the job in a hands up, ecstatic club dance frenzy.

One of those unforgettable timeless tracks that’s out of reach, like an itch you can’t quite scratch.‘From the first moment the Sentre guys and I worked on this we thought we had something special,’ Sasha says. ‘Being able to finally share it with everyone means a lot to all of us.’
