how to describe this sound?

I tried writing something, but describing art with words is hard..

So instead play it as loud as you can and give me your honest thoughts 💚

After debuting on selected. in 2024 with “Heartache” alongside Alex Mills, Ferreck Dawn returns with “Velvet & Ice”, his first solo outing on the label.

Known for his percussive precision and signature vocal flourishes, the Dutch producer has built a reputation through standout releases on Defected, Insomniac, and Repopulate Mars, along with headline sets at Brooklyn Mirage, Pacha, Hi Ibiza, and Tomorrowland. With countless Beatport #1s and a growing global audience, Ferreck Dawn continues to push his minimal, groove-forward sound into bold new territory.

Playful and tightly constructed, “Velvet & Ice” lands with subtle flair — an expertly crafted house cut made for discerning floors.

After making a strong first impression with “In Reverse” last month, newcomer Daydream Affiliate follows up with “99 Eyes” — a heartfelt, atmospheric house track that showcases their distinctive sonic touch.

Blending laid-back rhythms, emotive vocals, and a journey-like structure, “99 Eyes” pulls you in slowly and stays with you. It’s the kind of track that feels intimate yet expansive — built to linger in the background or take center stage, depending on how you listen.

Following two standout releases this autumn, “blackout blackout” and “magnetic magnetic”, all things break returns to selected. with “gravity” — an emotional, driving cut that deepens the project’s distinct sonic identity.

Built on a pulsing low end and a clouded sense of melancholy, “gravity” captures the tension between weight and motion — made for night drives, headphones, and everything in between. The track follows the breakout success of “blackout blackout”, which reached Spotify’s Daily Viral 50 and cracked the iTunes Dance Top 10 in multiple countries.

With each release, all things break continues to push into stripped-back, mood-driven dance music — intimate, evocative, and entirely its own.

Funkin Matt - Such a Rush

Before I Can Be There for You” drifts between emotion and groove, blending soft house rhythms with dreamy, melodic layers. It’s a track about the quiet space before connection — that moment of reflection, healing, and finding your center. Gentle chords, subtle drums, and a warm, floating vibe make it perfect for late nights, deep-focus moments, or anyone moving through their own journey before showing up for someone else.
