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.

UK duo MANT make their Solid Grooves debut with the energy-charged 'No Turning Back'.

With a selection of productions spanning the house sphere, London-based DJ/producer pairing MANT continue to showcase their varied sound and style. Arriving straight from their recent collaboration with US Garage icon Todd Edwards and building on 2022's releases schedule with music via Saved, ORIGINS, VIVa MUSiC and more, they close out March with a first appearance on Solid Grooves in the form of their new single, 'No Turning Back'.

An acid-driven anthem built for big moments, 'No Turning Back' is a no-nonsense production harnessing tough metallic drums, snarling low-ends and a wicked core bassline full of vigour.

Singapore-based producer mermaids announces the release of "Thought Shuffle," a mesmerizing deep lofi house track that marks the project's triumphant return for 2025. The single, set for release on August 15th under SEAlectors, features the evocative saxophone work of Roxy Modesto, a staple of both jazz and rock landscapes in The Philippines and Indonesia.

"Thought Shuffle" serves as a bookend to mermaids' pandemic-era "Flat Curver" series, continuing the project's exploration of intimate, home-listening experiences while maintaining dancefloor sensibilities. The track represents a natural evolution in the mermaids sound, weaving together tinges of improvised jazz elements with the project's signature blend of warm chords and subtly energetic percussion.

"I wanted to make a track that bridges my previous work with the current sound I’m dropping at my DJ sets across Southeast Asia," explains the artist. "The improvised nature of Roxy’s sax adds this organic human element on top of the music I produced in a DAW. It's like finding clarity in the noise we all experience more and more of.”

“This was also the first mermaids track that I mixed through our large format analog console. The nature of analog mixing is quite different compared to working in a DAW, and there are a lot of factors and inconsistencies that can affect the sound in a pleasant way. Our Soundcraft TS12 has been in use since the 80s when it was part of legendary TRACKS Studios in Manila, and mixing with it in the analog domain imparted a lot of its charm and vibe.”

True to the mermaids aesthetic, "Thought Shuffle" creates an atmosphere perfectly suited for quiet morning coffee rituals or providing gentle motivation during long workdays. The track's sophisticated production showcases his influences from Chicago and Detroit house legends while maintaining the lo-fi textures that have become synonymous with the project's sound.

Roxy Modesto's saxophone performance adds layers of emotional depth, creating melodic conversations between acoustic warmth and digital precision. The collaboration represents mermaids' continued commitment to featuring diverse artists across Southeast Asia, building bridges between regional music scenes.

Produced, mixed, and mastered by DJ Joey Santos at Love One Another Sound Production.

Solid Grooves has built a strong following of loyal fans over the years. Starting out as an event series, the London based brand has since achieved global success including a prevalent Ibiza residency last year. Launching as a label in 2015, it wasn’t long before Solid Grooves Records topped Beatport’s overall charts with Wade’s remix of Dennis Cruz ‘See Line’ and cemented its reputation as an infallible imprint, releasing music from names such as Kuo Climax, ONNO, David Pher and Brett Gould.

Dennis Cruz leads the way with ‘Fake’, a vocal focused track with throbbing bass, chopped up samples and infectious percussive components before Franz Costa’s ‘Kate’ blends a medley of intricate rhythmic elements for a trippy low-slung production.

The label co-founders are up next, with Michael Bibi unleashing a roaring low-end in ‘Devil’s Candy’ whilst a spoken word sample operates through, making way for PAWSA’s ‘Taking Over’ – an atmospheric house track geared for powerful subs featuring dub inspired stabs and sharp hats. Reelow then concludes the package, demonstrating his signature style with a cacophony of percussion and mesmerizing effects.

Following on from last year’s Bump It EP, Sammy W Tobus join musical
forces once again, this time with a fiery three-part offering for Hot Creations.

heavy-hitting bassline and rhythmic beat. Closing the package, Jam Tight is a funky
number that chops and blends vocals alongside pads, adding classic house
elements that create a solid, dancefloor burner.

fresh approach to DJ sets has garnered support from some of the scene’s top DJs.
