- Michael Bibi  Whispers in the Wind -

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.

Poker Flat's Forward To The Past anthology returns in its 3rd iteration, as lean and mean as it ever was and precision-engineered to make you jack, dream and all things in between. The winning formula remains the same: task a selection of hotshot veteran and up-and-coming producers with recapturing the style and mood of early club music, paying homage to the golden years between 1985 and 1992 when Chicago House and Acid, New York House and Detroit Techno took the world and its dancefloors by storm. The result is a collection of new and exclusive tracks as addictive as the stone cold classics that influenced them - a tribute and, at the same time, the cutting edge of contemporary music production.

Quell casts clouds of vocals and a repeated snippet of soul over a sinuous, undulating bassline.

Anaxander gives us classic acid with Gallic attitude, fine-tuned for the dancefloor.

Hard-touring DJ and Back to Basics resident Denney goes back to the old school, plunging you into the midst of a heaving dancefloor with a wobbling, fluttering acid track.

Glasgow's Debukas provides another Detroit-influenced highlight, letting his imagination run riot with a heartstring-pulling chord progression and contrapuntal synth lines.

Denny's Leeds-based neighbour Bakers Dozen aka Simon Baker provides 'Reaching' - an upfront Chicago groove that provides a full spectrum assault on the senses with its reverberating vocal and lush, layered synths.

PAWSA presents the second release on his Solid Grooves imprint with three broody house tracks including Tiger Stripes on remixes duties.

One of London’s most popular event series, 2015 has seen Solid Grooves evolve into a label with co-founders Michael Bibi and PAWSA at the helm. With his debut release on Leftwing & Kody’s Lost Records reaching no. 6 in Beatport’s Tech House charts, PAWSA’s entrance into the house and techno scene is envious to say the least, particularly as he followed up with appearances on top tier labels such as Green Velvet’s Relief Records and Nicole Moudaber’s MOOD Records.

Up first, ‘Event Horizon’ unleashes a purring low-end, heady hats and syncopated snares for a menacing, dancefloor focused number geared for the afterhours. Undulating kicks and a groovy bassline then join infectious vocal samples in ‘Separation’, before ‘The Shapeshifter’ delves into deeper territories with subterranean notes, reverbed percussion and a playful melody.
Known for his releases on Drumcode and Desolat, Swedish producer Tiger Stripes ties things together with a rolling remix of ‘Event Horizon’ featuring vocal moans, mesmerising atmospherics and ominous bursts of synths.

PAWSA ‘Stage Two’ EP drops on Solid Grooves Records in 26th October 2015.
