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.

GHETTO

...well, I guess THIS Interbay track won't get any play on terrestrial radio.  

This house track has a skip, a bounce, and a chorus that includes the f-word.  It could hardly NOT include the f-word, considering the source of the vocal samples here (taken from the FAR superior original UK version of a popular US tv show--and no, I'm not talking about The Office.)  

Can you mix food and dance music?  Well, it's not like swimming, where we're told not to do it until an hour after eating (though that's since been proven to be meaningless advice.)  I think this latest Interbay track proves that you can--especially if it is lovely, perfectly cooked, linguini...from La Laterna in Letchworth.  

...which sadly isn't there any more.  (A fate shared by most of the establishments featured on that show--though, on my honeymoon, I did take the opportunity to have some Yorkshire Roast Beef with Yorkshire Pudding and Real Gravy at one of the most memorable establishmments that was on that show...and it was absolutely delicious.  That place, too, is now no longer in business.)  

As far as the music here, it's a pretty straightforward house track--as I mentioned, there's a skip to it--but that doesn't make it UK Garage.  It's not that--though, considering the vocal sample source, wouldn't have been the worst idea, come to think of it.  Maybe a remix in that direction at some point?  

I like the arrangement here--it has good structure, the sounds are chosen well (I think), and there is upwards progression through the song, which...is a good thing if you happen to be dancing to this and the dj isn't too busy in the mix (guilty as charged with that--which makes me wonder what I would do if these Interbay tracks were available when I was dj'ing.  I'd probably find new and interesting ways to scramble them all up--that's what I did with OTHER people's music.)

As always, I appreciate those of you who listen to these daily Interbay tracks!  It means a lot to me and I hope you like what you hear--and the best way to let me know that is to give it a like.  You could also share it with a friend or repost it for all of your followers or add it to a playlist.  

Don't forget to follow this page for even more Interbay, baked fresh daily (apologies to David & Liz.  FRESH BAKED!)

Nobody's Fool (DJ SKT Kiss FM Rip)

Defected Records are proud to present a label debut from two of dance music’s most exciting and influential acts. With its deep tribal drums, jacked-up beat and Strictly Rhythm vocal sample ‘Rushing’ is a perfect amalgamation of Jamie Jones and Darius Syrossian’s styles, making an impressive inaugural release as a pair. With Jamie heading up Paradise, now on its eighth consecutive year at DC10, and Darius holding down a number of residencies including Do Not Sleep, now at Amnesia for its fifth season, there is no doubt this record will be an Ibiza anthem. ‘Rushing’ is a prime example of how both these artists have reached such calibre, with an irresistible beat and slick groove that make it an essential tune for this summer and beyond.
