Rampa - Keep House (Keinemusik KM022)

Acclaimed independent electronic music label Selador Recordings has announced details of its landmark 10th Anniversary celebrations, which includes an exciting array of releases (on vinyl and digitally) featuring all-star collaborations and a series of worldwide events.

Selador was started by Dave Seaman and Steve Parry back in 2013 and has been at the forefront of club culture for the last decade, bringing its mantra of quality House and Techno and all shades in-between to clubbers and music fans around the globe. The label’s distinctive rabbit head logo has become a byword for genuine quality and consistency in a saturated marketplace - so it’s only fitting that fate has decreed that the birthday coincides with the Year of the Rabbit.

Selador will present a selection of exciting releases befitting of this milestone, with an array of artists who’ve appeared on the label over the last decade being invited to collaborate ontracks together. It’s an impressive list which showcases the respect in which original Dave Seaman and Steve Parry are held. 

As per with Selador, it’s a truly international affair, with every continent represented. The mouth-watering partnerships include: 
3D (Danny Howells, Darren Emerson, Dave Seaman) x Robert Owens 
Olivier Giacomotto x Quivver
Jepe x Argia
Anthony Pappa x Jamie Stevens x Alice Rose
Dave Seaman x Hernan Cattaneo

Across April and May, other contributions will include from Steve Parry, Tokyo Fan Club, Just Her, Hannes Bieger, Smash TV, Timo Maas, Renato Cohen and Robert Babicz. The first digital release, Selador Decade EP 1, will be released on 24 th March. The Selador Decade 10th Birthday Vinyl EP will be released on 21 st April. The first Selador 10 th Anniversary party will be held in London at Studio 338 on Easter Sunday, 9 th April, in partnership with Warm Up Festival. The inimitable Hernan Cattaneo is jetting in to play an exclusive London set, joining Steve Parry and Dave Seaman, long time cornerstone of the label Just Her, and the mighty Warm Up residents.
Steve Parry of Selador said: “It’s hard to believe that we’re the owners of a label that’s been running for a whole decade. It sometimes still feels like we’re still a relatively new kid on the block in the grand scheme of things but with 10 years now under our belt. They say time flies when you’re having fun and our first decade certainly has flown by but I won’t say it’s been easy, because it is hard work, but I do genuinely love it. It’s a true labour of love”.

Passions Rise And Fall

Project 113

01 &ME - Everless

Reznik - up to this point being in the picture as the DJ only fella - is chipping in "Schuhu's Groove". A cut that indeed delivers a good amount of grooving energy. And at the same time, a bright tune that's switching beat patterns and indulges in Neo-Disco-leanings and funked up synth arrangements.

Hand in Hand EP

Schuhu's Groove

Here comes Reznik's and his studio-buddy and friend Good Guy Mikesh's first full-fledged EP for the Keinemusik label. Them getting together can result in somewhat variable stylistic outcomes and so this batch of tunes certainly adds some exquisite nuances to the label's sound- portfolio.
"Human Factor" on A distinctively affirms that Reznik and Mikesh are kids of the 80ies. Effectively it is synth-heaven, layering riffs, melodies and chilly beat patterns on top of each other, building a foundation to be pinnacled by that hook you might not be able to get out of your head for quite a while. So, little trigger warning right there. A strongly crafted tune that balances Pop-sensibilities, educated references, club qualities and that name giving, at all hands needed human factor into a soon-to-be classic.
"It's Not You It's Me" on the flipside insinuates itself in a rather emotive manner, introducing a mantra-like organ motive, switches between stoic and dynamic drum patterns and an all-over organic feel, altogether adding up to what would be one of this season's most sensitive ways to get a floor going (if there was a season after all).
Closing things off is Adam Port's take on "It's Not You It's Me", a remix that breaks the original's dynamic down to a more loop-based club-approved modus operandi, re-shaping the beat with toms and shakers, implementing drones and variations of the organ-hook, upping the ante to meet the requirements of a rather post-peak application.
