Solid Grooves drop their latest Summer Sampler to close August as Michael Bibi and PAWSA invite a selection of the scene’s finest to deliver the label’s 2021 instalment.

An annual fixture in the calendar for many, Solid Grooves’ summer Various Artist offering welcomes a project showcasing a UK label at the forefront of the scene. Having recently returned as a family across sold out shows in London and Bristol, late August welcomes this year’s highly-anticipated drop from a wealth of SG favourites and close friends.

Offering up a combination of up-front and more minimal-leaning productions, co-founders Michael Bibi and PAWSA step out alongside residents Bassel Darwish, Blackchild (ITA), Eddy M, Ramin Rezaie and Reelow, plus 2021 guests Carloh, Detlef and Wheats, to deliver a ten track package you won’t want to sleep on.

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.

Solid Grooves reveal their 2020 'Summer Sampler' as co-founders Michael Bibi and PAWSA are joined by a fresh selection of the collective's core residents this August.

An imprint established just five years ago, yet one that stands today as one of the scene's most in-demand labels, Michael Bibi and PAWSA's Solid Grooves Records continues to go from strength to strength with their unmistakable sound showcased via their core global family of artists and residents. Following on from the label's biggest 12 months to date, with five Beatport #1's since 2019's V/A offering, mid-August now welcomes the arrival of 2020's sampler instalment as both label co-founders return to deliver highly anticipated unreleased productions, alongside fresh material from label favourite Dennis Cruz, Spanish duo Eddy M and Bassel Darwish, Barcelona's Reelow, UK resident Ramin Rezaie, and the latest addition to the SG family, Italian DJ and producer Blackchild (ITA).

Bassel Darwish's rolling cut 'Origin' opens the package in style, whilst Blackchild (ITA)'s 'Por La Calle' keeps the focus on organic percussion whilst upping the energy levels and introducing resonant sax riffs throughout. Next, MÜSE bosses Dennis Cruz and Eddy M step up with Cruz delivering a typically slick effort via the impressive 'El Puma', whilst Eddy M's 'Goodie Bag' combines trademark grooves, bumping bass licks and infectious vocal samples. The second half signals the introduction of both label co-founders, with Bibi finally releasing the highly anticipated and hypnotic sonics of 'Dance To The Devil', whilst 'Full Tilt' welcomes a high-octane journey through slinking drum grooves and menacing basslines courtesy of PAWSA. To close, Ramin Rezaie's 'Bam' pairs things back and balances drum grooves loaded with swing alongside sweeping melodies, before the warping 'Voices In My Damn Head' sees Reelow introduce soaring electronic leads and off kilter drums arrangement to shape up proceedings.
