Diaspora

DJ Samer - Diaspora

Selador boss man (job share) Steve Parry is turning 50. Hard to believe when you look at the man's effervescence and energy as he juggles Selador with regular high level gigs, his bespoke promo company SMP3, and of course his blossoming studio exploits.

A true solider of the scene, Steve has dedicated his adult life to club culture, and his abiding passion of discovering and sharing new music, be it from behind the counter at the legendary 3 Beat record store, behind the decks playing at the equally legendary Cream, and as both promoter and resident DJ at cult 00s night Alderaan (all in his home town of Liverpool).

He has long sourced tunes for some of the very biggest DJs (initially via vinyl packages sent from 3 Beat, but quickly adapting to a digital service), and SMP3 has worked with many key labels including Sudbeat, Bedrock, Lost and Found, Frau Blau and Renaissance. Steve's knowledge and enthusiasm remain undimmed.

The advent of Selador has also given Steve a natural home for his finely crafted productions (bar a couple of exceptions which John Digweed nabbed for Bedrock) - and to celebrate this big birthday milestone, we've invited three of Steve's favourite producers to remix three of his previous Seladorian gems.

303V remixed by Doc Martin

Talking of soldiers of the scene, Doc Martin, the much-loved globetrotting, genre straddling DJ, takes Steve's paean to the Liverpool club night, maintains the original's addictive squelchiness, while going for a hypnotically funky workout.

What You Make It remixed by Renato Cohen

Selador favourite Renato Cohen from Brazil keeps the peak time spirit of last year's What You Make It very much intact but adds his own inimitable twist to proceedings. Bass face!

Fenner remixed by Bebetta

Completing our titanic trio, Berlin's creative powerhouse Bebetta takes Steve's evergreen Fenner and wraps its inescapable vocal hook in a dreamy techno blanket. Gorgeous.

Killahurtz - Return to West on 27th

The 'Killaz' return with a huge remix package, courtesy of some of the hottest dance producers in clubland right now.

Hernan Cattaneo and Martin Garcia deliver an absolutely stomping 'Killa Breaks' remix, which is set to rock dance floors around the world.
Their '4/4' remix takes things in a similar direction, delivering everything and more (much more). 

Next up is the dynamic partnership of Luke Brancaccio and Gai Barone. These guys are on fire right now and their remix is no exception.
Luke informed us that they went back to the project several times - boy has that payed off. Its a monstrous remix, which twists and turns from start to finish.

Finally, we have the German maestro himself, Timo Maas. Timo has dropped a Techno bomb which is absolutely sublime. His nod to 'Twilo' in New York takes things in a more underground direction with a heavy groove, that really packs a punch!

Here at Selador HQ, we cherish subtlety and understatement. Not for us the endless pre-announcements of 'big things incoming', we prefer to leave the music to do the talking. However, sometimes even we feel the need to locate the nearest rooftop to shout from. A case in point being release No.145, where it's heavy hitting collaboration time. So, megaphone and klaxons at the ready, let's make some goddamn noise.

Step forward Anthony Pappa – 30+ years in the game for a DJ loved and celebrated by clubbers and fellow selectors worldwide. Pappa enjoys the closest of relationships with his loyal fans, and was one of the true stars of lockdown, with 50+ live streams racking up thousands and thousands of hits. Of course, pre-covid he was no less revered, a reputation as one of the best DJs in the business cemented by mixes for the likes of Global Underground and Balance.

Anthony's partner for this release is fellow son of Melbourne, Australia, Jamie Stevens who has been a giant of underground electronic music production for over two decades. Like Pappa, his talent is only matched by his humility. Initially rising to prominence with award-winning Oz electronica trio Infusion (Legacy, Girls Can Be Cruel) around the turn of the millenium, he's gone on to carve a solo discography overflowing with gems. In short, a tune with Jamie's name on it is pretty much guaranteed to go straight in the box.

And to complete the roll call, making a most welcome return to the label, remix duties are in the capable hands of Framewerk. Londoners Darren James and Alec Milliner are hot property following original productions and remixes for the likes of Bedrock, Renaissance and their own Capital Heaven imprint and a recent flurry of reinterpretations of all time classics that have breathed fresh life into an array of seminal tunes. For us, Framewerk are the current Kings of Breaks.

Soaring into 2022 with his most comprehensive release since his critically acclaimed debut album ‘Ambrosia’ in 2020, Soel makes his debut on Bedrock with four fantastical tracks that promise to sweep your dancefloor off their feet and take them to places they didn’t even know existed. Today, we bring our DJs two exclusive cuts from the EP.

‘Ghasia’ sets the scene with a whole flurry of strong ingredients; a molasses-thick dark disco chug to the bassline, an almost garage-like swing to the beats and an arpeggio from beyond the cosmos. The word epic is overused but this really does fit the description.

Onward we glide into the inspiring tribal groove of ‘Night Of The Chimera’. Once again, the Milanese artist conjures up another faraway narrative from lands that seem just out of reach. It’s all in the synths, sweeping and swooping into the mix while those perfectly rounded and fine-tuned drums keep us rooted to the ground...

Presenting their second release of the year, Phenomena welcomes label boss Elias Erium back for a new EP. After taking a two-year hiatus, the Canadian artist made a welcome return to the spotlight this year. Projects for Eleatics subsidiary Aletheia Recordings and long-standing Berlin powerhouse Steyoyoke set the stage for the March release of ‘Harvester'. Coming courtesy of Phenomena, the two-track showcase revealed a more hypnotic side of the Canadian’s repertoire, in turn garnering support from underground favourites Mind Against. Continuing on an upwards trajectory, Eilas now lands back on his comfortable home of Phenomena with ‘The Grove’. 

Elias’ capacity for storytelling resonates across the title selection 'The Grove’, as obsessive rhythms and hyperspace arps blanket warm punchy beats and monolithic grooves. The Montreal resident expounds his lavish future vision here, with prophetic drones and haunting pads providing a bridge into a desolate break. Clever co-actions and spirited synth phrasing makes for an intoxicating interlude, one which exudes a prophetic mood, before confidently returning to the groove for a heads down finale.

Continuing on a shadowy monochrome are the wintry qualities of 'Food for Thought'. Full of detail and idiosyncrasies, it's a cerebral voyage where the Canadian flexes his freethinking muscles, landing comfortably between soundscape science and groove-centric rhythms. The inevitable apex of this exploratory excursion mounts with shape-shifting layers and spiralling effects converging across an expansive break, achieving a thoughtful, austere timbre, before a melancholic lead sets the course for a cosmic conclusion. It rounds out an excellent EP from the Phenomena label boss, and preludes more good things to come as we approach the summer season.
