After a trilogy of releases under the Decade umbrella which celebrated their 10th anniversary, Selador return to their mainline Magic Black Plastic series with another EP featuring a quartet of gems cherry picked from the label’s recent output. Volume 5 lands with the much lauded Clavis remix of Charles Webster & Ursula Rucker’s ‘Begin Anew leading from the front, followed swiftly in its slipstream by the majestic 'Other Side' by TIMANTI & Just Her. Label boss Dave Seaman then takes up the mantle aided and abetted by Thomas Gandey on vocals for the lo-slung, bass heavy 'Heavyweight Residue' and last but by no means least, Robert Babicz provides some serious rear guard action, courtesy of the downright cosmic James Harcourt remix of 'Red'. Magic Black Plastic Volume 5... Four more Selador essentials for your delight and delectation. From House to Techno and all flavours in between.

The sophomore offering in the Selador’s Decade series brings together four more collaboration tracks featuring nine more artists all working in tandem in celebration of the label’s 10 year anniversary.

Kicking off proceedings, Selador co-founder Dave Seaman and long time friend Quivver’s latest creation. Having been in a rich vein of form recently collaborating on releases for the likes Sum Over Histories, Mobilee, Poker Flat and Einmusika, ‘Rapid Unscheduled Assembly’ is a relentless peak timer roller that’s not to be missed.

Next up, in demand Isreali producer Magit Cacoon joins the Selador fold alongside our old friend Lonya with a label debut to be reckoned with - let the Quantumania commence.

On the flip, like a long-lost love child of Lil Louis’ ‘French Kiss’ and Pete Lazenby’s ‘Sacred Cycles’, the titanic trio of Hannes Bieger x Luke Brancaccio x Gai Barone have created something truly special here. A timeless beauty for the ages.

Last but not least, the label’s other co-founder Steve Parry joins forces with Brazilian luminary Renato Cohen, finding common ground in their shared love of pulsating basslines and classic 303 acid squelch. From Liverpool to Sao Paolo and back via ‘Marmalade Skies’.

DJ support Doc Martin, John Digweed, Sasha, Giza Djs, Frankey & Sandrino, Eelke Kleijn, Joyce Muniz, Yotto, Oc & Verde, James Harcourt, Timo Maas

Another quartet of gems, Selador’s latest 12" vinyl outing, once again in our tasty new house bag, brings together four of the label’s most popular digital releases of recent months.

We open with another majestic piece of work from Brazil’s techno don Renato Cohen. This huge remix keeps the peak time spirit of Steve Parry’s evergreen What You Make It very much intact – but then turns it up to 11 with a muscular new interpretation. Big!

House music royalty, Charles Webster then delivers a psychedelic electro gem of a re-rub of Dave Seaman favourite Racket Abuse. Tripped out genius that makes maximum use of the original version’s mind-bending vocal hook and reached Number One on Beatport’s Electro Chart.

Next, Progressive House Don Anthony Pappa teams up with Electronic production guru and fellow Australian, Jamie Stevens for Here We Go, a dark yet uplifting, tribal workout that was one of the label’s best sellers of 2021.

And finally, Barcelona-Berlin soundclash alert! Two of our favourite electronic music epicentres are represented with former F1 driver Jamie Alguersuari, aka Squire at the wheel, and sonic wizard Hannes Bieger on remix duty. ‘True Religion’ is a thing of rare timeless beauty. A true gem.

UK-based DJ and producer Wallace debuts on Phantasy Sound with an irresistible double A-side single, ‘Cravings (ft. Love Letters) / Concourse.’ Bubbling with sensuality and euphoria, both tracks reinforce Wallace’s burgeoning reputation as one of electronic music’s most impressive new voices, a crowning moment on Erol Alkan’s long-running label following a stellar run of singles for imprints including Cooking With Palms Trax, Rhythm Section, and Moxie's much-loved On Loop. Led by a longing, inquisitive performance from vocalist and underground house music luminary, Love Letters, ‘Cravings’ builds from a simple throbbing bass line to an eruption of lyrical and musical joy. Exploring onset desire – risk, uncertainty, and ultimately, reward – Wallace’s deep and celebratory arrangement interweaves with Love Letters’ queer perspective to deliver universal satisfaction. While ‘Cravings’ looks inward to find release, ‘Concourse’ goes for the jugular with a darker, more epic sensibility than Wallace has previously indulged. His flawless production touch seamlessly gifts magic to a widescreen techno epic that might not sound out of place on the terrace at Circoloco or else a field near early-nineties Frankfurt, repeatedly working his acid-oriented machines into a lather and conjuring cosmic drama from eerie, choral voices beneath a powerful groove.

Seth Troxler’s Slacker 85 imprint prepares to expand its repertoire of ne’er do wells and inspired outsiders, with two new singles shining a flashlight on talent at the characteristically esoteric producers on the fringes of Troxler’s always increasing circles. American-Ecuadorian sound engineer and musician Andre Salmon has already left his fingerprints on underground dance music’s global scene, developing the current iteration of Inner City with Kevin Saunderson, as well as collaborating with house icons Paul Johnson and K’Alexi Shelby. Having already made a fixture of his supremely effective ‘Heartless’ mashup of Saint Etienne’s classic ‘Only Love Can Break Your Heart’, Slacker now welcomes Salmon to the family to exercise his studio technique and ‘sacred resonance’ deepness. The result is ‘La Mano de Dios’, a voluminous dance on the edge of house and techno, as smooth and impressive as the jets descending above the Terrace at DC10. From Detroit to the East Coast, TB-203 delivers a contrasting energy on ‘Movin’. A fresh alias of NYC DJ, producer & label owner Tommy Bones, this bubbling, raw acid workout finds fresh heat at the intersection of jackin’ hip house and latin freestyle, driven by loose and lively vocals from DannyP. Underscoring Slacker 85’s commitment to party over posture, ‘Movin’ has been tried and tested to deliver on its old-school promise.

Together, these remixes take the original to new heights, bringing pure pleasure to the deepest and darkest dancefloors.

Artist, producer, DJ and cultural trailblazer Peggy Gou returns with her latest single “Find The Way” on Gudu Records. The first new track since the release of her debut album I Hear You, this latest single builds on her recent sonic terrain. Making a midsummer bid for song of the season, on “Find The Way” Gou addictively blends her featherlight breezy vocals with a balmy, technicolour 90s house beat lush with mellow keys, acid tinged synths and hypnotic basslines. 2024 has been a huge year for Gou already with the release of her hotly-anticipated debut album I Hear You on XL Recordings in June. Alongside glowing reviews from The Observer, NME, The Line of Best Fit and more, she’s also graced the covers of Billboard (US), Vogue Germany and L’Officiel Italia. A huge year for her in the live arena too, having played to over a million people in 2023, 2024 has seen a string of high-profile appearances at the likes of the Coachella, Ultra, EDC and Primavera festivals alongside a headline slot on Glastonbury’s Park Stage.
