SELADOR 200 | | It seems only fitting that the 200th Release Project features 12 brand new and exclusive remixes of classic tracks by Selador’s two bossmen, Dave Seaman & Steve Parry, reworked courtesy of friends old and new. Six of Dave’s and six of Steve’s. ‘A Sonic smorgasbord?’, we hear you ask? Not ‘arf! In short, it’s what Selador has been doing from releases 1 to 199, with added birthday vim and vigour. We invite you to savour and enjoy our dirty dozen across 3 EPs dropping across August. Strike One! Aug 1st sees a UK vs Argentina soundclash as Hernan Cattaneo & Mercurio get to grips with the Steve Parry & Four Candles collab ‘Mysko’ ... Derun’s mean, moody & magnificent take on Dave Seaman feat. Thomas Gandey ‘Heavyweight Residue’...a characteristically magical Just Her re-rub on Steve’s ‘Won’t You Believe’ ...and the quartet rounded off with Audio Junkies’ pulsating, pumping, percussive remix on Dave’s ‘Two by Two’. Strike Two! On the 15th, Elif’s celestial keys lead the way on a revision of Dave’s ‘Nightfalls’... Stereo Underground’s take on Steve’s ‘Waterfloor’ is equal parts eerie and enticing… Anido on Dave’s ‘Inflammable Contraband’ sees 90s raves feels put through the 21st century mincer…and Pornbugs serve up an urgent, high octane adaptation of Steve’s inimitable ‘Fenner’. Strike Three! ...and on the 29th, the trilogy is completed in style with Skala’s terrifically tribal and twisted remix of Dave’s ‘Donkey Engine’...the multi-layered beast that is Dilby on Steve’s ‘Turn Up The Juice’ …Cortona’s epic techno-fuelled workout on a second appearance for ‘Heavyweight Residue’...and it’s double top for ‘Waterfloor’ too with wonky riffs galore jamming in perfect unison courtesy of Harald Björk’s reworking. | | MAXIMUM AMSTERDAM-AGE! | | Our annual Seladoria party at ADE has become an essential cog in the event’s always storied line up in recent years, and this October we take it up yet another level. In conjunction with our trusted partners Casa Productions, we will be dropping anchor at Veronica Schip, and in keeping with its piratical roots, our very own Able Seaman and Cap’n Parry, alongside our regular ‘dam ship mates Paul Sparkes and Cris H, welcome heavyweight selectors Superflu and Frankey & Sandrino on board as we set sail for dancefloor nirvana. Not to be missed, me hearties. | | SELADORIA ON MANOEUVRES | | Prior to the ADE pilgrimage, and what with us being in celebratory mood and all that, we have a quartet of stupendous parties we’d like to invite you to as well. You bring the cake; we’ve got the tunes sorted care of a series of stellar selectors you know and love. The essential diary dates are as follows: August 3rd — Skyline. Glasgow. Dave & Steve playing host to Danny Howells, Rodriguez Jr (hybrid live set) and Just Her. You know the drill. Book Monday off work. Buy tickets August 16th — Ibiza 528 has been the talk of Ibiza this summer, and Dave, Anthony Pappa and Pete Gooding can’t wait to entertain you there next month. It’s a Selador Takeover! Vamos! Buy tickets September 6th — Guernsey It’s only a Seladorian debut for the living legend that is Mr. Nick Warren, teaming up with Dave & Steve and Guernsey’s One Fine Day crew on the beautiful idyllic island of Herm. Buy tickets September 27th — Liverpool All roads lead to Liverpool as we hook up with the 909 team for a day / night party at Wav, with Anthony Pappa and Redfreya joining the boss men on the team sheet. Buy tickets | AND FINALLY... | Steve is: reading – The Highway Code, as our eldest is revising for the driving theory test (i’ve learnt a lot haha) watching - Nine Perfect Strangers (series 2) - Nicole Kidman plays a wellness guru, based in the Austrian Alps, using a combination of psychedelics and CCTV. Bonkers! listening to – Selador 200 of course - 12 wonderful new remixes of tracks from myself and my musical other half! The Seladorian is: reading – No Way Back. Sub-titled accurately if a little verbosely ‘Resurfacing Long-Lost Subculture and Music Journalism from 1977-1989’, this is a brilliantly simple idea – licensing classic music mag features, compilation album style. Hopefully the first of many. watching – after completing Steve’s recommendation from last month, Department Q, it’s time to binge on the final series of both Squid Game and The Bear listening to – the new Kae Tempest album, Self-Titled. A truly phenomenal artist. Dave is: reading – I wish! watching – Chance would be a fine thing :/ listening to – Nope. Not even that. I’m run the middle of a house move. Normal service will be resumed next month. Hopefully! |
