Were delighted to welcome Cendryma to the Sunexplosion family with his debut EP Uninstalled Force | Opulence. Hailing from Oregon, USA, Cendryma channels his journey from trance and ambient into a rich progressive house soundscape — one that reflects the misty storms and quiet intensity of the Pacific Northwest. In this release youll find two tracks that are unmistakably his: elegant yet potent, weaving deep grooves with dark atmosphere and airy, almost other-worldly melodic layers. Uninstalled Force and Opulence capture that rare duality — lightness in the textures, weight in the drive. A perfect introduction for Cendryma into the Sunexplosion catalogue.

Making a welcome return to the Proton Music catalogue, Luis León and Unseener are joined by the multi-talented Eleonora as they showcase BTG. A single remix comes from iconic figures, Gai Barone and Luke Brancaccio. Renowned figures within the underground dance fraternity, Luis León and Oscar Paredes (aka Unseener) have been at the vanguard of the Progressive House scene with a series of highly polished productions for some of the most illustrious independent labels. From Manjumasi to Oleeva Records and Nie Wieder Schlafen to Lenfant terrible, almost 300 credits have shone a powerful light over their talent, including a century on Luis own Blankhaus Music. Proton Music has also played a part in that success, not least with the Concorde EP in April 2024. A howitzer of a release with remixes from Petar Dundov and Juan Deminicis, Luis León and Unseener return to Proton alongside the vocal talents of Berlin-based, Eleonora. Widely regarded as one of the most important female producers in the underground dance scene, her production work and vocal talent have graced a slew of A-list imprints including Anjunabeats, KATTERMUKKE and Get Physical Records. Making their collective debut, BTG is a superbly crafted breakbeat extravaganza with superlatively spaced bassline groove and delicate melodic progression. Eleonoras vocals quickly add to the sonic collage in bouncing waves of joy and infectious playful quality. Developing easily over its 4-minute timeframe, the track is a breath of fresh air in a world where a touch of sonic joy goes a long way. Gai Barone & Luke Brancaccio need little introduction to the Progressive House faithful. Both formidable producers in their own rights with a list of credits that totals nearly 1000 between them, their work in solo and collaborative guises for some of the most important underground imprints, has been seen regularly on the likes of Bedrock, Sprout, Renaissance, Balance Music and Lost & Found. A remix of dernis, the kid in mid-2024 marked a Proton Music debut, while the Got to Get it Started EP in July 2025 showcased an original track of the highest order, alongside remixes from Orsen and Michael A. Now returning with a second remix, the Gai Barone & Luke Brancaccio remix is a stunning interpretation that evolves effortlessly over its near 9-minute timeframe with a subtle tribal beat and swathe of stereo-panned effects. Before long, Eleonoras vocals appear front and centre as they float across the deep rhythmic textures. Hitting another level at the breakdown, the introduction of a devastating synth pattern elevates the track further still as it builds in relentless fashion. Dropping into a rousing finale, a hypnotic synth cadence and Eleonoras vocals combine with Luis and Unseeners original elements to create a masterpiece of modern Progressive House. Another gold standard, Luis León, Unseener and Eleonora have mined a powerful piece of electronic music in BTG, further bejewelled by Gai Barone & Luke Brancaccios 24-carat interpretation.

Four Candles and Kabi (AR) team up on the Sofa Surfing EP. UK based Four Candles has risen the ranks in a short time with stand-out releases for Bedrock, Balance Music, Selador, and his own Keep Thinking imprint. A DJ at heart, his sets ooze emotion and melody, making him the go-to DJ of choice. Equally, Kabi (AR) has made his mark with gusto. Releases for everyone from Soundteller to Anjunadeep show his diversity. This is an exciting pairing that thrives on creative, emotion-led storytelling. Opening with Sofa Surfing, we are invited into their deep, vibey world with rubbery bass and expansive pads. Evolving over time, the melodic layers ebb and flow, creating a rich sonic tapestry of warmth and inclusion. On the flipside, Need U begins in a similar fashion: vibey bass, warm synth stabs and sparse percussion. With storytelling at its heart, the melodics soar midway. A sensational partnership in the making for sure.

A Line In The Sand

Were excited to welcome Ultraverse into the onedotsixtwo story with an EP that radiates subtle craft, groove and atmosphere. Vera & Avant-Garde / Mea Astris feels like the work of an artist who understands the power of space and restraint — and how to let music breathe while still pulling a dancefloor forward. Vera & Avant-Garde opens the release with a groovy, stripped-back pulse, all clean percussion, rolling bass movement and beautifully measured detail. Its one of those deceptively simple grooves that quietly locks a room together, letting DJs settle into a perfect late-night flow without ever pushing too hard. Ultraverse leans into nuance and clarity…..and it works. On Mea Astris, he heads into spacey, FX-laden territory, drifting through cosmic pads, echo trails and hypnotic rhythmic patterns. The track feels like a journey inward and outward at once, balancing emotional atmosphere with a deep, low-end drive built for the later hours. To elevate the EP, we pulled in artists who deeply understand the progressive blueprint. For Vera & Avant-Garde, Gorkiz and Fernando Olaya join forces for a true collaborative remix, a seamless blend of their strengths rather than two separate interpretations. Their combined rework feels alive, bouncing ideas between them and building on the originals stripped groove with added colour, movement and dancefloor thrust. Fernandos melodic finesse and Gorkizs percussive instinct meet in the middle, creating a single, unified version that expands the tracks energy while keeping its classy spirit intact. On the flip side, Menkee makes his onedotsixtwo debut with a powerful reimagining of Mea Astris. He takes the originals floating, celestial feel and anchors it with tougher drums, rising tension and that unmistakable peak-time momentum hes known for. It lifts the track into a bigger, bolder, rougher and tougher space, a proper late-night moment. Ultraverse arrives with a background shaped by early inspiration from Nick Warren, Sasha, Hernan Cattaneo, Lee Burridge and Depeche Mode, and years of dedication as A&R for BC2 Records. His music has travelled across respected labels like Balkan Connection, Pro B Tech, Mystique Music, Incepto Deep, BCSA, Bonzai Progressive and more — always marked by a sense of humility, passion and attention to detail. His debut on onedotsixtwo feels like a natural fit: an artist grounded in groove and atmosphere, supported by collaborators who lift the music into new spaces without losing its heart. Vera & Avant-Garde / Mea Astris is a journey from stripped-back groove to cosmic exploration, finishing in full dancefloor ignition — and were proud to share it.

André Monet and D-Nox return for part three of their scintillating collaboration series. Youll be well-versed on André and D-Nox, leaders in their field and growing naturally as a production pairing. Part 3 of their Sessions series sees them continue to solidify, drawing every ounce of creativity from each other. We open with Vale du Sol, a deep melodic groover for the early morning sets. Glorious icy pads and delicate keys create the sonic playground on which sparse drums and piano tell a melancholy tale. Next, Six keeps up the tempo with a deep, bass-led vibe. Coming to life with wonky sonics and melodic percs, Six is an audio melodrama played out in your mind. Finally, Heaven opens with crisp percussion and a broken beat before a huge reese bass drops and arms raise. Drenched in old skool rave personality, the pianos and keys speak to simpler times of joyous dancefloors and naive hope realised through music. Heaven indeed.

Rounding off in fitting style what, if we may humbly say so ourselves, has been a pretty damn stellar year for new tuneage emanating from Selador HQ …its the oh so welcome return of a stalwart of the label, a soldier of the scene, and all-round ace human, the one and only… Just Her. And its double bubble time, as Claires musical gift to mankind is not one, but two surefire festive favourites. However, much like Slade recorded Merry Xmas Everybody on a sweltering summers day in NYC, our winter wonderland tale starts back in the heady days of August – as the Selador Boat Party cruised the Adriatic during the much lauded (and inaugural) Balance Croatia festival. As Just Hers set reached an especially exhilarating crescendo, both Steve and Dave simply had to know what one particular track was. Claire advised it was new; it was one of her own called Secrets, and it was currently unsigned – 10 seconds later, it was very much signed, sold to the men with the bunny logo. One listen to this beauty, by turns tough as old boots and effortlessly euphoric, and youll soon see why. Sister track Floating Clouds then joined the party, bringing another equally infectious addendum to proceedings. With its incessant arp gliding hypnotically over punchy bass and whip cracker percussion, its not just here to make up the numbers, its a serious contender for your favourite track of the release. So pick a winner. The choice is yours. Were just trading secrets with our heads in the clouds x Team Selador x
