Raise the alarm! Sound the Essential Tunes Klaxon!! (adopts Manc drawl): Call the Cops!!! Yes siree, 'tis true – the inimitable D-Nox and Beckers are back on Selador! And they have a special guest in tow! The Dynamic Deutsche Duo has delivered several stellar contributions to the Seladorian catalogue – and this latest double-header is a very welcome and characteristically powerful return, with Lexer the cherry on the icing on the collab cake. 'True Peak' is true peak time (but of course). It rocks straight from the off, as a burbling bassline explodes out of the starting blocks, all mean, moody and magnificent. Slowly but oh-so surely it is aided and abetted by a veritable plethora of memorable hooks, starting with a breathy snatched vocal, building to a keyboard riff from the techno gods. Uh-oh! Lexer has been added to the squad, and all bets are off. 'Conquista' is set to conquer all in its path. Everything about this tune will make you smile broadly and shake yer hips without even realising. From the so infectious congo-esque intro via the jittering one note riff, funky percussive frills and squelchy bassline to the ravemungous hands in the air crescendo, it's a dancefloor call to arms.

You can't keep a good man down. Or should that be, you can't keep a God man shut down? Er, no it shouldn't actually – we don't need to resort to painful punnery or woeful wordplay here (much as it can provide an entertaining diversion). This is DANNY HOWELLS we be talking about – you know it's gonna be beyond essential, you just want us to tell you how far beyond, and why. GodSexy (the best unused track title in Prince's sadly now dormant Future Titles notebook) throbs and bounces in all the right places. Positively sprightly whilst also oozing depth, it unveils itself layer after beautiful layer. In true Howells style, it sits alone and imperious in a world above and beyond mere genres, sonically cerebral yet simultaneously 100\%\% dancefloor ready. Urgently uplifting, inspirationally intense. Shut Down is House Heaven meets Danny Does Disco in characteristically off-kilter (and peerless) fashion. Driven by a twisted percussive loop and a seductive vocal sample, aided and abetted by hypnotically funky guitar licks and lush chords that duck and dive like the (original) Artful Dodger, it's all about the tension between analogue evangelism and digital futurism. Yowsah. Team Selador – we'll be here in sunshine or in shadow, oh Danny Boy, oh Danny Boy, we love you so!

Fresh from his awesome Seladorian debut 'Away Loss' on our recent Showcase 22 collection, London's finest Zucassam is back in double quick time to melt your dancefloors once more. 'Flip No' is, to put it simply, immense. Real old school 80s Chicago jackin' vibes (think Adonis, Bam Bam et al) are aided and abetted by rumbunctious ravey stabs, all building to a powerful progtastic crescendo. A punch has rarely been so packed. Partner in crime 'Jomi' is equally invigorating. A dark, minimal intro gradually gives way to wonderfully euphoric riffage – imagine you're dancing heads down in the dark, the light begins to creep in, and before you know it, you're greeting a beautiful sunrise. 'Jomi' does that in 8 minutes! On remix duties, Selador debutant and Bedrock / Renaissance alumni Derderwandert twists the original's key riff in a darker direction without losing any of its uplifting edge and adds snappy vocal inserts for good measure. He then spoils us with a bonus deep dubby excursion. Team Selador – Flippin' 'eck!
