#52 Feat. Staff Picks in Melodic House & Techno

Oh lordee!!! As if Daves Two By Two wasnt already humungous enough, hot on the heels of the barnstorming original comes the equally magnificent Alican remix. We said the vocal hook brought to mind Divines seminal proto-houser Native Love, and we suspect our guest may have felt the same, as there are definitely traces of the trademark early 80s Bobby O production style in this peak time workout. This sizzling slice of 21st century mesmeric electro-disco further showcases our man from Istanbuls wide-ranging talents, as displayed not only on his Selador outing Montroze las year, but also on recent releases for the likes of Innervisions, Kompakt and Get Physical. Like all the best remixes, its the perfect wingman to the Original. Get it down ya! Team Selador – Double trouble!

#59 Feat. Staff Picks in Melodic House & Techno

Dave Seaman – Two By Two In the blurb for our new releases, we like to meander down the road less travelled when it comes to our choice of bon mots. We strain every sinew to come up with descriptions that do justice to the aural treats we are celebrating. However, sometimes you hear a tune, and it just blows yer socks off, rendering you uncharacteristically speechless. All you can muster is over-used, vacuous platitudes like anthem alert or absolute banger which, funnily enough, brings us to a case in point. Daves new Selador offering Two By Two grabs you eagerly by the hand and drags you to the floor from the off, sticks yer head in the nearest speaker stack, and cries Lets goooo!! – and you remain in thrall to its pounding magnificence for nigh on six minutes. The opening bassline motif is pure jackin magic, and when the insanely memorable, and ever so slightly unearthly two by two, side by side vocal hook enters the fray, all bets are off. These elements are the foundation stones around which assorted riffage is woven. There are few brews more potent on 2024 peak time dancefloors. Oh, and for long time fans of Daves work, we reckon its a bit like Buzzfuzzle meets The Mighty Ming, aided and abetted by a vocal reminiscent of Divines classic Native Love. And if that doesnt whet your appetite enough to press play without delay, heaven knows what will. Team Selador – Two is the magic number x
