Various Artists - Selador Decade Volume 1 [Selador]

And if you'll forgive us for sliding, uncharacteristically, into hyperbole, we dare to say: it’s massively magnificent! Our anniversary celebrations centre around a wealth of truly mouth-watering collaborations that we trust will soundtrack the year ahead. So, without further ado, allow us to introduce you to the first batch of runners and riders… 3d (Danny Howells, Darren Emerson, Dave Seaman) ft. Robert Owens: ‘Known Love’

There are few more wondrous sounds in house music than the vocals of the legendary Robert Owens, and we are beyond chuffed to have him on the label, in partnership with our own supergroup 3d. As ever, Robert’s dulcet delivery effortlessly walks that tightrope between melancholy and euphoria on this paean to the travails of love. The 3d team underpin it with a classic bassline and subtle riffing, making this a future contemporary classic.

Olivier Giacomotto x Quivver: ‘Snailblazer’ Heads down and let’s go! for this heavy Franco-Anglo meeting of minds. OG is truly an OG, and when has the sound of Quivver not made you rumble? Let this sonic hammer act as your GPS, whether your destination of choice is right in the centre of the dancefloor, sat precariously by the booming bass bins, or travelling into electronic nirvana through your headphones.

Dave Seaman x Hernan Cattaneo: ‘Napkin Knowledge’ Some collaborations are the result of little more than algorithm manipulation. Others are rooted in deep, long-lasting friendships based on mutual respect and a love of music. You don’t need to guess which category this gem falls into. Picture yourself in your favourite dance space, Dave & Hernan are playing back-to-back - and that beautiful track you’re listening to? It’s right here. Oh, and the title? It references a story Hernan has told many times about a particular piece of DJing knowledge Dave shared with him over 20 years ago on a restaurant napkin in Buenos Aires.

Argia x Jepe: ‘Salitre’ Our next international team-up sees Spain represented by rising star Argia, who we’ve been wanting to get on the label for eons; and Portuguese-born, now Berlin-based Jepe, making a very welcome return to Selador after successfully passing his remix assignments. Our collaborators here chose each other, and it shows in the resulting magic, a sensual builder that wraps you in its blanket of emotive riffs throughout a wonderful eight minutes of life-affirming fare. Selador recordings - since forever!
