Twelve years, nearly as many genres, and now, a massive milestone, Selador just hit their 200th release.
Label heads Dave Seaman and Steve Parry have officially delivered Selador 200, a three-part remix EP series that’s nothing short of a love letter to their own legacy. It kicks off with 200 EP1, released August 1, and continues with EP2 on August 15 and EP3 landing August 29. Each EP features refreshed versions of six standout tracks from the duo’s individual back catalogs, reimagined by some of the most respected names in the underground circuit.
For this landmark release, they didn’t just pull any old tracks out of the vault. Each selection is tied to the label’s DNA, showcasing the essence of Selador’s sound, from dreamy progressive house to hypnotic techno and everything in between. Kicking things off on 200 EP1, Steve Parry teams up with Four Candles on Mysko, a Swedish word that loosely means “strange” or “mysterious.” Hernan Cattaneo and Mercurio take that definition to heart, layering ethereal textures and shimmering synths over a deep, cruising beat. It feels like you’re speeding down a Scandinavian highway with snow falling sideways in time to the rhythm.
Next up is a heavy-hitter. Dave Seaman’s Heavyweight Residue featuring Thomas Gandey gets a brooding remix from Derun. It’s shadowy, intense, and creeps up on you like a ghost you’re not sure is real until everything explodes at the 1:30 mark. If energy could haunt you, this track would.
Just Her then takes Steve Parry’s Won’t You Believe and flips it into something genre-bending. It’s a track made from the musical equivalent of Lego bricks, breakbeat foundation, melodic synth wheels, trance vocal accents, and a dash of progressive house sprinkled in. It’s the kind of remix that doesn’t just rework a track, it reimagines it.
Closing out EP1 is Two By Two, one of Dave Seaman’s most emblematic tracks, now given a modern sheen by Audio Junkies. With a booming kick, crisp shakers, and a deep bass groove that hits right at the minute mark, the remix is an ideal representation of Selador itself: two minds, two decades, side by side.
But they’re not stopping there. EP2 drops on August 15 and brings in remix work from Elif on Seaman’s Nightfalls, Stereo Underground flipping Waterfloor, Anido reworking Inflammable Contraband, and Pornbugs taking a swing at Fenner.
EP3 lands August 29, closing the curtain on this celebration with Skala remixing Donkey Engine, Dilby transforming Turn Up The Juice, Cortona giving another spin to Heavyweight Residue, and Harald Björk delivering a second version of Waterfloor.
Steve Parry summed it up best: “It’s quite a strange (but great) feeling reaching our 200th release. Selador has always been about Dave and me, our musical output, and the music we love. So it seemed fitting to get sparkly new versions of some of our tracks from artists we admire. The outcome was suitably Selador, genre-spanning, dancefloor-focused, and made to make you smile.”
Selador 200 isn’t just a victory lap, it’s a carefully curated celebration of a label that’s never played it safe, never stood still, and has always kept its heart in the underground. If you’re into house, techno, or anything in the electronic gray zone between, you need to be paying attention this August.
