ALL CHANGE FOR CERTIFIED AMSTER-DAMAGE
|
|
Due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, we need to announce a change of venue for our Seladoria party at the Amsterdam Dance Event this coming Saturday, October 19th. A few weeks ago, we were informed that our original venue - where we’ve held our last two memorable ADE events - encountered licensing issues that would impose sound restrictions, making it impossible for us to deliver the party we envisioned. However, in what feels like divine intervention from the party gods, we’ve miraculously secured a last-minute replacement venue (which, given it’s ADE weekend in Amsterdam with only two weeks’ notice, is nothing short of a miracle), and we believe it might just be even better!
So the Selador ADE party, in collaboration with Casa Productions, will now be held at Loods 12, running from 4PM to 3AM on Saturday, October 19th. The core line-up remains as planned with Dave Seaman, Danny Howells, Anthony Pappa, Steve Parry, and Cris-H, now also joined by Redfreya, Paul Sparkes, Jaap Ligthart and The Wash for an 11 hour extravaganza of celebration, mischief and revelry.
We are almost sold out, so if you’d like to join in the fun, be quick!
See you on the dance floor!

BOSSES GO HEAD 2 HEAD WITH QUINTESSENTIAL QUARTET
|
|
The latter part of 2024 has seen boss men Parry & Seaman not only at the helm of all things Selador, but also dominating our release schedule as they distil the very essence of “house, techno and all flavours in between” across a series of essential releases. After summer nights were soundtracked by the Aikon and Denney remixes of Dave’s ‘Hold On’ magnum opus featuring the vital vox of Shola Phillips, Ste took up the mantle with a long overdue but well worth waiting for solo outing in the shape of ‘Won’t You Believe?’ (with a tasty Dachsund remix for good measure). Like Lennon & McCartney egging each other on to ever greater heights, Dave upped the ante with ‘Two By Two’ - pure jackin’ magic with an unrelenting “two by two, side by side” vocal hook that stays with you for days... until Alican then popped up with his sizzling slice of 21st century mesmeric electro-disco remix. Unabashed, Steve hits back with ‘Turn Up the Juice’, already described as an “anthem” by none other than Hot Since 82, and Dave conceding it to be Steve’s “best ever piece of work” What comes next? All bets are off!
Nurse, my pills!

ACID HOUSE FOREVER AND EVER!
|
|
Not just a celebratory clarion call, but also, in our humble opinion, the finest club culture-centric playlist on that there internet.
A moveable feast of exactly 1,000 tracks celebrating the music, the scene, the culture we all love. And we dig deep to curate a mix that goes waaaaay beyond those ten-a-penny ‘house / techno / disco / balearic classics’ selections.
After leaving our baby to fend for itself in the wild for just a tad too long, we’ve just completed a major update. 100 tracks make their AHF debuts.
While this playlist is absolutely made for shuffling (in both senses of the word), we’ve stuck most of the newbies up top. Tunes 1-40 are inspired by the recent National Poetry Day here in the UK – a choice selection of spoken word gems... 41-80 sees AHF at its melting pot best... and then another bunch of first timers are dotted around the place waiting to be discovered and enjoyed.
Acid House Forever. A Music Lovers’ Playlist. Made for Sharing.

Watching – Colin From Accounts - The long awaited second season of this brilliantly written, laugh-out-loud Aussie sitcom. Superb.
Listening to – ‘Everything Above The Sky’- Astral Traveling with Luke Una. Another masterfully compiled, off-the-beaten-track collection from Luke, this time adopting an esoteric laid-back daytime vibe. Poolside flavours.
Reading - Neneh Cherry ‘A Thousands Threads’ - I’ve been eagerly waiting this memoir for months. Got so much love and respect for Queen Neneh!
Steve is:
Reading – I’m looking forward to digging into my copy of ‘Hacienda - Threads’. As Peter Hook says, “The music. The fashion. The nights. The people. The love. These are the threads that came together to make the Haçienda great”.
Watching – Slow Horses! It’s great to have this back. I absolutely love it.
Listening to – Heartbeat Of The Dancefloor podcast that I’ve just been informed about. 15 episodes of 70s and 80s NYC dancefloor history from the people who made it happen.
The Seladorian is:
Reading – What Happened, Miss Simone? – Alan Light’s essential biography of my favourite singer.
Watching – Top Dog, yet another fine Scandi drama, from the producers of The Bridge, a recommendation from C4’s ever-reliable Walter Presents selection.
