Lonya (and SNYL) – Ultimate Sin / Synthetic Dreams

(SEL 196)

Release date: 9/5/25

It’s become a bit of a tradition down Selador way that our much-loved Showcase releases produce break out tracks that generate a right old buzz and get a stand-alone release. And lo, it’s Lonya’s turn to join that select company.

‘Ultimate Sin’ first saw the light of day on the mixed version of our Showcase 20 release, premiered by a somewhat excited Dave Seaman & Anthony Pappa. Instantly turning heads and leading to oodles of “when can I get my hands on that beauty?” messages pinging their way to HQ, rather than release it on one of the subsequent unmixed EPs, we challenged Lonya to give us another track of equal stature to create a dynamite double header.

Not only did he do just that, but he only went and roped in his pal SNYL. The resulting collab ‘Synthetic Dreams’ is a propulsive, acid-peppered call to dancefloor action. The very definition of heads down, let’s go business as a mesmeric vocal wail sits atop an hypnotic groove that just doesn’t let go. Synthetic by name, but as real as electronic music gets in nature.

And ‘Ultimate Sin’? All we can say is, if you’re familiar with Dave and Anthony’s mix, you know what’s coming, and will be suitably bubbling over with anticipation. And if not…well folks, a sonic treat awaits. Just let the riff draw you in, pull you all over the shop, and take up residence in your twisted but oh so grateful cranium. Masterful.
