Steve Parry – Won’t You Believe?
Includes Dachshund remix
(SEL 185)
Release date: 16/08/24

It is, of course, no surprise that there Selador catalogue is peppered with stellar contributions from Da Boss (job share) Steve Parry. Indeed, many of them are undoubtedly among our finest moments – tracks like ‘Fenner’, ‘303V’ and ‘Squidfist’ are both close to our hearts and the signal for serious dancefloor carnage whenever dropped.

Over the last couple of years, Steve has focused on some choice collabs – among them his ‘Marmalade Skies’ hook up with Renato Cohen, one of the label’s biggest tunes in The Year of Big Tunes that was our 10th birthday; while the Nunchi Coup team up with partner Dave Seaman produced a trio of big hitters that racked up the streams.

However, Steve’s last solo outing was (checks notes…) – 2020?! Parry, you lazy &*£*&$!!! Anyway, “we’ll deal with that internally”. The good news is that while the follow-up to that year’s mighty double header of ‘Roll the Dice’ and ‘What You Make It’ may fall into the “long awaited” bracket, it certainly fits the “worth the wait” bill. In true Ste Pazza style, it morphs genres for fun – it’s deep but squelchily acidic, heads down progmungous but with the catchiest of ‘light touch’ vocal hooks, all riding atop a techno train.

Meanwhile, we’re delighted to usher another label debutant through the door marked ‘so delighted to have you on board’ – yes sireee, Dachshund is in the building. What’s more, he delivers a remix which does what too many re-rubs don’t do – it acknowledges and utilises key elements from the original version. However, it does so while effortlessly blending in a plethora of fresh riffage, from the melodic to the klangtastic. Bullseye.

Team Selador – You better believe it!
