the fourth release of selva discos is one that has been bursting audiences into flames for a good while. barbatuques, a well-known brazilian group of body percussionists, adapted -baiana&#769,,,,,,,,,,,,- back in 2005 (first released on the -o seguinte e&#769,,,,,,,,,,,, esse- album) and since then it became a staple of their concerts, getting crazy reactions from the children to the elder, being featured on soundtracks and sampled by trap duo tropkillaz. the original is a modern folk song from bahia composed by maria do carmo barbosa, but it was the mouth harp sound and the stomping beat on the barbatuques arrangement that imprinted its trademark sound - like the first lightning strikes before the storm. a couple of years ago, jan schulte, the german producer known for his taste for tropical drums (and also for using a few different aliases), heard the song and decided to add an extra punch to it for his dj sets: more drums, taken from a library record of -drumdrops- (hence the title). in his appearance at 2017 s dekmantel boiler room stage as bufiman, he dropped it to the crowd s awe, and it s been like that wherever its played - believe it, it s been tested all around. so now for the first time -baiana&#769,,,,,,,,,,,,- is issued on vinyl. it marks the second volume of the brasingles series, a new series on selva discos dedicated to releasing loud 12- singles with the original song on the a side and a rework on the b side, to please both the dj and the listener.

repress - with vocal interplay recalling the temptations’ work with norman whitfield and a jazzy instrumental sophistication equal to the blackbyrds, 100% pure poison certainly deserve the notoriety that their lone recording has garnered them. as a group of american servicemen stationed in germany in the ’70s, it’s amazing that the album was recorded at all. leaving their base using a forged pass, the nine-piece group turned up at a music industry conference looking for a recording deal, and proving that the higher the risk involved, the greater the payoff, they got one with british emi.
although coming right at you was largely overlooked at the time of its release in 1974, it never really faded away, consistently being revived and heralded as much for its rarity as its quality. guitarist and group leader danny leakereturned home to chicago, where he has worked as an engineer and producer with a wide array of artists, including stevie wonder and janet jackson. coming right at you was made widely available again when it was finally reissued by u.k. label soul brother.

for their seventh issue, adams bite have tapped italian dj and producer, christopher ledger. his work has steadily risen to the top over the past five or six years, honing in on a reduced style favoured by intimate dancefloors throughout europe. for his most recent output, ledger draws upon more muscular, more urgent matter altogether. his encyclopedic knowledge of dance musics hidden corners reverberates strongly within these five tracks. find echoes of the fledgling roman rave scene in its heavy drumwork, whilst the trance-infused synths recall the hazy glory days of mid-nineties elba. all touched up and bound together by a thoroughly modern approach to sound design and floor awareness. ledger carries his italian heritage on his sleeve, and although many of the calling cards might appear obscured to the uninitiated, those familiar with his craft will find more to love with every rotation. pass this gate and discover the depth at your own risk.

taevalaotus & joel tammik - both artists featured on this release have been making music since the early 2000s. they have for long entered the endless realm of analog synthesizers and embraced hardware focused creation. the source material for this collaboration was recorded on a single weekend and meticulously arranged into this four-track ep during a year that followed. whether complex chord textures, deep analog bass or soaring pads - it is all fused into the tracks with minimalism at its core, allowing you to take some time off and drift deep into the world of the idm and electronica. lastly, a dub interpretation of the title-track >sfäärid< by aural imbalance shifts down a gear and allows your mind to move even deeper into almost a hypnotic state, perfectly rounding out the material captured on this ep.

from radiohead to bonobo, from kid loco to fakear, we selected for you the most beautifull down tempo music from the 90’s to today. original versions remastered on triple vinyl in a collectors box.

repress - part 2 of 5 to be released over the coming couple of months. originally released on the phono label in 1995/96 the ‘parts’ series from matthew herbert are a much loved collection of house tracks that sound just as original and bold today as they did when they were first released. this series of 12”s were part of an early wave of exploratory dance music that paved the way for the deep house that still works its magic on dance-floors in 2018 some 25 years later. the mix of herbert’s playfulness alongside expertly grooving production and unusual sounds makes this unique collection of work. the odd few tracks aside this is the first time that these releases have ever been repressed. all newly remastered for this reissue series, the releases include stone cold club classics such as ‘deeper’, ‘take me back’, ‘resident’, ‘people that make the music’ and ‘see you on monday’.

2022 repress - invisible city returns with the hotly anticipated reissue of amajovi jovi by durban’s o.g. kwaito giant, sandy b. originally self-released on cassette and a white label 12”, rumour has it sandy had to remake the tracks from memory because even he couldn’t find a copy. . in its original post-apartheid context, amajovi jovi was a sign of youthful subversiveness, rebellious creativity and a neck snapping rejection to the fascist groove of a silenced nation. while the pantsulla hustler nods to house legends like jamie principle and pal joey, its hip hop breaks and interludes show a clear affection for snoop dogg’s doggystyle. at its slowed down tempo however, this low-fi kwaito masterpiece turns away from its american influence and looks towards baldelli and his cosmos. best of all are sandy’s vocals— deep, melodic zulu rap, sung flippantly—the way that only a true gangster could. it now stands as one of the finest glimpses of 90s party music to ever be blasted at the underground parties of the south african townships. a huge fave of jamie tiller, tako and ice, we are proud to present a limited vinyl and cassette reissue from one of the godfathers of kwaito. remastered and restored from the original cassette tape. designed by zeitype.

afterhours. is back with ukrainian underground talent silat beksi. as expected, the 3-tracker appropriately named -transend ep- displays a fine selection of stripped-down music prone to dancefloor introspection. the title track transend shows silat s talent for creating steady, bare-boned grooves, filling the sonic space with menacing atmospheres, chopped vocals and bizarre modular squelches. flipside s monoliza follows the same stable groove principle but applies quirky sound-design techniques reminiscent of the golden ages of microhouse for an added swing. elephant dream , the ep s closing track, swaps the four-by-four rhythms with breakbeat-infused constructions, adding just the right amount of sway for its deeply floating atmosphere.
