New year, new tunes, new benchmarks, new heights.

What a start to Selador’s twelfth (count ‘em) year. We were delighted when Dilby debuted for us recently with the vocal gem ‘Give It Up Again’, a standout feature on our recent Showcase 20 compilation – and we’re doubly delighted (verging on overcome, frankly) to follow it up in double quick time with this essential EP.

The Berlin-based Kiwi straddles genres effortlessly, and subsequently finds his tunes in the boxes of a wide variety of DJs. This stellar selection will no doubt follow suit.

We kick things off with ‘Sacred Ground’ a majestic roller with a classic ‘90s feel that hits the spot in all the right places before dropping to a distinctive ‘dread’ vocal. ‘Closer’ then steps up with its rolling percussive intro paving the way for duelling riffs, a real early ‘00s classy heads down vibe for this one. And our titanic triptych is completed by the aforementioned ‘Give It Up Again’, which is more than worthy of another trip round the block as a reminder of its undeniable potency.

Essential 2025 tackle.
