The Selador family goes pan-global once again, with our latest continent-spanning release
being the result of a pandemic induced collaboration between Carlos Barbero (Panama)
and Enes Çakir (Turkey), with Germany’s Jepe and Ede (Turkey, currently based in
Germany) on remix duties. All are making their Selador debuts, and we couldn’t be
happier.
Of course, Messrs Seaman & Parry always have ears and eyes permanently open for
forward thinking new music, be it on their DJ travels or during a pandemic – and this single
is proof that we are a label that does listen to demos. Be it via email, Whats App or
Messenger, the Selador is never closed.
Carlos has been building himself quite a reputation in Central America, sharing club and
festival stages with the likes of Re.You, Anja Schneider, Oliver Koletzki whilst Enes runs
the Dawgs Musik company in Istanbul for events and podcasts, and has played alongside
the likes of James Zabiela, Timo Maas – and Dave Seaman. It was a perfect case of
isolation creation when the two hooked up during lockdown to make ‘Wake Up’, inviting
Seher K to add the cherry on top
.
All three interpretations feature Seher’s breathy vocal, pleasingly acidic squelchiness, and
just the right amount of electronic menace.
Carlos and Enes’ Original mix has a metallic sheen, with competing hooks but everything
in the right place as the sonic stars align
.
Jepe’s remix opens with the thud of a powerful kick drum and a psycho killer bassline, and
takes us deeper, with the vocal more imposing in the mix
.
Ede’s mix, by contrast, is a funky breaks- driven acidic builder, an ethereal vibe set by the
snatched vocal samples, a Mediterranean vibe
.
