DAVE SEAMAN — Mirrorball Sleaze LP

Dave Seaman – Mirrorball Sleaze LP arrives on Selador Recordings as catalogue SELV017, a 12-inch vinyl that gathers eleven pieces into two continuous sides. The release, slated for 6 November 2026, is presented as the producer’s first full-length artist album, stitching together fresh material and re-imagined moments from a career that began in the early days of acid house. Its blend of electronica and ambient textures positions the record as both a reflective anthology and a forward-looking statement from a figure still active on the club circuit. Within Selador’s recent output, Mirrorball Sleaze follows the label’s earlier outings SELV016 by Danny Howells (Godsexy) and SELV015 by Seaman himself (Nightfalls), both released earlier in 2026. It also sits after the 2025 volumes of the Magic Black Plastic series (SELV014, SELV013) and the 2023 Selador Decade Volume 1 (SELV008). This placement underscores the label’s commitment to deep, melodic dance music and highlights Seaman’s ongoing dialogue with his peers on the Selador platform. Side A opens with “Loco Hermoso” featuring DJ Paul, a Poolside Mix that sets a sultry tone, followed by the “Thonk!” Mirrorball Re-Rub which pushes the momentum forward. The third track, “Rapscallion’s Revenge” (Mind Body Soul Revision), adds a darker edge before the title piece “Mirrorball Sleaze” (Freedrumapella) offers a stripped-back, almost meditative interlude. The side closes with “Nightfalls” featuring Gaelle Adisson in a Sunrise Mix, a track that lifts the mood toward a brighter, euphoric climax, mirroring the progression from deep grooves to luminous ambience. Side B continues the journey with “Rockets & Rainbows” alongside Quivver and Brianna Price (Under the Sun Mix), a piece that bridges the previous side’s energy into a more expansive soundscape. “Heavyweight Residue” featuring Thomas Gandey (Mirrorball Re-Rub) re-introduces a weighty, driving pulse, while “Everything Comes In Threes” with One Million Toys (Magic Number Remix) adds a playful, rhythmic twist. The penultimate track, “Promise You” with AIKON (Mirrorball Revision), offers a reflective moment before “So Damn Beautiful” featuring Poloroid (Widescreen Mix) expands the atmosphere into a cinematic sweep. The record concludes with “Under The Knowledge” alongside Hernan Cattaneo, Nunchi Coup and Yulanda, a closing that ties together the album’s thematic arc with a sense of resolution. In the context of Seaman’s discography, Mirrorball Sleaze builds on the earlier Selador release Nightfalls (SELV015) and revisits collaborations that have defined his output, such as work with Gaelle Adisson and Thomas Gandey. The album’s structure—two seamless sides—echoes the long-form mixes that have been a hallmark of his DJ sets, while the inclusion of revisions and remixes highlights his practice of re-contextualising past material for new audiences. For DJs, the record offers a ready-made narrative flow: the A-side can serve as an extended intro or peak-time build, its seamless segues facilitating back-to-back mixing. The B-side provides a palette of moods—from the sun-lit optimism of “Rockets & Rainbows” to the deeper, groove-focused “Heavyweight Residue”—making it suitable for both peak and after-hours slots. Collectors will appreciate the album’s comprehensive scope, presenting a curated cross-section of Seaman’s oeuvre in a single, cohesive vinyl statement. The release is pressed as a standard 12-inch vinyl, with all eleven tracks sequenced to flow without interruption, split across the two sides. This format respects the listening experience that the artist envisioned, allowing the record to function both as a DJ tool and as an immersive listening piece.
