MYKONOS, 7 Aug
Dave Seaman 'Nightfalls' on Selador
Every release from the Selador camp is an event in and of itself. Dave Seaman's 'Nightfalls' has been selected as the label's eighth release of 2026 (so far), and this time Dilby steps up with a remix that brings the track to life all over again.
'Nightfalls' has been something of a secret weapon in Dave's sets of late, and it's not hard to hear why. The original, written by Seaman himself, has that classic sound that has been drawing people to the dancefloor for decades. Dilby's remix is a masterclass in restraint and mood, with a settled drum pattern and plenty of air in the top end. It's a temperate piece of work with a fair amount of give under the peaks, letting the harmony breathe and the groove do its work.
Selador themselves say: "If you've been lucky enough to hear Dave play live recently, you will have heard an old favourite tune enthusiastically pulling back the curtains, blinking at the sun, having a good stretch, and returning to the fray for '26 in majestic, remixed fashion."
It's a fitting description. 'Nightfalls' has been charted by Sultan + Shepard, who placed it third on their Centuries Chart on 4 Aug, and it's easy to see why. With the season in full swing in both Mykonos and Ibiza, this is one for the long, warm nights.

Selador, Bandcamp about text · sourceIf you've been lucky enough to hear Dave play live recently, you will have heard an old favourite tune enthusiastically pulling back the curtains, blinking at the sun, having a good stretch, and returning to the fray for '26 in majestic, remixed fashion. Yes, the much-loved 'Nightfalls' is back.\n\nDave's love affair with the haunting vocal refrain ("And at sunrise / And at sunset / But when night falls / the music") from The Ananda Project's 'Cascades of Colour' has lasted for a quarter of a century, initially as a centrepiece of his much-loved Cape Town mix for Global Underground from 2000.\n\nIn 2016, appreciative of the exposure Dave had given their track, The Ananda Project returned the favour, giving Dave sample clearance to use the vocal, and 'Nightfalls' was born, making a right noise all its own as Selador's 50th release.\n\nAnd now…that haunting yet uplifting, inescapable vocal hook is back, with a re-fashioned 'Nightfalls' a focal point of Dave's eagerly anticipated album. Dave has, of course, recorded a new version himself, deep, breaks-driven, chilled yet ever so slightly menacing.\n\nA trio of handpicked remixers bring us glorious variety with their reinterpretations.\n\nElif's seriously atmospheric take guarantees transcendental dancefloor epiphanies.\n\nDilby's heads down throbber is pure energy, the vocal atop a sumptuous sonic stew.\n\nCioz is pure melodic wonk, a funky piano line underpinning a riot of riffs.\n\nTeam Selador, Night People
