From the shop floor
Records the SEVEN team are reaching for right now, picked personally by our staff of working DJs and diggers, each with a few words on why it made the cut.
Every one is in our Berlin store too, in the Staff Picks crate.
SEVEN co-founder with CRYME. Glenn runs the store and you will find him working in it almost every day. Remembers the 90's like it was yesterday, remembers yesterday like it was the 90's. Into electro, funk, all genres of house & techno.
This might be my record of the month. Four tracks of smooth mid-set rolling House. We played this in the store twice and 4 customers came and asked what it was and bought it. In my staff-purchase bag!
Love this chilled, laid back house classic. First time I heard it I played it three times back to back.
Super fun tech house EP, really made me smile in the store. Floog Remix is +++
Truly seminal album from the 90's. AIR, or "French Band Air" as we used to call them with their silky smooth, electro funk and ballads. Tough to pick my favourites - Sexy Boy was the biggest hit but my personal favourites must be the beautiful All I Need, You Make it Easy and robotic-voiced Remember. Check out the music video for All I Need on YouTube. Kelly Watch the Stars is an upbeat callout too. Essential vinyl in anyone's collection.
Deep bass, scratchy chords and electro-breaks vocals. Has a kick that could move the house. Play it loud and get moving.
Get Down - deep, tropical, vibey AF. This one rides so hard. What a revelatory journey of a track.
B2 “Turn” seals the deal for me on this one. Gregariously chunky and spaced-out, with a fresh bassline to melt anyone with even half a hankering for the dancefloor.
This release surprised me, and I surprised myself a lot by liking it so much. It’s overall a lot darker than the stuff I usually go for. Gorgeous spooky melodies on A1, and B1 is like walking through a labyrinth of texture, a true sound design godsend.
Pure gold for an opening techno set! Dubby, patient, efficient, and huge in its stereo depth. Pure and serene techno.
A really creative EP where every track has its own distinct techy character. I picked this one for its stability and low-key drive. Any of them would fly with the right DJ at the right moment. Huge potential to slap.
The Remix of fleet.dreams giving me the goosebumbzzz. Restraint & atmospheric deep house will hug you at 3am on the dancefloor.
The whole release of Oceanic on Nousklaer is just phenomenal. From house to techno, from slow to fast, you will find your way. B side hits for me. (B1) This kind of dark distorted noise in the background plus the shifty percussions on the side is perfect for recharging the dance floor. (B2) I never heard a better relationship between a bass and a pad. Plus the spaced out noises giving the whole track the cherry on top.
Nothing really to add here. Such a masterpiece from Maara on NAFF. Favorites B4 & D2. Def some Earworm materials inside!
I think this Album speaks for itself. Dubbed out full of surprise and perfect for opening, keeping the NRG or getting lost completely on the dance floor.
DJ Merlin I like this. Proggy textured rich swompy stompers will def set the dance floor to a frog valley lol plus this Dirt Bubble (Dnb) is just nuts
