*PREVIEW CLIP* Jonathan Cowan - Sawyer

Support from Nick Warren, AFFKT, Anthony Pappa, Just Her, Audio Junkies, and of course form Dave Seaman and Steve Parry Jonathan Cowan is an OG of the scene Stateside, particularly in his native Florida, where he gave a certain Dave Seaman his first US residency back in 1998, and to this day remains a kingpin of that week in March when the dance music cognoscenti descend upon Miami. With these two transatlantic amigos and like-minded souls having been (ahem) brothers in rhythm for nigh on three decades now, it was only right & proper that some of JC’s studio excursions would find their way to Selador. And so it was. The achingly beautiful ‘Alden’s Groove’ was first, debuting on our Sweet Sixteenth Showcase in 2022, and then followed by ‘Swaddles’ which graced our Seventeenth Instalment in 2023. At the time we described it as “tip top electronic headfuckery”, and some two years on, we ain’t changed our minds. So naturally we’re pleased as proverbial punch to now unveil a brand-new double-header from JC. ‘Slater’ is first up, as clever as it is insanely catchy. It wears several 90s influences proudly on its sleeve (think ‘French Kiss’ meets Desert’s seminal ‘Moods’ and you’re part way there), while wrapping everything up in a warm 2025 blanket of sound. Listen now, thank us slater ;) On the flipside, ‘Sawyer’ kicks off with a pure 80s Chicago bassline riding that Windy City wave, before Moroder-esque wonktastic riffage joins the fray and takes hold of the dance floor. So high indeed. Tried and tested by both Messrs Seaman & Parry, these two meticulously crafted gems have been staples of their sets for the past few months but don’t just take our word for it, judge for yourselves. Team Selador – Running in the family. x
