Selected. Sessions

Selected. Records has been going since 2016, most notably releasing tracks by huge names like Sonny Fodera, Joel Corry, Goodboys, Benny Benassi, ATB, Punctual, Ape Drums, Poppy Baskcomb and Clementine Douglas. Being an arm of one the most streamed dance music platforms has allowed the label to adopt a uniquely beneficial streaming-first release model, where buzz around a release can be built up on the Selected. YouTube channel and Spotify playlists, which does much of the heavy lifting promotion-wise for the Selected. releases, often meaning a release doesn’t necessarily need to be distributed by a major record company through various channels to get the word out globally. Over the years, Selected. has hosted various events, including a residency and multiple events at several London-based clubs including Ministry of Sound. However, due to COVID-19 – and even some time prior – they decided to move in a more creative direction by connecting the YouTube audience with the live audience, launching the brilliant Selected. Sessions, a live-streamed DJ set series inviting the page’s mainstays to DJ to crowds in unusual environments around the world. Selected. Sessions kicked off with Gorgon City in Berlin, followed by MK and Sonny Fodera DJing back-to-back on a metro cruising under the streets of Berlin, Dom Dolla playing on a rooftop in Belgrade, Meduza DJing in front of a place wreck in Iceland, and Disclosure and Salute playing a beautifully shot set deep in a favela in Medellín, Colombia in 2024. Selected.’s evolution from a YouTube channel to a leading and fully independent force in the dance music industry highlights its deep passion for music and an unerring ability to stay ahead of the curve.
