Legendary DJ and producer Dave Seaman is finally preparing to release his debut solo artist album, and the title track, ‘Mirrorball Sleaze’, has arrived as a compelling preview of what is to come. The track is out now on Selador, the label Seaman co-runs with Steve Parry, and features a high-energy remix from Tronic boss Christian Smith alongside label mate D-SHIFT.
This release marks a significant milestone for an artist whose career has spanned nearly four decades. As a foundational figure in British club culture, Seaman has been instrumental in shaping the landscape of house and trance music since the Acid House era. His upcoming full-length project, Mirrorball Sleaze, is scheduled for a November release and promises to bridge the gap between his storied past and his current sonic evolution.
A New Chapter in a Storied Career
Rather than serving as a standard career retrospective, the album is designed to connect the dots across Seaman’s extensive catalog. It incorporates both new and reworked material, tracing his artistic journey from his early days to his modern-day production style. The title track itself is a nod to his history, referencing his 2015 single ‘Strobelight Symphony,’ which drew inspiration from the 1990s act Superstars of Rock.
The release of ‘Mirrorball Sleaze’ offers listeners three distinct versions of the track. Seaman provides a beatless ‘Freedrumapella’ mix that leans into ambient, reflective textures, alongside a club-ready rework. Meanwhile, the collaboration between Christian Smith and D-SHIFT delivers a peak-time interpretation, characterized by driving, melodic basslines designed for the dancefloor.
With the full album arriving this November, fans can expect a project that avoids simple nostalgia, instead focusing on fresh production techniques that honor the legacy of UK house music. ‘Mirrorball Sleaze’ is available now across all major streaming platforms.
