‘Them Hands’ is the first release on Spinnin’ Deep for both artists, following Selekio’s acclaimed debut ‘Thinking About You’ on Spinnin’ sublabel SOURCE last year, while Charlie Hedges already paved her way as seasoned producer with several popular releases these last years.
“Whether I’m DJing at a club, festival anywhere in the world, listening to music in my car, on the train, I just LOVE the feeling you get when the music grabs you. I love that feeling I get when everyone at that gig is there for the music. I wanted to make a track that brings people together, a track that I can play at one of my gigs, at a festival but also a track you guys can play in your car, on the way to work or school, hopefully bringing back some incredible memories from the weekend you’ve just had out with your friends….and that’s how ‘Them Hands’ was born.” – Charlie Hedges

Selekio
Selekio has been writing music under various names for many years and in 2018 got his big break when he signed to Spinnin Records / Source. His debut release slammed straight on to The BBC Radio 1 Dance Anthems airwaves,with tastemaker Mistajam playing the World Exclusive 1st play. ‘Thinking About You’ ft Amy Pearson gained attention of Spinnin’ Records who then quickly put pen to paper and signed the record.
The track was instantly recognisable in the clubs and on radio thanks to a huge bassline from Luther Vandross’s work with Aretha Franklin and once they gave it their blessing to be used it was all systems go. The track has hit a combined 300k streams on Spotify and 375k views on youtube with extra thanks to heavyweight remixes from R3wire and Marc Baigent & Element Z.
