Au Seve

Produced by Bristol-based Matthew Walker under his Julio Bashmore alias, the track was made using a cheap £150 synthesizer with its bass derived from a tuned-down xylophone sound, paired with a basic drum machine. It was the inaugural release on Walker's own Broadwalk Records label. Released in July 2012, the track became a ubiquitous club anthem and a defining record of the UK's early-2010s house revival, entering the UK Singles Chart at number 55 and earning a BPI silver certification. It cemented Bashmore's status as one of British dance music's brightest prospects alongside his BBC Radio 1 residency, and was praised by XLR8R as an immaculate exercise in retro house with near-faultless production. The track endures as one of the era's most recognisable house records and remains on Beatport's all-time best-selling house tracks list, its irresistibly simple melody becoming a touchstone for the crossover moment when UK underground house production achieved mainstream pop-chart visibility.
