The track I’ll be opening my next DJ set with
Analaug Paulyphauny: Crazy Man Bored Of The Sea
From the release Ambient Party Turns Into Orgy. The album title is actually the perfect motto for my dream set.
The track I always play to rescue a dancefloor
Christian S: Jagos
This track by Christian S always resets the mood. People in Cologne are convinced that this man has the master plan.
The track that currently gets the most rewinds
Source Direc:t Black Rose (Blawan Remix)
I can’t remember when I did an actual rewind the last time, but this gets the most plays right now. Someone said last week it might be the perfect remix. I am likely to agree.
The track I wish I’d never played
Joseph Beuys: Ja, Ja, Ja, Ja, Ja, Nee, Nee, Nee, Nee, Nee
It’s too long.
The track I think has been unfairly slept on this year
Ekman: GMMDI (Breaker 1 2 Remix)
If Discogs is right, the track title is meant as an acronym of Gizmo Made Me Do It. It in fact does sound like an ode to the 90s hardcore DJ from The Hague, albeit in a much slower tempo. Impressive how Ekman and Breaker 1 2 still manage to get to the same sort of energy level. Please don’t call this gabber house.
The track I wish I’d signed to my label
Rebolledo: Dance Warrior Dance
Sadly, Mr Rebolledo and Mr Superpitcher have their own wonderful label, Hippie Dance, so we can’t put out this psychedelic monster of a track.
The track that got me out of bed this morning
Trevino: The Dismal Truth
When I was looking for new music this morning, this was the most impressive. The dismal truth is: there is less good music for big rooms than there is for small rooms. This is very good. And this is for very big rooms. Or for people who need a very big push in order to get out of bed.
The track I’d play at my auntie’s wedding
Barnt: Chappell
I don’t like weddings…
The track I’d play at sunset in Ibiza
Jens-Uwe Beyer: Möwen
If we were on a lonely beach with no bass drum within hearing range, I would put on this on.
The track I’d play at my funeral
Popol Vuh: Aguirre I
In itself a journey from Earth to the unknown.
Barnt plays Found festival, Brockwell Park, SE24, Sat 13 June
