Bullion’s favourite tracks

The track I’ll be opening my next DJ set with
Malcolm Galaxy: Fever

Certainly puts the cat among the pigeons! Good to start afresh and open-minded.

The track I always play to rescue a dancefloor
Devo: Working In A Coalmine

Pure arm and hammer action. No one’s safe when it starts worming away.

The track that currently gets the most rewinds
Joe: Punters Step Out

I’m a bit behind with this but I can’t stop playing it. Turns people a bit barmy with the carousel organs.

The track I wish I’d signed to my label
Ed Sheeran: Thinking Out Loud

Would set things up for a sparkly financial future, let’s face it.

The track I’d play to show off my eclectic tastes
Skidoo: Stockton’s Wing

Sounds like a jig in the outback. Jigs rule. Watch the people form a circle every single time. Part of me wishes I had Celtic heritage to complement my obsession with jigs.

The track that got me out of bed this morning
Ryuichi Sakamoto: Tibetan Dance

Such happy music – serious music can get so naff. Day or night, this puts a spring in my step.

The track I wish I’d never played

I played a prog set at Glastonbury once, thinking it’d be appropriate. About five people turned up and I wasn’t asked back. Those were the days!

The ideal festival track
Sister Sledge: Thinking Of You

Festivals, weddings, lock-ins, doesn’t matter, everyone loves it.

The track I’d play at my auntie’s wedding
Hall & Oates: You Make My Dreams

My friend proposed to his wife with this, and it’s become the biggest wedding track for me since. I was so inspired by the proposal I made a cover version of it. Very fun to sing.

The best track by my favourite new artist
Laura Groves: Dream Story

We’ve been working together for a few years and this is her best so far, I reckon. Laura is a songwriting queen. We’re working on her album now, and she never stops surprising.

The track I’d play at my funeral
Stephen Stills: Singin’ Call

A favourite of all time. I love the way it builds. The melodies and harmonies are beautiful, and Stills soars through it with the gentlest touch. Moving to the core.

Bullion plays Oslo, E8, Saturday 26 March
