The track I’ll be opening my next DJ set with
PNVN: Save
Ambient, melancholic music that leaves you wanting more. The perfect track to start your night with; it sets a mysterious vibe.
The track that’s been unfairly slept on this year
Cosmin TRG: In Your Body
#YogaTechno. Seriously, this track is genius. The hypnotising vocal combined with aggressive percussion turns it into a masterpiece. I’m hearing a lot of Cosmin TRG lately and lots of remixes as well, so I would say things are going well for him already, but this still deserves to be the track of the year.
The track that got me out of bed this morning
Bjarki: This 5321
This one has been stuck in my head for the last few days. A beautiful combination of rhythm and melodies.
The track I wish I’d never played
Douster: King of Africa
Yes I did, back in the days around 2010 (hides in shame).
The track I’d play at sunset in Ibiza
Nina Simone: Sinnerman
“Don’t you know that I need you?” A sweet 13 minutes of immersive music. Sunglasses on, cocktail in hand, world off. This track is a sunset classic.
The track I wish I’d signed to my label
Regal: Repeat
Proper acid. I wish I signed it to my – non-existing – label, but he signed it on his, which is something I can definitely live with.
The track I’d play at my auntie’s wedding
I wouldn’t play. I would only dance.
The track that should have been a crossover hit
Qtier: Set Me On
This track is so beautiful but it never really made it to the charts. I’m in love with Qtier’s voice.
The track I’d play at my funeral
Ben Klock: Sirens
This is so bloody genius it deserves to be played at everything! I think it should be part of everyone’s techno education. I also don’t think anyone would be surprised to hear this sort of track at my funeral. It makes sense.
