The track that currently gets the most rewinds
Kano ft Wiley & Giggs: 3 Wheel-Ups
Those frantic horns at the start just make people go mad, myself included. I don’t think I’ve ever heard Giggs so amped!
The track that’s been unfairly slept on this year
DVSN: Hallucinations
They are a producer-singer duo signed to Drake’s OVO label who make really slick and imaginative R&B. They kept a lot of Frank Ocean fans I know happy in his absence.
The track I’d play at sunset in Ibiza
Jamie Woon: Sharpness
I was so happy when he came back with new material, it’s one of the sexiest songs I’ve heard in years.
The track that should have been a crossover hit
Kelela: Rewind
It has potential for my mum to sing along to which makes a hit in my eyes.
The track I wish I’d never played
A$AP Rocky: F**kin’ Problems
I used to DJ in a well-known high-street shop on Saturday afternoons and one of the rules was that songs had to be clean. I may have played an unedited version of this…
The track that got me out of bed this morning
Chance The Rapper ft Knox: Fortune All Night
Even though the title suggests otherwise, this is good for mornings!
The track I’d play at my auntie’s wedding
Drake ft Rihanna: Too Good
My parents are from Ghana and Ghanaian weddings are always lively. This sounds like a highlife and Afrobeat tune that would keep all the aunties happy.
The best track by my favourite new artist
Tara Carosielli: Leave You Lonely
She’s an artist coming with through with solo material after being in a group called Last Night In Paris. I really like this.
The track I’d play to show off my eclectic tastes
Björk: Big Time Sensuality
My big brother was really into her, so I inherited his appreciation. No one could ever accuse her of being mediocre.
