The track I’ll be opening my next DJ set with
Culoe De Song: Y.O.U.D.
I love this track. It’s a good point to start a journey; it puts you in a trance-like state.
The track I always play to rescue a dancefloor
David Morales Presents The Face: Needin’ U
Always works for me. It being my own record helps; there’s nothing like dropping a classic.
The track that currently gets the most rewinds
Grace Jones La Vie En Rose
I can hear this record all day long. I recently played it for 15 minutes as my closing song.
The track I think has been unfairly slept on this year
David Morales Presents The Face Feat Kym Mazelle: Lovin’
Full of great positive energy.
The track I’d play to show off my eclectic tastes
Maceo & The Macks: Soul Power 74
This was a big track for me back in the days at the Ozone Layer and The Loft.
The track that got me out of bed this morning
David Morales Feat Janice Robinson: There Must Be Love
Has been on heavy rotation on my iPod.
The track I wish I’d signed to my label
Adele: Rolling In The Deep
I would have scored big time! What a tune!
The track I’d play at sunset in Ibiza
Sade: Paradise
Her music is perfect for any sunset setting. It’s very soothing to the soul.
The track I’d play at my auntie’s wedding
Héctor Lavoe: Mi Gente
All the old Latin folks from my auntie’s era loved this song. Actually her and my mom would make me get up and dance.
The ideal festival track
I’m not big on festivals!
The track I wish I’d never played
Pablo Toto: Dame Chocha
Ha, there’s been many over the years, but this one definitely sticks out from all the rest. It’s a very nasty record in Spanish. I’ve never felt so paranoid.
The best track by my favourite new artist
Mark Ronson Feat Bruno Mars: Uptown Funk
I love all the live elements in this track. It’s a party record.
The track I’d play at my funeral
Bill Withers: Lovely Day
It’s my favourite all-time classic. I want people to cry and smile at the same time.
