The track that currently gets the most rewinds
Motörhead: Just ’Cos You Got the Power
This constantly gets a rewind, but I’m usually at home by myself when it happens. I think it needs to enter the club realm soon.
The track I wish I’d signed to my label
Planetary Assault Systems: Return
I remember flipping out so hard the first time I heard this. The melancholy sits so eloquently with the drive that keeps it going. Every time I hear it, I wish it would never end.
The track that’s been unfairly slept on this year
Sleep D: Karingal
Very spicy stuff from my boys Sleep D. The whole EP is top dollar but this one in particular has that trippy ethereal vibe that makes you feel the high spirits.
The best track by my favourite new artist
Luis CL: It’s Getting Better
Really glad we were able to have the honour of putting this one out on our label Superconscious. Luis is one of my favourite producers and a bit of an unsung hero in my opinion, and this song perfectly demonstrates his diversity.
The track that should have been a crossover hit
Jake ’The Snake’ Roberts: Snake Bit (WWE entrance theme)
Vince McMahon’s wrestling enterprise might be “staged” or “faked”, but this rawkin’, wavey, Italo potential club banger is not.
The track I’d play at my auntie’s wedding
Loredana Bertè: Number One
This one really captures the feeling of sloppy drunk relatives and it’s so saucy. What’s not to like?
The track I’d play at sunset in Ibiza
E.V.O.E.: Este Amor
This is probably one for the classic 80s Café del Mar-era Ibiza that I’d like to think exists but sadly doesn’t any more.
The track I’d play at my funeral
Neil Young: Rockin’ In The Free World
I want my time to end with guns blazing. I want my casket put on to a rocket and fired into space while this is blasting over a big sound system.
