The track that gets the most rewinds
Lexicon Avenue: Here I Am (Deep Dub)
I’ve been playing this record for probably over a decade. It’s pretty dark, but very sexual; usually when I’ve played this, I know I’ve played well. The beat isn’t 4/4 time but, if you play it in the right moment, it works at every club.
The ideal festival track
LFO: LFO (Leeds Warehouse mix)
Just a huge track that gets everybody jumping. I heard Villalobos play it on the Amnesia terrace years ago and it was electric.
The track that got me out of bed this morning
The Velvet Underground & Nico: Sunday Morning
I was introduced to this album by my first girlfriend. We woke up in the morning and she played it and it really blew my mind. That’s probably the only good thing I remember about her.
The track I’d play to show off my eclectic tastes
Laurie Anderson: O Superman
It’s beautiful and very euphoric, I made an edit of this to play and added some drums. I was on a very bad date with someone that I realised I didn’t like, and that song came up in conversation – she hated it – and I used it as an excuse to leave.
The track I wish I’d signed to my label
Martin Buttrich: Meeting Dave Dish
It’s just a beautiful track. It reminds me of my first time in Ibiza; I wish Ibiza still had afterparties with music like this, it’s very balearic and I think it’s probably Martin’s best track.
The track I’d play at sunset in Ibiza
Theorem vs Swayzak: Break in at Apt 205
I played it during a sandstorm at Burning Man to about 100 people after a whole week of mental destruction and, when the drums came off, a lot of sand flew into everyone’s eyes. It was an unforgettable moment.
The track I’d play at my funeral
The Smiths: There Is a Light That Never Goes Out
It all began with the Smiths for me, so I guess it has to end with them also.
