Hannah Holland’s favourite tracks

Hannah Holland

The track I’ll be opening my next DJ set with
Hannah Holland ft Imma/Mess: Lush

“This goes out to all my nightlife queens. You got your lace front all gelled back, your stilettos are just click and clacking. Honey I’m feeling …” Just out, featuring the incredible artist Imma/Mess.

The track I always play to rescue a dancefloor
Fat Freddy’s Drop: Mother Mother (Cosmodelica Remix)

Oh so soulful. Cosmo knows a thing or two about filling a room with love.

The track I wish I’d signed to my label
DJ Nori: Happy Sunday (Maurice Fulton remix)

When that bass comes in, it wraps you up and enters your bloodstream. It changes your world in that moment.

The track I think has been unfairly slept on this year
PJU ft Josh Caffe & Robert Owens: Give It To Me

Beautiful track: Josh and Robert twist around each other’s voices. A modern house classic that not so many people know about!

The track that got me out of bed this morning
Fleetwood Mac: Big Love

That guitar riff enters my dream and coaxes me out of bed each morning.

The track I’d play at sunset in Ibiza
Black Gold Buffalo: Penkenna (Dan Beaumont remix)

This remix sounds like Fleetwood Mac took ecstasy and went to the Paradise Garage in New York in the late 80s. Floaty, dreamy, disco.

The track I’d play to show off my eclectic tastes
Patti LaBelle: The Spirit’s In It

Give me a bit of gospel and Patti LaBelle’s voice any day. Let the spirit take over that dancefloor!

The track I wish I’d never played
Lil Louis: French Kiss

Of course it’s a classic but when it gets to the woman orgasming, it can get a little awkward!

The best new track by my favourite new artist
Shaun J Wright & Alinka Matters: Of The Heart

These two from Chicago are a force of nature.

The track I’d play at my auntie’s wedding
Prince: Get Off

“23 positions in a one-night stand”: I love seeing aunties dancing to this!

The track I’d play at my funeral
Stevie Wonder: As

“Until the rainbow burns the stars out off the sky … I’ll be loving you, always.” Says it all.

Hannah Holland plays Winter Pride London, The Coronet, SE1, Saturday
