The track I’ll be opening my next DJ set with
New Build: Pour It On (Phil Kieran remix)
This track always creates such a special moment when the vocal and synth are in full swing. The tribal percussion feels like you are preparing for battle.
The track I always play to rescue a dancefloor
FreakME: Cornelius (NiCe7 Remix)
This is a banger in the club; it holds an energy that has woken up many a dancefloor for me! Sometimes, if I’m holding things back in a set for the next DJ to follow me, I lose self-control and change the pace with it.
The track that currently gets the most rewinds
Talaboman: Sideral (Matt Karmil Remix)
The original version is amazing, but I actually prefer this one. It contains higher levels of sexiness. I’ve played this so many times and I’m not planning on stopping any time soon.
The track I wish I’d signed to my label
Isolée: Allowance
If I could, I would sign all music coming out from Pampa Records, but then Pampa Records would no longer exist and who’d wanna live a life without Pampa Records? Not me.
The track I wish I’d never played
Gnarls Barkley: Crazy
Way back in the 00s, I remember playing this song, which I probably downloaded from some illegal sharing site. It turns out that it was a rip from some radio show and in the middle of the song there were these really loud voiceovers. A part of me died inside.
The track I’d play to show off my eclectic tastes
Mark E: Plastic People (MEdit)
From the master of edits, Mark E. Built upon samples from Birth Control’s Plastic People, it’s been around for a while but I keep coming back to it.
The track that got me out of bed this morning
Dopplereffekt: Infophysix
Starting out with this track, your day can’t go wrong. It’s like a full continental breakfast, but for your ears.
The track I’d play at my auntie’s wedding
Daft Punk: Veridis Quo
I actually played this at my own wedding, walking to the altar, but my aunts were in attendance so I guess it still counts!
The track I’d play at my funeral
Bobby Caldwell: What You Won’t Do For Love
I want my extremely talented younger brother Franz Novotny to sing a cappella at my funeral. But if he for some reason dies before me, I’ll just go with this one.
