The track I always play to rescue a dancefloor
Dubbel Dutch: Dip So
I’ve been supporting this one for the past year now and it’s one I can rely on to up the energy. No matter the type of crowd, this one has always worked.
The track that currently gets the most rewinds
Trends & JLSXND7RS: The Undertaker (Instrumental)
One of the biggest beats of 2014: still gets a massive reaction when played.
The track that I wish I’d signed to my label
Strict Face: Into Stone
He sent this track to me. I was really into it and I remember saying to myself, “You should probably hit him up about signing this before someone else does.” Of course I didn’t until a couple months later, by which point Logos and Mumdance had snapped it up.
The best track by my favourite new artist
Loom: Rain Falls Hard Here
Beautiful track. One that I didn’t let slip through my fingers and signed to my label.
The track I’d play to show off my eclectic tastes
I just like to throw random pop and R&B songs in when I can. I just love finding really great melodic blends between weird electronic tracks and clean pop vocals.
The track that got me out of bed this morning
Jan Lundgren Trio: Can You Please
I’m not a morning person but my three-year-old son is. So I need to ease myself into the world in the mornings.
The ideal festival track
Dullah Beatz: Hijack
Something about this one just seems to make people lose their shit. Jump to two hours 14 minutes on the Boxed Boiler Room set to see what it does to people.
The track I’d play at my auntie’s wedding
Freddie McGregor: To Be Poor Is A Crime
The lyrical content doesn’t exactly scream out “wedding” but I don’t think I have been to any big family gathering (christening, wedding, etc) where this hasn’t been played. It just feels like a Jamaican auntie kind of track to me.
The track I’d play at sunset in Ibiza
Caribou: Second Chance
Sunset. Sunrise. Anytime.
The track I’d play at my funeral
Mr Mitch: The Lion, The Bitch And The Bordeaux
A bit self-indulgent I know, but as I was making the video for this song its meaning changed and it became a song about loss. So it seems fitting.
Mr Mitch plays OiOi at Fire, SW8, Fri
