The track I’ll be opening my next DJ set with
Preditah: Selecta
As this one is my first single, it’s only right I start with it.
The track I always play to rescue a dancefloor
P Money: Round The Clock (Cause & Affect Remix)
Cause & Affect really know how to create a dancefloor smasher. Whether the crowd know the track or not, it always goes off because of the dark bassline and epic intro.
The track that currently gets the most rewinds
Solo 45: Feed ‘Em To The Lions
I try not to rewind tracks any more during my sets but the reaction to this track is something else. You have to see it to believe it; it just has to get a reload.
The track I think has been unfairly slept on this year
Friend Within: The Holiday
Great sample and summer feel on this one.
The track I’d play to show off my eclectic tastes
Basement Jaxx: Bingo Bango
I like to bring nostalgia to my sets when I’m playing and this track does the job. It’s a classic and quite commercial.
The track that got me out of bed this morning
Rae Sremmurd Feat Nicki Minaj & Young Thug: Throw Sum Mo
I sleep with music playing in the background sometimes, and out of all the tracks this one woke me up for some reason.
The ideal festival track
Lethal Bizzle: Pow! (Forward)
Do I need to say anything? We all know what happens when this gets played.
The track I’d play at my auntie’s wedding
Next: Too Close
This is a classic when it comes to parties and grown-folk occasions.
The best track by my favourite new artist
Linden Jay x MO: Bug A Boo (Re-Imagined)
This made me pay attention.
The track I’d play at sunset in Ibiza
Tojami Sessions: Blissful Feeling
Sounds like it was composed in the Bahamas on a beach.
The track I wish I’d signed to my label
Black Loops: Up On You
This track is right up my street. Simple but perfectly mixed down with a catchy bassline and weird synths and vocal stabs. I rep it 24/7.
The track I’d play at my funeral
Janet Jackson: Got Til It’s Gone
One of my favourite tracks of all time, but I wouldn’t play it in a club. So I guess my funeral would be the best place for everyone to hear it.
Preditah’s single Selecta is out now on Beat Productions. He plays Digital, Newcastle upon Tyne, 24 April
