The track we’ll be opening our next DJ set with
Chalice: Don’t Push Me
It’s a disco steppers-style version of The Message by Grandmaster Flash. We’re always on the hunt for good cover versions as long as they’re a bit different and can smash the dancefloor.
The track we always play the rescue a dancefloor
Rick James: Give It To Me Baby
Cause the old Rick James is a helluva drug!
The track we wish we’d signed to our label Red Rack’em
Wonky Bassline Banger
Danny Berman is a good friend. One of those ultra-talented, unsung heroes finally getting the love he deserves.
The track that’s been unfairly slept on this year
Mike Cooper: What Cares Paradise
You can never get enough Tahitian-inspired dreamscapes.
The track we’d play to show off our eclectic tastes
Probably some weird Indonesian psychedelic vocoder track that we couldn’t possibly translate!
The track we wish we’d never played
KRS-One: Sound Of Da Police
When the cops raided a rave in NYC. Didn’t pan out too well for Danny; he ended up with a gun to his head and almost went to jail.
The track that should have been a crossover hit
Morrison Kincannon: To See One Eagle Fly
Because it was written from the heart, and has meaningful lyrical content as opposed to the shallow toot you mostly hear these days.
The ideal festival track
Peech Boys: Life Is Something Special
Mostly festivals bring out the best in people and remind you how lucky you are to be alive. This track makes you feel like you’re part of something, ya know, special!
The best track by my favourite new artist
Lokier
Anything by this Mexican artist. She’s about a thousand times more soulful and talented than any of the current female producers and DJs, and soon the world will realise that
Psychemagik play Gottwood festival, Anglesey, 9-12 Jun; and Field Day, E3, 11 & 12 Jun
