Rødhåd’s favourite tracks

The track I’ll be opening my next DJ set with
Soulphiction: Ann Arbor

Everything a DJ needs for the first minutes: dark movie atmosphere in the beginning, some vocals and then the bass and the kicks starting. Simple, perfect, hypnotising.

The track I always play to rescue a dancefloor
Recondite: Cleric

My barometer to scale the heat of the party. Cleric always delivers, but luckily I never need to use it to rescue. More to let the people scream.

The track I wish I’d signed to my label
Jeff Mills: The Bells

This classic is still getting me every time I hear and play it. I always edit it live in my sets to get the best possible atmosphere out of it.

The track I think has been unfairly slept on this year

My whole album project idea is unfairly sleeping for a long time. So I hope to awaken it soon.

The track I’d play to show off my eclectic tastes
Oni Ayhun: OAR003-A

Sounds eclectic to me: the rhythm, the melody, the screaming sirens in the background.

The track I wish I’d never played
Donna Summer: I Feel Love

The only time it worked out in my set was when I played it in Panorama Bar. People went crazy.

The ideal festival track
Green Velvet: I Want To Leave My Body

He’s a little hero to me. This track never leaves my case. And USB stick.

The track I’d play at my auntie’s wedding
Abba: Dancing Queen

And then watch my family dancing and freaking out.

The track I’d play at sunset in Ibiza
Ø [Phase]: Perplexed (Rødhåd’s remix)

The perfect music to see the sun going up or down… anywhere, anytime.

The best track by my favourite new artist
Matrixxman: Siamese Twins

I really like this Dekmantel release. Knight Rider style!

The track that should have been a crossover hit
Technasia: Force

Has everything you need: a little cheesy vocal with a powerful soul in it and lots of emotions. I like.

The track I’d play at my funeral
Portishead: Roads

That would be an emotional moment. I think I would like to hear that track in the grave.

Rødhåd plays Oval Space, E2, Sat
