The track I’ll be opening my next DJ set with
Isolée: Beau Mot Plage
It can be moulded into any style of set. An electronic track that has stuck through time, which is a feat in itself, and a house masterpiece.
The track I always play to rescue a dancefloor
Leon Vynehall: Brother
Leon Vynehall is an artist who genuinely gets me excited whenever I hear and see a new release of his. This always gets the troops back into position and the heads nodding.
The track that currently gets the most rewinds
Thundercat: Them Changes
I first heard this when I was in a record store in NYC and I was hooked.
The track I wish I’d signed to my label
Maurizio: M6B (Edit)
Maurizio, Basic Channel, Rhythm & Sound have been hugely important influences on me from a young age. The Maurizio M-Series showed techno in a minimal light years before minimal had its proper moment. True innovators and pioneers of the dub techno age.
The track I’d play to show off my eclectic tastes
Jennifer Lara: Ain’t No Love
After playing this recently at the very end of a set, it’s firmly cemented there as a nice eclectic selection.
The track that got me out of bed this morning
Floating Points: Vacuum Boogie
Vacuum Boogie is a great way to start the day! Floating Points is the king.
The track that’s been unfairly slept on this year
Tommy Vicari: Jnr Eros
This was released in 2015 but should’ve had more recognition than it did. The unpredictable groove structure makes it such a good house track.
The track I’d play at sunset in Ibiza
Broken Social Scene: Guilty Cubicles
I’m getting married out in Ibiza this summer and I won’t be playing this at the wedding but I think watching the sunset with it would be ideal.
The track I’d play at my funeral
Jefre Cantu-Ledesma: Roam The Milky Way
I always think that if you could take fragments of the noise away from some of his tracks you would find some of the most beautiful sounds ever. A massively important musician for noise and drone music, and why not end with a beautiful noise?
Sei A plays Y Plas, Cardiff, Friday
