The track I always play to rescue a dancefloor
Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em: Crank That (Soulja Boy)
Still goes off every time. I don’t think it’ll ever get old: it has aged beautifully, like a fine wine.
The track that currently gets the most rewinds
DJ Khaled ft Rihanna and Bryson Tiller: Wild Thoughts (Medasin remix)
This is the sickest remix of anything anyone has done for a while. We never really do rewinds but if we did we’d probably never get past this tune.
The track that should have been a crossover hit
Branchez & Big Wet: Turn Up on the Weekend
This has just come out, so there’s definitely a chance it’ll happen. I dunno if the world is ready for the whole country-trap fusion thing but it really should be.
The best track by my favourite new artist
Khalid: Young, Dumb & Broke
Khalid is mad talented, I love all the stuff he’s been putting out recently. This new one is so good; the vocals are so on point.
The track I’d play to show off my eclectic tastes
Gypsy Kings: Bamboleo
We always bump this on the tour bus just to get in the zone. Nothing like some raging flamenco music before you gotta go on stage.
The track that got me out of bed this morning
Joey Bada$$: 500 Benz
This tune feels so majestic. Such chill old-school vibes, makes me ready to go get it.
The track that’s been unfairly slept on this year
Kali Uchis ft Jorja Smith: Tyrant
Definitely one of my favourite tunes to come out this year. Kali and Jorja killed it.
The track I wish I’d never played
Dr Dre ft Snoop Dogg: The Next Episode
I love this tune, but I remember one time accidentally dropping the clean version in a club. So many of the words are different and it was really embarrassing.
The track I’d play at my auntie’s wedding
Ricky Martin: Livin’ La Vida Loca
I’d play this at any wedding. All-time classic.
