The track I’ll be opening my next DJ set with
Death Grips: Guillotine
I usually open with this as it’s such an aggressive sound. It grabs your attention, and it’s so off-key-sounding that people don’t know what to expect afterwards.
The track that got me out of bed this morning
Steve Spacek: Melin Dreams
Something I was working on late last night on GarageBand on my phone. It’s a hypnotic track for the dancefloor.
The track I’d play to show off my eclectic tastes
Moondog: Viking 1
This is an amazing piece played on a vibraphone. It’s a great way to send the crowd off.
The track that should have been a crossover hit
Fatima: La Neta
This came out about two years ago from my peeps over at Eglo. It’s by Swedish-UK soul singer Fatima; produced by Flako, and is the perfect mix of soul and modern day electronics.
The track I’d play at my auntie’s wedding
Tiger: When (Steve Spacek remix)
A wicked dancehall tune with a truly infectious beat, along with some comical lyrics that all rhyme with “when”. I reckon auntie would be skanking to this one!
The best track by my favourite new artist
Packer & Rhodes ft Natalie Slade: Where We Go
Natalie is a Sydney-based singer-songwriter who I’m working with, and this is a collab between her and myself. Look out for it some time this year, maybe on my new label SPA.
The ideal festival track
Mark Pritchard: Soundboy Fuck Off
I love this track! Whenever I hear it, it gives me this vibe. The closest thing I can relate it to is a feeling people might get when they want to mosh, if that makes any sense.
The track I’d play at sunset in Ibiza
Bobby Konders: The Poem
Anyone who remembers raving back in the day would and should remember this one… I’m not even gonna describe it! It’s best to have a listen, it speaks for itself.
Steve Spacek plays Corsica Studios, SE17, Sunday 29 May; Soup Kitchen, Manchester, Thursday 2 June
