The track I always play to rescue a dancefloor
Ovidi Adlert & Borja Cubes: The Old Times
Eventually, I had to force myself to stop playing this tune as it was in every set for a year or something. But it’s in my armoury for when it’s a proper struggle to get the crowd going.
The track I wish I’d signed to my label
Unknown Artist: Something Else
This track is getting played by everyone. It’s actually by Archie Hamilton, who is one of my favourite producers at the moment, but he released it as Unknown Artist. If I had a label, this would definitely be something I’d wanna put out.
The ideal festival track
Michel Cleis: La Mezcla
It’s well old now and never gets played any more but this was epic at festivals.
The track I wish I’d never played
Arthur Askey: The Bee Song
God knows why I ever played this, but it was only for a laugh and nobody else laughed apart from me and my mate; nobody had a clue what was going on! I played it in the middle of my first ever gig in a club in Hull called the Welly when I was about 19 years old. Stupid but funny.
The track I’ll be opening my next DJ set with
Enrico Bellan: Till Dawn
It always depends on what the DJ before me finishes on, but recently I’ve been opening my sets with this belter.
The track that got me out of bed this morning
Roger Sanchez: Another Chance
Actually, it was more like this afternoon than this morning and it was coming from the outdoor restaurant at my hotel in Brussels. I woke up to this song, which was mint as I hadn’t heard it for years; decent tune as well.
The track I’d play at my funeral
Hans Zimmer & Lisa Gerrard: Now We Are Free
This is one of my favourite pieces of music ever; it’s from the film Gladiator. A beautiful piece of music that would be the most emotional thing to listen to at a funeral, for sure.
