The track I’ll be opening my next DJ set with
Theo Parrish: Ah
I’m a sucker for drama and this track oozes theatrics.
The track I always play to rescue a dancefloor
Paul Johnson: Feel My MF Bass
If in the heat of the night, nothing seems to happen, this Dance Mania classic always does the trick.
The track that currently gets the most rewinds
Mutsumi: Look Down At Your Feet Below
One of my favourite dancefloor jams of the year. With the mastermind Maurice Fulton behind the dials you never know what’ll happen. Creates mayhem, and if you don’t know where to look, look down at your feet below!
The track I wish I’d signed to my label
Seven Davis Jr: One
The perfect track to either open or end an energy-filled set. Those vocals don’t mess about and preach an age-old message: L.O.V.E.
The track that’s been unfairly slept on this year
Overlast: Backstage
A producer not afraid to tread outside the lines.
The track I’d play at sunset in Ibiza
Barrington Levy: The Vibes Is Right
Sultry, smooth and fierce.
The track I wish I’d never played
DJ Paul Elstak: Life Is Like A Dance
I was invited to play a surprise party for a fan. Problem was, the location didn’t appreciate house music as much as she did. So I played happy hardcore.
The best track by my favourite new artist
Young Marco: Biology Theme
Exactly the right amount of joy mixed with melancholy.
The ideal festival track
High Powered Boys: Work (Tom Trago remix)
Talk about drama: this is it!
The track I’d play to show off my eclectic tastes
William Kouam Djoko: Deflourished
This is a special one that came from a sincere and vulnerable place and I guess it shows.
The track I’d play at my funeral
Mr Fingers: Can You Feel It
Stands for the ages that have passed and are yet to come. It’s the ideal love sound to celebrate life, with that reflective quality that makes you stand in awe of the greatness of living. I hope to be remembered like that. It’s also the last track I played at Trouw’s closing.
William Kouam Djoko plays Mobilee Showcase, Egg London, N7, Sat
