The track I’ll be opening my next DJ set with
A Guy Called Gerald: Blow Your House Down
I WAS 7 YEARS OLD WHEN I FIRST HEARD THIS. LOL. IN A FORD ESCORT WAGGON WITH HOUSE SPEAKERS IN THE BACK. Just kidding – that’s a very good comment under the video on YouTube. Did grow up with a Ford Escort, though.
The track that currently gets the most rewinds
Madd Again!: Watagwan Yo
This one has fantastic lyrical content. It goes: “Yo Yo Yo-Yo Yoyoyo Yo-Yo Yoyoyo.” Also, it’s quite short so it ends up getting wheeled.
The track I wish I’d signed to my label
Cardi B: Bodak Yellow
I wish I’d have signed this and nothing else to my label. Then I could go back to not having a label and the whole thing would be a strange affair.
The track that got me out of bed this morning
Ultra Naté: Free (Mood II Swing Vocal Mix)
If this doesn’t make you dance up in the bedroom it’s time to go your doctor.
The track that’s been unfairly slept on this year
Loft: Heffalump
OK, so not totally slept on but, still, more people need to hear. Makes me very happy every time it starts to leak into the club.
The track I wish I’d never played
Call Super: Depicta
Occasionally it’s OK, but it usually feels kinda artless playing my own music.
The track I’d play at my auntie’s wedding
The Masterdon Committee: Get Off My Tip!
No question; on her wedding day auntie needs to get loose and lose it to Duke Bootee and Pebblee Poo.
The ideal festival track
Brain Killers: Loving Part 1
The horns from Turned on to You and the loon sample and some skengy vocal all melt into one of my favourite jungle tunes. This works at festivals. If not, then you got issues with the punters
The track I’d play at sunset in Ibiza
Stardiver: Lifetime Mission (10 Minutes Of Stardiving)
Feverish light into gorgeous darkness. The kind of darkness which, for the most part, Ibizan clubs could do with a dose of. Either this or something by Enigma.
The track I’d play at my funeral
Choice: Acid Eiffel
To be honest, it’s too long for a funeral, but half my life is wrapped up in this track, so I guess it’s an apt fit.
Call Super’s album Arpo is out now on Houndstooth. He plays Invisible Wind Factory, Liverpool, 24 November and Fabric, EC1, 25 November
