The track I always play to rescue a dancefloor
Daft Punk: One More Time
Oooh what a lovely five minutes we have here! Always takes me back to when I would play this as a young lad. That’s the power of music; it can transport you back through time in a second.
The track that currently gets the most rewinds
Junior Jack: Good Times
In my hotel room last week in Ibiza I had this on repeat for around two hours while getting ready – well, getting drunk – so I guess that’s about 20 rewinds if my maths serves me correct.
The track I wish I’d signed to my label
Kings of Tomorrow: Finally
Why? Because it’s the best house record ever made.
The track I’d play to show off my eclectic tastes
The Crusaders: Keep That Same Old Feeling
I listen to this track all the time and have done for the last 20 years and probably will for the next 20.
The track I wish I’d never played
The Notorious BIG: Hypnotize
Dropped this in a rave once and it kind of felt weird. Wasn’t exactly the “moment” I was hoping for.
The track I’d play at my auntie’s wedding
Steely Dan: Reelin’ in the Years
Steely Dan is basically the soundtrack to my childhood; I was so sad to hear of Walter Becker’s recent passing.
The ideal festival track
Soul Central: Strings of Life (Supernova Remix)
This is always a special moment: sometimes I have to wear sunglasses so I can happy-cry. Obviously, I’m too tough to let anyone witness this and they would think I was a weirdo as well, like Meat Loaf in Fight Club.
The track I’d play at sunset in Ibiza
Ulrich Schnauss: Knuddelmaus
I heard Pete Gooding play this once and it gives me goosebumps even thinking about it. I took my little brother to Café Mambo and we just sat there listening to the music, both totally content with life. I still remember how perfect it was. Better put my shades on.
