The pervy electro-funk producer and Ultramajic boss empties the contents of his psychic record bag
The track I'll be opening my next DJ set with
Matrixxman: Protocol
Elaborate intros only work for some parties; other times you have to get right into the drums. If I play for two hours, I'm mostly playing only drums for about 30 minutes. It's so effective.
The track I always play to rescue a dancefloor
Jimmy Edgar: Shout
Rescuing the dancefloor is exactly what this was made for. When I grew up in Detroit, I was into the music that people listened to when they wanted to actually dance: funk and booty music. This applies that to European club culture.
The track that currently gets the most rewinds
Skream: Rollercoaster (Jimmy Edgar remix)
Can people please stop asking me if this is a dubstep track? Even Skream himself doesn't give a fuck about dubstep any more.
The track I'd play to show off my eclectic tastes
Oneohtrix Point Never: Problem Areas
His album is the best of the year. Or I could pick Brandy; I was all about her in the 90s. I grew up on MTV R&B.
The track that got me out of bed this morning
My Aum meditations
I play them when I need some assistance in relaxation. I just recorded my voice and stretched it out and made it sound like a temple.
The track I wish I'd signed to my label
Sophie Bipp
Sophie is a good friend and I was into these tracks; I considered starting my label because I loved them so much.
The track I think has been unfairly slept on this year
Daniel Avery: Naive Response
I thought this track was slept on but I've actually been hearing it a few times. A future classic: we need more risky beat-driven tracks that tick the body clock.
The track I'd play at my auntie's wedding
Art Of Noise: Moments In Love
I'd probably just put on all the different versions; there are so many it would probably last the whole time. It's hilarious to imagine my aunt remarrying at 50.
The track I wish I'd never played
I don't live with regrets, but I love the story about Richie Hawtin thinking the Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack was a great track to play at Timewarp. Fucking classic.
The track I'd play at my funeral
Depeche Mode: World In My Eyes
What do you say about one of the best Depeche Mode tracks? Nothing, it speaks on its own.
