The Detroit producer behind superb LP The Boat Party empties the contents of his psychic record bag
The track I'll be opening my next DJ set with
Steve Reich: Come Out
Go listen for yourself. A proper creepy hypnotic record sure to get people's attention, to say the least.
The track I always play to rescue a dancefloor
Dennis Ferrer & Jerome Sydenham: Timbuktu
I made an extended 10-minute edit of these drums. The track's really punchy and it works as a good tool to layer under anything that needs a lil' oomph for the floor. I wouldn't really call it a rescue so much as an enhancement tool; pretty much always gets the floor going under most circumstances.
The track that currently gets the most rewinds
Omar-S: Solely Supported
Feels like I've dropped this acid banger damn near every gig, jeez.
The track I'd play to show off my eclectic tastes
Paul McCartney: Secret Friend
I really like the tropical groove of this record. My friend Femi put me up on this one.
The track I think has been unfairly slept on this year
GB: The Seeker
"Slept on" is relative to what audience you're speaking about, I guess. But this is absolutely bananas, I love this record. Way more people need to start paying attention to his music.
The track I'd play at my auntie's wedding
Zapp: Computer Love
Depends on the auntie, but one of them would love this; it's classic electro.
The ideal festival track
Anthony "Shake" Shakir: Pursuit Mix 3
This always reminds me of big crowds. An insanely climactic track.
The track I'd play at sunset in Ibiza
Loftsoul Feat Lisa Millet: Dear Friend (DJ Spinna remix)
The bassline is real sexy. Listen and figure out why it's perfect for Ibiza.
The best track by my favourite new artist
Jay Daniel: Exit
This is out on my label Wild Oats this year. He's a rising star on the Detroit house scene.
The track that should have been a crossover hit
Seven Davis Jr: All Kinds
It's not even out yet, but it needs to cross over when it is!
The track I'd play at my funeral
Art Of Noise: Moments In Love (Extended mix)
This is like 20 minutes long; a timeless classic in Detroit.
Kyle Hall plays The Hydra: Hyperdub, XOYO, EC2, Sat
