The deep house duo empty the contents of their psychic record bag
The track we'll be opening our next DJ set with
Dusky: 9T8 (Intro edit)
Recently we've been starting our sets with this special edit forthcoming on School Records.
The track we always play to rescue a dancefloor
A Guy Called Gerald: Voodoo Ray (Shield re-edit)
An all-time classic that's been given a fresh lick of paint. Very close to the original but with some modern sheen and punch.
The track that currently gets the most rewinds
Shenoda: Leslie Crowther
The way the subs kick in after the ethereal breakdown does serious damage on the dancefloor.
The track we think has been unfairly slept on this year
Banton: How You Gonna Treat Me
The retro 90s vocal gets people going every time.
The track we wish we'd signed to our label
Ten Walls: Requiem
Simple, classy, and timeless-sounding house music for the world's deeper dancefloors.
The track we wish we'd never played
Gary Glitter: Leader Of The Gang (I Am!)
"Do you wanna be in my gang, my gang, my gang?"
The track we'd play to show off our eclectic tastes
Brian Blade & The Fellowship Band: Improvisation
We included snippets of this jazz drummer in our XLR8R mix. It's about as far away from electronic music as you can get but it worked great in a sonic collage of other elements that introduced it.
The best track by our favourite new artist
Paleman: Handy Clue
Super-talented young producer from Manchester whose jazz drumming education makes his percussive techno sound really stand out from the pack.
The ideal festival track
Laurent Garnier: Flashback (Christian Smith & Wehbba remake)
Hands-in-the-air business.
The track we'd play at my auntie's wedding
Plastikman: Spastik
Just to see how she'd react. She'd probably have a heart attack.
The track that should have been a crossover hit
George FitzGerald: I Can Tell By The Way You Move
Great track that had huge potential to cross over during the summer but for some unknown reason stayed relatively underground.
The track we'd play at our funeral
Queen: Don't Stop Me Now
Oh, the irony.
Dusky play The Warehouse Project, Manchester, Sat
