Demdike Stare's favourite tracks


Miles and Sean, the pair behind the ace Testpressing series empty the contents of their psychic record bag


The track we'll be opening our next DJ set with

Various Artists: No 8


Genius workout from the wizard that is Torsten Pröfrock, a mesmerising loop over nearly 20 minutes that unfolds into something very rare-sounding, not quite ambient music, or dancefloor. Incredible.


The track we always play to rescue a dancefloor

Andy Stott: Night Jewel


A driving dancefloor bomb that never lets us down, it rescues then destroys the dancefloor in one fell swoop.


The track that currently gets the most rewinds

Badman: War For '94 (Tango remix)


The proof was at Miles's back-to-back DJ set with Lee Gamble at Unsound 2013. An absolutely rugged mix.


The track we wish we'd signed to our label

In Sync: Storm


Too many to mention, but this is an all-time favourite; timeless UK techno by Lee Purkis on the essential Irdial.


The track that got us out of bed this morning

Mal Waldron: Rock One For Jimbo San


Pure intensity from "The Man", taken from Japanese-only issue Tokyo Bound, an album highly recommended by us.


The ideal festival track

Dia Prometido: Ruisenor Persa


Great Persian sounds mixed with fuzz guitar and percussion breaks.


The track we'd play at our auntie's wedding

Destiny's Child: Say My Name


This will move anyone from the Ritzy in Burnley to the Golden Pudel in Hamburg.


The track we'd play to show off our eclectic tastes

Eazy Teeth: Her Blade


From the Captain Beefheart stable, it features the drummer from the Magic Band. A punishing synth/drums banger.


The track that should have been a crossover hit

MF Doom: Rhymes Like Dimes


A stone-cold classic; on constant rotation since the day it was released.


The track we'd play at sunset in Ibiza

Braxton Holmes: Ron's Foreplay


From the highly sought-after 12 Inches Of Pleasure EP. If we ever do get asked to play a sunset Ibiza set, which would be pretty unlikely, expect deepness like this.


The best track by our favourite new artist

Ron Morelli: Crack Microbes


A deadly piece of music from a top dude.


The track we'd play at our funeral

The Notorious B.I.G.: Kick In The Door


Nuff said!


Demdike Stare play Perc Album Launch, Corsica Studios, SE17, Sat
