Jamie xx ft. The Avalanches – All You Children
Label: Young Turks
“I’m so happy that Jamie xx is back with a new album. ‘All You Children’ is one of my favourites because it’s such a feel-good track. The vibe is upbeat, the bassline infectious, and the vocal chops perfectly complement the rhythm. It’s one of those tracks that instantly makes me want to dance, whether I’m at home or in a club. We need more music like this. It’s definitely going to be in heavy rotation in my sets, and I think it’ll be a crowd favourite.”
Nyra & Richard X – Into Your Groove
Label: Canoe
“Nyra is having a standout year, dropping bangers one after another. Whether it’s his own work or his collaborations, like the ones with Chloé Caillet, everything is on point. His tracks really stand out for me because they capture that nostalgic old-school ’90s vibe that I love, while still sounding fresh and modern. It’s a difficult balance to achieve, but he does it effortlessly. ‘Into Your Groove’ is a perfect example of his talent, and it’s definitely going to be a staple in my sets. I’m excited to see what he has in store next.”
Cromby – Like A Diva
Label: Hypersoft
“If you enjoy heavy, pumping beats with a catchy bass and synth line, paired with simple yet effective vocals, you’ll love ‘Like A Diva’ by Cromby. It’s a high-energy track that’s perfect for the peak-time hours of a se,t when the crowd is ready to go all out. I love how it manages to be both driving and fun, with just the right amount of catchiness to keep people engaged. It’s also great for those moments when you’re driving and want to turn the volume all the way up. A perfect track for both the dancefloor and the car.”
John Talabot – Without You
Label: !K7
“‘Without You’ by John Talabot is one of those timeless tracks I can’t stop listening to. It was a highlight on his DJ-Kicks mix CD, and it’s been a staple in my warm-up sets ever since. The atmosphere he creates in this track is simply unbelievable – it’s deep, emotional, and so well-produced that I find myself getting lost in it every time. His ability to blend subtle layers and create such a captivating mood is something I truly admire. It’s no wonder he’s been one of the most respected producers in the scene for years. This track is a testament to his genius.”
Chromeo – Fancy Footwork
Label: Turbo Recordings
“‘Fancy Footwork’ and I go way back. This track was one of the first I played when I started DJing electronic music in a small bar in Hamburg, called Pooca. It was during the golden era of the Ed Banger sound, and while Chromeo wasn’t part of that label, they were definitely a part of that time. I almost forgot about this song until I rediscovered it while going through my hard drive recently. It brought back so many great memories, and it’s amazing how it still sounds as fresh today. Working with them on a track would be a dream come true. Who knows? Maybe one day!”
Ben Evers – Acid Orchestra EP is out October 18th on Eternal Sunhsine.
