Tune
Mr G – Transient – Whata tune. Excellent vocal sample and for such a deep track this works the floor every single time. never fails. I’d also give a special mention for Tuccillo & Djebali – The Red Circle – which has an incessant groove which very few tracks achieve. It’s such a tightly produced groove with superb arrangement for a total journey and really gives you a bounce.
Album
Darius Syrossian’s – “Balance Presents Do Not Sleep” Full of great tracks and for me a great reflection of his style, and that of Do Not Sleep. It’s a well thought out tracklisting that’s not just an album of the newest tracks.
Remix
Raumakustik-Panther (Format-B Remix), i’ve played this track so many times to various different audiences, guaranteed winner ever single time.
Label
Stil Vor Talent – the release across the genre spectrum from sublime deep house to some killer techno.
Breakthrough label
Politics of Dancing excellent vinyl only label from France bringing what I would describe as some of the finest purist Deep and House music.
Producer
Tuccillo – Always on point with quality deep grooves that work the dance floor. Almost never does he produce a track that even when people don’t know it, they won’t enjoy and dance to it
Festival
The BPM Festival, with it going to celebrate its 10th year this coming Jan, i’ts just got better and better pushing forward thinking underground artists.
Music Conference
International Music Summit, Ibiza. Getting bigger and more important every year, attracting more and more big big names in the industry that now really want to be involved at the conference, plus it’s a great way to start the summer in Ibiza.
Radio Show
Jacks House by Clara Da Costa, love the way Clara presents this show and the music she promotes and pushes.
Mainstage DJ
Carl Cox. I don’t think this needs explaining.
Resident DJ
Willie Graff (Pacha Ibiza) I’ve played with Willie for over 15 years. He constantly surprises me with an amazing selection of tracks from across the genres. A joy to listen to.
Club
DC10 and in particular Circo Loco, instead of if being fronted by a big name DJ, its a party that just attracts the all best djs, has the best underground music and a crowd that truly understand it. What more can you ask for for a great night out.
New Studio Equipment/Software
Pioneer DJM900NXS2 with its much improved sound quality and also better parameters on the filters and effects this is definitely going to be a must for most DJ booths across the globe.
Personal highlight of 2016
Playing at the very last ever Space Closing, end of an era, and it’s an honour to have been a part of the final event of the legendary club.
Your ambition for 2017…
Be happy, enjoy the music, the crowd, the atmosphere and the party. It’s not about personal gains and triumphs, thats what the scene and DJing is all about.
