Haskell’s decade-long journey through electronic music is marked by his embrace of tech-house’s rhythmic propulsion and groove-focused minimalism. A fixture on the global circuit, he has graced stages from Ibiza to Dubai, delivering sets that pulse with kinetic energy and supporting legendary artists such as Carl Cox. His selections oscillate between deep cuts and crowd-pleasers, always grounded in the percussive heft of tech-house, and occasionally flirting with the raw, visceral edge of peak-time house. His latest single is ‘Go Deep’, alongside Mark Knight and Gene Farris. The collaborations signal a deepening of his artistic voice, promising a series of releases in 2025 that will push his sound into bolder, more experimental territories. DMCWorld goes Trainspotting with Haskell.
Deetron – Runnin – Nu Groove
Just an absolute vibe. Every time you hear it it’s just incredible energy. I put it into every single one of my sets if I can.
James Haskell, Mark Knight, Gene Farris – Go Deep – Toolroom
My new track with Mark and Gene is one I’m super proud of. Mark and I worked out the track and Gene just came on and smashed the vocal like the legend he is.
Mochakk – Jealousy – Circo Loco
Love the disco on this, and has super punchy vocals and an infectious rhythm. Definitely one I’ll be playing for a while.
Julian Collazos – Londresway – Moon Harbour
Perfect for late-night sets – this is a real heads down kind of vibe.
Booker T and The MG’s – Green Onions (Justin Welling Edit) – White
This is just the perfect kind of vibe track to get a party started. And everyone immediately think of Pulp Fiction of course.
VLTRA – 2 The Bit – Repopulate Mars
Perfect for peak-time energy on the dance floor.
PAWSA – Pick Up The Phone feat. Nate Dogg (Extended Mix) – PAWZ
Slick groove on this fusing Nate Dogg’s smooth vocal hooks with PAWSA’s deep, rolling basslines. A modern club weapon with a nod to classic West Coast vibes.
Cloonee, GREG – Still My Baby (Original Mix) – Hellbent
Love the Brazilian rhythms – total vibe. Always get asked what this one is.
Flowdan, Fisher – Boost Up (Extended Mix) – Catch & Release
Clearly for me he’s a real idol of mine in terms of building a brand. Music. Everything he puts out is a belter. This is another one.
Nic Fanciulli – Set Me Free feat. Robert Courtois (Extended Mix) – Saved
Nick Fanciulli can do no wrong. His new track was something he sent me a while ago before it came out and it’s been a big part of my sets.
Dave Winnel – Bang It (Extended Mix) – Voraya
Again a track that I play in most sets when I really want some high energy vibes. Works every time.
