STBAN – Ibiza Jaleo – Flamenca
This one just feels like the island to me — full of energy, rhythm, and pure Ibiza vibes. That place will always be special in my heart.
Pagano – Naxos – Toolroom
Such a hypnotic groove here. I love how it builds and keeps you locked in… it’s got that late-night magic.
Hot Since 82 – Sonedo – Hot Creations
A modern classic that never loses its edge. Also a track I always come back to. The bassline is so chunky and the vocals just stick with you — instant dance floor mood.
Alan Dixon x mOat x Tom Diesel – The Underground – DFTD
Funky, raw, and the kind of track that just makes you lose track of time on the floor.
Dennis Cruz – Bonito – Solid Grooves
Dennis always delivers. This one’s got groove, pure Cuban Latin vibe that gets everyone smiling.
Tom & Collins, JADED, CRCLE – Ibiza – The Myth of NYX
An anthem for the island. Ibiza will always be a special place for me, and this track captures that energy perfectly — I play it almost all the time in my sets.
Christof – Tha Music – Consequence Of Society
Love how stripped back this one is. Just house in its purest form, no fuss, just groove.
APRD – Something Spanish – Spitfire Music
I like how this track blends rhythm and soul — it’s got that Latin energy that always speaks to me.
Ignition Ross – Toda La Noche – Blanco Y Negro
Latin fire all night long. The vocals and the beat together — it’s impossible not to move.
STBAN – Baila Conmigo – Flamenca
As Crusy said: “its hypnotic Spanish voice and purely Spanish chords stir something deep in my soul.”
STBAN, Josemi Carmona, Soleá Morente and James Hurr ‘El Camino’, is out now on Toolroom Trax.
