1. ESG – Dance
My manager introduced this track to me while on tour recently in the states, he soon had me hooked. I believe the group of grandmas from Manhattan are still touring and have been since 1981, so funky.
2. Doppel – Melt (Retza’s Diving Mix)
3. Booka Shade – Love Inc
Booka Shade have always been a favourite for Melbournians, growing up here, their influence on local dance music culture was huge. The hype leading into their shows was always enormous.

4. Huxley – Let It Go
This track was a big influence on the sound of my early productions, I was absolutely hooked from day dot. A simple looped vocal hook, with a nice warm bass line melody, bliss.
5. Escape – Just Escape (Justin Martin Remix)

7. Flight Facilities – Apollo

9. Icarus – Hiding
I’m noticing a trend for Melancholy music here.
10. Tourist – Apollo (Edit)
I heard this friends party a few months back, I believe it’s some of
