Avision – Good Time – Ellum
What I love about this track is that it has all the energy of a proper club record, but it never feels too serious. The groove keeps pushing forward, and then that vocal comes in and adds this fun, carefree feeling. It’s one of those tracks that works almost anywhere, whether you’re in a warehouse at 3am, or at a festival with thousands of people. It just puts people in a good mood.
Rolbac – Where Is My Love – Circus Recordings
‘Where Is My Love’ came from a music retreat, and I think that’s why it feels different to me. We were away from our usual routines, surrounded by nature, and creating without any pressure. Sometimes the best ideas come when you’re not trying too hard. The track has this beautiful emotional pull to it. Every time I listen to it, it brings me back to that moment, but there’s also a touch of nostalgia in it.
Roman Flügel – 9 Years (DJ Koze Remix) – Pampa Records
This track takes me back. Back when I was discovering electronic music and really trying to understand what made certain records feel timeless. Both DJ Koze and were huge inspirations for me during that period. It’s emotional, hypnotic, and somehow playful at the same time. The track keeps evolving without ever forcing the journey.
ChaseWest – D.O.P.E. – Chaste Records
I’m a sucker for grooves, and D.O.P.E. is all groove. It’s one of those records where the second it comes on, I can’t stand still. The best way I can describe it is that it moves your whole body, not just your feet. Whether you’re behind the decks or on the dancefloor, you feel it instantly. That’s why it’s become one of my all-time favourite bangers. And the fact that ChaseWest is Lebanese, like me, makes it even more special. It’s always inspiring to see artists from Lebanon creating records that connect with people all over the world.
Maceo Plex – Conjure Balearia -Ellum
Conjure Balearia is a special track for me because it combines two things I love most in dance music: emotion and energy. It can make you close your eyes and feel something, while still keeping an entire dancefloor moving. Maceo Plex has always been one of my favourite artists because he’s a master at creating that balance.
Spiller, Sophie Ellis-Bextor – GrooveJet (If This Ain’t Love) (Not Without Friends Extended Remix) – Defected
For me, it’s a great example of how funk and house music can come together. It has the warmth and soul of funk, but it’s built around a groove that works perfectly in a modern club setting. It’s sophisticated without feeling serious.
Seliga – Tech House 3000 – Trance Atlantyk Records
Tech House 3000 gives me that feeling I used to get hearing trance records years ago, but without sounding dated. It has that rush, that sense of anticipation, that feeling that something big is about to happen. But at the same time, the groove keeps everything moving.
Tuccillo, The Checkup – Aguas Congas (Reboots Extrapicante Rework) – Heattraxx
As a DJ, there are tracks that give you energy, and there are tracks that give you control. This track gives you control. It’s the kind of record you reach for when you want to change the mood of the room and bring everyone onto the same wavelength.
DJ Minx, Life on Planets – Nights Like These – Women on Wax Recordings
Nights Like These is one of those tracks that always puts me in a certain headspace. It’s dark, driving, and incredibly hypnotic. Every element feels like it’s working toward the same destination.
Sonickraft – Tearing Us Apart – Days Like Nights
As a DJ, I love playing tracks like this when I want to bring a bit more depth into a set. After a run of groove-driven records, something like ‘Tearing Us Apart’ can completely change the atmosphere. You can feel people looking up, becoming more present, almost getting lost in the music for a few minutes.
Rolbac ‘Where Is My Love’ is out now on Circus Recordings.
