The track I’ll be opening my next DJ set with
Street Corner Symphony: Street Corner Symphony

It really depends on the DJ who’s playing before me, but if I could just start new and play whatever I wanted, it would be this. It just makes you want to move and dance.

The track I always play to rescue a dancefloor
Audion: Mouth To Mouth

This was a hit when minimal was big, but I’m now playing it 10 years later in a different context. Everyone freaks out whenever I play it – it always works.

The track that currently gets the most rewinds
Sharif Laffrey: Key Jam (ACID)

It’s groovy and sexy – all of a sudden everyone is dancing rather than just marching on the dancefloor.

The track I wish I’d signed to my label
Georgio: Bedrock (Dub A Dub A Doo Mix)

Who would have thought that a track like this would come out on Motown? My ex-boyfriend found it ages ago in a €2 bin and it became an instant staple in my sets. I never get tired of it, so it would have been perfect for Love On The Rocks.

The track that should have been a crossover hit
Fantastic Man: A Fountain Gate

A Love On The Rocks track. Sorry for the shameless self-love, but this is such a good jam.

The track I’d play at my auntie’s wedding
Jalal Hemati: Mahvash, Parivash

Since I have a Persian background. I love the rhythm of this.

The track I’d play at sunset in Ibiza
Begin: Optical Holiday Pt 2

This one for sure. It’s dreamy and bittersweet, and sets the vibe for a magical night where anything could happen.

The track I’d play at my funeral
Notorious BIG: Hypnotize

I didn’t understand many of the words when I was younger, but it has such a strong groove and reminds me of my childhood. This pick probably explains the absurdity of my life.
