His signature fusion of rhythms and hip-hop has dominated Beatport’s Tech House charts, while his high-energy DJ sets light up dancefloors around the world.
Since 2021, Wade has been building his Criterio Music brand by fusing Andalusian roots with modern club energy. Now, with the support of Spinnin’ Records, the label has taken a bold new step. Their first joint release, Wade’s ‘Báilame’, dropped — a horn-driven, groove-loaded anthem that captures the essence of Criterio’s vision.
To celebrate the moment, Wade shares a selection of 10 club-ready cuts pulled from his current rotation — from percussive fire to melodic closers.
1. Wade – Báilame
“My latest track released on Criterio. You know I’ve always been a fan of trumpets and this is the proof. ‘Báilame’ is a no-nonsense call to dance, bold and straight to the point.”
2. Paul Adam, Mia Millet – Everybody Dance Now
“An energy bomb. Paul and Mia put a fresh spin on a classic we all know. First time I heard it during a warm-up, I was hooked by that clean yet punchy groove. Instant good vibes!”
3. David Tort & Johnny I. – Drumrolls
“David’s a veteran who always delivers good tracks. This song is perfect for raising the energy mid-set. Raw percussion, kick with a long tail and that old-school touch that always works on the floor.”
4. Alexander Delanois – Bad Mad
“I love when a track has real personality and this one’s got loads. ‘Bad Mad’ sounds wild, almost like the kick drum’s pissed off. Great for switching gears and grabbing attention.”
5. Basilone – La Bala
“Brazilian vocals always work and this one hits hard. It’s dark, tribal, and has that rough energy I really dig. The name fits perfectly: it hits like a bullet you can’t dodge.”
6. Welker – La Batucada
“Brazil on point! A percussive madness that just screams summer. It’s packed with South American flavor but polished in all the right ways. When I want the dancefloor to go full carnival mode, this is my weapon.”
7. Sante Sansone – On The Ground
“This track’s all about groove, right up my alley. It strikes that balance between elegance and punch, perfect for keeping people in a flow without losing the drive.”
8. REBRN – ‘For Your Head’
“This one’s hypnotic. I love using it to build atmosphere. It’s subtle but deep — like a mental massage that slowly pulls you into another zone without you even noticing. Perfect track for open air festivals.”
9. LEFTI – Deep Down
“I like house tunes and LEFTI always brings that disco-house flavor I love. ‘Deep Down’ blends retro vibes with modern production, perfect for those moments when you want to put smiles on people’s faces.”
10. Cirez D – On Off
“A modern classic. Every time I drop this one, the crowd reacts. It’s a masterclass in how minimal elements can create massive tension. Simple, yeah, but insanely effective. One of the best closing tracks ever.”
Wade’s ‘Bailame’ is out now via Criterio Music / Spinnin’ Records. Stream and download here.
