1. Samantha Loveridge – Backtrack Blow Up
“It only seems right to start with this one. It’s the track that sparked my relationship with CamelPhat, which led to me playing for them and their residency at Pacha Ibiza this season. Of all the tracks I’ve made, this is one of my favourites — with the big reveal being that it’s me on the vocal.”
2. Konvex, Meloko, Garla – If U Ever
“The synth in the break of this track says it all. It gives you that ‘what is that sound?!’ feeling and gives me that early 2000s melodic techno nostalgia.”
3. Trallez – Ladies & Gentlemen (TOBEHONEST Remix)
“Clean and clever. The vocal is fun and I love the pitch work in the break. This one has all the elements of an indie dance hit.”
4. Bedouin – Better Than This (Baron & Dorian Craft Remix)
“A bold (and brave) remix of an already brilliant track. The lead is absolutely epic!”
5. Tom & Collin, Cato Anaya – No Sleep (No Me Dejan Dormir) (DvirNuns Extended Remix)
“Afro meets melodic! Listen to that drop and imagine the dancefloor lifting for yourself.”
6. Dave Seaman – Donkey Engine (SKALA Remix)
“SKALA’s drums are on fire here. A new one I can’t wait to drop on tour.”
7. Bruno Furlan – Line Five
“I’m not sure how I came across this track. It’s 9 years old but only made its way to my USBs this year. It’s that classic Dirtybird sound I used to get down to, and it ignites an electric crowd reaction.”
8. Luca Saporito – U Don’t Want This
“The groove, vocal (right up my street), bass, synth—this one ticks all the boxes. I will definitely be playing it at Pacha.“
9. Brunello – The Clown’s Corridor
“Speaking of groove, does it get any groovier? A signature Brunello vibe and another one I’ll be playing at Pacha.“
10. Samantha Loveridge & TreeTalk – Losing My Religion
“Started with one of my tracks and finishing with one! I made this during a time when bootlegs/edits weren’t as popular as they are now, and it has been a huge success with the help of TreeTalk’s almost identical sounding vocal. I’m very grateful for this track and the role it’s played in my career. I was also told Michael Stipe himself has heard it and loves it, the biggest compliment I could receive!”
