Regal86 – Just Another Chords 

This track was my anthem for the entire summer season. Whether in a dimly lit club basement or at a moody festival, Regal86’s ‘La Onda’ is a weapon that fits any vibe, anywhere, anytime. Regal86 has been absolutely slaying it in the production game for ages. He doesn’t compromise. Regal’s productions are always outstanding, unique and full of excitement. The real trip for the dance floor.

 1morning – Cycles

These beautiful and mind-bending pads will straight up take you on a journey, no kidding. This track never fails to pull me into a long and trippy extended set with the crowd. Make sure you to check out more of 1morning’s tracks and DJ sets – it’s a solid tip!

Robert Hood – Nothing Stops Detroit

Throughout this summer, I kicked off numerous sets with Robert Hood’s “Nothing Stops Detroit,” and it consistently worked out perfect. This track is a beast of a peak time opener. Pitched up and layered with some more driven and ride full tracks, this combination will set the dance floor on fire. 100 percent essences of Detroit! 

Marco Bailey – Start It Up

A proper banger with the perfect amount of groove and dirt in it. Love it.

 Hasvat Informant aka HgB-8A! – Hive Sedation

The composition under Hasvat Informant’s HgB-8A! moniker transports you to a different realm entirely. Stunning sound design with a spoon full of melancholy. That track is made to be played on a summer techno occasion.

 Sally C – All Love

Sally C’s ‘All Love’ is just the perfect fit for a warm summer night. That groove is unbeatable.

 DJ Deeon – Freak Like Me

An absolutely mood enhancer to open a good peak time sets. Layered with a good pumpin loop underneath ‘Freak Like Me’ will set the direction on the dance floor.

 Rico & C. – Chiquita (Rifts Epic Ripoff feat. Tarta Relena)

This remix by my mate Rifts is definitely my top choice for this summers open airs season. Once again, Rifts has captured the essence of the original track perfectly. The bass in the remix is incredibly powerful – ‘Vamos A Bailar’.”

Lexy & K-Paul – Lets Play

Occasionally slightly cheesy, but it consistently serves as an excellent choice for wrapping up a festival when the sun begins to rise.

 Yazoo – Don’t Go

Absolutely my choice for the final track right now, especially after an extended set.
