The track I'll be opening my next DJ set with

Matrixxman: Protocol

Elaborate intros only work for some parties; other times you have to get right into the drums. If I play for two hours, I'm mostly playing only drums for about 30 minutes. It's so effective.

The track I always play to rescue a dancefloor

Jimmy Edgar: Shout

Rescuing the dancefloor is exactly what this was made for. When I grew up in Detroit, I was into the music that people listened to when they wanted to actually dance: funk and booty music. This applies that to European club culture.

The track that currently gets the most rewinds

Skream: Rollercoaster (Jimmy Edgar remix)

Can people please stop asking me if this is a dubstep track? Even Skream himself doesn't give a fuck about dubstep any more.

The track I'd play to show off my eclectic tastes

Oneohtrix Point Never: Problem Areas

His album is the best of the year. Or I could pick Brandy; I was all about her in the 90s. I grew up on MTV R&B.

The track that got me out of bed this morning

My Aum meditations

I play them when I need some assistance in relaxation. I just recorded my voice and stretched it out and made it sound like a temple.

The track I wish I'd signed to my label

Sophie Bipp

Sophie is a good friend and I was into these tracks; I considered starting my label because I loved them so much.

The track I think has been unfairly slept on this year

Daniel Avery: Naive Response

I thought this track was slept on but I've actually been hearing it a few times. A future classic: we need more risky beat-driven tracks that tick the body clock.

The track I'd play at my auntie's wedding

Art Of Noise: Moments In Love

I'd probably just put on all the different versions; there are so many it would probably last the whole time. It's hilarious to imagine my aunt remarrying at 50.

The track I wish I'd never played

I don't live with regrets, but I love the story about Richie Hawtin thinking the Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack was a great track to play at Timewarp. Fucking classic.

The track I'd play at my funeral

Depeche Mode: World In My Eyes

What do you say about one of the best Depeche Mode tracks? Nothing, it speaks on its own.

Jimmy Edgar plays Fabriclive, EC1, Fri
