Boy 8-Bit Q&A

The track I'll be opening my next DJ set with Julio Bashmore: Um Bongo's Revenge This is great, as it can be used to pick up the energy levels, or bring them down a bit if the warm up has been over-zealous. The track I always play to rescue a dancefloor Stephan Bodzin & Oliver Huntemann: Rubin This came out in 2006 and I played it to death. I recently dug it out again and it still works a treat. A tough call-and-response bassline and trademark white noise. Classic. The track I wish I'd signed to my label DJ Trace: Mutant Revisited Theoretically improbable, but a great memory from my formative clubbing and producing years. I would have loved to have been involved in the 90s D&B scene. The track I'd play to show off my eclectic tastes Habib: Madar Persian folk-pop song with a great groove. It has to be the original version, not the dodgy Eurodance one! The track I'd play at my auntie's wedding Liverpool Express: You Are My Love A proper soppy, poppy love song. I think they were a one-hit wonder so I doubt many would remember it, but its message is pretty clear and apt. The track I'd play at sunset in Ibiza Stephan Bodzin Vs Marc Romboy: Phobos The ultimate melancholic melodic techno track. I heard this for the first time outdoors in Ibiza when DJ Touche played it, so it would be going full circle. The best track by my favourite new artist Rockwell: My War Sinister, clinical, minimal drum'n'bass monster. I'd been a bit out of the loop with D&B so had a little dig about and found this. Sounds fresh to me. The ideal festival track Butch: 1000 Lords (West) Unashamedly huge, whooshing, white noise monster. It's borderline trance, but you do need a few big hitters for the festivals. The track that got me out of bed this morning Mort Garson: Ode To An African Violet Amazing instrumental synth music intended to play to your plants. The melody and harmonies are wonderful. The track I want played at my funeral Ashra: Nightdust Epic prog-synth drone-out. I'd want the whole thing played to soundtrack my transition out of this mortal plane. Would hopefully get some laughs … Boy 8-Bit plays The Queen Of Hoxton's Third Birthday Bash, EC2, Sat
