#MyRecordBag – Reset Robot’s top after-hours tracks

Reset Robot, aka DJ and producer Dave Robertson, recently released his latest EP, Simple, on Sasha‘s Last Night On Earth imprint, following on from previous excursions on the label, such as last year’s Meltwater EP.

Weaving elements of techno and house – both minimal and heavier styles – into his productions, the Portsmouth-based artist has also released on labels such as Get Physical, Soma and Drumcode and Truesoul, over a career that is approaching the two-decade mark.

For this week’s #MyRecordBag, Reset Robot shares his top after-hours tracks – cuts for when everything starts to get a bit hazy… 🙂

Tim Green – Sea Parade [Shanti Radio]

“This has the perfect balance between club and after-hours, in my opinion. Smooth drums, beautiful synths and pads create such a nice atmosphere. This would be in my bag at all times!”

Boku – Fading Echos [Just Like That]

“This is a bit more pacey, and I would definitely slow it down if I were playing it. It has exactly the vibe I’d be looking for for those early morning sessions. Energetic, uplifting and very danceable.”

Leon Vynehall – Duofade [Studio Ooze]

“Love this record. It’s a filthy little number which you could probably play at any time. For the after-hours, this would be great if people still wanted something a bit more gritty, as it still fits with the more melodic stuff.”

Nic Fanciulli & Butch – I Want You [Defected]

“A great house record! This would work perfectly for me because sometimes you just need one of these records to get the dancefloor going, even if it’s after-hours.”

Stephan Bazbaz – Locus

“This has been in my bag for a while, and I’ve used it to warm up a room a few times, but this is also perfect for the after-hours party. Great energy in the drums, with atmospheric pads and FX giving it that deep, heady vibe.”

Ross From Friends – High Energy [Ostgut Ton]

“Not sure I need to write much about this one. One of my favourite Ross From Friends tracks. Close your eyes, listen and be transported to another world.”

DJ T, Simon Sheldon & LOEW – Blaze [Get Physical]

“Absolute masterpiece! This is one of those tunes that would work in so many sets. It has a timeless, classic feel that, for me, would be amazing at an after-hours party! Mixing this into some housey/melodic stuff would work perfectly.”

DJ Seinfeld – Please Slow Down [Young Ethics]

“Something about this track just grabs hold of me and makes me stop and listen. It’s my favourite DJ Seinfeld track and just gives me a huge dose of nostalgia. Trancey, ravey, timeless are words that come to mind.”

Daphni – YeYe [Jiaolong]
