Alexis Raphael Four To The Floor

The Hot Creations affiliate tells us his current favourites for DJ Mag's next session on April 28th

The DJ Mag Sessions returns to Egg LDN later this month on Friday April 28th with Avortre's Sidney Charles and Sante, with Alexis Raphael in support. 

Having graced labels such as Hot Creations, Jackathon Jams, Culprit, Leftroom, Get Physical and Nervous, the Londoner – who was nominated by DJ Mag for best break-through DJ in 2012 – gave us a glimpse into his USB with his four essentials for the four.

Get more info on the party, which also includes A-Trak, alongside tickets here.

The Emperor Machine - 'Like a Machine (Andrew Weatherall Remix)'

This track takes things into a real analogue gymnastics session. When I play at gigs where I can push things a bit further, this goes down a treat... serious damage. Remixed by one of the masters, this has been a staple of mine for a while.

Larry De Kat - 'A Funky Introduction'

Larry was introduced to me through my Dutch girlfriend's friends. This release on the amazing Dungeon Meat records brings some serious funk whilst skipping along like a 95 UK house and garage record. Love it! Expect to hear it in early parts of my sets or when I'm playing daytimes!

Cristian Viviano - 'Mastycon (Rub a Dub's Re Uptake Remix)'

This track goes down a treat and I love dropping it just as things are building up.in my set, that moment when you lift things up a level and the atmosphere heightens. This is that track!

Cozzy D & Timmy P - 'Meat Feast'

Big one by my partner in crime at Creche. Cozzy, alongside Timmy P, bring this huge anthem to the floor that I just can't help playing out in every single set! Seeing people's faces smile to this one makes me smile too! Great uplifting vibes, proper house music.
