From unreleased edits to forthcoming rollers, it's a taste of what's to come when he takes over the Main Room alongside Technasia, Adrian Hour, Metodi Hristov and Mark Storie. On the Terrace upstairs, meanwhile, Weiss' Weiss City welcomes S-Man, aka house hero Roger Sanchez.

Get full details and tickets for the party here and read Mark's interview with Ticket Arena here, where he talks living in airports, balancing creativity with business and playing the final ever Space closing...

1. Basement Jaxx - 'Jump N Shout (Erik Hagleton Remix)'

A wicked edit of one of my favourite Basement Jaxx records that just works every time I play it.

2. SIS – 'Cocou'

A producer who’s been making quality records for years and whose tracks are pretty much a constant presence in my sets: this is yet another winner.

3. Housetronix - 'Vozes Da Savana'

Housetronix is a production duo coming out of Moscow and this is a wicked tribal vibe track with some beautiful melodic elements.

4. Adrian Hour - 'Love Something'

New and unreleased from my man Adrian Hour, this is yet another example of why I think he’s one of the most talented producers out there. Just killer.

5. Steve Silk Hurley - 'The Word Is Love (Erik Hagleton Edit)'

A second outing from Erik in this chart, this time taking on hallowed material with the Steve Silk Hurley classic… and absolutely nailing it.

6 Ramon Tapia - 'Move One'

Another producer who has achieved an unbelievable level of consistency over the years, Ramon’s latest record is a straight up banger.

7. Monte - 'Paper Wings'

A producer hailing from Hamburg, Monte has been really impressing me with the intricate melodies in his records, and this follows the same suit – just great.

8. Dave Clarke - 'Wisdom To The Wise (UMEK Remix)'

A new remix from my good friend UMEK on Dave Clarke’s fantastic original, this is how techno should be – pure and simple.

9. Eren Erdol - Falling (Joeski Remix)

Deep, dark and driving juxtaposed with a super soulful vocal – sounds weird but totally works, love it.

10. Kostas Maskalides - 'What U Need'

This never fails to send people crazy, that looped vocal and punishing kick drum just does something to people. A devastatingly good record.
