Four to the Floor: Wankelmut
Berliner Wankelmut tells us his four fail-safe floorfillers ahead of headlining Egg Presents this Friday 12th...
Wankelmut's four-year-old remix of Asaf Avidan's 'Reckoning Song/One Day', the point the young Berlin producer came crashing into the deep house big league, still sounds as sweetly addictive as the day it was released – so far clocking up over 3.5 million listens. And it was only a year later that he cemented his reputation, following it up with 'My Head Is A Jungle', his collaboration with vocalist Emma Louise, which became runaway hit when it was remixed by MK.
Ahead of his
appearance at Egg Presents this Friday 12th of February, alongside David
Zowie and M.A.X, we asked him for his Four To The Floor – four
personal favourite tracks that are guaranteed floorfillers.

Stefano Noferini vs. Marlena Shaw - 'Women Of The Ghetto'
“Italy’s finest Stefano Noferini
has done this great bootleg-goes-official remix of the 1969 jazz-funk
classic by Marlena Shaw. This is a sure shot in my box for the uptown
crowd and works very well within a set of pure original house music.”
Dusky - 'Love Taking Over'
“Since I started to play more often
in the UK, I got more involved in UK sound and UK production. I
discovered the Dusky duo while preparing my Essential Mix for Pete
Tong. They deliver groovy quality and are a great extension in my
range as a DJ.”
Wankelmut ft. Emma Louise - 'My Head Is A Jungle (MK Remix)'
“Of course, a very important track
for myself. Still amazing what kind of earthquake this track creates
when it gets played in England, Ireland or Scotland. This track
opened a door to the UK which I am very thankful for. I think it’s
also great that a club track like this still can sell 400,000
copies.”
Robosonic & KRS-One - 'Free Flow (Low Steppa Remix)'
“Another sure shot that works all
over the world for every crowd. The Berlin-based Robosonic twist
around with this classic KRS sample, while Low Steppa throws in his
UK garage Bbats. I really like the melting pot of styles which
totally makes sense.”
