DJ Chart: Cyril Hahn (PMR)
An eclectic ten track selection from Cyril Hahn ahead of his appearance in Glasgow
This month’s chart comes courtesy of Cyril Hahn, ahead of his set at Killer Kitsch, The Buff Club’s weekly incitement to write off your Wednesday morning. Recently signed to PMR, Hahn has gained acclaim as a talented remixer, putting his spin on tracks by Jessie Ware, Gabrielle Aplin and Haim, as well as producing a delicately sombre re-working of the nineties Destiny’s Child classic, Say My Name. In recent months he has graced both Rob Da Bank and Annie Mac’s Radio 1 shows with guest mixes. As a teaser for his set in Glasgow, Cyril talks us through ten tracks he has been hammering of late.
Romare – The Blues (It Began in Africa) [Black Acre]
I really love this song. Apparently he spent about a year just collecting samples.
Justin Timberlake – Suit & Tie (Julio Bashmore Remix) [Free Download, Soundcloud]
It’s great how Bashmore combines this new track with lots of old school drum machine percussion.
KNYT – Roses for Nancy [Free Download, Soundcloud]
I’m a sucker for organic sounding hip hop instrumentals.
Machinedrum – A New Meaning [Free Download, Soundcloud]
The melody is so beautiful and the footwork beat is spasmodic. I love how he makes these two elements work together.
Rappin’ 4-Tay – Playaz Club [Rag Top Records]
This is a silly 90s hip hop jam which I can’t stop listening to these days.
Fort Romeau – Love (Dub) [Ghostly International]
Fort Romeau is one of my all time favourite artists. This is his latest track.
John Talabot – Last Land (Kenton Slash Demon Remix) [Permanent Vacation]
I really dig John Talabot’s original stuff but this remix is great. It has a really dark vibe to it that I love.
Giraffage – Close 2 Me [Alpha Pup]
This is simply a great song from a great album.
How to Dress Well - & It Was You (Elite Gymnastics Remix) [Acéphale/Weird World]
I love How to Dress Well and Elite Gymnastics. You can tell that neither of them overthink their music which is something I really admire.
Homework – I’m Into This [Exploited]
Finally, this one is a great house track with a hilarious Moodymann sample. Say no more!
