3. Orange/Minus1 - Richie Hawtin

Playing this in Ireland is one of his fondest memories: "I can vividly remember playing this in the Guinness Store house. It felt so intense in there and this track definitely got it going. The Guinness factory set was absolutely amazing, one of my favourite memories from DJing" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QJl_HKjLYU Clip via INSIDE TECHNO

Kettama - Raw Cuts

New national anthem? Topping reckons so: "This has been a huge one for me this summer and I got to play it at Boxed Off festival this year, It's becoming an Irish anthem!"

Get With You - Anthony Fade

He will always associate this one with Ireland, saying: This sticks in my mind from when I played on the grass in Dublin city, as part of the city takeover. It was during the day and everyone was circled around me going mad!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJvJOwr3AL8 Clip via Shall Not Fade These should definitely get you in the mood for his two sell-out gigs in District 8 on 2 and 3 November.
