Hoxton Whores XXL Top Twenty

Those Whores are back at XXL next Saturday 30th April . We thought we’d whet your appetite by asking them to select ten of their favourite tracks each! Who knows? They might be serving some of them up next week! 

GARY’S TOP TEN

1. Mihalis Safras – ‘Freedom’
   Great DJ tool for XXL driving beats with a great sax supplied by Black Machine – How Gee for the old school heads amongst the crowd..
2. Barbara Tucker / Blaze – ‘Most Precious Love’ (Jerome Robbins Mix)
   One of my guilty pleasure tracks brought up to date with Jerome Robbins on the remix duties never seems to fail and always great to hear this on Pulse’s speakers.
3. Shane K – ‘Jack’d’
   This was road tested at XXL and the response was so big we signed it to our Whorehouse label and pleased to say was a big track for the label last year.
4. Erick Morillo – ‘Dancin’ (Doorly Remix)
   So pleased this got a new lease of life. Massive track for us the first time around, great to see it still has the response we are looking for and a good excuse to let the CO2 cannons loose.
5. Gene Farris – ‘Move Your Body’ (Nathan Barato Mix)
   Title says it all to be honest – filthy beats of the highest order.
6. Loco & Jam – ‘Just Can’t Stop’
   Another reason we love playing XXL. We can go from a big vocal to some Techno. This certainly delivers.
7. Hoxton Whores – ‘Sunrise’
   My all time favourite HW track and love the response this still gets all these years later – such a great feeling when you catch the people still singing the words. I like to try and finish off with this when possible.
8. Rene Amez – ‘Like It Deep’
   Such a haunting vocal and a bass line to die for.
9. Casey – ‘Heart Of Glass’
   Everyone loves Blondie right? When possible I love to slip this in.
10. Gabry Venus – ‘Wrong’ (Hoxton Whores mix)
    Our latest remix we did for LW Recordings, went down a storm last time we played.

KEV’S TOP TEN

1. Hoxton Whores – ‘Who’s the Bad Man’
   This is our very latest project and we got to road test it last month for the first time. Big chunky beats, familiar vocal sample and overloaded with a driving energy. We definitely had the XXl crowd in mind whilst in the studio producing this gem!
2. Reload & Esquire ft Leanne Brown – ‘Dirty Cash’ (Esquire 2016 Remake)
   We are all familiar with “Stevie V – Dirty Cash” and Esquire has done an amazing job bringing it right up to date with these solid beats and big lead synth! We’re literally all over this!!!
3. Dj Wady, & Carlos Jimenez – ‘Spin The Box’ (Original Mix)
   Probably my favourite tune from 2014, a real piece of energetic tech house with a fat rolling bass, and a major piano riff… put simply, it just works!!
4. Hoxton Whores – Devil Toy’ (Sandy B Vocal Unreleased mix)
   The instrumental version was a huge release for us a few years back but for our own personal use we laid the “Sandy B – Make The World Go Round” acapella over the top which has turned it into a true XXL anthem.
5. Agua Sin Gas by Antoine Clamaran – ‘Tijuana’ (Original Mix)
   Just released this week on our Whore House label, we’ve had this in the bag for a few months and it’s a class piece of house music produced by one of my current favourite artists, Antoine Clamaran..
6. Antonio Giacca – ‘Birdland’ (Original Mix)
   Again on the tech house front only recently released but ready to get the XXL dance floor treatment!
7. Hoxton Whores – ‘The Power’
   Released at the start of the year. We have had some major feedback on this track and the massive “Snap” sample always gets a fantastic response from XXL crowd. Guaranteed to create a big hands-in-the-air moment!!
8. Mark Knight & Lee Van Dowski – ‘Fall Down On Lee’ (Original Mix)
   Coming from one of my favourite labels Toolroom Records, this main room house track packs the perfect punch for the XXL crowd and will certainly be slamming the speakers on the 30^th April!!
9. The Cube Guys – ‘Music In My Head’ (Original Miami Mix)
   Love the Cube Guys productions and this is one of their latest but it carries all the required elements for XXL.
10. Hoxton Whores – ‘Everybody Dance Now’
    Probably the biggest track we’ve produced over the last 3 years, using C&C Music Factory’s most famous vocal this is a must each time we play at XXL and always receives an amazing response!

• The Hoxton Whores are playing next Saturday 30th April at XXL (Pulse, 1 Invicta Plaza, South Bank,  SE1 9UF), 10pm – 7am. £8 members, £15 guests.
