Featured DJ: Sumation

Hometown:Toronto

Bio: Sumation has been Djing for more than 10 years with his happy vibes and infectious energy. He currently holds residencies at Church on Church, Fly Nightclub, Zipperz, Byzantium and Club120. He’s recently DJ’d at the TIFF 007 Bond Gala, Snap! Fundraiser for ACT, Splash in New York, Last Call in Ho Chin Minh City, Vietnam and Boite La Cueva in Rio, Brazil.

1. Le Youth – “Cool (Ben Pearce Remix)” (Ultra Records)

This track is by an American EDM DJ & producer who combines R&B with ’90s house music. It samples Cassie’s “Me & U’ and is currently climbing charts in Denmark and the UK.

2. Disclosure – “F For You” (Universal Island Records)

The English EDM duo/brothers’, first UK hit was “Latch”. Their full length album Settle hit number one in the UK and also includes “White Noise”, “You & Me” and this current hit “F For You”. A fun house track that makes you feel like dancing.

3. Breach – “Jack (Mak & Pasteman Remix)” (Dirtybird Records)

The British producer’s hit song on UK, Scotland & Ireland charts. Cool video to watch!!!

4. Dennis Ferrer ft. Janelle Kroll – “Mind Ur Step” (Defected Records)

A great summer Ferrer funk track, just in time for summer! Awesome vocals from chicago’s Janelle Kroll. Loving the “mind ur step” refrain and the deep house sound.

5. Duke Dumont ft. A*M*E – “Need U (100%)” (Maple Music Recordings)

Finally arrives North America after hitting number one in the UK. British DJ and producer Duke Dumont released this big track back in March. It charted in the UK, Belgium, Netherlands and is now on US dance club hit #2. A current club fav on da floor!

6. Kylie Minogue – “Skirt (Extended Mix)” (EMI Records Ltd)

“Skirt” is a buzz single by one of my all time favourite artists Kylie Minogue. Released as an exclusive single on Beatport, it’s a perfect blend of dubstep and house music, alongside Kylie’s sexy vocals. Currently number seven on US dance club chart, and climbing.

 

7. Rihanna ft. David Guetta – “Right Now (Justin Prime Vocal Mix)” (The Island Def Jam Music Group)

This is the 4th single off Rihanna’s Unapologetic album. It became Rihanna’s 20th number one US Hot Dance Chart song. I personally love the original track, but I also like to play the remix by Justin Prime. Check it out!

8. Calvin Harris ft.Ayah Marar – “Thinking About You (Laidback Luke Remix)” (Sony Music Entertainment UK Ltd)

Talking about amazing track records: Scottish DJ and producer Calvin Harris’s latest album 18 Months became the first album in UK history to have nine top 10 singles. “Think About You” is the last single from this album and a great club track with killer remixes, like this one by Laidback Luke.

9. Major Lazer – “Watch Out For This (Bumaye)” (Mad Decent)

Even after Caribana, this massive dancehall track by Major Lazer still packs the dancefloor. Everybody BUMAYE!!

10. Miley Cyrus – “We Can’t Stop” (RCA Records)

You can’t avoid this hypnotic track by Miley Cyrus. With a super addictive video and sing-along lyrics, this is a good track to switch things up or to finish a great night of partying.
