Based just over the water from Ibiza on the Spanish mainland in Barcelona, Pole Position is the exciting new project brought to life by Loïc Le Joliff (founder of the city's party series Brunch Electronik) and Jaime Alguersuari (otherwise known as Cova Santa regular Squire).
Connected by their shared passion for electronic music and Formula 1 racing (see where they got the name), Pole Position's wide-ranging tastes brought them together.
Between them, they share strikingly similar influences, spanning Jazz, Soul, Funk and Hip-Hop to the melodic soundscapes both them and their label Anims are becoming known for.
Ahead of Loïc and Jaime's appearance at Cova Santa's Opening Party next week, we handed them control of our aux lead. Here is their Melodic Techno playlist takeover.
Pole Position's Melodic Techno playlist takeover
Squire & Pole Positon | Against The System | TAU
"This track was released on TAU a couple of months ago. We've been playing it at peak times during the night and also when we play open-air venues. This is our most psychedelic side of us and we still love to play it very loud!"
Frankey & Sandrino | Memories | Innervisions
"Simplicity meets epic-ness. A track that just came out on the mighty Innervisions, the perfect song to kick-off the night and get the dancefloor ready to rumble."
Channan Hanif | Got This | Anims
"Released on our label Anims, we were big fans of Channan's music when we first heard it. Got This is a perfect track to play in big clubs and open-air parties in the middle of your set. We love it so much!"
Samer Soltan | Hurricane | TAU
"We are big fans of Samer's work. But this one in particular is a big winner during the night. We just love the groove and the main hooklines of the song! An excellent EP on TAU."
Pole Position | Burning To Me (Hardt Antoine Remix) | Anims
"We've been playing this one for a long time now and we never get bored of it. It's just that we love the groove of Hardt Antoine's music. Here, he just reinterpreted a cool version of our track Burning To Me, mixing the vocals with some crazy leads that spices up the dancefloor."

Looking to the summer ahead, Pole Position said of the season,"We feel very excited to play in Ibiza this summer.
It has always been on our radar for many years now and it's like a second home for us. It's always unique and special because we have many friends around and, of course, the crowd is one of the best. No matter if we play inside a club or in an open-air space, Ibiza never disappoints."
You can catch Pole Position alongside Booka Shade, dOP, Henry Saiz and Los Suruba at Cova Santa's Opening Party this time next week on Saturday 18 May.
