Solid Grooves smashed up Privilege's aesthetically pleasing Vista Club for 16 massive weeks this summer, during which time the likes of Huxley, Detlef, PAWSA, Leftwing & Kody and a ton of other tastemakers all stepped up to do the damage behind the decks. Vista Club proved to be the perfect home for the London-based party, acting as a honeypot for those who like their techno and house beats to be accompanied with a side of sunrise. Here, we speak to Solid Grooves linchpin, Dennis Cruz, to find out what tunes kept the Groovers grooving this season. Get ready to take a trip down musical memory lane.
Dennis Cruz / 'El Agua (Original Mix)'
"This has to be one of my favourite productions. This track is perfect for summer and it went off every time I dropped it. This for me is Ibiza all over, a proper groover track."
Quenun / 'Solitaire (Original Mix)'
"This is a tribal track with huge synths that always gets people moving. One of my favourites to play out in Ibiza."
Ninetones / 'Nose (Original Mix)'
"This track has an amazing drop and the synth just gets higher and higher. So many vibes on this one."
Dennis Cruz / 'Rolling Stone (Original Mix)'
"A 100% Groover track, I played this one a lot at Solid Grooves over the season and it got great reception."
Mendo & Yvan Genkins / 'What A Jacket (Original Mix)'
"This has killer rhythm, it's an absolute banger that proved very popular in Ibiza this year!"
Kamera / 'Consignia (Truncate Remix)'
"This is a straight up techno track with old school vibes and I absolutely love playing it!"
Autotune / 'She (My Wife Mix)'
"Really uplifting and high-tech soul groover, it has great vocals too."
Drastic Duo / 'Off (Original Mix)'
"This one got a great reception with the crowds over the summer, it's out on my label Lemon-Aid, a proper tech-house track."
Dennis Cruz / 'Bad Behaviour (Original Mix)'
"Marijuana is the flame, heroin is the fuse, LSD is the bomb..."
Letters / 'Lower Case (NTFO Remix)'
"This is one of my favourites to close with, which I did quite a lot over the summer. The dance floor loved it, and I love it too!"
