Listening Post: Kant picks his favourite DJ tracks

Danish DJ and producer KANT has spent time in Ireland recently as part of Jagermeister’s Eishaus series. The Copenhagen man has gained fervent followers through his house and electronic jams. Below, he takes us through his record bag.

You played at Metropolis, Limerick, Dublin and Galwayon the Eishaus series? How did your Irish experience go? What can someone expect for your return?
Over the last two, years I’ve developed a strong friendship with the Irish audience and have played here more often than anywhere else. Always excited to come back! I actually never plan my sets, so you’ll have to come and hear yourself. But you can always be sure that I’ll road test some new & unreleased tracks of mine.

What’s your favourite track of your own right now?
Mostly it’s something unreleased or tracks I’m working on currently but I really enjoyed making the latest remix for Elderbrook x Andhim – How Many Times

Prince – I Wanna Be Your Lover

Your first vinyl purchase and what do you remember about it?
