Ahead of his appearance for London Warehouse Events at Village Underground on January 30, Citizen picks records for the pre-drinks, peak-time and after-party. 

Citizen has packed a hell of a lot into his discography since debuting in 2011, including records on MadTech, Templar Sound, Five Easy Peaces and Love Fever. On January 30, he’ll be sharing a bill with house heavy-hitters Ejeca and Sisterhood. For more tickets and information, head here; turn the page to check Citizen’s selections.

Pre-drinks:
Detroit In Effect – ‘R U Married’

I was coming back from Ibiza after a particularly lengthy session with the crew at various spots on the way to Lovebox festival, absolutely wiped out (I mean, if I never heard a 909 clap again it would have been to soon…) when Love Fever homie and all round selecta Kasra V stuck this absolute monster of a tune on. Ever since then I think it’s been on at every house party or social event that I’m at. I think it’s become my unofficial theme tune actually. Ahem.

Youtube user Non Plus X put together a real nice unofficial clip for the joint also.

Peak-time: 
Levon Vincent – ‘Double Jointed Sex Freak Pt. 1’

I remember first hearing this a few years back at Panorama Bar and absolutely lost my shit. I mean it sounded like the world was going to implode in on itself swallowing this intricate grey to black spectrum of sound. Masterful production and arrangement. Killer track title too. Just keeps on going.

After-party
Eternal – ‘Stay’ (Teddy Riley Remix)

Now, I’ve always been a New Jack swing fan – the boom bap offset by lush pads and much bravado. This short-lived genre harboured some absolute belters and seems to just age like wine. This one in particular was doctored by the (in my opinion) godfather of New Jack Swing: Teddy Riley. I’ve closed a fair few house parties with this joint – +/- 4 seems to do the trick.

The arrangement on this one just takes the piss, elongating the longing and strength of the vocals whilst allowing room to explore the instrumental. I don’t even mind the horrific rap towards the end. Absolute Jam.
