In advance of Gunnar Haslam making his regional debut at Analog Room this Thursday, Dubai Night asked the L.I.E.S. artist about 5 tracks that has shaped him over the years…
A song that reminds me of my childhood…
Depeche Mode - “Get The Balance Right”
Nothing defines the sound of my younger years as much as Depeche Mode.
A song that made me want to hit the turntables…
Ø – “Kolmas”
Possibly no track in existence that stirs the crowd up like this Mika Vainio techno classic.
A song that changed my career…
Gunnar Haslam – “Cat Superhighway” (Version)
Obvious one as it’s the first track I ever recorded and the one that led to my first release on L.I.E.S.
A song I wish I’d written…
Stevie Wonder - “Happy Birthday”
I don’t really envy tracks made by heroes of mine but I wouldn’t mind the royalty checks coming in for “Happy Birthday”.
A song that makes me cry…
Éliane Radigue – “Adnos II”
I guess I don’t know if this makes me physically cry but it certainly brings me to a deeply emotional state.
Gunnar Haslam plays at Analog Room, Stereo Arcade (Double Tree by Hilton, JBR) this Thursday (16th).
Price - AED100 Time 10pm.
