Tom Trago's Guilty Pleasures

The Dutch multi-hyphenate shares his pop indulgences.

Tom Trago's Guilty Pleasures

You never quite know what to expect when you're on a dance floor piloted by Tom Trago, but therein lies the magic. As a fervent digger and lover of all styles and vibes across the electronic and dance spectrum, he's the perfect DJ to quiz on his guilty pleasures. That's perhaps not the best term to use given its negative connotation, as almost everyone has at least one cheesy pop song they harbour a secret love for. But fuck it, that's what we're going with - guilty pleasures! Over to you, Mr Trago.

Angie Stone - Wish I Didn't Miss You

This one is still hitting on me, because I've also had so many goodbyes. The original is a banger too, but I really liked how they chopped the beat on this.

The Weeknd - Starboy ft. Daft Punk

Pure class and arrogance in the way that I love it. Dark, futuristic and well produced. The Weeknd also really drops some smoothness on those vocals. Thomas Banghalter & Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo are top class producers.

Justin Timberlake - Cry Me A River

This beat just works so well with the vocal chops and I like that Timberlake sings so staccato. I have also always been a big Timbaland fan. The combination of samples and synths on this are magic!
