What’s in the DJ’s box? Serge Santiago

Posted: 17 Apr 2009 02:37 PM PDT

If a pop star needs an italo disco remix, they call Britain's Serge Santiago. His Radio Slave partnership with Matt Edwards (which ended in 2002) resulted in reworks of Kylie Minogue, Fischerspooner and Tiga, and whilst Matt Edwards has gone on to become successful in the underground techno circles, Santiago has stuck firmly to his colourful edits and remixes, which includes Goldfrapp's 'Ride A White Horse' and Hercules And Love Affair's 'Blind'. In 2007, Santiago launched his own label Arcobaleno Records with the label's biggest hit, the groundbreaking disco-flavoured tech house cut 'Atto D'Amore', coming from Serge himself. This summer Serge Santiago will be continuing his We Love residency at Space in Ibiza, but before that he has a special rooftop party on May 15th planned with Greg Wilson and Guy Williams at a famous London landmark. Mr. Santiago granted us access to his record box which runs very, very deep, and in it we found obscure disco cuts and long-forgotten classics.
