Talal’s Hot Picks selection reflects an artist deeply tuned into balance. Across these ten tracks, he highlights music that moves with patience and purpose, blending emotional resonance with functional club energy, mirroring his own productions.
As a producer trusted by leading DJs worldwide, Talal has built a catalogue across labels such as Renaissance, Spectrum and Blaufield, with releases charting globally and lasting in DJ sets. His upcoming solo EP ‘Delta’ on White Rose Records continues that trajectory, leaning into lush chords, detailed melodies and grooves designed to carry dancers through extended moments rather than quick peaks.

That same mindset runs through this playlist. Each selection values musicality, restraint and atmosphere, favouring records that unfold gradually and reward attention. From polished remixes to reflective originals, Talal’s choices offer a clear insight into the sounds currently shaping his creative world, rooted in melodic house and techno but always driven by feeling first.
Booka Shade – Broken Glass (Helsloot Remix) (Blaufield)
“The Helsloot remix on Booka Shade’s new album is great. It feels seamless, almost like an original track, which is very impressive.”
Nihil Young – Paramount (Nomade)
“Nihil Young is doing phenomenal work. This is one of his strongest tracks across his catalogue.”
Oliver Koletzki & HVOB – Bones (GHEIST 20 Yrs SVT Remix) (Stil Vor Talent)
“The Stil Vor Talent catalogue is excellent, and this remix brings together three great artists effortlessly.”
Th;en – Run (NOW)
“Th;en is doing great work. This track on his NOW label is one of my favourites from the imprint.”
Gai Barone & Aaron Suiss – Faces (Echoes Of Time)
“Aaron and Gai are always delivering. This has been one of my favourite tracks in recent times.”
A Friend Called Marcus – Chypre (Just This)

Pierce & Felax – La Opera (PitchBend Music)

Jan Blomqvist – Disappear Again (Chukku Remix) (Disconnected)
“A really nice reinterpretation from Chukku. I’ve been listening to this consistently over the last month.”
Talal’s Hot Picks selection feels considered and intentional, much like his own productions. Each track reflects a respect for melody, groove, and long-form progression, favouring records that stay with you rather than chase immediate impact.
As he prepares to release ‘Delta’ on White Rose Records, this playlist offers a clear snapshot of the sounds influencing his current output. Thoughtful, emotional and club-ready without compromise, it reinforces Talal’s position within the melodic house and techno landscape as an artist who values depth, longevity and genuine connection on the dancefloor.
