The Maroma Playlist
Words by Belmond Editors
André VII’s deep house-meet-dark-electro might, at first, sound like a world dominated solely by underground sounds. But dig a little and you’ll find that the DJ’s inspirations are plural, from radiant pop music to relaxing tunes – something evidenced in his Maroma playlist.
1. Siesta Freestyle feat. Alicia Te Quiero – Lewis OfMan
“This song is from one of the new promises of French music, an artist that I’ve had the opportunity to personally meet and see his performance live. I think it’s a perfect bridge between the affinity that we Latinos feel for music made in France and vice versa.”
2. Justice, Tame Impala, Keinemusik – Neverender (Rampa Remix)
“My favorite electronic music duo, remixed by the famous Keinemusik leaders of the afro house scene.”
3. Sofia Kourtesis feat. Manu Chao – Estación Esperanza
“This collaboration was born from the signature phrase ‘¿Qué horas son, mi corazón?’ by Manu Chao. Sofia samples and performs this song with tropical Latin sounds.”
4. Roderic feat. Jacqueline Jones – Passengers
“This Mexican downtempo takes you to a peaceful mood and a relaxing atmosphere.”
5. Cee ElAssaad & Thandi Draai – LoMhlaba
“Cee was born in Morocco and his style fuses exotic melodies with hypnotic vocals. This track is perfect for enjoying a sunset with your favorite people.”
6. Aaron Child – Tangerine (Channel Tres Remix)
“One of my most recent discoveries. Such a pleasure to share in this exclusive Maroma playlist for Belmond.”
7. Mijangos – Fiesta
“Mexican Producer and DJ born in Tijuana, and the greatest exponent of national Afro house, “Fiesta” is a bomb for any dancefloor anywhere in the world.”
8. Salon Acapulco feat. Caloncho – Pomposa
“‘Ah, qué cosa linda y pomposa...’”
9. Sussie 4 feat. Eugenia Leon – Sabor a Mi
“A classic of the national Boleros, written by Oaxacan songwriter Álvaro Carrillo. The song’s performed by Eugenio León and Sussie 4 in an electronic version.”
10. Matias Aguayo – Minimal (Dj Koze Remix)
“An anthem of Latin electronic music, an emblematic song by Chilean producer Matias Aguayo.”
11. &Me – Paris (Chloé Caillet Remix)
“A secret weapon that never fails...”
12. Titán – Corazón
“This song is part of the legendary soundtrack of the movie Amores Perros, and is also part of the soundtrack of our lives.”
13. Peggy Gou – I go (Dj Koze Remix)
“That’s my favorite Peggy track.”
