Selects: Richard Russell
Playlist - 33 Songs
Selects is where the world’s best DJs and producers showcase their favorite tracks of any given moment, new and old, with no format restrictions. In this edition, Richard Russell curates a three-part playlist with a clear sense of purpose. You can rely on the godfather of XL Recordings (home to Peggy Gou, M.I.A., and Fontaines D.C.) to bring the finest tracks—and he doesn’t disappoint. “This playlist contains 33 songs in three parts,” Russell tells Apple Music. “The first part is made to listen to, lying down on the floor, where you can’t fall off. Healing music. Breathe. The next part is about bass. Also healing, but good for moving about to. Keep breathing. Move waist. The third part is also about bass, bit faster now, these are some UK club bangers from 1990 to 2025, with 118 to 140 BPM. Jump about! Thank you for listening.” Once you’re on your feet, Russell closes the mix with “Never Felt Better,” a track from his own project Everything Is Recorded, featuring Sampha and Florence + the Machine.
