Alex Culross & Ejeca Share the House Tracks Moving Them Right Now

Cameron Holbrook
Dundee’s Alex Culross and Belfast mainstay Ejeca arrive at “Rhythm Of The House” from different points in their careers, but with the same nose for a club record that wastes no time. Culross has spent recent years stacking up Beatport hits and support from Skream, Jamie Jones and Michael Bibi, while Ejeca's catalogue has moved between house and techno with releases on AUS, Poker Flat and Last Night On Earth.
Their connection began when Ejeca heard Josh Baker play Culross’ “Circomania” at Space Miami and asked who made it. A message followed, then a run of exchanged tracks and works in progress. When an early version of “Rhythm Of The House” landed in Culross’ inbox, he rebuilt it within days. Mau P played the finished track at CircoLoco that same night. Now released on Baker’s You&Me Records, road-tested from Coachella to DC10, highly sought-after and screaming up the Beatport charts, the pair celebrate its rise by each selecting three house records currently doing the business for them. Check them out below.
Alex Culross: This is one of those records that has stood the test of time. The groove is effortless, the melody is instantly recognisable, and it always seems to find its way into sets without ever feeling dated. It is a proper house classic that works just as well today as it did when it first came out.
Alex Culross: This has become a modern house anthem for a reason. It is simple, relentless and built entirely around making people move, which is something I always try to capture in my own productions. It proves you do not need to overcomplicate things when the groove is right.
Alex Culross: This track has always been a favourite of mine, but it is definitely having another moment after that viral clip of Joseph Capriati and Josh Baker playing it together at Amnesia. It has made its way straight back into my playlists. The combination of the soulful vocal and timeless groove reminds you exactly why it became such a classic.
Ejeca: A stone-cold ’90s garage house classic that I keep coming back to. That bassline drop still destroys any dance floor nearly 30 years later.
Ejeca: Simply one of the most addictive basslines of all time. It is a masterclass in doing more with less, letting the groove roll and pull you in deeper.
Ejeca: One from me that always works at festivals. Salif Keïta’s vocal is so powerful, so I built the remix around a big percussive breakdown that lets the drums and the voice carry the moment together.
