June is finally here and even if it's not the sunsoaked arrival we'd all hoped for, the excitement levels about our party at the Ibiza Rocks hotel on the 12th are pretty, pretty high. As you may know by now, we're zooming over to the balearics for a night of bacchanalian mayhem as part of W.A.R!'s summer long series of smashers. Joining us are the certified king of UGK, DJ EZ, grimey house don Preditah, tropical selector C4, and Cause & Effect man Chris Lorenzo.

Given that we've already spoken to EZ and Preditah, we thought we'd get in touch with Lorenzo and ask him to run us through his essential end of the night picks. As any DJ knows, your last tune's arguably your most important: pick a dud and you send the crowd home deflated and disgruntled, draw for that perfect cut and everyone ambles home with a fuck off grin on their faces. Lorenzo's gone for a diverse selection that takes in disco, reggae, D&B and good old fashioned banging house.Shalamar - "A Night to Remember""You can't beat the old disco vibes, and this one always ensures the night ends on a high."Compuphonic - "Sequoia""This reminds me of being in Ibiza a few years back and it's perfect for sunset or to wind people down after a heavy night of raving."D. Kay & Epsilon ft Stamina MC - "Barcelona""A pure classic that never fails to please the crowd no matter what time you drop it."La Roux - "In For the Kill (Skream's Lets Get Ravey remix)""An absolute belter — complex simplicity at it's finest. Definitely one to get the crowd singing along, too."Chris Lake & Chris Lorenzo - "Wicked Game""Not really a classic per se, but me and a good pal pieced this rebuild together of the classic Chris Isaak tune last summer. I finished many of my sets with this and I was always overwhelmed by the response!"Crazy P - "Heartbreaker""My home time anthem — there's so much emotion in to this piece of music."

Love Birds ft. Stee Downes - "Want You in my Soul""This is probably one of the best house tracks ever made in my opinion. The reaction you get to this is beyond immense."Bob Marley - "Is This Love?""Another favourite of mine, and I'm always sending people home on a high with this. I finished with it at Sankeys last year and the vibe was surreal."Booka Shade - "In White Rooms'"Just timeless. It never fails to lift the room come dawn or dusk."Rusko - "Everyday (Netsky remix)""If you're looking to finish with energy then this is your bet. It's a future classic in it's own right."Chris Lorenzo plays the THUMP party for W.A.R! at the Ibiza Rocks hotel on June 12. Head here for more information.
