Mood Child as a label celebrates rhythm, unity, and pure, unfiltered dancefloor euphoria.
She has compiled an exclusive playlist for us which brings together some of the most infectious cuts from the Mood Child back catalogue. All of these tracks pulse with groove, bounce with bass and never fail to move a crowd.
Watch Them Come Roy Davis Jr. featuring Peven Everett
Also be sure to check out Manda's new remix of Roy Davis Jr's Men From The Nile classic, Watch Them Come - a sun-drenched, feel-good rework. It's the perfect blend of nostalgia and forward-thinking house, and a testament to Manda's evolving artistry.
Pakit Ban - Marian, Freenzy
This track is definitely a Mood Child anthem made by 2 very talented Brazilian artists, who are some of the most prolific producers on the label. It's funky, has driving percussions, the famous 'Pakit Ban vocal' on repeat and an addictive synth. I remember playing it for the first time in Ibiza at the Paradise opening after party in 2023, then it became the tune of summer 2024 and is still very much played by the greatest names of the scene such as Carl Cox, Jamie Jones, Marco Carola, Joseph Capriati and Luciano to name a few.
Just A Feeling - Nick Curly
I have always been a fan of Nick Curly and to have his music on Mood Child feels surreal. This track is a groovy gem that has a unique and powerful build-up, with his signature rhythms imprinted in it. I'm very fond of this one and I love to play it.

Believe - Reboot, Sirus Hood
Absolutely obsessed with the groove on this tune made by German maestro Reboot and Mood Child co-founder Sirus Hood. To me it represents optimum class and quality, I'm in love with the bassline that feels like purrs of a cat.

El Peligro (Ibiza Mix) - Manda Moor, Trangaz
This one is special to me because it's my first release on the label. I made it in Ibiza during Covid times, in collaboration with my good friend Trangaz. It's bumping, and I really like the blend of the melodic elements like the piano with the raw analog sounds of the low ends.

Lower Level - DJ Sneak
Mood Child has been blessed with the mastery of the Chicago House legend DJ Sneak. It's a true honor to have him on the label, he is one of the true pioneers of electronic music. This track is released on 'Gangsta Moods', it showcases Sneak's signature gangster side that I love.

Ritmo Bonito - Yaya
Loving this minimal funky tune by Yaya from Italy, the chords and the fast groove are addictive. This track has been released on 'Fonky Moods', it's the perfect mood for it.

Boothy (Manda Moor Spicy Remix) - Sirus Hood, Trangaz
This is a remix I made for Sirus Hood & Trangaz's track called 'Boothy'. It's such a fun track to me, the vocal by Trangaz is playful and talks about the shenanigans in a DJ booth.
Wabi Sabi - Manda Moor, Malikk
This is a collaboration I did with my good friend Malikk from France who is one of Mood Child OGs. It's a hot banger with spicy percussions, I love playing it in my sets.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyHwTR4KHLs
Bubble And Vibe - Malikk
Speaking of Malikk, this is my favorite track from him, it's part of his album released on the label. I play it at almost every set, the groove and the drum patterns are out of this world.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7V1rle_cbA
Gostosa (Ft Bella) - Rayzir
Been playing this one from Rayzir a lot, it's hot and captivating. I knew I wanted to sign it when I played it it Ibiza at an after party and everyone went nuts. The drums are also perfect to loop and to add on another track that is missing some.

You could win a one-night stay in this world-famous Paris art gallery
There are some pretty plush places to stay if you're visiting Paris, but do any of them beat the chance to actually sleep in one of the city's finest contemporary galleries? Arguably not. And no, we're not just thinking hypothetically – thanks to a collaboration between Staycation, a hotel booking platform, and the Palais de Tokyo, one of the French capital's most wonderfully bizarre modern art galleries, you could win the opportunity to spend the night in the museum. Yes, you read that right. An apartment, which is usually reserved for artists in residence, will be transformed into a hotel room for just one night. But that's not all – the two lucky winners will also be given a guided tour through the gallery's two current exhibitions: Vivian Suter's 'Disco' and 'Ocotogone' by Chalisée Naamani. At midnight, it's off to the artists' apartment. Expect cool, concrete decor and a bottle of Palais de Tokyo's own special cuvée to be waiting for you. You'll sleep on an appropriately grand four poster, and have a breakfast of fresh pastries served to you in bed the next morning. So, when is this magical night set to take place? That would be on Thursday, August 28. To be in with a chance of winning, keep an eye on the Staycation and Palais de Tokyo Instagram accounts from Monday 18 August, when the competition goes live. In the meantime, these are the best museums in Paris.

Topshop official website to relaunch TODAY as brand plots high street return
The brand has made multiple hints about making a return to the high street SHOP TO IT Topshop official website to relaunch TODAY as brand plots high street return Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TOPSHOP'S official website has relaunched today as the brand plots its return to the high street. Fans of the iconic British brand can now shop on Topshop's new standalone website. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The brand has launched a collection with Cara Delevingne 2 Topshop has launched it's first standalone website Credit: Getty It is the first time in four years that shoppers can do so, with the brand's original online shop axed following its sale to Asos. To celebrate its return, the brand has curated a 40 piece collection with model Cara Delevingne, including a borg trench coat for £110. Customers can also shop iconic pieces, such as Topshop's Jaime Jeans. The ultra skinny jeans were a staple for many millennials back in the day. Last September, Asos sold a 75% stake to the brand to Bestseller, a Danish retail group that owns Jack & Jones. Since then, the Joni Jeans maker has made multiple hints about making a return to the high streets. In April this year, Topshop launched a pop-up at Defected Records, much to the delight of shoppers. This month, the brand will also begin selling its clothes in McElhinney's a department store in Ballybofey, County Donegal, Ireland. It will be the first time its clothes will be sold in a physical store since it moved into the online retail space. It comes after Michelle Wilson, MD at Topshop and Topman, previously told Drapers that the brand had something up its sleeve for August. Topshop teases high street return 'We have something planned in August to bring Topshop back into real life again, with a more semi-permanent presence than the one-day pop-up,' she said. But Wilson added that they aren't trying to "recreate" the Topshop that millions knew and loved. She explained that the clothing store will be given a 2025 makeover to allow it to compete with the current climate. As part of the relaunch, Topshop will be at Trafalgar Square in London tomorrow, August 16. It will host its first runway show since 2018 and preview its autumn and winter 2025 collections. WHAT HAPPENED TO TOPSHOP? The rise of e-commerce and the shift in consumer behavior towards online shopping caught the brand off guard. While competitors like Zara and H&M quickly adapted to the digital landscape, Topshop struggled to keep pace. Additionally, the brand faced criticism for its fast fashion model, which became increasingly scrutinised for its environmental impact and labour practices. The rise of more ethical and sustainable fashion brands further eroded Topshop's market share. Financial troubles began to surface within the Arcadia Group, exacerbated by Sir Philip Green's controversial business practices and personal scandals. In 2019, Arcadia Group entered a company voluntary arrangement (CVA) to restructure its debts, leading to the closure of several Topshop stores.
