Top DJ Serge Devant reveals stunning new track – a decade after releasing global club anthem
SERGE Devant can count many of the best DJs in the world as fans. Tastemakers such as Jamie Jones, Lee Foss, Damian Lazarus and Seth Troxler who joins Nick Morgan on the remix of Serge's new track, 'Solace'.

Directed by Tobias Deml (Luc Besson's The Fifth Element, The Professional), the accompanying music video explores memory, distance, and the quiet power of reconnection, bringing emotional depth to the dancefloor in a way few artists attempt. You can watch it at the end of the playlist. To accompany the release, Russian born, NYC resident, Serge talks us through a playlist of personal classics. Records that inspired his earliest clubbing days in New York, influenced the energy of his DJ sets, and helped shape the minimalist, emotive sound he's now become famous for. 3 The singer is known for his emotive tracks Credit: Supplied 3 The new tracks are out now - August 7 Credit: Supplied These selections tell their own story, mapping the arc from underground beginnings to cinematic storytelling and label-building.

'Whether it was a turning point in my taste, a track that shaped the energy of my sets, or something that simply stuck with me over the years. From early discoveries that pulled me into DJing to deeper cuts that shifted my direction, these tracks all left a mark in different ways. Looking back, they reflect many experiences, places, and dancefloors that helped shape my taste.' 'Solace' is out August 7th via This Moment, with a remix from Seth Troxler & Nick Morgan. Orinoko – Mama Konda (Timo Maas "Low Budget" Remix) One of the very first records I bought. I remember hearing it destroy dancefloors at Twilo, Tunnel, and Sound Factory in New York as I started partying, and I realized I wanted to be on the other side of the booth. It had this raw, hypnotic energy that pulled me in completely. Nearly 30 years later, it still hits just as hard as the first time I heard it. Advertisement Danny Tenaglia – Elements I first heard Danny play this at club Tunnel in NYC while he was testing it before its release. I spent months hunting it down until I finally found it in a local record shop. The way it unfolds breaking down and showcasing each element I thought was genius. It deepened my love for this music and solidified my decision to keep going down this path. Chiapet – Westworld (Skylark Remix) This remix hit at the perfect time, with this amazing baseline and right groove for those long, late-night sets. I remember playing it during some of my earliest gigs, and it always shifted the energy in the room. This track was a blueprint for the kind of sound I was gravitating toward. Advertisement A-Studio ft. Polina - S.O.S. (Skylark Vocal Remix) When this came out in 2004, it felt like a secret weapon. The vocal had just the right amount of emotion and Skylark's remix gave it this rolling, hypnotic drive that locked people in. I remember playing it in packed basements and sunrise sets, it always created a moment and turned the room upside down when it dropped. It wasn't the loudest or the flashiest track, but it had a pulse you could ride for minutes. For me, it was a masterclass in restraint and groove, in combination with a sexy, uplifting vocal. Yello - Oh Yeah 'Oh Six (Booka Shade Remix) Everyone knew the original from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, that quirky, unmistakable vocal. But when Booka Shade remixed it in 2006, they turned it into something completely different. It was stripped-back, groovy, and surprisingly playable. I loved how it brought a bit of humour and nostalgia to the floor while still keeping that cool, minimal edge. It always caught people by surprise, and that's what made it so fun to drop. Advertisement Seuil - Ultravision (feat. Jaw) I first heard this record at Robot Heart during my first Burning Man in 2011. The setting it was played in, combined with the vibe of the track, left me emotional and curious for more. That year changed a lot for me both in my taste in music and the direction I wanted to take as a DJ. Serge Devant, Damiano feat. Camille Safiya - Fearing Love This track marked a real turning point for me. It was one of the first records where I fully brought my vision to life emotionally, musically, and visually. Working with Camille Safiya on the vocal gave it a raw, haunting feel that I hadn't tapped into before. It wasn't just about making a club record; it was about telling a story. I spent months crafting the sound, and later shot a full music video for it, which ended up winning a film festival. "Fearing Love" reminded me that dance music could go deeper that it could move people beyond the dancefloor. Advertisement Barac – Who Says Imagination Isn't Reality This one felt like a reminder of why I love this music, deep, trippy, and full of subtle emotion. Barac has a way of creating space in his tracks, and this one in particular always pulled me in. I found myself playing it during long, late sets when the crowd was fully locked in. It's the kind of record that doesn't scream for attention but says everything it needs to if you're really listening. Dan Ghenacia - Rouge ou Noir This one instantly stood out to me. The groove had that signature French funk, loopy, raw, and full of character. I remember playing it late one night and watching the whole room lock into it. Just one of those records that reminds you how much can be said with so little. Advertisement Serge Devant, Camille Safiya – Solace This was the first release on my label, "This Moment," so it carries a lot of weight for me. It's a stripped-back track with a heavy groove and Camille's vocal cutting right through the space. Everything sits exactly where it needs to nothing extra, just a tight, focused sound. It set the tone for the label and the kind of records I want to stand behind. I have been testing it for a few years and it hasn't failed once, so I'm really excited about this release.

Gracie Abrams snogs and parties with boyfriend Paul Mescal until 3am after finishing Glastonbury set
GRACIE ABRAMS finished her set on The Other Stage then headed straight for her significant other – as she snogged and partied with boyfriend Paul Mescal until 3am. Gracie and Paul were joined by his singer sister Nell, as well as his Normal People co-star Daisy Edgar-Jones and her photographer boyfriend Ben Seed, at The Glade stage to take in a set by US DJ Seth Troxler. 4 4 4 An onlooker on Friday night said: ' Paul and Gracie were all over each other and couldn't resist a cheeky snog while their pals used the loos. 'Gracie was still full of energy despite playing on The Other Stage just hours before. 'The group were clearly still on a high from her magical performance as the sun set over Worthy Farm.' Paul earned boyfriend points as he got in among the crowd to watch Gracie's set – alongside his fellow Irish actor Andrew Scott, Daisy and Nell. At one point, Daisy was up on Ben's shoulders showing her appreciation for the music. A source said: 'Paul is so proud of Gracie and loved being with their friends as she saw her dream of performing at Glasto come true.' Gracie sang hits including That's So True, Close To You and I Love You, I'm Sorry. But although Paul is now a Hollywood actor and his girlfriend a chart-topping artist, he was overheard telling pals he is a normal person and was camping in just a regular tent like the rest of us. Glad to hear that, Paul. Paul Mescal makes the most of the heatwave with girlfriend Gracie Abrams as they enjoy a picnic at a London park 4
