On Charlotte Adigéry and Bolis Pupul's debut album, Topical Dancer, the Ghent, Belgium-based duo draw on their multicultural backgrounds to take sly potshots at racism, sexism and self-doubt. Over a rubbery techno-funk beat on “Blenda”, Adigéry sings lines such as “Go back to your country where you belong/Siri, can you tell me where I belong?” It’s a danceable, pointedly political record whose DNA, like its makers, connects points all around the world. For their Selects playlist—in which DJs and producers highlight influential tunes and recent favourites—Adigéry and Pupul included a few tracks that impacted the LP, along with “music that accompanied us during lockdowns, and songs that gave us hope, energy, and everything we needed to uplift our spirits,” Adigéry tells Apple Music. Here she and Pupul discuss a couple of their selections. Armando, “Don’t Take It” (feat. Sharvette) Charlotte Adigéry: "We discovered this thanks to David and Stephen Dewaele from Soulwax when we were working on our track 'Thank You'. We wanted to try our take on acid house. There’s a certain way to treat the Roland 303 synthesiser, and David put on this song to explain how to play with it. We immediately understood and looked for a treatment that worked well for us but in the spirit of how Armando did it." Geoffrey Burton, “Kuhlmannlaan 8” Bolis Pupul: "I love this track by Geoffrey Burton, who is one of my all-time favourite guitar players. The way he uses his guitar to make sound is very inspiring and unique. This song is part of an album he recorded in one take without any overdubs, by only using his fingers and his feet (hence the name of the album, Me Ta Podia, which translates to ‘by foot')."
