Edele Andaya shares 5 tracks for Summer 2026, from hard trance classics to Ibiza-ready selections

For Summer 2026, Edele Andaya shares 5 tracks that connect directly to the sound she has carried through more than two decades in dance music. The London-based DJ has become a familiar name within the UK trance community, with sets rooted in hard trance, techno, trance classics and tougher club records that still hold up in present-day sets. Her background spans vinyl and digital mixing, Peach London residency duties, appearances at Ministry of Sound, fabric London and KOKO, plus festival slots at Luminosity Beach in the Netherlands and Euphoria Weekender in Malta. After selling out her first standalone Edele All-Dayer event in only a few hours with no supporting line-up, her summer selections offer a closer look at the records that continue to guide her taste behind the decks. From Tony De Vit’s The Dawn to Quench’s Dreams, the list brings together hard trance pressure, underground classics and melody-led selections with a personal reason behind each pick.

Tony De Vit, The Dawn

Tony De Vit’s The Dawn opens the list with a track Edele Andaya calls one of her personal favourites. Her reason is direct: it still carries emotion, drive and that harder edge that made it last beyond its original era. For a London DJ closely connected to the UK trance circuit, it is a fitting first choice because it points back to the records that helped shape hard trance as a lasting club sound. In the context of her Summer 2026 selections, The Dawn is not included as a throwback for the sake of nostalgia. It is the kind of track that still makes sense in a modern set when the room is ready for something tougher and more emotional.

Mauro Picotto, Bryan Kearney and Riccardo Ferri, Taotek

With Taotek, Edele Andaya brings in a heavier trance cut from Mauro Picotto, Bryan Kearney and Riccardo Ferri. She describes it as an “absolute belter,” and the pick fits the harder side of her sets, where trance structure meets a more forceful club sound. The track also connects well to the artist profile around her, since Edele Andaya is known for sets that pull from techno, trance and hard trance without making the selections feel disconnected. For Summer 2026, especially with Ibiza ahead, Taotek gives the list one of its strongest club-focused entries.

Committee, Welcome, I Said Shut Up

Committee’s Welcome, I Said Shut Up brings the article into more underground territory. Edele Andaya calls it a pure underground classic, which says a lot about the way she approaches her selections. This is not a list built only around obvious festival records or recent releases. It also includes the kind of older club tracks that still matter to DJs who have spent years reading rooms, digging through records and understanding where a track should land in a set. For readers discovering Edele Andaya through this feature, this choice helps show the deeper club influence behind her Summer 2026 picks.

Joe Bloggs, Agent Love

Joe Bloggs’ Agent Love adds another classic reference point, with Edele Andaya noting that it is a remix of Age of Love. That detail matters because Age of Love has long been tied to trance history, and this version keeps that connection in a form that works for harder, faster set moments. Her comment focuses on how much she loves the track, but the wider value of the pick is in how it links melody, pace and club function. In a summer list that already includes hard trance, underground records and classic trance, Agent Love sits naturally as one of the selections that bridges old-school influence with her current DJ direction.

Quench, Dreams

Quench’s Dreams closes the list with one of the most recognisable trance records included in Edele Andaya’s Summer 2026 selections. Its strength comes from patience: the track builds around a simple hypnotic motif before revealing the full melody, which gives the payoff more weight when it finally opens up. That kind of structure fits well beside the harder records on her list because it still works in a club setting without rushing the emotional part of the track. For Edele Andaya, Dreams brings the melodic side of trance into focus while keeping the list connected to the classic records that continue to influence her sets.
