Mixmag | In Session: jamesjamesjames
Beverly Hills-born jamesjamesjames stepped up for this edition of Mixmag’s In Session mix series and crammed it full of four-to-the-floor anthems, cute techno flips and plenty of their own edits. Speaking about the hour-long mix, the artist told Mixmag that it’s “basically a playlist of what I’ve been listening to this month. A glimpse into my 5 remaining brain cells”.
Crack Magazine | Crack Mix 449: Prospa
“This is us flowing at our best. We wanted to deliver something super high-energy and with good contrast between the darker sounds and brighter endings,” Prospa explained about their mix for Crack Magazine. Packed with weighty dancefloor cuts, the Leeds-born duo’s mix comes in at one hour and 45 minutes and features a blend of breaks, 90s house and rave. We recently teamed up with Prospa at IMS Ibiza for an exclusive track breakdown of their epic song, ‘Ecstasy’. Keep an eye out for that coming soon to our YouTube channel.
