MistaJam’s Speakerbox has a new weekly party at Gatecrasher Ibiza until September 18th.
Secondcity –More
Secondcity’s follow up to his number 1 smash ‘I Wanna Feel’ is an underground roller of an EP on Defected’s DFTD label. More is the track that will get you shuffling in the sand this summer.
Pharrell ft Jay-Z – Frontin (Disclosure Re-Work)
The Lawrence brothers work their magic on the mid 00’s R&B banger and turn it into a sexy, downtempo house number. Best listened to with a cocktail in hand and shades on.
Jessie Ware – Tough Love
This first taster from Jessie’s forthcoming second album, which is due out by the end of the summer, sees her in fine soulful form.
Caribou – Can’t Do Without You
Records don’t come much more ethereally beautiful than this one. One to chill to while watching a typically beautiful Ibizan sunset.
Apexape & Chris Lorenzo – All Your Problems
Big, club-friendly banger from London/Bristol duo Apexape linking up with Birmingham Bass god Chris Lorenzo. One for the big club sound systems.
(Track unavailable)
North Base & Jenna G – Beats So Loud
Drum & Bass is healthier than ever in 2014 and this one from Manchester’s North Base and Jenna G is the perfect blend of sweet soul and dirty bass.
Decius – Gay Futures
Eats Everything put me up on this one – feels like an undiscovered Acid House classic that would be on your older cousin’s tapes. One to get the glow sticks out to!
Oliver Heldens x Becky Hill – Gecko (Overdrive)
Will be to 2014 as Storm Queen’s Look Right Through was to 2013. Say no more!
Sinead Harnett ft Snakehips – No Other Way
The future sound of R&B from North London’s finest chanteuse first introduced to our ears by collaborations with Rudimental and Disclosure.
Wide Awake – Hakkatron
Hard to categorise in terms of genre so I’ll just describe it: skittering drums, big 808 hits and that glorious synth brass guaranteed to make that booty shake!
Having already hosted stages at some of the UK’s top festivals such as Creamfields (catch the Speakerbox stage there this year), Boardmasters, EDC and the Isle of Wight Festival, Speakerbox will be bringing some of the biggest UK names and hottest new talent to Ibiza, including Tinie Tempah, Example, Rudimental, Katy B, Shy FX and many more. You can also catch Speakerbox at this year’s SW4.
