Aisha Mirza
Keep Hush Live London: Shivum Sharma Presents
Aisha Mirza's set for Shivum Sharma's London party is the definition of 'eclectic'—a term we use when we can't believe a DJ got from Nina Simone to a Hatsune Miku track without clearing the floor. This is not jazz; it's a joyous, chaotic collage of global sounds and pop edits, played for the sheer fun of it. Vibe: A buzzy, intimate room where everyone is smiling, probably because they just heard a Brazilian funk edit melt into a Eurodance classic. Technical: Averaging 133.1 BPM, this melodic house and pop-edit journey uses 12A as a frequent tonal home, providing a bright, major-key cheeriness.
The energy balance is remarkably mid-forward at 0.51 avg, meaning the melodic and vocal elements are front and center, supported by a solid low-end at 0.45 and just enough high-end sparkle. Mixing is playful and sometimes abrupt, prioritizing surprise and recognition over smooth harmonic mixing, with BPM jumps that keep everyone on their toes. Crate Digger: Opening with 'Nina Simone - Feeling Good' is a bold, timeless move. The 'Davi Lemos DJ' edit blending it with Brazilian funk is where the set declares its mischievous intent.
'Magic System - Un Gaou à Oran' brings pure Afro-house joy, while 'TSVI - The Cobra's Dance' offers a moment of darker, percussive electronics. Dropping 'Cardi B - WAP' is a guaranteed floor-clearer or filler, executed with a wink, and closing with 'R3HAB & A Touch of Class - All Around The World' is the perfect, ridiculous singalong finale. Journey: From the classic opener 'Feeling Good', through the peak chaos of the 'WAP' drop, to the la-la-la closure of 'All Around The World', this full tracklist is a rollercoaster of 'did they just play that?' moments.
