BEN PEARCE disco set in the Lab
at #Smirnoffhouse
#Smirnoffhouse means half the crowd is here for free vodka, the other half thinks they're at Studio 54 because they bought a sequined shirt from ASOS. Absolute scenes as techno tourists in bucket hats try to two-step to actual groove. Sticky floors and corporate branding miraculously melt away under a proper red-hued disco inferno. The BEN PEARCE at #Smirnoffhouse tracklist is a masterclass in tension, holding a steady 123.2 BPM.
He works the Camelot wheel heavily through 3B and 7A, keeping the Rominimal and disco energy mid-range and dubby. It's a proper flowing BEN PEARCE live set without unnecessary drops. He goes deep, pulling out 'Sound Stream - Inferno' to keep the heads nodding. Throwing in 'Chaka Khan - I'm Every Woman (The Reflex Remix)' is a massive crowd-pleaser that gets the Instagram posers off their phones.
The opening track 'Talamanca System - Balanzat' sets a lush, Balearic tone immediately. The absolute peak arrives with an 11-minute stretch of 'Armand Van Helden - You Don't Know Me', before winding down to the closing track, 'Whitney Houston - I'm Your Baby Tonight (Yvonne Turner Extended Remix)'.
