ETON MESSY in The Lab #SmirnoffHouseboat
ETON MESSY on the #SmirnoffHouseboat is a celebration of house music's greatest hits, a set that acknowledges we all sometimes just want to sing along to a piano riff. The vibe is joyous and communal, with the boat setting adding a breezy, open-air feel. Averaging 125 BPM and centered in 12A with excursions to 5A, this set balances low and mid-energy for a dynamic, accessible ride.
The mixing is crowd-pleasing and precise, with classic tracks given room to breathe. Highlights from this nostalgia-heavy tracklist include the iconic opener 'Star Guitar' by The Chemical Brothers, a progressive house masterpiece; Sweet Female Attitude's 'Flowers' remix for its UK garage swing; Paperclip People's 'Throw' in Slam's RTM Remix for a dose of Detroit techno funk; Praise Cats' 'Shined on Me' for soulful vocals; and the perennial closer 'I Feel Love' by Donna Summer, a timeless nod to disco roots. They open with the building rhythms of 'Star Guitar', peak with the garage-inflected energy of 'Flowers', and close with Summer's anthem, crafting a journey from instrumental build to vocal euphoria.
