Lousie Chen
Mixmag Lab London
Lousie Chen's Mixmag Lab London offering is a slick, groovy house session designed for movement, not overthinking. We're here for the reliable thump, the familiar vocal hook, the simple pleasure of a filter sweep done right. The room feels like a proper club warm-up, energy building steadily as the basslines get fatter. Technically, it's a steady build from 128 to 146 BPM, anchored overwhelmingly in the 12A key for a smooth, harmonic ride. The energy is heavily low-end focused (68%), providing a solid, four-to-the-floor foundation that makes every funky guitar lick and synth stabs pop in the mid-range.
Mixing is clean and professional, prioritizing seamless flow to keep the dancefloor locked. The tracklist is a fun romp through house's various moods. Alex Dolby & Santos's 'Raw Road (Carlo Lio Remix)' opens with techy, driving energy. Paul Johnson's 'I'm a Freak' is an undeniable, cheeky classic that always works. Folamour's 'Ça Va Aller' brings a touch of French touch sunshine, and Mr.
Dë's 'Sex On the Beach 2000' is a lengthy, euphoric workout. The reappearance of Gigi D'Agostino's 'Bla Bla Bla' across so many Lab sets is becoming a wonderful in-joke. The journey starts with driving tech-house, hits a peak with the raw energy of 'I'm a Freak', and cools down with the deep, soulful vibes of Tanya Louise's 'Deep in You (Rob's Vibey Dub)'.
