Smokey Bubblin' B
Kiwi Hush 2
Let's be honest: we all have a soft spot for the anthems that defined a certain era of euphoric, hands-in-the-air house. Smokey Bubblin' B's Kiwi Hush 2 set is a glorious, unapologetic dive into that progressive house and trance nostalgia. The vibe is pure, unadulterated joy, a room full of people singing along to melodies they thought they'd forgotten. Operating at a relentlessly upbeat 135.6 BPM average, with the harmonic core locked into the uplifting 12A key, this set is engineered for peak-time euphoria. The energy balance is classic big room: strong lows at 0.6313 for the driving four-on-the-floor, melodic mids at 0.2677 for those iconic synth lines, and just enough high-end sparkle at 0.0992 for the airy pads and vocal lifts.
Mixing is big and bold, with long, sweeping blends that let anthems breathe and build, creating a continuous wave of emotion. It's a masterclass in track selection, where every record feels like a cherished friend. The opener, Da Hool's 'Meet Her At The Loveparade' remix, is an instant time machine to 1999. Energy 52's 'Café Del Mar' in its various forms is the undisputed heart of the set, a timeless progressive trance monument. Above & Beyond's 'Good for Me' club mix brings that early-2000s emotional trance weight.
TSHA's 'Giving Up' offers a modern, vocal-led deep house contrast, while Gigi D'Agostino's 'Bla Bla Bla' injects some silly, infectious eurodance energy. The closing Nuyorican Soul classic, 'Runaway', is a soulful, jazzy comedown masterpiece. Starting with the iconic Loveparade anthem, the set builds through trance milestones, peaking with the sun-drenched euphoria of 'Café Del Mar', before gently landing in the soulful embrace of 'Runaway'.
