Mixmag Lab Bengaluru
Spada's Mixmag Lab Bengaluru set begins with a bootleg of 'Wanted', which is exactly what we all are after hearing this—hopelessly wanted by these smooth, melodic house grooves. This is the sound of a sunset session that accidentally becomes a sunrise, where the beats are warm and the vibes are warmer. The atmosphere is one of communal bliss, a gentle euphoria built on solid basslines and heartfelt vocals. Technically, this is melodic house and tech house, cruising at an average BPM of 124 with a strong preference for the 12A key, ensuring a consistently uplifting and open harmonic field.
The energy balance—low at 0.55, mid at 0.40, high at 0.05—prioritizes a fat, rounded low-end and rich mid-range textures, with highs used sparingly for atmospheric sheen. Mixing is smooth and progressive, building energy gradually through key-matched blends and emotional peaks rather than sudden drops. The set is peppered with his own originals, like the glowing 'Spada & Noah Kulaga - Loverglow' and the vocal-driven 'Spada - Want You Back', showing a producer-DJ in full command. The digs are excellent: 'Steve Smooth - I'm Not Sorry' makes another appearance as a timeless tool, 'Louis Futon - Mojito' brings a jazzy, downtempo flair, and 'Spada & Nomvula SA - Sicela Ushwele' incorporates beautiful South African vocals.
'Franky Wah - Sunrise To The Morning' is a perfect sunrise anthem. The journey launches from the nostalgic vocal hook of the Jessie James bootleg, ascends through the melodic highs of his own productions, and concludes on the upbeat, bouncing groove of 'Stephan Crown & EiZer G - Bouncing'. A beautifully crafted live set.
