SNAFU #013 // PROSPA

PROSPA // For the Prospa duo, Harvey Blumer & Gosha Smith, the only way is up, and their ascent has been strategic and well thought out; priding themselves on their ability to have revived rave-era dance music, the duo who joined forces in 2013 has undoubtedly honed-in their craft transitioning smoothly from deep house, into what can now be described as their signature sound of classic rave sounds. Household names in the electronic/dance scene, they have amassed an impressive 707,000+ monthly listeners on Spotify (with their 2020 single ‘Ecstasy (Over & Over)’ being streamed a remarkable 23M+ times since its release) and their breakthrough 2018 single ‘Prayer’ helping to revive the label Stress Records. Their sound is a reimagining of classic dance music and as they aim to emulate their heroes Daft Punk, The Prodigy, and Chemical Brothers – this producer team is one to watch. One of fasting rising electronic acts in the world. Prospa join us at Loft to shell out their signature sound. An ethereal sonic blend of the 90’s rave movement with modern electronic breaks and thick basslines. Their breakthrough track 'Prayer' is a perfect example of their ability of bending genres, fusing the old with the new which went on to receive hottest record of the year in 2019.
