mi-el b2b Soft Break

Some sets arrive exactly when you need them. Find your rhythm with this early dose of swinging, soulful goodness.

MI-EL and Soft Break step up to STROBE with an R&B-centred b2b built for breaking in the day. Fresh from standout appearances, from a BBC 6 mix and an RA podcast, MI-EL has a gift for tracing the threads between pop, R&B and soul and the underground these sounds emerged from. Beside her, Soft Break continues to carve out one of the Netherlands’ most distinctive club voices, moving effortlessly between UK bass, sound system traditions, footwork, juke and experimental club.

Sunshine is the momentum and it’s full speed into the Friday heat. There’s no burning here, just a radiant glow.
