We are thrilled to release this mix as part of our Mixtape series, since it’s a recording of Phara’s live set for the 29-year-celebration of one of Spandau20's favorite clubs, @fusebrussels . 🖤

"It's a 1:20 h extract of a two-hour set. Recorded using two Korg Electribe EMX-1's, an Oto Boum and a Allen Heath Xone96 Mixer. It was the closing set of the first day of a sold out birthday weekend, right underneath the Brussels South train station. It was the first time I played with two Electribes – definitely a gig I will never forget. Unfortunately, the power in the club went down after a while, which cut the recording in half." 🔥
