The leap to the LP format on CircoLoco Records
On June 5th, the British duo originally from Leeds, Prospa, materialized one of the most ambitious projects of their career with the release of their first studio album, titled Free Your Mind. This release not only represents the consolidation of the act in the international clubbing scene, but also marks an unprecedented milestone in the industry: it is the first full Long Play (LP) released in the catalog of CircoLoco Records, the record label born from the alliance between the famous Ibiza party brand and the developer Rockstar Games.
Composed of 11 tracks, the album proposes a precise synthesis between the structures of classic house and the sound design of contemporary dance music. The work moves away from the immediacy of the single format to build a coherent narrative oriented towards the dance floor, incorporating everything from deep house atmospheres to Afro-influenced percussion and nods to the rave sound of the nineties.
Studio synergies and sound design
The sound architecture of Free Your Mind relies on strategic collaborations with various profiles in the industry. Throughout the album, Prospa demonstrates their versatility in production through the integration of different vocal and rhythmic textures. Among the most notable associations of the project are:
- Cloonee: Co-producer on the title track 'Free Your Mind', contributing a dense groove and basslines focused on tech house.
- Murda Beatz: Collaborator on the track 'Baby', fusing elements of urban music with electronic cadence.
- KETTAMA: Present on 'Break Free', injecting percussive force and festival dance floor energy.
- Kosmo Kint: In charge of the vocal performance on 'Love Songs', a slow-burning track with a clear soulful vocation.
Free Your Mind is an elegant collection of 11 future club classics that consolidates Prospa's status as one of the most exciting electronic acts in the world.

Transcendence in the electronic circuit
The decision by CircoLoco Records to bet on a full album reflects a maturation in the platform's strategy, traditionally focused on Extended Plays (EPs) by artists of the stature of Mochakk or Skream. For Prospa, the physical edition in vinyl format and its global distribution on streaming platforms certify their transition from underground promises to absolute mainstage references. With polished mix engineering and a purely analog approach to their synthesizers, this debut sets a new quality standard for the releases of the current summer season.
