Biography of Prospa

A pulse of modern rave

In Prospa, the nostalgia of nineties British rave acts as fuel for luminous, physical, and sentimental club music. The duo, which emerged in Leeds, has built its identity on a mix of house, breakbeat, melodic techno, and festival energy, with productions that alternate between direct dancefloor hits and more expansive, emotional moments.

From guitars to club language

Harvey Jay Milo Blumler and Guiorgi Guy Smith grew up in the same Leeds scene and started producing together in 2013, after exploring musical interests ranging from rock and metal to jazz and instrumental hip hop. That background, outside the strict canon of the club DJ, explains much of their approach: big melodies, physical structures, and production designed to lift rooms without losing narrative tension. After an initial phase close to deep house, the project shifted toward a more personal reading of rave, with declared influences from Daft Punk, The Chemical Brothers, Disclosure, and The Prodigy.

Prayer as an ignition point

The big leap came with Prayer, released in 2018 and turned into one of the key pieces of their early phase. Annie Mac's selection of it as Hottest Record in the World on BBC Radio 1 amplified the track's reach and helped reactivate Stress Records, a historic label of British house culture that had been without relevant activity for years. From there, Prospa consolidated a recognizable language in releases like Control The Party, Ecstasy (Over & Over), Want Need Love, and the EPs Rave Science Vol. 1 and Rave Science Vol. 2, where their sound began to combine rave nostalgia, luminous vocals, tense basslines, and more muscular production.

From the British underground to CircoLoco

Their subsequent evolution expanded the project's perimeter. The collaboration with DJ Seinfeld on Sira, the Close Your Eyes EP with KETTAMA, the work with Skream on Waiheke Island, and a string of releases for CircoLoco Records placed the duo at a crossroads between the underground club scene and major stages. Tracks like If You Want My Loving, Motions, This Rhythm with RAHH, You Don't Own Me alongside Josh Baker and RAHH, Love Songs with Kosmo Kint, Don't Stop, and Baby with Murda Beatz reinforced an international-profile phase, more vocal and more oriented toward moments of maximum energy.

An album to close the circle

In 2026, Free Your Mind confirmed their leap to the long-play format on CircoLoco Records. The album gathers collaborations with Cloonee, KETTAMA, Murda Beatz, Kosmo Kint, Nafe Smallz, and Rohan Pinnock-Hamilton, and summarizes Prospa's central tension: high-impact club music with a very visible emotional charge. In the booth, that identity has translated to stages like Glastonbury, CircoLoco Ibiza, Printworks, Red Rocks, The Warehouse Project, and the Yuma tent at Coachella, with sets that prioritize euphoria, dynamics, and a contemporary reading of the British rave legacy.
