Ethan Walsh Steps Up for the Data Transmission Spotlight Mix

Ethan Walsh has had the sort of year where records start doing the talking for you. Following the breakout success of ‘Look Good’, the fast-rising UK producer landed on Creamfields Recordings in August with ‘Loving You’, another firmly club-minded cut built around a commanding bassline, zipping synths and uplifting vocals.

‘Look Good’ has already clocked more than nine million streams and picked up a Franky Rizardo remix, while support has come from Max Dean, Interplanetary Criminal, Obskur and L.P. Rhythm. Add appearances alongside Cloonee and Murda Beatz, and Walsh is starting to put some proper weight behind the online numbers.

For his Data Transmission Spotlight Mix, though, we get to hear what sits behind his own productions.

It’s a tight selection of rolling house and tech house, with East End Dubs’ ‘Together’, Louis Millne’s ‘Second Guessing’, Malikk’s ‘So Smooth’ and Simone Liberali’s ‘Vibration’ sitting alongside newer cuts from CLUGGY, Nocapz. and WESTGATE. There’s also room for a Mazos edit of Hot Natured’s ‘Reverse Skydiving’, which should tell you this isn’t simply a run through whatever landed in the promo folder this week.

The mix moves with plenty of bounce, clipped percussion and low-end pressure, keeping things rolling rather than chasing obvious peak-time moments. It’s the sort of selection that makes sense a few hours into a basement, when the room is locked and nobody needs convincing.

With ‘Loving You’ adding another strong release to his catalogue, this Spotlight gives us a better look at Ethan Walsh the DJ, not just the producer currently piling up streams.
