COMBINE: Mix Series | 97/98.

As always with 97/98 you can expect plenty of groove to keep the dance floor moving. A project that stemmed from house parties, 97/98's sound has evolved into a selection of funky grooves along with elements of progressive melodies and captivating vocal hooks.
Originally from London, but now based in Sheffield - the duo are heavily involved in the Sheffield party scene. Their first taste of promoting events in the city came with all night long sets at their midweek party, Hijacked. Over the past three years their latest party, Factor 50, evolved into a mainstay at Sidney & Matilda and FORGE, focusing on providing opportunities for local talent to showcase their sound. The duo have also taken their Factor 50 party overseas to Brussels, Belgium, for a new concept Two for Two.

COMBINE: Mix Series | 97/98 | 020

This mix for BLUR is a glimpse into the spectrum of sounds that inspire me—deep, driving, and unpredictable. I wanted to explore different shades of my style while keeping it fun and playful, without revealing too much of what’s to come at the event in March. Expect hypnotic grooves, raw energy, and moments of tension and release—just a taste before the full impact hits.

Soma welcomes back longtime affiliate Arnaud Le Texier as he drops yet another storming 4 track release on the “Substance EP”.
