A remix we did of Godtet because we got to play before them at our last show, we love Godtet.

Max Lush (Middle James Unofficial Remix)

Up-and-coming Eora/Sydney DJ and producer @levossss puts his spin on the Middle James single “Kestrel”, reimagining the track as a brooding, moody slow-burn that erupts into a euphoric, break-laden anthem.

Where the original channels lush jazz textures and live instrumentation, LEVOS pulls the track into darker, club-ready territory - layering broken rhythms, sweeping pads, and deep low-end pressure. The remix is both a nod to UK-inspired dancefloor energy and a showcase of LEVOS’ emerging voice as a producer with emotional depth and bold sonic instincts.
