It’s been a long time coming. For over 4 years Tchami has been leading the future house charge along with his partners in crime MERCER and DJ Snake, only to finally be spotlighted by Pete Tong’s iconic broadcast. The Parisian producer arrives for his Essential Mix duties with a crate of bombastic house cuts in his crates, opening powerfully with Dombreksy’s “Utopia” before evoking the smoke-filled warehouses where his music feels most at home. In his 2 hour stint he weaves together 40 tracks, including a handful of his own productions and Confessions Label releases.

It’s the sort of debut that we’d have expected when he first made his mark as one of the first pioneers to earn the future house distinction. Gritty, dark, and thunderous. Just the way we like it.
