Powered by colourful keys, ecstatic vocal samples and the life-giving jolt of classic breakbeat hardcore, India Jordan’s Watch Out! EP is about as optimistic as dance music gets, and the London DJ’s Pride mix runs on similar fuel. Having just moved to a new house in Southeast London, they recorded the mix in their bedroom on a sunny Sunday afternoon, feeling “fun, happy, queer”, they tell Apple Music. “I was feeling energised and inspired. I think being in a positive headspace brought out the best of me.” The tracklist covers plenty of ground—the hypnotic juke of Traxman’s “Spinning My Mind”, the punishing hard drum of FALSEBOI’s “Skin”, the cheeky old-school trance of Storm’s “It’s Time to Burn”. But no track brings a broader smile than Earth Boys’ dreamy “I Just Love It With You (Lxury Remix)”, which Jordan tells us is their favourite track at the moment. “It’s really joyful and reminds me of a happy time.”
