Clash DJ Mix – Pirupa

Toasting his new Rebellion-sponsored EP...

Italian-born Pirupa is in his stride.

The DJ is continually in demand, peppering the summer season with high profile slots and more than a few visits to the White Island.

As a producer, Pirupa is able to tick his pick from any number of vital imprints. Crosstown Rebels' sub-label Rebellion is clearly on his wavelength, with the Italian beatsmith working with the label in his next EP.

'Cristallo' EP is out now, blessed with the euphoria of high summer but allied to an inquisitive sonic sensibility – couple with a Maher Daniel re-work, it's an essential purchase.

Pirupa explains: “This is a special EP for me. ‘Cristallo’ is very significant to me, I made it in 2014 while inspired by my stay in Ibiza last August and the magic of the island, with its hot and sexy sounds; while ‘Save a Prayer’ was created more recently in April, inspired by my last tour in the US where lots of particular things have happened. I am very happy with the work done and especially to debut on a label very important to me from an artist like Damian Lazarus, who I respect and have respected for over 10 years, since I started as a DJ and producer”.

To celebrate the release, Pirupa has pieced together the latest instalment of the Clash DJ Mix series. Tech-hardened house with a sunshine edge, the producer doesn't want to reveal the tracklist so you'll just have to get your thinking cap on…

Check it out now.
