On the lineup is rising superstar James Hurr. His credits as a production and mixing engineer are an impressive ‘who’s who’ of the UK’s best-known dance talents. Hurr is behind Mark Knight’s ‘Yebisah’ and Prok & Fitch’s ‘Wow’, plus dozens of tracks, collabs and remixes with Michael Gray, Hoxton Whores, Moto Blanco, Armitage, Frederick & Kusse, Tony Moran and Dominique Young. As a channel for his commercial side, Hurr debuted as ‘Hrrtz’ with the Atlantic Records signed, ‘Miracle ft. Light Army’ achieving over 4.4 million streams. Toolroom Record’s Mark Knight said recently that was Hurr “was on fire”. The man wasn’t wrong. Most recently James produced ‘Jump In’ with legendary DJ Michael Gray. The track was so well received that it was played for 8 straight weeks on BBC Radio 1’s Party Anthems.

Xoro first came on the scene with his track ‘Face Mask On’ which hit over 60 million streams on TikTok. After finishing 1st on Spinnin’ Records’ Buzz Low remix competition, Xoro chose to release ‘Face Mask On’ after the song’s success on TikTok. Xoro has also done remixes for several big profile releases, such as PS1 – Life Goes On (feat. Alex Hosking), Tobtok, Milwin & Alfie Cridland – New Levels (feat. Mila Falls) and Joel Corry x Jax Jones – OUT OUT (feat. Charli XCX & Saweetie).

Having released with prestigious labels Soave and Loudkult, Xoro plans to work with Perfect Havoc, Selected, and Spinnin’ Records. With the Covid-19 pandemic bringing gigs to a halt, Xoro hopes to bring some fresh energy to the house scene, with his driving bass lines and deep sound design.
