Eliza rose leaked1/1/2024 ![]() Two days later at her set in Mixmag's Lab LDN, crowds packed into our office in the early evening - on one of the hottest days of the year - to catch her in action, earning rapturous applause as she dropped her new single, mixed in from Ministers De-La-Funk's ' Believe' feat iconic house vocalist Jocelyn Brown. Upon dropping 'B.O.T.A' in June, she'd already become a favourite of garage aficionados. As a DJ, she's become renowned for combining beloved '90s rave sounds, 4x4, 2-step and forward-facing club cuts, having graced the decks at the likes of The Cause, Risen festival, We Out Here and fabric, alongside residencies on Rinse FM and Balamii. Born and raised in East London, the budding DJ, producer and vocalist has releases on imprints such as Peaky Beats Records, Dan Shake's label Shake and her four-track EP ' Shades of Red' which dropped on Lobster Theremin back in March - even launching her own label, Rosebud Recordings. “I actually forgot to press send,” she laughs, “I thought hated it but as soon as I did press send he got back to saying he loved it."ĭespite her newfound chart success, Eliza is already a familiar face within the club circuit. It adds to the Black female empowerment that runs through the song already.” Once the Pam Grier-inspired vocals were laid down, it was time to press send. “The poster says something like 'She’s the baddest, one-chick hit-squad that ever hit town!' and I was like, 'that's really cool'. While staring at a wall in her partner's house, borrowed mic in hand and searching for inspiration, she found it from an unlikely source: “In my boyfriend's bedroom, he has a poster of the Pam Grier 1973 blaxploitation film Coffy,” Eliza reflects. “He didn't send me anything for ages and I was kind of thinking: 'wow, you're taking a piss now.'” When the track did come in, however, Eliza was awed - and a little overwhelmed, with what the perfect vocal hook would be for the track. ![]() It was a nervous wait for Eliza, who'd been devising the track alongside the Manchester DJ and producer, AKA Zach Bruce, via Instagram DMs. So what is it about Eliza Rose's Sound of The Summer that has made it so universally appealing?Ĭreated from a 30-year-old sample of Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam's ‘ Let the beat hit em (ll w/love rc mix)’ - the underlying, '90s-rave-inspired instrumental was created by Interplanetary Criminal. As 'B.O.T.A' makes its bid for UK #1 this week, it's become a rare example of an underground dance music/mainstream crossover. ![]() But, as it catapulted to #45, to #10 and then last week - to #2, it suddenly became very obvious that we have something very special on our hands. When it entered the official UK Singles Chart three weeks ago (at #96), it was a welcome surprise for the rave set. Since Hackney-born garage connoisseur Eliza Rose dropped the five-minute 58-second banger back in June it's generated 108.k TikToks (and rising), held a steady run as the most Shazammed track in the UK and become the go-to closing track for any crowd-facing festival DJ. (Baddest Of Them All)’ has been impossible to avoid.
