Jodie Harsh Releases 'The Dance Floor' EP via Harsh Beats, Reflects on Club Culture and Mentors SOPHIE and William Orbit
Jodie Harsh has unveiled her four-track EP, The Dance Floor, through her label Harsh Beats, drawing inspiration from her memoir You Had To Be There and two decades of nightlife experience. In a conversation with Kaltblut Magazine, she elaborates on how the memoir shaped the EP's fusion of house, electro, and disco. The lead track, 'The Night Is Yours,' invites clubgoers to fully immerse themselves in the moment. The EP encapsulates the essence of a night out: the buildup, peak excitement, 3am euphoria, and the inevitable comedown. Harsh acknowledges her influences, SOPHIE and William Orbit. Her weekly event, Feel It, has relocated to XOYO in Shoreditch. The EP is available now.
