Shift K3y Kicks Off the Splash House Sessions Mix Series

Things are getting a little moist up in here as the Palm Springs weekender's June edition approaches.

Nobody enjoys Splash House more than the sun-starved British, the majority of whom spend the bi-annual Palm Springs weekender notching up a traditionally English neon-pink sunburn and trying to get Pete Tong's Blackberry pin. You can tell that the Brits on show at Splash House, Vanilla Ace and My Nu Leng this time around on June 8-9, are talented DJs because they so effectively select for poolside vibes, despite the fact that there are only three outdoor pools on the entire Island of Great Britain and two of them belong to Simon Cowell.

That said, no British act on the Splash House bill has quite brought the ruckus in the past year quite like Shift K3Y. The London-based house and garage producer rose from teenage obscurity to clubland essentialism with tracks like "Not into It," and "I Know" following up his chart-topping "Touch" in quick succession and taking him from Marco Del Horno's Bullet Train imprint to Columbia Records as he brings underground vibes to the mainstream (and occasionally the other way around).

Before Shift K3y swims off to superstardom, he's put together a mix so fire that even the most reticent of sun-fearing curmudgeons will be doing cannonballs into the nearest pool. The selection kicks off with Shifty's own bootleg of TLC's "No Scrubs," but nestles into some classy whomp-adjacent house vibes with THUMP-loved artists like Chris Lorenzo, AC Slater, Gorgon City, and Mak & Pasteman keeping it grooving all the way to the deep end.

Nab your tickets for June. Don't worry, they're waterproof.
