It's A Party EP.39 — Special Guest KSHMR

Jai Waterhouse brings KSHMR to Radio Metro for Episode 39 of It's A Party, and the result is exactly what the title promises. This is 60 minutes built for dancefloors, gym sessions, night drives, and anywhere you need high-energy electronic music that doesn't apologize for being loud.

The Format

The mix splits cleanly into two sections. Jai Waterhouse opens the first half, setting pace and building momentum through house and techno. KSHMR takes over for the second half, delivering the festival-ready big room sound he's known for—powerful drops, cinematic builds, and the kind of energy that works equally well at Tomorrowland or your home speakers at full volume.

This isn't a subtle underground mix. It's designed for maximum impact, moving through genre-blending electronic music without getting precious about boundaries. House meets techno meets big room, all filtered through what works when you need music to match intensity rather than vibe.

KSHMR's Context

KSHMR arrived in dance music through the Cataracs, the production duo behind Far East Movement's "Like a G6" and Dev's "Bass Down Low." That pop crossover success gave him credibility and reach before he launched KSHMR as a solo project focused on big room progressive house with cinematic, often orchestral elements.

His sound is immediately recognizable—massive builds, dramatic drops, and production that references everything from Bollywood strings to festival main stage anthems. It's music designed to fill stadiums, and it does that job effectively. Whether you think that's electronic music's highest calling or a symptom of the genre's mainstream dilution depends on what you value, but there's no denying KSHMR understands how to create moments that translate across massive sound systems.

The It's A Party Series

Jai Waterhouse's weekly Radio Metro show follows a consistent format—high-energy mixes with rotating guest DJs bringing different perspectives to the party concept. Episode 39 works because both Jai and KSHMR understand the assignment: maintain energy, keep things moving, deliver music that functions as fuel rather than contemplation.

This series exists in the space where radio shows, podcast content, and DJ mixes overlap. It's structured enough for scheduled programming but loose enough to feel like an actual party set. The weekly format creates consistency while guest DJs provide variety.

Who This Is For

If you're looking for deep cuts, subtle mixing, or underground credibility, this isn't the mix. If you need music that works while running, lifting, driving fast, or getting ready to go out—music that prioritizes energy over everything else—this delivers exactly that.

The mix functions as a tool. It's built for specific contexts where you need electronic music to provide momentum and intensity. Within those parameters, it succeeds completely. Jai Waterhouse and KSHMR both understand their audience wants big moments, recognizable energy, and consistent drive. That's what this hour provides.

The Verdict

It's A Party EP.39 does exactly what it promises. KSHMR brings festival energy to a radio show format, Jai Waterhouse provides structure and pacing, and the result is an hour of high-octane electronic music that works for workouts, parties, and any situation requiring maximum energy. This isn't subtle or underground, and it doesn't try to be. It's big room house and techno designed for impact, delivered by two producers who know how to create that impact consistently.
