Las Vegas nightclub residencies have traditionally been built around artists who are already global household names. The more revealing bookings are the ones that identify who may be next. Prospa, the Leeds electronic duo of Harvey Blumler and Gosha Smith, arrives at LIV Las Vegas in 2026 at exactly that point in its rise.
They are not an overnight success and they are not simply the name behind one viral record. Prospa has spent more than a decade developing a sound that connects classic rave, house, breakbeat, soul, and modern festival production. Their story stretches from childhood friendship in northern England to Ibiza, Coachella, Miami, EDC Las Vegas, a debut album on CircoLoco Records, and now a residency at one of the Strip’s most influential nightclubs.
Who is Prospa?
Prospa is made up of Harvey Blumler and Guiorgi “Gosha” Smith, childhood friends from Leeds. Their musical backgrounds did not begin in the same place. Blumler played drums from a young age and grew up with rock ambitions. Smith moved through metal, jazz, and jazz influenced hip hop before becoming absorbed in electronic production.
That contrast became one of the duo’s strengths. They began producing together in 2013, first exploring deep house before moving toward a rawer and more personal interpretation of dance music. The sound that emerged was informed by the physical energy of old rave records, but it never felt like simple nostalgia. Prospa used the past as material for something immediate.
Their productions often combine bright piano lines, breakbeat percussion, heavy low end, emotional vocal fragments, and the kind of builds designed to change the temperature of a room. The Chemical Brothers and Daft Punk are among their stated influences, but Prospa’s identity is distinctly tied to the history and present of UK club culture.
“Prayer” and the breakthrough
The turning point arrived with “Prayer.” Released in 2018, the record gave Prospa a wider audience and drew support from BBC Radio 1 tastemaker Annie Mac, who selected it as her Hottest Record in the World. The track captured what would become the duo’s signature balance: old school rave emotion translated with modern weight and clarity.
“Prayer” was not the endpoint. “Ecstasy (Over & Over)” pushed the euphoric side of their sound further. “Want Need Love” brought warmth and vocal lift. “Don’t Stop” showed the duo’s growing command of direct, club focused songwriting. Across singles and their Rave Science releases, Prospa kept expanding without abandoning the dance floor.
That consistency matters. Electronic artists can rise quickly around a single track, but building a lasting residency level identity requires a catalog that can carry an entire night. Prospa now has one.
Free Your Mind changes the scale
Prospa’s debut album, Free Your Mind, arrived June 5, 2026 through CircoLoco Records. The 11 track project is the clearest statement of the duo’s range so far, moving from peak time records into more melodic and reflective territory without losing its club foundation.
The album includes collaborations with Cloonee, KETTAMA, Kosmo Kint, Nafe Smallz, and Murda Beatz. The title track with Cloonee gives the project an immediate house centerpiece, while “Break Free,” “Body Heat,” “Party People,” “Baby,” and “Dreams” show how comfortably Prospa can move between underground energy and a broader audience.
CircoLoco is an especially meaningful home for the record. The brand grew from its influential parties at DC10 in Ibiza into a global club institution and record label. Giving Prospa space for a full length debut places the duo within a lineage that values both dance floor credibility and international reach.
Why Prospa works in Las Vegas
Las Vegas crowds are more musically sophisticated than they sometimes receive credit for. The Strip still rewards recognizable hits, but its best rooms increasingly understand the value of artists who can create a full journey rather than simply play a sequence of familiar records.
Prospa brings both sides. Their catalog has recognizable vocal moments and festival sized releases, but their roots are in the dynamics of a real club set. They can build tension, move between house and breakbeat, reach for rave nostalgia, and then return to a modern groove without making the set feel disconnected.
That range is particularly valuable at LIV Las Vegas. The Fontainebleau club is a high production room designed for major visual moments, but it still depends on the artist to control the energy. Prospa’s music is physical enough for the scale of LIV while retaining the edge that made the duo compelling in the first place.
A residency booking that says something
LIV announced Prospa as part of its 2026 Las Vegas residency class. That matters beyond a single performance. A residency signals that the venue believes an artist can return, develop an audience, and become part of the club’s identity.
LIV founder David Grutman has built his nightlife businesses by pairing established superstars with artists positioned for their next major leap. Prospa’s name appearing in that forward looking conversation, alongside other rising acts, matches what is happening across the rest of their career.
The momentum is visible well beyond Las Vegas. Prospa has moved through Ibiza, major European festivals, Coachella, EDC Las Vegas, and influential American club markets. A recent Club Space Miami appearance added another important room to that run. Miami is one of the country’s clearest testing grounds for dance music, and recognition there often travels quickly to Las Vegas.
Race Week is one more signal
Prospa returns to LIV Las Vegas on Thursday, November 19, during Formula 1 Race Week. It is one date within a larger residency story, but it is a significant one. Race Week draws an international audience, premium nightlife demand, and some of the year’s most competitive artist programming.
Booking Prospa to open LIV’s Race Week run places the duo alongside Adriatique, Dom Dolla, and Disco Lines across one of the biggest weekends on the Las Vegas calendar. It shows the level at which LIV now sees them operating.

Why Prospa is a name to remember
The most exciting point in an artist’s career is often the moment when the evidence begins to line up. The records are there. The live rooms are getting bigger. The industry is paying attention. The debut album has arrived. Major venues are making longer term commitments.
Prospa is at that point now. For Las Vegas nightlife fans, the residency offers a chance to see the duo before their place at the top of dance music lineups feels obvious to everyone.
