This one is a special one.

December this year marks two years since we started MITHA and we couldn't be happier with our journey so far. This party is to celebrate everyone who's helped us out along the way and in what better fashion to do it than by hosting a great night?

Expect a medley of music on the night, building from disco and italo house to 140s and bassline and maybe even a couple of higher BPMs...

See you there

Love MITHA
