The Waters by Streeton feat. Lucy Sparks & MIFE

With The Waters, British producer and DJ Streeton unveils the opening chapter of Iridescence, his debut album project.

The single “The Waters,” featuring Lucy Sparks and Berlin-based saxophonist and producer MIFE, introduces the warmer, more reflective side of STREETON’s sound. Opening with glowing keys and fluid percussion, the track unfolds through fractured but groove-led drum programming, soulful vocal interplay, swirling saxophone textures, and rich harmonic layers.

Speaking about the collaboration with Bristol-based vocalist Lucy Sparks, STREETON says: “We connected through common friends and a shared love of broken beat. I was already a fan of their music and her super soulful, raw vocal style. After sending her a few demos, she sent back the first take for The Waters, and I was truly blown away.” Alongside Lucy’s vocal contribution, MIFE - the alias of Berlin-based saxophonist, producer, and composer Efim Braylovskiy - adds another dimension to the track with his jazz-informed improvisational approach and electronic sensibilities.

Originally hailing from the rural surroundings of Hertfordshire before relocating to London almost a decade ago, Streeton has steadily emerged as a distinctive voice within the UK bruk and future-jazz underground. His productions combine warm musicality, bouncy basslines, rich chords, and percussion-led grooves with the kind of club-focused energy that makes his sound equally suited to dancefloors, headphones, and late-night listening sessions.

Coming to prominence through releases on respected labels including Dance Regular, Darker Than Wax, To The Rock, and Boogie Café - alongside appearances at We Out Here Festival and broadcasts for Rinse FM and Voices Radio - Streeton has become part of a new generation carrying broken beat traditions into new territory while remaining deeply connected to their roots. That balance between dancefloor energy and detailed songwriting ultimately led to the creation of "Iridescence," due March 2027 on Sonar Kollektiv.
