After stepping away from the spotlight to focus on his health, DJ Caspa is back behind the decks with a new guest mix for Intr0beatz’s Parallel Groove podcast series. Episode 005 finds the London DJ returning in focused form, delivering a deep house session that reflects decades of club knowledge without leaning on nostalgia.

Caspa’s history runs through multiple chapters of UK dance culture.

He began mixing at 16, absorbing acid house and Balearic sounds during his school years while hearing stories from his older brother about warehouse parties across London. Jungle was his first serious obsession, and like many DJs of that era, he built a vinyl collection track by track while chasing fresh white labels.

Through the 1990s he held down radio slots on Weekend Rush, Pressure FM, Rinse FM, De-Javu, Unknown FM, and Magic FM, sharpening his technical foundation and learning how to hold listeners’ attention beyond the club. Rinse FM later invited him to host his own Sunday show, which developed into one of the station’s more consistent underground touchpoints. That period shaped his approach to flow and pacing, and you can hear that discipline throughout this new mix.

On the club front, Caspa moved from bedroom sessions into UK and European bookings, with Germany becoming a regular destination during his most active touring years. In London, he held residencies at Pacha Presents, Percolate, and Funkatron, while also anchoring nights in Manchester with Poetry In Motion. His current sound leans into house across its spectrum, from tech-driven cuts to bumpy old school-rooted grooves, always grounded in solid drum programming and careful transitions.

Why This Matters

Over the past two years, Caspa stepped away from music to recover from a serious illness. According to the press notes, he has now fully overcome that chapter and is easing back into the circuit with guest mixes and fresh bookings. This appearance on Parallel Groove marks a clear return, and it does so without fanfare. He simply locks into the groove and lets the records do the work.

The mix itself stays rooted in soulful deep house, with a strong portion of unreleased material. There is a clear throughline in how he sequences the session. Tracks roll into one another with minimal disruption, and the energy builds gradually rather than jumping in sharp increments. For anyone who values a DJ set that feels considered from start to finish, this one holds steady.

The opening cut, “Chatting With The Boss” from Intr0beatz featuring Caspa, sets the tone with restrained drums and warm chord movement. From there, selections from K., Marlon George, Retromigration, Scruscru, and Zachary Berns maintain a cohesive palette. Intr0beatz’s “Elevate My Soul” lands as a central moment in the mix, reinforcing the collaborative thread running through the episode.

Here’s the full tracklist:

  1. Intr0beatz ft Caspa – Chatting With The Boss
  2. K. – Be Who You Are
  3. Marlon George – Lonyo
  4. Intr0beatz – Elevate My Soul
  5. Retromigration – Love Underground
  6. Zachary Berns – Shadows
  7. Scrusscru – Nothing Without
  8. K. – First Summer
  9. K. – I Want It Vox
  10. Marlon George – Kingsland Dub
  11. K. – Over Someone

What stands out is the restraint. Caspa does not overwork transitions or rely on obvious peaks. He leans into patience and groove control, which aligns with the ethos of the Parallel Groove series. The result is a set that feels rooted in London’s underground lineage while still pointing forward.

For longtime listeners who followed his radio years or caught him during his residency run, this marks a steady return. For newer audiences discovering him through Intr0beatz’s platform, it functions as a clear introduction to a DJ who has been part of UK dance culture for more than two decades and still approaches the mix with intent.

If this is the start of a broader reentry into clubs and broadcasts, it lands on solid footing. Caspa sounds settled, focused, and back in rhythm.
