Internationally recognized producer Josh Harris, who has given us chart-topping hit songs with the likes of Junior Kelly, Duane Stephenson, Chezidek, Luciano, Turbulence, Mykal Rose, and many more notable reggae acts, has now formed his own all-star band called the Spiral Mixers.
 
The ensemble, which will be headed by Harris, will feature only acclaimed musicians and vocalists, all of whom are proficient in various musical styles. Among them is platinum guitarist Greg Douglass, a childhood friend of Harris who has played on records that have sold well over 20 million copies.
 
The group’s diversity will be on display on their debut album, titled Crossing Bridges, which is scheduled to be released at the end of May. Having said that, the project’s lead single, Fire Burnin, will be shared on Friday, May 17th. Fire Burnin is an inspirational reggae tune sung by world-renowned Jamaican artist Glen Ricks. 
 
Since he launched Big Feet Records in 2019, Josh Harris has been busy writing, producing, and releasing music for other artists and musicians. However, the formation of the Spiral Mixers means that, in addition to the aforementioned forms of expression, he can now showcase his own artistic side.
