Anjunadeep 14 - Mixed By James Grant & Jody Wisternoff
The Anjunadeep 14 mix by James Grant & Jody Wisternoff, filmed at a Maltese sunset, is the official soundtrack to everyone's 'deep & melodic' playlist—and we mean that as the highest compliment. It’s a gorgeously curated, 66-track journey that makes you believe in the healing power of a perfectly timed piano chord. The vibe is pure, unadulterated serenity: golden light, gentle waves, and the comforting sense that everything is going to be emotionally alright. This is deep and progressive house at its most polished and affecting, cruising at 123 BPM and harmonically lush in keys like 7A and 3B.
The energy is perfectly balanced for a sunset narrative, with 46% low and 54% mid, meaning it’s all about warm basslines and soaring, emotional melodies without any harsh edges. Grant and Wisternoff are masters of the long game, blending tracks so seamlessly the mix feels like one continuous, evolving composition. Their programming is impeccable, ebbing and flowing through moments of introspection and gentle uplift. The crate digging is exemplary: Sounom & Sagou's “Everyday Moments (Kamilo Sanclemente Remix)” is a deep, drifting beauty, while Mark Novas' “Sweet Mistake” adds a touch of soulful, vocal warmth.
Alexandro Korzh's “Night Life” brings a groovy, tech-house inflection, and Durante's “Remedy” with Running Touch is an undeniable, melodic anthem. The whimsical detour into the “Chicago Bulls Intro Theme” is pure, nerdy joy, and the Jean Elan remix of Moby's “Wait for Me” is a heartbreakingly beautiful closer-in-waiting. The journey starts in ambient uncertainty, builds through the melodic peaks of tracks like “Remedy,” and gently lands with Ranna Denan's “I Like Fantasies,” a dreamy, fitting end.
