Anjunadeep 16 - Mixed by James Grant & Jody Wisternoff
Anjunadeep 16 mixed by James Grant & Jody Wisternoff, filmed against a Vietnamese sunset, is the kind of cinematic deep house experience we pretend we're too cool for but secretly crave. It's the soundtrack to that moment when the sky turns pink and all our pretensions melt away. With an average BPM of 123.7 and a harmonic backbone in keys like 3B and 10B, this set is a masterclass in emotive, melodic progression, where every transition feels like a gentle tide pulling us deeper.
The energy profile (avg_low 0.69) is all about warm, undulating basslines and lush pads, with highs used sparingly for emotional punctuation rather than climax. Their mixing is impeccably smooth, weaving 68 tracks into a coherent narrative that balances introspection with subtle dancefloor momentum. For the collectors, the opening 'Kloyd & Fractures - Will We Ever Learn (Mixed)' sets a poignant, reflective tone, while 'Catching Flies - When It's Late' is a gorgeous, downtempo gem that showcases the label's eclectic taste.
'Fejká - Maara' brings a touch of organic, worldly melody, and their edit of 'orbit - You' feels like a heartfelt, communal anthem. The journey begins with the wistful chords of 'Will We Ever Learn', builds through the lush crescendos of tracks like 'anamé - Malibu', and dissolves into the ethereal closer 'Because of Art - Artificial Cloud (Mixed)', leaving us in a state of blissful reverie.
