Live at Anjunadeep pres. Explorations 2022
Cubicolor live at Anjunadeep Explorations in Greece—this is the set you put on when you need the world to soften at the edges, a beautiful, melancholic drift of melodic electronica perfect for watching the sea or contemplating life choices. The atmosphere is thick with emotion, a blend of live instrumentation and deep electronic currents. With a BPM gently cruising around 120.7, this is slow-burn, deep house-adjacent territory, using keys like 12A and 4B to paint in broad, atmospheric strokes. The energy profile is dominated by the mid-range (0.62), where their poignant piano lines and sighing vocals reside, all floating over a subtle but essential low-end pulse (0.36).
The mixing is live and organic, feeling more like a band performance than a DJ set, with tracks ebbing and flowing into one another. The selections are cinematic and personal. Their own 'Prelude' is a haunting, beautiful opener, and the inclusion of Hans Zimmer's 'Cornfield Chase' is a bold, breathtaking move that completely works. 'Points Beyond' showcases their knack for driving, emotive rhythms, while Christian Smith & Wehbba's 'Mutate' injects a surprising bit of sleek, techno-edged tension.
Batti Seven's 'Celestia' is a deep, sparkling gem, and the Marsh track 'Eu Topos' offers a moment of pure, progressive house uplift. They begin with an ambient unknown, weave through the epic, 12-minute journey of 'JD Emmanuel - Inside a Tesla Generator' as a hypnotic centerpiece, and close with their own achingly beautiful 'Lose Your Senses', a closing track that feels like a gentle release.
