HONEY DIJON in The Lab Austin
Honey Dijon in The Lab Austin feels like a master returning to the basics, and we're all here for the sermon. The vibe is intimate, all wooden panels and focused energy, as if every classic house record is being pulled from a sacred archive. This full tracklist is a deep house odyssey, locked at a steady 125 BPM with the soulful key of 3B dominating—it's all about groove, not rush.
The energy profile shows highs in the lows at 0.69, with mids at 0.23, meaning the basslines and kicks are the undeniable stars, while melodic elements shimmer subtly above. Honey's mixing is fluid and timeless, weaving a tapestry of classic vocals and modern edits without ever losing the pocket. Standout tracks include the opener 'Give It Up' by Bambook in its Audiofly Remix guise, a driving yet soulful statement of intent.
Erick Morillo & Harry Romero's 'Bang' brings a raw, percussive punch, while the inclusion of Robin S.'s 'Show Me Love' is a timeless weapon that never fails to unite a room. Maae's 'Descartes' offers a deeper, more introspective moment, and the closing 'Let the Music Use You' by The Nightwriters is a perfect, gospel-tinged finale. The journey starts with the hypnotic pulse of 'Give It Up', builds through the anthemic peak of 'Show Me Love', and resolves with the uplifting message of 'Let the Music Use You', proving once again that house music is a feeling.
