James Grant & Jody Wisternoff |
Live at Anjunadeep x Printworks London 2021
The Printworks crush is real, and so is our collective, sweat-drenched determination to Shazam every beautiful, unreleased melody James Grant and Jody Wisternoff throw at us. This Anjunadeep session is a pilgrimage for the emotionally invested. The vibe is that iconic Printworks cavern, all steel beams and heavenly light shafts cutting through the deep house haze.
Technically, it's a profound lesson in deep and progressive house, holding a steady 124.4 BPM and dominated by the profoundly emotive key of 3B. Their back-to-back style creates a rich, narrative tapestry, weaving between moments of ambient introspection and hands-in-the-air melodic crescendos with impeccable timing. The tracklist is a treasure trove, from the opening serenity of Nox Vahn's 'Lullaby' to the epic, ten-minute journey of Makebo & Amonita's 'Back To The Roots'.
The pinnacle might be the lump-in-throat moment of the Lane 8 remix of 'What Have You Done to Me?'. They guide us from that gentle 'Lullaby' opener, through soaring peaks, to the softly resolving finale of Ikttus's 'Visions'.
