Anjunadeep Open Air: Los Angeles at #ABGT500 (Official 4K Set)
We've all been that person, Shazam in hand, trying to ID a lush piano riff as the sun dips below the horizon at an open-air. Marsh and Simon Doty's Anjunadeep Open Air set in Los Angeles is the soundtrack to that specific, blissful melancholy. The vibe is golden hour warmth giving way to a crisp, starry night, a communal sigh set to music. This is melodic house at its most polished and soulful, a 125 BPM cruise controlled by smooth harmonic mixing, with the keys of 12A and 8A providing a warm, major-progression foundation.
The energy is all about the low-end swell and emotive pads, with mixing so fluid it feels like one continuous, gently undulating track. Standout picks include Simon Doty's own 'Tattoo (feat. Ruth Royall) [3am in Dhërmi Mix]', a vocal deep house cut that defines the label's sound, and Marsh's 'Reminiscent', a driving yet introspective builder. The cheeky, expertly layered use of the 'Holden & Thompson - Nothing' acapella over a rolling groove is a lesson in vibe curation.
Ending on the piano-house classic 'Michael Gray - The Weekend' is a pure, unapologetic crowd-pleaser—and sometimes, that's exactly what we need. The set builds from its mysterious opener, finds its heartfelt peak in 'Tattoo', and sends everyone home smiling with 'The Weekend'.
