Live from the Anjunakitchen
A four-way back-to-back during the Anjunakitchen era—the very definition of a delightful, chaotic gamble. Will it be a trainwreck or a masterpiece of unspoken synergy? The vibe is one of playful one-upmanship, a shared studio couch where the only VIP bottle is a thermos of coffee. This isn't brute-force techno; it's a sleek, percussive tech-house journey sitting pretty at 127 BPM, with the 12A key providing a hypnotic tonal center.
The energy is consistently buoyant, a rubbery low-end from tracks like Mella Dee’s ‘Techno Disco Tool’ giving way to airy, melodic highs. For the crate diggers, the surprises are the joy here: Bambook’s ‘Give It Up’ gets a sleek Audiofly reshape, Bonobo’s ‘Cirrus’ is deployed not as a chill-out track but as a rhythmic tool, and the sheer audacity of dropping a Lindbergh Palace edit of Rihanna’s ‘Umbrella’ deserves a slow clap. The journey starts with the serene pulse of Nicky Elisabeth’s ‘Fading’, builds through the communal sing-along potential of Disclosure’s ‘You & Me’ remix, and winds down with the classic house warmth of Saint’s ‘Dance With Me’.
It’s the sound of four friends having entirely too much fun, and we’re just lucky to be eavesdropping.
