TERRY HUNTER righteous house set in The Lab LDN
When Terry Hunter steps into The Lab LDN, you know you're in for a righteous history lesson, served with zero pretension. We're all here for that deep, soulful house knowledge, trying to ID every classic vocal snippet and piano stab. The vibe is intimate and focused, a booth session for true heads. This is a masterclass in timeless, soulful house, cruising at a steady 127 BPM with Terry largely operating in the rich, gospel-tinged territory of key 3B.
The energy profile is beautifully balanced, with a solid low-end foundation (58% low energy) supporting those iconic mid-range keys and vocals, while the high-end is used sparingly for punctuation. His mixing is as smooth as the music, with long, luxurious blends that let the tracks breathe. The tracklist is a treasure trove. He opens with the operatic drama of Grace Jones' "Operattack", setting a theatrical tone.
The Adam Ten & Mita Gami remix of RÜFÜS DU SOL's "Lately" is a modern deep house gem seamlessly woven in, while Brandon Thompson's "Da Lutha" provides a percussive, driving interlude. The crown jewel might be the JTMT Epic Mix of "Born to Do It", a soaring, seven-minute journey in itself, and of course, dropping Mr. Fingers' "Can You Feel It" is a move that never fails. The set builds from the opener's drama, hits its emotive peak with "Born to Do It", and closes on a high note with Hunter's own uplifting anthem, "Sweet Music".
