Yotto b2b Jeremy Olander
at Anjunadeep Open Air London 2019 (Live) (Full HD Set)
A back-to-back between Yotto and Jeremy Olander is a promise of serious, heads-down progressive house business, a meeting of two masters of the long, emotional build. This Anjunadeep Open Air London set is for the purists, the ones who measure a set's success in terms of harmonic tension and release rather than bangers per minute. The vibe is one of focused appreciation in a packed city park, where every melodic turn is met with a collective, knowing murmur. This is progressive house at its most disciplined and effective, locked into a perfectly grid-aligned 125 BPM and conducting most of its business in the epic, open-hearted key of 12A.
The energy arc is a masterfully slow burn, with that characteristic Anjunadeep low-end warmth (0.692) providing a pillow for Olander's melancholic melodies and Yotto's bigger, synth-driven hooks. Their tag-team mixing is seamless, a conversation built on mutual respect for the groove. The tracklist is a deep diver's paradise: Zimmz's 'Pragmatic' is a dark, rolling progressive gem. Jeremy Olander's own 'Memnon' is a timeless, driving masterpiece from the genre's modern canon.
The Andres Luque remix of Erre's 'Always the Same Eyes' is a soulful, vocal-led highlight, and Alex Farolfi's 'Time Won't Wait' injects a shot of classic, piano-house energy. They open with a mysterious, atmospheric loop to set the tone, build meticulously through deep cuts like 'Memnon', and unleash the ultimate, joyous payoff with the festival-sized madness of Danzel's 'Pump It Up!'—a closing track so perfectly obvious it's genius.
