16BL
Live from Anjunadeep x Printworks London 2019 (Official HD Set)
Ah, Printworks. The ultimate industrial playground where finance bros pretend they’re starring in a cyberpunk movie for the weekend. They’ve traded their Patagonia gilets for black tees, aggressively filming the vertical lighting rig while shouting over the drop about their crypto portfolio. The legendary press halls are bathed in slicing lasers and atmospheric smoke, creating a cathedral of deep, emotive sound.
Scouring the 16BL Live from Anjunadeep x Printworks London 2019 tracklist, we find a masterfully restrained 122 BPM tempo. Navigating the melancholic 7A and 12A Camelot keys, the energy arc is a slow, methodical emotional build. The mixing in this Rominimal live set is utterly flawless, with transitions so long and smooth you don't even realize the track has changed. The track selection is a deep dive into lush, cinematic house.
Unearthing the Patrice Bäumel Remix of Cubicolor's "Dead End Thrills" is a guaranteed tear-jerker, while slipping in an Afro-tech remix of "Abo Mvelo" keeps the rhythm section completely unpredictable and fresh. The journey starts in the shadows with an atmospheric Unknown opening track, slowly drawing the massive room in. Hitting a peak with Guy Gerber's "What To Do (&ME Remix)", the set gracefully concludes with the iconic, euphoric closing track, "Cafe Del Mar" by Soulxa. Proper magic.
