Keep Hush Live: The Cause Seaside Beano
A 'Seaside Beano' implies a certain breezy, joyful abandon, and AliA's deep house and tech house set for Keep Hush Live at The Cause captures that feeling perfectly: think sunset sessions, warm breezes, and grooves that unlock your hips. This is music for smiling, for connecting, for that gentle peak where the outside world melts away. With a BPM average of 133.2, floating between 120 and 136, it's squarely in the pocket of soulful, rolling house, harmonically rich with a focus on the warm, jazzy minor tones of key 3B. The energy cleverly prioritizes the mid-range at 0.4901, allowing basslines and chords to breathe and intertwine, while lows at 0.3743 provide a subtle pulse and highs at 0.1353 add sparkling details.
AliA's mixing is smooth and musical, using long, harmonic blends that emphasize the melodic content and create a seamless, flowing narrative. 'Bakey - JB Riddim' is a perfect, bumping opener with its infectious organ riff and swung rhythm. 'Sychosis - How Deep Is Your Love (Unofficial Remix)' is a genius rework that injects a massive pop vocal into a deep, techy framework, guaranteed to elicit a collective swoon. 'Soul Mass Transit System - Wine VIP' is a 23-minute deep house epic, all liquid bass and hypnotic percussion that forms the set's meditative core.
The closer 'Aloka - K2' is a driving, melodic techno gem that provides a powerful, optimistic finale. Starting with the infectious bounce of 'Bakey - JB Riddim', building to a emotional peak with the soaring vocals of the Sychosis remix, and closing with the driving melody of 'Aloka - K2', this live set is a masterclass in feel-good, deeply musical house music.
