ANDREAS HENNEBERG in The Lab LA
Andreas Henneberg’s session in The Lab LA is the sonic equivalent of a expertly crafted cocktail: strong, sweet, and designed for maximum fun. Forget the mislabeled genre; this is peak-time tech house with a glossy, progressive sheen, built for big rooms and bigger smiles. The LA studio setting likely hums with the energy of a festival warm-up, all crisp visuals and anticipatory energy.
On a technical level, Henneberg drives a punchy 124.4 BPM average, predominantly in the 12A key, with forays into 3B for darker textures. The energy balance—lows at 0.70, mids at 0.24—creates a powerful, driving foundation punctuated by sharp melodic hooks and vocal samples. His mixing is dynamic and crowd-pleasing, using the wide BPM range (from 122 to 171) to create dramatic peaks and valleys, though the core is relentlessly groove-focused.
The crate digging highlights are plentiful: the disco-tinged opener 'Cumbiano' by Crazibiza sets a jubilant tone, while Blacktee's 'Crystalline City (Consoless Remix)' offers a moment of sleek, modern techno tension. The massive drop into Calvin Harris & Disciples' 'How Deep Is Your Love (Disciples & Unorthodox Remix)' is a certified weapon, and Township Rebellion's 'Ramses' provides a deeper, hypnotic interlude. The set builds from that playful start, reaches its euphoric summit with the anthemic 'How Deep Is Your Love,' and concludes on the driving, minimal pulse of James Dexter's '93.'.
