Anjunadeep 13 - Mixed By Jody Wisternoff & James Grant
Ah, the "spiritual experience" merchants have descended upon Montenegro, armed with linen shirts and a profound sense of self-importance. Watching techno tourists try to find themselves while holding a lukewarm spritz is absolute scenes. The sun dips over Lake Skadar, painting the water in gold as a gentle breeze cuts through the Anjunadeep faithful. This Rominimal set sits at a proper 125.4 BPM, weaving heavily through 3B, 12A, and 8B keys.
Jody and James build a masterful energy arc, keeping the low-end rumbling at an average of 0.5093 while the mids stay tight. Their mixing style is butter-smooth, meant for the long haul rather than quick dopamine hits. The Jody Wisternoff & James Grant Lake Skadar tracklist is a goldmine for the crate diggers, featuring absolute gems like "Eldur" by Bjasic Food. Throwing in Cubicolor's "Summer & Smoke" proves they're not just having a laugh with the selections.
The Jody Wisternoff & James Grant live set opens with an enigmatic "Unknown - Unknown" opening track before stretching out over the horizon. A massive highlight is the sweeping "SpaceTime" by Braxton, Jody Wisternoff & James Grant, eventually bringing it all home with the closing track "Freak Out (Original Club Mix)" by Supadelics.
