Anjunadeep 15 - Mixed By Jody Wisternoff & James Grant
You have to laugh at the folks having a full-blown spiritual experience in their living rooms via a 4K YouTube stream, pretending they are shivering in Iceland instead of sitting on a sofa in Hackney. It is the ultimate scenic flex for the melodic house connoisseurs. The glacial, majestic backdrop perfectly frames this sunset session, radiating a cool but comforting energy.
On the technical side, this Jody Wisternoff & James Grant live set averages 126.5 BPM, weaving intricately through 12A and 5A keys to sculpt a sprawling, emotive Rominimal landscape. The mixing is flawless, an effortless masterclass in slow-building euphoric tension. Scanning the Jody Wisternoff & James Grant Anjunadeep 15 tracklist is like reading a love letter to deep house.
Dropping their own 'Mui' alongside Siobhan Wilson is pure class, while Julian Wassermann's 'Sol' provides a beautifully dark counterpoint. The journey takes flight with the stunning opening track 'Your Love (Jody Wisternoff & James Grant Remix)' by Parallel Voices, absolutely soars during the Kasablanca & anamē epic 'Daydream', and gently fades into the twilight with the closing track 'Happiness' by Omfeel. Proper gorgeous, that.
