#AnjunaUnlocked: Durante & HANA ‘13 Voices EP’ Minecraft Release Party
Only in the era of lockdown could an EP release party happen inside a pixelated universe, but for those of us who showed up, the quest for the perfect melodic house tracklist was as real as any IRL sweat. The vibe was a charmingly glitchy sanctuary, all blocky horizons and synthetic sunsets where the emotional payload landed with uncanny precision. Technically, this Durante & HANA live set is a lesson in sustained, melancholic pressure, cruising at a steady 125 BPM and deeply rooted in the somber, introspective mood of key 3B. Harmonic pivots to 12A introduce just enough light, while the overwhelmingly low-energy profile (0.79 average) tells you everything about its deep, rolling, bass-first philosophy.
The mixing is patient and textural, building worlds rather than just stacking tracks, with the mid-range reserved for those heartbreaking piano lines and vocal whispers. As crate diggers, we must salute the opener 'Bag Raiders - Shooting Stars,' a meme-turned-ambient weapon that instantly owns the room. 'Jerro - Tunnel Vision (Durante Remix)' is the undeniable heart of the set, a modern deep house anthem built for communal feels. 'Sahar Z - Zikaron' is a hypnotic, percussive deep cut that shows their ear for groove, while 'Guy J - Day of Light' is a timeless progressive house reference that grounds the flight.
Don't sleep on 'Wanderson XVR - Clocks' for its driving, extended momentum, or the leftfield beauty of the 'Jam & Spoon - Right in the Night' remix. The journey is beautifully clear: from the iconic arpeggio of 'Shooting Stars,' ascending through the crescendo of 'Tunnel Vision,' and finally dissolving into the serene pads of Ben Böhmer's 'Begin Again.'.
