anu

anu's set for the Keep Hush Live Tash LC Takeover is a glorious mess of global influences, the kind where you're equally likely to hear vintage synth-pop as you are Peruvian cumbia. We're all squinting at the screen, trying to decipher tracklists in real-time, and loving the confusion. The vibe is intimate and exploratory, a late-night session where every transition feels like flipping through a wildly eclectic record collection. This is a masterclass in global bass and left-field electronica.

With an average BPM of 134 and a strong presence in the versatile 12A key (four times), anu crafts a soundscape where the low-end energy at 0.50 provides a steady pulse, while the rich mid-range at 0.42 carries melodic and vocal complexity. High-end touches at 0.08 are used sparingly for texture. The mixing is fluid and musical, often letting tracks play out to showcase their unique character. The crate digging here is exceptional.

Opening with The Future/Human League's 'King Of Kings' sets a dramatic, retro-futurist tone. Iktan Krauth's 'The Girl Of Her Luck' is a hypnotic, percussive deep cut, while Novalima's 'Machete' is a modern Latin electronic banger. Princess Nokia's 'Versace Hottie' brings raw hip-hop energy, and Cooly G's 'Nocturnal' is a foundational UK bass gem. The journey begins with the synth-pop grandeur of 'King Of Kings,' builds through a web of global rhythms and rap, and concludes with the infectious, dancefloor-ready pulse of 'Machete.'.
