Anyasa - DJ Set
Goa ravers are an entirely different breed of partygoer. They are the trustafarians covered in UV paint and faded tribal tattoos, fully convinced they have unlocked the ancient secrets of the universe simply by standing near a massive subwoofer. They are absolutely having a laugh, aggressively twirling fire poi while you are just trying to get a drink, but their energy guarantees absolute scenes. The vibe at Once Upon A Time Goa is deeply spiritual and heavily saturated with incense, dust, and thumping bass.
Exploring the Anyasa Once Upon A Time Goa tracklist reveals why this Anyasa live set is a captivating display of Rominimal and melodic house. Cruising at an average of 122.5 BPM, the technical execution is incredibly sharp. He weaves effortlessly through the 12A and 3B keys, maintaining a perfectly balanced energy arc that equal parts drives the low-end and soars through the mid-range. His crate-digging is totally sorted, combining deep ethnic grooves with massive club anthems.
Dropping the Trentemøller remix of 'Moan' is a mad, sprawling highlight that completely shifts the atmosphere, while sliding in 'You Take My Hand' by Tinlicker guarantees a massive emotional release from the crowd. The sonic journey is perfectly mapped to the mystical surroundings. Setting a deeply emotive, vocal tone with the opening track 'Give Me A Reason (Edit)' by Joseph Ray, he slowly builds a massive tribal rhythm. Finally, he brings the jungle rave to a dark, driving finish with the closing track 'Fugitive' by The Element MT & Lyke.
