Ben Böhmer |
Live at Anjunadeep x Printworks London 2019 (Official HD Set)
Cue the Printworks nostalgia merchants, spending the entire gig filming the ceiling lasers instead of actually dancing. Put the phone down, mate, your Instagram story isn't capturing the bass. The cavernous, industrial vibe at Printworks London is absolutely legendary, a concrete cathedral of sound. Looking at the Ben Böhmer Printworks London tracklist, the Rominimal soundscape hums at a steady 123.1 BPM.
This Ben Böhmer live set is an emotional rollercoaster, heavily using 12A and 5A keys to create a soaring, melodic energy arc that has grown men weeping into their Red Stripes. The crate digger moments here are wonderfully curated. Blending his own massive anthems with a sneaky drop of Blaze’s classic 'Lovelee Dae' shows a proper understanding of house history. The journey is impeccably structured from the very first beat.
He sets the cinematic tone with the opening track, 'Ben Böhmer - In Memoriam', sending shivers down the spine. The absolute peak hits during the Monolink collaboration 'Black Hole', before the room completely erupts for the closing track, the stunning 'Ben Böhmer - Wall of Strings'.
