CODY CURRIE jazzy house & disco set in The Lab LDN
Cody Currie's 'jazzy house & disco' set in The Lab LDN is like finding a rare vinyl stack in a thrift store—all warm horns, swinging basslines, and pure, unadulterated joy that makes you want to dance in socks on a wooden floor. The vibe is effortlessly cool, a soundtrack for sun-drenched afternoons and smoky backroom bars. Technically, this is a lesson in groove-centric house: holding steady at 125.4 BPM, the set is harmonically locked into the 12A key, ensuring every live bassline and Rhodes chord sits perfectly in the pocket. The energy is decisively low-end driven (0.63 average), giving the music a physical, foot-tapping weight that's impossible to resist. The mixing is smooth and musical, letting the tracks' organic elements shine.
The crate digging is a soulful delight. Javonntte's 'Aquarius Swing' is a flawless, vibey opener that sets the jazzy tone. House Victimz & Kaleido's 'Uthando' is a gorgeous, South African-tinged deep house cut, while Scan 7's 'Sunday on Saturday' brings a touch of Detroit techno soul. Bryan Matthz's 'Fly Over the Woods' is a hidden gem of atmospheric funk, and The Alexis P. Suter Band's 'Hole That I'm In' is a powerful, bluesy interlude.
Aaron H-Smith's 'Satara (Juanito Remix)' offers a more contemporary, percussive twist. The journey is a smooth ride: beginning with the lazy swing of 'Aquarius Swing', it builds through the soulful peaks of 'Uthando' and the Steal Vybe & Peven Everett collaboration, and concludes with the undeniable, Peven Everett-fronted classic, Stacy Kidd's 'How Bad I Want Ya'. A jazzy house set that feels like a warm hug.
