Cornelius SA - DJ Set
Rooftop gigs are brilliant until you realize half the crowd is just there for golden hour selfies. The spiritual experience merchants are out in force, gazing thoughtfully at the horizon like they have just solved world peace through deep house. The vibe is warm, golden-hour radiance melting perfectly into a deep, sophisticated twilight groove.
This Cornelius SA live set is a perfectly flat 120 BPM. Navigating through 3B and 7A, Cornelius keeps it smooth and melodic, with the energy sitting as a balanced Rominimal dream. The Cornelius SA Summit Rooftop Menlyn tracklist is pure class.
'Nu - Who Loves the Sun' is peak sunset fodder, while 'A'Studio - Sos' with the Nic Fanciulli edit is a massive, emotive crowd-pleaser. The journey is beautifully constructed. The opening track 'Leaving Laurel - sometimes it’s scary' sets a poignant mood, peaking with Solomun's epic remix of Foals' 'Late Night', before the closing track 'Nils Hoffmann - Once in a Blue Moon' brings the evening home perfectly.
