Live at Anjunadeep pres. Explorations 2023 (4K) (@DuranteMusic )
Cue the Ibiza veterans complaining loudly that it's not like 1999 anymore while paying €20 for a Piña Colada. They're wearing unbuttoned floral shirts and aggressively reminiscing about Space, all while actually having a massive bop to the music. You have to respect their dedication to the hustle, even if they won't stop talking over the breakdowns. Crystal clear water ripples under the Mediterranean sun as beautiful people lounge and sway at this Anjunadeep pres. Explorations 2023 pool party. Perfect for the daytime heat, this Durante live set is a masterclass in Rominimal and progressive house.
Averaging a groovy 124.8 BPM, he utilizes a complex web of 3B, 7A, and 5A keys to keep the mood uplifted and melodic. The energy sits perfectly in the low-end pocket, driving the groove without overpowering the social vibe. The mixing is incredibly slick, transitioning seamlessly across 64 tracks with bright, sunny EQing. The Durante Anjunadeep pres. Explorations 2023 tracklist is a brilliant mix of deep grooves and cheeky anthems. He drops Slam's RTM Remix of Paperclip People's "Throw" alongside Amtrac & Durante's own "Contrast".
Hearing Shouse's "Love Tonight" echo across the pool is absolute scenes, uniting the entire crowd. This set is a sun-drenched masterclass in pacing. He sets a sophisticated mood with the opening track "Bunker (Jay Hill's Dreamy Tech Remix)" by Allies for Everyone. The massive peak arrives with Eric Kupper's remix of "Strobe Queen", before signing off with an instrumental closing track, Sebastian Ingrosso & Tommy Trash's "Reload".
