Keep Hush Live London: More Cowbell Takeover
Nothing says 'More Cowbell Takeover' like the sight of two DJs gleefully threading a path between prog-house nostalgia and peak-time tech-house weaponry. Eich b2b Ema understand the assignment: this is for the heads who still get misty-eyed at a Chris Fortier dub. The Keep Hush Live London space is dimly lit and packed, the perfect canvas for their throwback-tinged journey. Technically, they navigate a 132.1 BPM average, with the 12A key appearing nine times, providing a stable, driving foundation. The energy is masterfully balanced—a high focus on low-end warmth (66%) allows for melodic elements to shine without sacrificing dancefloor momentum.
Their mixing is smooth and harmonic, using key modulations like shifts into 3B to introduce tension before resolving back to the core groove. The tracklist for this DJ set is a delightfully eclectic dig. Opening with the timeless depth of 'Fade - All I Got (Chris Fortier 20yr Dub)' sets a thoughtful tone. Then, the curveballs: 'Gigi D'Agostino - Star' and 'Bla Bla Bla' are deployed not as jokes, but as genuine, euphoric peak-time tools. 'KETTAMA - Memphis 29' brings a raw, contemporary edge, while 'Randomer - Get Yourself Together' offers a dose of percussive, industrial funk.
'Mark Henning - Trojan' and 'Cassius Select - Hype Hour' further showcase their range across tech-house and leftfield electronics. The journey builds from the deep house opener, finds its hands-in-the-air moment with the Gigi D'Agostino cuts, and winds down with the driving closure of 'Marq - The Wicked / The Divine'. A tech-house masterclass with a heart of gold.
