Live at Anjunadeep x Printworks London 2022 (@eliandfur)
Ah, Printworks—the only club in the world where the venue itself is more famous than half the DJs who play there. It’s an absolute cathedral for techno tourists who spend 80% of the gig holding up their phones, trying to capture the laser show perfectly for their TikToks while standing completely still. The legendary, cavernous press halls of Anjunadeep x Printworks London 2022 are bathed in iconic, slicing light beams and a thick layer of fog. The Eli & Fur | Live at Anjunadeep x Printworks London 2022 tracklist is perfectly calibrated for this colossal industrial space.
Operating at a steady 125.0 BPM, this Eli & Fur live set delivers a masterclass in Rominimal tension, dominating the 3B and 12A keys. Pushing a massive 62% low-end energy, they use long, sultry blends to let the basslines completely envelop the narrow, echoing room. Their track selection is a brilliant mix of deep cuts and massive vocal anthems. The Eli & Fur Remix of Shouse's "Won't Forget You" is a masterstroke that gets the whole room singing.
Slipping in Zimmz's "Pragmatic" provides a proper techno thump, while the Extended Mix of Tinlicker & Robert Miles’s "Children" is an emotional nuke. The arc is properly sorted from start to finish. AMÉMÉ's "Balafonerra" sets a beautifully percussive tone as the opening track. The Themba Extended Mix of their own "Walk the Line" creates absolute scenes in the middle, perfectly setting up the sultry, dark finale with the closing track, "Temptation (Eli & Fur Midnight Mix)".
