EXIST
Nothing brings out the chin-strokers quite like a soulful DJ set. You know the type: nodding sagely by the monitor, drinking room-temperature water, pretending they knew the sample before the track even dropped. Proper music snobs having a laugh. The vibe in the DJ Lab is intimate and head-nodding, with a warm, analog energy radiating through the room.
This EXIST live set cruises at a steady 122.3 BPM. The mix leans on 12A and 3B keys, with massive mid-range energy as Atjazz and Karizma deliver a masterclass in Rominimal groove. The EXIST Mixmag's DJ Lab tracklist is sorted. 'Rhythm & Sound - Mango Drive' clocking in at nearly twelve minutes is a serious deep cut for the purists, while 'Karizma - Bounce B*' brings the essential heat.
The journey is joyous from start to finish. The opening track 'Michael Jackson - Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'' kicks off the party instantly, the set peaks with the infectious rhythm of 'G.Q. - Disco Nights', and the closing track 'Michael Jackson - Rock With You' seals the deal with pure class.
