Guti live set in The Lab: Home Sessions
Guti's Home Sessions set is a reminder that proper house music doesn't need gimmicks, just a locked groove, a killer bassline, and the confidence to let a track play out for nineteen minutes if it feels right. The vibe is intimate and heads-down, the kind of session where you lose track of time because the rhythm section has you in a vice grip. This is a masterclass in timeless, groove-centric house, perfectly gridlocked at 125 BPM and harmonically steadfast in the dancefloor-friendly 12A key for the majority, with strategic shifts to 3B for added depth.
The energy is perfectly balanced—a solid low-end foundation, crisp mid-range percussion, and just enough high-end sparkle to keep it lively—allowing each element in the mix to shine. Guti's live touch is evident in the subtle tweaks and builds, giving a track like 'Phebo & Mazzocchi - Candela' a raw, organic feel. The tracklist is a connoisseur's selection of modern house: the classic piano-house revival of 'Deep Zone - It's Gonna Be Alright', the swinging tech-house of Biscits' 'Wait A Minute', and the raw, percussive drive of 'Paul C & Paolo Martini - Klong' in its Chapman & Apollo 84 remix.
A standout is the soulful, bumping groove of 'nocapz. & Marian (BR) - Midnight Thoughts', a deep cut that deserves more plays. He opens with the uplifting promise of 'Deep Zone - It's Gonna Be Alright', builds momentum with the infectious swing of 'LEON (Italy) & Shaf Huse - Can't Truss', and closes with the epic, rolling minimalism of Rebūke's 'The Pipe', a marathon track that leaves us wanting more.
