HANA b2b Nicky Elisabeth b2b Qrion Poolside Sessions
Anjunadeep Explorations 2024 (Deep House Set)
A three-way b2b poolside session at Anjunadeep Explorations is the ultimate test of DJ synergy, and HANA, Nicky Elisabeth, and Qrion pass with flying colors, delivering a marathon deep house journey that’s as sun-kissed as it is subtly powerful. This is the sound of a perfect holiday, where the groove is constant and the vibes are immaculate. The atmosphere is buoyant and communal, with the poolside setting encouraging a lighter, airier touch within a firmly four-to-the-floor framework.
Technically, the trio maintains a steady average BPM of 124 across a staggering 110 tracks, showcasing a clear preference for the bright, energetic 12A key, expertly balanced with the deeper, more driving 10B. The energy profile is a model of deep house equilibrium: a solid, warm low-end, expressive melodic and harmonic content in the mids, and just enough high-end sparkle to keep things shimmering. The track selection is a global deep house tour de force: Khen’s 'Babylon' is an instantly recognisable melodic weapon, Sounom & Sagou’s 'Everyday Moments' remix is a smooth, emotive builder, Aaron H-Smith’s 'Satara' gets a groovy, percussive remake from Juanito, and Mihai Popoviciu’s 'The Swindle' is a sleek, minimal-tech inflected cut.
The epic session opens with the cosmic curiosity of Passarani’s 'Universale', weaves through hours of nuanced grooves, and finally docks at the jazzy, laid-back finale of Joey Harmless’s 'So Shady'.
