High Class Filter, Andre Amor, Dr Nick & Ariddim DJ sets // Keep Hush live
A back-to-back-to-back-to-back can either be a glorious mess or a curated journey, and this Keep Hush live session with High Class Filter, Andre Amor, Dr Nick & Ariddim firmly lands in the latter camp. It’s a warm, soulful odyssey through deep house and UK garage, the kind of set that feels like a friendly argument between DJs who truly love the craft. The vibe is akin to a perfect, smoky backroom, all shoulder-swaying grooves and knowing smiles. Locking into a cozy 130.5 BPM pocket, the mix predominantly lives in the lush, inviting territory of the 12A key, with detours into 7A’s earthy warmth.
The energy is deep and swinging, with a pronounced, comforting low-end, jazzy mid-range chords, and crisp, shuffling high-hats. The mixing across the four selectors is consistently smooth and harmonic, prioritizing mood and musicality over pyrotechnics. The shared record bag is impeccable: Stereoheadz’s 'DJs Make You Move' is a classic, sample-heavy house opener. Maurizio Palmacci’s 'Robot' offers quirky, melodic charm, and Jamie George’s 'Myth vs.
Wonderful Day' is a soaring, piano-led epic. Pablo Carrasco’s 'VIBRADO' brings a touch of driving, percussive tech-house, while the inclusion of Jeremih’s 'Birthday Sex (Up-Tempo)' is a brilliantly cheeky curveball. The journey starts with a house music manifesto, glides through soulful moments and driving grooves, and lands on the timeless, bumping rearrangement of Karizma’s 'God Made Me Phunky' for a flawless, funky farewell.
