I. Jordan

A Keep Hush Live session for the Local Action label is basically a guarantee of forward-thinking UK bass, and I. Jordan's set delivers a masterclass in deep, physical house and techno. The vibe is serious but not solemn, a dedicated space where every detail in the low-end is treated with reverence. This is a house and techno journey with a steady, four-to-the-floor pulse averaging 134.9 BPM, weaving through keys like 2A and 12A to create a subtly shifting, hypnotic landscape.

The energy is profoundly low-dominant at 69%, with a surprising 16% spike in the high-end—likely from the acid lines and percussion—that adds sharpness to the thick atmospheric fog. I. Jordan's mixing is patient and layered, building tension through texture and space, with harmonic transitions that feel like natural shifts in the room's pressure. The selections are impeccable: Ramirez's 'La Musika Tremenda (Yves Deruyter Remix)' opens with a tough, trance-tinged techno thrust.

DJ Slugo's 'A Blunt' is a 22-minute deep house epic that showcases the power of a locked groove, and Riordan & A+'s 'Party Out (Extended)' provides a driving, melodic finale. This is a set for the dancers, not the Shazammers, and it travels from the driving opener, through the deep, smoky heart of 'A Blunt', and out onto the driving plateau of 'Party Out'.
