Jody Wisternoff - Anjunadeep 05 CD2
Jody Wisternoff’s 'Anjunadeep 05 CD2' mix is a time capsule from the deep house golden era, for those of us who still judge a set by its emotional resonance over sheer force. The vibe is a late-night living room session turned communal, warm and introspective. Running at an average 123 BPM, the harmonic journey is masterful, heavily favoring the melancholic yet hopeful 12A key, with shifts to 7B and 5A for depth.
The energy profile is beautifully balanced: a solid low-end (0.53) drives the groove, rich mid-range pads and melodies (0.40) provide the heart, and delicate high-end accents (0.06) add sparkle. Wisternoff’s mixing is the definition of deep house craftsmanship—smooth, mood-setting, and impeccably programmed. Crate-digging highlights are plentiful: the opening 'Ich Lass´ Dich Nicht Zurück' remix is a haunting, vocal-led gem; Eli & Fur’s 'Parfume (Dosem Remix)' is a sleek, atmospheric weapon; Epic Hunters’ 'Boy Boy' appears again as a driving, emotive pivot.
The reshapes of 'Be Mine' showcase Jody’s transformative touch, and Skanna & Wisternoff’s 'This Way' is a classic, bass-heavy roller. The set opens with the wistful remix, builds through the melodic tension of tracks like 'Parfume', and closes on the serene, ambient expanse of Johannes Volk’s 'Illusion of Time'.
