Anjunadeep Open Air: Seattle at Gas Works Park (Official 4K Set)
You really have to admire the Anjunadeep crowd, a highly specific breed of 'spiritual experience' merchants who will literally hug a tree while crying to a lush melodic breakdown. The park is full of people holding up their phone torches in broad daylight, desperately trying to capture the exact moment they supposedly found themselves. Set against the rusted, steampunk-esque industrial ruins of Gas Works Park, the gorgeous Seattle sunset provides a perfectly cinematic backdrop for the tearjerkers. Anyone paying attention to this Marsh live set will recognize it as a masterclass in emotional engineering.
Cruising smoothly at a 126 BPM average, he relies deeply on 12A and 3A key progressions to keep the Techno and progressive house utterly euphoric. The mixing is impeccably smooth, featuring long, drawn-out blends that create a beautifully sustained, floating energy arc. Delving into the Marsh Gas Works Park tracklist reveals a DJ who knows exactly how to manipulate heartstrings. He brilliantly sneaks in Blaze & Bicep - Lovelee Dae (Bicep Remix), a proper nostalgic groover that gets the entire park sorted.
The feelings start flowing immediately with the opening track, Marsh - Floodlights (Abgt584) [Mixed]. The undeniable highlight is the massive reaction to Above & Beyond - Love Is Not Enough (feat. Zoë Johnston) [Newman (I Love) Remix], which causes absolute scenes, before he gracefully lands the plane with the closing track, Nox Vahn & Marsh - Come Together.
