Monkey Safari - DJ Set
Behold the Burners who haven't stopped talking about the playa since 2018, dusting off their captain hats and vintage goggles for a night out. The 'spiritual experience' merchants are out in full force, waving their hands like they're conducting an invisible orchestra. Thankfully, the Monkey Safari DJ Set tracklist is a proper groove that saves us all from the posers. The vibe across this DJ Set is pure, unadulterated joy, a warm and melodic atmosphere that forces even the chin-strokers to smile.
Technically, this Monkey Safari live set is a masterclass in restraint, locked into a breezy 120-122 BPM. Flowing effortlessly through 12A and 5A keys, the Rominimal energy arc is sunny and uplifting, built on long, sweeping transitions. The crate digger selections are absolute crowd-pleasers. They drop a brilliant remix of Nils Hoffmann;Ben Böhmer - Second Sun, and cause absolute scenes when the unmistakable chords of Frankie Knuckles - Your Love ring out.
The journey is perfectly uplifting. Setting a beautiful tone with the opening track Dapayk;Monkey Safari;Vars - Follow the Light (Monkey Safari Remix), the set peaks with the massive 9-minute Monkey Safari - Safe. Bringing it all home, the closing track Boris Brejcha - I Want You (feat. Ginger) leaves everyone completely sorted.
