My Friend
Live from the Anjunakitchen (Melodic and Progressive House Mix)
There is a very specific type of chaos that occurs when you try to host a deeply emotional house set while your cat stares at you from on top of the fridge. The My Friend Live from the Anjunakitchen tracklist perfectly captures the domestic rave era, where the spiritual experience merchants were forced to find enlightenment between the toaster and the sink. It is a proper laugh watching world-class DJs trying to look brooding and mysterious while clearly worrying if the oven timer is about to go off. The vibe is brilliantly cosy, bathing lush Rominimal textures in the warm, unforgiving light of a kitchen extractor fan.
On a technical level, this My Friend live set is an absolute masterclass in progressive house flow. Cruising effortlessly at a locked 125.0 BPM, the duo weaves through a 12A to 9B Camelot key progression, crafting an energy arc that is as smooth as a freshly wiped countertop. Their mixing style is incredibly patient, using long, rolling blends to keep the domestic dancefloor moving. The crate digger selections are absolutely sorted, pulling classic vocal house alongside deep underground cuts.
Dropping Nick Curly's 'Underground' in the Dennis Ferrer remix is a stroke of pure warehouse genius, while Sweely's 'Around' adds a cheeky minimal bounce. The kitchen journey kicks off with the opening track 'The Calm' by MyFriend, setting a beautifully lush tone. It peaks warmly before the closing track 'CAFé CON RON' by Bad Bunny brings the Live from the Anjunakitchen session to a wildly unexpected finish.
