Romain Garcia (Live)
Anjunadeep Open Air: Mexico City at #ABGT600 (Official Set) @iamromaingarcia
You have to laugh at the Instagram posers with their culturally appropriated bead necklaces, swaying off-beat and pretending a mid-tempo kick drum is a shamanic awakening. We get it, Tarquin, you went to Tulum once. The sun-kissed, hazy euphoria at Anjunadeep Open Air: Mexico City is truly a sight to behold. Glancing over the Romain Garcia Anjunadeep Open Air: Mexico City tracklist, you find a beautifully sequenced Rominimal masterclass.
Kept on a tight leash at exactly 125 BPM throughout, it is all about the subtle shifts. The harmonic journey glides heavily between 8B and 4A keys, delivering a warm, low-energy embrace that keeps the crowd floating. This Romain Garcia live set is brimming with tasteful selections. Qubiko's 'Every Night' injects a lovely bit of groove, while OFFAIAH's 'Trouble' brings a slightly deeper, club-ready edge to the sunshine.
The narrative arc is gorgeous. Welcoming the crowd, the opening track 'Kako' sets an incredibly lush foundation. The undisputed peak of the afternoon arrives with the gorgeous swells of 'Third Time', a collaborative effort with Douran. Gently bringing us back to reality, the closing track 'Next To You' leaves the Mexico City massive thoroughly sorted and begging for more.
