The Anjunadeep Edition 485 with Jon Gurd and Reset Robot
The promise of a back-to-back from Jon Gurd and Reset Robot on The Anjunadeep Edition has us leaning in, ready for some proper, heads-down tech house with an intelligent edge. This is the sound of a sleek, dark room where the focus is on intricate percussion and sub-bass pressure. They command a firm 127 BPM average, navigating between the driving key of 7A and the more complex 10A and 11B, creating a hypnotic, slightly ominous progression. The energy is masterfully skewed: 68% low-end ensures a physical, gut-punch groove, 29% mids handle the rhythmic complexity, and only 3% highs add subtle texture, making for a deeply immersive, almost tribal experience.
Their mixing is precise and layered, often letting tracks like Circulation’s 20-minute 'Mauve' morph and evolve. The Wehbba Remix of Marc Marzenit’s 'Perron' is a brutal, industrial-tinged opener that sets a serious tone. Dutch House Mouse’s 'Boom' is a cheeky, sample-heavy weapon that breaks the tension perfectly. Their own collab 'Takerimba' is a rolling, percussive monster built for peak-time sweat.
Jimpster’s 'Eel Pie Island' provides a deeper, jazzy finale, showcasing their range. The journey kicks off with the mechanical thump of 'Perron', delves into the psychedelic depths of 'Mauve', and winds down with the organic warmth of 'Eel Pie Island', a masterclass in dynamic programming.
