Anjunadeep Open Air: London at The Drumsheds (Official 4K Set)
Ah, The Drumsheds, where people who complain about the Jubilee line on weekdays come to pretend they're hardcore warehouse ravers on weekends. You can always spot the bloke who thinks a bucket hat and a cross-body bag make him a techno purist. Vast concrete pillars are bathed in strobing white light as the massive hangar reverberates with lush, melancholic synth lines. This Rominimal set locks into a steady 124.6 BPM, heavily utilizing 10B, 12A, and 9B keys.
The frequency balance is beautiful, with a solid 0.5453 low-end supporting the expansive mids. Tinlicker's mixing style is patient, layering intricate melodies over rolling basslines to build an emotional, hands-in-the-air energy arc. The Tinlicker The Drumsheds tracklist is properly sorted for the heads. Dropping Syncom Data's "Ekstasis" is a masterstroke, and their rework of Robert Miles' "Children" is an absolute tearjerker.
The Tinlicker live set starts with an atmospheric "Unknown - Unknown" opening track. The crowd completely loses it during the euphoric Eric Prydz classic "Pjanoo (Club Mix)", before things take a cheeky old-school turn with the closing track "Let Me Be Your Fantasy (Trick Or Treat Remix)" by Baby D.
