Urbi
Keep Hush X Berghaus Presents: Off Sight Manchester
Urbi’s set for Keep Hush X Berghaus’s Off Sight in Manchester is a testament to the power of a well-crafted house journey. Clocking in at 34 tracks with a BPM range that stretches from 128 to 171 (though averaging a comfortable 132.1), this is a set that refuses to be pigeonholed. The venue was a converted industrial space with exposed brick and a disco ball that caught the light in just the right way—classic Manchester warehouse energy. The harmonic foundation is solidly 12A (sixteen tracks), with detours into 7A and 3B, giving the mix a cohesive but exploratory feel.
The energy profile is heavily low-end dominated at 0.89 average—this is a set that lives in the kick drum and bassline, with mids and highs used sparingly to let the vocals and melodies breathe. The opening track, Endor’s ‘Pump It Up’, is a cheeky, funk-infused house track that immediately sets a playful tone. From there, Urbi weaves through Jan Blomqvist’s ‘The Space in Between (Ben Böhmer Remix)’—a melodic techno standout that brings a touch of introspection—before dropping into Jax Jones & MNEK’s ‘Where Did You Go?’, a pop-house crossover that somehow doesn’t feel out of place. The crate digger’s highlights include Oden & Fatzo & Camden Cox’s ‘Lady Love’, a deep house gem with a silky vocal, and Henry Effe’s ‘Experiment 001 (Larix Remix)’, a minimal tech-house workout that strips things back to the essentials.
The peak arrives with Au/Ra & CamelPhat’s ‘Panic Room’, a moody, atmospheric track that builds tension masterfully, and the set closes with Robin S.’s ‘Show Me Love’—an absolute classic that sends the crowd home happy. This is a set for those who love their house music with a side of genuine emotional range.
