ANDRÉS funk & soul set in The Lab LDN
In a world obsessed with peak-time drops, there's a special kind of bravery in a set that makes you slow down, lean back, and just feel the music. ANDRÉS' funk & soul set in The Lab LDN is that necessary palate cleanser. The vibe is intimate, late-night, and deeply musical—the sonic equivalent of digging through crates in a backroom while the main room blares. Technically, it's a masterful exercise in flow over a wider BPM range, averaging 111.4 and anchored in the warm, rich tones of key 3B.
The energy is overwhelmingly low-end focused (0.7057), creating a lush, bass-heavy bed for smooth vocals and live instrumentation to float over, with minimal mid (0.2839) and almost no high-end interference (0.0096). Transitions are buttery and narrative-driven, using key shifts to 12A and 4B to move from soulful ballads to funkier jams. The crate digging here is impeccable. He sets the tone with the hip-hop infused scratch session of 'Cut Killer Show - Jazzy Jeff'.
Eric Roberson's 'Rock With You' is pure, unadulterated soulful house bliss. Amy Winehouse's 'In My Bed' gets an extended, definitive run, its live-band swing feeling utterly timeless. A deep cut like Travis Biggs' 'After the Storm' showcases his eye for jazzy, instrumental gems. The journey starts with that hip-hop scratch, winds through neo-soul and vintage funk with tracks like Michael Henderson's '(We Are Here to) Geek You Up', finds its emotional core in the Winehouse epic, and sends us off nodding to the jazzy cool of Guru's 'Certified'.
