Anjunadeep 12 - CD1 Mixed by James Grant & Jody Wisternoff - Continuous Mix
Curating an Anjunadeep compilation is like being handed the keys to the kingdom of feels. James Grant and Jody Wisternoff on CD1 duty means we're in for a journey that starts at a whisper and ends at a restrained, melodic sob, because emotional stability is overrated. This is a living room sunrise set, perfect for when the party has wound down but no one wants to go home just yet.
The BPM gently climbs from 100 to 129, averaging 118.7, with the 12A key providing a harmonic backbone. The energy arc is a classic slow build, moving from ambient pads to propulsive deep house grooves, mixed with the label's signature fluidity and attention to melodic detail. The inclusion of 'Lakou Mizik & Joseph Ray - Ogou (Pran Ka Mwen)' is a brilliant left-field pick, adding organic percussion and soul.
PBSR's 'Niebla' is a cloud of melancholic beauty, and Lycoriscoris' 'Yume' is pure atmospheric bliss. It opens with the new-age calm of 'Mind Body Method', patiently unfolds through gems like Hosini's 'Froozen', and concludes with the soaring, mixed version of Grant and Wisternoff's own 'Magma'.
