Live at Anjunadeep at The Gorge (Full 4K Ultra HD Set) #ABGT250
We’ve all been that person, shivering in a hoodie at sunrise, utterly wrecked but refusing to leave because the melodic progression is just too beautiful. Jody Wisternoff and James Grant’s Anjunadeep set at The Gorge is the audio equivalent of that feeling, a sprawling journey of progressive house designed for vast landscapes and even vaster emotions. The backdrop of that iconic cliff face isn’t just scenery; it’s a character in this 4K Ultra HD narrative.
Averaging 122.8 BPM, the set is a masterclass in harmonic mixing, predominantly winding through the melancholic warmth of 3B and 5A keys to craft a seamless, heartstring-tugging flow. The balance is exquisite, with melodic mid-ranges perfectly counterpointed by deep, undulating basslines that feel physical in the open air. The dig here is deep: Marcel Aquila’s ‘Lockdown’ offers hypnotic, driving momentum, while Gareth Stirling’s ‘Wallop’ and Marc Marzenit’s ‘Perron (Wehbba Remix)’ inject percussive tech-house grit.
The surprise pivot into a tasteful, soaring edit of David Guetta’s ‘Without You’ is a genius crowd-leveller, and Kora (CA)’s ‘Nous’ is pure, shimmering deep house gold. It begins in the ether with an unknown opener, peaks with the tribal pulse of Gallago’s ‘Lost Signal’, and concludes, nine minutes of bliss later, with their own transcendent remix of Xinobi’s ‘Far Away Place’.
