Point G in The Lab Paris
Point G in The Lab Paris begins with 'Show Me Love', and frankly, we should all be grateful—after the week we've had, we deserve a warm, disco-tinged hug from a master of house music. This isn't a set for staring at your shoes; it's for that moment you catch a stranger's eye and share a silent, joyous nod over a piano riff. The vibe is intimate, soulful, and drenched in the kind of analogue warmth that makes a concrete room feel like a plush basement party. Technically, this is deep, vocal house with disco roots, moving at a steady 126 BPM average and overwhelmingly set in the comforting embrace of the 12A key.
The energy profile—low at 0.56, mid at 0.37, high at a mere 0.07—speaks to a profound focus on groove and bassline, with melodic and vocal elements floating beautifully in the mid-range. Mixing is smooth and musical, with long, harmonic blends that let tracks breathe, creating a seamless journey rather than a series of drops. The harmonic progression is rich, using shifts into keys like 3B for deeper moments. The crate digging here is exquisite: 'Aphrodisiac - Song of the Siren' is a timeless, Mediterranean-flavoured dream, while 'Cosmic Sandwich - Zig Zag Feeling' is a bubbly, percussive gem.
'Oden & Fatzo & Camden Cox - Lady Love' brings modern, emotive house, and 'Ajda Pekkan - Cool Kadın (Mahmut Orhan Remix)' is a brilliant, cross-cultural flip. The inclusion of 'Jan Blomqvist - The Space in Between (Ben Böhmer Remix)' shows a keen ear for melodic depth. The journey from the iconic opening of Robin S.'s classic, through the hypnotic, 17-minute epic of 'Yello - Tied Up' as a mesmerizing peak, lands gently on the atmospheric 'LAAT - State of Play'. A full tracklist of pure class.
