Zaleel

Shivum Sharma Presents at Keep Hush Live London often means a dive into UK garage's soulful past, and Zaleel's set is a loving, expertly curated trip down memory lane. The vibe is warm, nostalgic, and slightly hazy, like a perfectly remembered night from 2002 recreated in a basement. This is a UK garage and funky house narrative with a rolling 147.3 BPM average, using the 12A and 5B keys to craft those signature, swing-driven chords and basslines.

The energy is deeply rooted in the low-end at 69%, providing that essential garage bounce, while the mids at 24% carry the sweet vocal snippets and melodic hooks. Zaleel's mixing is smooth and musical, prioritizing flow over flash, with harmonic blends that make every transition feel like a natural progression in a story. The tracklist is a treasure trove: JTJ Productions' 'Is You' is a deep, hypnotic opener that sets a moody tone.

STICKY's 'Boo' with Ms. Dynamite is a garage classic that never fails to ignite a floor, and the Official DJ Psycho edit of 'I Want It That Way' is the kind of cheeky, genius pop rework we live for. The journey begins with the deep pull of 'Is You', hits its emotive peak with the sing-along potential of the Backstreet Boys edit or 'Boo', and closes on the sheer, undeniable joy of the Mariah Carey 'Always Be My Baby' remix.
