AnjunaDeep Favorites

Released 8th March

After giving you a taste of some of the tracks that Jaytech’s been mixing up on the new ‘Anjunadeep:03’ compilation, we thought it was only fair to have James Grant pick out a selection of tracks from his mix. 

We begin with an edit of the deep, soothing fathoms of Sasha’s Involver Mix of Spooky’s ‘Belong’. A timeless, spiritual progressive anchor track that demands (and rewards) repeated listens, it is tweaked to perfection in this new edit from Prankster aka Soundprank.

Boom Jinx & Andrew Bayer truly are an Anjuna ‘Dream Team’ and they did not disappoint with last year’s smash ‘By All Means’. The Solarity boys take hold of Øistein and Andrew’s progressive masterpiece and transport it into floatier realms on an uncharacteristically restrained rework that demonstrates their melodic touch and shows that they’ve added a few more weapons to their arsenal to go alongside those heavyweight basslines!

Next up we have the retro-tinged melodic delights of Da Funk’s slow burner ‘Weekend Rubdown’. A track that has been hovering around for a while, its languidly paced, richly layered number with a thick, grubby groove, sheeny 80s synth lines and a chilled vibe that befits the title – it gets a tidy 2011 respray by Jaytech & James Grant.

Wrapping up the EP is another future hit from Michael Cassette by the name of ‘Regatta’. With its delightful cascades of undulating synths and pulsing groove it’s more in the progressive style than hook-filled, chorus led tracks such as ‘Summer’ and ‘Kilimanjaro’ and will no doubt become a real favourite.

Spooky - Belong (Sasha Involver Remix) [Prankster Edit]

Residing in New York’s Brooklyn, rising producer Beckwith caught the ear of many an Anjunadeep fan with his remix of Boom Jinx & Andrew Bayer’s ‘Fracture’ last year. More recently his recent twisting, journey of a track ‘N To Brooklyn’ was a highlight of Jaytech’s ‘Anjunadeep:03’ CD and now gets its full release alongside the equally inventive ‘F To Manhattan’.

Themed around the train journey to which its title alludes, ‘N To Brooklyn’ begins on glowing melodic cruise, chugs along brilliantly, before hitting a magical peaking bridge on the breakdown. Taking things back underground it hits you with grimy bass, before weaving the melodies back in for a brilliant finish. 

With swirling synths, distinctive bleep grooves and impressive arrangements, the second track ‘F To Manhattan’ offers another melodic mixture of tech and progressive vibes – all expertly weaved in Beckwith’s unique style. An impressive full Anjunadeep debut from a producer with a bright future.

Having first featured on Anjunadeep with his remix of the legendary Underworld's "Two Months Off" on Anjunadeep 03, David Khanjian aka DAVI returned with two brilliantly textured deep house offerings on James Grant's "Anjunadeep 05" mix.

Currently building a reputation as one of the hottest talents around with appearances on Damian Lazarus' esteemed Crosstown Rebels label, DAVI displays his coming-of-age form with "The Bay 6 EP".

The first of his "Anjunadeep 05" offerings is "The Bay 6 (pt. 1)", which begins with an unsuspecting intro and gentle vocal before DAVI's trademark bassline powers through. Elegantly accompanied by swirling atmospherics and subtle pads, the low-end is the foundation of what is a surefire dancefloor winner.

"The Bay 6 (pt. 2)" sees Khanjian twists things inside out, once again building the track around an all-encompassing bassline, partnered with infectious vocal snippets and crisp, chugging percussion. 

DAVI's other Anjunadeep 05 contribution, "The Time Has Come ", fuses bass heavy deep house with spacey progressive influences to create a late night groove packed with subtle melodies and a unique moody vibe.

DAVI - The Time Has Come

Used to carry James Grant's 'Anjunadeep:03' mix to a groove-fuelled melodic climax, Matt Lange's 'Rift' is yet another signal of the US-producer's unparalleled sonic skills.

Subtle, sonically warm and full of musical nuances, 'Rift' is built around a languorous, almost French house styled bassline with waves of slow-burning melodic textures easing into the mix. 

A producer renowned for his class and individuality, Andrew Bayer then puts his own refined musical stamp on 'Rift'' with a gorgeously paced and deeply musical re-interpretation. Blending a slightly darker bass groove with some swirling but subtle synth work, Bayer then illuminates the original's melodies into an epic, starry-eyed breakdown


Matt Lange - Rift (Original Mix)

Italian trio Answer42 always bring an air of class to Anjunadeep and 'Dew Point' is no different. Already well loved from its appearance on 'Anjunadeep:03', 'Dew Point' treads a smart balance between finely tweaked funk and melodic bliss - coming alive in an arm-raising breakdown moment. 

German technician Martin Roth then offers two contrasting remixes. The chugging, rippling funk of his 'Morning Dew' remix takes things down an intensely hypnotic electro-tech path, while his more uptempo 'Evening Dew' remix raises the energy levels, beefs up the bassline and adds a beautiful release of post-breakdown melody rush. 

Closing the package, Answer42's 'Clorofilla' is another busy groover that acts as a perfect companion to 'Dew Point' - with some crazy cosmic melody freak-outs as the track evolves.

‘Depends On You’ is the output of a three-way collaboration between South American producers Paolo Malde (Electrobios) and Luis Caparroso (Liluca) and Dutchman Johan Vermeulen (Interplay).Featured on 'Anjunadeep:03', 'Depends On You' is languid, luscious and laid-back to the point of being horizontal. As its gentle, lilting melodies, soft synths and chilled, carefree demeanour all meld together, 'Depends On You' stakes a claim as one of the surefire Anjunadeep anthems of the summer.If you thought that was sonic perfection, sit back and enjoy the Electrobios and Liluca version - as they take control of a mesmerising, groovalicious work-out that goes heavy on the flashes of sheeny synths and throws in more than a little dash of 80s inspiration. Whichever mix you pick, you’ll no doubt agree that you’re in for a treat.

Londoner John Monkman has an impressive musical CV, having worked with legends like Pete Tong and Bryan Ferry in the past. His Anjunadeep debut, “Open Frontier” follows acclaimed releases on Get Physical and Suara and features gorgeous vocals from long-time collaborator Liz Cass.

Full of atmosphere, “Open Frontier” is a deceptively languid affair, with Liz’s effortless vocals drifting above a beautiful chugging groove packed full of heady, melancholic melodies. Assured vocoder work adds a leftfield touch, whilst the sparingly used low-end packs a real punch.

Bristolian up-and-comers Behling & Simpson have been on our radar for some time, with some cracking releases on Futureboogie, Exploited and 2020 Vision catching our attention. They deliver two killer mixes of John’s original, a sprawling, almost epic ‘Deep Mix’ and a ‘Club Dub, that ups the energy whist maintaining the trippy vibe captured in the deeper version.

Danalog - Click, Search (Jody Wisternoff Remix)

Beatport: http://po.st/bDiamonds

I see your face on the cover/
Gloss paint your lips like a lover/
Hot blood starts flooding into memories/
What you said still haunts like a melody/

Those times they shine like diamonds/
Shoot up this love affair/
White lies like knives in a poison heart/
I keep running but I never seem to the lose the dark/

Why don't you go and break the heart of me/
Just take another little part of me/
Why don't you go and take the heart of me/
I tell myself it's just the start of me

November 17 on Anjunadeep

Following his recent anthems "New Vibe" and "Overdrive", Australian star Jaytech hits out with a dual surge of modern progressive anthems - delivered in his own unique and musical style. 

Capturing the essence of Jaytech's trademark sound but breathing new life into it at the same time, the melodic groover "Atlantic" has already become a favourite of Above & Beyond. 

A high energy club bomb, "Synergy" compliments it perfectly and again keeps the focus on the dancefloor without ever losing the music. Bringing together starlit melodies and worming electronic funk, "Synergy" builds a hypnotic atmosphere before perfectly poised pianos ride the waves.

Focussing on an increasingly deep house-centred style, German producer Martin Roth returns to Anjunadeep with appropriately titled "Beautiful Life" and the sultry "Make Love To Me Baby". 

Clearly containing some of the DNA from Martin's previous outing "Deep Style", "Beautiful Life" is laced with languid, downtuned grooves and layers moody interludes, softly echoing vocal fades and some gorgeous swathes of synth to conjure an edgy deep house number. 

Offering a more sunny contrast, the sultry and seductive sounds of "Make Love To Me Baby" blend chilled out grooves with a late-night soulful feel and some classic, understated piano house keys.

Following on from the success of last year's  "Japanese Schoolgirls", Suspect 44 bring another glistening, 80s-influenced anthem to the Anjunadeep table. 

Already a big tune in Anjunadeep circles thanks to its appearance on Jaytech's "Anjunadeep 04" mix, "Neon Feel" lives up its name with bright, 80s-influenced synths, nostalgic piano melodies and Suspect 44's trademark cut-up vocal funk.   

Coming off the back of their own recent success with "Fragments" and "Aria", Answer42 provide their own glitch funk take on the original; with nods to the likes of Madeon and Pnau.

In a relatively short period of time, Colin Fisher aka Soundprank already feels like an Anjunadeep stalwart; consistently delivering high-quality EPs of diverse electronic bliss.

Offering three distinct sounds, Soundprank's latest EP continues this trend and leads with the uptempo "Boundless Energy". A highlight on Jaytech's "Anjunadeep 04" mix, "Boundless Energy" is a shrewd blend of Colin's intricately textured melodic finesse but delivers a sucker punch thanks to an instantly catchy, upbeat riff pattern. 

A more hypnotic, driving affair, "Change Of State" shifts through oscillating grooves, a blissed out breakdown and dramatic developments of the main melody patterns. 

An equally strong third track, "Midas" brings a more funk-fuelled approach with subtle 80s influences and infectious grooves.

Released 21st February 

Firmly established as a bedrock of the progressive and melodic techno sound, Anjunadeep has scaled new heights in the past 12 months with support coming from acts as disparate as UK techno baron Dave Clarke, Laurent Garnier, Eric Prydz, Groove Armada’s Andy Cato and stadium-filler Deadmau5 – the latter commenting on Michael Cassette’s Anjunadeep anthem ‘Ghost In The Machine’: “I haven’t felt this good listening to a piece of music since Eric Prydz’s ‘Melo’ -10/10”. 

Showcasing the full spectrum of the label’s diverse sounds, Anjunadeep 03 is the latest annual label collection and features 29 largely unreleased tracks that range from deep, dark and hypnotic techno sounds to upbeat, uplifting electronic house grooves.

Beginning on the lush techno of Stephen J Kroos’ ‘Micrsh’ and the beautifully brooding deep house chasms of Martin Roth’s ‘Deep Style’, Anjunadeep A&R James Grant’s CD1 mix continues to build through melodic techno and progressive textures with tracks and remixes from Underworld, Spooky, Michael Cassette, Andrew Bayer and promising newcomer, Soundprank.

On the second disc, Anjunadeep mainstay Jaytech shows off a slightly more upbeat and uplifting electronic house sound that touches on nu disco, electro and more classic house grooves and includes Jaytech’s own forthcoming anthem ‘Djembe’, as well as deep audio offerings from Solarity, Dinka, PROFF, Interplay and Maor Levi. 

To celebrate the release of this flagship release, Anjunadeep is holding a brace of transatlantic launch parties. The first will take place at the world-famous Ministry of Sound on Friday 4th February, where Jaytech and James Grant will be perform a 4 hour back2back set for The Gallery.
