I made this mix for the 20 Years Of Anjunabeats Fan Mix Competition (https://anjunabeats.com/20/submit/).

The Anjunabeats catalogue is so vast and even more varied than I thought. I tried to pick somewhat lesser-known artists for this mix.

The hour starts out with some really gentle and beautiful deep/organic/melodic house, then slowly but surely builds momentum with some groovy progressive beats, and finally climaxes with an onslaught of lovely glitchy trance tracks. These tracks, in my opinion, combine the best of harmonically pleasing chord progressions, impressively detailed sound design, and emotive aural dynamics. If you're not blissfully energized and wanting to dance by the end of this mix... then just listen to it again. 🙃
