This is pure A&B greatness, but with a few BPMs taken away. Mmmmm.
It took a while, a bit of hype, an amount of FOMO I’m ashamed to admit, but at last, here we are. You might be familiar with the news that Above & Beyond debuted their first-ever Peak-Time Deep set at a festival a few weeks ago in London. Well, now their historic set at Finsbury Park, where Anjunadeep Open Air London took place, is out on YouTube, in full length.
Of course, this is far from being Above & Beyond’s first-ever Deep Set, as it’s become a tradition by now that they themselves open their milestone ABGT gigs with an hourlong deep set. But that’s in the place of warmer-ups. Here, in contrast, the earlier acts warmed up the room for them, and the A&B boys, in this case Jono and Tony, truly delivered.
The Deep Set
Of course, the set couldn’t be quite so deep, in first place because the boys closed the night, but also because, well, it’s A&B, so they really experimented walking down the seam between Deep and Progressive, and Progressive Trance even. The set itself is a combination of Anjunadeep’s greatest, and their own productions in slower BPMs.
With that I mean to say, you can find tracks such as ANUQRAM’s remix of ‘Crazy Love’, both of their collabs with PROFF aka the recent Palermo / Fractals EP, iconic tracks such as Nox Vahn‘s ‘Brainwasher‘ and Joseph Ray‘s ‘Room 1.5‘, Yotto‘s legendary-by-now ‘Counting Down The Days‘ remix, and some special unreleased gems, such as Marsh‘s take on ‘Sun In Your Eyes‘, and a very, VERY special take on A&B’s Tranquility Base anthem, ‘Razorfish‘, courtesy of rising star Yeadon.
