James Grant & Judy Wisternoff | Anjunadeep 08
(Red Essential, Anjunadeep)
Anjunadeep, the tastemaker label behind talent like Cubicolor, Lane 8, Dusky and Yotto, has announced ‘Anjunadeep 08’, the latest installment of its flagship compilation series curated by James Grant and Jody Wisternoff.
In 2016 the label has released acclaimed debut albums from Cubicolor and Croquet Club, plus a string of underground cuts supported by Dixon, Laurent Garnier, Sasha, Annie Mac, Eric Prydz, Tale Of Us, Kölsch, Deadmau5, Pete Tong, Ricardo Villalobos among others - further enhancing its reputation as a global A&R hotbed.
This year fans have been made to wait a little longer for their 8th annual dose of deepness, as James and Jody have spent over a year hunting, gathering and arranging this year’s collection, creating 11 of their own exclusive remixes and edits in the process.
The result is Anjunadeep’s most widescreen comp to date. From the gentle ambience of Croquet Club and Hiatus through to the classic dancefloor grooves of Yotto and Way Out West, James and Jody
bridge the gap from melancholic to euphoric on a carefully crafted journey that is full of texture and emotion.
Alongside new music from label favourites Lane 8, Dusky and 16 Bit Lolitas, the mixes showcase a new wave of talent, including appearances from Luttrell, Tontario, Icarus and We Need Cracks. Solomon Grey and Ólafur Arnalds also return to the comp series with exclusive new remixes.
