The Anjunadeep Edition 305 with Jody Wisternoff

Jody Wisternoff back on the Anjunadeep Edition is like slipping into a favourite worn-in leather jacket; we know exactly what we're getting, and that's precisely the point. Comfort food for the soul, with a four-to-the-floor heartbeat, and we are here to be gently carried away. The setting is likely a cozy home studio, but in our minds, it's a late-night session in a basement bar where the drinks are strong and the conversation is minimal. From a technical perspective, Wisternoff is in his element. The mix cruises at 124 BPM, finding a sweet spot between deep house groove and melodic progression.

The key of 5A dominates, providing a warm, minor-tonal foundation for the journey. Energy is distributed with a deep house purist's ethos: 51% lows for the groove, 47% mids for the harmonic content, and a mere 2% highs for atmospheric texture. The mixing is effortless, with tracks allowed to unfold naturally, their emotional cores fully exposed across a BPM range from 118 to 160. Standout picks include Leaving Laurel's 'Take Your Time', a beautiful slice of melancholic electronica. M.O.S.'s 'La Sonnette' adds a touch of French-touch filtered disco.

Luttrell's 'No Pressure' is a driving, synth-led highlight, and Jody's own 'Lately' offers a smooth, vocal-led moment. The inclusion of ZHU's 'Risky Business' shows a willingness to step outside the label's immediate wheelhouse for a techier, darker groove. It builds from an unknown start through layers of deep and melodic house, culminating in the surprising but effective electro-tinged remix of 'Let's All Pray for This World'. The Anjunadeep Edition 305 with Jody Wisternoff is a dependable, expertly crafted deep house journey and full tracklist.
