Anjunadeep 10 [Album Review]

Anjunadeep Vol 10

For all the Anjuna lovers out there, we know that Anjunabeats is more than just a record label. It’s a lifestyle, where every artist is unique, and each song has a very special meaning. But, there is also another side of Anjunabeats called ‘Anjunadeep‘, which originally started as the deep / progressive side of Anjuna, to later become its own brand with totally different sounds and a more profound approach on their songs. Founded in 2005, Anjunadeep is expanding its universe at every minute, and we are happy to announce that today, Anjunadeep is releasing their newest compilation ‘Anjunadeep 10’.

The mix consists of 37 tracks within 2 discs, and it fully represents the evolution of the label. James Grant and Jody Wisternoff, the masterminds and curators of the compilation, have said:

“It’s hard to believe we’ve reached the 10th volume in the Anjunadeep compilation series. Despite Anjunadeep 10 being a bit of a milestone, we’ve resisted any temptation to go down a nostalgic route. Instead we’ve tried to keep the mix as forward-looking as possible – our amazing family of artists have been creating far too much exciting new music for us to contemplate any other approach.”

The album is full of gems, and contains excellent tracks from Luttrell16 Bit Lolitas, Virtual Self, Spencer BrownBen Böhmer, Yotto, Lane 8 and many more. Check our exclusive review below:
