Jody Wisternoff - Shivver
Jody Wisternoff - Vintage
Way Out West’s Seasoned EDM veteran Jody Wisternoff continues to turn out top-drawer tunes as demonstrated by his debut efforts on Anjunadeep “Lassoo” and “No Longer Strangers”, and this double A-side sees him return in style.
“Vintage”, as the name suggests, has an almost retro feel about it with its long, drawn out 80s-influenced synthesiser lines and intermittent electric guitar riffs. Building in a suspenseful interlude built around those same synthesiser lines, “Vintage” can be slid into the early part of a set or used to break things up in the middle with equal aplomb.
Next up you have “Shivver”, a deep, moody and complex number with delicate melodic sprinklings reminiscent of Hawk’s seminal prog house masterpiece “Need For Cognition”. Add in some evocative string sequences, brief dashes of organic percussion and a grinding, pumping bassline that tries at every opportunity to break away off its leash, and you’ll f ind this to be a very intricately structured box of musical tricks.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Anjunadeep continues to impress and set high standards in the progressive scene with the brand new EP by one of the finest progressive house magicians the always on top Jody Wisternoff. If you think that Im exaggerating things I recommend you to check out the brilliance included within his latest EP on Anjunadeep. Firstly Shivver is a beautiful atmospheric deep progressive house track with intresting vocal samples reminiscent of Moby style and great composition that slowly builds and builds until to reach the point that all the elements of retro house, classical music influenced melodies and continuous progression come together for an exciting main part that give its place on a break beat like small breakdown and then the outro part. You will feel Shivvers without doubts. Vintage is a modern progressive house anthem with piano melodies, the epic classical influenced themes, great percusion that adds a tribal dimension and main melody that recalls Vangelis or Jean Michael Jarr electronic music classics. Pure class, pure quality, pure brilliance, pure innovation. Highly recommended!
