"James Grant's Anjunadeep 04 Sampler" collects four distinctive vibes from his mix on the "Anjunadeep 04" album - described by DJ Mag as "another dependably excellent instalment from the Anjunadeep stable".
Andrew Bayer & James Grant join forces for a fresh house reworking of Above & Beyond's uplifting anthem "Prelude" - recently used on the ITV adverts for the African Cup Of Nations. Taking the track in a different direction, the duo's rework oozes deep vibes with French house sweeps, nu disco grooves and chopped up R&B vocals merging with the original's uplifting key - adding some classic breakbeat funk in the breakdown.
A stand out track from "Anjunabeats Volume 9", Parker & Hanson's "Afterthought" is then given the remix treatment by Anjunadeep star Colin Fisher aka Soundprank. Bringing his unique mellow vibe to the original, his interpretation retains the original's charismatic piano magic.
Deep house legend Vincenzo then follows with his melodic groover "Get To Know You". A laidback deep house shuffler with cosmic textures and hypnotic vocal samples, "Get To Know You" is an essential for fans of Anjunadeep's deeper side.
The package is completed with a welcome return of the enigmatic Stephen J. Kroos. Dark, brooding but deeply uplifting, "Phobos" adds a progressive twist to the classic techno vibes; with a haunting chord progression producing a truly atmospheric track.

Dimitri Kechagias review: The most consistent and highly regarded progressive house label Anjunadeep part of the Anjunabeats family returns with another stunning volume of their always exciting label compilation. On Volume 4 label head James Grant and the Australian prog house god Jaytech provide two great mixes to take you on a journey through the beauties of progressive house sounds. Now its time to take a small taste and get in full length 4 of the great tracks included on Volume 4. First of all is the magical remix by Andrew Bayer & James Grant on Above & Beyond's masterpiece Prelude. The two talented producers add their signature sound by going deeper, housier with additional vocals, moodier atmosphere and lovely breaks part in the breakdown that adds funk and that creative edge to slowly uplift the mind and soul. Superb remix that proves that human creativity is endless and limitless when their is talent. Next is Parker & Hanson and their superb track Afterthought in the brilliant interpretation by Soundprank. Bubbly steady progressive beats and upon them the magical warm strings and the hypnotic melodic layers creating a massive cocktail of warmth and tenderness that has the smell and the taste of apple & cinnamon tea. Particularly the breakdown is so beautiful with that piano melody that adds a sensual erotic edge. The top producer Vincenzo delivers the excellent Get To Know You. Deep techy chunky vibes with electro undertones ready made to create that old school flavoured atmosphere. Last but not least Anjunadeep regular Stephen J. Kroos composes the eccentric Phobos. Deep progressive house with tech house sensibilities with relentless driving atmosphere and melodramatic theme in the breakdown along with cool funky vocal samples. 4 great tracks from a must have compilation. Love It!
