REVIEW: Jason Ross - Cairo out on Anjunabeats


With a Beatport number 1 now under his belt for "Atlas" (alongside Wrechiski), it's becoming impossible to ignore Above & Beyond's breakout star of 2014, Jason Ross. Thoroughly validating the 'one to watch' status handed to him by tastemaker site Less Than 3, his second solo outing on Anjunabeats is another peak time crowd pleaser, "Cairo".

Crafted for the big room arena, "Cairo" blends a potent progressive groove with the deep melodic roots that form the foundations for the label's biggest records. Rolling across the dance floor in waves of wide eyed euphoria, Jason weaves a rich tribal vocal throughout the arrangement; soaring chords and tight fills building to an exhilarating climax.


Dimitri Kechagias review: Anjunabeats is on great shape at the moment with amazing success on beatport trance chart with some weeks even with three tracks from number 1 to number 3. I call it Anjunabeats phenomenon and one of the artists that is part of this, he is about to get the recognition he deserves in 2015.  The new Anjunabeats rising star is called Jason Ross. The beloved producer that never stop to impress with his solid productions takes the listener by the hand for a magnificent journey in Cairo. The track is moving on the well known Above & Beyond sound that merges successfully the progressive big room elements with trance sensibilities and fluorescent aesthetics. Bouncy pounding tribal drums, punchy energetic driving mouthful basslines and cool twists and turns build the main foundation of this magnificent anthem. The breakdown is the magical space that the fantastic vocal sample appears along with cinematic epic strings and euphoric synths creating one of the most outstanding moments on the dj set of any dj who will play this masterpiece. The climax is full on and in your face packed with ethnic voices, warm and sweating sounds and bassline that you feel from head to toe. Cairo is beatport trance number 1 guarantee. #PureGold Love It
