London based John Monkman made his Anjunadeep debut last summer with “Open Frontier”, a deep downtempo beauty featuring a stand out vocal from Liz Cass.
Having fallen in love with the track, Martin Roth created an edit for his sets, to bring the languid original to the dancefloor. Upping the energy, the leftfield vocal sprawls above a dark, raw groove. Martin’s remix quickly found its way into the sets of many an Anjunadeep DJ, and has been a memorable moment at our recent label parties.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Anjunadeep is one of the most forward thinking record labels nowadays and despite their success they don't do compromise. It's hard to be a leader and take the risk that others are not ready to take. Anjunadeep invest on new talents that have their own identity and will mature into massive artists in the near future such as Dusky that will become super successful even in UK Top 40 this year. The next big release on Anjunadeep is by John Monkman. His deep anthem Open Frontier is remixed perfectly by the German master Martin Roth. The beloved producer goes deep, dark, haunting and superbly atmospheric for a sonic journey that challenges the mind, body and soul. Tribal techy rolling groove, excellent raw percussion, deep moody basslines, dark synths and some classical cinematic strings. The vocal by Liz Cass is absolutely mindblowing and her performance has so much strength and power that will punch you in your stomach and give you goosebumps. Martin is one of those producers that create sonic experiences that introduce us to a whole new world of sounds. We have to close our eyes and let the art do the healing! It takes time but its needed. #PureClass #PureGold Love It
