Oxted Moods by Aananda

Berlin-based duo Aananda debuts on Art Vibes with ‘Oxted Moods’, a dreamy house-infused EP. Iman Deeper and Hubrist joined forces to create Aananda, highly inspired by electronica & deep house. The duo also performs live through instrumental improvisations and electronic reshaping of their original material.

This release is made up of three originals and two remixes by Tunisian desert explorer KeyBe and Berlin shaman Sangeet. The three originals, ‘Sultano’, ‘Oxted Moods’ and ‘Of A Nightingale’ are crafted with catchy filtered grooves, distant piano chords, and traditional percussions, perfect blend for a chilled down afternoon party. Paying attention to details, Aananda carefully sets a floating and hypnotic atmosphere throughout this EP.

Sangeet’s interpretation is focused on a groovy blend of percussions, rhythms & vocal samples maintaining the original’s deep atmosphere. KeyBe’s vision of Sultano builds a haunting and mesmerizing feel through the choice of hypnotic string patterns and ethereal pads.

Aananda is a study of beauty and raw power, taking inspiration from electronica and deep house to create new space where dance music moves not only your feet, but your heart as well. The live performance is an exploration of emotion and the present moment through instrumental improvisation and the live electronic manipulation of their original music.
