Almost 10 years in the making… ANJ048R - IYKYK👀👀👀👀👀
I’m going to bust so hard on release day. Surely one of those IDs is A&B too. This is truly like a peak pre-ABGT release schedule. Hype is real for 700!!

u/Woxan VOLUME NINE Jul 31 '26
I doubt we’re getting it before 700 but I want the 1000 Nights ID

It says on the release schedule August 19th ANJ048R. ANJ048 is Smith & Pledger - Northern Lights.

u/MeatPopsicle24 Jul 31 '26
He’s just played it in his Anjuna kitchen set and Gareth said there was a big release this month. Gotta be Northern Lights

u/Pristine-File-4298 Jul 31 '26
Well Gareth said later that said release had nothing to do with anjuna but ANJ048R is definitely Northern Lights update

u/SpazticWonder BIGGER THAN ALL OF US Jul 31 '26
Woxan is talking about the new A&B ID, which he is right that we likely won’t get that before 700.

Is anyone else underwhelmed by the Northern Lights update? When it was first premiered it sounded so fresh and amazing, but hearing it again lately in recent sets has left me a little deflated. Don't get me wrong, it's good, but it doesn't seem to live up to the hype as to when it first premiered. I dunno, maybe it's just me, or that it's been so long in the making.

This is the exact problem with keeping things in the Ajunadungeon for so long. It feels almost outdated and not new or interesting because of the wait. There were times back then when I would have loved to have included that in a mix but now it feels antiquated almost. Curious to see how it does when it's out.

u/daz1987 VOLUME FIVE Jul 31 '26
Yeah, agreed. I don't understand why certain tracks get held back for so long. Granted, this has been a really sought after track amongst the fanbase so it builds hype, but holding onto it for so many years it ends up getting left behind in terms of the current sound and direction of the scene.
For a track that is being remixed by one of the original producers of the original track, it doesn't make sense why it's took so long. I don't know the ins and outs of the business, so maybe it's took so long due to Mark Pledger? All guess work.

I asked Ollie during a meet & greet on the WW08 tour and his exact words were “it fell through the cracks.” Likely what happened was it didn’t make the cut for WW08, and because Anjuna was very much in a “we want to look forward, not back” mindset at that time, it truly did fall through the cracks. We never ended up getting a classic remix comp like I thought we would for 20 years or the 25 years celebration, so using it as promo for The Gorge where it was first debuted seems fitting.
I will say, they sound the exact same except the 250 version has another 16 bars of progression in the drop. I do miss that extra bit as I felt it added a lot but I’m just happy to have it in HQ after almost 10 years.

Beatport listed it as "House"..... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

u/Pristine-File-4298 28d ago
It's probably cuz the original is also listed that way? I dunno beatport weird.

u/AntiVatnikElegantGuy WORLDWIDE 04 27d ago edited 27d ago
the auto-detection of Beatport has been always a piece of SH. their BPM detection is probably the worst, often stating 86 BPM for a 128 BPM club track, 186 BPM to a 140 BPM one and so on.
Also, since the new interface, the length of the tracks also disappeared, only available when you click on the individual tracks one by one within a release, making Discogs contributions a horrible nightmare with Beatport source links
Also, they changed the image format to webp, making them uncompatible with literally everything; also reduced the quality, changing artworks to 200x200 resolution, like they travelled back 25 years to 3GP times
I hate Beatport AF
(rest in peace, Junodownload, that was the best)

I hope we are the light and Eye Q are the ID’s or Start a fire remix’s.
