Anjuna and A&B were a very, very, VERY different beast 7 years ago. Trying to compare A&B then to A&B now is like night and day, and totally off the mark. My claim is not “baseless”, if you paid any attention to them nowadays, you’ll know they do not like deviating from their safe and predictable sets. My claim is based off of years of following them closely and know exactly how they operate; safe, predictable and within a limited comfort zone.

Im fully aware that the essential mix is for something “different”, thanks again for the mainsplaining. As I’ve mentioned in other comments, they only way they would agree to do an essential mix is if they forego ABGT 300 and played all new, unreleased music in the EM. All they care about in 2018 is marketing anjuna and pushing their brand, their interest in exposing people to new music across the entire realm of trance and progressive is minimal at best.

I bet you think they actually select ABGT tunes every week themselves still.

Let’s just agree to disagree.
