Wild City #266: Best Friends (Likwid & Deep Brown)
30 October 2026
Our latest mix is a special 2.5-hour journey recorded live by Likwid and Deep Brown, a super pair of DJs who perform together under the name Best Friends, during their performance at Goa's JUNA back in July.
Being the forces behind institutions like Bleep, Dusdozen, DGTL India, and Forward, Likwid and Deep Brown's partnership goes back through different cities all the way to their home region of Kolkata. The experience translates into the cohesiveness with which the pair maintain the ebb and flow of the 2.5-hour mix.
It is an exercise in varying stimulation that starts laid-back with minimal and ambient techno before the textures turn more psychedelic through acid-inspired cuts like Eden Burns' 'House Non Stop' 30 minutes in. The mix slowly enters the funky basslines of house for its defining middle peak, gradually ushering the listener into a joyous space.
The rhythms of the basslines are slowly substituted by rhythms of drums, as percussive cuts by the likes of Orion Agassi turn the experience heavier, leading us finally deep into the purer and darker grounds of acid house and techno before the pair brings us back down gently.
"This one’s a live recording from a recent all-nighter at Juna. We kept things deep, minimal and trippy through the night, weaving in some old-school 2000s tech house, old-school progressive gems and newer stuff. It was also a day the protesters’ demands were met, so there was this extra celebratory, uplifting energy in the room that made the night feel pretty special, which we feel reflected in our mix" – Deep Brown, Best Friends
