House FM

At 133 bpm, this locks into a lean electro stride that feels imported straight from Detroit’s grid, all rubberised bass and chrome-plated percussion. I hear the energy at a solid nine, relentless without being reckless, carving out a narrow corridor of tension that keeps a floor locked in a heads-down sway.

Working in A minor gives the pads a frostbitten severity that contrasts nicely with the low-end warmth, and I’d use it as a deadly pivot between bassline and classic electro. It is the kind of record I reach for when the room is already smouldering and I need to turn up the heat without losing the swing.
