The kick lands with a tenacity that justifies the energy 10 rating, yet I keep returning to the way Larson keeps the temperature human through dub chords that bloom rather than bruise. At 122 BPM, the groove occupies a sweet spot between propulsion and trance, letting the track breathe even as it insists on forward motion. I can hear the melodic contour clearly; this is not echo-chamber filler, and the warmth I look for in this slot feels fully earned.
I would drop this as a bridging weapon: heavy enough to peak a room but patient enough to let the floor lock into its cycle. Sofa Sessions feels like a credible home for this kind of understated muscle, and the 6B key gives those pads an open, optimistic lift that cuts through smoke-machine haze. It is minimalism with a pulse, and the pulse is loud.
