At 128 BPM, it strides with the urgency of a peak-time floor-filler, yet its breaks-electronica skeleton refuses straight four-on-the-floor obedience. I hear widescreen drama here, keyed in 1B with a brightness that cuts through smoke and strobe, channelling an energy level of 9 into something that feels almost overwhelming in its emotional candour.

I’d place it in the set like a leftfield crescendo: recognisably house in its pulse but deftly strange in its architecture, bridging the Ninja Tune pedigree of cerebral electronics with bodies in motion. I drop it when the room needs to ascend, not just move—an offering of tasteful propulsion that lingers in the chest long after the kick fades.
