The Ninja on this record
At 136 BPM in Bb major, 'Pogo' rides a clipped, wiry guitar line over a straight kick and a bass that keeps its head down. The energy is pinned at ten, but it never feels frantic; the mix is bright and dry, with a vocal that sits forward and a synth that flickers like a faulty neon sign. It builds a room that's more basement than stadium — tight, sweaty, and ready to move.
I'd slot it early in a set, when the floor needs a jolt without a full-scale detonation. The major-key brightness and that steady 136 BPM pulse make it a natural bridge from indie into electro, though it's too eager to be a closer. It's a record that does its job with a grin — not subtle, but not stupid either.
