The Ninja on this record
The groove settles at 125bpm with a lightness that belies its top-end energy rating, letting F-major chimes and filtered disco licks breathe across the bars. The percussion is crisp but not punishing, leaving space for the bassline to roll underneath with a lived-in warmth that feels closer to a basement than a stadium.
I would let this run in the hour where the room is warm but not yet frayed, sliding it in after something lower-slung to let the melody do the gradual lifting. It is the sort of record that earns its keep through patience rather than force, and at 7B it locks neatly into brighter, major-key sequences without stealing the spotlight.
