Anchovy

At 128 BPM in 4A, the groove locks in with the kind of utilitarian precision I expect from credible after-hours tackle on a label like 17 Steps. The energy is pegged at nine, yet the record channels that voltage into a steady, rolling deep-house churn rather than explosive peaks, keeping my floor moving without ever demanding centre stage. Texture-wise, it feels lean, slightly anonymous, and deliberately un-showy—exactly the sort of bridging tool I reach for when fading between tougher cuts in the small-hours mist. It slots neatly into a set that prizes momentum over memory, a reliable plate that does the job and keeps the room unified without leaving a scar.
