Chulo

I hear this groove lock in at a steady 125 BPM, and it immediately sets a gait that feels urgent without ever racing ahead. The energy is pegged at a muscular nine, audible in how the percussion stacks—tight, sun-bleached, and ruthlessly hooky. There is no subtle prelude; this is immediate, terrace-filling business, built for wide skies and exposed beams.

In my bag, it belongs to that mid-afternoon slot when the crowd is peaking but the light is still unforgiving. Its 1A key keeps the tonal centre cool and minor, letting it slip neatly between warmer records without losing tension. Altra Moda has essentially packaged a very specific Ibiza fantasy here: sweat, serotonin, and zero shade.
