Northern Star

The kick lands with a measured thump at 122 bpm, leaving just enough space for the vocals to curl around the edges without cluttering the mix. There is a brightness to the open tuning of 4B that keeps the harmonic palette airy, while the energy pushes the room forward without collapsing into noise. It feels like a track that trusts the melody to do the heavy lifting.

In a set, this sits comfortably in that late-transition slot where the floor is warm but not exhausted. The melodic lines offer a brief reprieve from harder percussive loops, though the energy is too insistent to let the room drift. I would place it after something skeletal and before the deeper hypnotic stuff, letting the vocal warmth act as a soft hinge between moods.
