Shake It

At 128 BPM in 8B, this is house with its shoulders squared: a clipped kick, a bassline that nudges rather than swaggers, and a vocal hook that arrives early and keeps returning without wearing out. The energy sits at 9, so the record doesn't build so much as hold a bright, forward pressure — useful when I want the room locked before I change the weather.

I'd place it in the middle of a set, after something looser and before the drums get harder. The key keeps it clean rather than moody; there's little shade here, just motion and a vocal that gives the floor something to hold on to. It won't carry a room alone, but it keeps the pulse honest.
