Are You Listening?

At 122 the groove never hurries; it rolls, with the kick sitting low and the bass doing the walking rather than the pushing. The vocal is the architecture here — Afnan Prince's topline floats over Jerro's pads instead of fighting them, and the whole thing sits in 10B with that bright, open quality that keeps the top end from feeling crowded. Energy sits around seven, which is exactly right: enough movement for a floor that's already committed, not so much that it breaks the mood.

I'd place it in the middle of a set, after something harder, as the point where the room starts breathing again. The texture is clean and slightly wistful — melodic house with a bit of ache under the gloss. It won't change anyone's night, but it will hold it, and holding is harder than it sounds.
