My Name

At 122 the kick isn't in a hurry, but the energy reading of 9 tells you where the pressure sits — in the sub, in the way the bass leans against the grid rather than sitting on it. The mood tags are the interesting part: happy and sad and aggressive and relaxed all logged on the same record, which is roughly what it sounds like. Bright chords over a sour little undertow, a shaker keeping things loose, percussion that never quite settles.

I'd play it as the hinge of a set, somewhere past the midpoint when the room is warm and nobody needs convincing. In 5B it'll sit with the melodic material without softening it. Danceability near the ceiling, but the record's real trick is restraint — it holds something back, which is why I keep coming back to it.
