VA - New Releases by OnlyBeats - [G]

There's a G-major ladder hidden in this volume, and anyone mixing in key will find it on their own: G 'N' P Tauro's 'Tour' sets it down at 121 BPM, Glowal's 'Robats' picks it up at 126, 'Bass Breaker' pushes it to 128 and 'Life' by Gaga and Mateo! crowns it at 132, deep in peak-time territory. Four cuts, one key, an eleven-BPM climb: half a set solved without ever changing lanes.

The openers live down low. gggguerra's 'Suave' breathes at 71 in B major and 'A Lullaby' by Gary Cooper SA and Da Q-Vibe stretches more than seven minutes of deep house at 86. From there, 'Activists' and 'Fragile' lift the pulse to 115 and GEØVHÄN's 'Harmonia' opens the melodic door at 120. F minor draws the other complete route: from 'Activists' to Gorge's double on Bar 25 Music —'Deeper Love' and 'Levitate', same 125 BPM, same key, a near-automatic blend— and on to 'My Remedy' by GABY and Dew, now at 128 and in tech house mode.

Robsoul, Diynamic and a detour to Bristol

The middle stretch carries names with history. Gramophonedzie —Marko Milićević, the Belgrade producer who took 'Why Don't You' to number 12 on the UK chart in 2010— lands two doses of jackin house on Robsoul between 123 and 125 BPM, greasing the move from deep into tech house. Glowal records for Diynamic, the Hamburg house Solomun co-founded in 2006, while Genic supplies the unexpected swerve: 'The Drill' and 'Ain't No Joke' (with Trakker) arrive on Sofa Sound, the label DLR built in Bristol in 2017, and their drum & bass at a listed 87 —read 174 on the floor— works as a set closer or as the genre switch nobody sees coming.

For the final punch there's Gero Ojeda's tech house tandem at 130-131 and 'Atoms Move So Fast' at 132. Funny that gggguerra signs both extremes of the volume, 71 and 132: the same alias covers the first quarter hour and the climax. Few packages make it this obvious where every piece belongs.
