The fastest tempo on 'Twenty One' sits in its very first cut: 'Next To Me' opens at 126 BPM and nothing that follows ever tops it. The real anomaly arrives in third position, when 'Quiere Party' —with Tokischa and...
Ten minutes in, the plan is already clear: Francis Scarlino's 'This Is On' opens in D minor at 125 BPM and Agua Sin Gas's 'Vamonos' immediately stretches the groove out to 7:18, the longest cut on the whole volume. The...
Thirteen of the sixteen cuts on 'Natural Born Disco Lovers, Vol.01' sit in minor keys. For a nu disco compilation — a genre that presumes celebration — that is a statement of intent: here the euphoria is built out of melancholy, that...
The warm-up writes itself: an Afro block at 120-122 BPM — 'Jamaican (Bam Bam)', 'Ma Tnsani (Yalla Habibi)', 'Mwaki' and Keinemusik's 'Move' with Camila Cabello — heats the floor without burning...
Eight BPM separate the slowest cut here from the fastest: from the 120 of 'Aint Nobody 2024' to the 128 of 'Fake ID'. In practice almost everything lives between 124 and 126, so tempo is never the issue — the set gets decided by...
Moon Boots turning up on a festival-minded funky house chart says a lot about where this selection is aiming. The Brooklyn producer —Pete Dougherty, a multi-instrumentalist whose blend of house, soul and disco helped push Anjunadeep toward a more...
Seventeen of this volume's twenty-five cuts are written in a minor key. For a compilation promising funky vibes, that stat looks odd on paper; read as a map, it makes sense: the festive side is the surface, and underneath runs a current far...
Eight minor keys chained together, with not a single major one letting in air: that is what happens between 'The Passenger' and 'Six Minutes To Dance', the stretch that defines this volume's character. D minor, C minor, F...
Twenty-seven beats per minute separate this volume's ceiling from its floor: 'The Oldschool' by Chile, Gama and House Music Bro tops the collection at 130 BPM, while Funkyy's 'Cruise' powers it down at 103 in barely...
The mirage lasts three minutes: Milo's 'Who Dis' opens at 130 BPM like a slammed door and, just when volume sixteen seems ready to bolt, 'Be Free' by Save The Robots and Winkar drops the pulse to 123, the calmest point of...
The first booth decision comes with 'Jandinga': Makrobeat and COBAH keep it at 94 BPM in Eb minor — room-opening material rather than packed-floor fuel, for that hour when the venue is still filling up. With 'Tropico' (104) and...
Forty funky house cuts, and the conversation starts at number four: 'Get On Up' by Moon Boots and Pinto (NYC) on Jackies Music Records. Moon Boots is Peter Dougherty, a Brooklyn producer trained in classical and jazz composition, seasoned...
At 111 BPM, 'Something' has no business opening a deep tech house compilation that lives between 121 and 130. Yet there it is: Leomeo and Federico Maniscalco reworked by Daniele D'Alessandro, whose 5:19 extended in D major sits a full...
Nine minutes of hypnotic electronica in D minor open the journey: Germind's 'Erotic Vaccine' sets the pulse at 124 BPM and makes it clear this ride is in no hurry. Plexus Music, an internet label founded in 2011 and based in Greece,...
One hour and sixteen minutes: that is 'Beach Feelings', the session opening this triple journey — deep house at 120 BPM in E minor, sand and salt before anything happens. 'Pool Party Grooves' follows, climbing to 125 and setting...
