KEY: F minor
GENRE: Classic House
MOOD: Raw, groove-driven, underground, hypnotic, soulful
DRUMS: Punchy warm kick, tight clap slightly behind beat, swung 16th hats (55–58% swing), live-feel percussion (congas, shakers, tambourine). Minimal fills. Human timing, not rigid.
BASS: Short 1–2 bar funky bass loop following root notes. Warm analog tone. Repetitive and locked to kick.
HARMONY: Minimal loop-based progression. Fm7 – Db7 – Eb7. Short stab chords. No big melodic movement.
SOUND: Filtered disco-style chops, horn stabs, subtle vinyl texture, light saturation.
ARRANGEMENT: 16–32 bar DJ intro (drums + percussion), groove lock, filtered breakdown (remove kick, open filter), vocal chop tease, full drum return, percussion variation, DJ outro.
ENERGY: No EDM builds. No supersaws. Groove and repetition first.
