beatsbyhand 'SAPS' on Stay True Sounds

At 118 BPM, 'SAPS' is the slowest of the nine Afro House records this week, whose tempos run from 118 to 123. The track, filed as Afro House, arrived on Stay True Sounds in October, running in G flat major, Camelot 2B, and Hyenah placed it fourth of 15 in his Last Charts on 17 December.

The mix leans toward percussion, with plenty happening across the drums. Levels sit soft, with headroom to spare, and a treble that carries the track through its runtime, a bright, spacious read that suits its unhurried tempo. Fourth of 15 is a strong result for the single slowest record on the list this week, well clear of the bottom of the field despite carrying the lowest tempo of any Afro House entry.
