Hermanez 'A Kind of Tree' on Mooizo

Nothing else in this batch of organic house releases moves quicker than Hermanez's 'A Kind of Tree', on Mooizo, which tops out at 122 BPM in D major while the rest of the field sits as low as 120. His last one before this was 'Labyrinth', on Just Movement, back in July on a separate label entirely, some months before this one arrived.

The drums do most of the driving here, with a steady run of hits that never lets the pace dip. It is a brisk, percussion-forward cut, the quickest thing in the field, built to hold that pace from start to finish.
