Mano Le Tough 'So' on Passion Beat

Passion Beat dropped Mano Le Tough's 'So' in its Extended Mix on 22 Nov 2024, and it appears on Andhim's Peeve Charts list of 13 Dec, where it sat at eighth among 10 tracks. The cataloguing here on this database filed it under Melodic House & Techno, and the tempo field reads 120 BPM. That makes it the slowest of the 14 records in this week's Melodic House & Techno list, which runs from 120 to 128 BPM. It is also a slow one for dance music generally, though it is by no means alone at that tempo in this week's set: one other record in the list also runs at 120 BPM.

The weight of 'So' sits in its drums, which come through in a dense hit pattern. The percussion is moderate in level and moderately open under the track's peaks, with plenty of light up top. Mano Le Tough has released 20 records since 13 October 2014, most of them on Kompakt, Balance Music, Armada Music Albums, and Innervisions. The release before this one was 'Big Trip Believing', also on Passion Beat, which came out on 20 November 2024.
