About this listen

Music is backed by science as much as creativity. Strong beats typically sit between 120–140 BPM, a tempo range that naturally energizes the body and aligns with heart rate during movement. Repetition and simple, catchy patterns make the song easy for the brain to predict, which increases pleasure when expectations are met or slightly broken. When these elements combine with a powerful drop or hook, the result is a track that feels exciting, memorable, and impossible not to move to.
